My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

Normally, how could Sun Pingkuan remain calm in this situation? He should at least have some headaches or hallucinations. But he didn't.

He remained unusually calm from beginning to end.

This extreme tearing sensation makes people feel very strange, like a crazy monster imprisoned in a cold body.

What surprised Zhang Hao even more was that when Sun Pingkuan joined the Natural Resources Bureau, even if he was only in his teens, he should be in his forties now.

But his face still looked the same as when he was a teenager. Apart from being too thin, there was no sign of aging.

There are no nasolabial folds, no wrinkles, no gray hair, and those black eyes have not become cloudy with age.

"Mr. Sun, how are you?"

Zhang Hao tried to say hello, but Sun Pingkuan didn't respond and continued to stare at the clouds outside the window.

Zhang Hao took out the diary and said, "Mr. Sun, is this your diary?"

Still no response.

"They're calling me... Who's calling you?"

He originally wanted to read out a complete diary entry, but he was afraid that without understanding Sun Pingkuan's condition, reading it all would cause him too much shock, so he could only pick out some important clues.

Sure enough, as soon as this sentence was uttered, Sun Pingkuan had some reaction.

He tilted his head slightly, but only slightly, and continued to stare at the sky.

Zhang Hao also followed him and turned his gaze to the window.

The window was old-fashioned, the glass had turned yellow and dim, and the dust accumulated in the four corners had obscured the glass, leaving only a small transparent patch in the middle.

With the railing blocking the view, there is very little sky to be seen, almost none at all.

"You're waiting for that cloud, aren't you?"

Zhang Hao suddenly said.

This time, Sun Pingkuan finally turned his attention to Zhang Hao.

His dead gaze remained calm, like... like a bottomless lake.

There seems to be a ferocious beast hidden in this lake, but for some reason, the beast chooses to remain silent.

What is it waiting for?
Could it be that cloud?
Zhang Hao took out two photos from his bag.

These two photos were randomly selected by him when he came. They were taken by Sun Pingkuan during his time at the Natural Resources Bureau.

In the color photo, the shape of the white clouds is clearly visible, like a triangular pyramid, or like two pointed cones put together.

Sun Pingkuan slowly stretched out his hand, trying to touch the photo, but Zhang Hao suddenly pulled his hand back just before he touched the photo.

"If you want to see it, just talk to me."

"……say what?"

He finally spoke!

Maybe because he hadn't spoken for a long time, his tongue was a little tied and his voice was hoarse. But it was great to get a response!

"who are you?"

"Old Zhang." Hao Xie frowned.

What does Zhang Hao mean by asking this question?
Don’t they already know this person’s identity?

But the next moment, Sun Pingkuan's answer made Hao Xie's depression reach its peak!
"I... who am I... I don't have a name, I am... one of the companions."

companion?

One member?
Who were his companions? Who made him like this?
Doesn’t he know that his name is Sun Pingkuan?

But Zhang Hao was not too surprised.

When he read the diary, he vaguely realized that Sun Pingkuan might have been "assimilated".

Assimilated by what?
At the moment, it may be some kind of group consciousness.

This group has the ability to think independently, but this "independence" is based on group consciousness. They have the same consciousness as the leader of the group.

They no longer see themselves as human beings, but as members of a tribe.

Like the wild beasts of the wilderness, they do not consider themselves human, but they possess wisdom…

"Where is your companion?"

"exist……"

A hint of other emotions finally appeared in Sun Pingkuan's eyes.

It was confusion and hesitation, but there was no fear, only yearning.

"They are in... the Polar Tower."

He spoke the answer word by word in a mechanical voice.

Zhang Hao almost immediately determined that this was not an answer he had come up with.

It is a "preset answer" locked deep in memory. Once someone asks this question, this pre-set answer will be spoken automatically.

"It's the Polar Tower again. How on earth can we find that place?"

Hao Xie anxiously slapped the bed, and Sun Pingkuan turned his face to the window again, staring outside intently.

Zhang Hao's heart suddenly moved. Could he be waiting for some secret signal?
Could this be the signal for the Polar Tower to be opened?

"I rely on!"

Zhang Hao suddenly uttered a swear word.

"what happened?"

"I have a bold guess..."

"What guess?"

"Tell me, have they memorized all those photos we brought home? They are waiting for the opportunity to open the Polar Tower. As long as two identical clouds appear here, they will definitely react. They are--"

"key!"

