Chapter 238

Impatiently grabbed the soda on top of her head, pulled the ring with a "hiss" sound, and replenished the water.

The air conditioner in the car, combined with the still cold soda, is simply the best combination.

"But we have been meeting for such a long time, why don't you introduce yourself?"

While the girl was drinking soda, Lin Qiao took a quick look at her.

She seemed to be a mixed-race of Eastern and Western people, and looked about 14 or 15 years old, but considering that Westerners generally develop faster, her actual age may be a little younger... right?

The back of her head, which could not be completely covered by white hair, revealed a mechanical part, which seemed to have some kind of prosthesis implanted.

"....Lucy, what about you?"

"Ishimori Qiao, if it's too much trouble, you can call me K, please give me more advice~"

Without hesitation, she reported the pseudonym she used in the Tokyo Ghoul World, and added the abbreviation of killbus.

Because this world is a PVP mode, it is better not to reveal your real name before figuring out the other party's ability.

This way, at least those abilities activated through names can be avoided.

He didn't want to be tricked without even seeing his opponent.

"Speaking of which, aren't your parents worried about you coming out alone?"

"....."

After a while of silence, Lucy was a little depressed. She put down the can of soda in her hand and looked out the window.

"... Don't worry, they won't."

"Really?"

"That's it..."

She supported her head with one hand and held the steering wheel with the other.

Lin Qiao glanced at her with her peripheral vision.

It seems that she is not a rebellious girl who ran away from home because of a conflict with her family.

"Then what? Although it's okay to give you a ride, you have to tell me where you are going."

".. Where exactly..." She lowered her head and pondered for a while, but did not respond.

To be honest, she herself has not decided on the answer to this question.

Due to personal reasons, she is not used to living in a city for a long time. She often stays for a while and then sets off to the next place.

The reason why she was on the unmanned bus before was not because she had determined the destination, but simply hacked into it with her hacking ability, and then simply wanted to escape from the original city.

In other words, she actually "smuggled" in.

"By the way, where are you going?" Instead of answering, Lucy threw the question back to Lin Qiao.

"Night City."

"Night City?"

"Yes, Night City, the City of Dreams... Are you interested?" The originally exaggerated voice suddenly returned to normal, and Lin Qiao noticed that Lucy's eyes seemed to flash with some light.

"A little bit."

"Then I advise you to give up, that place is not suitable for you."

"Why? Isn't it the City of Dreams?"

"Yes, but whether it can be realized is another matter... and there are many people whose dreams are shattered on the contrary."

Clearing his throat, Lin Qiao said in a scam trailer tone.

"In 2077, the city where I live was rated as the worst area in the United States. Why? Violent crimes are rampant, the number of people living below the poverty line is the highest in the United States, and companies are harvesting civilians as leeks - I think you should understand what I mean."

"...It sounds like a really bad place."

High-rise buildings and neat streets were replaced by dirty slums and gang fights.

The original fantasy of the high-sounding name "Dream City" was shattered in an instant.

But followed by another question -

"Why do you want to go to such a place?"

Just by listening to the description, you can imagine that the place is a chaotic place.

Not to mention settling there, it is estimated that just going there will take a lot of risks.

"Well, this is a little bit of my own fault... But let's get back to the point. Where do you want to go?"

"....."

"....."

"....Night City,"

"Wow, you gave the same answer as me." Lin Qiao turned her head and looked at Lucy after feeling a little surprised.

"I won't say anything extra, but have you really thought about it? That's not a civilized city. If a hundred people go there, it's lucky that half of them can survive the next year - even so, do you still want to go?"

"....Yeah..."

As if she had made some kind of heavy decision, she nodded heavily.

Indeed, it's not a good place. Just by listening to it, you know that it's a place full of gunfire and freedom everywhere.

But that kind of chaotic place means danger, but it also means that it's easy to hide your identity - and this is the most important thing for Lucy.

Chapter 292 About the Moon

Because it took a lot of time to go to the camp of the Random Swordsman to collect supplies.

In addition, the road conditions in the desert made the road worse. With a lot of cargo, it was easy for the tires to slip. For safety reasons, Lin Qiao did not drive too fast.

So until the sun was about to set, the two did not leave the state.

