Above Destiny

Chapter 385 The End and You
"Wow, Oasis! What a big crocodile!"

"Is it possible that it's called a lizard?"

Ji Jue sighed. How remote is the An family? It’s bad enough that he never went to high school, but how come he hasn’t even seen Animal World?

Unfortunately, before hearing Ji Jue's explanation, An Ning had already jumped out of the car, nimbly climbed over the sand dune, and leaped into the small oasis.

Mix it in.

The many wild animals gathered beside the pond to drink water did not even look up, or did not dare to look up, and she picked them up one by one and took pictures of them.

Until Oasis couldn't stand her anymore.

As the earth shook and the mountains trembled, yellow sand rolled and surged, spreading to both sides.

The oasis rose up, and a rock-like head stretched out from the crevice of the stone, as if looking back and glancing at them. Then, several giant feet like rocks supported a body that was several kilometers in size, carrying the pond and green plants, and staggered towards the distance.

It seems slow, but it is actually fast.

In just a few minutes, it disappeared into the yellow sand.

Only An Ning, whose face was covered with sand, jumped excitedly and said, "Did you see it? Brother Ji Jue, it's alive. It's really alive."

"Indeed, it's really big."

Ji Jue leaned in the driver's seat, looking in the direction of the oasis, sighing softly.

This is the first time I have seen such a huge creature.

Some experts say that it is also a disaster beast, seemingly a mutant tortoise, but a rare and gentle one. It can survive even if it only eats soil and sand, and its body will continue to grow larger, so it has no natural enemies. Since there are no rare materials, few people will hunt it.

Its biggest hobby is basking in the sun. If you are lucky, you can occasionally find traces of it in the desert.

Maybe he had enough sun and was looking for a place to take a nap.

Or, felt something.

"It's going to be windy, An Ning."

Ji Jue waved his hand: "Let's go, the sandstorm is coming."

According to the satellite map, a large cyclone is moving southward. If we stay where we are, we might be completely swallowed up.

After an hour of galloping, the wind was so strong that the road was not visible. After getting stuck several times in the increasingly dense yellow sand, the calf switched to walking mode, with its eight mechanical limbs nimbly jumping between the sand dunes, and finally found a safe haven under the cliff that had not collapsed or weathered.

In the darkness, the aftermath of the sandstorm whizzed past them, and countless sand and debris fell like heavy rain.

The car with its lights turned off was buried underneath, and one could hear bursts of roars mixed with earth-shaking noises.

It's like the sea of ​​sand is boiling.

An Ning stuck her head out in surprise and looked around curiously.

Then, Ji Jue and I saw that in the endless dust and sand, under the vast sea of ​​sand, the sleeping giant slowly rose up.

The limbs, like giant pillars, suddenly shot out towards the sky, into the storm cyclone.

As if it had bitten something, the storm instantly became more violent with a roar that shook the earth and sky, and a huge amount of sticky blood spilled from the dust.

Soon, the strange limbs that looked like pillars of heaven shrank back, and most of them were broken. But on the wriggling limbs, there was still a broken wing, with pieces of carapace and wriggling flesh attached.

Buried by the storm, it returned to the yellow sand and disappeared.

After the cyclone blew deeper into the desert like a living thing, half an hour later, the storm subsided, the desert was still a desert, and the wasteland was still a wasteland.

It's like nothing happened.

The fight between the two huge disaster beasts seemed like an illusion.

"How spectacular." An Ning exclaimed.

"Yeah." Ji Jue was also immersed in the magnificent scene.

She looked through the blurry pictures taken by the camera and sighed with regret: "What a pity, it's not clearer."

"This distance is the limit. If you move any further, you will be courting death."

Ji Jue raised her finger and tapped her camera, adjusting the parameters. After removing irrelevant obstructions, the image enhanced itself. Unfortunately, it was still not clear.

It's just a casual thing, so I'll leave it as a souvenir for her.

But when the image was enhanced, Ji Jue saw that a lot of ugly photos of himself had been added to the camera at some point... There were also photos of himself with scribbled on his face after he fell asleep and fingers being stuck in his mouth as a prank.

