"I won't eat this kind of garbage! I want to eat meat!" Soult stared like a wild beast, trying to bite off Martin's fingers.
"Hey, this little thing is really interesting!" Martin was roasting meat on the fire and teasing the captive with compressed biscuits. He ate the meat with big mouthfuls, his eyes full of curiosity.
As a standard rough guy, Martin couldn't believe that this seemingly unspectacular kid could actually run as fast as a galloping horse.
One thing they are similar to each other is that they don't know what the speed of sound is, what a sound barrier is, or what an air wall is.
Soult still doesn't know why he was defeated. He thinks that the reason why he was captured is because there is something wrong with his ability.
Martin, on the other hand, simply thought they were bragging. Who could run faster than the wind?
Then, Soult entered bullet time. Although he couldn't break free from the restraint rings and straps on his body, he could at least bite him on his fingers at a speed beyond Martin's imagination.
"Ouch! Damn it!" Martin looked at his bloody fingers and a chunk of barbecue missing, with an expression as if he had seen a rabbit become a sperm.
"You'd better not move around. The bone condensin I gave you hasn't worked yet. Be careful if you break a bone while accelerating. You will die very quickly, too fast for me to find out the problem." Anthony sat down.
Not far away, a military kettle was used to boil coffee.
Because of the loss of the first car, they had to streamline the space, throw away some supplies and materials, and cram everyone into two cars.
Ethan was still looking sick. Unfortunately, the first thing to be thrown away was the medicine he relied on. Anthony checked his status, affirmed his efforts during this period, and officially announced that he could
Entered a state of complete withdrawal.
The drone master expressed great dissatisfaction with this, but eventually stopped because Anthony placed Soult next door.
Out of fear of Sirte, Ethan had no time to think about drug addiction. The beast-like boy had been looking for opportunities to resist since he woke up.
Several times, before Ethan could even see clearly what was going on, the prisoner broke free from the restraints, sat up with teeth and claws, and then his whole body twitched and was knocked back to his original shape by the electric current.
The most dangerous time was when Surte even untied the restraint ring on his wrist in bullet time. Ethan was almost frightened to death when he saw it. Fortunately, he activated the electric current in time.
"Eat something, don't keep thinking about your medicines, they are not good for you." Saint sat next to Ethan. He had nothing to do on the road and was collecting Ethan's drone control technology.
Learning is his biggest hobby besides faith. Saint learns everything very quickly. He can even fight Tang Ji one-on-one with his self-taught fighting skills through TV and movies.
And his shooting skills are also good. In less than two years since he picked up a gun, he has surpassed the average level of gang shooters in his parish. The corpses buried behind the church can prove it.
After meeting the shadow, the saint became an entry-level sniper just through observation. Although not as stable as the shadow, the last shot that hit the flying missile was definitely a shot full of spirituality.
"You are my prisoner now." Tang Ji kicked Surte: "I should have killed you."
"You really should kill me, otherwise I will kill you one by one when I seize the opportunity." Surte raised his head angrily and retorted: "You will regret it!"
"I don't kill children." Tang Ji patted Sirte's head: "But I will punish you and eat your dinner. This is your only food in the next three days."
For these people who grew up in the wilderness, hunger is the biggest fear. Tang Ji knows what kind of life the new-age nomads live outside the city.
The reason why organizations like the Chaos Knife are widely distributed in the wilderness of the Federation is because joining the Chaos Knife can at least make a living, and they can always find ways to find some leftovers from the city.
Soult looked at Tangji fiercely and ate the compressed food that Martin handed over to him in one bite. Like a starving man, he ate enough to feed two adults in three bites.
Tang Ji didn't know what kind of fate he had with this boy in the futures seen by the prophet, and how they met. But in the real world, the reason why he was open to him was just because the other boy was still a child.
.
When Anthony was treating Soult's injuries, he found a dirty stuffed bear on his body, with one of its ears worn off.
