48 Hours a Day

Zhang Heng drove the A4 off the elevated highway and drove a little longer, and found that the chasing soldiers behind him had not followed, so he also slowed down a bit.

Because the previous gunshots and car accidents attracted the attention of the police, Zhang Heng did not drive to the city center, but continued to drive outside the Fourth Ring Road. As he gradually moved away from the city, the traffic flow outside the window gradually became sparse. Up.

Zhang Heng did not take the expressway, chose the provincial road, and then went down to the county road. After driving for half an hour, he could already see the Tianlong beside the road, and there were rows of two-story small buildings. It seemed that they were newly built. For a long time, there was a faint light showing through, and the family was sitting in the living room on the first floor, watching a variety show together.

Zhang Heng reduced the speed to 20 miles, and then drove about 30 kilometers. The series of battles that just happened looked very lively, but it was not too dangerous to Zhang Heng. After all, he explored the site a day in advance and hid it. Weapons, and had already worked out an escape route before departure, and contacted Shen Xixi to help him eliminate the sniper.

Therefore, it was not surprising that he could break through all the way, but when he was temporarily out of danger and his tense nerves relaxed his vigilance, Zhang Heng unexpectedly gave birth to a rare feeling of not knowing where to go.

In his original plan, he got rid of the chasing soldiers behind him, and then stopped at zero, he would return to the city, replace this a4 with his own polo, and then drive away from the city. .

However, he did not have any arrangements in the middle of the gap.

Considering that he had to go back for a while, Zhang Heng finally did not drive anymore. After confirming that no one was paying attention, he stopped A4 by a corn field, which was about 100 meters away from the road, and there was a drought in front of it. The toilet blocks the car and is not easy to be seen by people on the road.

Zhang Heng turned off and got out of the car, looked at the corn stalks in the field and the lights in the distance. He was fascinated for a while, but when he turned his head, he saw a child about eight or nine years old looking at him on the other side of the road.

Zhang Heng subconsciously put his hand into his pocket, but only the magazine and two props were touched. Fortunately, the blood-stained suit was taken off by him and thrown in the car, so Zhang Heng left again. Before reaching A4, he opened the door, grabbed a head-shaking dog accessory stuck to the console, and threw it to the child.

The latter caught the head-shaking dog, held it in his hand and touched it for a while, then held it in front of his face and shook it, then turned his head and ran away. Zhang Heng estimated that he was going home, so he also leaned against the car door. on.

About ten minutes later, Zhang Heng heard footsteps again, thinking that it was the child who came back, but he didn't expect that this time it was another person walking beside him.

It has been more than three months since Zhang Heng met Cronos last time. Compared with the last time he met, Cronos is a bit fatter now, but his complexion looks very good. , And also deliberately wore formal attire tonight.

"We met again, you don't look surprised." Cronos smiled. "Sorry for being a step late, because I have another date on the other side that I have to go to tonight."

"What date?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"Farewell to an old friend. We have known each other for more than ten years, and she is leaving, so I went to see her off, but I rushed here immediately after the trip."

Cronos opened a pack of skittles while talking, poured it into his mouth, chewed twice, and then proceeded contentedly, "I heard about what happened on Greenland, and I believe you too I can understand why neither me nor your parents have told you your real life experience for so many years, purely because of that guy's...the setting is very unique. The more you understand it, the more likely you are to be caught by it. Focus on it."

When Cronos said this, he paused and saw Zhang Heng didn’t speak, so he continued, “Your parents brought you out of that city under the ice. I was trying to block the connection between you and that guy. There was an amulet left in his body, but now that amulet seems to have completely failed."

"So is this your plan? Give me extra 24 hours and let me participate in this game. You know that the transition between the game and the real time will accelerate the failure of the amulet in my body. If so, why did you back then? Do you want to give me that amulet again?" Zhang Heng asked rhetorically.

"To give you, and to give myself a chance." Cronos shook half of the skittles in his hand, "Do you want some?"

Zhang Heng shook his head.

"Now you know, I took people to bring you out of that city under the ice, but do you know why I did this?"

Cronos didn’t wait for Zhang Heng’s answer, so he continued, “Although I am the god of time, I can’t get rid of the law of time, or to be more precise, because I am The god of time knows more about how cruel things like time are. Like most ancient gods, I am also facing the trouble of aging. Compared with more than a thousand years ago, my strength is already inferior. I don’t know how much. Now, the number of my escorts has been decreasing, so I have to find a way to reverse this decline."

Cronos did not hide his ambitions, "You humans can gain strength through learning and training. You have no idea how much we envy you as gods. Take you as an example. I know you are unhappy and I deceived you. , By allowing you to participate in the game to speed up your emotional loss, but you did get a lot of growth from it, didn’t you? Look at you now. You have killed three gods, you can resist Thor, defeat Ann, and Being able to calmly break a bloody path from the siege and come here all the way, a year ago, these are unimaginable things."

"Do you want me to thank you?"

Cronos waved his hand, "It's not necessary. Of course I am selfish when I do this for you. I never deny this, but I also like the idea of ​​a win-win situation in your human management. You You know, I have been looking for ways to achieve a win-win situation with you over the years."

"and then?"

"I found it." Cronos did not swallow the half-pack of skittles left in his hands for the first time, but put it on the top of the car. "Our gods are different from your humans, we are born with powerful For us, many things have been doomed from the moment we were born, but fortunately, I did find a way to challenge fate. "
