Abyss Express

JOE - Chinese transliteration is "Joe".

Usually used as a boy's name, but can also be used as a girl's name.

It comes from Hebrew, and the English original meaning is ordinary people, children given by God, and the implication is handsome, independent people. The playful and lively slang is also called "handsome boy".

At this very moment—

——The younger brother of the tour guide greeted the two passengers who had just arrived, and the nickname he used was [JOE].

Only then did Ah Xing and Xue Ming come to their senses.

——Just like Pop Art [POP ART], people in the Mimier Hot Spring Bazaar have regarded the term [JOE] as a part of their basic necessities of life and entertainment.

It can be used as a greeting or as a joke.

When saying hello to friends, this cultural symbol is also fully integrated into the greeting.

Just for a while, the two young men didn't know how to reply to others, and they were awkward in place.

The tour guide brother took out an ax from under the grill and cut the spine into three sections.

Jiang Xueming was amazed by the bone-cutting technique. He had done red-and-white cases before, and he was very good at handling meat. Look at the ax blade in the tour guide's hand. multilayer fibers.

The way the tour guide chops bones is sharp and natural. He finds the joint gap of the spine at a glance, and naturally breaks the joints from the fat and muscle texture of the spine.

The marrow fluid in the bone was originally sealed in the protein colloid and joints. Under the squeeze of the ax blade, the cavity of the roast meat was opened suddenly, and there was a crisp sound of "boo", which is a skillful butcher.

"Why didn't you even say hello?" The tour guide took out three thin pancakes the size of a washbasin, wrapped them around the spine and handed them out, "Let's have something to eat first, and we'll talk about anything on the way."

The smell of the roasted spine made Jiang Xueming's eyes clear and transparent, like some kind of catalyst, the originally lazy spiritual essence became active.

Ah Xing was about to go up to get the gift——

——Xue Ming took a step ahead and took off the cotton jacket to avoid the cold, revealing the spirit clothes and crotch pants inside. Take the gift from the tour guide.

He held the backbone of the bread, gnawed off a piece of hot meat on the bone, chewed carefully, and made a simple self-introduction.

"My name is Jiang Xueming, and I'm from Nine Realms Station——David Victor asked us to come to this city to find work and earn money."

In just a few breaths, two things happened.

Let me talk about the changes in Xue Ming first.

The spicy spine meat is full of spices, the outer layer of meat is hard and chewy, and the inner layer of meat is loose, tender and juicy, without any bloody smell.

Xue Ming couldn't tell what kind of spice it was, so if he forced him to describe it, he could only say "salty umami taste similar to mushrooms", as well as the aroma of wine fermented with lime and plum fruit.

He quickly took a second bite.

The taste of the barbecue gradually became mellow, as if it had been marinated for a long time, followed by the third and fourth bites—until the teeth hit the crispy spine hard, and the sauce and marrow flowed from the bone.

At that moment, Xue Ming felt that there was an explosion in his brain—like the explosion of life in the Cambrian period.

Following the signals from his brain, his limbs trembled subconsciously, and his nose, throat and upper respiratory tract were filled with this smell.

For the spiritual essence, the bone quality of this dish is very similar to the taste of mustard. It only takes a small bite, and Xue Ming's whole body [comes to life].

And another thing-

——When the tour guide heard the name David Victor, the expression on his face turned from cold to hot. But it didn't get too hot.

It's like meeting a stranger, hearing familiar names and taboos coming out of the stranger's mouth, and having a common topic.

Compared to this incident, the expression on Xue Ming's face when he was eating made him happier.

Barbecue is the specialty of the tour guide brother.

When guests come, accept this gift, and eat cleanly in person, that is the most exciting thing.

It's as if Mr. Victor sees the readers and meticulously reads the novels in the newspaper completely.

Seeing Brother Ming's intoxicated appearance, Bu Liuxing couldn't help but stepped forward to ask for a pair of spine bread.

It's different this time, it's not like the fresh Big Mac burger in the Death Puppet Agency - Ah Xing can't say anything when he is eating.

He lowered his head, and with his strong teeth, he gnawed open every piece of meat in the spine, and squeezed out thick sauce and bone marrow along the bone joints with soft bread.

Until his mouth was full of greasy dirt, he wiped his mouth clean with a pancake, stuffed the pancake into his stomach like a gulp, and finally burped, his face flushed.

