star hunter

Xilin looked at the other person. The young man in front of him was obviously only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he showed a maturity beyond his years. He had the same sense of vicissitudes as this city, but the good thing was that he could not feel any malice.

"Yes, we are looking for a place to stay. Do you have any recommendations?"

The young man looked at them, raised his gloved hand, and raised a finger: "One hundred a day, galaxy coins. If you agree, I will take you to see the house."

"Okay." Xilin nodded. This quotation is relatively reasonable compared to those private houses in the central area of ​​the city.

The boy pointed to the seat behind which was covered with faded old cloth - there was only one driving position in the front seat, and said: "Come up."

These two old flying cars look shabby, and when they fly... they are also very scary. They shake around and want to shake out the few things left in people's stomachs, and they give people the feeling that they will be messy in the wind at any time.

When they arrived at the destination, Tang Qiuqiu was carried out by Xilin. She was knocked into a daze and could not find her balance in a short time. Xilin was not that serious. The gray cat on her shoulder looked at the broken car with contempt.

It's thicker, which confirms its opinion - this is just a pile of junk.

The place the boy was talking about was his home. It was located on the edge of Wind City Wento. It was a small two-story house made of rocks. Looking at the rocks, it probably didn’t last too long. It should have been built in the past five years. Yes.

In a small courtyard, there are some old parts from the flying cars piled up in the corner of the yard, covered with covers to prevent them from being blown away by the wind.

After parking the car in the yard, the young man walked out and pointed to the second floor of the house: "You can go and take a look first. If there is no problem, just pay the rent and sign an agreement."

Xilin nodded and walked to the second floor with Tang Qiuqiu on his back. There was a separate step in the yard leading to the second floor. The gray cat had already jumped on the step in advance and rushed into the house.

The space inside the house is not large, but it has a clear layout. There is one bedroom and one living room with a simple bathroom. The bed in the bedroom can be split into two small beds.

Xilin first let Tang Qiuqiu lie down on the bed to rest. The gray cat had already inspected the territory, and also came out of the simple bathroom by the way. He squatted on the window sill in high spirits and looked at the wind and sand in the distance, with a serious look on his face.

In the yard, a woman wearing a headscarf stood next to the boy. She must be the boy's mother, holding a wet towel in her hand to wipe the boy's face.

Seeing Xilin coming down, the young man asked: "How is it?"

"good."

Hearing Xilin's words, the woman's eyes showed joy.

The young man gave Xilin the agreement he had already drawn up. After Xilin looked at it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, the two parties signed the agreement.

Xilin directly paid the rent for five days first, and then paid it if he continued to live there. In addition, the water fee was also calculated separately, and was calculated based on the volume.

The night had fallen. Xilin and Tang Qiuqiu simply ate something and then lay down to rest. Tang Qiuqiu quickly fell asleep. Xilin listened to the high and low pitch of the wind outside and finally realized what people were saying.

What is the devilish sound of the Windy City mentioned?

Suddenly, the gray cat's ears twitched, and it jumped up, its eyes flashing with a faint light: "Xilin, something came out of the desert, I'm going to find food!"

"Go ahead and don't make too much noise."

"I know!" The gray cat couldn't wait to jump up, press the door lock, and rush out.

After the door closed automatically, Xilin opened his eyes and sighed. This place is more polarized than Saturn. There is a huge difference between the luxury in the central city and the decrepit residential areas.

Although the wind and sand outside were very strong, Xilin's sleep was not bad at night. However, in the middle of the night, Xilin heard a sudden movement in the yard, which was not so abrupt among the chaotic wind.

At dawn, the gray cat came back with a satisfied look on his face. He even brought back a two-meter-long snake to enrich Xilin and Tang Qiuqiu's diet.

"By the way, Xilin, I saw that kid in the sandstone area," the gray cat said, lying on his side on the bed and licking his paws. "It's still the same shabby car. It's driving there, and it's not afraid of death. It picks up the stone eaves.

Lots of places.”

"He's practicing driving, he's a speedster."

Xilin had noticed before that the boy's arms and wrists were very strong, and his physical fitness was quite good. At the same time, the boy was not as irritable as other people of the same age. When he met Xilin at that time, he looked at him with a calm look.

Analyze whether someone like Xilin would be a good tenant.

You must know that when driving at high speed, it is quite laborious to control the rudder under the action of air pressure. Especially when cornering, strong arms are needed to maintain the speeding car on the path the driver wants. Therefore, when driving in long distances, it is very difficult to control the rudder.

During distance races, strong arms and wrists are a must.

In speed racing, the strong lateral centrifugal force when cornering will cause the blood in the driver's body to flow to one side. However, at this time, the driver still needs to think calmly to face the next corner and possible dangers. Moreover,

The difference between the heartbeats at the start and during the race is relatively large, so the cardiopulmonary function of the racing driver must be different from that of ordinary people.

Not only that, body endurance is also important for speedsters. In a competition, even the shortest race lasts more than ten hours, but the total body fat consumption and dehydration after more than ten hours of competition will exceed ten hours.

When weighing more than 100 kilograms, they need to replenish water, but they also need to take into account the dangers around them. Massive dehydration can cause shock, and once the driver loses consciousness and makes an omission, it may be devastating for the rider.

In addition, although there is a thermostat in the cockpit, damage will inevitably occur during the competition. If the thermostat fails, the temperature in the cockpit will rise to more than 20 degrees higher than body temperature, so there is no good patience.

Accidents may occur due to strength and endurance, so a driver's physical strength is a guarantee for them.

The gray cat didn't observe the young man carefully, but only paid attention to the broken car, and said with disdain, "That broken car is still a speedster?"

Xilin patted the gray cat's head and said, "Go to sleep quickly, it will be dawn soon!"

