Chapter 1253: Chapter 1253 – Nightlife In A Bar
Chapter 1253 Nightlife In A Bar
Although it was already very late, the bar that Songjia had chosen had been doing quite well on the island. There were quite a few people inside, some drinking and chatting in groups of twos and threes at the bar counter, some were playing pool at the side.
Zhang Heng wasn’t in the mood to pay attention to the people around him at the moment. He and Songjia picked a table near the corner and sat down.
Even though he had said that he wanted to come straight to the bar, he still went back to his room to change his clothes. He changed out of the bloodstained coat and washed his face. He looked much more normal now, after that, he drove to the bar.
Zhang Heng took the wine list and ordered three bottles of alcohol in one go. They were all very strong alcohol. Then, he passed the wine list to Song Jia, who was sitting opposite him. “Let’s see what you want to drink.”
Song Jia heaved a sigh of relief. When she saw Zhang Heng order strong liquor right away, she was alarmed. She thought this was another man’s trick, but she didn’t expect Zhang Heng to order all three bottles for her, song Jia then ordered herself a cocktail and a fruit plate and returned the wine list to the bartender.
After the bartender left, the girl couldn’t help but change the topic back to the previous matter. “Do you really plan to go to the northern ice field to find the city under the ice?”
“Yes, is there a problem?”

Faced with Zhang Heng’s retort, Songjia did not know where to begin. However, after spending more than half a day with him, they could still be considered friends. After some thought, she tried to persuade him, “Let’s not talk about how reliable that story is. I personally feel that this is just the collective imagination of a group of mentally ill patients. Even if what he said is true, you’ve seen what happened to him and Dr. Baker. Shouldn’t we find a way to get as far away from the underground city as possible? “Why are you still looking for it?”

“I came to Greenland to investigate this matter. Since I have a lead, I will continue to investigate,”Zhang Heng said, “You don’t have to worry too much about me. For some reason, the nightmares that caused Dr. Baker and Sachus to go crazy won’t affect me too much.”
“What about the extreme weather and harsh natural conditions? Greenland is in the Arctic Circle, and the place you’re going to is a no-man’s land. It Won’t be an easy journey.”
“Thank you for your reminder. I’ll set off once I’m ready,”Zhang Heng said.
Considering the impact that the city and the things inside had on the spirits of ordinary people, Zhang Heng did not plan to hire a guide this time. After all, with his ability to survive in the wild, it would not be dangerous for him to travel alone, as for the language problem, it was not very useful in a no-man’s land, and the monsters in the city probably did not speak Greenlandic.
However, before that, Zhang Heng still needed Songjia to help him purchase exploration equipment, supplies, and contact the ships. This was also the reason why Zhang Heng promised to increase Songjia’s commission, but Zhang Heng planned to discuss this later.
The bartender was quite efficient. Soon, the drinks and fruit plates ordered by the two of them were served.
Seeing that Zhang Heng did not seem to be interested in continuing the conversation, Songjia also turned his attention to the cocktail and fruit plates in front of him. It was probably because he had been stimulated by the strange and scary story from before, song Jia needed some alcohol to relax and calm herself down.
So the two of them started to drink. In the end, not only did song Jia finish the cocktail she ordered, but she also felt like she hadn’t finished it yet. After half a day, she had gradually let down her guard against Zhang Heng, so she drank some more of Zhang Heng’s hard liquor, even though it had almost half a glass of ice.

“I’m going to the washroom.”After another glass, song Jia got up from her seat and staggered toward the ladies’washroom. During this time, she met a man who wanted to strike up a conversation with her, but Song Jia shook her head, the man politely stopped in his tracks and waved the glass in his hand at her, wishing her a happy day.
Because she felt some physiological changes, song Jia even quickened her pace at the last moment. She dived into the empty ladies’washroom and chose a cubicle to release herself. After she was done, she flushed and walked out of the cubicle, she washed her hands and touched up her makeup in front of the sink.
Just as she lowered her head and applied some hand sanitizer on her hands and rubbed them repeatedly, the bathroom door was pushed open again. A figure quietly walked in.
If song Jia raised her head at this moment, she would definitely scream out loud.
Because the person who entered the bathroom at this moment had a face that was exactly the same as her. There was no difference in the way she dressed. Even if she took off her clothes, there was a birthmark on the lower left side of her chest, the shape and size were exactly the same.
In fact, other than the person’s gaze that seemed a little crafty, even her actions were exactly the same as hers. And this replica of her did not stop after entering the washroom, she walked behind her, reached out, and grabbed song Jia’s neck.
After about ten minutes, the door to the ladies’washroom opened again, and song Jia walked out. Her face was still slightly red, and her footsteps were still a little light, however, after she sat back down, she grabbed the bottle in front of her again, but the next moment, a hand grabbed the bottle of whiskey before she could.
“You’ve had a lot to drink tonight, so you should control yourself,”Zhang Heng said. “I ordered you a glass of lemonade.”
Song Jia smiled. After drinking, she had a kind of charm that she didn’t have during the day. This smile made many people in the bar turn their gazes over, “It’s okay, my alcohol tolerance isn’t that bad. Besides, didn’t you drink more than me? I wanted to ask you before. What’s wrong? Is There Something on Your Mind Tonight?”
Zhang Heng didn’t deny it. “I am indeed thinking about something.”
“Yes, it shouldn’t be about the exploration later. After you entered the bar, you didn’t really want to talk about it. This made me curious. You were so calm in the face of danger earlier. I was almost scared to death, but your mood didn’t change at all. It was as if nothing in the world could affect you,”song Jia said, “At that time, I began to wonder if this Chinese’s heart was made of stone.”
“My Heart is no different from other people’s.”Zhang Heng paused before adding, “Probably. Also, I was thinking about something at home.”
“HMM, are you thinking about your lover?”
“No, my parents.”Perhaps it was because they were thousands of kilometers away in Greenland, coupled with the fact that they had spent more than half a day together with Songjia, they had gone through so much together, zhang Heng gradually dispelled his suspicion and wariness toward the girl. On top of that, he also wanted to hear other people’s opinions on this matter. Thus, he said, “I realize that I don’t seem to be born of my parents.”
