EJ went to... Guest~
Chapter 524: Finding a Companion
"Nakamura Koji, after the team battle, are you going to join the Zhongzhou team?" It was quite awkward to spend a night with a strong man like Nakamura Koji, so I had to talk about some topics to make the atmosphere less awkward. EJ went to... Guest~ Nakamura Koji kept stuffing meat into his mouth with his right hand, scratched his head with his left hand, grinned, and said: "Yes, in fact, with my potential, I can apply to join the Zhongzhou team after breaking through to the potential lock level 3, but the team was still in its growth stage at that time, and I couldn't leave. Now that the Zhongjiang team has another strong man, I can leave with peace of mind."
Meng Xiang smiled slightly. Although their ideas were different, the situations of the Zhongjiang team and the Wuming team were quite similar. He had formed the Wuming team, and now all the members had played an important role. Without him, the Wuming team might not survive.
However, the difference between him and Koji Nakamura was that he never wanted to leave the No-Name Team.
"What is your purpose in joining the Zhongzhou team? Don't tell me you plan to accumulate enough points to leave the reincarnation world." Meng Xiang stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth and started chewing.
"Purpose? Of course it's to become stronger. Why leave the reincarnation world? I do hard labor every day, and the monthly salary can only keep me warm and clothed, and I can't even find a wife." Nakamura Koji suddenly looked gloomy, and said rather depressedly: "There are no relatives in the real world that I need to care about, so there is no difference between the reincarnation world and the real world for me."
After hearing what Nakamura Koji said, Meng Xiang couldn't help but feel sympathy. He had friends and parents in the real world. His goal in the reincarnation world was to become stronger, revive Mu Fei'er and let her return to the real world, then defeat the true god and destroy the reincarnation world. After completing everything, he would return to the real world to reunite with his family, but what about Nakamura Koji? Even if he became the strongest, what awaited him was only nothingness.
Meng Xiang picked up the Moutai and took a sip. Nakamura Koji stopped talking and drank alone.
The two melee warriors had nothing to say to each other, and each of them had their own thoughts. Only alcohol was the best channel for men to communicate.
At night, only helicopters or fighter planes occasionally fly by, and the road not far away occasionally emits dazzling car lights. In this way, even if all residents evacuate, there is still no silence in the city. Ej went to...
Late at night, the two of them lay on the ground to rest.
"Huh?" Meng Xiang and Nakamura Koji jumped up at the same time. Waves of energy surged in, making their hearts beat wildly.
Meng Xiang was particularly familiar with this energy fluctuation.
True energy.
"It's Li Xiaoyao, is he fighting?" Meng Xiang blurted out, but then he denied it: "No, this energy fluctuation does not carry murderous intent, but spreads like flowing water. That's right, it feels like the 'Wall of Heart'."
The energy fluctuation of this true force was very weak, and there was no murderous aura mixed in it. The energy fluctuations moved in a myriad of ways, scanning all tangible matter. Meng Xiang's first impression was that it was very similar to Mu Feier's perception of the expansion of the wall of her heart.
"Why do you know it's Li Xiaoyao?" Nakamura Koji asked hurriedly.
Meng Xiang was too lazy to explain. He muttered to himself, "Why did Li Xiaoyao expand this wave of true energy? Is he practicing? No, even if he was practicing, it shouldn't generate energy that spreads over such a large area. In my opinion, the energy source is at least 10 kilometers away from us."
"Hey, I'm asking you." Nakamura Koji was obviously a little annoyed that Meng Xiang didn't answer his question.
"The 'Wall of Heart' senses, senses, that's right," Meng Xiang slapped his head and said in fear, "Could it be that Li Xiaoyao is scanning our existence through this method?"
"Scan? Does he have mental scanning skills?" Nakamura Koji's personality is similar to Huangfu Yu's, and he is not good at reasoning and analysis.
"It's not a mental scan." Meng Xiang's mind raced, but finally his expression calmed down and he said calmly: "Anyway, before this fluctuation of true energy disappears, we just have to act like ordinary people." The perception of energy fluctuations is similar to the sonic scanning of bats. Just like flowing water, when it encounters an obstacle, it affects the diffusion of energy and will deform. The caster can then sense the shape and distance of the obstacle.
In other words, as long as Li Xiaoyao doesn't take any extreme actions, such as moving at high speed, even if he knows that there are humans hiding here, he will not be able to tell that they are reincarnations.
"Hmph, Meng Xiang, it seems you have a smart brain, but what if you made a wrong deduction?" Nakamura Koji was somewhat unconvinced, just like Tang Bixin from the Nameless Team who often made trouble for Fang Ru.
