Chapter 252 The car started moving!
Zhang Yan sat next to him, by the window.
Put the backpack on your lap.
The train slowly started moving.
The platform receded backward.
The tall buildings in Jinghai slowly grew shorter and farther away outside the window, eventually disappearing below the horizon.
Instead, there were vast farmlands, utility poles, and a gray sky.
Wang Hao took out a bag of chicken feet, two bags of spicy strips, a pack of ham sausages, a bucket of instant noodles, and three bottles of cola from his backpack.
They were arranged in a row on the small table.
The scene looked like a protracted war.
"Brother Yan, want some?"
"No."
"These chicken feet have tiger skin, they're delicious."
"Um."
Wang Hao tore open the packaging and started sucking on the chicken feet.
He slurped very loudly.
Very engaged.
very happy.
Zhang Yan took the old book out of his backpack.
Turn it over.
Book title: Mozi Xian Gu.
Of course, he wasn't looking at the literal meaning of the words.
The blank spaces on the pages were filled with densely packed mechanical structure sketches drawn with extremely fine pencil lines.
That's an optimized transmission system design for Tyrannosaurus Rex.
He needs to make thirty-seven minor adjustments based on the existing drawings and the characteristics of the materials at hand.
Every part is related to the overall structural strength and energy output efficiency.
To the average person, those lines would just look like random graffiti.
But if you show it to Qin Changfeng's military experts—
He would probably go into shock on the spot.
Because any single module from those "graffiti" is enough to propel existing military technology forward by fifty years.
Zhang Yan leaned against the window, listening to the clanging of the train while modifying parameters on the pages of his book.
Occasionally, I would look up at the scenery flashing past the window.
Green rice paddies.
Mountains in the distance.
A winding river.
It was completely different from the world he traveled through the ocean depths in piloting the Sea Devouring Shark.
But it was just as quiet.
My phone vibrated in my pocket.
Nie Qingcheng.
"Are you on the bus?"
"Okay. I'm seated. The car is moving."
"What are you sitting on?"
Zhang Yan hesitated for a second.
be honest.
"Hard seat".
There was a five-second silence on the other end.
Zhang Yan could almost feel the temperature on the other side of the phone screen dropping.
"You'll sit in the hard seat."
"Wang Hao bought the ticket."
There was another three seconds of silence.
"Zhang Yan".
"Um."
"You own three cars, the right to use a private helicopter, and a mechanical shark that can sink warships."
"Um."
"You'll sit in the hard seat."
"Experience life."
A very soft laugh came from Nie Qingcheng's side.
I don't find it funny.
It's that kind of laugh that says, "I just can't do anything with you."
"Be careful on the road, let me know when you arrive."
"it is good."
"Remember these three messages."
"I remember."
"...Couldn't you say a few more words?"
Zhang Yan thought about it.
"The wontons are filled with chives and shrimp. If you want some, I'll make more when I get back."
It quieted down for a moment.
Then he sent two words.
"Get out of here."
This was followed by a rabbit covering its face emoji.
Zhang Yan put his phone away.
The uncle across from me finished his roast chicken.
He wiped his mouth with his greasy hands.
She looked up at Zhang Yan.
"Young man, is that your girlfriend?"
Wang Hao answered first.
"Um!"
With half a chicken foot still stuffed in his mouth, he mumbled, "His girlfriend—ugh!"
Zhang Yan deftly stuffed a sausage into his mouth with one hand.
It was completely blocked.
"Eat yours."
Wang Hao's eyes widened.
His mouth was stuffed with chicken feet and sausages.
The drum turned into a hamster.
The uncle burst into laughter.
"Young man, that's great!"
Zhang Yan nodded.
He didn't reply.
He reopened the book.
The pencil moved silently across the paper.
The outline of a gear is formed in the blank space.
Then comes the second one.
The third.
transmission shaft.
Energy conduit.
The folded structure of phase armor.
The train rattled and swayed on the tracks.
The mountains outside the window are becoming more and more numerous.
taller and taller.
It's getting greener and greener.
The city has completely disappeared.
All that remained were the sky, the mountains, and the endless plains.
Zhang Yan closed the book.
Looking out the window.
If a twelve-meter-tall mecha were hidden in the folds of those mountains—
Nobody can see it.
……
Wang Hao finished his third bag of chicken feet.
I finished my second bottle of Coke.
He let out an extremely loud burp.
Then they came closer.
"Brother Yan."
"Um."
"Let me tell you about the situation in my hometown, so you'll have a general idea."
Zhang Yan nodded.
"My second uncle's family lives in Liuxi Town. The town isn't big, with only about two thousand people in total," Wang Hao gestured. "But this time we won't be staying in the town. We'll be staying at my second uncle's house—in a village outside the town called Wangjia'ao."
"How far?"
"It takes about forty minutes to walk there from town."
"If you're driving, it'll take about ten minutes if there's a road."
Are there many mountains?
"It's all mountains." Wang Hao sighed. "I lived there for two years when I was a kid, climbing mountains every day, I almost threw up from all the climbing."
He counted on his fingers.
"There is a big mountain behind the village called Qinglong Ridge, which is over 1,000 meters above sea level."
"Further in, there are even deeper mountains, where wild boars and snakes are said to live. Locals don't go in."
Qinglong Ridge.
Zhang Yan's gaze shifted slightly.
"Is there no one living in the mountains?"
"Of course not, all the young people have gone out to work, leaving only the elderly and children. There's no way anyone could be in the mountains—" Wang Hao suddenly became alert, "Brother Yan, you're not thinking of going hiking, are you?"
"I have that plan."
"That mountain is difficult to climb, and there's no path..."
"No need for a road."
Wang Hao opened his mouth.
It closed again.
Although he didn't know exactly what Zhang Yan was doing.
But he vaguely knew one thing...
This roommate is a bit different from normal people.
very different.
He couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.
But his intuition told him not to ask any further questions.
I couldn't understand even after asking further questions.
You might be scared if you understand it.
"Alright then," Wang Hao gave up. "Once we get there, feel free to wander around. My second uncle's family is very welcoming."
"What's your cousin's name?"
"Wang Dazhuang".
Zhang Yan glanced at him.
"Where's his father... your second uncle?"
"Wang Jianguo".
Where's your dad?
"Wang Jianjun."
"..."
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Zhang Yan leaned back in his seat. "I just think the naming system is very consistent."
Wang Hao failed to grasp the subtle meaning behind those words.
He took out his phone and started scrolling through short videos.
After making a couple of strokes, he suddenly exclaimed "Huh!"
"Brother Yan, look at this!"
He turned his phone over.
A short video is displayed on the screen.
Title: [Stunning! Mysterious "Mechanical White Tiger" Appears at Yuntai Mountain in Jinghai! Tourist Photos Revealed! Views Exceed Two Million!]
The image is a bit shaky, but you can see it clearly—
A huge, silver-white, four-legged mechanical body carrying two people was speeding along the ridgeline.
Sunlight shone on its metal armor, reflecting a dazzling light.
The comments section exploded.
"Is this fake? Is it CG?"
"It can't be CGI! Look at the lighting and shadows, it's definitely real footage!"