My blood pressure suddenly went up!

"Brother Ji Jue, what's wrong?"

An Ning looked at me innocently, and there was no trace of cultural pollution in her pure smile.

Ji Jue rolled his eyes and didn't want to talk to her anymore.

The calf rose from the sand, shook off the yellow sand, and set off again.

Under the evening glow, the desert seemed to turn pink, and its previous cruel and hideous appearance was no longer visible.

Also saw a mirage
What a blessing.

At daybreak, they had passed through the outskirts of Longyuan and arrived at the Haizhou checkpoint, the last stop of the journey, still ranking among the top.

The time taken was more than seven hours ahead of other teams.

The game hasn't ended yet, but the result is already in doubt.

After another round of interviews and a day’s rest, the final S4 stage began at noon the next day.

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but when the train started, Ji Jue seemed to see a lot of familiar faces among the audience around the relay station, and even a prison building.

But the jailer still seemed unhappy, with a gloomy face, standing in the crowd. After looking at him, he patted his butt and walked away.

The relationship has faded, and I didn’t even send you a text message to cheer you on during the game.

Ji Jue sighed, and after flipping through all the congratulatory messages on his phone, he created a separate group for all the contacts who had not sent any messages of encouragement, leaving room for the opportunity to deepen their friendship in the future.

After entering Haizhou, things were different from before in Longyuan.

It was like suddenly jumping from land into the sea; the air, which was originally so dry that it made your nose bleed, suddenly became so humid that it was suffocating.

Half a day after we set off, the potato chips that had been in the trunk for several days started to grow mold.

The sun was getting more violent, its harsh rays ravaging every inch of skin not covered by sunscreen, while the rain was heavy and the fog was thick. In the wilderness full of swamps, the vegetation was getting more lush, and snakes and insects were getting closer.

Although it was a little more troublesome to move forward, it was a smooth journey compared to before. After all, Ji Jue had already gotten used to it and it was completely like playing at home.

Occasionally when he passed by some gathering places or near small towns, he could still see the familiar peanuts and radishes, but... they had been almost completely changed beyond recognition.

After looking at it, Ji Jue stopped the car, scratched his head and thought for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out - how did these skilled people in the settlement install tracks on the small three-wheeled vehicles?

And some of the tricycles are like driving a train, and they can be connected in a string...

As for more, there were all kinds of monsters and demons that illegally overloaded the truck bed to the point of piling up like a mountain, which very vividly brought some insignificant shock to the original work. Ji Jue felt that he was about to be killed by the mechanical engineering he had studied for so many years.

In just over half a month, many complex changes emerged in the wilderness.

Even though he was the one who started it, Ji Jue couldn't help but be stunned at this moment.

At the same time, there is also a vague feeling of pride.

It's just a pity that so many preparations were made in advance...

According to the original plan, he still intended to start a train, attract a wave of hatred, and try to solve the problem in Haizhou's home court. By then, every gathering point in the entire wasteland would be his arsenal. With just a flick of his finger, he could let his opponents experience the shock of the cold dish platter of the Coast Automobile Factory.

Unfortunately, the entire Haizhou wilderness seems to be peaceful and tranquil.

It has been cleaned countless times by the security bureaus and various households. Any extra stone on the road will be flattened and carried away.

During the journey, many passers-by in the wilderness cast their eyes at us from afar, and sometimes even waved to us.

Some recognized Ji Jue's face, or some were watching the live broadcast of the game, honking their horns to say hello, and appeared on TV. Others just smiled slightly, watched from afar, and wished him a safe journey.

The troubles of the wilderness had vanished.

The journey, which was originally expected to take two days, was completed in one and a half days.

In the distance, between the increasingly dense buildings and roads, the huge outline of Chaocheng is faintly emerging, and the terminal is already in sight.

On both sides of the road, in the mud and behind the guardrails, there are more and more onlookers.

By the end, it was almost packed with people.

Under the camera's filming, they shouted excitedly, waved their hands, and some suddenly climbed over the guardrail, wanting to touch something while passing by.

Even if I get splashed with mud all over.

