At a public phone booth outside the city, Zhang Lu took out a few coins hidden in his crotch.
The phone rang three times.
"Hello!" Although the contact has been lost for a long time, the voice is still familiar, but it is a little more old and tired.
"Hey!" Zhang Lu paused for a few seconds, swallowed his saliva, and his voice was a little dry.
"Big fat!" came the surprised voice of an old classmate from the other side.
Zhang Lu breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile on his face. He was still so careful and cautious, but it made Zhang Lu feel more relieved.
In the past few months, Zhang Lu had not thought of joining some other friends, but it turned out that once he made contact first, the area around the other party's house would be surrounded by police spies. If Zhang Lu hadn't been careful, he would have been arrested long ago.
"Where are you?" No more unnecessary words were said.
"Who made the call? It was in the middle of the night!" A soft female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"There's something going on at the mine. You go to bed first."
"I'm in a phone booth in the north of the city, close to a... Big Pan Chicken," Zhang Lu said.
Snapped!
The phone was hung up.
Zhang Lu walked out of the phone booth, then turned and walked into the buildings near the outskirts of the city. Adansur City is located at the junction of the desert and the oasis. It is backed by the rich Nanfeng Mountain, but facing the most indifferent desert wind and sand.
.
Although the side near the desert is the main entrance, it looks desolate. A series of extremely desolate buildings eroded by the wind and sand stand alone there, standing on tiptoes and looking into the distance.
Finding a hidden alley and squatting down, Zhang Lu hid himself in the shadows, holding the iron knife that was already full of gaps in his right hand. On his dark and slovenly bearded face, only his eyes were as sharp as swords.
Buzz!
The sound of the high-powered off-road vehicle's engine came closer and closer, the headlights illuminated the phone booth, and a fat man in a black coat jumped out of the vehicle.
Looking at that fat face, one can vaguely make out the outline of the past.
He came alone.
In the dead of night, if there is any unnecessary traffic noise, it will be difficult to hide it from others.
Zhang Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief and moved out of the corner.
The big fat man also noticed Zhang Lu and hesitated for a moment before striding over.
"Zhang Lu?"
"it's me!"
Before the greeting was finished, the fat man didn't mind the filth and smell of Zhang Lu and gave him a firm hug.
"I've heard about your matter. I'm going to hang out with you from today on. I'll get you an ID card in a few days. However, the ancestors may have to change. The identity of the Wei people in this place is difficult to deal with.
"
"Just have an identity!"
The big fat man stared at Zhang Lu: "I have endured a lot of hardships and have aged a lot. What did I say back then? This is a society where everyone is more ruthless than anyone else. You don't believe it."
Zhang Lu said: "You seem to have gained a lot of weight. It seems that your life is becoming more and more comfortable."
"You're so comfortable! You don't know how many things I have to worry about every day. I still have so much fun back then! I play games and eat takeout when I'm hungry. There are so many things to worry about."
"Get in the car, I'll take you to tidy up your image first, and then find two foreign girls to take a bath with you. Don't worry, they don't know how to read or understand. We all look the same. They only recognize money but not people.
I won't know about you." The big fat man pushed Zhang Lu and got into the car.
The off-road vehicle drove into the city like a breeze. As it went deeper into the city, the desolation that belonged to the desert gradually faded away.
In addition to the unique architectural style, the same neon fills the night and is shrouded in feasting and feasting.
Zhang Lu sat on the sofa in the room arranged by Yan Yu for him. He declined his offer to take a shower together and turned on the TV to the Mandarin channel.
There has been no news about him in the news for six months. Even the evil deed of killing his wife and children is not worth having a huge country surrounding him every day.
I searched the Internet on the computer in my room and found that the popularity of things about him on the Internet has not completely subsided. There are still a lot of people in some forums and forums who are criticizing him in various ways, as if they cannot prove their greatness and justice otherwise.
.Of course there are always some government conspiracy theorist activities, but the truth is unexpected.
It's a pity that their words will always lack credibility.
For the first time in six months, Zhang Lu slept on a comfortable bed.
But he still couldn't sleep. When he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see the bodies of his wife and son in the sea of fire. They died with their eyes open.
The father and mother are still alive, but they are afraid that it will be difficult for them to survive in Shenlong City. They have a son of a murderer and a son who has done such evil things. They don't know how much criticism and difficulties they will suffer. Just think about Zhang Lu
I feel heartbroken and uneasy.
I couldn't sleep, so I just washed my face and got up to practice my sword.
He didn't know how to use a sword, so he could only learn some scattered techniques he had seen on TV. The simplest one was the lunge chop, which Zhang Lu would practice a thousand times a day.
Although there was only one sword, Zhang Lu believed that if he could practice this sword as fast as lightning, he would be able to cut off Qiao Jun's head in an instant without him being prepared.
He still has not forgotten revenge, he has just chosen temporary hibernation now.
The night passed quickly.
The nights in Adansur City are very cold, but when the sun rises, even if it is more than September, it can still make people extremely hot.
Yan Yu had some connections in Adansur City. His grandparents had roots here and he knew a few people from all walks of life. He quickly helped Zhang Lu get a new identity.
Now Zhang Lu has transformed into a minority, the Mor tribe. There are about 30,000 Mor tribes in Adansur City, so one Zhang Lu is not enough.
Zhang Luxin's name is "Wang Qiu", and he chose this name himself.
This name is actually a bit eye-catching, and Yan Yu is not satisfied with it, but he can't resist Zhang Lu.
