Chapter 9 Shields

After Qin Lun made a decision, he soon stopped wandering aimlessly. He first used Chris' credit card to buy a lot of materials, then called a large car rental dealer in New York, and called a convertible off-road vehicle and a driver.

Hertz is the largest car rental car in the United States, providing both self-driving and designated driving services. Given his unfamiliarity with ancient vehicles and another unspeakable purpose, Qin Lun still asked for a designated driving driver.

In less than half an hour, a convertible jeep off-road vehicle was parked in front of Qin Lun, and a strong black driver got off the seat. He was wearing a work clothes of the Hertz car rental store, took off his hat and held it in his hand, leaned over slightly, and opened the car door respectfully.

"Hello, is it Mr. Chris Harrison? I am your driver, you can call me Ford!"

Qin Lun showed a gentle smile and whispered to the pile of luggage beside him. At the same time, he handed the "Franklin" in his hand to the driver, patted his shoulder and said, "Please trouble you, Ford!"

The black man glanced at his luggage and shrugged helplessly. He had seen many wealthy business customers who wanted to travel outdoors. They always had contradictions in their understanding of camping, and even more ignorant than those otaku hikers.

In order to show off their own way into nature, they would always ask the car rental store for a convertible off-road vehicle and then bring a lot of useless outdoor supplies.

In fact, people like this will sleep in the car at night instead of sleeping in a tent. The interior space of off-road vehicles is much smaller than that of RVs. After loading these things, they can only sit and snore at night. Few people can tolerate long-distance trips of off-road vehicles, and they are better than just asking for a large RV at the beginning.

However, this has nothing to do with him. Mr. Harrison was very generous and gave him a photo of Franklin when he met. He would do whatever he said, and he was only responsible for sending people to his destination.

"There are really a lot of things! Outdoor tents, fishing rods, hunting knives, shovels, kettles...what is this, gasoline?" The black Ford put Qin Lun's luggage into the trunk one by one, and finally couldn't help asking, "Mr. Harrison, you should know that Arcadia's forest ranger won't let you bring gasoline into the forest, right?"

"That person... just call me Chris. This gasoline is not brought into the forest, it is for us to use on the way!" Qin Lun got into the car, pulled the baseball cap he just bought, let the brim cover his eyes, and leaned comfortably on the seat and pretended to sleep.

The black driver wanted to complain, "I know how to go to the gas station." But when I think about it, I swallowed the words into my stomach. Isn't it good for the customer to buy gasoline? When he returns, he can get an old invoice for the company to reimburse, so he thinks that the gas has been added.

Of course, Ford didn't know that Qin Lun was now entangled by strange mysterious forces and did not dare to go to the gas station. If there was a big explosion accident in that place, there would be no place to hide.

"And... bows and arrows?!" The black guy's face was a little strange, and he turned his head and asked again, "Chris, why don't you buy a hunting rifle? If you don't have a gun certificate, you can also buy a small crossbow!"

"The crossbow~ the bow is not convenient to bend! Okay, don't ask, I'll sleep for a while, and wake me up after the parking is stopped!" Qin Lun curled up on the wide seat, "Ford, the speed is slower, don't exceed 40 yards. As long as you do as you do, I will give you another 500 US dollars when you get to the place."

For ordinary people, crossbows and bows are easier to master than longbows and have higher accuracy, but for Qin Lun, crossbows and bows are too slow to wind.

As for the rifle, he wanted to buy one, but unfortunately he found several large gun shops and asked him to show his gun certificate. He didn't have time to go to the black shop to get a gun, so he had to make do with the match-grade pulley bow.

"Oh..." Ford was full of complaints, but when he saw that Qin Lun had a baseball cap on his face, he had to shake his head depressedly and tell himself that the customer is God!

The United States has a developed highway network, and most intercontinental highways are less traffic jams. Generally, the speed of the car will be 70 yards. The 40 yards are basically only more than 60 kilometers per hour, and the speed limit in the suburbs of the city has not reached. In the eyes of many people, this is the speed exclusive to women, or the level of an old lady.

However, in Qin Lun's eyes, the speed of the car takes into account both speed and safety. He actually didn't really fall asleep, just took a break. If the speed is too high, it would be difficult for him to escape if something happened on the intercontinental highway.

The purpose of his request for a convertible off-road vehicle is here. On the one hand, the off-road vehicle is more solid, and on the other hand, the convertible is easy to escape from the car. For this purpose, he did not even wear a seat belt for himself.

"Chris, get off the car and have something to eat. It's time for dinner!" About four hours later, the sky began to darken, and Ford "wakes up" Qin Lun at this time.

