Chapter 174: The Gilt Neighborhood
() At 4 a.m., there was almost no one on the road, and the old-fashioned jeeps raced through the towns.
Xia Feng, who was sitting in the co-pilot, couldn't help but ask Ace.
"Brother ace, didn't you say last night to contact a private car, why did you drive one yourself?"
"Hey, where to contact on the big night."
"Then you're ......"
"I stole it."
Summer breeze gave a thumbs up.
"High!"
"By the way, the one I stole was the one we stayed at in our garage."
Hearing his words, Xia Feng immediately showed a wicked smile of relief.
"Hey, hey, big brother ace, wonderful!"
............
The jeep was driven by the experienced ace brother, and Xia Feng didn't have to worry about anything, according to the distance on the map, they would definitely reach Harpy City before dark.
The jeep quickly drove out of the town of Sanna, speeding down the wide road, and strange sights on both sides of it were fleeting, Ursas, Colombia, the third country he set foot on after crossing into the world of Terra, Vina's hometown, Victoria.
In the past, he worked hard to survive, he would freeze to death if he didn't find a place to live on the streets of Ursas, and in the disaster area of Mandel City, he would die of ore disease if he didn't get medical treatment, until now, he no longer worries about the threat to his life, and the most important reason is that he is no longer alone.
It doesn't matter if it's a mercenary or a military policeman, even if it's an infected organization, as long as he doesn't want to die, there should be nothing in this world that can quickly threaten his life, at most it will cause him a lot of trouble.
But as the saying goes, people's ** is endless, just like childhood troubles, middle-aged and middle-aged crises, people will face choices at different stages, and now he has successfully reached Victoria, and the next choice may really affect the development of history.
Brother Ace promised to escort them to Victoria, whether it was to find Vina or the second uncle, as long as their lives were stable, Brother Ace's mission would be completed, and with his understanding of Ace's character, he would not join the gang, because it would be contrary to his beliefs.
Everyone has their own aspirations, he has no right to ask Big Brother Ace not to leave, whether it is a supermarket delivery man or something, Ace has his own choice, but if Big Brother Ace leaves, I don't know if that sad history will be repeated after three years, and where he can't control it, everything will become unknown.
Yes, he didn't want Big Brother Ace to go, but there had to be a reason for that, unless he .........
To be honest, he had already thought about this idea in his heart, and finding and turning to Vina seemed to be the most beneficial and safest solution for him at the moment, but in a sense, it may not be the most correct choice.
Looking at the scenery outside the car window, Xia Feng asked the ace next to him casually.
"Brother Ace, have you heard of Rhode Island?"
Ace's expression didn't change in the slightest.
"I haven't heard of it, what's wrong?"
"Nothing."
................
There are many forks in the national highway in Victoria, and it can be seen that many roads have been abandoned, and the reason for this is because of natural disasters and the existence of mobile city-states.
Xia Feng still didn't understand how to move the city-state, after all, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, but as the name suggests, in order to avoid natural disasters, just like a crab, cities with the ability to move will move on the map, while cities without the ability to move can only move people, and the city will die.
The distance of each city movement is usually not too far, but even so, its geographical location can change, so whenever a city moves, not only the map must be updated, but the roads outside the city must be reextended or rebuilt.
To be reasonable, the technology of mobile city is unimaginable to ordinary people, even in his original world, this kind of thing can only appear in science fiction movies, there is no doubt that this is the result of the source stone technology, in order to avoid the destruction of important cities in natural disasters, the country has developed this technology using the energy in the source stone.
This is also a disguised understanding, why countries around the world should seriously control the source stone trade, in order to develop science and technology and respond to natural disasters, the source stone is basically in short supply, in addition to normal consumption, it is also necessary to reserve a large number of source stones as much as possible.
On the other hand, in the private sector, the source stone is also an important consumable, the large-scale equipment of private factories, the operation of large-scale vehicles, the release of source stone skills, etc., it is precisely because of the large amount of demand that the source stone has become the most expensive item in the world, because all the industrial chains born of the source stone constitute the pattern of today's Terra world.
............
Xia Feng now has the latest version of the map in his hand, and he can't go wrong with it, the sun is gradually rising to the highest point in the sky, and the jeep is driving smoothly all the way on the road.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
They finally arrived at the city where their second uncle was, Hapi City.
...............
Xia Feng dialed the phone.
"Hey, second uncle, we're here, where is your house?"
The second uncle's voice came immediately.
"Our house is at Block A, Kilt, No. 44."
Xia Feng immediately took out a pen and read silently while memorizing.
"Kilt Block, 44...... This, how do I know where this is? ”
"You kid, just ask someone."
"Oh."
It seems that the second uncle really didn't treat him as an outsider.
.............
Ace drove into Hapi in a jeep, and there were no roadblocks or checkpoints along the way, and Ace explained to him that in such a medium-sized city, and not a transportation hub, law and order is usually very lax, and unless there is a major incident with a bad impact, the local security department will only turn a blind eye.
Xia Feng almost understood, because the traffic was not very convenient due to the mobile city, and the cities in Victoria were relatively closed to each other, to put it bluntly, each city has a little bit of a municipality flavor, as long as the bright side is over, everyone wants to live a little easier in their own territory.
Originally, Xia Feng was worried that the car stolen by Ace would be exposed because the hotel proprietress called the police, but now it seems that it is the case, and now it has run thousands of kilometers, who cares about you.
............
The jeep walked around the city, and after inquiry, Xia Feng soon knew where the second uncle's Kilt neighborhood was.
Unlike the flat roads in the city centre, jeeps face south and drive through potholes, and the buildings in sight are getting older, making this Kilt neighbourhood seem to be an old town.
Xia Feng poked his head out of the car window and looked at the door numbers on each house on the street.
Kilt A, 35, 36, 37.......
44, Block A, Kilt
Soon, Xia Feng found this house number, and as far as the eye could see, the house looked good.
Although this lot looks a little old, it has to be said that the site of each family is really large, the structure of the houses in the whole street is basically similar, and the door face near the street is usually one or two floors, which is a bit similar to the store house, and there is a large courtyard through the store house, and at the end of the yard is the main building.
"Squeak!"
Jeeps are parked on the side of the road.
Sitting in the car, Xia Feng saw a person waiting at the door from afar, and he knew without asking that this person must be Hemer's second uncle, which could be seen from his race.
The second uncle's age looks not young, but it is not to the point of being very old, about fifty or sixty years old, his height is about one meter seven, and the feathers on his head are a little bald, but with a hooked nose and bright eyes, he looks like a sturdy little old man.
Seeing that the second uncle had been waiting at the door for a long time, Xia Feng immediately pushed the car door and walked towards him in a bouncing manner.
"Second uncle, we're here!"
