Chapter 160 Chapter 160

The train from Heng City to Beijing takes six and a half hours. The three of them boarded the train at around eleven o'clock, and it was lunch time in a while.

We bought five train lunch boxes. Except for Qingtong, Huang Tianzhen and Baxiong'an each had two.

Huang Tianzhen also said to Qingtong: "After you have a few more training sessions, your appetite will increase along with ours. Then you won't be this skinny anymore."

Qingtong hummed.

The train continued to move forward steadily. After finishing their lunch, Huang Tianzhen excitedly chatted with the two about the capital.

"I haven't been to Beijing before. I heard that the prices there are very expensive. The Forbidden City! I must go to the Forbidden City once I go to Beijing! How about we go to watch the flag-raising ceremony?" Huang Tianzhen excitedly used his mobile phone to check various travel guides for Beijing. "And the Great Wall, I must climb the Great Wall! After I go to Beijing, the food and accommodation problems are all solved there. The subway in Beijing is amazing, it is connected in all directions and can go anywhere. When I go there, I must visit all these attractions!!"

Qingtong held his chin with his hand and looked at his phone: "There are so many people at the flag-raising ceremony. I'm afraid that at that time, we won't be watching the flag-raising ceremony, but the people."

Ba Xiong'an echoed, "There are a lot of people in the Forbidden City, too."

If it is not a holiday, you can consider visiting the Great Wall. There are several sections of the Great Wall in the north, so you don't have to focus on the section in Beijing or go to crowded places.

What’s more…

"Do you think we have time to visit tourist attractions?" Qingtong asked back.

In the current situation, all countries are eager to train their talents today so that they can go out to fight monsters tomorrow. The daily training schedule is probably enough to make people feel very tight except for eating, sleeping and going to the toilet. Watching the flag-raising ceremony and climbing the Great Wall? It would be strange if they have the time and energy.

Huang Tianzhen obviously thought of this possibility. His expression changed slightly, and he said reluctantly, "At least we have to give them half a day off. Training every day must be exhausting."

Baxiong'an, who had been trained in the army, said with a straight face: "You won't be too tired. We will give you time to sleep."

Huang Tianzhen put down his phone and lay down on the small table, his eyes dull.

Well, he shouldn't have expected anything.

"It doesn't matter. At least you can still look at the starry sky of the capital." Qing Tong patted Huang Tianzhen's shoulder and said to him in comfort, "There's still dry air."

Baxiongan added: "And sandstorms."

Huang Tianzhen: …

Yes, the weather in the north is dry.

"Now that I think about it, the south is better." Huang Tianzhen sat up straight and said with emotion, "It's only the rainy season in the south."

Baxiong'an added: "And back to the South."

Huang Tianzhen: …

Is this big brother who came from the military a bit of a white-and-black-type person?

Qingtong: "The places with the most severe Huinantian epidemic are usually close to the sea. Hengshi is relatively better."

It's like a mirage. Once the south wind arrives, it's very humid inside and outside the house, as if the whole world is flooding and anywhere is like a bathhouse.

"At least I've been to the capital." Qingtong said.

Huang Tianzhen: "Well, okay."

An hour later, the train slowly stopped and arrived at the Sui City station. It only stopped for about ten minutes. Huang Tianzhen got up and went to the toilet while the train stopped.

At the stop, many people boarded the train with their luggage. Two guys wearing the same uniform as Qingtong and the other two boarded the train and saw them. They were surprised and said, "I didn't expect to see you right after I got on the train. You guys are also going to Beijing to report, right?"

After saying that, he glanced at the ticket in his hand. Coincidentally, he was with Qingtong and the other three.

There were three people in a row, and there were seats for six people on both sides of the small table. With these two people, there were only five people sitting there.

"We are from Sui City." The young man with a shaved head and a baseball cap said, "My name is Su Sanan, and this guy is Qixing, my cousin."

Qi Xing's temperament is very similar to Baxiong'an's. You can tell at a glance that he is also from the military. As for Su San'an, he looks like someone who has already entered society.

After Qingtong and Baxiong'an introduced themselves, Huang Tianzhen came back. Seeing two strangers in the same uniform sitting in his seat, he greeted them and sat next to Qingtong.

"It looks like we'll be traveling together from now on." Huang Tianzhen said with a smile, "Do you mind telling me about your awakening ability?"

"Of course you can. It's just that my ability is very weak, and I haven't found any use for it yet." Su Sanan raised his hand and stretched out a finger, and then a drop of water condensed on the tip of his finger and dripped onto the table.

Huang Tianzhen's eyes widened: "Oh, water system! That's fine."

"It's just too little." Su Sanan sighed, "It takes an hour to condense half a cup of water. In that time, the water from the faucet is enough to fill three buckets."

Qingtong looked at the water droplets rolling on the table: "Can it be drunk?"

"Regarding this, Lao Qin has monitored it for me. Lao Qin is the director of the Sui City branch." Su Sanan said, "The water is just ordinary water. There is no harm in drinking it, and I can't see any benefits at the moment."

