Chapter 343: Obliteration! (Vote for monthly ticket!)_3
Before Yan Junze approached the SUV, the guy had locked all the doors and windows. It wasn't until Yan Junze approached that he pressed the window button and asked, "Are you the one who booked the car?"
"Yes, surname Yan," Yan Junze nodded.
"Needing a car so late, is there an emergency?" the driver opened the car door while letting Yan Junze get in and asked.
Reluctantly, he hadn't wanted to take this job. Typically, no one books a car late at night to continue until dawn.
Luckily, Yan Junze had mentioned beforehand that he won't go out of town, just roam around the city at night, at most go to the edge of the city to take a look, and only then did the driver agree to take the order.
The driver's surname was Qian, named Qian San. After some introductions, he asked Yan Junze where he planned to go.
Yan Junze said, "Tonight, I need to cover the entire Shuntian City. If possible, go less than two kilometers out of town, and then return."
Qian San was startled and looked at him, "You...you... are you looking at the night scenery, or searching for someone?"
"Looking for someone." Yan Junze knew he had to have a plausible excuse, and searching for someone was the only one that could explain his rushing around the city late at night.
"Let's hurry." Patting the car door, Yan Junze urged.
Qian San didn't ask any more questions and immediately planned a driving route, starting from the east of the city to the west, covering all four directions, and the eight corners of the city.
As an experienced driver, Yan Junze had no doubts about Qian San's choice of routes and the extent of their coverage.
The black SUV quickly began running back and forth in Shuntian City.
Along the journey, Yan Junze was measuring distances, opening the Space-Time Rift detector at each new coverage area, scanning the entire surroundings.
Each detection consumed 1000 points of Different Dimension Energy.
Yan Junze currently had a total of 28,000 points of energy, which meant he could detect Space-Time Rifts a total of 28 times in succession.
Looking at the range covered by each detection, these 28 detections could almost scan the entire city.
Of course, if he still had energy left and had not found the Space-Time Rift, he would choose to rest for a while and then continue to search outside the city.
About two hours later, around one in the morning, the driver Qian San became increasingly puzzled.
Since they were driving in the city and he specifically chose to take the main roads as much as possible, encountering strangenesses wasn't highly likely, but Yan Junze's method of searching for someone made him increasingly confused.
Because every time they reached a place, Yan Junze didn't get out of the car to search for someone; instead, he sat quietly in the car, not talking, not looking around, just squinting for a moment, then shaking his head, telling Qian San to continue to the next destination.
This made Qian San shift his attention from being watchful of any strangeness outside the car to Yan Junze.
In his view, Yan Junze seemed more like a strangeness, or at least had some neurological issues.
There was a string of Buddhist beads hanging at the position of the gear stick in the car; after feeling a chill down his spine, Qian San quietly took down the beads, clutched them tightly in his hand, murmuring something to himself, not knowing what he was chanting.
Yan Junze had no time to pay attention to him, focusing all his mind on finding the Space-Time Rift.
Soon four hours passed. Because he needed to find the detection points precisely, Yan Junze couldn't afford to be careless. If he was to cover the whole city, he didn't want to waste any of the energy used on each detection for nothing.
Sometimes when the car stopped, he would have Qian San drive forward another fifty meters, go down the right-hand fork for another eighty meters, and then activate the detection.
In this way, the process naturally took a bit longer. But each detection was more accurate, ensuring that the 28 detections he could initiate were not a waste.
However, as dawn began to break in the distance, even Yan Junze started feeling anxious.
Focusing on the Spacetime Atlas in his mind, there was still no detection information reflected back to him.
Silently, he counted in his mind, "The 27th time."
