Chapter 57 Going Home (20)

Ding Shi continued driving, and Kai Ge asked a question: "Do you guys think Ding Shi has a knack for attracting disasters?"

Ding Shi strongly objected: "Nonsense, I have a lucky koi constitution."

Chu Yu and Ri Tian replied perfunctorily, "It's alright, it's alright."

After traveling 20 kilometers, they encountered three special agent vehicles. Even Chu Yu, starting to believe in superstition, let Kai Ge take over driving. A miracle occurred: for the next 5 kilometers, they didn't encounter any special agent vehicles. Ding Shi, unwilling to accept defeat, took over, but less than five minutes later, special agent vehicles came chasing after them.

Ding Shi, who was forced to become the navigator, was very dissatisfied: "If the agents were data, I could say I was unlucky, or that I was targeted by the system. But all the agents are players."

Kai drove into a self-service gas station and asked, "So that means you're really unlucky?"

Ding Shi got out of the car angrily, walked to the special agent vehicle that was refueling, and shot the agent in the head.

During refueling, another agent vehicle entered the gas station. The driver got out, glanced at the players to the side, and then turned to concentrate on figuring out how to refuel using the self-service system.

There's a reason why these people died in the Peach Blossom Village instance.

That's incredibly weak.

However, many players who accepted the express delivery mission did not think so.

After resurrecting for the third time, Silly Dagger went mad; he couldn't believe he'd died twice. He was equipped with a pistol, while the target player only had a stone weapon, yet he'd died twice. What enraged him most was that he didn't know how he'd died. So he began going on missions like crazy.

He fought his way through, searching everywhere. By the end of the day, more than fifteen target players had died at his hands, which drove him even more insane. These players were all ordinary people, none of whom could withstand a single blow.

Who killed me?

On the system map, only seven glowing dots remained. Starting with the times of his two deaths, and then reviewing the suspect vehicles from those times, he quickly noticed NB711. This car had disappeared from the map for over 24 hours, and no surveillance cameras had captured it.

Through CCTV footage, Sha Bi discovered that he was driving a black sedan, 711NB, towards the exit of the Black Ditch, and then never came out again.

Foolish Bone immediately searched for the license plate number 711NB. Traffic camera footage showed that 711NB had appeared in a mid-to-lower province five minutes earlier. That's it, someone had killed him and robbed him.

……

At 8 PM on the third night, Ding Shi, who had slept all afternoon, took over the vehicle. After driving for about 10 minutes, he noticed a group of car lights approaching from behind at an extremely high speed in the darkness. The speed was so fast that Ding Shi judged the car to be traveling at over 200 kilometers per hour. The current speed limit on the road is 100 kilometers per hour.

Vehicle X will definitely be captured by a traffic camera, which will send the violation information to the authorities, and nearby police officers will immediately intercept it. However, since Vehicle X has no police lights in front, behind, or to the sides, there's only one possibility: the traffic camera captured the vehicle, but the AI ​​deleted the data, and the information wasn't sent to the authorities.

Therefore, it can be confirmed that vehicle X is a special agent vehicle, and judging from its acceleration, it is very likely that it is coming for us.

The idiot quickly caught up with the 711NB, which was parked on the emergency lane with its hazard lights on. Several people were stretching in front of the car.

Damn it, another weakling!

Stupid swerved the steering wheel, parked the car diagonally to block the 711NB, got out with his pistol, and was then shot in the head by a bullet flying from the side. He didn't say a word; he died as soon as he got out of the car.

After searching the corpse, Ding Shi couldn't help but kick the body of the idiot. He was getting poorer and poorer. He used to have a hundred or two hundred dungeon coins, but now he only had 10 yuan worth. He didn't even have a baton or a stun grenade.

Chu Yu asked, "Is he the player you stabbed to death at the gas station?" Ding Shi nodded and said, "He's also the one who killed Mu Mu."