"No, we have been wasting a lot of time. If you go buy something, we will eat directly on the road!" Qin Lun smiled at the black buddy, ignored his resentment, and stuffed another Franklin into his hand.

"Okay, this is for tipping, otherwise I would definitely beat him to death... What does it mean that we have been wasting a lot of time, and it seems that it was my fault... If you hadn't had to limit the speed of 40 yards, you might have arrived in Arcadia now!"

While walking towards the roadside restaurant, Ford whispered in a low voice, venting all his resentment.

Qin Lun, who was sitting in the car, smiled indifferently. Although the distance was a bit far, how could he not hear it with his ears? However, he did not hold a grudge against his black buddy. Although this guy was speechless, he was quite satisfied after a few hours.

Qin Lun has been alert to the sudden attack of the mysterious force for the past few hours, and is also monitoring Ford with his gaze halo, so as not to speed up the off-road vehicle without realizing it.

However, although Ford was a little annoyed at some point and wanted to speed up the car, he finally suppressed it. His self-control ability was pretty good, and he was an honest person.

"Your chicken burrito!" The black guy came back soon and handed a food packaging bag to Qin Lun.

"No, I think your portion seems to be a little better." Qin Lun grinned, snatched Ford's burrito and drink from his other hand with a lightning move, and took a big bite without waiting for the black buddy to react.

"You...my cake, I have added a lot of stuffing..." Ford's black face slowly showed a hint of redness, and he stared at Qin Lun hard. Finally, he got on the car from the other side like a deflated ball, and ate the chicken burrito that should belong to Qin Lun in a quiet voice.

He felt that Qin Lun must be playing tricks on him now. No wonder he said he would still give him another serving. He probably would be ready to steal his name at that time.

Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and stared at the death list while observing Ford's reaction. After a while, he finally confirmed that neither of the food was poisonous.

This is the real purpose of Qin Lun's driver. He needs to avoid the mysterious power and get food and drinks from the black buddies indirectly.

He is an apostle, and an existence with mysterious power cannot see his mind, so it is definitely impossible to predict that he will exchange food with Ford. Ford is a driver he randomly designated in a car rental store, and is an X factor that mysterious power cannot control.

So is it possible that the mysterious power will kill him and Ford together? Or, the mysterious power ignores the X factor of the black buddy and involves an innocent life?

Qin Lun believes that this possibility is not great, otherwise, on the plane and in that car accident, the mysterious power could completely mobilize a larger and stronger law of cause and effect, leaving him inseparable from escape. For example: directly control an out-of-control ballistic missile to bombard the area where he is located.

Since the mysterious power has not done this, it means that it has certain restrictions. The most likely possibility is that it cannot take away innocent lives at will. The people killed by it or the characters in the plot are basically specific targets.

In this way, this mysterious power is not impeccable. Qin Lun doesn't care whether it's innocent or not. He can completely treat countless innocent people as his shield. Even if he doesn't need to meet with Hill and others, he can avoid the attack again and again.

However, this conclusion must be verified and tested by Qin Lun with his own life. In fact, while he is eating Ford's burrito, he is always holding on to the vomiting agent in his other hand to prevent poisoning.

He has the law body. Once he is poisoned, he will immediately show the poisoning status on the death list, and the emetic agent is completely in use.

Fortunately, until they finished eating, both of them were lively and healthy. Obviously, the mysterious power did not take action, or had already taken action, but was interrupted by Qin Lun's irregular behavior, and had to choose to retreat temporarily.

"Don't worry about food in the next few days!" Qin Lun licked his fingers and glanced at the big black man beside him coldly.

Ford's unhappiness soon disappeared, and this black guy was very cheerful. In his opinion, the customer just made a joke with him. Compared with his generous tips, it was completely unaware that Qin Lun was using his life to experiment.

"Don't be upset, brothers Ford!" Qin Lun said with a smile, "This way, I will hire you to participate in camping together. I will bear all your expenses. I will give you a tip that doubles your salary. How about it?"

"This... you don't have to do this, I'm not so stingy!" To Qin Lun's surprise, the black guy was stunned for a moment, and actually scratched his head and rejected his "good intention" with some embarrassment.

"Don't you really want it? I'm on vacation alone, and it's good to have a companion. You don't have to care too much!" Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and said calmly.

"Oh, buddy, I'm straight, are you sure it's not a gay?" Who knew that Ford moved a little vigilantly when he heard Qin Lun's words.

"Okay, pretend I haven't said it!" Qin Lun raised his hands friendly and expressed his surrender.
