Chapter 36

Now everyone is heading inward from the border, and there are very few people driving in the opposite direction. Qiao is driving smoothly on the road.

The car was still a bit too big for Qiao Ye. Sitting in the driver's seat, Qiao Ye looked like a child.

However, the vehicle is very stable. Although it is self-driving, it is much simpler for Joe than driving on Earth. Joe only needs to set the speed and control the direction.

A dark and ominous aura enveloped the distant wilderness. Based on the information he had gathered, Qiao wondered if a second wave of beasts was about to arrive.

Joe even saw the flight path of the mechs in the distance; they must be fighting with the alien beasts.

The closer you are to the border, the more dangerous it is. If the beast tide comes again and the front line fails to intercept the beasts, or if one or two monsters break through the defense line, those who are still outside and have not taken shelter will be in mortal danger.

Those monsters had a greedy desire for flesh and blood. Wherever they went, they were like locusts, and all living creatures that breathed became their prey.

The road was wide, and he was the only car heading towards the border. Joe felt uneasy, so he pushed the energy lever to speed up. He wanted to get back to his master as soon as possible.

"Can you go any faster? Stop him!" Ji Feng stared at the car in front of him, as if that would allow him to precisely lock onto the vehicle Qiao Ye was driving and prevent it from getting out of control.

Gao Zhixiang was on high alert, his expression serious. His brows were furrowed as he said, "He accelerated, the car has reached 140 km/h, the magnetic field is disordered, the autopilot technology has failed, the other party can only have such stability by being fully immersed in driving..."

Ji Feng watched as the cars in front of him seemed to be getting further and further away, and said excitedly, "Speed ​​up!"

Gao Zhixiang's expression was serious: "My mental strength level is only A, and my stable and safe speed for controlling the vehicle is only 130. The other party's mental strength level is higher than mine. Unless I activate the mecha, but then the other party will also respond. I will immediately call the squad leader and we must intercept this guy..."

Ji Feng, seemingly unable to comprehend it, cried out in disbelief, "No way, you can't even compare to a Yuan person? The one driving that was my brother's Yuan!"

Gao Zhixiang gave him a "you're kidding me" look, and said in an absolute tone, "Are you hallucinating? Boss's original human is indeed very smart, but there's absolutely no way he could drive at this speed. No original human could do that. If Ling Mu were driving, I'd be his original human! I'd recognize him as my master! There's definitely someone with higher mental strength than me in there!"

Gao Zhixiang took the matter very seriously, as it concerned the intrusion into the leader's car. He reported it to his squad leader, Li Cheng, who was currently at the front line, under the command of his general, to deploy defenses to prepare for the second wave of beasts.

Li Cheng first instructed Gao Zhixiang to keep a close eye on the general's car, and then found an opportunity to speak with his boss.

Ji Fang frowned and pondered: "Someone hijacked the car?" The war is more important; the loss of the car is not a big deal.

A hint of nonchalant coldness flashed in his eyes as he gave the order: "If you can't catch up, destroy them all."

Li Cheng felt it necessary to add: "However, your original body is also inside, and your brother and Gao Zhixiang are intercepting them together."

Ji Fang paused, stopped, and turned his head: "You mean, someone kidnapped my original self?"

Ji Fang immediately connected to the terminal and attempted to locate the vehicle information through the terminal, but due to severe magnetic interference, he was unable to accurately capture the information.

Li Cheng cautiously confirmed again: "Should we destroy it?"

Ji Fang raised his hand and revoked the order. He hesitated for a moment, then walked to a military vehicle, slammed his hand heavily on the hood, and closed his eyes.

An overwhelming aura of mental attack emanated from Ji Fang, and Li Cheng was ejected from his mecha in a conditioned reflex and immediately entered combat mode.

What is the boss up to? Li Cheng was somewhat shocked. Just how powerful was the boss? This was a question that his guards often wondered about, but no one could fathom the boss's true strength.

Ji Fang controlled his mental energy into an extremely fine thread to sense and control his car. Once connected, the fearless carjacker would immediately suffer a mental breakdown and become a mindless cripple!

Standing at a distance, Li Cheng saw his boss's intention. He contacted Gao Zhixiang through the intranet to confirm the location while calculating the distance to the car.

The hijacked vehicle was heading in the direction of the camp, which was very strange. Could there be some kind of conspiracy?

Taking control of the vehicle from such a distance, and from a hijacker with a mental strength level of at least S, was indeed an impossible task for him.

However, the boss was clearly able to handle it with ease, and Li Cheng, seeing the distance, gained a new understanding of the boss's strength.

Soon, Ji Fang regained control of his vehicle with ease, without encountering any mental clashes or conflicts, and was not immersed in driving.

Ji Fang then realized that there was no one "hijacking" his car. In the large cockpit sat a small creature, which was his original self.

His Lingmu can actually be driven manually?

This made Ji Fang, who was usually calm and collected in the face of emergencies, wonder if he had misjudged the situation and overlooked other suspicious persons in the car.

However, looking at the small, anxious man inside the car, and how skilled he was at manual driving, and seeing him heading towards his home in the neighborhood, he couldn't help but smile.

Raising a primitive human is such a hassle; he can't be separated from his master at all times. The border is so dangerous; he really can't take good care of him!

His original human was indeed intelligent. Ji Fang recalled that Wei Liangguan had repeatedly asked him to raise Ling Mu, saying that this original human was obviously intelligent.

Ji Fang raised an eyebrow, when a voice suddenly came from inside the car: "Ling Mu, what are you doing!"

Joe was startled by his owner's sudden voice and almost lost his grip on the steering wheel. At such a high speed, it would be very dangerous if he got distracted!

