Is that enough?

What kind of pipe dream are you having here?

I don't know how I came up with those words.

Listening to the driver's words, I was completely baffled.

If I had completed the task, why would I have been moving as slowly as a snail?

It's no exaggeration to say that if we just went down and walked, we would be much faster than this.

Now they're telling me this energy is enough, how am I supposed to believe that?

A thought suddenly occurred to me: what if the driver had no intention of taking us to our destination at all?

This possibility is small, but it's not impossible.

Otherwise, why would he keep dawdling here, and why would he keep in airplane mode for the entire first half to block me out?

They didn't offer a single piece of truthful or accurate information, and they had no solid facts to share with us.

In other words, we obtained everything by deducing things ourselves or by forcibly provoking him with the lightning sword.

The way the driver managed to do things makes me think he was doing something specific, rather than genuinely trying to help me.

Or perhaps he was too attached to his car, and too attached to himself.

"That's enough? Then why did you say you needed to get more water earlier...?"

"This is what you said while you were in a daze. Are you trying to renege on your promise?!"

At that moment, the girl must have realized that something was wrong.

After all, she is more likely to trust others because the environment here is indeed something we have never experienced before.

Even though Yiyi is one of the most powerful figures in the manor, she has only been to this shallow area a few times.

It's completely impossible to have any experience or too many ideas.

Thinking about this, I felt utterly isolated and helpless.

When we asked him questions, the bearded man suddenly became sincere again.

As he pondered this, he seemed to recall the instructions Old Liu had given him earlier.

The bearded man raised his eyebrows and let out a long sigh.

At this point, I could clearly see him adjusting his breathing. Because the car was moving so slowly, even if he turned around and spoke to us at this moment, nothing else would change.

Firstly, there are no other vehicles approaching nearby, so it's very safe.

Furthermore, assuming they actually encountered something like sea scabies mites, the driver would definitely have ways to subdue them.

So I'm basically not worried at all.

Just after this guy let out a long sigh of relief, I clearly felt that the hovercar was going a little faster than before.

Or rather, not just a little, but much faster.

I felt very fortunate to feel this subtle change.

It seems that this hovercar is indeed very slow at normal speeds, but if the driver's subjective will is added, it might actually be able to go faster!

Part of the power driving this hovercar comes from the bearded driver in front of us; the car's speed only changes when his emotions shift.

But now I don't feel that there's much higher potential for this car.

Although it was faster, this speed was fleeting.

In the blink of an eye, it's still moving as slowly as a snail.

As I watched the scenery change outside the car window, it felt like I was on a sightseeing bus.

After trying to open the car window slightly, that fishy smell rushed up again.

I felt nauseous and uncomfortable.

It was this smell that made me cough twice, almost without thinking.

The dull pain in my chest has intensified.

Every second felt nerve-wracking, and a cold sweat broke out on my back.

Without hesitation, I immediately closed the window.

I know this is another consequence of that treaty.

Not only me, but the girl next to me also tugged at my body at almost the same time.

A similar expression of pain appeared on his entire body.

No, this thing is too much of a rip-off, too much of a hassle!

"I will harness the energy around us for my own use, and as long as no other vehicles compete with us... the car will quickly pick up speed..."

This guy spoke haltingly, but he exuded a very confident air about him.

It seems that what he said is true.

"Master, at this speed, when will we get to Lanjia's house?"

Out of respect for Lao Liu, I tried my best to keep my tone calm and suppress the irritation in my heart.

To be honest, if this were just an ordinary driver, I probably would have jumped out of the car already, or if he had blocked our way, I might have even attacked him.

Because, as things stand now, time is of the essence for us.

"Yes, Master, you see, we're really running out of time to finalize the contract, and as you just saw, we're in a very bad state right now."

And my legs…”

As Yiyi spoke, she pointed to her legs, and I could clearly feel that the back seats were quite warm.

It was brought about by this scorching heat.

It was at this moment that the driver, seemingly pretending not to have seen anything, began repeating the instructions Lao Liu had given him, including all the kindness Lao Liu had shown him.

“Master, please stop talking about mechanization. Once our contract expires, we’ll both be gone. There won’t even be a chance to save us.”

The girl continued speaking.

Immediately afterward, he stopped worrying about what Old Liu might know and simply took the Dew Branch out of his pocket.

The dew-covered branches now gleam with a faint light that is slightly brighter than before.

However, he still felt very weak overall.

"Master, I don't know if you recognize this thing, but the energy inside it can definitely tempt many people."

Now we need the blue armor to keep this thing alive, and also to keep both of us alive!

If this continues, even if we eventually reach that stone house, I don't think Ningluzhi will be able to save her.

The girl's voice was very sincere, but as for me, I wouldn't even bother to say anything more to the driver, except that we were indeed living under someone else's roof right now.

If we go out rashly like this, we might really be attacked by those sea scabies mites.

It's at least safer here.

However, this speed is really not good enough.

The bearded driver didn't move his hands on the steering wheel, but simply spoke.

"No, let's wait a little longer."

It was described very casually.

Wait a little longer?

I have no idea how he came up with that.

"Master, don't worry about it, let's just go out. If he tries to stop us again, I'll just chop his car door off with one stroke!"

"They're bullying me even at my grandma's house!"

As Lei Jijian spoke, he was about to swing his sword at the driver.

With a whoosh, lightning surged from his body.

It suddenly made the already somewhat dark interior of the car bright and airy.
