Since we have chartered a car, there is naturally nothing more to say.
After receiving 30,000 yuan in ghost money from the wealthy passenger, the driver was overjoyed and slammed the accelerator on the floor. The old-fashioned bus rushed out like a wild horse at an extremely fast speed.
Sitting firmly in the car, Lin Fan and the old man in plain clothes could clearly feel the push on their backs.
I don't know how long I drove, and occasionally I encountered some strange people waving to stop the car along the way, but they all ignored me. The car didn't slow down at all and just drove past.
Seeing this, many weirdos spitted and said, "What kind of crap is this? They won't even take customers. It will go bankrupt sooner or later!"
The bus left Jianghai City and drove into the nearby urban area, a distance of over a hundred kilometers. If other ordinary vehicles were to drive at full speed, it would take an hour, but the Huangquan Bus took less than twenty minutes at full speed.
An old and dilapidated bus that looked like it would fall apart at any moment was actually traveling at a full speed of 300 kilometers per hour, which was even faster than most high-speed trains.
But there is still a long way to go to reach the destination.
The old man in plain clothes was in the car, waiting for a long time and was already feeling sleepy. The cat Baiwan and the dog Shiba were bored and licked each other's fur to kill time.
Only Lin Fan kept a clear head throughout the journey, looking at the many cities he passed by and carefully evaluating and studying the situations in other cities.
In comparison, Jianghai City is much better. After all, it is a first-tier city, and the emergency team has greater control power, so there are no overly blatant and rampant chaotic incidents.
In such a last day, everyone is in danger, and there must be very few people willing to take the risk of death. This also leads to a serious shortage of manpower in the emergency team.
Therefore, the emergency team had no choice but to reduce its staff and only deployed them in large cities. Some border towns that were beyond their control were literally littered with corpses and blood.
The more living people died, the more evil thoughts, resentment, and the smell of blood that were generated seemed to attract more weird things to gather, causing weird things to wander around the streets and run rampant. The whole town was filled with a flowing evil aura, even far surpassing the aura of living people.
In such a harsh environment, order has completely collapsed.
Even during the day, the remaining living people were mostly fighting each other, snatching life-saving supplies and opportunities to survive. Ordinary people would not be able to survive unless they became ruthless.
From this perspective, Tulu City, which may be blessed by the presence of divine objects, is like a paradise.
Although the emergency team headquarters had their own purpose, it was even more rare that they designated the relatively stable Jianghai City as Lin Fan's base instead of these collapsed border counties.
The old man in plain clothes raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the harsh environment around him. His face changed slightly, "I didn't expect the situation outside the city to be so miserable."
He couldn't help but feel fortunate in his heart. He was extremely lucky to have followed Lin Fan before the horrific apocalypse came.
Otherwise, as an old fellow like him, he would either die from a strange ghost or be killed by a villain.
"Perhaps the Emergency Team asked me to take charge of Jianghai City so they could draw personnel from other major cities to suppress and maintain stability in these third- and fourth-tier counties."
Lin Fan replied lightly, and after careful consideration, he came to a conclusion, "It's not just me. It's very likely that all the major cities have been assigned to various powerful contractors to manage."
The old man in plain clothes frowned, "Brother, you said that once the emergency team has finished handling the situation, they will gradually take back the management authority of the major cities."
Lin Fan nodded lightly, "That's right."
Having said that, the purpose of the emergency team is good. They will first paint a big picture and let the powerful people help suppress the major cities free of charge, so that they can wholeheartedly deal with the frequent strange incidents in various counties.
But the emergency team ultimately failed, and the outcome was already determined. The world became a world divided among various major forces, each ruling its own territory.
Thinking of this, Lin Fan sighed.
If the only goal is to save the emergency team, he does have several ways to do so, and it's not impossible for him to help.
Unfortunately, the purpose of the emergency team is not to protect themselves, but to save the world, to save this world that has been strangely dragged into the abyss of doomsday.
Lin Fan was powerless to do anything about this.
…
Lin Fan and the old man in plain clothes set off in a car around five o'clock in the afternoon and drove for nearly three hours, arriving at eight o'clock in the evening, when it was completely dark.
The whole sky was extremely dark, even the moonlight seemed to be hidden. In big cities, there might still be some lights, so it wouldn't be so pitch black that it was difficult to see.
However, the county town that the Huangquan bus finally arrived at was obviously not a big city, but a small coastal town.
After entering the town, there was no light along the way, so there was nothing to see through the car window.
The speed of the Huangquan bus gradually slowed down, and it was obvious that it was getting closer to its destination.
"Where did you end up?"
Lin Fan stood up and asked the driver a strange question.
The driver strangely held the steering wheel with both hands, his neck turned 360 degrees, and looked at Lin Fan politely and sincerely, "We are about to reach our destination, Huangquan Station..."
Lin Fan asked again, "I know. Which city is your company located in?"
At the beginning, when he was still able to distinguish his surroundings, Lin Fan could use relevant landmarks to determine his location.
But the further we walked, the more remote it became, and now we have lost our way.
"East Town."
The driver's strange voice appeared again.
The town was too remote, so even though he knew the name, Lin Fan searched his memory but could not find any information about it.
The old man's eyes lit up, and he explained to Lin Fan, "This Dongcheng Town is not some unknown little town. The first bus came from here decades ago!"
"I see."
Lin Fan felt relieved.
It was something that happened decades ago, so if the driver hadn't mentioned Dongcheng Town and he hadn't been on the bus and attracted attention, even the old man in plain clothes would have found it difficult to recall it, let alone himself.
No wonder Huangquan Station is located here, I think there is some connection.
This trip is indeed troublesome. If we were located in some first-tier large cities, we might have a lot of information that could come in handy based on our memories and experience before rebirth.
But he really didn't know anything about Dongcheng Town, which had been glorious decades ago but had been forgotten by Lin Fan's generation.
We can only take it one step at a time.
After entering Dongcheng Town, the number of old-fashioned Huangquan buses with their lights on and swaying slowly on the streets gradually increased.
After only a few dozen minutes, the bus Lin Fan was riding stopped across the gate of a station.
Lin Fan looked out with the help of the dim car lights and saw an old, rusty iron plate with four big words written on it: Dongcheng Town Bus Station.
Creak——
As the bus door opened, a surge of cold and evil aura rushed out from the station and hit us in the face.
"Our company... has arrived..."
"This is the Huangquan bus station."
