C92 (1/2)

They set off early the next morning. The two cars sped towards the northernmost area at breakneck speed. The sounds of conversation were unceasing. It didn't look like they were here to complete a mission, but more like they were here for a tour of the city.

At noon we took a rest in a lounge, tired from the long hours in the car, went out to stretch our limbs, took a breath of fresh air, and fixed a meal in the small dining room nearby. The meal was ordinary, but the food was delicious and the eleven of us ate happily.

As we were getting in, Han Tieniu ran towards our car. He looked out and said, ”I'll sit here. Our car is too crowded.” Without waiting for the others to speak, he sat down next to the first senior brother.

We were too embarrassed to refuse, and he didn't mind. Han Tieniu and Senior Brother Ju chatted excitedly in the morning, but in the afternoon, I couldn't stand it anymore. I was sleepy, so Senior Sister told me to lie down and she sat down on a small stool.

”Hey, brother, what are you guys actually doing?” Han Tieniu rashly asked Ji Yi. ”Taoist, you didn't watch those Taoists on TV. Do you know Lin Zhengying?” When Han Tieniu heard this, he was very surprised. ”Aiyo, so everything inside was real. Then, have you guys filmed a movie before?”

I wanted to laugh, but in my heart, I thought that this guy looked to be very strong, but he didn't have many eyes. Senior brother Ju said with a serious expression, ”Of course not, there was once a great director came to me and invited me to make a movie. How could I have the time to be busy all day long? Sigh, Lin Zhengying was accepted by my master, so he left after learning for a while.”

Han Tieniu clicked his tongue in wonder. His master couldn't bear to watch any longer. ”Brother Han, don't listen to his nonsense. Our main responsibility this time is to help you complete the mission. Nothing else is important.” Han Tieniu and Brother Zu were chatting enthusiastically, truly an extrovert. While they were chatting, I fell asleep.

The dream that I had a long time ago replayed itself. This time, it was even more realistic, and the two Golden-winged Great Peng flew extremely fast in the clouds. One of them would occasionally let out a sharp cry, and from time to time, it would look back and forth, as if it was searching for something.

”Wake up, junior brother.” I was woken up by someone. Even though he had woken up, he was still in a daze. He couldn't recognize the person in front of him, and he forgot where he was.

I blankly sat up and stared at the person in front of me. I only reacted after a long time. ”Senior sister, where are we?” Senior Sister looked at me strangely and said, ”We're about to arrive. Junior Brother, why are you in a daze? Have you caught a cold?” At this moment, I was completely awake and my head felt dizzy. Senior sister said this as she reached out her hand to touch my head and muttered, ”I don't have a fever.”

I don't have a fever, but actually, I don't even know where the limits of my body are right now. Last time I fought with Master Chang in the dry well for an entire night and the next day, I didn't feel tired, but after sleeping just now, I couldn't stand up and get off the carriage. It was as if I had experienced a fierce battle and only recovered after half a day.

I said, ”It's fine, Senior Sister. Where are everyone?” The Senior Sister said, ”They're all outside. Don't worry, they're not ready to leave either.” I nodded my head and prepared to get off the car. After opening the car door, just as my foot stepped on it, my entire body suddenly fell to the ground. Senior sister rushed over to help me up.

Master, Senior Brother Wang and the members of Captain Wang's archaeological team were resting and chatting at the same place. I felt better after walking a few steps and didn't let Senior Sister support me, so Master wouldn't have to worry.

When Master saw me coming over, he threw me a bottle of water and said, ”Haozi, you've slept for several hours already. You should have had enough sleep. This guy, he's already snoring.”

I sat down and looked around me. It was about five o'clock and the sky was already dark. Although it wasn't cold, I couldn't wear simple clothes. There weren't any big buildings around. There was no road ahead, only an endless mountain forest.

The situation here is very steep, the car can't leave, so we can only walk step by step. But the people here are all strong and strong people, so it doesn't matter if we leave. Other than that old man and woman, I'm a little worried about them.

Who knew that the two of them weren't any worse off than other people? Especially that old man, he didn't seem clumsy at all when he carried a backpack that was as big as his, and he looked very relaxed.

I was quite familiar with this kind of terrain, and I didn't even have a goal. I didn't know if there would be any worth digging, so I moved closer to my Master and asked, ”Master, where are we going?” His Master said, ”Don't worry, Captain Wang said they have been preparing for this mission for seven or eight years. Although they have never been here before, they have studied this place 800 times on the computer.