However, Joe also discovered that the car was no longer under his control, and upon closer inspection, he realized that it had been put into immersive driving mode.

Ji Fang took control of the car.

Qiao was also agitated, loudly protesting, "I don't want to be with Ji Feng! He's going to ship me here and make me crawl into that cage. I get a phobia of that cage just looking at it, and I can't communicate with him. I don't want to leave you! Even if it's dangerous, even if I see those terrifying monsters every day, I'm not afraid..."

Qiao also rambled on and on. Even though Ji Fang couldn't understand what he was saying, he could feel the grievance and accusation of his little Yuanren. As for what exactly happened, he would have to ask Ji Feng to find out.

As soon as Ji Fang spoke, his voice unconsciously carried a reassuring tone: "The border is dangerous, and I can't take care of you all the time. Didn't I tell you to go back to Lizhou with Ji Feng? Or is it that Ji Feng is irresponsible and lost you?"

Qiao could naturally understand what Ji Fang was saying. He could have resolved his fear on his own, but his master's reassuring voice made him momentarily lose his composure. He was a child who was cared for and loved.

Joe's lips pursed slightly, his hands curled slightly on his knees, and his watery eyes seemed to have a hint of soda in them. He uttered a few indistinct words in Cohen's language with a slightly nasal tone: "No, I want you!"

These two sentences were already quite clear. Ji Fang, with a tone that was both helpless and indulgent, which he himself was unaware of, said, "You mean, you don't want to follow Ji Feng, you want to follow me?"

Joe hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Ji Fang didn't speak again. He seemed to be thinking about something, but just then, a huge rumbling sound suddenly came from the border forest. Black dust filled the sky in the distance, staining half of the sky.

At the same time, Ji Fang took control of Gao Zhixiang's car. Gao Zhixiang was startled by the sudden intrusion and broke out in a cold sweat. He was powerless to resist and lost control of the vehicle. His face turned ashen, and he thought he had encountered a formidable enemy.

Fortunately, Ji Fang's voice came through the car radio: "What's wrong with you guys? Can't you even read a simple document?"

Gao Zhixiang breathed a sigh of relief knowing it was his boss, but at the same time, he was also shocked by his boss's strength. His boss must be at the camp right now. How could he control other people's vehicles from such a distance? After training, he would just go out for a proper massage or something. Wouldn't that be discovered?

Upon hearing his older brother's voice, Ji Feng almost jumped up: "Brother, Ling Mu ran away by himself! Not only can he untie the ropes, he can also drive! Is he even human?! I think he's become a spirit! I can't even drive manually! And he drove so fast!"

Ji Fang ignored his younger brother's agitation, as if it were a given that his pet was so smart. He calmly questioned, "So, you two are not even as good as Tsubasahara. Why don't you activate your mechs and chase after him?"

Gao Zhixiang lowered his head in shame. He knew that when he went back this time, the class monitor would find out and he would be severely punished, forced to undergo intensive training in various disciplines, and suffer for a while.

Upon hearing the leader's question, Gao Zhixiang replied, "I thought someone with a higher mental strength level than me had hijacked the vehicle, so I didn't dare to act rashly. I'm reporting to the squad leader and following orders."

Ji Fang asked Ji Feng again, "Ji Feng, why didn't you activate the mecha and take Ling Mu back?"

Owning a mecha requires registration; ordinary people generally do not have the authority to own one, and most do not have the financial means to purchase one. They are usually issued mecha after joining the military.

Long before Ji Feng's mental strength stabilized, his father, Ji Yan, equipped him with a mecha that matched his mental strength and gave him the necessary permissions. Originally, the plan was for him to join the military like his older brother and sister. However, he rebelled and insisted on entering the entertainment industry, where he did poorly and was embroiled in scandals.

Ji Feng, like a goose with its neck pinched, stopped quacking and jumping. He shrank back guiltily and stammered out two words: "Didn't bring it."

Ji Fang's voice was stern: "As a member of the Ji family, a military family, even if you're not a soldier for now, you should remember the vigilance and responsibility you should have. In critical moments, you need to step forward to protect the people. How can you not even bring a mecha! So many people want to have it but don't have the chance or the honor. Ji Feng, you're not a child anymore!"

Ji Feng dared not refute. If he could, he would also like to give up his birth background and bear such a heavy responsibility. He was unworthy of his position and he was very sad. He just wanted to do what he liked and take charge of his own life. He just didn't like following the path arranged by his family, nor did he like those weapons. Was he wrong?

With his elder brother's subordinates present, Ji Feng didn't want to say much. Ji Fang also remained silent for a moment before ending the conversation, and Gao Zhixiang was so quiet that it was as if he didn't exist.

Without a word, Gao Zhixiang noticed that his vehicle suddenly accelerated. It was Ji Fang controlling the vehicle at high speed. Looking at the vehicle's speed that was about to exceed the limit, Gao Zhixiang felt that he was a complete novice when it came to driving. The boss was indeed the boss, with such terrifying strength!

Qiao was also sitting in the car when he found himself with a safety shield. Then the vehicle changed slightly and sped up, feeling like it was flying on the ground. Now Ji Fang was in control of the vehicle, and he trusted him completely and felt no fear.

The two-hour drive was completed in less than half an hour – that's terrifying speed.

The vehicle came to a smooth stop at the campsite. Due to the excessive speed, Joe felt that his body could not take it, his limbs were weak, and he felt dizzy.

Joe was a little dizzy when he heard the car door open. Then a pair of strong, steady hands grabbed his waist under his armpits and lifted him out of the driver's seat. He then fell into a comforting embrace.
