Chapter 1267 Let’s Start Again
Zhang Heng did not wake up on time at 0:00 Beijing time, which was not good news for him.
Because this means that his time-stopping ability may not be fully effective against the thing in the city under the ice, and this discovery will undoubtedly affect his next plan.
Zhang Heng wanted to visit the city under the ice, but of course he was not convinced. Whether it was the story told by Sachus or Nyarlathotep's warning, both of them showed that there was something there. How dangerous.
Zhang Heng's biggest reliance was his ability to stop time. In his original plan, he planned to find the city under the ice first, and then wait until the extra 24 hours arrived before going down. After entering, he would investigate around and leave quietly. , or find a way to deal with the huge figure in the palace depends on the specific situation at that time.
But now he may need to rethink this trip to the ice field.
In addition, he had a nightmare on his first night in Greenland, which was probably not a good sign. Zhang Heng had already met Dr. Baker and Sachs, both of whom had participated in the scientific expedition 18 years ago. , and they began to be troubled by nightmares while searching for the city under the ice.
After returning, the situation not only did not improve, but became even worse. Even though both of them lived in seclusion, tried their best to avoid contact with the outside world, and stopped investigating, they still became increasingly haggard and eventually died and went crazy.
Zhang Heng is now beginning to understand some of the torture the two of them have suffered over the years. It was clear that he had been asleep for more than ten hours just now, but Zhang Heng did not feel that his mental and physical strength had recovered much. , almost the same as before going to bed, and I was sweating all over.
This is because his emotions are almost gone. Otherwise, just the doomsday-like scene in his dream would be enough to put heavy pressure on his spirit.
After Zhang Heng got up, he went to the bathroom and took a shower to wash away the sweat that stuck to his body. Then he got dressed, returned to the bedroom, picked up his phone, and saw a dozen missed calls and about two dozen more. Ten new pieces of information, all from Songjia.
Because he slept for an extra long time, the translator was probably worried that something had happened to him. Zhang Heng looked at the recent unread messages and found that it was indeed the case, and it seemed that Songjia had come to see him. He knocked on the door once, but no one opened the door. Then the translator ran to Alessia and Ole for help.
After reading all the messages, Zhang Heng put down his phone and went to the nearby convenience store to buy some food. After eating, he got some sleep. This time, in the 24 hours that belonged to him, he was finally no longer disturbed by nightmares. He did.
Then Zhang Heng opened the laptop he was carrying and began to sort out the information collected during this trip to Greenland. He put a check mark behind the confirmed information, put a question mark after the doubtful information, and then verified each other...
Unknowingly, he had filled up half of his notebook and heard the sound of the doorbell coming from downstairs, and there were more than one. In fact, during these two minutes, the doorbell almost never stopped ringing, one after another. It seemed very urgent.
Zhang Heng stuffed the notebook into his travel bag, then went downstairs and opened the door.
As a result, they saw Songjia, Alessia and Ole standing outside the door. Ole had a bandage on his body and was still holding the baseball bat in his hand, while Alessia inserted one hand into her body. In pocket, looking alert.
Zhang Heng opened the door, and Aleshia almost subconsciously pulled out a pistol from her pocket. When she saw that the person in front of her was Zhang Heng, she breathed a sigh of relief and put the gun back.
"I called you several times and sent you many messages, but you didn't reply. I thought something had happened to you. I was so anxious that I almost called the police, but Alessia stopped me. "The translator said.
"Oh, I just woke up and saw my phone." Zhang Heng replied, turning sideways to let the three of them enter the room.
"Alessia and Ole contacted me and said that they were preparing to set off and took Sachus back to the tribe. They asked if you want to go with them." Songjia said.
Zhang Heng had indeed promised to lend the already crazy Satchus to the two Inuit for a period of time, but it was only for three days, so Alessia and Ole could not wait to take Satchus back. tribe, they also hope to get news about the lost holy objects from Sarchus.
"Have the matters at the Art Museum been dealt with?" Zhang Heng asked. Last night he created more than thirty corpses there in one go. In addition, many precious exhibits were destroyed during the fight. Today the Art Museum wants It is impossible to open the business normally, and Zhang Heng does not want to attract the attention of the police and get into unnecessary trouble, so two local snakes, Alessia and Ole, are needed to deal with this problem.
Of course, they were just young people after all. It was probably their first time seeing blood that night, and they definitely had little experience. Fortunately, they had their own tribes behind them, and the two of them lived up to Zhang Heng's expectations for them, and contacted them overnight. The elders of the tribe told them what happened in the art museum.
After urgent discussions, the two tribes sent a team of people to take over the follow-up aftermath.
So after taking care of their injuries, Alessia and Ole were able to rush back to the tribe immediately to find Alessia's teacher Kunayu.
Alessia said, "I also told the teacher that you arrived in time to save us last night. She very much welcomes you to visit our tribe, and if you really plan to go to the city under the ice later, we will I can provide you with the best guide in the tribe. With him, you will never have to worry about getting lost on the ice field."
After Songjia translated Alessia's words, Zhang Heng also said, "I am very grateful to your teacher for your kindness, but there is no need for a guide. You have also heard the story told by Sachus. You should know that the closer you get to the ice... The lower the city, the easier it is for the minds of ordinary people to be affected, and this effect is likely to be lifelong and will become more and more serious as time goes by, so it is enough for me alone. In addition, I have not yet Make plans for the adventure.”
"It doesn't matter, you can come to us if you need anything, not just Alessia's tribe, but also my tribe." Ole also patted his chest and said, "When my injury is healed, I can also come to you. Let’s go together, we have been looking for that evil spirit for a long time.”
Zhang Heng knew that his warning might not have any effect. Even if you hear some things without personal experience, it is difficult to have a clear understanding, so Zhang Heng did not say anything more and turned to look at Song Jia aside, "Please help me again." Let me be a translator for a few days, and I can pay you five times your salary."
After leaving the bar last night, Zhang Heng also discussed the salary issue with Songjia. However, the translator at that time had been replaced by Nyarlathotep, so the previous agreement could no longer count. Zhang Heng had to Talk to Songjia again.
The translator looked a little hesitant. After all, no one wanted to be involved after what happened last night. However, Songjia also knew that if she left the burden here, Zhang Heng would not be able to find a suitable new translator for a while. So I finally decided to finish this last shift and go to Aleshiya's tribe with Zhang Heng.