"key!"

Zhang Hao and Hao Xie gave the answer in unison!
Although this is just a guess, it makes perfect sense!
Could those "partners" be the so-called keys?

In that era, there was no high technology that could analyze the shapes of all clouds, and it was even more impossible to search for the appearance of all the photos in the memory bank in a short period of time.

But if these things could be implanted into the human brain, turning them into emotionless humanoid keys, scattered around the world, they would give some kind of signal as long as the exact same clouds appeared again!
"Gluck cluck-"

Sun Pingkuan suddenly reacted. He stood up abruptly, crawled to the window, and pushed the window hard to get out, his eyes fixed on the outside!

"Could this be the same cloud——"

Zhang Hao asked the question subconsciously, but the next moment, the photo in his hand gave him the answer!

It's exactly the same!
This photo is exactly the same as the clouds in the sky!
The clouds may be fleeting, and although the Polar Tower is open for twelve hours, Zhang Hao dare not delay for a moment.

He pulled Sun Pingkuan and walked out.

Sun Pingkuan looked strange, his demeanor was stiff and his expression was scary. He was unwilling to leave the window, or rather, he was unwilling to take his eyes off the clouds in the sky!
Zhang Hao didn't dare to provoke him. He gritted his teeth, stretched out his hand and punched a big hole in the wall!
Rumbling--

After a big hole was broken in the wall, Zhang Hao forcibly pulled Sun Pingkuan to the front of the hole.

There was no obstruction here, and he was fascinated by the view.

"What are you doing?!"

The nurse downstairs pointed at them in the hole and shouted, "What's wrong with this wall?! What are you doing!"

Zhang Hao jumped down from the second floor with his men, scaring the fat nurse.

Fatty Wang also ran out of the payment room and was stunned when he saw this scene.

——How much money will this cost?

Hao Xie’s physical fitness is average, so he can only run down the stairs.

"Fatty Wang, you stay and pay the money. We'll go find the entrance first!"

Most people might not understand what they said, but Fatty Wang did. The playfulness on his face suddenly turned serious.

He nodded, easily grabbed the fleeing nurse with one hand and said, "Okay, go ahead, and keep me updated. I'll come find you after I finish this."

After leaving the hospital, Sun Pingkuan kept staring at the sky as if he was chasing something.

Zhang Hao didn't even bother to drive and just followed him.

After walking to a large open space, Sun Pingkuan drew something on the ground with his hands while staring at the sky.

Zhang Hao didn't disturb him and let him play.

Now every move he makes needs to be carefully analyzed, there must be clues hidden in it!

Hao Xie was more cautious and had already taken out his phone to start filming!
Five minutes later, Sun Pingkuan fell to the ground, looking exhausted and completely unconscious.

His hands were cut and bleeding, and were covered in dirt, which was heartbreaking to look at.

Zhang Hao produced a bottle of water from the space to rinse his wound, then wrapped it in a towel and placed it on the grass on the side.

"what is this?"

There are many lines and figures on the ground.

Triangles and rectangles are the most common, and there are some irregular circles.

"These……"

Hao Xie looked at it carefully, but still couldn't make out anything.

"Take a careful picture of this and I'll draw it in my notebook. Since this is a clue, we need to analyze it carefully."

As Zhang Hao copied the graphics on the notebook, his expression became more and more serious.

Hao Xie saw his expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just feel these are very familiar."

"Where is it familiar?"

Zhang Hao pointed to the largest triangle in the middle of the figure and said, "Look, there is a circle inside this triangle, and there are many triangles next to it. They are distributed in a strip-like pattern, and their sizes are also regular. The closer you get to the edge, the smaller the triangles are, with only the one in the middle being the largest. Do you think this looks like... a topographic map?"

These triangles are mountains. Mountains are distributed in strips, and the altitude decreases as you go deeper.

After hearing what he said, Hao Xie also felt suddenly enlightened!

"So what does the circle in the middle of this triangle represent?"

"The triangle is a mountain, and mountains have corners. This circle without corners... do you think it could be a pool or a lake on the mountain?"

The two were silent for a few seconds, then shouted at the same time: "Changbai Mountain!"

Only Changbai Mountain has such a big lake on the top of the mountain!

