Chapter 42 Goodbye by fate
Early morning, Hongyan City.
The vampires, who had enjoyed themselves all night, were about to prepare for rest when they were shocked by the sharp sound of the alarm.
This time, it's not the arrival of some big shot from the vampire clan, but the warning of war.
.........
As Li Zhe drove on the streets of the inner city, he clearly felt a different depressive atmosphere than before.
There has been no large-scale war in Red Rock City for a long time, and many businessmen traveling between the Federation and the Vampire Clan have almost forgotten the subtle hostility between the two sides.
Li Zhe drove to the gate leading to the outer city and found that there were very few people passing through the gate, especially those coming from the outer city, and the inspection was very strict.
"Show me your ID!"
Li Zhe originally wanted to pass by scanning his face as before, but this time he was asked to show his ID and undergo an identity check.
Red Rock City is the industrial and commercial center of the Vampire Clan on the Crimson Star. It has a strict wartime management system. In normal times, it seems corrupt and loose, but at this time, no one dares to joke with their own lives.
Li Zhe took out his electronic ID card and swiped it on the sensor at the gate, making a "beep" sound.
The next second, the expression of the guard responsible for the inspection suddenly changed, and he stood upright and saluted Li Zhe.
"I'm sorry, sir, I didn't recognize you..."
Li Zhe nodded slightly and went out of the gate on his own, but whispers soon came from behind him.
"I'll go, I told you last time! This man is a big shot..."
"Bah! You clearly said last time that he might be some adult's male favorite..."
"Isn't that a big shot? Keep your voice down, you want to die!"
...........
"Dong dong dong"
The knocking on the door was slow and slow, and the rhythm was just right, so that the people in the house did not feel disturbed or uncomfortable.
Keli was feeding He Xiu inside the house. When she heard the knock on the door, she immediately became vigilant and closed her eyes to sense the danger around her.
Molun, who was on guard, had already leaned against the door, looked out through the peephole, and put the rifle in his hand behind him.
"It's that guy!"
Cory opened her eyes and nodded, motioning for Moran to open the door.
She felt a little helpless because he didn't sense any trace of breath outside the door, as if the person knocking on the door was an invisible ghost.
After opening the door, Li Zhe walked in.
Corrie asked with a smile: "What's wrong, big shot? Does he have business to take care of us again?"
Li Zhe shook his head and looked at He Xiu on the chair. He frowned slightly when he saw that he needed to be fed even when he was eating.
He Xiu's body recovery speed was much slower than he expected.
Li Zhe said coldly: "Pack your things and I will send you away."
"Leave now? Can't we give it another two days? Have we been discovered?" Keli looked at Li Zhe and asked in surprise.
"No, the war is about to start. It's not convenient for you to stay here."
After Li Zhe finished speaking, he carefully observed the three people, He Xiu, and captured their expressions.
Mo Lun had a cold face and showed no expression, Keli looked sad and a little disappointed, but the injured He Xiu showed a shameful smile.
After all, they are members of the Federal Supervision Department, and they are still here when the war comes, and they are indeed suspected of spying on intelligence.
But they couldn't blame Li Zhe. In this chaotic situation, no one would take risks. It was a good thing that Li Zhe didn't give them orders.
He Xiuqiang tried to stand up, but Keli quickly supported him.
"Although we are not from the same place, thank you very much!"
He Xiu was very weak, and his speech was a little weak, but Li Zhe felt that he was sincere inexplicably.
Corrie asked Mo Lun to get He Xiu a coat, and then she and Mo Lun changed his clothes together, and then helped him downstairs together.
After getting in the car, Li Zhe drove straight to the city wall in the outer city.
The atmosphere of war in the outer city was stronger than that in the inner city. City Guards military vehicles were parked at many street corners. People were being picked out and pushed onto the vehicles. It was not known whether they were captured spies or strong men.
The car was a little dull, and Li Zhe suddenly asked: "Have you been in contact with others recently?"
"No," Corrie shook her head and said, "We haven't gone out. He Xiu's injury is too serious and we don't want to cause trouble."
Li Zhe's fingers tapped on the steering wheel a few times, but in the end he did not change the driving direction.
When he entered Corrie's room just now, his sense of smell failed for a moment, and then a memory appeared in his mind.
"Fragrant Flower" is colorless, odorless and very rare. It can erase the remaining traces of smell and has a magical restraint effect on the vampire's sense of smell.
But Li Zhe's sense of smell was very special, and he smelled a hint of tea.
...........
The intersections leading out of the city were very strictly checked, but Li Zhe's electronic card had a very high level and he successfully sent Keli and others out of the city.
Li Zhe threw three backpacks to Mo Lun, which contained a full set of wilderness survival items. With their super powers, it was not difficult to cross the wilderness.
"Hi! We don't know your name yet?" Seeing that Li Zhe was about to leave, Keli couldn't help but ask.
"Call me Muzi!"
Li Zhe drove away in the car, and Keli carried He Xiu on her back, and her petite body walked resolutely into the wilderness.
He Xiu said helplessly: "Can't you let Mo Lun carry me?"
Corrie remained silent, while Molun pretended not to hear and ran ahead to investigate.
"I will write a report when I get back."
"Writing nonsense, they can wipe their own butts themselves, or at worst we will downgrade them to another level."
“…..”
............
Li Zhe did not go home after returning to the city, but instead went to Master Luke's antique shop.
Due to the war warning, most of the shops on the street were closed, but Master Luke's antique shop was still ajar.
Jiaming was still reading on the chair, and a pot of tea was brewing on the table, with two teacups placed on it.
However, there was a simple luggage bag at his feet, obviously preparing to go out.
Seeing Li Zhe come in, Jiaming smiled and poured him a cup of tea.
"I thought you weren't coming!"
"How did you know I was coming?"
"I guessed it, do you believe it?"
The two had an incomprehensible conversation with each other, and then both laughed.
Jiaming pushed the two books on the table to Li Zhe: "These two books are left for you. They may be helpful to your research direction."
Li Zhe picked it up, flipped through it, and asked with a smile: "My research direction is antiques! Are these two books of yours wrong?"
Jiaming finished his tea and said with a faint smile: "I think you have been looking for the secret of the fire in the refuge of civilization in the last era."
"............"
Li Zhe was really surprised. Even Mu Yu didn't explain this matter in detail, but Jiaming guessed it.
"What did you guess?"
"Is there any need to guess? When you were discussing the civilization of the last century with me, you would inadvertently ask about this issue many times. Sometimes I wanted to tell you directly, but you were still going around here.
.”
"........."
"I have given you some lists at the back of the two books. If you have the ability, go find those secrets!"
Jiaming stood up, picked up his luggage and left without saying a simple goodbye. He was really free and easy.
Li Zhe chased him out, hesitated for a moment and shouted: "How can I find you in the future?"
In fact, Li Zhe wanted to ask him if he was related to the Ministry of Supervision.
But after coming to this world, Li Zhe subconsciously avoided in-depth contact with other people. The person who really communicated the most was his chatmate who was not considered a friend...
"See you soon!"
Jiaming waved his hand and disappeared around the corner of the street.
Li Zhe was silent for a moment, then opened the book in his hand and turned to the last page, where several information channels were clearly written in ancient Kali script.
Twilight Continent, Scarlet Parliament, Twilight Library.
God Superstar: Temple, Presbyterian Library.
