: Both Ends of the Balance 70

How hot is the weather here?

Kai Xin’s true feeling is that she can feel the heat from the road under her feet through the soles of her sneakers. Looking around, the road in the distance is steaming with heat, the air is slightly distorted, and the figures passing by the end of the road seem to be deformed.

It was noon in the local area at this time, and five o’clock in the afternoon in Huaguo. Kui Xin and Yu Hanxue rested for a few hours, prepared their weapons, and transferred them to the small country where the reporter was located through precise positioning through the space vortex.

This small country is called Buintaba, and it is a poor and backward place. The political situation here is chaotic and wars are frequent, and people’s life is very poor. Journalist Rodriguez is based in Kodan, the capital of Buintaba.

“People on the street don’t wear parasols, we hold them like a stranger, so we don’t want to.” Yu Hanxue said cautiously, “Fortunately, we put on sunscreen… But I doubt that our skin will be damaged after we go back. It’s eight degrees darker, and if you’re not careful, you’ll get sunburned.”

“If we don’t wear parasols, we will be very eye-catching on the street.” Kui Xin complained expressionlessly, “A group of black people mixed with yellow people, and we also use local folk colored headscarves with modern clothes, so good Strange.”

In order to cover the sun, they were fully armed. When they passed by a stall selling colorful headscarves, they bought two, which could cover their faces and block the sun.

Yu Hanxue looked left and right, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

The locals don’t seem to have seen foreigners very much. The appearance of the two of them aroused strong crowds from the locals. The uncle who was riding a bicycle to pull goods turned his head while cycling, and almost hit the electric pole on the side of the road; the food seller on the street The white-haired old man stared at them intently with his black eyes; the woman carrying the objects on her head glanced at Kai Xin curiously, and the skinny child behind her timidly hid behind her, not daring to approach her.

Kedan is a backward and poor city. There is no surveillance on the streets, the roads are crooked, and the houses in the capital are very low. It was difficult for Kaixin to find a suitable place to cast the space vortex. She could only use the map to drive the vortex to a place where the buildings were not densely populated, and then walk to find Rodrigue.

In such a technologically backward place, Kuixin’s data manipulation is severely limited and rarely useful.Feeling thirsty, Yu Hanxue walked to the side of the road and said a word to the people at the booth that Kui Xin couldn’t understand, and even held out two fingers.

The black youth who set up the stall muttered something, and then Yu Hanxue took out three banknotes and put them on the stall.

The black youth counted the bills, took a clean machete from the chopping board, took out a small basket of bristly fruits from the wooden barrel under his feet, and began to peel the peeled fruits. The flesh of the peeled fruits was purple-red. , somewhat similar to dragon fruit. The black youth mashed the peeled fruit into a small plastic cup with a wooden hammer to make juice, and handed it to Yu Hanxue.

Yu Hanxue took the juice away and gave it to Kai Xin a cup: “Two hundred and fifty yuan a cup, the conversion of these two cups is about two yuan to us.”

Kai Xin took a sip, “What kind of fruit is this? It’s sweet.”

“It should be a kind of cactus fruit.” Yu Hanxue drank the juice and turned her head to search, “Oh, this is the capital, and I can’t even find a trash can.”

“Did you just speak the local dialect?” Kai Xin asked.

“Yes, I’m afraid he won’t understand.” Yu Hanxue said.

The streets of Kedan are too disorderly and chaotic. There are road signs in some places, but not in some places. Kai Xin and Yu Hanxue walked all the way to the city center, checking the map from time to time.

Several children followed behind them all the way, watching the two of them whispering.

“Are those children trying to steal something…” Yu Hanxue glanced back, the group of children looked back, and one of the leading boys hesitated for a moment, then came up to him.

“Sister, where are you going?” the boy said stumblingly, “There is no place in this city that I don’t know, I can show you the way, if you feel tired from walking, I can find a driver for you… But the driver’s money will be extra. I only need a small salary, just give me enough money to buy a naan…”

He seemed to know a little English. While speaking in dialect, an awkward English word popped out from time to time, and he gestured with both hands, almost expressing the meaning clearly.

Kai Xin and Yu Hanxue looked at each other, and nodded to him in unison.

Yu Hanxue said, “Let’s go find a car.”

The boy happily ran behind, and he waved to his partner. A group of children cheered happily, and disappeared after hulapao.

“Their clothes are dirty…” Yu Hanxue said sympathetically, “They are so thin that their ribs are sticking out.”

“The situation here has just stabilized, and people’s lives are not easy.” Kai Xin said.

Before waiting for three minutes, the children ran over pulling a donkey cart. An old man with lost teeth was sitting on the donkey cart. He watched them both and smiled subtly, muttering a dialect of blessing in his throat.

Yu Hanxue had never seen this battle before, and neither had Kai Xin.

Although the two of them had seen live donkeys, they had never ridden in a donkey cart, let alone ran around the city center in a donkey cart. This is the center of the capital, but it is not as prosperous as a small county town.

Tonglin City did not allow large livestock to go to the streets eight hundred years ago. If they encountered them, they would be chased away by the city management.