That thing reminded Tang Ji of the doll he gave to Tang Anran. If so many accidents hadn't happened, he would have died on the night when he first met the player.
When Tang Anran grows up and reaches Sirte's age, what will he encounter?
Tang Ji didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't want to think about it. For a long time, he couldn't really get out of the shadow of Angelina's death and had been wandering on the edge of self-destruction.
And Tang Anran was the only rope holding him and preventing him from falling into the abyss.
With the emergence of players and pessimism about the future, Tang Ji climbed back tenaciously along this rope, and even started a personal action similar to a mantis trying to use his arms as a cart.
Tang Ji looked at Surta and guessed how old he was. Fourteen? Or fifteen? Maybe even Surta himself didn't know.
In fact, Surte couldn't even remember what his parents looked like. His childhood memories had become blurry. He only remembered that his father left home one day and never came back, and his mother died of illness not long after.
Already.
Soult was brought back as a young soldier by the Skull and Bones Party. They raised a lot of such orphans. It was easier for children to do a lot of reconnaissance work, making it less likely to arouse the vigilance of the target.
Tang Ji tied Surte back to the bed. This thing was originally used to prevent Ethan from hurting himself when he had a silver attack, but now it was just right to restrain Surte.
Surte struggled hard and even turned on bullet time again, but the current from the restraint ring completely negated his efforts. He needed absolute concentration to enter bullet time.
Tangji put the little bear next to Sirte's ear and fixed it with him with a strap: "Hunger is not terrible, losing hope is. I will allow you to return to the table after three days, but if you get hurt again next time
People, this time will increase by one hour."
"Believe me, after you finish digesting the contents of your stomach, after thirty hours of fasting, even an hour will make you feel as slow as a lifetime." Tang Ji pushed Surte's hospital bed forward.
In the carriage: "So, next time you eat, remember to be polite."
Maybe Tang Ji's threat had an effect, maybe the little bear had an effect, maybe it was to maintain his strength, but in short, Surte chose to remain silent and did not continue to struggle in vain.

...
The sun is shining brightly in Baja California in October. The coastal road has the sea on the left and the desert on the right. The yellow and blue colors are divided into two parts by the black Route 52.
This road has been hailed as the most beautiful road in the Federation for twelve consecutive years, attracting a large number of self-driving tourists from all over the world to experience the beautiful scenery.
It is worth mentioning that in the coastal area of Baja California, 80% of the coastline with beaches and beautiful scenery open to the public belongs to the Baja California United Scenic Area Group.
This company has been working hard to develop new freshwater resources outside the freshwater areas of the Great Lakes in recent years. It has a very large-scale desalination project and supplies one-third of the water resources in the western part of the federation.
Its subsidiaries control Baja California's fishery, marine plantation, marine mining, offshore wind energy and other businesses.
Correspondingly, United View Group also has a sizable armed fleet, including 17 large surface ships and six submarines.
They even considered purchasing aircraft carriers from Military Technology Group, but ultimately abandoned the plan due to maintenance costs.
Of course, as an alternative plan, they rented an aircraft carrier named Queen Diana from the Military Technology Group as a supplement to their force.
This 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is currently berthed at the Military Technology Hawaii homeport, with 22 lease contracts attached to it.
Whichever company needs it, it hangs its flag and goes around. Most of the time, even pilots need to be dispatched, and the problem is solved. Excluding maintenance costs, it can generate nearly three billion federal coins every year.
It is worth mentioning that all companies that rent the Queen Diana have business conflicts with military technology, but this does not affect their business cooperation.
Since Military Technology gained sovereignty over Hawaii in the Second Corporate War, the company's development focus has gradually shifted from air force technology to navy technology.
When Tang Ji and his party were traveling on Route 52, the Queen Diana was cruising not far away, and a silver-white plane roared past the head of the convoy.
Ethan leaned out, looked at the traces left by the plane in the sky and whistled: "F-48, this thing costs 7.5 billion federal coins, which is worth more than the same volume of gold!"
