After Qin Lun made a decision, he soon stopped wandering aimlessly. He first used Chris's credit card to buy a lot of material, then called a large rental car company in New York, called a convertible SUV and a driver.
Hertz is the largest car rental company in the United States, providing both self-driving and driver services. Due to his unfamiliarity with ancient vehicles and another ulterior motive, Qin Lun still asked for a substitute driver.
In less than half an hour, an open jeep stopped in front of Qin Lun, and a strong black driver got off the seat. He was wearing the overalls of the Hertz car rental company, took off his hat and held it in his hand, bent slightly, and opened the car door respectfully.
"Hi, is this Mr. Chris Harrison? I'm your driver, you can call me Ford!"
Qin Lun showed a gentle smile, pouted at the pile of luggage beside him, and at the same time passed the "Franklin" in his hand to the driver, patted his shoulder and said, "Please, Ford!"
The big black man glanced at the luggage and shrugged helplessly. He has seen many wealthy businessmen who want to go on a field trip. Their knowledge about camping is always contradictory, and they are even more ignorant than those nerd friends.
In order to show that they are in nature, they will always ask for a convertible off-road vehicle from the car rental company, and then bring a lot of useless field supplies.
In fact, this kind of person will sleep in the car at night, not in the tent. The interior space of off-road vehicles is much smaller than that of RVs. With these things installed, they can only sit and snore at night. Few people can tolerate long-distance travel in an off-road vehicle. It would be better to simply have a large RV in the first place.
However, this has nothing to do with him. This Mr. Harrison is very generous and gave Franklin a card when he met. He did as he said, anyway, he was only responsible for sending people to their destinations.
"There are so many things! Field tents, fishing rods, hunting knives, shovels, kettles... what is this, gasoline?" Black Ford put Qin Lun's luggage into the trunk one by one, and finally couldn't help asking, "Mr. Harrison, you know the rangers in Arcadia won't let you take gasoline into the forest?"
"Who...you can just call me Chris. The gasoline is not brought into the forest, it's for us on the way!" Qin Lun got into the car, pulled on the baseball cap he just bought, let the brim of the hat cover his eyes, and leaned comfortably Dozed off in the seat.
The black driver wanted to complain that I knew how to get to the gas station. But when he looked back, he swallowed the words abruptly. Isn’t it good that the customer has already bought gasoline, and when he goes back, he can still get an old invoice for reimbursement to the company, and it will be regarded as having refueled.
Of course, Ford didn't know that Qin Lun was now being entangled by a strange and mysterious force, so he didn't dare to go to the gas station at all. If there is a big explosion in that place, there is nowhere to hide.
"And... bows and arrows?!" The black buddy had a strange expression on his face, and he turned around and asked again, "Chris, why don't you buy a shotgun? If you don't have a gun license, you can also buy a small crossbow!"
"It's inconvenient to wind the crossbow! Well, don't ask, I'm going to sleep for a while, and wake me up after parking!" Qin Lun curled up on the wide car seat, "Ford, slow down, don't exceed 40 yard. If you do, I'll tip you another five hundred dollars when we get there."
For ordinary people, the crossbow is easier to master than the longbow, and has higher accuracy, but for Qin Lun, the winding of the crossbow is too slow.
As for the rifle, he wanted to buy one, but unfortunately, he found several large gun stores and asked him to show his gun license. He didn't have time to go to black shops to buy guns, so he had to use a competition-grade pulley bow to make do.
"Oh..." Ford was full of complaints, but when he saw that Qin Lun had covered his face with a baseball cap, he could only shake his head dejectedly, and said to himself that the customer is God!
The road network in the United States is well developed, and most of the interstate highways have less traffic jams, and the general speed will be 70 yards. And 40 yards is basically only more than 60 kilometers per hour, and the speed limit in the suburbs of the city has not been reached. In the eyes of many people, this is a speed exclusively for women, and it is still at the level of grandma.
However, in Qin Lun's eyes, this speed took both speed and safety into consideration. He didn't really fall asleep, he just took a nap to rest. If the speed is too high, it will be difficult for him to escape if there is an accident on the interstate.
This is why he wants an open-top off-road vehicle. On the one hand, the off-road vehicle is more sturdy, and on the other hand, the open-top is easy to jump out of the car and escape. For this purpose, he didn't even fasten himself a seat belt.
"Chris, get out of the car and have something to eat, it's dinner time!" About four hours later, the sky began to darken, and Ford "shaked Qin Lun awake".
"No, we've already wasted a lot of time. Go and buy something, and we'll eat on the way!" Qin Lun smiled at the black buddy, ignoring the resentment on his face, and stuffed another Franklin into his hand.
