Let's start by analyzing the sun

Chapter 176 [175] Shadow Clone Obtained from the Starving Big Shot

Cheng Han rode Gua Gua and rushed back to the regiment's station in one breath, knocking on the school captain's office again.

"Dong! Dong!"

After the door rang.

Extremely faint voices came from inside, one male and one female.

"Stop! Someone's coming!"

"Which clueless guy is coming over at this time? If I have the chance, I will make things difficult for him!"

"I'll go hide in the inner room first."

"Okay, I'll let you see my power later."

"Pa!"

The last sound was particularly clear.

Cheng Han curled his lips and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

The dignified school captain of the Second Regiment actually locked the door and did such a shameful thing during work hours in broad daylight. How could this be allowed?

He also felt a little strange in his heart.

Mr. Mu, do you really dare to make things difficult for me?

A second later.

The school captain's loud voice rang out.

"Come in!"

Cheng Han pushed the door open and immediately witnessed a face-changing performance.

Originally, Mu Qiushan's old face was filled with dissatisfaction from unfulfilled desires.

His sitting posture was also a little strange, his body leaning forward slightly, not as upright as usual.

Mu Qiushan was stunned for a moment when he saw who it was: "Cheng Han? Why is it you!"

The school captain came back to his senses and quickly squeezed out an enthusiastic smile: "Did you forget to say something just now?"

At this moment, this person completely forgot the promise of "making things difficult".

Cheng Han said directly: "School Captain, I want to go on vacation outside for the next two days!"

There was no other way.

These team leaders were eyeing him covetously. Where in the huge Black Mountain Camp was there a place for him?

And the Black Armor Army had clear rules and regulations, and they were not allowed to leave the Black Mountain Camp without a reason.

Whether it was for mission needs or other reasons, they all needed to report to the school captain and obtain approval before leaving.

Mu Qiushan was a little confused when he heard this: "It's freezing cold outside, not suitable for vacation. There are sanatorium areas in the Black Mountain Camp specially built for warriors. Isn't that okay?"

Cheng Han casually gave a reason: "I want to go to Anhua City in the Little Spirit Realm for lunch. I heard there is a special dish called 'Green Brick Meat' there, and I've always wanted to try it."

Mu Qiushan was speechless when he heard this.

Just to eat a dish, he would risk the wind and snow to run all the way to Anhua City. Are geniuses all… no, are their ideas so unconstrained?

If it were someone else, the school captain would definitely scold him rudely. There are many free cafeterias in the Black Mountain Camp, with all kinds of dishes, isn't that enough for you to eat? Hurry up and get back.

But facing the young genius, Mu Qiushan hesitated for a moment, and finally said softly: "Okay!"

The school captain quickly completed the procedures, handed over a nameplate, and smiled even more kindly: "I wish you a happy time!"

Cheng Han thanked him politely, quickly turned around and left.

Mu Qiushan sat and thought for a few seconds, then shook his head gently before getting up and entering the inner room.

Soon.

Strange sounds came out, sounding like two people were gnawing on pig trotters together.

The woman would occasionally say "slow down", seemingly advising the man to eat slowly, lest he accidentally choke.

Interspersed with intermittent conversations.

"Genius teenager… so casual!"

"Yes, it's really incomprehensible!"

"You have someone find two… chefs who can make green brick meat, lest the genius… run so far next time… other regiments will laugh at you for treating the genius harshly!"

"What a joke! He dares to treat me harshly, but I don't dare to treat him harshly… Forget it, you're right… I'll order someone to do it when I'm done!"

Cheng Han rode Gua Gua and rushed to the main gate of the Black Mountain Camp. After checking the nameplate, he was like a bird entering the forest, running wildly all the way.

He overturned a few rabbit holes, dug out four big rabbits, and ran around in a snow forest for a while, catching a forest badger, and catching a few birds, hanging them on Gua Gua's body.

This batch of prey added up to no less than a hundred pounds. If it were other feathered beasts, carrying so many things, they could only carry a small child at most.

But Gua Gua carried its master and prey, and still ran very fast.

Half an hour later.

An ice-covered river appeared in front.

Cheng Han's eyes lit up and asked: "Gua Gua, do you want to eat fish?"

"Ang!"

Thus.

Gua Gua's load increased again with a few fresh and tender big fish.

The appearance of this feathered beast at this time looked quite comical.

