Chapter 22 Invitation

Tonight, the work plan he made for himself was to repack the backpack supplies.

He felt that he only brought a few pieces of chocolate and compressed biscuits last time, which was actually unreasonable. First of all, although compressed biscuits can provide the body with calories for a whole day, they are too unpalatable. There is no time limit for quick success, no need to torture yourself.

Of course, when the ATV arrives, the "Gate of Moros" can be loaded, so that no matter where you go, it is equivalent to taking the basement with you, so it doesn't matter what food you prepare, and you can return to the basement to eat hot food at any time Is it not good?

"strangeness."

Chi Heng felt that he had overlooked something before, and stopped what he was doing, "If the 'Gate of Moros' can be carried anywhere, why didn't the old man put the gate on the research base, but on the ground somewhere? Secondly, the gate There is nothing around, how did the old uncle bring the door to this place? He couldn’t do it with his bare hands, right? He must have some means of transportation..."

Thinking of this, Chi Heng felt that his consideration of "Moros Gate" might not be prudent enough, but currently he has too little information, so he can only take one step at a time and make a comprehensive judgment after he has more information.

"A dozen pieces of candy, a box of energy bars, soda crackers with a can of cheese sauce, two boxes of instant coffee, caffeinated xylitol chewing gum, waterproof matches and lighters, napkins, wet wipes, seasonings (salt, sugar) , black pepper, chilli sauce), a frozen steak..."

Packing up the supplies, why did Chi Heng feel that he was not going on an adventure, but more like traveling or camping?
"Adventures can't be harsh on yourself..."

Chi Heng continued to clean up. In addition to food supplies, there are more importantly medicines. These first aid medicines and bandages can save lives at critical moments.

After packing up the whole set, if you add a single-person tent, the weight is almost 20Kg. This weight is destined to not be able to hike for a long time, nor can it go far.

"I still need to lose weight."

Chi Heng scratched his head. Without much experience, he could only learn slowly in practice.

However, he added money, and the manufacturer should deliver the ATV soon, without having to wait half a month.

On the second day, he got up at five o'clock in the morning on time. After Chi Heng washed up, he made a breakfast and ate, grabbed the backpack that had lost weight, and walked to the basement warehouse.

When the waiting time came to six o'clock in the morning, Chi Heng carefully opened the "Moros Gate".

Once again his guess was confirmed, the sky on the opposite side of the world was dark, but there were no red and black clouds and mysterious and dangerous shadows.

"On May 5, the second exploration of 'Absolute Boundary' was launched."

Chi Heng took out a gel pen and wrote this passage in his notes.

Looking back at the "Gate of Moros", Chi Heng gently closed it, and then went in the direction he identified last time. In fact, he didn't know if this was the road from last time, a drizzle and strong wind Afterwards, the environment at the scene seemed to have changed. He walked more than 500 meters, but he did not find the metal telescopic pole and the red flag hanging on it.

It wasn't until he searched around for more than ten minutes that he finally found the telescopic pole and the red flag that had fallen into the muddy water.

"The weather here changes so quickly that the telescoping poles can't handle extreme weather."

Chi Heng sighed. With this change, he had to temporarily suspend the exploration of "Juejie". Last time, if he hadn't carefully inserted the telescopic pole and the red flag to guide the way, he would really get lost and couldn't get back in time.

"Need to order a batch of steel drills."

Just do it when you think about it, Chi Heng interrupted today's exploration plan, returned to the basement, took the elevator to the outside, and drove to the town.

Speaking of which, remote places have remote benefits. For example, the haunted house of Lake Shea, people in the town dare not come to Lake Shea, and this old house has not been approached for ten years. Therefore, when Chi Heng came, He didn't need to go through any inheritance delivery procedures, and his identity was recognized by the black sheriff, so the residents of the town didn't have to worry about it. Otherwise, in legal terms, he was not the owner of the old house.

This is a loophole, but it's a pity that the old uncle didn't leave a will for him, everything happened too fast, making it impossible for Chi Heng to inherit the real estate of this old house smoothly.

Slowly driving to the town, Chi Heng inquired and found out that if you want to buy steel brazing, you can go to Winchester Machinery Company to buy it, which is the only machinery company in the town and nearby.

Winchester Machinery Company is located on the outskirts of the town. A huge warehouse is their company site. When Chi Heng walked in, he saw a lot of workers. It is said that this company supports more than 100 workers in the town. The main customers From the state capital of Maine.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the external nature of this company that their "temperament" is different from other people in the town. Here the manager received Chi Heng and learned that he was going to buy 200 steel brazes. It's very straightforward to let people go to pull the goods directly.

He also asked the workers to help carry the goods onto the pickup truck, and gave him a sledgehammer by the way, so Chi Heng didn't have to worry about the whole process.

Chi Heng was in a good mood about this, and he was about to drive back the way he came. Unexpectedly, just after crossing a bridge, he accidentally found a black Lincoln sedan behind the car.

Strangely enough, he hadn't come across another vehicle on this road back to Lake Shea since he'd been here.

What's more, the Lincoln car is relatively expensive at first glance, and it doesn't match Dock Town at all. Generally, no one in this kind of town will drive this kind of car.

Is it for yourself?

Chi Heng stepped on the brake slowly, and put his hands in the camera obscura under the co-pilot's seat. After reading the old uncle's notes, although he would not take the "Red Dragon" with him at any time, he also prepared a foldable engineering shovel. .

The Lincoln car also slowed down after Chi Heng stopped the pickup truck, and drove slowly to the window of the pickup truck. The co-pilot seat of the Lincoln car lowered the window, revealing an old man in his sixties wearing a straight suit. face.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Chi?"

The old man had a firm face, spoke softly, and looked very polite.

Chi Heng didn't relax his vigilance, "Who are you?"

"Adelaide Hansen," the old man got out of the car and bowed respectfully, "I am the steward of Aldas Manor. I am entrusted by the owner of the manor, and I invite you to come to the manor for a briefing, sir."

"Aldas Manor?"

Chi Heng's expression changed slightly, and he immediately refused: "Sorry, I just came to Dock Town, and I don't know your master. Your master has found the wrong person."

"No, the master will not find the wrong person, you are Justo Chi, and your uncle is Stanley Chen," the butler shook his head, "Please don't worry, we have no ill intentions towards you, your uncle Stanley Chen Chen, once saved my master's life, so this time I heard that his nephew is here, and I want to ask you about your uncle."