"Well, it's for the tip, otherwise I would definitely beat him to death... What do you mean we've already lost a lot of time, and it seems to be my fault... If you hadn't insisted on limiting the speed to 40 yards, maybe now Already in Arcadia!"
As Ford walked towards the highway restaurant by the side of the road, he muttered in a low voice, venting all the resentment in his stomach.
Qin Lun, who was sitting in the car, smiled lightly. Although the distance was a bit far away, it was impossible for him to hear it with his ears. However, he didn't hold grudges against the black buddy. Although this guy had a bad mouth, he was quite satisfied after a few hours.
For the past few hours, Qin Lun has been on guard against the sudden attack of the mysterious force, and at the same time, he is monitoring Ford with his staring halo, so as not to speed up the off-road vehicle unknowingly.
However, although Ford was a little irritable at certain times and wanted to speed up the car, he finally held back. Self-control ability is not bad, is an honest person.
"Your chicken burrito!" The black buddies came back soon, and handed a food packaging bag to Qin Lun.
"No, I think your share looks better." Qin Lun grinned and snatched the burrito and drink from Ford's other hand with lightning speed, without waiting for the black buddy to react. Come over and take a big bite.
"You...my cake, I specially added a lot of fillings..." Ford's dark face slowly turned red, he stared at Qin Lun fiercely, and finally got into the car from the other side like a deflated ball , silently ate the chicken burrito that should have belonged to Qin Lun.
Now he felt that Qin Lun must be playing tricks on him, no wonder he said what he wanted to eat, so he ordered another one, and he probably planned to snatch it from him at that time.
Qin Lun squinted his eyes, staring at the death list while observing Ford's reaction. After a while, it was finally determined that neither of the two pieces of food was poisonous.
This is the real purpose of Qin Lun's replacement driver. He needs to avoid the tricks of mysterious forces and indirectly get food and drinks from black buddies.
He is an apostle, and it is impossible for an existence with mysterious power to peek into his mind, so it must not be inferred that he will exchange food with Ford. And Ford is a driver he randomly appointed in the car rental company, which belongs to the X factor that the mysterious force cannot control.
So is it possible that the mysterious force will kill him and Ford together? In other words, the mysterious force ignored the X factor of black buddies and involved an innocent life in it
Qin Lun thinks this possibility is unlikely, otherwise, on the plane, in that car accident, the mysterious force could have mobilized a bigger and stronger law of cause and effect, making him inescapable. For example: directly controlling an out-of-control ballistic missile to bombard his area.
Since the mysterious power did not do this, it meant that it had certain restrictions, the most likely being that it could not take innocent lives at will. The people or plot characters killed by it are basically specific targets.
In this way, this mysterious force is not invulnerable. Qin Lun didn't care about the innocent or not, he could completely use countless innocent people as his shield, even if he didn't need to join Hill and the others, he could avoid attacks again and again.
However, this conclusion must be verified and tested by Qin Lun with his own life. In fact, while he was eating Ford's burrito, the other hand was always clutching the emetic to prevent poisoning.
He has a legal body, once poisoned, the poisoned state will be displayed on the death list immediately, and the emetic is completely in time to use.
Fortunately, both were alive and well until they finished eating. Apparently, the mysterious force didn't make a move, or had already made a move, but was interrupted by Qin Lun's irregular behavior, and had to choose to retreat temporarily.
"For the next few days, don't worry about food!" Qin Lun licked his fingers, and glanced indifferently at the big black man beside him.
Ford's unhappiness quickly dissipated, and the black buddy was very cheerful. In his opinion, the customer was just playing a small joke on him, which was nothing compared to the generosity of the tip, and he didn't know that Qin Lun was using his own life for the experiment.
"Don't be upset, Brother Ford!" Qin Lun said with a smile, "How about I hire you to go camping with me, and I will bear all your expenses, and I will give you a tip that is double your salary, how about it?"
"This...you don't have to do this, I'm not so stingy!" Unexpectedly, the black buddies were stunned for a moment, then scratched their heads and rejected his "kindness" with some embarrassment.
"Really don't want it? I'm on vacation alone, and it's nice to have a companion. You don't have to worry too much about it!" Qin Lun narrowed his eyes and said calmly.
"Oh, buddy, I'm straight, are you sure you're not gay?" Who knew that Ford moved away vigilantly when he heard Qin Lun's words.
"Well, pretend I didn't say it!" Qin Lun raised his hands in a friendly gesture of surrender.
As a hunter, since Ford was determined, he escaped from his trap. Naturally, it can no longer be made too obvious, otherwise it will be contrary to the pursuit of art. What's more, Acadia National Park is a famous tourist destination, where there are countless rangers who are part-time tour guides of virgin forests, and he will not worry about finding the next shield.