Huang Tianzhen laughed and said, "It's okay. Your ability is much more useful than mine. At least in some situations, I won't die of thirst with you."

For example, when you are stuck in a difficult situation and cannot escape, you may not be able to survive without food for a short period of time, but you cannot survive without water for three days.

"My abilities are just useless." Huang Tianzhen demonstrated his abilities to Su Sanan, "Look, they are just so ordinary."

Su Sanan touched his chin and said, "You look a bit like a beast in a novel."

"I've thought about that, too." Huang Tianzhen shrugged. "Unfortunately, I still haven't figured out how to train it to be as powerful as in the novel."

"Sure enough, Qingtong is the most powerful among us." Su Sanan leaned back in his chair. "I've also watched the recorded video of the strange live broadcast. His ability is said to be a gift. Is yours called a refinement? If you encounter something on the road, if you have the strength to spare, ask for weapon support. Of course, if you don't have the strength to spare, don't worry about us too much."

Qi Xing nodded and said, "When we came out, Lao Qin gave us a magical item that was quite useful."

"What a weird thing! They are both branches, why are they so different?" Huang Tianzhen leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Can I see it?"

Qi Xing and Su Sanan looked at each other, and Su Sanan took out an old medal from his schoolbag. The red star engraving on the front had become a little blurred, and the chain on it had long been broken. Only the pin on the back of the medal was still a little sharp.

"This was originally collected by the city branch. It was an old item of a deceased party member." After Su Sanan showed the item, he put it away properly. "Old Qin said that it is better to have this item. But he didn't say how to use it."

The salvation system spoke in Qingtong's mind: "It's a defensive weapon. It has weak power and is automatically triggered. It can probably only be used once."

Qingtong whispered to the system: "It's already very good."

As a monster with weak magical power, it actually has the ability to protect, which is a very good thing.

The train started again and continued to move forward steadily. For nearly two hours, several people began to chat about gossip, from family background to living environment. Su Sanan was indeed not a college student, but had entered society a long time ago. He was the oldest among the few people. According to Su Sanan, he graduated with a degree in computer science and found a good job when the campus recruited in his senior year. The company has a good prospect and does not treat subordinates unfairly. Although there is overtime, the salary is not low and there is also overtime pay. Therefore, Su Sanan stayed in the company very well.

Even though the strange live broadcast appeared and the red sun descended, Su Sanan always felt that those things were far away from him. He thought he would live a simple life like this.

The only thing that made Su Sanan realize that those things were not far away from him was that his cousin Qi Xing was assigned to the weird response department because of his good performance in the army.

Before Su Sanan could worry about his cousin's future, he encountered something strange before his cousin, and then luckily woke up.

"The day I woke up, I should have been promoted and given a raise." Su Sanan sighed as he stared at the ceiling of the train. "I finally managed to get a job, but ended up changing my field and having to start all over again."

Moreover, he jumped from a civil servant to a military servant in one go.

"I didn't want to come here originally, but my abilities have been out of control." Su Sanan raised his hand and said, "My fingers are constantly leaking water, and I can't type the code properly at all."

After scrapping five keyboards and two notebooks, his boss smiled and chatted with him, asking him if he needed to go to the Weird Response Department for training before returning to work.

Go and practice for a few months and then come back? What a joke, the programmer industry is not easy to work in, basically you have to study while working, and computers are developing rapidly. If you keep using old code, you will soon be eliminated. If he doesn't touch these for a few months or even a year, he will probably have no place for himself when he comes back, and he will need to replenish his knowledge.

"So I just quit." Su Sanan waved his hand and said, "The salary offered by the Weird Response Department is much higher, and the benefits are good. It's not bad to change jobs."

At least it's a golden rice bowl. As long as weirdness doesn't disappear, he won't lose his job.

Looking at the current situation, there will probably be a lot of weird things in the future.

It's not a bad idea to train yourself more so that you can have the ability to save your life.

Then, Su Sanan entered the strange response department. Coincidentally, his cousin was also there, and the two had a close relationship and a tacit understanding. So the boss directly sent them both out to go to the capital to practice as a team.

"Everyone is the same." Huang Tianzhen said to Su Sanan.

The two seemed to get along very well, talking and laughing happily.

Qingtong opened his cell phone and took a look. It was already 2:05 in the afternoon.

"The next stop is Je City, right?" Qingtong said, "What time does it arrive?"

Huang Tianzhen thought for a moment and said, "Two and a half."

Qingtong: "Really? It's already five minutes, why hasn't the train stopped yet?"

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent and looked at their phones.

"Do you think the train might be delayed?" Huang Tianzhen said in a somewhat uneasy voice.

Qi Xing answered him: "Unless there are special circumstances, such as encountering extreme weather or stopping at other stations for a longer time due to unexpected circumstances. Otherwise, it is impossible."

Moreover, even if the train is delayed, it will notify you.

"Then let's wait and see?" Huang Tianzhen asked uncertainly.

Baxiong’an: “Wait and see.”

Ten minutes later, the train was still running steadily, with no intention of stopping.

Qingtong's face darkened as he heard the system's prompt.

Weird, appeared.
