Night’s Nomenclature

Chapter 362: The boy asking for help in the wilderness

breaking Dawn.

On the wild plains, three strange-looking pickup trucks were rolling up huge plumes of smoke and dust, heading north.

The body of the pickup truck is silver, and there are glowing blue and purple light strips on the edges and corners of the body, which look like fireflies in the dark night.

The bed of the pickup truck was covered with a waterproof tarpaulin, and the bags under the tarpaulin seemed to be full of cargo.

On the side of the pickup truck, the words City 10 and The Revenant are spray-painted, followed by a serial number 0291.

This is an officially established team of wilderness hunters with legal hunter licenses.

There was deafening music playing in the pickup truck, and the five men and two women in the truck were still in a state of excitement at this early hour. .

But at this moment, they saw a bonfire in the lee of a small slope in the wilderness.

Beside the bonfire, a young man was sitting on a stone warming himself.

On the gray and vast wilderness plain, the orange-red bonfire is like a lighthouse in the black sea, making people unable to help but take a second look.

The young man sitting looked very lonely.

When the young man saw their vehicle, he stood up and walked to the dirt road, stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up.

That's the universal sign for hitchhiking in the wilderness.

Someone in the pickup truck turned down the music and asked on the car intercom: "Something is wrong. Who is alone in this wilderness in the depths of winter?"

"It's possible that the car broke down halfway. If the car didn't turn off the engine in time in this crazy weather, it could easily drain the battery."

"Looking at the attire, he should be from the Federation, not from the wilderness."

"The maximum age is 18 years old, the threat level is not high."

"Are you taking him?" someone asked during the evacuation.

"Don't be too fussy, let's just rush over," a calm young man in the pickup truck at the front said through the car intercom: "We have important things tomorrow, and it's best not to let outsiders know about this kind of thing. "

When the motorcade passed by the young man, the young man glanced at him.

The young man watched them go away with helpless eyes.

The next moment, when the young people looked at the rearview mirror, they found that the young man was lying on the ground at some point and was reaching out to them with difficulty, as if to keep them from leaving.

It looks as miserable as it gets.

On the car intercom, a girl said: "How about we help him?"

"But Tuanzi, what if he follows us back to the Federation and leaks what we will do tomorrow?" said a young man.

The girl thought for a while and said: "Chu Ci, we are different from those people. The education we received prevents us from ignoring death."

These people are generally young and look to be only one or two years older than the boy on the roadside just now.

But I heard another young man suddenly say: "The temperature in the wilderness is too low. It is at least 300 kilometers away from City No. 10. I just looked specifically and found that there was no food on his bonfire. It should be in the wilderness in winter." There is no food to be found. If we don’t carry him, he will probably starve and freeze to death in the wilderness.”

"Perhaps we can avoid him when we trade with the wilderness people tomorrow? We can't just watch him die in the wilderness."

The three pickup trucks fell silent at the same time.

It seems like everyone is thinking hard about something and then waiting for someone to make a decision.

The next moment, in the car at the front, a calm young man named Sun Chuci stepped on the brakes: "Lao Wu, you guys cover, I'll pick him up and get in the car."

Until then, everyone in the convoy seemed to be relieved.

Sun Chuci drove back to the boy. The girl next to him was on guard with an automatic rifle, and he stepped forward and said to the boy: "You want a ride, right? To city No. 10?"

The young man stood up and dusted himself off: "Yes, I'm going to City No. 10. Thank you so much. I didn't expect you would be willing to give me a ride."

The young man seemed a little surprised. Most of the people who could run around in the wilderness were ruthless people. He himself didn't expect anyone to give him a ride. He just thought it was fun.

Unexpectedly, after the other party left, they turned back again.

Sun Chuci looked at the young man: "I'm sorry, although we are willing to carry you, we must search you and collect all the weapons on you."

The young man nodded and let Sun Chuci come over to search him.

What puzzled Sun Chuci was that the boy didn't carry any weapons, only a basic lighter.

It's normal to bring a lighter. The climate is dry in winter, so you can light a bonfire even without a fire-making device like Thor's. Thor's thing is for wet firewood, and not everyone can afford it.

But a person comes to the wilderness alone without any weapons on him? This is indeed strange.

He asked the boy: "Hello, why are you here alone? What are you doing in the wilderness?"

The boy replied: "My friends and I came from City 1 to City 10. We got into a fight on the way and they left me on the road. I thought they would pick me up after two days when they calmed down, but I didn't expect that they would not be there once I left. He came back. He even took away the firearms I used for self-defense, but I didn’t even have time to get them."

Sun Chuci and Tuanzi, who was holding an automatic rifle on the side, were stunned for a moment: "So outrageous?"

