Chapter 172 Midnight Highway

After leaving a Burger King restaurant.

Lu Li first went to the convenience store on the street to buy some drinks, cigarettes, and chewing gum. Then, he went to the self-service gas station. He not only filled the car with fuel, but also took two barrels of gasoline for spare.

It's hard to imagine that ten hours ago, he was so devastated that he could only share his last cigarette with others and eat compressed biscuits to satisfy his hunger.

But now, the situation has improved a lot. If Lu Li is willing, he can even go to the most luxurious hotel in Kerui City to rest for a night, and recharge his energy before going on the road.

However, time waits for no one, he has to act as soon as possible, and arrive in Innsmouth State within twenty hours.

"Is there anything else you need to bring?"

"No, let's go."

After finishing speaking, Luo Xia took a long breath, quickly adjusted his mentality, and got into the car before Lu Li got into the driver's seat, for fear of being abandoned.

It wasn't that the Stockholm Syndrome had occurred and he became dependent on the robbers, but that Rorschach wanted to follow and see for himself what the real world was like.

As for sacrificing oneself and saving the world, this kind of topic is too heavy to make a hasty decision, and needs to be rethought carefully.

Ten o'clock sharp.

The Viper hits the interstate again.

The lights extend as far as the eye can see.

Probably since the second dungeon world, Lu Li has been addicted to cigarettes. However, he thinks he can control it, and only smokes a few packs under special circumstances.

For example, right now.

"Would you like one?"

After saying that, Lu Li held the steering wheel with one hand and handed the cigarette case to Luo Xia.

It is almost foreseeable that the next boring road trip, the two will throw countless cigarette butts through the car window in order to refresh themselves.

"After arriving in Innsmouth, what are your plans to find that mysterious town?"

I saw Rorschach spit out a smoke ring, took a deep breath, and then asked himself and answered: "I have a hunch that it won't appear on the map, otherwise, it would have been discovered by the outside world."

During the meal, Lu Li selectively introduced some information to him, so that this potential partner would not know anything and ran to give away the head.

[The town... is on the cover...]

This is one of the clues investigator Sam gave before losing himself.

And it's not that hard to find out the answer——

The times are advancing. You only need to collect all the books published by horror novelist Kane last year, tear off the covers one by one, and then check and compare them through computer programs to extract relevant lines and images, and you can get the answer you want .

Therefore, we have to find a way to contact the foundation and ask high-level people to help.

"The ancient evil god is really synonymous with trouble."

Lu Li flicked the cigarette ash, and stretched his other hand into his trouser pocket, ready to take out his phone.

This move made Rorschach instinctively rush over and hold the steering wheel.

Almost at the same time.

A small blue light was lit on the center console, and there was a beeping sound. Since the icon was in the shape of a mobile phone, Lu Li instantly recognized that it was a car phone, and turned his head to look at Rorschach, "I'm looking for you, take it."

"Brother, hold on to the steering wheel first."

Rorschach was not willing to let go until Lu Li put his hand on it to insure the giant steel beast that was traveling at a speed of 150 kilometers per hour.

Press the answer button at will.

What came out of the loudspeaker was an unfamiliar voice:

"Commissioner Lu, are you there?"

Luo Xia was stunned for a moment, feeling a little dazed: This is my new car, why did I find Commissioner Lu?

who is he?

Subconsciously, his eyes turned to the side, Luo Xia looked a little dull, and tentatively asked: "Looking for you?"

"should be."

Lu Li nodded, smoking a cigarette, and said, "I have something to talk about, I'm busy here."

In the central control room, the complexions of the high-level people changed. This is indeed the first time I have seen such an arrogant field staff. If I knew, the person I was talking to was the CEO of the foundation.

In fact, Lu Li had already guessed that the call was from the headquarters, but he didn't guess the identity correctly, and only regarded him as a person in charge.

"Innsmouth is in chaos, you know?"

"Of course, Sam Neal told me some inside information." Lu Li said succinctly, "Therefore, I must rush there as soon as possible to prevent the disaster from happening."

"Need to provide personnel support?"

"Human sea tactics are ineffective."

Hearing this, the CEO immediately said, "Well, what can I help you with?"

In fact, the top management of the Foundation already knew that Sart Kane's ability could not be explained by physical means, so not only did they not have any doubts or doubts about Lu Li, they even placed high hopes on him.

After all, if a dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor, no one would dare to pacify Innsmouth unless it is absolutely necessary.

"Helicopter, intelligence analysis."

As he said that, Lu Li glanced at the unarmed Rorschach beside him, and added, "A weapon supply box."

"no yet?"

"Um."

"The satellite has successfully located the Viper sports car you are riding on. The helicopter is on its way. Please continue driving south, it will rush to meet up."

The executive officer acted vigorously: "What intelligence needs to be analyzed."

"Did Kane release any horror novels last year?"

"A series of books entitled Hobbesian Terrible End."

"Collect all the covers, and there is a set of maps hidden inside." Lu Li threw away the cigarette butt, and held the steering wheel with both hands: "Attention, be sure to use the machine during the whole process, and avoid direct contact with people!"

"I will contact you as soon as the result comes out. In addition, please check the working machine, turn off the vibration and silent mode, and keep the communication unblocked."

The last sentence is quite resentful.

Immediately afterwards, the phone was hung up, and there was a dead silence in the car.

Lu Li silently took out his phone——

Missed calls: 5

Unreceived text messages: 7

"Will there be a special plane to pick you up?"

On the side, Luo Xia had an inexplicable expression, because there was not much time left for him to hesitate.

"That's right, you have to make a decision quickly." Lu Li stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and after accelerating to the limit, bright flames spit out from the nozzle.

Since there is a special plane to pick it up, there is no need to consider energy saving and vehicle loss, and the NOS cylinder is used directly, and the nitrogen acceleration system squeezes out the full potential of the sports car engine.

In the darkness, the Viper roared.

morning hours.

The two arrived at the border of Ice Phoenix State, and the nearly two-hour drive went extremely smoothly.

Luo Xia, who was gradually accepting the facts, felt that with Lu Li, the god of death, in charge, any weird incidents on the road were not a problem at all.

Until...the radio that was playing rock music failed, and the loud electric sound rang.

"It's impossible for a new car to have this kind of failure."

Luo Xia's face was full of disbelief. He firmly believed that no one would dare to tamper with his new car, unless the other party didn't want to mess around in Ice Phoenix State.

"Um!"

This time, Lu Li finally stepped on the brakes. He had already noticed that there was a cloud of icy fog around him, the visibility was getting lower and lower, and the scene was getting more and more strange.

Drunk too much, dizzy, no class tomorrow, make up at midnight, sorry, I really didn't mean it...