Zhang Lu’s wife’s surname is Wang.
Even in Adansur City, Zhang Lu could not appear openly, so Yan Yu arranged for Zhang Lu to work in the mine under his name.
As for what kind of mine it was, Yan Yu didn't say it, so it seemed a bit mysterious.
Zhang Lu didn't pass geography when he was in school, so naturally he didn't know what special mineral deposits Adansur City had.
After packing his bags, Yan Yu drove Zhang Lu to the mine.
As soon as he left the city, the sky was full of yellow sand. Yan Yu took out a face towel and threw it to Zhang Lu, but he drove the car nonchalantly, stepped on the accelerator and increased the power and hit the huge monster-like sand.
Buzz!
The off-road vehicle rushed into the wind, sand and dust, and you couldn't see your fingers. The vehicle seemed to be driving at the gate of hell. You may even wonder whether the next moment, both the people and the vehicle will fall into the bottomless abyss.
Zhang Lu grasped the handle beside the car window tightly, although it was of no use.
"Don't worry! I have recorded the road conditions for hundreds of miles around Adansur City in my mind. If you have to use your eyes to see the road while driving in the desert, then just wait for death!" Yan Yu said with a smile.
The off-road vehicle rushed all the way through the terrifying sandstorm.
The car body was already covered with dust, and the wipers struggled feebly on the car window, trying hard to regain some clarity.
"How's it going? Isn't it exciting? This is a common occurrence. When a real big sandstorm comes, it would be terrifying. The whole Adansur seems to be buried directly." Yan Yu kicked the car door open.
, took out a mop from the trunk, rubbed it hard on the car window a few times, and finally saved the poor wiper.
The car drove on the road for nearly hundreds of kilometers and finally saw what Yan Yu called a mine.
There is a tall windshield wall on the north side, which is made of reinforced concrete. Now you can directly see the thick steel bars in the wall. Behind the windshield wall are two rows of old-looking buildings, but the funny thing is that they are very stylish.
It is modern. There are still abrupt towers standing on the front, back, left and right sides of the building. It is so earthy that it is hard to see what is going on.
Behind the building is a large mine pit. There is no machine operation during the mining operation. There is only an iron hanging basket to transport the workers down the pit.
"I say! This is too crude!" Zhang Lu looked at this weird mine with surprised eyes.
Yan Yu smoked a cigarette and flicked the ashes. This at least proved that there was definitely no oil or natural gas underneath.
"Now that we're here, I'll give you an explanation. This mine is not big, but it is rated A1 in the national notes." Yan Yu's words were astonishing.
"What?" Zhang Lu looked at this mine that looked more like a personal black mine in shock and couldn't believe it.
Although he didn't know much about the mineral deposits, Zhang Lu also knew that there were not many mineral deposits of A1 level in the entire country.
"Is it rare earth?" Zhang Lu asked.
Yan Yu shook his head: "It's more precious than rare earths. Hidden underneath is a special mineral called Nengjing. I don't know its specific use, but the country pays special attention to it. In fact, this mine is nominally
Mine, seriously speaking, I am just a fucking foreman. Every kilogram mined will be transported by thirty military elites by helicopter, and there is no way to leave the mine."
"Then it won't be dangerous if you bring me here to do things, right?" Zhang Lu asked.
Yan Yu said: "This is an opportunity for you. If you find enough energy crystals, it will attract attention, and your case may be overturned."
Zhang Lu was speechless, but his heart was moved.
Yan Yu could do this for him with utmost benevolence and justice.
Zhang Lu's entry-level job was very simple, but for the next three months, he just helped cook in the kitchen and helped clean the dormitory every day. This small mine was guarded by no less than a hundred soldiers overtly and covertly. These three
Apparently they also investigated Zhang Lu's identity during the month.
Yan Yu helped him get that fake identity so that he couldn't hide it at all.
However, Zhang Lu's true identity is more effective. He has been a guard and honest man for generations. Although he is a wanted criminal, in front of the real powerful forces, the strangeness cannot be hidden at all.
Three months later, one day... heavy snow blocked the entrance of the mine, and five absentees were directly blocked under the mine. Zhang Lu filled the vacancy and officially took up his post.
Three days before taking up the job, an old miner gave him a brief training.
"I think you've heard what's going on below, but what you've heard is far from enough. Now listen to me carefully. If something goes wrong, even if I sell you, you can't afford the compensation.
Just a little bit. So I hope you will remember every word I say."
When Zhang Lu heard this, he tensed up his nerves, stretched his ears, and listened carefully.
The opportunity to make a comeback was right in front of him, and he couldn't miss it.
Of course he didn't know at this time that a greater opportunity was waiting for him.
Lin Xi suddenly and inexplicably fell in love with him.
Is it because he is pitiful?
Haha... In all the worlds, there are countless people who are more pitiful than Zhang Lu, and among them, there are countless people whose pity is undoubtedly caused by Lin Xi.
Because he has any rare qualities?
Not necessarily!
Perhaps...the only thing that Lin Xi cares about is...
Zhang Lu's appearance was somewhat similar to that of his previous life in his memory, which he didn't know was true or false.
This is a coincidence.
But it was also Zhang Lu's luck.
Being caught by Lin Xi's eyes...his fate will inevitably be clearly arranged.
But he also broke free from the original shackles.
What he thinks and wishes in his heart at this time will definitely come true!
Fate had been unfair to him.
But now...even fate can no longer interfere with his trajectory!
