Looking up at the boundless starry sky, Wen Yan suddenly felt dizzy.
She couldn't stand it any longer and immediately sat down on the spot.
Shen Jingcheng quickly came over and handed her a bag of bread and a bottle of mineral water, asking with concern:
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Didn't you sleep well?"
"I think I'm having a headache because I slept too much. Thank you."
"That's all we have, please make do with what we have."
"I'm fine with anything, I quite like bread. By the way, how much longer until we get there?"
Shen Jingcheng squinted and looked into the distance: "It's probably about a two-hour drive away."
“Two more hours,” Wen Yan glanced at her watch. “It’s 2 a.m. You haven’t slept a wink since we got off the plane. Let me drive for a bit. The car has GPS, right?”
Shen Jingcheng shook his head: "No. It's still in the protection and research stage, and it's not shown on the map."
"That's true." Wen Yan smiled. "I'm such a blockhead. What about this road that doesn't quite look like a road? It shouldn't be on the map, right?"
"No."
"So, if we just keep driving along this road, will we get to number 46?"
You were right.
"That's fine! I'll drive in a bit, you can take a nap. It's deserted here. Although I've never seen number 46 before, I should be able to recognize it at a glance when we get there, right?"
Shen Jingcheng tilted his head and thought for a moment: "What you said doesn't seem to make any mistakes."
"Okay, let's eat quickly. Aren't you going to eat?"
"I ate in the car while you were asleep, so I'm not hungry. But there's no rush, take your time eating."
"That won't do, I'm in a hurry!"
Shen Jingcheng chuckled: "You're quite honest."
Wen Yan laughed too, saying casually, "I've already come to this godforsaken place with you, what else do I have to hide?"
Wen Yan was really anxious, and she stuffed a piece of bread the size of her palm into her mouth in no time.
After cleaning up the trash, she stood up impatiently: "Let's go, Professor Shen, time waits for no one!"
Shen Jingcheng couldn't help but chuckle as he watched her hurried figure disappear into the distance.
Even in her haste, she didn't forget to pick up the tiny piece of plastic that had fallen to the ground.
The world can't live without such a lovely girl like her.
Shen Jingcheng even began to question his own decision, asking her if everything he said about No. 46 was really correct.
He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
It wasn't until Wen Yan's voice pulled him back to reality.
"Professor Shen, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and get in the car."
Shen Jingcheng snapped out of his daze: "They're here."
Wen Yan started the car. Although she said she was in a hurry and that time was of the essence, she drove very steadily.
Shen Jingcheng glanced at her, wanting to say something but unable to find a topic.
Wen Yan noticed his hesitation and considerately broke the silence in the car.
"Take a nap. There's only one road, so I won't get lost. I'll wake you up when we get there."
Shen Jingcheng nodded: "Okay, then I'll rest for a while."
He thought he wouldn't be able to fall asleep, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he started to feel sleepy.
Wen Yan didn't bother him anymore and just kept driving along the road ahead.
All along the way, there were only receding mountain shadows, and not a single light.
But then, Wen Yan saw a light ahead, and it was getting closer and closer.
She felt it was time to wake Shen Jingcheng and ask if they had arrived at their destination, but before she could even open her mouth, her head spun, and she felt dizzy.
But she was still driving, which was too dangerous.
Her remaining rationality told Wen Yan that she was no longer in a good state to drive and had to stop the car immediately.
But no matter how hard I pressed the brake pedal, I couldn't get any pressure on it.
"What happened! How could this happen?! Shen Jingcheng, the brakes on this car are broken!"
Wen Yan panicked, frantically slamming on the brakes while glancing at Shen Jingcheng in the passenger seat.
That one glance left Wen Yan frozen in place.
The person in the passenger seat shouted at her, "Wen Yan, brake! Step on the brake!"
Wen Yan was stunned, speechless!
She's stepping on it.
She was slamming on the brakes!
But I can't step on it, I just can't step on it at all.
Moreover, the person in the passenger seat was not Shen Jingcheng.
It's not the face! It's not the voice either!!!
It's that fat man who's been appearing in Wen Yan's dreams lately.
"Who are you?"
"Slam on the brakes! Slam on the brakes!!!"
"Who are you?!"
The fat man screamed loudly, and Wen Yan also erupted.
This dream and the person in it have been bothering her for days, and today it even appeared while she was driving, which is incredibly annoying.
"Brake! Brake! Wen Yan, it'll be too late if you don't stop now! Xiao Meng is pregnant! This isn't just a normal stomachache, she's pregnant! If something happens to her, it'll be a double tragedy!"
Xiaomeng?
Who is Xiaomeng?
Wen Yan subconsciously turned around and looked at the back seat of the car.
Sure enough, there sat a young girl, clutching her stomach in pain; she was the same young girl who had appeared in her dreams countless times.
She was covered in sweat and looked to be in a lot of pain.
Wen Yan no longer cared whether it was a dream or what was really going on.
She pounded on the steering wheel helplessly, her voice almost trembling with tears.
"The brakes aren't working, they're not working, Fatty! The ground collapsed, we've fallen in."
As soon as she said those words, Wen Yan immediately felt weightless.