"Ah, I'm satisfied. There's no need to fight any more." Ah Xing collapsed on the spot, lying in a big character, staring at the dome above the Tongzilou with his eyes wide open, and there were ten thousand stars in his eyes.

"What kind of spice is it? It seems like thyme. No, it's like mushrooms. I feel like the battery in my brain can now release thunder and be full of energy."

There was a happy expression on his face.

"What's your name, brother tour guide?! I really want to know, can I contact you to deliver food in the future? This dish is like a song! A story!"

The more Ah Xing talked, the more excited he became. The hot food in his stomach made him feel angry all over. Brainless gourmets wanted to start boasting and commenting.

"Bamboo charcoal makes the tenderloin and fat full of smoke. With the mushroom and wine spices, I seem to see a tavern where people are smoking and playing cards."

A Xingsha ran to the tour guide brother with introduction, put his hands on the freezer, and stuck it to the tour guide brother's face.

"It's really mysterious! What kind of animal's spine is it? When I gnawed off the first piece of meat along the cut corner of the skeleton with my front teeth, the gravy on both sides of the side naturally stuck up—like pushing away a tavern. There are two swing doors, and the welcoming girls on both sides, one on the left and one on the right, grabbed my arm at once!"

The tour guide didn't reply, his expression was calm and natural, he just gnawed his bones with a smile.

A Xing went on to say: "And! And! The feeling of the first bite is like a hot and scorched strange appetizer. The smoky tough guy showed his gun to me, asking me to show my real skills , use a dexterous tongue to deal with these ground snakes, to please them."

"But as long as I exert a little force and use my cerebellum - these paper tigers will kneel and beg for mercy. I can hear the flamenco guitar playing from the muscles, and the moment it turns from hard to soft, the flesh bursts out from deep inside. The sap is the blood spattered from this contest!"

"The sound of cracking cartilage and collagen is like dense drumbeats, urging people to a decisive battle. When the teeth hit the ripe bones, I realized that I had a hard idea. In this tavern, there is him Mom, you are waiting for me with a belly full of bad water. It is different from the minions outside."

Ah Xing's expression also became ferocious, frowning and gnashing his teeth.

"Damn, even if this guy is dead, his spine is ridiculously hard. It's so hot that my throat smokes. It's really sexy. I'm filled with determination!"

Meteor was dancing, pulling his cheeks and showing his teeth.

"I use all kinds of skills, use all the weapons in my body, and use my tongue to go head-to-head with it! What is that spicy and exciting feeling? What did you add? It makes my ears ring! Same shot!"

"It's mustard greens." The younger brother of the tour guide confided the exclusive secret recipe: "It's a kind of mustard greens."

"Mustard? Mustard?" Meteor didn't understand: "My God, your technique is simply superb! It can melt the mustard into the bone marrow without destroying the integrity of this spine!"

"No, it's not my credit." The tour guide replied with a smile, "This is the spine of a disaster beast, a rare one."

"Huh?" Meteor didn't understand even more, "What animal can add mustard to its own bone marrow?"

"It's amazing to say, it must be difficult for you outsiders to understand." The tour guide brother packed up the grill and sent the cart back to the room: "Open your log, there is a detailed description of the disaster monster. "

Mimir Hot Spring Bazaar——

——The monster in the spiritual disaster.

In this wilderness, there are many grotesque beasts.

The limb tissues and hair organs on their bodies, these characteristics make them resemble the chimera synthetic beasts in myths and legends.

The amazing thing is that these cataclysmic monsters do not have any reproductive isolation, just like an ecological circle that is independent of the surface and similar to the surface.

The scientific research station believes that these synthetic beasts can break through the barrier of reproductive isolation, exchange genes with other biological clans, and exchange ternary substances freely, probably because of the help of the mountain demon.

Trolls are large humanoids related to their direct parents, the mountain giants.

These mythical species will try to mate with various creatures and give birth to all kinds of powerful and deformed monsters.

The mountain demon will interbreed with its offspring again, surpassing the reproductive isolation, and opening a door to life—this kind of irregular reproduction method, under the upbringing of the strange geomagnetic environment of the Mohorovich discontinuity, gave birth to countless Tens of thousands of synthetic beast groups.

Here, you may see a snake with nine heads, or a three-headed dog, or a monster with a lion head and a snake tail.

But today, most of these mythical creatures are on the menu. If they are not strange enough, and the disaster is not strong enough, the Redstone people are not willing to eat them, and they only treat them as ordinary animals like cattle, sheep, pigs and horses.

