Chapter 19 Quiz
March 14.
This day was the eighth day when the hunter went on a hunger strike, cut off water, and insomnia.
The first three days were not difficult, after all, his physique was different from ordinary people, but on the fourth day, the situation suddenly took a sharp turn.
Symptoms of dehydration, hunger, fatigue... These long-awaited feelings suddenly surged as if they had destroyed a certain boundary line.
The cultivation of the Hunter has truly begun from this moment.
In the next few days, in addition to listening to Shi Sanwen's lectures in the car during the day, at night, he had to run all night while being extremely sleepy and could fall asleep while standing.
He hadn't felt like going to the bathroom for many days, and no matter how he ran, he couldn't sweat a drop, and even his saliva could not be secreted.
His stomach has shrunk to one-third of its original size due to hunger, and his sense of smell has become more sensitive than that of dogs. He can sense where everything that can be eaten or cannot be eaten within a radius of hundreds of meters...
What's even more terrifying is that this hellish day shows no sign of ending.
However, the Lieba did not raise any objections to this, and even the words of complaining were gone... He used his willpower to support his body, which had already broken through the limit, and continued his daily routine.
Perhaps some people may think that he was forced to do it due to Shi Sanwen's tyranny.
But it's not...
To be honest, the Hunter is not afraid of anything, including death, because he is already a veritable "life is worse than death".
What supports him now are two ideas:
First, he was secretly competing with Shi Sanwen in his heart. He just wanted to see how long this "power mentor" was ready to torture him. As long as the other party didn't take the initiative to let go, he would continue to bear it. If he died, he would die. Anyway, he did it according to Shi Sanwen's method. If he died, it would be that Shi Sanwen was wrong and he won.
Secondly, at this point, he was also very curious about how long he could last... How far could the limit beyond the limit be pushed?
In this way, the Hunter ushered in the eighth day of cultivation.
It was also on this day that they came to Istanbul, the most important transit station in Zhangsan’s planned route.
Here, there is a railway called "land wonder". On this railway, there is only one train running all year round, code-named "Oriental Express"; those who board this train can cross the European continent overnight and go directly to Paris from Istanbul.
There is no doubt that the "Oriental Express" in the 23rd century parallel universe is completely different from the same name in the 19th century; it was designed and supervised by Charles Roll, a legendary inventor active in the early 22nd century of the universe, and is one of the largest land projects completed in the early years of the Federation.
It is called "miracle" because Dr. Roll, who designed it, is a weirdo; the greatest inventor of the last century, not only did he feel awkward in a very poor sense of direction, but he refused to drive any means of transportation that he had not built himself, so he created such a thing that you might only see in cartoons...
The metal track of the railway is in the shape of an animal's spine. In addition to the horizontal tracks laid at the bottom, there are curved upward extensions on both sides of the track, and the width of the bottom of the railway track alone reaches twelve meters.
Yes, a full twelve meters, from this we can see that the things driving in this "spine track" are extremely huge.
If the common rail train is compared to a snake, then the "Oriental Express" is a one-stop. It is not so much a train as a land aircraft carrier and a mobile fortress...
The huge cylindrical body with a slightly flat bottom and top is not divided into "head and tail". The appearance of both ends of the body is completely symmetrical; its cab is located in the middle of the entire train, and there is only one operating rod in the entire cab. If you beat the pole to the west, the train will start, drive to Paris, and automatically stop after reaching the finish line. Similarly, if you beat the pole to the east, the train will follow the same track, "the tail to the front", and then drive from Paris to Istanbul.
Of course, during driving, the pole cannot be beaten, and the train also has a corresponding safety system. If there is a certain entrance and exit on the car when it is stationary, the operating pole will also enter a stuck state.
In any case, Dr. Roll's work, which "walks between geniuses and idiots," finally withstood the test of time with the support of his strong technical power.
For a century, this "can drive even stupidity" train has been reunited on both wings of the European continent. With its unparalleled safety, speed and transportation capabilities, it has become one of the most famous landmarks on the planet.
This kind of thing that has been regarded as the "common cultural heritage of all mankind" will not be targeted even during wartime, so it was chosen by Zhang San as their means of transportation through the war zone.

In the afternoon, it started to rain heavily.
For three fugitives who were hunted by the federal government, this weather is not bad.
With a few fake documents and a few raincoats, Lieba and others didn't spend much effort to get under the camera and boarded the Orient Express with the traffic.
With Zhang San's ability, it is not difficult to get three cheap "car tickets (that is, driving directly into the parking car inside the Oriental Express)"; when entering the city, in order to avoid any trouble, he had turned off the anti-surveillance shielding device on the car.
Everything seemed to be very smooth, smooth...it was a little uneasy.
"Levin." When Zhang San parked his car into the parking space in the parking car, Shi Sanwen suddenly spoke and called Lieba.
"What's the matter?" The hunter at this time seemed to be completely different from a few days ago. Since the day of hunger, he has been thinning and haggard almost every day at a speed visible to the naked eye. A strong man who was originally a tiger-back and bear-waisted waist now has a clavicle with deep eyes, deep eyes, turbid voice.
"You have done a good job this week." This seems to be the first time Shi Sanwen has given the Hunter affirmation in his practice. "Now it's time to have a small test and test your results."
Hearing this, the Lieba was shocked and thought to himself: "Isn't it just that I'm about to die after all this week?"
But he could only say a "Ah?" like a candle in the wind to express his doubts.
Shi Sanwen didn't ask him to wait any longer, and immediately explained: "About three days ago, a pretty strong guy targeted us... He was very cautious and kept a long distance from us, waiting for an opportunity; if nothing unexpected happened... he should have followed the clues of the Cairo incident, because he knew that I had the ability to kill the guards in seconds, so he was worried and never took action."
Speaking of this, he paused, turned his head from the passenger seat, and looked at the Hunter sitting in the back of the car: "At this moment, he has followed us on the Orient Express and approached an unprecedented distance...
"Obviously, this guy felt that the time was right and he was going to do it.
"I'm not sure where his grasp comes from. Maybe he will judge that the train will give him some advantage after entering the driving state.
"Anyway, according to my speculation, when the train moves, that is, when he attacks, the test you give you is... to solve it."
After hearing this, the Lieba laughed: "Ha...hahaha..."
Lieba smiled on his face, but he felt a little anxious to cry in his heart, but he had long since lost water and could not squeeze out tears.
"I said..." Lieba continued with a wry smile, "Even when I was full of energy a week ago, I might not be able to handle this because of the concern that I could not use my ability to prevent atrocities,"... Huh..." It was very difficult to say such a long sentence, and he had to take a breath and continue, "Now, I am almost dead. Do you think I can solve the problem of the 'really strong guy' in your mouth?"
His question made sense, but Shi Sanwen replied in a very relaxed tone: "The supernatural knowledge I have told you these days, as long as you listen carefully... you should be able to handle this test easily."