..... Of course, it is undeniable that part of the reason was that he did not know the road.

After all, it was his first time here, and the planetary information he had explored did not include man-made roads, so he could only grope his way in the general direction of Night City....

But fortunately, Lucy had the help of her invincible hacking ability-she turned on the car navigation.

It was outrageous that the car navigation had a password!

And the hacker whose memory he had read did not know what the password was.

After walking for a while, it was completely dark.

However, this was not a problem for Lin Qiao, and the risks of driving at night that many drivers were concerned about were also not there.

But considering that there was a normal person in the car, he still planned to stop and rest for a night.

Parked the car on the side of the road.

The sand blown by the wind fell on the car body and made a slight sound.

"There is neither a thrilling chase nor a spiritual salvation and moral sublimation. The so-called road trip is really boring..."

The complaints made Lucy, who was eating a fast food burrito, roll her eyes at him.

Can't this guy say less unlucky things?

She was still frightened by the attack by the Luan Dao Society during the day.

She turned her head and looked out the window, trying to find the danger hidden in the darkness. The Lexington pistol beside her was ready at any time...

But she could only see the plants not far away, which were swaying in the wind.

It seems... everything is normal?

That's great.

After drinking two sips of water and the salty taste in her mouth, she threw the finished packaging bag out of the car.

The cold wind blowing in from outside the car made Lucy wrap herself tightly in the quilt.

Because it is a desert climate, the temperature difference between day and night here can be said to be quite large.

The temperature during the day was still 40 degrees, and it dropped below 20 degrees after the sun set... and it might actually feel even colder.

"Hu..."

The attack by the Luan Dao Society during the day and the fatigue brought by the bumpy road made Lucy, who was full and relaxed, yawn tiredly.

Lying sideways on the back seat of the car, Lin Qiao in front seemed to be worried about fuel.

But like quite a few people.

Although she was so sleepy that her eyelids were trembling, she couldn't fall asleep after lying down.

At this time, Lucy was obviously also in this delicate state, and all kinds of strange thoughts came out of her mind involuntarily.

"-During the day, I shot you, right?"

"It's too late to apologize now." Having said that, Lin Qiao didn't care much.

It's a water gun, what's there to care about?

".... No, I'm just a little curious. You obviously don't have a prosthesis installed, how did you manage not to get hurt...?"

"That's because your shooting skills are so bad. You can't hit people even at such a close distance."

"....."

Is her shooting skills so bad?

Recalling the scene during the day... I did aim at Lin Qiao's face.

Could it be that it was because I stayed in the sealed luggage rack for too long, and I was too nervous when I was discovered, and my eyes were not used to the sudden light?

Although this explanation is also feasible, I always feel that something is wrong...

Forget it, let it be like this.

I didn't pay too much attention to these, turned over and changed to a comfortable position.

A thin layer of fine sand made the scenery outside the car window foggy, like a dream.

The howling wind outside made people feel at ease.

After being away from the pollution brought by the city and industry, the stars in the sky became clearer, and the moon also looked particularly bright, like a pearl in the night.

This is a scene that cannot be seen in the city.

Looking through the windshield covered with a layer of dust, the brightest thing in the night sky seemed to occupy Lucy's eyes.

"Hey, Qiao, what's it like on the moon?"

Lin Qiao sighed: "Are you a curious baby who likes to ask questions before going to bed?"

There was a little helplessness in her words, and she put down the phone that she was going to use to kill the boring time at night.

After thinking about the experience of trying the moon in the last world, she answered: "The overall environment is similar to the Gobi Desert where we are now, but it is light gray, a little hot during the day, and very cold at night, with a temperature difference of about 310 degrees."

"There are neither Chang'e and Princess Kaguya, nor aliens, nor Sandezi who escaped to the back of the moon after World War II, only craters caused by meteorite impacts."

"It is worth mentioning that the gravity on it is only one-sixth of that on the earth, so if you jump with all your strength, you can jump very high, but it is easy to stay in that low-gravity environment for a long time..."

"Zzzzzzz..."

Just like most children can't help but fall asleep when listening to a long speech.

The even breathing sound coming from behind shows that he has fallen asleep.

Lin Qiao couldn't help but sigh: "Young people have good sleep quality."