"If your inference is wrong, it's wrong. It's no big deal. If you are scared, you can leave at full speed now and try your luck on whether Li Xiaoyao will chase you." Meng Xiang answered in a rough voice. He didn't have as much patience as Fang Ru to explain.
"I'm afraid? Stop kidding." Nakamura Koji's bones creaked, but he would not risk his own safety for the sake of fighting. If his opponent was Li Xiaoyao, he would definitely die in a one-on-one fight.
The fluctuation of true energy spread for a full hour before dissipating. This persistent fluctuation of true energy was continuous and endless, which showed that the amount of true energy contained in Li Xiaoyao was extraordinary.
Li Xiaoyao displayed unrivaled strength on the Torn Horizon. Even if Meng Xiang activated the initial stage of spiritual gathering, he would not have the confidence to win. Moreover, Luffy might be by Li Xiaoyao's side. It would be best not to have a conflict with Li Xiaoyao before meeting up with Huangfu Yu.
"Meng Xiang, what should we do next?" Nakamura Koji knows his own limitations. At this critical juncture, he will not act on impulse and leave his own safety to his not-so-flexible brain to judge.
"My wounds will be healed tomorrow. We will head south while tracking down our companions and try our luck to see if we can meet up with Huangfu Yu. If we find Luffy, we will try to kill him. If we find Li Xiaoyao or the runaway Unit-01, we must flee immediately."
"This time Luffy and I are tied, he is mine, don't fight with me." Nakamura Koji is still worried about not being able to decide the winner with Luffy.
Meng Xiang knew that the two were equally strong and either could win. But he was different. If he activated the initial stage of spiritual gathering and combined it with the Heavenly Crystal, it would not be difficult to tear Luffy's rubber body apart. But he also understood Nakamura Koji's determination. For such a competitive strong man, no amount of persuasion would help.
"Sleep, I hope to reunite with Huangfu Yu as soon as possible." Meng Xiang sighed.
Koji Nakamura fell into a deep sleep quickly. Listening to his loud snoring, which sometimes sounded fast and sometimes slow, Meng Xiang envied his carefree personality.
Meng Xiang lay down on the ground again, but couldn't fall asleep.
Although his understanding of energy has deepened after the fierce battle, and his strength has also increased, he is still a long way from reaching the deep micro level. If he can return safely, Meng Xiang is determined to spend some points to return to the spiritual fairyland of "The Legend of Shushan" to practice and further improve his energy level. As long as he breaks through to the deep micro level, even if he faces a duel with Li Xiaoyao, he will not hide like a mouse seeing a cat.
The next morning, Meng Xiang did some exercise and his fractured left arm recovered completely. He was in peak condition, which made him happy and surprised.
Last night, Meng Xiang discovered Li Xiaoyao's true energy perception. Just in case, he didn't dare to run at high speed, let alone fly on the green magic board. He and Nakamura Koji stole two sports cars from a nearby car dealership, filled them up at a gas station, and drove their sports cars onto the highway.
More than ten kilometers away from the nuclear bomb explosion area, there are soldiers guarding it. Meng Xiang and Nakamura Koji took a detour. Fortunately, this world is exactly the same as their real world. Meng Xiang is quite familiar with the city and highways, so taking a detour is not a big problem.
Meng Xiang was most worried about Unit-01. Where did that terrifying monster hide? Although Unit-01 expanded to nearly 30 meters in height, Shinji Ikari also demonstrated his ability to hide in another dimension when he first appeared. It was hard to guarantee that the runaway Unit-01 would not hide in another dimension after being injured by the nuclear bomb. So in addition to looking for his companions along the way, he also used his subtle insight skills to sense whether there were any strange energy fluctuations in the surrounding space.
In the afternoon, while driving and searching, they detoured to a small town in the west. This small town was close to the city where the nuclear explosion occurred. Most of the residents had already evacuated. Fighter planes flew across the sky from time to time, and there were many troops and armored vehicles on the ground. The whole city was in an emergency state of war.
"We will split up and gather here after dark. We will contact each other by phone if necessary." Meng Xiang looked at Nakamura Koji and added, "If we find the enemy, it is best not to fight alone or cause too much noise. Even if the soldiers check the road, we just need to obey or avoid them."
"Avoid? Do I need to? Haha." Koji Nakamura abandoned his sports car, stole a mod car, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away, leaving Meng Xiang helpless.
Nakamura Koji is carefree, and Meng Xiang is afraid that he will clash with the military and cause unnecessary trouble. If he really leads Li Xiaoyao or Unit-01 to appear, it will be troublesome.