Moreover, taking this answer as a clue, and carefully observing the other triangles, we found that each one coincides with the peaks near Changbai Mountain!

"Where is the entrance then?"

Zhang Hao stared at the pattern on the ground, examined it carefully for a while, and then made a cross next to the main peak of Changbai Mountain.

"He said the entrance is here."

Although Zhang Hao still didn't know how Sun Pingkuan found the answer from those ever-changing clouds, he chose to believe it!

Changbai Mountain is thousands of kilometers away from here! Conventional means of transportation will definitely not work!
"Hey! What's up?"

Fatty Wang asked as he ran, and it was obvious that he had already dealt with the welfare home's affairs.

"Sun Pingkuan was not allowed to live there any longer. I told them they were unwilling to pay for his medical expenses. They felt that no one would pay for him for his whole life, so they didn't want him anymore."

After all, given their "bad deeds" in the past few months, it is understandable that they are unwilling to accept them anymore. Now that Zhang Hao and other "good guys" have appeared, the best option is to just drive them away!

"Fatty, we may have to go to Changbai Mountain." Hao Xie said, pointing at the pile of strange patterns on the ground.

"Changbai Mountain?" Fatty Wang looked confused: "Why do we suddenly want to go to Changbai Mountain? Is the Polar Tower there?"

"Maybe." Zhang Hao carried Sun Pingkuan and said, "Take him with you. I have a feeling he will come in handy!"

This is the south, and Changbai Mountain is in the far north. If you drive there, it will take at least a few days, and even if you take a plane it will take more than ten hours.

According to legend, the Polar Tower is only open for twelve hours. If they cannot reach Changbai Mountain and find the entrance accurately within these twelve hours, they don’t know how long they will have to wait!

I must catch up this time!

Fatty Wang and Hao Xie turned their gazes to Zhang Hao at the same time.

"You can do it, right?"

"Boss, you can do it, right?"

Zhang Hao: “…I think it’s a bit risky.”

Although he has this ability, it is also conditional.

That's where he had to have been.

The reason why he chose to drive along the way was because there were many places he was unfamiliar with and had never been to, so even teleportation was useless.

"Ah? Then we really can't catch up?"

Hao Xie lowered his eyes, trying hard to hide his disappointment.

"maybe."

Zhang Hao sighed and said, "As long as someone in Changbai Mountain can help me draw a magic circle, I can be teleported into that magic circle, but I don't know anyone in Changbai Mountain."

Hearing this, Hao Xie's brows immediately lit up with joy.

"This is easy to handle!"

If nothing else, the Wu family has extensive connections!

Hao Xie took his cell phone and walked aside to make a call, and came back ten minutes later.

"I have already contacted the Wu family's scientific research person in the Northeast. He is also a gangster. Whatever magic circle you want, just ask Lao Liu to help draw it!"

Hao Xie handed the phone to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao directly drew a magic circle on the notebook and asked Hao Xie to take a photo and send it over.

Two hours later, there was a reply.

On the open space at the foot of Changbai Mountain, a magic circle had been drawn with red cinnabar powder.

"Young Master, is this okay?"

Hao Xie glanced at Zhang Hao, and when he saw him nod, he said, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Hao unloaded all the equipment they needed to go to the tomb from the car.

"Can we carry so many things with us?" Fatty Wang couldn't help but ask.

Zhang Hao just raised his head and prepared to explain that he could put things into the space, when he heard him say: "Oh, by the way, I forgot, you can hide a lot of things! Just ignore what I said!"

Zhang Hao: “…I’m really impressed by you.”

When teleporting, Zhang Hao needed to make seals with both hands, and the size of his magic circle was also limited, so he could only put the equipment, the huge Fatty Wang, and Sun Pingkuan, who could only lie down, into the space, and let Hao Xie stand beside him.

This was the first time that Hao Xie watched Zhang Hao cast a spell at such a close distance.

Each of his movements was clean and neat, and contained indescribable power.

The next moment, he felt dizzy and the world was spinning.

Not long after, when he came to his senses, he was already standing at the foot of the lush Changbai Mountain!

Fatty Wang and Sun Pingkuan were "thrown" out along with their equipment.

"Ouch, ouch! Fatty, I feel dizzy!"

Fatty Wang lay on the ground, covering his head and shouting.

Not only Fatty Wang, Hao Xie is not much better. (End of this chapter)
