  On the endless prairie, a blue-and-white high-speed train blew its whistle, and suddenly several hares gnawing on the grass near the railway line fled in all directions.

  The herds of cattle farther away are not afraid, because they have long been accustomed to this monster rumbling to the distance.

  In the VIP business car, Zuo Yi leaned against the window, admiring the scenery outside through the thick glass.

  The train he was on was the world-famous Xiaou Express.

This railway starts from Shanghai in Daxia in the east and ends in Lanou Port in Xises in the west. It spans the entire Eurasian continent with a length of more than 15,000 kilometers. It passes through hundreds of cities in 17 countries. It is the longest high-speed railway in the world. .

  The Xiaou Railway Express can be called the project of the century. It was approved in the early 1990s, and it was only completed and opened to traffic three years ago.

Zuo Yi was very interested in this Eurasian Continental Bridge under construction before he traveled to the world of Sadya, because in order to attract tourists, the Xiaou Express did not take the most economical route, but chose the route as much as possible The country\'s famous tourist cities set up stations and make them the longest scenic line.

  As a senior traveling friend, Zuo Yi at that time planned to find a way to book the first train of the Xiaou Express after returning from South America to take a long journey between Asia and Europe.

   As a result, this wish has not been realized until now.

   But fulfilling the wish of the year is only one purpose of Zuo Yi\'s trip to Europe. He will get off at Illiano City and get rid of Peter Maxim.

  Ilya is located in the middle of the Eurasian continent. It is the bridgehead from Chara and Iro to the European continent. Its geographical location is extremely important. There are two stations of the Xiaou train in Ilya. Apart from the capital, it is the city of Rano.

  Lano City is a famous historical city in Ilia, with quite good natural and cultural scenery. Before the outbreak of the civil war, it was also the most famous tourist city in Ilia.

  The reason why Zuo Yi didn\'t fly directly to Lano City is because according to the information provided by No. 13 Pawn Shop, Peter Maxim usually lives in a simple and mysterious way, and even assigns representatives to attend important meetings of the city council.

  The closest people to the stick-bearer of the Council of Truth do not know his specific itinerary, so without accurate information, Zuo Yi can\'t act blindly so as not to startle the snake.

  But Peter Maxim will hold a regular meeting every month, and the location is all in the former Iro military base in Rano City, and he will definitely appear in person at that time.

   This is the best chance for Zuo Yi to make a move!

  The regular meeting attended by Peter Maxim will be held in five days, so he has enough time to take the Xiaou Express to reach his destination.

  Another point is that Gu Yunxi left Daxia on the Xiaou Railway that had just opened to traffic.

   Zuo Yi felt that there was a thread in the dark, connecting himself with Gu Yunxi.

  After solving Peter Maxim, he will search for Gu Yunxi\'s whereabouts in Europe, and determine whether the latter is hiding somewhere in Europe or has gone to the wild world.

   Then bring Boa\'s mother back!

  The soft music sounded in the carriage, which made Zuo Yi withdraw his thoughts.

  It\'s time for lunch.

  He got up and left the business car, and came to the dining car connected behind.

  The trains of the Xiaou Express are divided into seats, sleepers and business boxes. The price of the business box is the most expensive, equipped with a special dining car, and of course the service is the best.

  Zuo Yi got on the train at the departure station in Shanghai. It will take two days and two nights to arrive in Lano City. Today\'s lunch is a buffet. He picked some food at random with a plate, found a seat and sat down.

   There are not many passengers in the business dining car, but they are all rich people, because the price of the business box on the Xiaou Express is more expensive than the first class on the plane, and ordinary people can\'t afford it.

  Most of these tourists are Daxia people, basically in groups, and it is very rare for Zuo Yi to be alone.

   "Hello, sir."

  Zuo Yi was just about to eat, when a pleasant voice suddenly came from beside him.

  He looked up and saw a young woman smiling and asking, "Is there anyone else sitting here?"

  This woman is in her twenties. She looks beautiful and is dressed in fashion. Her frown and smile are full of charm, especially a pair of big charming eyes with a hint of cunning in her flexibility, which makes people feel good about her.

  There was someone watching her secretly, completely forgetting about the female companion beside her.

  Zuo Yi shook his head calmly: "No."

  The young woman asked: "Then can I sit here?"

  Zuo Yi smiled: "Of course."

"thanks."

  The beautiful woman sat down opposite Zuo Yi and put down her dinner plate at the same time.

  Her lunch was very simple, she only chose some vegetable salad and fruit, and a thin slice of bread.

  The young woman seemed a little embarrassed by this, and explained: "I gained a few catties a while ago, and I\'m losing weight recently."

  Her voice is nice, and her attitude is very friendly and natural, as if she is talking to a friend rather than a stranger.

  Ordinary men will definitely feel flattered, and they must have a few words with her.

  But Zuo Yi just nodded politely, and then concentrated on dealing with the food in front of him.

  Although he didn\'t feel any malice, he didn\'t think that this young and beautiful woman fell in love with him at first sight, so he took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him.

   During this trip to Europe, Zuo Yi not only changed his identity, but also wore "Thousand Faces".

   "Thousand Faces" is a creation of laws from the world of Sadya. After wearing it, it can change its appearance and voice at will, and it is almost impossible to see through. It is a legendary treasure.

   This mask is Zuo Yi\'s trophy, but he rarely uses it.

  The main purpose of coming to Europe this time is to find Gu Yunxi\'s whereabouts. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, this equipment is used.

The current Zuo Yi is the third Alpha strongman in Daxia, and he has also fought against two Alphas from America. His identity information must have been grasped by various extraordinary forces long ago. For Ou Lu, the impact would be very great, and it would be even more impossible to openly look for Gu Yunxi.

  The appearance that Zuo Yi "pinched" for himself is ordinary, and it belongs to the kind that can\'t be found in the crowd, so the purpose of this beautiful woman who approached proactively is intriguing.

  Zuo Yi had no intention of investigating the other party\'s details, so he put on a cold attitude, hoping that she would retreat in spite of difficulties.

  The beautiful woman\'s smile was a little stiff.

  Because she clearly felt the rejection from Zuo Yi, the indifferent but firm rejection.

   seems to tell her: I don\'t care what you want to do, please don\'t bother me, thank you!
