Chapter 1266 Another Departure

Zhang Heng did not wake up on time at midnight Beijing time, which was not good news for him.

This meant that his ability to time-freeze might not be able to fully take effect on the thing in the city under the ice, and this discovery would undoubtedly affect his next plan.

Zhang Heng wanted to go to the city under the ice to take a look, but of course, he was not an iron-head. Whether it was the story that Sartrus told or the warning from Nyala TOTIP, they all showed how dangerous the place was.

Zhang Heng’s biggest reliance was his ability to stop time. In his original plan, he planned to find the city under the ice first and then wait for the extra 24 hours to arrive before going down, as for whether he should investigate and leave quietly after entering, or think of a way to deal with the huge figure in the palace, it would depend on the specific circumstances at that time.

But now, he might have to reconsider his trip to the ice plains.

In addition, he had a nightmare on his first night in Greenland, which was probably not a good sign. Zhang Heng had already met Dr. Baker and Sachus, both of whom had participated in the scientific expedition 18 years ago, and on their way to find the city under the ice, they began to suffer from nightmares.

After returning, the situation did not improve. Instead, it became worse. Even though the two of them lived in seclusion and avoided contact with the outside world as much as possible, they continued to languish. Eventually, one of them died, and the other went crazy.

Zhang Heng finally began to understand the torment the two of them had suffered over the years. He had slept for more than ten hours, however, Zhang Heng did not feel his mental and physical recovery. It was similar to before he went to bed, and he was drenched in sweat.

This was because his feelings were almost completely gone. Otherwise, just the apocalyptic scene in his dream would have been enough to put a strain on his mental state.

After Zhang Heng woke up, he went to the bathroom to take a shower to wash off the sweat that had stuck to his body. Halfway through the shower, he heard the sound of the doorbell from downstairs. It was not just one sound. In fact, in the past two minutes.., the doorbell rang almost continuously, one after another. It sounded very urgent.

Therefore, Zhang Heng had no choice but to wrap himself in a towel and go downstairs to open the door.

In the end, he saw Songjia, Alicia, and Olai standing outside the door. Olai was wrapped in bandages and holding the baseball bat in his hand, while Alicia had one hand in her pocket with a vigilant look on her face.

Zhang Heng opened the door, and Alicia subconsciously pulled out a pistol from her pocket. When she saw the person in front of her was Zhang Heng, she breathed a sigh of relief and put the gun away. “I called you several times and sent you many messages, but you didn’t reply. I thought something had happened to you, and I was so anxious that I almost called the police, but Alicia stopped me,”the translator said.

“OH, I just woke up. I haven’t had time to look at my phone yet,”Zhang Heng replied. At the same time, he turned sideways to let the three of them into the house.

After that, Zhang Heng spent five minutes to finish showering again. After putting on his clothes, he went back to his bedroom to take out his phone. As expected, he saw more than ten missed calls and about twenty new messages, most of them were from Songjia.

“Alethea and Olai contacted me and said that they’re preparing to leave. They’ve brought Sartrus back to the tribe and asked if you want to go with them,”said Songjia.

Zhang Heng had indeed promised to lend the Crazy Sartrus to the two Inuit for a period of time, but it was only for three days. Therefore, Alethea and Olai were already eager to bring Sartrus back to the tribe, they were still hoping to get information about the lost holy relic from Sartrus.

“Have you finished with the matter at the Art Museum?”Zhang Heng asked. Last night, he had created more than 30 corpses there in one go. In addition, he had destroyed many valuable exhibits during the fight, it was impossible for the art museum to open normally today. Zhang Heng didn’t want to attract the attention of the police and get into unnecessary trouble, so he needed Alessia and Olai, the two local tyrants, to deal with this problem.

Of course, they were only young people after all. It was probably their first time seeing blood that night, so they definitely didn’t have much experience. Fortunately, they still had their own tribes behind them, and the two of them didn’t disappoint Zhang Heng’s expectations of them, that night, they contacted the elders of the tribes and told them what had happened at the Museum of Art.

After an emergency discussion, the two tribes sent a team to take over the follow-up work.

Therefore, after Aliesia and Olai had treated their injuries, they could finally rush back to the tribe to look for Aliesia’s teacher, Kunajoo.

Aliesia said, “I also told my teacher that you arrived in time to save us last night. She very much welcomes you to visit our tribe as a guest. Moreover, if you really plan to go to that city under the ice, we can provide you with the best guide in your tribe. With him around, you will never have to worry about getting lost on the ice plains.”

After song Jia translated Alessia’s words, Zhang Heng added, “I’m very grateful for your teacher’s kindness, but there’s no need for a guide. You’ve heard the story that Sartrus told, so you should know that the closer we get to the city under the ice, the easier it will be for ordinary people to be affected. Moreover, the impact will likely be lifelong, and it will become more and more serious as time passes. So, I’m more than enough on my own. Also, I haven’t decided on an adventure yet.”

“It doesn’t matter. If you need anything, you can come to us. Not just Alicia’s tribe, but mine as well, “Olai said as he patted his chest, “When my wounds are healed, I can come with you. We’ve been looking for that evil spirit for a long time.”

Zhang Heng knew that his warning might not have had much effect. Some things were hard to understand without first-hand experience, so Zhang Heng did not say much. He turned to look at Songjia, “Help me with the translation for a few more days. I can pay you five times your salary.”

After leaving the bar last night, Zhang Heng had also discussed the salary with Songjia. However, at that time, the translator had already been replaced by Nyala Totipp, so the previous agreement could not hold up, zhang Heng had no choice but to talk to Songjia again.

The translator looked hesitant. After all, no one wanted to be involved after what happened last night. However, Songjia also knew that if she were to leave the responsibility here.., zhang Heng could not find a suitable new translator for the time being, so in the end, he decided to finish his last shift and go to Alexia’s tribe with Zhang Heng.