The little calf honked the horn excitedly, having never enjoyed such enthusiastic cheers and onlookers before. His butt was twisting as he ran, and he accelerated again, performing a stunt while turning a corner, which aroused a round of excited shouts.

Then, the flying mud blocked the opened mouth.

But the excited audience didn't take it as an offense and continued to enjoy it.

Just like that, under the illumination of countless flashing lights, the speeding off-road vehicle broke through the finish line, and the coastal workers who had been waiting around the finish line rushed up, their faces flushed, and they shouted wildly.

Yan Jian, who was leaning on a crutch, watched the scene from afar, tears streaming down his face.

Joy fills every inch of the air.

It was the first time that Ji Jue saw so many smiling faces. Although he felt nothing when he crossed the finish line, he was a little dazed now.

I didn't come to my senses until the car parked in the garage.

Until a sigh of loss was heard from the passenger seat.

"It's over."

"Yeah." Ji Jue nodded and knocked her head with his fist: "Thank you for your hard work along the way."

"it's a pity."

An Ning pouted, her eyes suddenly lit up: "How about... let's run another lap!"

【? 】

Ji Jue was stunned for a long time and almost laughed: "The rally is over, where else can we go?"

"After running vertically, we can still run horizontally, right?" An Ning said excitedly, "After running horizontally, we can run in circles. Besides, even if the Federation is finished, there is still Middle-earth and the Empire!
This is just the beginning. The real competition is to conquer the world on wheels!"

Ji Jue's eyes twitched wildly, and he was helpless: "Let's not talk about how to drive the wheels on the water, you just want to have fun, right?"

"Eh? Isn't it the same for Brother Ji Jue?"

An Ning glanced over and complained: "You were having so much fun!"

"But we have to go home, right?" Ji Jue sighed and shrugged: "No matter how much fun we have, there are always things to do. There are still a lot of things to solve."

"..."

An Ning didn't say anything else.

Look at him.

The look in his eyes was puzzled, or perhaps angry.

"what happened?"

"I can't figure it out. From the past to now, I just can't figure it out."

An Ning folded her arms, unable to hold back any longer, and asked unhappily, "Brother Ji Jue, there is one thing that has always puzzled you... Why do you have to do things? Is there something so important that you have to do it by yourself?"

Ji Jue shrugged: "If..."

An Ning shook her head and interrupted him: "So, you have to do everything meaningfully. How far do you have to go to be satisfied? How far do you have to go to be satisfied?"

"..."

In the silence, Ji Jue remained silent.

It seemed as if he didn't understand what she meant, or maybe he had already understood it but didn't know how to respond.

Constantly pursuing meaning and results, rushing forward day after day, stumbling upward without a breath... Is there really an end to such a life?
After countless meanings and achievements, will there really be meaning and achievements?

he does not know.

But if not...

"Actually, as long as you're happy, that's all, right?"

An Ning's eyes widened and she leaned closer: "Even if you find a tree you like, lie down and do nothing, it doesn't matter if you sleep under the tree all day. It doesn't matter if you happily look for something you want to eat and do nothing happily... Obviously, no one can stipulate how people must live, right?"

"You're talking like a child again."

Ji Jue sighed, but wanted to speak again, but he couldn't say anything anymore.

It was An Ning who stretched out her hand.

After thousands of kilometers of running, she mustered up her courage and finally crossed the last short distance between the driver's seats. She stood on tiptoe and hugged his face gently and solemnly.

A breath as light as a bubble engulfed Ji Jue.

Like a dream.

“You’ve tried very hard.”

An Ning stroked his hair and told him softly, "It's okay to take a break once in a while."

Ji Jue froze in place.

For a long, long time, until she finally let go.

An Ning turned her head slowly.

Look out the window.

The gentle eyes gradually turned cold, full of disgust, as they looked towards the figure that had appeared in the corner of the garage at some unknown time.

"It's okay, leave us alone, just continue."

"It's OK if we don't exist."

"Oh, I mean youth..."

At the garage door, two middle-aged men wearing large floral shirts and large shorts worn by tourists were wearing identical sun hats and large sunglasses, wearing flip-flops, and carrying a bunch of souvenirs in their hands.

