When Tio opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was an unfamiliar ceiling.

"Ah, you finally woke up."

Ling's voice came from the side, which made Tio gradually regain her consciousness. She turned her head and saw Ling sitting on another bed next to her, holding a heavy big book and flipping through it. She saw Tio wake up.

Come on, Ling winked at her.

"I didn't expect you to be so sleepy that you didn't wake up until now. Sure enough, you didn't sleep last night, okay?"

"Hey, no, um... I remember that I fell asleep normally last night?"

Hearing Ling's words, Tio sat up in confusion and answered. She remembered clearly that she went to bed on time and got up on time last night.

"Then why did you sleep in the car for so long?"

"this……………"

Facing Ling's curious inquiry, Tio frowned slightly and began to recall what happened this morning. She got into Fang Zheng's car, then the guided vehicle started, and then... the memory was interrupted.

"……………I forgot."

"You slept really well."

Ling rolled her eyes helplessly.

"It's a pity that there were so many beautiful scenery along the way. We also saw the airship of the palace guard."

"I don't think I died sleeping..."

Tio complained silently, then looked around and found that they were in a slightly shabby-looking hotel.

"here it is?"

"This is the resting point at the Haken Gate. We will rest here for a while and leave after the inspection. I see that the bearded grandfather seems to be quite interested in the big brother's car. I'm afraid he won't be able to leave for a while.

Woolen cloth."

At the same time, in the armory at Haken Gate, Fang Zheng, Tida and an old man with white beards, wearing military uniforms and a serious face were standing in front of "STARLIGHT", observing carefully.

"Although I have received notification from Her Majesty the Queen, your car is too strange."

Looking at the giant black beast with teeth and claws in front of him, the old man shook his head. He was General Morgan who was responsible for guarding the gate of Haken.

"And you actually said that it took you more than half a day to drive all the way from Chase to get here? This is as fast as an airship."

"After all, this is part of the test run."

Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

"We have adjusted the springs and anti-shock system to adapt to Lieber's road surface to the greatest extent. So far, the condition is not bad."

Of course, Fangzheng's STARLIGHT is not just a modified car. In fact, when designing it, Fangzheng made reference to the ground vehicle system in the Mass Effect world. After all, those vehicles are used to travel in various environments on alien planets.

Basically, as long as it is not vertical at 90 degrees, you can climb at will. Even if you rush down the mountain, your center of gravity will automatically adjust to the point of fall...

Although guided vehicles have not yet become popular, the roads in Liber Kingdom are not the highways and asphalt roads of the Founder's era, but for this black monster that has been modified and designed with a high-tech world landing vehicle, it is naturally not

question.

"Don't let such a good thing fall into the hands of the empire."

General Morgan snorted.

"If you ask me, you should just stop going to any empire. Those empire people are very bad. If they see such a good thing, they will definitely try their best to seize it."

Although the Kingdom of Liber and the Empire have signed an armistice agreement and restored peace, soldiers like General Morgan will certainly not forget the lessons of the "Hundred Days War" and will not have a good impression of the Empire.

Already.

"Then it depends on whether they have the courage...and I'm not someone to be trifled with."

"I hope, hey...if I were Her Majesty the Queen, I wouldn't let such a good thing go out..."

Looking at the car in front of him, General Morgan liked it more and more. He had just been invited by Fang Zheng to ride in this car for two laps, and it felt quite good. Even on the rugged mountain roads, this car was as smooth as walking on it.

It's on flat ground, and it's so fast that it looks like it's about to take off. As a general, he certainly understands the benefits of this kind of vehicle. It's a good choice for both transportation and reconnaissance.

So as for General Morgan, he is not willing to let the empire see such a good thing.

But since the Queen agreed...there was nothing he could do.

"After the test is completed, if the army needs it, we will provide the blueprints... In addition, even if the empire cuts this thing into pieces, they will not be able to build it."

Of course, Founder is full of confidence. Just like chips, these can only be made using Founder's manufacturing machinery. Even if the Empire steals one and tries to build it by hand, it will be in vain.

If the problem can be solved by human hands, what kind of machine tools are needed?

"Anyway, if anything happens, just come to me, I'll always be here."

"Okay, thank you General."

After conducting a comprehensive overhaul of the entire vehicle and confirming that there were no problems, General Morgan also issued customs clearance certificates to Fang Zheng and others. When Fang Zheng and Tida came out again, they happened to see Ling and Tio.

"Hey, did you sleep well?"

Looking at Tio in front of him, Fang Zheng waved his hand and said hello, while Tio hesitated for a moment.

"I have no idea."

"Um?"

"She said she didn't remember anything."

Ling also interjected at this time, while Fang Zheng laughed.

"That's good. The lack of dreams is evidence that you slept soundly."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, now that you've woken up, let's continue on our way."

"Don't you want to stay here for one night?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Ling glanced at the sky curiously. They went out early in the morning, and it was already afternoon when they arrived at the Haken gate. In addition, they had just performed inspections and maintenance, as well as customs clearance and other operations.

It was already sunset, and she originally thought that Fang Zheng would take everyone to stay here for one night, and then continue on the road the next day.

"Haha, you will know when the time comes."

Fang Zheng chuckled, but did not answer Ling's question directly, and then walked towards the car not far behind him. At this moment, Tio also raised her head, and when she saw the black giant car, her face suddenly changed.

He turned pale, then his legs went weak and he sat down on the ground.

"What's wrong? Tio?"

Seeing Tio's appearance, Ling looked at her suspiciously, and the latter seemed a little surprised herself. She lowered her head and looked at her slightly trembling hands.

"I don't know why, but I suddenly feel a little scared..."

"Afraid? Are you afraid of the dark?"

"No……………"

Tio didn't know how to answer, and she didn't know what happened. It was as if her body was completely out of control of reason and she was instinctively afraid of something.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

At this moment, Tida also came over with a worried expression.

"Why don't we rest here for the night?"

"I am okay."

Tio shook her head, then she took a deep breath, then took control of her body again, and then stood up.

"let's go."

After getting in the car again, they passed through the Haken Gate and the group continued to move forward. This time Fang Zheng did not continue to drive fast. After all, it was getting late, and the roads here were also mountainous and not easy to walk. If you have an 86

, Fang Zheng doesn’t mind comparing with it, but there is nothing nearby... Naturally, there is nothing to compare with.

After passing the eighteen bends on the mountain road, as night fell, Fang Zheng parked the car in an open space halfway up the mountain.

"Okay, get off the car."

"???"

After hearing Fang Zheng's order, the girls got out of the car doubtfully and looked around.

"Are we staying here for the night today?"

Tiida looked curiously at the sky above her head.

"Oh, yes."

"Hey? But we don't even have sleeping bags. Are we supposed to sleep in the car?"

After hearing this, Ling immediately complained.

"If that's the case, big brother, you might as well let us rest at the Haken Gate for the night."

"It's true that I slept in the car, but it's different from what you thought."

As he spoke, Fangzheng motioned to the three girls to move aside, then took out the car key from his pocket and lightly pressed the "STARLIGHT" in front of him.