Occasionally, some individual disaster beasts that have undergone multi-dimensional mass exchange can be seen from the wild. They must be extremely weird existences that can survive in the harsh environment.

"I didn't add the mustard greens in this spine. How can I have this ability?" The tour guide brother explained: "There is glucosinolate in it, which is a very special kind of disaster monster. This kind of thing is used as a weapon - when they are young, they are very active, like to go to the warm land deep in the volcano to find food, and they are also vulnerable to the poisonous hands of mad butterflies."

The tour guide went out, led the two passengers, and continued.

"This kind of thing exists in stuffed mustard greens, Brussels sprouts, and Brassica vegetables. It has a strong bitter taste and pungent spicy taste. Mrs. Bai shook her head when she smelled it. Cubs will specially ingest these foods, or parents will give them to their children. Backbone mustard, maintains a symbiotic relationship, serves as an anthelmintic in the body, as a vaccine for the Vita brand."

"So it is!" Bu Liuxing lamented the magic of life: "Little brother! I haven't introduced myself yet! My name is Bu Liuxing! What should we call you? What constellation are you from?"

The tour guide brother shrugged meaninglessly: "The name is not important, just call me the tour guide. As for the constellation, I don't know."

"Is there anyone who doesn't remember their constellation?" Bu Liuxing was very puzzled, turned to look at Jiang Xueming, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Ming, this little brother doesn't seem to like chatting, just like when I first saw you! "

Jiang Xueming: "People don't like talking nonsense, so let's follow their wishes."

"No." The tour guide led the two brothers through Digua Street, avoiding the residual bullets from the duel everywhere.

When they entered Sunset Boulevard, they had a chance to chat.

The tour guide brother explained: "I really don't remember my birthday and constellation, and I can't remember my name clearly. It seems that my surname is Wen. Hey. If I know, there is no need to hide it from you. Many friends have many messages. Lu. You don’t even know my name and birthday, so how can you repay the debt of gratitude to these two backbones?”

"Brother Wen!" Meteor shouted immediately: "Have you been hit by a car? Have you lost your memory? Or when you were fighting with someone, someone cheated and blasted your Tianling Gai? Are you out of your mind?"

Jiang Xueming murmured in a low voice: "If you can say it, you will publish a book."

The tour guide brother was not angry at all, he was as calm as Gujing Hantan: "Your friend is really interesting, can you remember how you lost your memory when you are alone?"

Xue Ming: "Psychopaths have wide thinking, please understand."

"You are so good at grilling meat! You must have many friends!" Meteor shouted loudly: "Maybe your friends can help you restore your memory?"

"I don't want it anymore, I feel pretty good now." The tour guide brother made a metaphor for Mimier Hot Spring: "It's like the wisdom spring in the city that has dried up long ago. After drinking it, you will remember many things. Maybe you don't think about it. It’s a blessing not to remember, right?”

Bu Liuxing responded cheerfully: "Yes, yes! It would be great if there was Wangqingshui in the world! I want to forget all the bad things in the past!"

Xue Ming's face was full of worry: "But... if you owe a lot of debts to people."

"Then let the creditors come after me. I don't have to look for them. They will definitely find me." The tour guide's attitude was calm and calm: "If I am a murderer, there will be a blue gold guard to collect the debt. If I am a If you are a heartless man, there will be women to collect debts. If I have many important life-and-death acquaintances—and reunite with all these people and things, I will change my mind and start a new life.”

"That's really nice! Brother Ming!" Meteor was very excited: "He's really nice! The tour guide that BOSS arranged for us is so good!"

"Mr. Wen!" Xueming was still in a calm mood, just wanted to clarify the matter: "How many things do you remember? How many people do you know? Can you help us find a job?"

"I've lived here for 16 years, so it should be fine." The tour guide took the two of them to the public parking lot on Sunset Boulevard - and asked for three motorcycles from the service desk of the parking lot.

Watching the tour guide take out a razor from the storage compartment of the motorcycle and trim his hair and beard, he suddenly became more energetic.

He was a typical oriental man, with sword eyebrows, star eyes, thick lips and fleshy lips, about 1.75 meters tall, and strong limbs. His hair was slightly disheveled under the razor trim, and his thick jaw was like a shark.

Xue Ming had never seen such a strong jaw—it seemed that it was born to crush food and gnaw bones.