There is no sense of existence at all, and we don't even know when it appeared.

An Neng and Ande.

They were cracking melon seeds, excitedly watching the sweet story of youth, their faces almost smiling like a withered flower and a weathered willow.

"Tsk, my family is here..."

An Ning curled her lips, retracted her gaze, and looked at Ji Jue: "I'm leaving, Brother Ji Jue, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Ji Jue was silent for a long time, and told her: "Go home quickly, don't dawdle."

"And then?" An Ning asked.

"..."

After another silence, Ji Jue sighed and bowed his head sincerely: "Thank you."

"Then what? Then what?!" An Ning became more and more expectant.

Then, Ji Jue got off the car, found the package he had asked his subordinates to prepare, opened it, and put a thick stack of mathematics, biology, physics, chemistry, and history textbooks as well as test papers into An Ning's hands.

Piled into a small hill.

"Study hard and work hard to get rid of illiteracy!"

Ji Jue said solemnly: "Take these books and exercises back and study them slowly and do them slowly, and try to get into a good university."

【? ? ? 】

An Ning was dazed. She looked down at the pile of brand new textbooks and questionnaires in her arms, then looked at Ji Jue. After several rounds of this, she could no longer hold back her anger:
"It's still annoying!"

"Ah."

"You're still lying!"

"Ah."

Ji Jue nodded and was about to speak, but his collar was pulled.

So rough.

He pulled it forcefully, forcing him to lower his head.

Then, An Ning stood on tiptoe.

The pair of eyes that seemed to be filled with starlight came closer, and before he could react, they were pressed tightly against his lips, and a soft touch emerged from above his lips.

But it was no longer as gentle as before, but rather as rough and fierce as a carnivore. The wolf, which had been lurking for a long time, jumped out from the shadows, pounced on the prey while it was not paying attention, bit its vital parts, and ate it with relish.

He didn't let go until he was almost out of breath.

Admiring the dying appearance of his prey, he grinned silently.

She raised her finger, wiped the trace of blood from the corner of her mouth, put it in her mouth, and licked it to savor it.

"You're wrong, Brother Ji Jue. I like you."

She stared at Ji Jue's stunned look and told him word by word: "Even if you are not someone's, I still like you!"

"..."

In the silence, Ji Jue remained dazed. He wanted to open his mouth several times but couldn't say anything. In the end, he could only ask as if to cover up: "Are you lying to me with this sentence too?"

So, An Ning started laughing.

"you guess?"

Ji Jue looked at that smug smile and still couldn't guess: "You are annoying too, An Ning."

An Ning's smile became more and more cheerful.

He took two steps back, turned and left.

But after taking two steps, he turned around and rushed back. When Ji Jue was on guard, he snatched his phone away, entered the password he had peeked at, saved his own phone number and all contact information, and finally, put it back in his hand.

Then, while he wasn't paying attention, she grabbed his collar.

Kissed again.

"Next time, if you want to go out and play again, come find me again, Brother Ji Jue."

She let go of his hand, took two steps back, admired Ji Jue's expression, and smiled softly:
“Anytime, anywhere!”

Ji Jue was stiff, not knowing what to say.

Subconsciously, I looked up at the garage door and saw the two excited onlookers, full of confusion and shock: No, your niece is in a relationship while underage, and she kissed her several times in front of you, and you just stood there and watched? !

What about the copper head belt?
Pull it out!

And An Neng and Ande continued to smoke and chat, with no reaction at all.

Noticing his look, she sneered.

My niece is just in a relationship, she is not abandoned by a scumbag, so how can we be so angry?

When we were playing rock music back then, you didn’t even know where you were!
This is what we White Deer are like, boy!
Do you understand what freedom is?

Ji Jue has nothing to say

Just like that, I watched An Ning follow them.

Disappear.

Even forgot to say goodbye.

Returning to the quiet garage, he sat down on the textbook that An Ning had thrown down, feeling inexplicably shocked.

However, although……

I understand the logic, but you Bailu are too fucking free, aren't you?
