Chapter 172 "What? Let's add a few more positions to the car."
At home, it’s late at night.
There was only a small lamp in the living room that gave off a dim glow. Rango and Teddy were sitting side by side on the sofa, scribbling and drawing on a piece of paper on the coffee table.
"Clary, you're quite obedient. You can take her with you."
"What about her parents?"
"We'll discuss it later"
"Quigma and Old Joe?"
"They don't need us to worry about them. It is estimated that the night before the next sacrifice, they will escape to the timeline of more than a hundred years ago and have fun for the rest of their lives."
"curator?"
"Nonsense, of course we have to take them away together."
"Well" Teddy pondered for a while on the curator's name, "He is already so old and married to a woman in her twenties. Do you think he can survive until next year?"
"."
That's right, Rango and Teddy are discussing who they should take with them to live in other worlds before the earth is destroyed.
There were many names written densely on the paper by Teddy, but most of them were crossed out by Lango.
"I understand that you want to take those hundred minions with you, but who is this Manny? I've never heard of it." Rango pointed to a name on it and asked doubtfully.
"It's an old Mexican man selling tacos at the door of the community."
Teddy said confidently: "The tacos he makes are the best in New York."
"Mom, we're on the run, and you have to take an old Mexican man selling burritos with you when you're riding a horse?!"
"Hey, what if we go to the Middle Ages or ancient times? I don't want to be a wild bear that eats hair and drinks blood."
"Anyway, this Manny can't do it. Also, who is this guy named Dick?"
"It's the bartender at the strip bar I frequent, and he gives me a Long Island iced tea every time I go there, and"
"Get out of my way!"
When Lango heard this, he was immediately furious. He grabbed Teddy's neck and threw this guy aside. The list in his hand was more precious than the tickets for Noah's Ark. This bastard actually wrote a lot of them casually. The stranger's name is on it.
He picked up the list and crossed out all the names he had never heard of. According to Teddy's urine, these people were probably either roadside vendors or moon-dressing dancers.
"Hey buddy?"
Teddy got up from the floor, spread his hands and asked him: "I was just joking with you, why are you so angry at me?"
"I don't even plan to take the Dom brothers and sisters, as well as the Smith family, together, but you want to move the entire New York to other worlds!"
"That's your problem, man. The magic book didn't say there is a limit on the number of people. Why don't we save more people and leave? Can we only bring our own family and friends?"
"."
Rango was speechless. This seemed to make sense. He had indeed never heard Yumi say that there was a limit on the number of people.
"Besides, this is just a drafted list, isn't it?" Teddy continued: "Aren't you going to use the magic book to go to other worlds to find helpers to absorb energy? If your plan succeeds, maybe everyone will There’s no need to flee with everyone.”
"yeah."
Lange responded casually, folding his hands behind his head, leaning on the sofa, looking blankly at the swaying light and shadow under the dim light.
Teddy curled his lips in displeasure when he saw this, and the guy put on his "It's best not to ask if I have something on my mind, but I will definitely tell you if I ask" expression.
After living with Rango for so many years, he has already seen this guy through and through. In the past, he might have pretended to be a close friend and asked a few questions, but now Teddy was not in the mood to listen to his chatter.
So, he gently raised his feet and took a few steps back calmly, trying to quickly get out of Lango's sight before his desire to talk arose.
However, before his raised feet could even come down, the man on the sofa had already spoken.
"Yeah, you're right man, I do have some shit going on."
Farke!
Teddy cursed secretly, he obviously didn't say anything!
He quickly adjusted his expression, put on his "best brother" signature smile, walked up to Lango, and said with pretending concern: "Hey, what can't be said between brothers? Don't forget that we are the best. Brother Thunder!”
Lango smiled helplessly after hearing this, and then tilted his head towards Teddy, "Well, since you insist on asking, I have no choice but to tell you."
"I" he hesitated for a while, then slowly said: "I was thinking about going back to the past with Quagma and seeing Pete and the others. Although they have done a lot of ridiculous things, they are really good to me. "
"Waterfa?"
