Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 282 Travel Planning
"Starting from the Rockal Plain, we will first reach Mafat, then cross the Oso Rift Valley, head east, and across the wasteland, we will reach the border of the Pan-Eastern Continental Union. After that, we can choose to enter from Liujiang County or Nan'an County."

The voice paused, and Lapis Lazuli turned his head: "Song Shi, are you listening?"

"I'm here!"

Song Shi quickly put down the data tablet and came over. His hand passed through the holographic map projection on the electronic table in front of him and said, "How could I not have heard it? Uh, wait a moment, let me take a look. Okay, well, how should I put it? The first half of your plan is fine, but the route after reaching the border needs to be changed."

"If you look at the overall map, Liujiang and Nan'an are indeed the borders of the Pan-Eastern Continental Union. This route is indeed the shortest, but they are counties and provinces under the jurisdiction of the [Beiting Defense Front]. But we are going to the [Eastern Continent Republic]. We have to go around a long way from Liujiang and Nan'an to get there, which actually takes more time."

Song Shi knocked on the crystal tabletop and lightly grasped it with his five fingers. The scale of the holographic map silently expanded and stopped at another area: "We will enter from here, Fengzhou County, and after entering, we will cross the two counties and reach Yulai."

"Oh, one more thing. What is my goal? Since I'm going all the way here, theoretically I shouldn't hide it."

Song Shi's gaze lingered on a certain spot on the map. "But... let's put it this way, Lapis Lazuli, I can only tell you that I have to go to Yu Lai to confirm something. I'm not sure what it is yet."

More than a year has passed since I was reborn in this life.

At this time in my previous life, I had been kicked out of the orphanage and started to be self-reliant, wandering around the counties, working part-time jobs while studying psychic powers, and my whereabouts were uncertain, but this was not a big problem.

When a person has lived in a place for a long time, even if he leaves later, the traces left by his long life, like the marks of carpet covering the walls and the wet moss in the cracks of stone steps, will not disappear the moment he leaves.

He was an orphan and had stayed in an orphanage for more than ten years. As long as he went back there, there would be plenty of ways to confirm whether "Song Shi" still existed in this life.

Just these things
In less than two years, he went from being a high school graduate to a third-level psychic. Even for psychics like himself and Chakoro, this was an astonishing speed of advancement - it took him five full years to reach this level in his previous life.

After that, it took twelve years to reach the peak of the fourth ring.

Therefore, whether it was Chakolo or Xu Yudu, including Lapis Lazuli, they all noticed something unusual to some extent, but they just didn't care and just pretended nothing happened.

But as far as I am concerned, the matter of "rebirth" is too bizarre after all, and I don't want to reveal it for the time being.

I never cared about it before. Firstly, there were more important things to do immediately and I didn't have the time to care about these things. Secondly, my strength was still insufficient. Even if I wanted to find out the reason, I was powerless.

Now that everything is done and I have been promoted to the third ring again, I have the preliminary qualifications to "travel around the world with my skills" and I can set off.

——I hope I can find the answer after returning to Yulai.

".Is it so deeply rooted?" After listening to Song Shi's words, Lapis Lazuli spoke after a while.

"Hmm?" Song Shi retracted his gaze and looked at the intelligent machine: "What?"

"The situation of the Pan-Eastern Continental Union."

Lapis Lazuli tapped the holographic projection, causing the map to shrink and reveal the entire Pan-Eastern Continental Union. "I've read the information. The Union was formed during the Seven Lands War when various forces in the Eastern Continent and surrounding areas formed an alliance to seek self-preservation and expansion."

"But the Seven Lands War has ended for nearly seventy years. I thought that even if these forces still exist, they are just a combination of comprehensive interests with a certain influence, similar to political parties. But Song Shi, from what you said, it seems that this is not the case."

"It's not that complicated." Song Shi disagreed: "The historical origins you said in the first half are correct, but the second half is much simpler than you think. Those forces have never been disbanded from beginning to end. You can just treat them as separatist warlords. Each party occupies some counties and provinces, and then each party regularly elects a nominal leader of the Pan-Eastern Continent Federation through the "Nine County Discussion" and puts together a set of ruling institutions. In theory, everyone is under its jurisdiction and management."

"But in reality, each province and county still follows its own rules. Of course, on paper, this is based on the constitution, and it is a legitimate 'autonomy'."

"Oh, right. Let me think about the attitude towards intelligent machines." Song Shi suddenly thought of something and pondered for a while: "The Republic of East Land is absolutely not an option. Even we are discriminated against in that place. You intelligent machines are just pure tools without any rights at all."

"Si Huang Tian is not very good either. I personally don't like the Council of Knowledge. Bei Ting Defense Line is okay. As long as you are strong enough, it's okay. If you are there, maybe..."

“I’m definitely going to take action on this.”

Lapis Lazuli interrupted Song Shi without saying anything to refuse: "But the priority in this regard, at least at the moment, can be lowered. Let's complete your 'confirmation' task first, and then move forward with the actions related to the intelligent machines."

"Makes sense."

Song Shi clapped his hands decisively. He just happened to think of it and said a few words. If he really had to make an action plan now, he might not be willing to do it.

"in addition."

Lapis Lazuli continued, "There is another transportation plan. We can purchase cross-border aviation business with time-series access and go directly to the Pan-Eastern Continental Federation."

".Hmm?" Song Shi was slightly stunned.

Cross-border aviation is considered a high-end service even in the time-based business sequence, and the passenger files must be strictly reviewed.

With my experience, if I took the plane, I would be afraid that as soon as I reached the troposphere, a team of level 5 units would swoop down from the sky and forcefully decapitate me and crash my plane.

The next moment, Song Shi suddenly realized something.

"Have you downloaded the new interesting language module?"

"you guess?"

Song Shi looked at the other person carefully for a few times and said strangely: "That's fine."

ding-ding-

Hearing the ringtone, Song Shi picked up the data tablet and connected to the call.

"Gwenlin, ah. Um, you're ready? So soon? Okay, I'll come over now."

The conversation was very fast. After a few breaths, Song Shi hung up the phone. He waved the data tablet at Lapis Lazuli and said, "Gwenlin, the vehicle is ready. Let's go take a look?"