It's just that the eyes of the tour guide are too gentle and quiet, and have nothing to do with the sharks that never look back and never stop in the ocean.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the leather cloth shop to try your luck. There are all kinds of clothing, food, housing, and transportation. Let's start with clothes, and I happen to know the lady boss there." Wen Ge took off his apron, put on a black tight vest and leather jacket and pants, Climb up the Harley motorcycle, put on the toad sunglasses, "You two, don't you gamble?"

Meteor: "I like to bet with people."

Xueming: "No."

Wen Ge pulled down his sunglasses, revealing his black and quiet eyes in his messy hair, staring at the two little guys seriously.

"You don't make a living from gambling, do you?"

Meteor: "That's impossible! My luck has been spent on reincarnation, and I still have this bit of self-knowledge."

Xue Ming: "My luck in reincarnation is mediocre. But I don't know how to gamble."

Wen Ge threw away two keys and two pairs of sunglasses, asking Xueming and Meteor to get in the car.

Xue Ming kept an eye out——

——He saw that Wen Ge's car still had a main weapon.

UTS-15 shotgun.

A bullpup pump-action combat shotgun from a Turkish company that fires 12-gauge. It is a sharp weapon in street fighting in modern warfare, and its killing efficiency is extremely high. However, UTS-15 also has a high failure rate.

The secondary weapon is the Remington M29 revolver that I saw just now, also known as the Smith \u0026 Wesson M29 - I have seen the product of this weapon company before. pistol.

Back to this heritage firearm.

Its ammunition is quite special.

Xue Ming could recognize this seventy-year-old murder weapon also because of its special bullet diameter——Magnum 0.44IN*40 revolver bullet.

This is the secondary weapon pistol with the largest kinetic energy in the world at that time. The diameter of the warhead is close to 11 millimeters, the initial velocity of the bullet is 448 meters per second, the kinetic energy is 1560 joules, and the maximum chamber pressure is 297 MPa.

It is a sharp weapon for hunting large animals.

To control this kind of firearm, you need a strong body and extraordinary eyesight.

Ah Xing has already ridden on the Harley, twisting the accelerator vigorously, burning the tires on the spot.

Xue Ming stood still, still thinking.

Wen Ge asked again: "What's the matter? Jiang Xueming, are you afraid?"

"No." Xue Ming felt very embarrassed.

Brother Wen was puzzled: "Why don't you get in the car yet? Could it be."

Xue Ming nodded and confessed: "I don't know how to ride a motorcycle. I've never learned it, and I don't understand it at all. Driving a car is iron-clad meat, and riding a motorcycle is meat-clad iron. If there is a car accident, it's better to take the subway. So I I have never learned how to drive such a dangerous vehicle."

Brother Wen was relieved, and it made sense after thinking about it carefully.

"How about you sit in the back seat of me?"

Xueming asked: "Is there a bus?"

Brother Wen: "Do you think so? In this city where the breath of freedom is about to hit your face, everyone is a knight, and everyone lives a life of death. There will be buses in this kind of place?"

Xue Ming insisted on the bottom line in his heart: "I mean, is there a possibility, there is a kind of car, its name is motorcycle, but it looks more mature and stable."

Wen Ge laughed and clapped his hands, clapping vigorously: "The destination is 21 kilometers away from here, you can choose to run there."

Xue Ming climbed into Harley's back seat, grabbed Wen Ge's waist, and covered the luggage tightly, for fear of leaking things.

Wen Ge pointed at Ah Xing who was burning the tires. The parking lot was full of the smell of rubber, and there were scorched circular arc tire marks.

"Look at your friend, how energetic he is. I saw that you are as close as brothers, and I thought you were like him."

"It's not true." Ah Xing immediately let go of the accelerator, got off the car, and returned the key: "Actually, I don't know how to ride a motorcycle either. It feels so cool to play with burning tires!"

that's all--

Ah Xing, who is tall at 1.9 meters, sits in the front row of Harley, and Xue Ming, a short guy at 1.7 meters, sits in the back row of Harley.

Mr. Wen was not angry at all, and even his expression didn't change. He just thinks these two little guys are very interesting. Looking down at the road from Ah Xing's armpit.

Immediately afterwards, Yiqi Juechen.

Three friends of similar ages raced all the way towards Sunset Avenue, rushed up the bridge lead, crossed the thousand-meter steel bridge, and headed towards the west city, stirring up flying sand, rolling stones and billowing thick smoke.

In the distance, the shouts of drivers waving their whips and driving their horses could be heard.

"ha!"
