After a massive downpour, the rain miraculously stopped for a while.
The rain was so heavy just now that they didn't even have time to notice before the giant snake disappeared, probably washed away by the wind and rain.
After confirming that there was no rain, the group stopped the car and went out for some fresh air. It's no exaggeration to say that it was so cold outside that it felt like your breath would freeze instantly.
She was down for less than three seconds when Huang Yiyi couldn't stand it anymore and went up first.
Not long after, Cheng Zhi and the others went up as well. The reason was that it was too cold outside and the air was not very fresh, with a generally murky feeling.
Now it was Chen Yi's turn to drive. Looking at the road sign in the distance, which was half corroded, he was very worried. "Now that the GPS isn't working, if the road sign is also broken, how are we supposed to get around?"
This is a very serious problem. If Chen Yiyi hadn't brought it up, Cheng Zhi and the others would have completely forgotten about it.
Huang Yiyi reacted the most, her eyes wide open. "Damn it, if there are no road signs, how are we going to get home?" she said, looking pleadingly at Cheng Zhi and Xiao Feiran.
Cheng Zhi thought for a while. They had forgotten about this matter along the way and hadn't left any distinctive marks.
Xiao Feiran looked around the car, her gaze finally settling on the trash can. "Who said we didn't leave anything distinctive behind? Hello Kitty trash bags!"
They stocked up on these things when they first started college. They figured they needed garbage bags anyway, so they bought a whole box, and they still have more than half a box left.
When the trash gets full along the way, they collect it and throw it away in the nearest trash can. If there's no trash can, they just leave it on the side of the road.
When the topic of trash cans came up, Cheng Zhi looked troubled. "Won't they all stink by the time we get back? And then we'll have to rummage through the trash cans. Just thinking about it makes me want to smell."
Xiao Feiran thought about it. When she threw it away, the trash can was already full. She either piled it on top or placed it next to her. It shouldn't have been to the point of rummaging through the trash can.
The current situation is not too bad; it's not like there's absolutely no protection. At least there's a garbage bag to mark the spot.
Not long after we started driving, it started raining again outside.
At first, no one paid much attention, until Chen Siyu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, got up to get a drink of water and glanced out the window unintentionally, only then did she notice that the rain seemed to have changed color.
To get a better view of them, they even stopped the car, and several people pressed their faces against the glass, looking at the small ditch in the distance.
To be honest, this was the first time Cheng Zhi and the other two had met him.
After the three of them got caught in the rain once in their past lives, they dared not even go near the window when it rained. Moreover, during that time, they stayed in a large shopping mall, eating and sleeping in the underground supermarket. Occasionally, when it got too cold, they would come up to get a couple of clothes. They had no contact with the outside world at all.
Zheng Wan looked at the small ditch, where the water was piling up, and couldn't help but gasp. "My God, it's light red, like blood. It's terrifying."
Qi Yanche was also staring outside, and unconsciously said, "If it was just a little bit of poison before, it's now extremely poisonous."
The rain, this color, falling on the ground and white buildings, looked like it had been drenched in blood. Xiao Feiran felt uncomfortable and stepped back. "This is hell on earth."
After they had seen enough, the group continued on their way, fearing that the rainwater was too corrosive and their vehicle would fall apart halfway through the journey.
"Let's see if there's a tunnel tonight, we can hide inside and check the situation outside the car." Cheng Zhi looked outside somewhat uneasily.
Xiao Feiran leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "What if this car really breaks down? We can't just pull out a new car in front of them, can we?"
We definitely can't take it out in front of them. We'll find a way to take it out somewhere far away and say that they found it on the roadside.
They would divide the work: one group would hold off the two boys, while the other group would pretend to go out to find a car. Cheng Zhi thought this should work.
Fortunately, the area is mountainous, and they successfully found a tunnel at night.
The tunnel was quite long. After getting out of the car, they only glanced around briefly before starting to inspect the vehicle.
Perhaps they had been traveling alone for too long, and for a moment they felt there was no one else in the world, so they let their guard down. They were completely unaware of the homeless man hiding in the darkness not far away.
Qi Yanche and Cheng Zhi got into the car first, while Chen Yiyi was still squatting on the ground checking the condition of the wheels. Xiao Feiran stood by the door urging him to get into the car quickly.
Suddenly, a figure flashed by, grabbed Xiao Feiran's neck from behind, and then tackled her to the ground.
In an instant, Xiao Feiran landed face-first on the ground, his head hitting the ground directly. After letting out a scream, he was in so much pain that he couldn't say a word.
Upon hearing the screams, several people immediately grabbed their weapons and rushed down.
But at this moment, Xiao Feiran had already been taken hostage by the homeless man. It was unclear whether he hadn't groomed his hair and beard for months, and they couldn't even see his face clearly.
When the homeless man saw so many people rushing down, all of them fair-skinned and delicate, he knew they must have plenty of food and drink and had nothing to worry about.
"Oh my, you're all rich kids." The homeless man's eyes were greedy. He looked the armed men up and down before turning his gaze back to Xiao Feiran. "Sorry, I think I've kidnapped your friend. Actually, I don't want much. If you're willing to give me the car, I'll return your friend to you."
Several people stood there silently, their faces ashen.
The homeless man thought they were unwilling and snorted, "Looks like you two aren't that close. You won't even trade a car for a friend."
Seeing the blood continuously seeping from Xiao Feiran's forehead and tracing down her fair face, Cheng Zhi felt her heart clench, wishing she could rush up and stab this heartless bastard to death.
Not only Cheng Zhi and the others noticed the blood on Xiao Feiran's face, but the homeless man next to them did too. Surprised that the girl he was holding was so fair and delicate, the homeless man used his other free hand to stroke Xiao Feiran's face, his greasy, dirty hand brushing across Xiao Feiran's eyes and lips.
"Hehe, if you guys don't want this friend, then keep her for me. I'm lonely by myself, and such a young girl must be quite a treat."