After hearing this, Teddy was speechless and said: "Not long ago, you refused the request of your colleagues in front of Quagma, and you pretended to be like a veteran Hollywood tough guy and said in a low tone, 'I want to save in my own way. In this world, after a cup of coffee, you started to change your mind again?”
Lango smiled awkwardly, his eyes flickering.
When Teddy saw this, he became even more angry, "Mom, if I hadn't grown up with you, I would really want to beat you sometimes."
"Tell me, why did you change your plan?"
Lango's eyes softened and he began to recall the past: "Actually, it has nothing to do with Peter and the others. I just want to see my sister again. You know, in the past days, she was almost always taking care of me. "
"Megan?"
The girl who always had a warm smile appeared in Teddy's mind, and he nodded, expressing his understanding: "You are right, Peter and Louise don't seem like serious people, but Meghan is worth meeting. "
"Right?" Lange recalled the past with an expectant smile on his face, "I think I'd better go there, of course."
He changed the topic and said in a serious tone: "Don't worry, no matter what happens with Peter, after returning from the past, we will continue to use the magic book to explore other worlds and be fully prepared."
Teddy's curiosity was aroused: "So have you decided which world you want to go to?"
Lango shrugged, looking relaxed: "It hasn't been decided yet, but I plan to find a place suitable for people with super powers to survive first."
After speaking, he picked up his coat from the sofa, picked up Teddy, and prepared to go out. Since he decided to take the shuttle back to the future, he had a better choice than the doctor's hands-on assembly of the vehicle.
"Hey, take it easy, take it easy man Fuck! I'm telling you to take it easy, old bastard!"
Click!
——With a crisp sound of metal tearing, McQueen's tail instantly became empty, and the exhaust pipe was skillfully removed by Dr. Brown.
This scene caused Lango and Teddy standing aside to clamp their legs together, and their facial features were distorted, as if they had also undergone an "operation".
McQueen, who was suspended in mid-air, suddenly found that his "important parts" were missing. In panic, he wailed loudly: "Lango! This old bastard took off my exhaust pipe! Damn it!" Damn old pervert! Come and save me!"
"Quiet, young man, I am upgrading you." Dr. Brown explained without looking back, "I want to install a nuclear engine on you. Your current exhaust pipe is too small and cannot withstand the power of the new engine. pressure."
As he spoke, he picked up a huge exhaust pipe that was as black as night from the workbench. The diameter was several times larger than the previous one, and it could be used as a cannon barrel.
"Oh this looks pretty cool."
Upon seeing this, McQueen's anger disappeared instantly. He gently scratched the car body with the front wheel and suggested shyly, "Can you just change it to silver? If it's black, it will make me feel more confident when doing things. No." A feeling of belonging to myself.”
".OK."
Although Dr. Brown looked confused, he still respected McQueen's opinion and picked up the spray paint to start painting the new exhaust pipe.
Not long ago, he was ready to pack his things and take a special plane back to the cabin base in Texas with Quagma, but then Lango drove in with this burgundy Viper supercar.
Not only did he announce his decision to follow them back in time a few decades ago, he also generously donated his own car as a modification object.
Dr. Brown doesn't understand why a car can talk, but according to Lango, McQueen, like Teddy, was blessed by God, so he has the ability to speak.
But none of this mattered to him. After a while of hands-on operation, he found that McQueen's body structure matched surprisingly well with the nuclear engine he developed, so he readily agreed.
Of course, modifications aren't just limited to the engine. You know, traveling through time and space requires not only speed, but also a series of complex technical support and safety protection measures.
On the other side, Lango looked at the thick exhaust pipe that McQueen had reinstalled, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
With such a large model, if this kid wants to play in the future, he can only go to the tarmac of the airport.
"Lango."
In a corner not far away, Quagma, who had been staring at his phone, suddenly said: "Since you decide to go back to the past, then I won't go."
"Why?" Lange asked puzzled: "Although McQueen is a sports car, it is not difficult to add two more seats to the car. It will be no problem to seat a few more people."
"Well, how should I explain it to you."
