Nomenclature of Night

  Chapter 364 The boy who asked for help in the wilderness

breaking Dawn.

  On the wild plain, three pickup trucks with strange shapes are rolling up huge smoke and dust, heading north.

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

  The body of the pickup truck is covered with a waterproof tarpaulin, and the underside of the tarpaulin is bulging, which seems to be full of goods.

   Just on the side of the pickup truck, the words of City and Revenant No. 10 are spray painted, and a serial number 0291 is attached to the back.

   This is an official wilderness hunter team with a legal hunter license.

  There was deafening music playing on the pickup truck, and the five men and two women in the car were still in a state of excitement at dawn.

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

  Beside the bonfire, there was a young man sitting on a stone and warming himself by the fire.

  On the gray and vast wilderness plain, the orange-red bonfire is like a lighthouse in the black sea, which makes people can't help but take a second look.

  The sitting boy looked extremely lonely.

  When the young man saw their vehicle, he got up and came to the side of the dirt road, stretched out his hand, and gave a thumbs up.

   That's a common gesture for hitchhiking in the wilderness.

  Someone in the pickup truck turned down the music and asked through the intercom: "Something is wrong, who is going to be alone in the wilderness in the middle of winter?"

   "It's possible that the car broke down halfway. If the car doesn't turn off in time in this horrible weather, it will easily run out of battery power."

   "Looking at the dress, it should be a member of the Federation, not a wilderness."

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

   "Pick him up?" someone evacuated asked.

"Don't worry about it, let's just rush over," a calm young man in the front pickup truck said through the intercom: "We have important things to do tomorrow, and it's best not to let outsiders know about such things. "

  When the convoy 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 man looked in the rearview mirror again, he found that the young man was lying on the ground at some point, and was stretching out his hand towards them with difficulty, as if he was trying to keep them from leaving.

   It looks as miserable as it needs to be.

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

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

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

  These people are generally not very old, and they seem to be 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, here is at least 300 kilometers away from city No. 10. I just checked, and there is no food on his campfire. It should be in the wilderness in winter." There's no food to eat. If we don't carry him, he will starve and freeze to death in the wilderness."

   "Maybe we can avoid him when we trade with the Wilderness 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 waiting for one to make a decision.

  The next moment, in the front car, a calm young man named Sun Chuci slammed on the brakes: "Old Five, you cover, I will pick him up."

  Until this moment, everyone in the team seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

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

  The boy got up and patted the dust off his body: "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 to be a little surprised. Those who can run in the wilderness are mostly ruthless people. He didn't expect anyone to give him a ride. He just thought it was fun.

   But he didn't expect that the other party had left, but he turned back again.

  Sun Chuci looked at the young man: "I'm sorry, although we are willing to take you, but we must search you and confiscate all the weapons on your body."

  The boy nodded and let Sun Chuci come over and search him.

  What puzzled Sun Chuci was that the young man was not carrying any weapons, only a basic lighter.

  It’s normal to bring a lighter. The climate is dry in winter. Even if you don’t need fire-making equipment like Raytheon, you can light a bonfire. Raytheon’s stuff is for wet wood, and not everyone can afford it.

  But a person came to the wilderness without any weapons? This is indeed very strange.

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

The boy replied: "I came to City 10 from City 1 with my friends, but there was a quarrel on the road and they left me on the road. I thought they would come to pick me up after two days when they calmed down, but I didn't expect that they would come to pick me up after I left." I went back. I even took away my self-defense firearms, and I didn’t have time to get them.”

  Sun Chuci and Tuanzi, who was holding an automatic rifle, were stunned for a moment: "Is this outrageous?"

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

  The dumpling on the opposite side suddenly said in a very low voice: "Why does it sound so similar to Qin Shihuang's stalk, give me money, and when I find my imperial tomb, I will share half of it with you."

  The expression of the young man walking alone in the wilderness has not changed, but he has already heard these words in his ears.

  Sun Chuci did not respond, but looked at the boy: "Hi, what should we call you?"

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

  The young man was Qing Chen. With his current hearing ability, even though the girl's voice in front of him was very small, he could still hear it clearly.

  So he immediately reacted: This is a time traveler team, otherwise how would he know Qin Shihuang's stalk?

   It’s no wonder that the other party is willing to pick up a stranger in the wilderness. If the people in the other world have been working hard in society in their teens, they may have long been used to sinister people.

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

  The other party may not have thought that Qing Chen's hearing is so good, and they may not have thought that Qing Chen is also a time traveler.

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

  Qing Chen roughly glanced at it. Although the other party was kind but not stupid, at least the necessary precautions were taken.

  He guessed that this might be a student time traveler organization in Zhengcheng University. Everyone became a time traveler in order to survive, so they gathered together to keep warm.

  The city is very dangerous, so everyone came to the wilderness to discuss life.

Nowadays, there is a saying on the watch world website, not to mention that time traveler is difficult to mix in the city, even the survival of the aborigines is often a problem. The so-called knowing people, knowing the face and not knowing the heart, rather than being calculated by others in the city, it is better to go to the wilderness In fact, at least beasts are ferocious, but not as calculating as humans.

   It means that the world-famous philosopher has a good saying: I am afraid of ghosts, and ghosts have not hurt me at all. I am not afraid of people, but people make me bruised...

  At this time, Sun Chuci raised his right arm, and curled up his index finger and thumb in his right hand, as if signaling that the alarms of the other two cars were off.

   Qingchen found this scene very interesting, and the opponent had a set of tactical gestures of his own.

   After being searched by Sun Chuci, Qing Chen sat in the back of the pickup truck, and the temperature of the air conditioner in the car made him breathe out comfortably: "Are any of you Revenant Hunters?"

  In the car, the girl named Tuanzi next to Qingchen asked casually, "We are Revenant Hunters...by the way, what are you and your friends doing in City 10?"

  Qing Chen remembered Jiang Yichen's excuse, and then explained seriously: "Let's go to City No. 10 to attend cram school together, and 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. So every year at this time, students with aspirations in all the cities of the Federation will spare no effort to come to these two City.

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

  This excuse is so easy to use now.

When Tuanzi heard that Qing Chen was a candidate, she was stunned for a moment, and she suddenly said: "I wanted to be admitted to 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, just to confirm your identity."

   Although Tuanzi and the others are Revenant 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 is a big mistake.

  While speaking, the girl kept hiding her hands under her coat, where she was holding a pistol and pointed it at Qing Chen.

  Qing Chen was happy in his heart, isn't this what he said to Jiang Yichen back then, it's almost exactly the same!

   It's just that he is not a scumbag like Jiang Yichen!

  Qing Chen said with a smile: "You can 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 problems in a row, and Qingchen answered them all.

  Someone on the walkie-talkie said: "Cowhide."

  Among the ten questions, Tuanzi even came up with a special question about finite-dimensional linear equations, which belongs to the content of linear algebra.

   This is the only place where Li World High School is superior to Piao World High School.

   But Qing Chen still answered, which proves from the side that Qing Chen is indeed a high school student preparing for the exam in the other world, and even ruled out the suspicion of Time Traveler.

   After all, high school students in the world do not learn this stuff.

   Of course, this is not enough to fully prove.