Kai Xin and Yu Hanxue looked at each other, finally got into the donkey cart with wry smiles, and walked through the city amidst the sound of the old man driving the donkey and the shouting of the children.

Gradually, the children who were running around the donkey cart couldn’t move anymore. The little boy who led nimbly climbed onto the donkey cart and waved to his companions: “I will come back with naan!”

The donkey cart arrived at the destination after running for more than 20 minutes.

Yu Hanxue counted out a few banknotes and handed them to the old man and the boy respectively.

The boy said cleverly: “When I saw you, I knew you were coming here.”

“Huh? How did you guess that?” Yu Hanxue sized him up.

“There are a lot of white people and yellow people here, only here, and almost no other places.” The boy said and waved to her, “Goodbye!”

Kai Xin watched the old man and the little boy disappear at the end of the street, and then turned around to look at the buildings behind them.

This building is clearly distinguished from the surrounding buildings. The building is six stories high. The exterior wall is painted with white paint. It looks tall and magnificent. There is a fence outside the building. There is an iron sign on the fence with a few lines of French written on it. , Kui Xin Kacha took a photo and translated it.

“This seems to be a special gathering area? There are many names of multinational companies written on the sign. This building should be a separate office building. Many multinational companies have offices here… Ah, I found Wei We have come to the right place.” Before the translation software recognized the result, Yu Hanxue read the sign, and she said, “Your contact person hasn’t come yet?”

“There are still five minutes before the appointed time.” Kai Xin said, “There’s no rush, just wait.”

The two leaned against the shadow by the wall, stared at the opposite office building and began to wait.

Through the fence, you can see a variety of vehicles of different shapes and brands parked in the yard downstairs of the office building. The locals even drive donkey carts around the city center, which shows how poor the local area is. These vehicles must be very eye-catching. .

Three minutes later, a brown-haired caucasian hurried down from the office building. He stood on tiptoe on the steps and looked around. He accurately locked on the duo of Kaixin whose skin color and dress were incompatible with the locals. .

Rodrigue walked across the road, looking back and forth between Kai Xin and Yu Hanxue.

He said in English with a slight accent: “Can you understand English? I can also speak French and German…”

Yu Hanxue immediately said, “I understand, are you Rodrigue?”

Rodrigue regarded Yu Hanxue, who was answering the conversation, as the speaker, and he stretched out his hand to shake hands with Yu Hanxue.hand, but she stepped back and said, “Excuse me, I’m not used to shaking hands.”

Rodrigue smiled, retracted his arms and said, “Yes, I am Rodrigue, just call me Rhodes.”

Yu Hanxue said: “I am Dusk, and she is Blue Bird. Please call us by code names.”

Rodrigue nodded, “Wait for me for a minute. I’ll go back and drive a car. I’ll follow up and ask for leave. I can drive you there.”

He ran back across the road again.

Yu Hanxue said calmly, “How is it? Is there something abnormal about him? Didn’t you say that he was injected with divine blood? I think he is quite normal…no mutation, no madness…”

“Extraordinary ability has an E-level flesh and blood regeneration, and a C-level ‘distorted sound wave’, which fits his description of his experience, and his combat power is not very threatening.” Kai Xin frowned, “The current situation should be terrible. Believe it… continue to observe.”

Rodrigue acted quickly, and immediately drove out a weather-beaten desert camouflage off-road vehicle. He honked the horn to remind Kai Xin and Yu Hanxue to get in the vehicle.

“Everyone is of the same kind, so there’s no need to hide anything. Black Snake sent you here to investigate and solve the problem, so we won’t waste any time.” He said, “I don’t know the exact location of the dark world in the first world. Knowing where the dark world of the second world is, the continental maps of the two worlds are a bit different, so we can only determine a rough location, and we have to spend time looking for it.”

Rodrigue bit a cigarette, was about to light it, and then put it down, “Sorry, I forgot that there are guests in the car. I always smoke when I’m stressed.”

As soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the car started and drove out of the street.

“Is your body alright?” Kai Xin asked in English.

Rodrigue said in a low voice, “It doesn’t matter…it doesn’t matter for now.”

“Please don’t hold back.” Kai Xin examined him, and changed the Chinese to allow Yu Hanxue to convey her meaning accurately, “One of the characteristics of people with different blood is that they can’t distinguish between enemies and friends after they go crazy. I like to put ugly words in front, If you suddenly go crazy under the erosion of the blood of the gods, or your body tends to irreversible mutation, I can only execute you.”

After listening to Yu Hanxue’s translation, Rodrigue finally realized that Kai Xin was the speaker in this two-person team.

He glanced back at her, “That’s great, please give me a good time then. There is a shotgun under the seat of the rear car, you can use it.”

Kai Xin bent down and touched a tennis bag. He opened it and saw that there was indeed a gun in the bag.

“You don’t look like a reporter.” Yu Hanxue said.

“I’m just a reporter, but to be a reporter in such a hellish place requires courage and a little sacrifice.” Rodrigue said, “Of course, courage and sacrifice are not enough, and additional skills are required, such as Will juggle with guns.”

Yu Hanxue said to Kai Xin in Chinese: “This foreigner is not only a war correspondent but also a combat reporter. It’s weird.”