Quagma scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed: "In that era, our Four Horsemen's homes were all very close to each other. Once you meet your parents, it's inevitable that you'll meet me at that time. To be honest, I'm not too sure I want to face my younger self.”
"Live together?"
Lango became even more confused, "But I never saw you in Queens, New York when I was a kid?"
"That's because the place where you lived when you were a child was specially chosen by Peter and the others later on." Quagma explained, "And your real hometown is not there."
He continued to explain: "At that time, we lived together in a small town called Round Clam. The folk customs there were simple and the residents were kind-hearted ordinary people. There was also a Round Clam bar in the town. Every night, our Four Knights They would hang out there and drink all night long.”
He continued to tell a lot of stories about how they were romantically involved in Round Clam Town when they were young, and then the scene suddenly changed and he frowned and said: "However, the strange thing is that not long after you were born, Peter and Louise Suddenly decided to leave the town and move to New York, the home you are familiar with.”
"."
After hearing this, Lange nodded speechlessly, "Well, I really have no interest in delving into these old memories. So, the main reason why you don't want to go back is that you are afraid of seeing your younger self, right?"
"Haha, of course there are other reasons."
Quagma laughed a few times and suddenly showed the phone screen to Rango and Teddy.
"Fake?! You just stayed in the corner for an hour just watching porn?"
Teddy's eyes widened. On the screen was a scene of more than a dozen naked women entangled, which looked particularly unbearable under the dim light.
"Watching movies? NONONO!" Quagma waved his hands quickly, with a righteous look on his face, "Do you think I will be the kind of man who watches movies in public? Although I am lustful, I still have the most basic moral integrity."
He pointed at the phone screen and explained seriously: "These are a dozen girls who were abducted by me and locked up in the cellar. If I leave, no one will give them food. Alas, it's hard to be a good person, so this mission I have to leave it to you, Lango!"
After saying that, Quagma didn't give them any chance to refute, waved his hands in a hurry, turned and left the warehouse, leaving Rango and Teddy with stunned expressions.
"Lanlango, did he just say that he was a good person?"
"Yeah, and he says he's very ethical."
"Farke, I feel like a new recruit in front of him."
"."
Three days later.
The doctor lived up to expectations and successfully developed the space-time shuttle again. Compared with the last time, this shuttle not only achieved a qualitative leap in safety, but also established a solid guarantee in terms of success rate.
Of course, this was all Dr. Brown's boast. Lange didn't know anything about the specifics before he sat on it.
At this time, a group of people were saying goodbye to them beside a blocked highway in the outskirts of New York.
Lango hugged Gloria, Clare and others one by one. When it was Emma's turn, he hugged her tenderly and whispered in her ear: "I like you now, Emma, so I hope you won’t do anything stupid while I’m away.”
Hearing his words, Emma's eyes glanced over Gloria, Clary and Mavis on the other side, then she showed a sweet smile on her face and nodded heavily.
Rango patted her head and rubbed her head, and smiled at the others. If there were no accidents during this time travel, he would not stay there for long, so except for Teddy and Yumi, he did not Take the rest with you.
He brought Teddy with him because of habit, and Yumi brought him with him because if the old guy like the doctor was not good enough and couldn't come back after the shuttle, he could use the coordinates based on the magic book to return to the current world.
Without further ado, Lange waved goodbye to everyone and resolutely opened the door of the shuttle car. McQueen's interior configuration, which was once like a decoration, has been completely renovated. The newly added radio frequency-like device is exactly the time and space shuttle coordinates mentioned by Dr. Brown, which will lead himself and others to travel through different time dimensions.
Rango fastened his seat belt, held Yumi and Teddy tightly in his arms, and nodded to the excited doctor beside him.
As the doctor hit the steering wheel hard, the modified McQueen let out a deafening roar, and the air pump at the rear spurted rocket-like flames, instantly ejecting the vehicle.
Under the reluctant eyes of Gloria and others, McQueen turned into a bolt of lightning, carrying dazzling electric light across the sky.
The electric light suddenly exploded, and the car disappeared without a trace, leaving only two blazing flame trails on the ground caused by high-speed friction, witnessing all this.