The young man nodded and said: "I still have cash and gold bars in my backpack, and he didn't leave them for me. You take me to city No. 10. When I find a friend and get my own money, I can pay you some rewards."

The dumpling opposite suddenly said in a very low voice: "Why does it sound so similar to Qin Shihuang's joke? Give me money, and after I find my own imperial mausoleum, I will share half of it with you."

The face of the young man walking alone in the wilderness did not change, but he had already heard all these words.

Sun Chuci did not respond, but looked at the young man: "Hello, what should we call you?"

The young man smiled and said, "Just call me Qing Xiaotu."

The young man was Qingchen. With his current hearing, even if the girl's voice in front of him was very low, he could still hear her clearly.

So he immediately realized: This is a team of time walkers, otherwise how would he know about Qin Shihuang?

It's no wonder that the other party would be willing to pick up a stranger in the wilderness. If someone from the other world had been working in the society in their teens, they would have long been accustomed to the sinister nature of people's hearts.

The young people in front of them look like they have just entered college. The education they have received has always been to be helpful, warm and friendly, which is the gentle background of a nation.

The other party may not have expected that Qingchen has such good hearing, and may not have expected that Qingchen is also a time walker.

At this moment, two other pickup trucks were parked not far away. Someone in the car was holding an automatic rifle and aiming at Qingchen's figure to prevent him from posing a threat to the convoy.

Qingchen took a quick look and realized that although the other party was kind, he was not stupid. At least he had the necessary precautions.

He guessed that this might be a student time walker organization at Zhengcheng University. After everyone became time walkers, in order to survive, they gathered together to keep warm.

The city is very dangerous, so everyone comes to the wilderness to make a living.

Nowadays, there is a saying on the Internet of the World, not to mention that it is difficult for time walkers to mix in the city, and even the survival of the indigenous people is often a problem. It is said that knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing the heart, instead of being plotted by others in the city, it is better to go to the wilderness At least beasts are ferocious, but not as calculating as humans.

There is a saying from a world-famous philosopher: I am afraid of ghosts, but the ghosts have not hurt me at all. I am not afraid of people, but people have left me covered in bruises...

At this time, Sun Chuci raised his right arm, and his right hand curled up his index finger and thumb, as if to signal the other two cars to cancel the alarm.

Qingchen found this scene very interesting. The other party also had his own set of tactical gestures.

After being searched by Sun Chuci, Qingchen sat in the back of the pickup truck. The temperature of the air conditioner in the car made him breathe out a breath of cold air comfortably: "Are these wilderness hunters?"

In the car, the girl named Tuanzi next to Qingchen asked casually: "We are the Wilderness Hunters... By the way, why are you and your friends going to City No. 10?"

Qingchen remembered Jiang Yichen's excuse, and then explained seriously: "Let's go to City No. 10 to attend a cram school together to prepare for Qinghe University's independent enrollment in the spring."

Qinghe University is the most famous university in the federation. City No. 10 is the main campus, and city No. 18 is the branch campus. Therefore, at this time every year, aspiring students from all cities in the federation will go to these two campuses. City.

Of course, there is also a Fire Military Academy that is as famous as Qinghe University, but the Fire Military Academy does not approve independent enrollment in advance, so everyone can just take the exam in their respective cities.

This excuse is so useful right now.

When Tuanzi heard that Qingchen was a candidate, she was stunned for a moment. She suddenly said: "I also wanted to get into Qinghe University, but unfortunately I failed. Since you said you were a candidate, can I ask you a few questions? . Don’t think too much, I just want to confirm your identity. Find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com"

Although Tuanzi and the others are wilderness hunters in the inner world, they are serious undergraduates in the outer world. Therefore, in Tuanzi's view, if someone wants to pretend to be a good student in front of them, it would be a big mistake.

While talking, the girl kept her hand hidden under her coat, where she was holding a pistol pointed at Qingchen.

Qingchen was happy in his heart. Wasn't this what he said to Jiang Yichen back then? It was almost exactly the same!

However, he is not a scumbag like Jiang Yichen!

Qingchen smiled and said: "You ask, if I can, I will definitely answer."

Sun Chuci silently pressed the car intercom, while Tuanzi recalled the contents of high school and asked ten math questions in a row, and Qingchen answered them all.

Someone on the intercom said: "Cowhide."

Among these ten questions, Tuanzi even included a special question on a system of finite-dimensional linear equations, which is part of linear algebra.

This is the only difference between the high school in the other world and the high school in the outer world.

But Qingchen still answered, which proved from the side that Qingchen was indeed a high school student preparing for the exam in another world, and even eliminated the suspicion of the time walker.

After all, high school students in the world don’t learn this stuff.

Of course, this is not enough to fully prove it.