Two days before arriving in Fengcheng, Xilin and Tangqiuqiu didn't go too far. They just walked around in Winduo, because the car race in Fengcheng would have to wait until three days later, and the car races in other areas

It’s too far, Tang Qiuqiu doesn’t want to go too far, and besides, the car races in any region are actually the same, so we’ll first look at the car races in Windy City.

During the two days he stayed here, Xilin also got to know the landlord a little bit.

That boy's name is Udoze Wentz, and Wentz is his surname. Generally speaking, in the Star Alliance, some big families with compound names like to put their surnames first to show respect for the family. So, instead,

To put it bluntly, for people like Udo Ze, many people will classify him as a civilian as long as they see his name without meeting anyone.

"Udoze" means "chasing" in the language of the F sector. It seems that Udoze likes his name very much. I heard that Mrs. Wentz once wanted to change his name to him, but he refused.

Already.

Mr. Wentz died when Udoze was very young. As long as it was due to physical reasons, Mr. Wentz had been often sick since birth. Therefore, in order for Mr. Wentz to leave descendants, when Mr. Wentz was sixteen years old,

At that time, Mr. Wentz's parents asked him to marry Mrs. Wentz, who was ten years older than him, the woman Xilin had seen in the yard.

However, after Mr. Wentz passed away, his brother kicked out Mrs. Wentz and Udo, who was only two years old at the time. The orphans and widowers lived on the edge of the city.

I forgot to mention that the Wentz family had a relatively large flying car model store in the center of the Windy City Wentz. It was later acquired by outsiders and the name of the store has been changed. However, it is now getting better and better. The Wentz family's

Others also have considerable incomes. In contrast, Udo and Mrs. Wentz are much miserable.

Udo works for Wentz's team in Windy City. Although the income is not much, it can support the life of mother and son. In addition, he also collects rent. This house was not like this before. It was basically filled with sand. Later,

Udo earned some money from the team, knocked down the sand and stone house and then rebuilt the stone house.

Because Udoze spends most of his time traveling outside, he doesn’t worry about his mother being alone at home if the house is rented out. After all, not all the tenants here are easy to get along with. Therefore, Udoze himself is the one who rents out the house every time.

When looking for a tenant, look for someone who seems easy to get along with and has a high reputation. If he can't find a suitable one, he would rather not rent it out.

Although it uses energy storage batteries, the speed of this old car driven by Udo is much faster than other energy storage battery-driven speed cars, because he makes full use of the wind, and in these extremely challenging and

A dangerous place, calm and composed.

Wu Duoze's whole body seemed to be integrated with the speeding car. He did not need to rely too much on the airflow balancer. He could judge the next move just by the subtle impact of the airflow on the car body.

This person seems to be born to live in the wind, flying freely.

In uninhabited areas, people are afraid of the wind here and avoid it. But Udo feels extremely friendly, and he can feel the motivation these winds bring to him.

These winds seemed to tell him: You can go faster, do better, go faster, go faster...

At this moment, Udo forgot about Xilin in the back seat of the car and was completely immersed in himself, the speed car and the wind.

When passing through a corner, Udo skillfully controlled the car body, using the airflow and howling wind around the corner to allow him to complete the corner more perfectly, but... he did not consider Xilin in the back seat of the car.

.

One more person adds an extra weight, a factor that he cannot control. So when he followed the control he had done thousands of times before, he suddenly discovered his negligence, the protruding piece of rock beside the mountain.

The rock is getting closer and closer to the car.

However, Udo reacted quickly, adjusting the control wheel with faster hand speed, turning the rudder, and then tilting his body at a certain angle to match the movements of the body. This series of actions was only completed in an extreme time, and the body was almost

Scratching the edge of the rock.

After passing the bend, Udo did not continue driving in this narrow tube. Instead, he drove the speeding car out of the narrow tube and landed behind the big rock mountain. He popped out the grab pin and grabbed the big rock mountain tightly to prevent the speeding car from being blown away by the wind.

After the speed car stopped, Udo lay on the rudder and panted.

"Oh, there was a mistake." Xilin opened his eyes and said.

"Shut up, if you weren't in the car, how could I be in this situation?!" Udo yelled, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his back was covered in cold sweat. The experience just now was indeed too thrilling and unexpected.

It exceeded his expectation, but fortunately, it was still under control, otherwise, the two of them would have died here today.

"You can't attribute the fault caused by your own negligence to others. After all, you knew about me before I was in the car, but you forgot about it at that time. Instead, you habitually followed the previous operations and used inertial thinking to control. This

It's your own fault, there's no denying it."

Udo didn't say anything anymore. He also knew where his mistake was. Indeed, this was a lesson. He was too confident, so confident that he ignored crucial factors.

"But the operation just now was very good. At least you didn't panic. If your reaction time was 0.1 seconds late, then we would have had explosive contact with the rock."

Udo suddenly realized something. The man sitting in the back seat was so calm, as calm as a bystander.

"Are you also a speedster?" Udo asked solemnly.

You know, in the Windy City, there are a lot of taboos between drivers. Competitors don't like their control habits to be noticed. In that case, it will be very detrimental to them.

"No, I spend more time flying fighter planes than flying cars." Xilin said. In the sixth team, fighter piloting is a compulsory course for combatants. If you don't even know how to fly a fighter plane, then you are still fighting.

When he heard the fighter plane, Udo's eyes lit up, but then darkened.

"Want to fly a fighter plane?" Xilin asked.

"It would be a lie to say that I don't want to, but that idea is too vague." Udo buried his head in his arms and said dullly, "Do you know what my job is?"

"I only know you work for the team."

"Haha, work..." Udo smiled self-deprecatingly, "Did you know that in the team, there is a kind of person called a double.
