Chapter 393 The Strange Man in Black Robe
"Forget it. The rewards for both routes are the same anyway, so I can just switch to another route."
Zhang Tuohai turned the car towards the tunnel.
The hiker's identity is unknown and his degree of danger is unknown, so Zhang Tuohai doesn't dare to take the risk easily.
Even though the reminder system did not give any warning, what if something went wrong and caused you to suffer a disaster?
Safety is still a priority.
The infantry fighting vehicle drove into the tunnel.
The tunnel looked extremely eerie and dilapidated, with gusts of damp air seeping out from it. Zhang Tuohai, who was in the first-person perspective, always felt like he was walking into a haunted house alone, and the surrounding atmosphere made him feel a little scared.
“Too much authenticity is sometimes not a good thing.”
Zhang Tuohai exited the first-person perspective mode and divided the spherical screen into several displays. Each display showed the surrounding conditions. This perspective was much better.
At least there is no such immersive sense of oppression.
The tunnel is deep and long, but after turning on the headlights, it becomes boring after a while.
There were nothing but mottled walls all around, not even a hint of any other picture.
This is not even as good as the winding mountain road.
Zhang Tuohai felt bored after watching for a while.
Just when he was about to find a game to play, suddenly, a notification sound rang. It was Hagrid who sent him a private message.
"Hey, man, your wine is really strong. I am still drunk now. I saw the gift you left behind. It really suits my taste. I can tell it is a fine cigar just by smelling it. I will give you this pistol as a thank you gift."
Along with the private message, Hagrid also sent a wooden box.
"My goodness, Hagrid can't drink much. He's already drunk after just one bottle of beer?" Zhang Tuohai looked at the time. It was already noon, and Hagrid had slept for most of the day.
Zhang Tuohai took out the wooden box.
Walnut box with gold stamped words on it: "To my best friend - Hagrid"
Zhang Tuohai opened the wooden box, revealing a strangely shaped pistol with a thick muzzle and various gears and hydraulic rods on the outside, full of steampunk style.
"The aesthetic style is very similar to Lilith's. If Lilith were still alive, the two of them would have a lot to talk about. Wait, what the hell is this?"
Zhang Tuohai looked at the bullets in the box with shock on his face.
Yes, it was shocking.
Since coming to this world, he has seen many types of bullets, from 9mm pistol bullets to 23mm machine gun bullets and even 105mm artillery shells, various special shrapnel shells and grapeshot, but he has never seen this kind of bullet.
It has a sharp warhead, a pure copper body, four stabilizing fins at the back, and a corrective propeller.
This is not a bullet at all, it can be said to be an ultra-micro missile.
Zhang Tuohai looked at the palm-sized ultra-micro missile and didn't know what to say.
What is the use of such a large missile?
If the power is too small, it is not as effective as a bullet. If the power is too large, it may easily affect yourself.
It's a completely useless thing.
However, this was Hagrid's kind intention after all.
"Send it to Lilina and see if she can crack it and reuse it."
Zhang Tuohai called 001 and gave the pistol and bullets to Lilina.
This thing is of no use to humans, but if it is equipped on a mechanical body, it might have some effect.
If it is converted into a machine gun, the effect will be greatly enhanced.
At least you don't have to worry about hurting yourself.
"Boss, it's time to eat." Wangcai called out from outside.
"Coming, coming." Zhang Tuohai washed his hands and sat at the dining table.
Wangcai brought out a large iron plate filled with roasted kidneys, leeks, oysters, and of course Zhang Tuohai's favorite garlic-roasted eggplant.
"By the way, choose a time to brine the remaining loaches and braise them in the evening," said Zhang Tuohai.
"Don't worry, it's already been prepared. If you weren't craving for kidneys at noon, you would have eaten them." Wangcai ate a bunch of kidneys and his mouth was full of oil.
"Hmm?" Zhang Tuohai narrowed his eyes, "What did you just say?"
"Hahaha, nothing much. I'll go see how the loach stew is going."
Wangcai realized he had said the wrong thing, so he caught three strings of kidneys, two strings of leeks, and ran away with eight oysters in his hand.
"This guy." Zhang Tuohai shook his head.
He already knew that Wangcai was just greedy and that was why he said he had a backache, so he prepared some roasted kidneys for him.
I don’t know why he eats so many kidneys. There are no female foxes here.
Zhang Tuohai was eating happily when an alarm suddenly sounded in the car.
"Commander, we found a fork in the road ahead, and a car is parked in front."
Xiao Ai said loudly.
"You can't even let me eat in peace. Let me see."
Zhang Tuohai hurried to the command room.
Sure enough, in front of the car, there was a car parked. The car was modified to be very advanced, a bit like Batman's chariot, and there was a person in a black cloak painted on the hood of the car.
Next to the car, there was also a man in a black cloak standing, blocking the center of the road.
"What does this guy mean?"
Zhang Tuohai frowned and looked at the man in the black cloak.
He felt that he was unlucky today and kept encountering strange things.
First, he met the dwarf Hagrid, then he encountered two strange homicides and found the body of his ex-girlfriend. Then he met a strange player walking on foot, and here a guy in a black robe stopped the car.
It feels like all kinds of monsters have gathered together today.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking the road?"
Zhang Tuohai turned on the loudspeaker and asked.
"My friend, why do you have to keep people at a distance? We are all gathered together by fate, so why not come down and talk?"
The black-robed man had a hoarse voice, like the cry of a crow.
Zhang Tuohai thought about it and decided to go down and take a look .
The main reason was that he had encountered too many strange things today and he wanted to figure out the other party's purpose.
However, before getting off the car, he still made various protective preparations.
While wearing a steam-powered exoskeleton, Zhang Tuohai said, "Xiao Ai, get your weapons ready. If there's any problem, kill him."
"Understood!" A stick figure came out from outside the screen and made an OK gesture to Zhang Tuohai.
All weapons on the infantry fighting vehicles were unloaded and in activated state.
"Okay, now you can tell me what you want to do?"
Zhang Tuohai, wearing a steam-powered exoskeleton, walked up to the man in black robe.
"Don't be so distant. We are all lost lambs. We should help each other in this world. I have a gift for you. Think of it as a gift between friends ."
As the black-robed man spoke, a bony hand stretched out from his sleeve, holding a cup with a black-covered book.