"This is the future, head. What can those superhumans do against weapons of this level? Mach 3.9, beyond visual range strike, integrated air and space networking, vertical take-off and landing, and energy pack replacement in the air. In addition to not being able to help you give birth to a child, it
You can do anything!" Ethan's pale face showed a trace of flushing, and his eyes couldn't look away from the direction of the plane's departure.
Tang Ji was not as excited as he was, because he knew from the prophet that in the future, the young man behind his car would be able to run at a speed of Mach 3.2 with his physical body.
Compared with a target as big as the F-48, Sirte is invisible to most humans. He cannot be detected by radar and cannot be locked by missiles.
When he attacks a certain party, it is a real asymmetric attack.
And such a character, in the future, will be nothing more than a 'general', with new gods at the level of the Seven Deadly Sins above him.
What's more, in the real world, players have captured three of the Seven Deadly Sins and at least mastered the core abilities of greed and gluttony.
What will happen in the future? The streets are full of Seven Deadly Sin level players. They can treat the F-48 and the 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier as small biscuits, which taste crunchy.
"Maybe." Tang Ji also stared at the steel giant parked on the beach. Things like aircraft carriers can give people a sense of intimidation. Many tourists parked their cars on the roadside. With Diana
Video shot with the Princess in the background.
Moreover, what is Military Technology doing by placing its aircraft carrier here? Tang Ji looked puzzled at the flag flying on the aircraft carrier. It was a flag belonging to the Military Technology Group, with half a muzzle and being sprayed printed on it.
of bullets.
"Is there any new news, Aaliya?" Tang Ji answered Aaliya's phone. He finally arrived in Baja California, but how to find the information about the Ice and Snow Princess still depends on the efforts of the team behind the scenes.
"Sorry, Tang, I haven't found any more useful information. I've discovered the existence of the ghost you mentioned before that exists on the Internet." Aaliya on the screen is no longer as refined as the last time we met.
, she was wearing a fluffy knitted sweater, her messy hair was pinned with a pen, and at hand was either a keyboard or a notebook filled with symbols, and her whole person exuded the word fatigue.
"Be careful, I only know you as a hacker." Tang Ji smiled. After confirming that Alia had the ability to compete with players on the Internet, Tang Ji felt more excited than if he had killed another player: "If there is
Time, help me find out online why the Princess Diana is here."
"Okay! I understand, and don't worry, don't forget how I grew up and I can protect myself." Aaliya stuck out her tongue: "If I find something wrong, I can run faster than anyone else.
!”
"That's good, rest more. We still have time. If the kidnappers wanted to kill the Ice and Snow Princess, they would have done it long ago." Tang Ji has been analyzing this case on the road. Now they can at least confirm that the kidnapper of the Ice and Snow Princess is not the one who kidnapped the Ice and Snow Princess.
The gangs that often commit crimes.
They're not in it for the money, or at least not the ransom money.
Aaliya breathed a sigh of relief, sent all the information she had collected recently to Tang Ji, waved her hand and went offline.
Tang Ji followed the navigation and drove the car all the way to the location where the Ice and Snow Princess last disappeared, the Sunshine Hotel, which is a four-star hotel.
In this tourist area where land is at a premium, it is considered to be of high quality and low price. The rooms are always full, and the parking lot is already full of tourists' cars.
Trucks like Tang Ji’s are a bit conspicuous here, and few tourists will drive such a vehicle to travel.
Fortunately, Tang Ji and the others did not intend to stay here. They just walked around the Sunshine Hotel and then left, heading to a pre-booked accommodation a few kilometers away.
...
...
"Welcome to the Detective's House!" In a small hotel far away from the coast and beaches, more than ten kilometers deep into the desert, an old man wearing a beach shirt, sun hat and sunglasses warmly greeted Tang Ji and his group.
His tone was as enthusiastic as seeing a fat sheep, which was indeed the case. He rented his hotel to the other party at three times the market price.