Chu Yu kicked Sha Bi and told everyone to get in the car. Ding Shi drove, and Kai Ge asked, "Ding Shi, do you have a personal grudge against him?"

Ding Shi vaguely replied with an "Mmm," but he was puzzled. After an agent dies, a new clone will be released, and the new clone will not inherit the memories of the deceased.

So why does Stupid Dagger keep chasing itself? If it's going to chase, why is its skill level so low every time, repeatedly dying from underestimating its opponent?

Clearly, Silly Bone didn't know that his target was himself; otherwise, he would have been on high alert and would have set up various traps and mechanisms.

If that's the case, why is Stupid Dagger chasing after me?
The resurrected Foolish Dagger hadn't inherited any memories. He was incredulous once again, unable to believe he had died three times. He went mad again, not knowing what had happened, how he had died, or why he had died.

……

At 8:00 AM on the fourth day, in a signal-free area near Zhongshang County, Zhongshang Province, 711NB hid in a side road. One person was on duty, while the other two rested. The sky was their blanket, the ground their mat, and cardboard was placed between them. Since killing many special agents, the fish team's total funds had reached 1,500 yuan. They no longer ate biscuits but instead ate self-heating hot pot.

No one gets rich without unexpected windfalls. For those who diligently complete the main quests, even a penny is precious. The Fish Team was initially worried about funds, but after venturing into the non-signal zone twice and hunting down agents multiple times, money was no longer an issue for them.

At noon, Chu Yu, Kai Ge, and Ding Shi each had a self-heating hot pot for a meeting. As for Ri Tian, ​​he could only drink water and eat some biscuits to reduce his need for excretion.

Ding Shi pointed to the map and said, "The total distance to the far north province via the expressway is 1200 kilometers, and we can arrive today. The toll is 0.3 yuan per kilometer, so we can afford the 360 ​​yuan expressway toll."

Chu Yu said, "There are not only numerous electronic surveillance cameras on the highway, but also very few forks in the road. Once we are spotted by special agents, we will have to race against them." Once on the highway, as long as the vehicle does not leave the highway, its location can be calculated by the electronic surveillance cameras.

National highways are different. On some sections of national highways, you can pull over to the side of the road, drive into rural areas, and enter areas without signal coverage. In addition, the coverage of police cars on national highways is relatively low, so occasional violations are not a big problem.

Ding Shi said, "If we take the national highway, it will be another 2000 kilometers to reach the far north province, and the speed will be slow on many sections."

Chu Yu voiced her concerns: "With the mission time halfway through, not many people will accept the Express Delivery mission anymore. I'm worried that the AI ​​has already eliminated most of the players who accepted the mission. Our attack frequency yesterday was much higher than the day before, even excluding Ding Shi's unlucky constitution..."

Chu Yu smiled at Ding Shi and continued, "Once we get on the highway, we'll have nowhere to hide. Waves of agents will try to intercept us from both sides. Under the surveillance of electronic eyes, we can't break the law, but the agents can. Otherwise, the police will pursue us. This rule is the most crucial."

Chu Yu asked, "What are your thoughts on this?" Chu Yu knew that Ding Shi must have considered the pros and cons when he suggested taking the highway.

Ding Shi said, "Steal the car."

Chu Yu asked, "Steal a car?"

Ding Shi nodded: "We'll steal cars on the highway, about once every hour. That way, the agents will never be able to locate our vehicle..." He paused, glancing at the car. The frequent car changes were torture for Ri Tian; they didn't have time to remove the seats, so they had to cram him into the back.

During the car chase, the changes in speed caused Ritian's body to roll over, worsening his injuries and increasing his pain.

Chu Yu turned around, opened the car door, looked at Ri Tian for a while, and said, "I think he's okay."

Ritian: "What do you mean, 'can't'? Don't make decisions for me. You can ask me first. I don't mind dying, but I do mind dying without meaning."
