Killing America Terror Starts at a Fatal Turn
Chapter 19 Missing Leonard
After the upgrade, Harpie's concealment is reduced, its lethality is greatly improved, and it is full of fatal dangers. In the following days of night patrol, Luke even tried to control Halpier's operation of lifting criminals and taking them to the sky, and the fear he gained increased significantly.
The fulfilling and enjoyable weekend passed quickly, and Luke came to school like an ordinary seventeen-year-old boy. As the bell rang, students poured into the classroom to start a new day. Some were whispering to each other, and some were taking out pens and paper to prepare for class.
Luke sat for a while and found that Leonard, who often came to harass him when he had nothing to do, and several classmates from the expedition team were not here today.
He pulled a boy over and asked, "Have you seen Leonard today? Or Albert and the others."
The boy shook his head and asked him, "Don't you usually play together?"
Luke had experienced too many extraordinary events recently, so he subconsciously thought about the worst, maybe something happened in some supernatural place.
He searched carefully and found that the three people who often played with Leonard did not come to school. He quickly ran out and found the school's public phone booth.
He used to go to Leonard's uncle Sean's gun shop for target practice, so he wrote down the phone number there.
The call was quickly connected, and after a brief exchange of greetings, Luke asked about Leonard's situation.
Sean said Leonard went out with some friends on Saturday morning and never came home. But he used to be keen on going out on adventures, and it was common for him to stay up at night, so the family didn't worry too much. But it is indeed the first time that I have not returned even after school started.
The uneasiness in Luke's heart became even stronger.
According to Sean's description, Leonard and the others seemed to be looking for traces of local witches near the town of Linhe in northern Phoenix.
In Sean's words, Luke also recalled that Leonard did invite him last Friday to visit the witches together, and he also told some boring and dirty jokes about witches.
Luke had just dealt with a group of robbers the night before. He had not slept well and had been catching up on sleep during the day, so he directly rejected his invitation.
Luke became more and more worried about the safety of his best friend. Although most of their friendship was with the original person, it had been two weeks since Luke traveled back in time. He had perfectly inherited the original person's memory and had a good time with Leonard in the past two weeks. I also recognized this friend.
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. He asked the teacher for two days off on the pretext of feeling sick to his stomach, then got on his bicycle and returned home.
Luke made some preparations when he got home. As usual, he brought the Winchester M1897 and stab-proof clothing, prepared two large boxes full of ammunition, and a large bag of instant food and mineral water. He summoned him, put a series of things in the car, and asked Halpier to fly in the air to follow him. He drove his second-hand Ford Fiesta and hurried towards Linhe Town.
The road conditions were very good and the journey was smooth. We were still half an hour away from Linhe Town. Luke happened to see a very familiar vehicle not far ahead. He accelerated and approached, saw the license plate clearly, and recognized that the car was the one Leonard usually drove, but there was a strange hippie in the cab.
He accelerated to catch up with the opponent's car, and after overtaking, he turned the steering wheel sharply, leaning in front of the opponent's car, and braked, forcing them to stop.
Then he picked up the Winchester from the passenger seat, walked to the car amidst the hippies' swearing words, and pointed the black muzzle of the gun at the cab.
The young hippie in the driver's seat had light blond curly hair that looked like it had not been combed since he got out of bed. His originally angry expression became docile and humble under the education of the shotgun. He raised his hands and said, "Hey, buddy, calm down, I think we didn't provoke you. If you have anything to say, tell me, brother, you are still very young, don't go to the road of crime."
Luke pushed the barrel down, letting the hippie roll down the car window, looked him in the eyes and said, "You didn't mess with me, but you messed with my friends."
The hippie was a little confused and replied: "Brother, I don't know who the friend you are talking about is, but I have been staying at home honestly these days, and I haven't provoked anyone. Are you looking for the wrong person?"
Luke put a gun to his head and continued to ask: "No one was provoked, so where did this car come from?"
The hippie showed an expression of realization and quickly explained: "I picked up this car at a fork in the road. It was parked on the roadside at noon yesterday. I passed by there today and it was still parked there. I thought this car No one wanted it, so it was driven away.”
Luke stared at him for a while. The hippie was frightened and nervous, and sweat started to fall from his forehead.
Luke suddenly said: "Take me to that intersection." He turned around and walked towards his car. After taking only two steps, he turned back and said: "You can try to escape and bet on whether I will shoot directly."
The hippie's hand that he had just put down quickly raised it again and said in a panic, "No, no."
Luke stepped out of the way and let the hippie lead the way. After walking for less than ten minutes, the hippie stopped at a fork in the road, walked down, saw Luke getting out of the car, and said to him, "This is it."
Luke looked at the ground and found that there were indeed ruts where vehicles were parked. He shook the barrel of the gun and said, "Let's go."
The hippie said in a flattering tone: "The bicycle on the back seat is mine, I can ride it back."
Luke replied impatiently: "Okay, let's go."
The hippie took off his bicycle, stood up, pedaled hard, and left in a flash.
After it calmed down, Luke parked the two cars aside and observed the situation nearby.
Everything here looked normal. He brought Halpier's perspective and looked down from a high altitude, but he also found nothing.
Luke sat in front of the car, reviewing the clues that existed.
At the latest before noon yesterday, Leonard drove by here, or simply came here specially. Then several people got out of the car and never showed up again.
Luke carefully identified the traces on the roadside. Because the location was remote, not many people passed by, so he could barely make out the footprints from yesterday.
He walked along the direction of most of the footprints and reached between two forks in the road. Suddenly something inspired him, and he vaguely seemed to see an extra path.
He quickly activated his spiritual energy, letting the cold energy flow through his head and enhancing his five senses.
A narrow road suddenly appeared.
Sure enough, something unusual happened.
Luke returned to the car, put on his stab-resistant suit first, and then summoned Halpier down, letting him stand on his shoulders to prevent him from getting separated if he went deeper into the road.
After all preparations were completed, Luke used his psychic powers again, held Winchester firmly, and stepped onto the narrow road.
Ahem~ The thing is like this. Today, a few people made a point of popularizing the issue of new book updates and reviewed their own slack. In the future, the number of updates will be doubled ~ two chapters will be updated every day ~ and dear readers, please remember to read ~ I love you