Its whole body was hung with odds and ends, and even its neck was hanging with a few birds.

As it ran, the things kept shaking back and forth, but it could still run steadily.

After about a quarter of an hour.

Gua Gua ran onto the intercity road connecting to Anhua City and encountered a transport team.

Under normal circumstances, logistics transportation between cities mainly relies on specially made crystal energy trucks, or—a four-legged beast called "Jia Beast".

Jia Beasts have extremely strong endurance, very docile personalities, and a prominent advantage: a flat back.

This allows them to both haul goods and carry a lot of cargo, so they are quite popular in long-distance transportation.

Now it is the cold winter season, and the roads are covered with snow everywhere. Crystal energy trucks simply cannot get on the road, and Jia Beasts naturally become the main force of intercity logistics.

Cheng Han looked around and saw more than twenty Jia Beasts, each of which was stronger than a rhinoceros in another time and space.

They were in groups of two, dragging special snow transport vehicles, slowly moving forward in the ice and snow.

A group of guards hired by the transport team stood dutifully on top of the transport vehicles, vigilantly observing the surrounding environment.

Naturally.

Gua Gua's arrival attracted the attention of all the guards.

Not only because the appearance of this feathered beast looked too strange.

Also because the behavior of traveling alone in the wilderness in winter was really too strange.

There are hungry beasts, dangerous anomalies, and lawless desperadoes in the wilderness.

The latter are usually monster extermination teams.

After all, killing people is always easier than killing monsters. Some monster extermination teams with extraordinary courage don't mind playing the role of robbers to make a fortune.

"Hi!"

A big-bearded guard greeted loudly.

But his expression and tone were definitely not friendly.

Cheng Han didn't mind, just waved his right hand in response.

He was wearing a special snowsuit, unable to see his face or age.

"Ding-ling~"

The sound of a bell spread out.

The convoy slowly stopped.

Several guards jumped out of the car, surrounded him together, and each raised a short spear.

Although they did not put on an attacking posture, their strong hostility was obvious.

Cheng Han pretended to be panicked and hurriedly pulled on the reins of the feathered beast, stammering: "W-what do you want to do?"

The big-bearded guard who spoke first asked sternly: "I suspect you are a scout for a certain raiding gang. I demand you accept our detailed inspection, hurry…"

Before he finished speaking.

He stopped.

Because Cheng Han took off his goggles, pulled down his cold-proof mask, and revealed a student-like innocent face.

The big-bearded guard was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but ask: "You kid wouldn't be running away from home, would you?"

It was impossible for a monster extermination team to recruit a student. They had never seen such a thing in so many years of work, so the suspicion of being a scout could be ruled out.

The hostility of these people disappeared for the most part without realizing it, but out of prudence, they still did not loosen their weapons.

Cheng Han pretended to be surprised: "How did you know I ran away from home?"

The big-bearded guard laughed: "It's not hard to guess. Only you silly kids would get hot-headed and rush into the wilderness without regard for your lives."

Cheng Han "foolishly" confessed his origins: "I had a big fight with my dad. I plan to go to Anhua City to seek refuge with my aunt."

A group of guards all had an expression of "as expected".

The big-bearded guard, who was still fierce just now, now showed a kind side.

This person looked at the convoy behind him and shouted: "Boss, should we take this reckless kid with us? If we don't care, I'm afraid he will disappear halfway."

A particularly burly man in the convoy hesitated for a moment and replied: "Okay! But this kid can only follow the convoy 50 meters away. Old Tang, you are responsible for keeping an eye on him."

Another strong man responded in a muffled voice: "I know."

Cheng Han blinked his eyes and muttered in his heart: There are still many good people.

Soon.

The convoy restarted.

Cheng Han rode Gua Gua and honestly followed 50 meters away, looking like a well-behaved child.

But before long, he showed the side of a naughty child.

He broke off a branch from the roadside and used it as a spear, constantly riding Gua Gua back and forth, launching thrusts with the spear, and constantly "hey" and "ha" in his mouth.

A group of guards shook their heads greatly.

No wonder he ran away from home. Whoever has such a child in their family is really unlucky.

This scene completely put the convoy at ease.

A guard shouted: "Kid, our boss said, come and walk with us, be careful not to block the Jia Beast's path."

Cheng Han responded happily, carrying the branch and rushed over.

