Data Wasteland

In the morning two days later, Chen Xing drove a sand truck, filled with supplies and fuel, to Lanhua Town to pick up Aaliyah, preparing to head to the Black Dead Forest.

"Hi~"

Aaliyah stood at the door of the gun store and waved to him. Today, she is wearing a dark red tight-fitting leather jacket, a dark blue canvas jacket, two strings of red big shell bullets and a combat shotgun on her back, pigtails, a capable posture and vigorous energy.

Looking at the shotgun behind her, Chen Xing couldn't help muttering in his heart, he clearly had such a terrifying strength, and he was still wearing a gun. What was he thinking?

Also, with the strength she showed that day, she didn't need to bring his oil bottle at all. Wouldn't it be possible to ask him to cheer beside him?

In fact, for the past two days, he has been thinking about this problem, but he couldn't understand how the other party called his purpose. However, he soon understood...

A few hours later, the dune buggy drove into the depths of the wilderness. The surrounding scenery gradually turned into a bare stone mountain. The ground is rugged, with gravel everywhere.

"Why are there stones everywhere here?" Aaliyah was made uncomfortable by the bumpy road, and complained with some dissatisfaction, "Can't you take another road?"

This sentence exposed the problem.

"You have never been to the Black Dead Forest!" Chen Xing said in horror.

The Black Dead Forest is located in the northernmost part of the Red Earth Continent. It must be reached through a large mountainous area. There is no second way to go. Aaliyah asks that, it means she has never been.

"Otherwise, why call you?" Aaliyah said disapprovingly. The casual and indifferent look made Chen Xing's teeth hurt. I wanted to learn some experience, but I didn't expect to be better than him.

Without waiting for Chen Xing to speak, Aaliyah threatened again, "It's the first time I've traveled far away, so don't take the wrong path, otherwise you will look good."

Without saying anything, Chen Xing slammed on the brakes, then made a sharp turn, turned around and walked back.

Are you kidding me? It's almost the same as dying in this situation. Although he had never been to the Black Dead Forest, he had also heard of the terrible things there. A single mistake can destroy a mercenary group of hundreds of people, where can you break through it casually?

"Don't leave!" Aaliyah hurriedly grabbed Chen Xing's arm and shouted.

"I have no time to be crazy with you!" Chen Xing shook off her hand and said in a deep voice.

"I'm going to kill you!" Aaliyah gritted her teeth and said.

"It's all dead anyway, whatever!" Chen Xing was unmoved.

"Wait, wait~" Seeing that he didn't eat hard, Alia had no choice but to come soft.

"If you want to die, go by yourself, don't bring me." Chen Xing said irritably. He has made up his mind and will not go anyway.

"It's good~" Aaliyah winked at him and said seductively.

In order to avoid getting too stiff, Chen Xing breathed a little longer and persuaded, "Big sister, you have to have a life to make money."

"There are some things that money can't buy..." Aaliyah hinted.

"Oh?" Chen Xing tilted his head and glanced at Aaliyah's neckline. The tone is frivolous and mocking. However, it is not that he is really lustful, but that he wants to use this to humiliate the other party, "What else do you have besides this?" Of course, he would not say this sentence, so as not to cause the other party to overreact.

Aaliyah glanced at him with contempt in her eyes. While covering her neckline, she leaned forward and asked in a stretched voice, "Have you heard of..." She paused, and emphasized, "Is the world fragmented?" ?"

"World Fragment?" Chen Xing repeated, subconsciously letting go of the accelerator.

The dune buggy stopped slowly.

The world fragment that Aaliyah said refers to a special kind of alien space. To explain this, we must start with the cataclysm.

According to the research of scholars, the cataclysm is caused by the "temporal turbulence".

In the multiverse, every minute and every second, countless worlds will be destroyed and reborn. And whenever the world is destroyed, the energy released, as well as the debris of the old world, will form a torrent, flooding into the endless void, until it eventually perishes. When multiple torrents converge and are filled with a large amount of space debris and chaotic energy, it is called "temporal and spatial turbulence."

This world has been hit by the turbulence of time and space. A large number of alien creatures came here hiding in the fragments of the old world.

But crisis also represents opportunity. In addition to evil and cruel aliens, there are many technologies, treasures, humanoids, etc. from other civilizations. For example, the upper-class nobles like to collect, or raise a kind of humanoid called "high elves". They are handsome in appearance, men and women, and they don't age. They simply exist for diarrhea.

For another example, the "ten sacred objects" collected by the Malan royal family were discovered in space debris.

"Where is the news?" Chen Xing asked solemnly.

"Didn't you mean..." Aaliyah asked with a smile, "Snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths?"

"If you don't tell me, I won't go." Chen Xing threatened.

"Some time ago, there was a passing traveler. After shopping, I wanted to drag me to the back alley, so..." At this point, Aaliyah stopped and cast a wink at him. Show a "you know" face.

Although her smile was sweet and beautiful, Chen Xing only felt a chill on her back and swish cold sweat.

Then, Aaliyah took out a small map from her pocket and handed it to Chen Xing.

When you opened it, it was a piece cut from a big map, only the size of a palm, and a circle was drawn in the middle with a blue ink pen.

Automobile Valley.

This is the name the traveler gave to the place.

"Is there any other information?" Chen Xing asked.

Aaliyah shrugged and said, "I found it while cleaning up the relic."

"Good job." Chen Xing praised. Of course, this is ironic. Since it is a "relic", it means that the person involved is dead, and the body can't speak, so there are so many clues.

"This is what I found on him..." As he said, Aaliyah took out a small item and handed it to Chen Xing.

It was a silver metal disc, the size of a coin, with four small holes in the middle. It turned out to be a button, a button for clothes.

Under the sun, the surface of the button gleamed like mercury.

"Mithril!" Chen Xing recognized it and cried out.

"You take me there, and one-fifth of the income will be given to you." Aaliyah said.

"Just..." Chen Xinggang wanted to bargain, a thought suddenly struck his mind, swallowing the next words abruptly, and then nodded and said, "Deal." Then he turned around and headed north.

"Come on and make money together~" Aaliyah patted Chen Xing's shoulder with satisfaction, then raised her feet, put her boots on the car door, and closed her eyes to rest.

Chen Xing agreed on the surface, but thought in his heart, how to find opportunities to sneak. The reason is very simple. In case of any treasure, I am afraid that the other party will not save his life.

Although it now seems that the two get along very harmoniously. But in fact, there is no friendship and reason between the strong and the weak. Once the benefits outweigh the coexistence of the two, the strong will immediately kill the weak.

Chen Xing suddenly regretted it a little, he shouldn't provoke Aaliyah. From the beginning, he should stay away from this demon girl, because the strength of the two sides is too far apart. Cooperating is tantamount to carrying a time/bomb on your back, exploding yourself to death at any time.

But this is the end of the matter, and we can only take one step at a time. From the moment Aaliyah revealed the secret, there was no room for turning back.
