Chapter 1364: Chapter 1364 – Long Journey

Zhang Heng waited until midnight in the cornfield before returning to the city in the A4 that had its headlights knocked out.

After that, he first found a bank and used two bank cards to withdraw a total of 40,000 yuan in cash from the ATM. Even though the rental cars had already been insured, zhang Heng still placed 20,000 yuan in the trunk as additional compensation for the head injury.

Then, he threw away his bank card and credit card and stuffed the remaining 20,000 yuan into his backpack to pay for the rest of the trip. Other than that, Zhang Heng also cleaned up the car of the A4 before he left. After making sure that there were no fingerprints or hair left behind, he returned the A4 to the car rental shop.

By the time he returned to his hotel, the starfish in his hand had already pointed to three o’clock. There were still 21 hours left before the time freeze ended, and after the previous experience.., zhang Heng was also worried that he would fall asleep while driving, so he didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he laid down on his bed while there was still time to test out whether the newly acquired item would work.

The usage of [ immune crystal ] was as simple as its description. It only needed to come into contact with the skin to take effect. Furthermore, it was small enough that it could be carried around on one’s body during normal times, however, the drawback was that it would take effect when it was attacked by a soul attack. The number of times it could be used was something that could not be controlled by humans.

Therefore, if you did not want to use up the number of times it could be used, or if it had a specific purpose, it was best to put it somewhere. Zhang Heng had prepared a tule tree box specifically for it.

However, he had already held the crystal in his hand. Then, Zhang Heng took off his shirt and lay down on the bed.

As he closed his eyes and relaxed his mind, sleepiness gradually took over his brain. Zhang Heng could feel himself falling and being pulled into a strange dream, but at that moment.., a warm current suddenly came from the position of the crystal in his palm.

Then, his body seemed to become lighter, as light as a feather, and his falling momentum was interrupted.

Then, a gust of wind came from somewhere and lifted his almost weightless body up again. At that moment, Zhang Heng felt that not only had he stopped his falling momentum, but he had also turned from falling to rising.., he started to distance himself from the nightmare that was about to devour him.

However, the nightmare did not seem to be willing to let him leave just like that. Therefore, from a certain point in time, the power of the descent suddenly increased again. The darkness below was like a monster with its mouth wide open, swallowing everything in its path, it was as if it wanted to suck everything into its stomach.

In order to resist the sudden suction, the upward wind also became stronger. The two seemed to be competing with each other, so Zhang Heng, who was a feather, was frozen in mid-air.

However, the stalemate did not last long. With a faint whizzing sound, the upward wind finally suppressed the downward suction and brought Zhang Heng up, they were temporarily out of the Dark Abyss.

However, Zhang Heng knew very well that the “Thing”under his feet had not disappeared. It continued to lurk there, waiting for the sudden upward wind to disappear, waiting for Zhang Heng to fall again, it fell into its mouth again.

However, its plan was ultimately unsuccessful. Zhang Heng floated for a while more before he saw an open door appear above his head. When he passed through the door, the door slowly closed behind him, it completely isolated the “Thing”below from him.

Then, Zhang Heng found himself standing in a white room. The room was empty. Other than a chair, there was no furniture, no windows, no doors, and not even a speck of dust, it was so clean that it was… spotless.

Zhang Heng looked around and sat down on the only chair. This place might be empty and boring to others, but to Zhang Heng.., he had many ways to pass the time here..

Zhang Heng slept for a full ten hours. Not only did he recover his energy and stamina, the exhaustion from before was also gone. After opening his eyes, he went to the bathroom to take a shower and eat something, after that, he brought his luggage to the parking lot and sat in his polo.

Zhang Heng did not set a destination. He only set a general direction to the southwest and drove for eight hours straight.

Sometimes it was on the highway, sometimes it was off the highway to the provincial road, County Road, and even the roads of an unknown village had his tire tracks left behind. It was not until the flow of time in the outside world resumed that Zhang Heng stopped, he filled up a car with gas at a gas station and used the cash to buy some food from the convenience store at the gas station. Then he continued on the road without resting.

On the road after that, he repeated the two things of driving and filling up the car. He didn’t go to the hotel even when he rested. He just laid the back of the car down and narrowed his eyes for a while. Other than that, Zhang Heng also confirmed one thing.

The nightmares that he was experiencing right now had a pattern to them. Even with the extra 24 hours, they would only appear once a day, and if he could find a way to stop them.., the Nightmares wouldn’t appear again for the rest of the day. For example, when Sage attacked him, and when he used the [ immune crystal ] last night, not only did he finally get a good night’s sleep, he even took a nap on the way, he wasn’t troubled by nightmares either.

Zhang Heng silently noted this down. After drinking the bottle of mineral water in his hand, he continued to drive forward. Because of the rain, the Nameless Road before him had become muddy, fortunately, Zhang Heng adjusted the height of the Polo’s chassis before he set off. He increased the shock absorption spring, and at the same time, he changed the tires with a larger diameter so that they could pass through better.

Thus, the Polo drove along the winding path towards the mountains.

At the same time, on the other side, a large-scale search operation began.

Although the three major guilds had reached an agreement on this matter, their attitudes were indeed slightly different from each other. Among them, silver wing was the most active, they had clearly stated that they hoped to get rid of this huge threat as soon as they found Simon. On the other hand, the people from the second front were more steady and did not object to getting rid of Simon, however, if there was a chance, they would not refuse to sit down with Simon and look for another solution. As for light arc, who had always been the most unyielding, this time, they unexpectedly expressed that they should first show respect before taking action, if they couldn’t come to an agreement, then they would take action.

But no matter which party it was, their primary goal was to find Zhang Heng first.