He showed a strong curiosity, circling around each Jia Beast a few times, carefully observing them, and even trying to say hello to them.

A group of guards found it funny.

This kid is too naughty!

An hour later.

The transport team stopped.

Because it was lunchtime.

The side door of the transport vehicle opened, and many uniformed employees jumped down and took out feed to feed the Jia Beasts.

They were obviously employees of the chamber of commerce to which the convoy belonged.

Inside this long-distance transport vehicle, in addition to the carriages carrying goods, there was usually also a small crew room.

In the cold winter, this corner was a desirable haven.

The guards also received quite generous boxed lunches.

The big-bearded guard also greeted friendly: "Kid, want a portion? Our food is not bad."

Cheng Han resolutely refused: "I am a wilderness traveler, I want to be self-reliant."

The big-bearded guard shook his head and sighed: "Stupid kid, you'll know what's good for you when you're hungry for a meal or two."

Cheng Han "hmphed" with the appearance of a chuunibyou teenager.

He found a sheltered place, fiddled around, quickly lit a pile of fire, and skillfully roasted a rabbit leg, which looked quite good.

The aroma of roasted meat filled the air, and the guards secretly swallowed their saliva.

Although their boxed lunches were good, how could they compare to fresh roasted meat?

Just as Cheng Han was gobbling it down, there was suddenly movement in a car next to him.

"Ka!"

A small window was pulled open.

A small face was revealed, with a longing expression: "Hey, can I have a bite of roasted meat?"

This was a little girl, about six or seven years old.

She also handed over a big candy: "I won't eat for free, I'll exchange it with you."

Cheng Han readily agreed: "Okay!"

He took a small knife and cut off a piece of meat, handing it to the little girl.

Not far away.

The guard leader watched this scene, his expression becoming much softer.

Because the little girl was his daughter.

After lunch, and after resting for 20 minutes, the transport team set off again.

However.

Just five minutes later, danger came, and it was a big danger—an anomaly!

To be precise—an ice succubus!

This ice succubus occupied a snow deer, and it ran straight over when it saw the convoy from afar.

And wherever it passed, a path of frost condensed on the surface of the snow.

The convoy panicked all of a sudden.

The guard leader shouted loudly: "Everyone pay attention, I will go forward to lure away the ice succubus, the convoy immediately speeds up and leaves this section of the road."

Objectively speaking, this was the best solution.

But the hope of survival for those who carry out the mission was quite slim.

Just then.

"Ang!"

Gua Gua called out, carrying Cheng Han and rushing forward.

The latter waved his right arm lightly, and a phantom shot out, hitting the anomaly hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye.

"Bang!"

The ice succubus exploded.

Instant kill!

At the same time.

Large ripples appeared on the surface of Gua Gua and Cheng Han's bodies, and then they disappeared.

Everyone was shocked.

What was going on?

How did this kid disappear?

Soon.

Everyone discovered more strange things.

"Dad, I just exchanged a piece of rabbit meat for candy, and put the leftover bones on the table, now the candy is still here with me, but the bones are gone."

This was the little girl's voice.

It was filled with surprise.

"Boss, all the footprints left by the feathered beast in the snow are gone, they were just here."

This was the big-bearded guard's shout.

It was filled with the horror of "seeing a ghost".

"Boss, I followed your instructions at lunchtime and sent that kid a pot of water, now the water is still here with me."

This was another guard's discovery.

This also shocked him.

"Boss, the bonfire that kid roasted the rabbit on just now seems to be gone!"

All of the above clearly pointed to one fact—everything about that kid was an illusion!

Anomaly!

This was likely some kind of terrible anomaly!

The guard leader was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he shouted: "Everyone pay attention, leave here as quickly as possible!"

Everyone immediately moved, driving the convoy away in a hurry.

*

At this time.

Anhua City.

Cheng Han rode the feathered beast and walked on the street, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

He himself had already left the convoy.

What remained there was merely a phantom image.

This was, in fact, an experiment.

The results greatly pleased Cheng Han: "The 'Shadow Clone' technique derived from analyzing the Hungry Overlord is indeed quite useful.

"It can actually interact with the minds of others, and maintain itself for a long time by borrowing that interaction. Such a method is truly remarkable."

He sighed again, "It's a pity that the Overlord's was a true clone, while the Level 6 Omniscient Eye only analyzed a phantom clone. The difference between the two is too great."
