"Ruoruo... Ruoruo... Captain Han... Captain Qi..." Zhou Zhiguo breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Wei Yangguo's words, but he still frowned. A sense of foreboding arose in his heart for no reason. At the same time, he continued to shout loudly into the intercom, trying to get some response.
"Captain Zhou, are Xuefeng and Captain Han okay?" Wei Yangguo asked Zhou Zhiguo with a worried look on his face.
At the same time, he intensified the movements of his hands. The other two people who were sleeping in the cab murmured twice, half-closed their eyes, and looked at Wei Yangguo in a daze. Their reaction when they woke up was the same as Zhou Zhiguo's.
"What's wrong with us?"
"Hiss... where are we?"
The two looked at Zhou Zhiguo and Wei Yangguo with bewildered expressions.
"Wake up...something happened..." Wei Yangguo said to the two of them.
After hearing Wei Yangguo's words, the two of them forced their wandering eyes to fall on Wei Yangguo's face. After staring at him for a long time, the originally dull and chaotic eyes slowly returned to normal.
"Captain Zhou, any reaction?" Wei Yangguo asked Zhou Zhiguo.
"Still can't get in touch..." Zhou Zhiguo shook his head, his eyes fell on the rearview mirror outside the car window, his expression full of worry.
"So what should we do now?" Wei Yangguo
"Send a signal flare to warn them, I hope they can see it..." Zhou Zhiguo said to Wei Yangguo after looking at the two people at the back of the car.
"Yes..." Wei Yangguo responded.
But before Wei Yangguo could fire a signal flare, a loud "bang..." suddenly came from behind the car.
Afterwards, several people in the cab felt that the rear of the car seemed to be suddenly hit by something. Before they could react, they realized that their car was being pushed forward by a force from behind.
"What's going on?" Zhou Zhiguo looked at Wei Yangguo and asked.
"It's not me. I haven't pulled the cable yet, and the car's handbrake is on..." Wei Yangguo stretched one hand outside, turned around and looked at Zhou Zhiguo innocently.
"Oh no... Hurry up and send a signal, why are you still standing there?" Zhou Zhiguo seemed to have thought of something in an instant and said to himself that something was wrong.
At the same time, he frowned, glanced at Wei Yangguo in the driver's seat, and urged him, then opened the passenger door and jumped out. The other two people in the cab also jumped out with Zhou Zhiguo.
"What's that smell?" The two people who had just got off the car smelled a strange smell coming from their noses and said subconsciously.
It was an indescribable smell, a hint of sweetness in the stench, and a faint, delicate, lingering fragrance that made people feel dizzy after smelling it.
"There's something wrong with this smell..." Zhou Zhiguo covered his nose with his sleeve and said to the two people next to him, and gestured for them to block their noses with their sleeves and try not to inhale the air directly, while turning around and closing the car door.
Afterwards, Zhou Zhiguo stood up and walked carefully to the rear of the car. A gust of wind blew in their faces, almost making it impossible for the three of them to open their eyes. Then, a sparse sound came to their ears, as if someone was whispering in their ears. Upon listening carefully, there was also the rustling sound of leaves blown by the wind.
Zhou Zhiguo, who was walking in front, felt dizzy and unsteady on his feet after hearing these voices. He shook his head and pinched his thighs hard before he became a little more sober. Then, he looked back at the two people following behind him and found that their figures were a little swaying and their expressions became a little confused.
Seeing their eyes becoming dull, he thought something was wrong and immediately walked up to them. He reached out and slapped them twice on the ear.
Looking at the two people's rapidly swelling cheeks, each of them looked at him with a pair of eyes that were gradually regaining clarity, with a confused and innocent expression. After using gestures to remind them to stay awake, he turned and walked quickly towards the rear of the car.
When the three of them walked to the rear of the car, they found that the noise was caused by another truck that was following behind them and rear-ended them. The three of them looked at the cab at the same time and found that everyone inside was leaning back in their chairs with their heads tilted back, without any movement.
A sense of foreboding suddenly filled the hearts of several people. They quickly rushed forward, opened the door of the cab, and felt relieved only after checking the breath of the people. After the three of them took control of the car, they began to wake up the people who were sleeping in the cab and the car compartment.
"Wake up, Ren Xuefeng... wake up..." Zhou Zhiguo slapped Ren Xuefeng's face hard in the driver's seat. Judging from what happened just now, they must have suddenly fallen asleep while the car was driving.
"...Captain Zhou...Captain Zhou..." Ren Xuefeng was suddenly awakened. He looked at Zhou Zhiguo in confusion and came back to his senses after a moment.
"Where is the car behind you? Where are Ruoruo and the others?" Zhou Zhiguo asked anxiously, looking at Ren Xuefeng who was still a little dazed in front of him.
"Car... Ruoruo..." Ren Xuefeng felt his head a little dull. Looking at the car in front of him, his eyes subconsciously fell on the rearview mirror outside the window. It was pitch black inside and there was no shadow of the car behind.
"What did you encounter? Was there anything unusual on the road?" Zhou Zhiguo asked Ren Xuefeng. Although he knew that Ren Xuefeng might still be confused at this time, he was worried about the safety of Chen Ruoruo and others, so he couldn't help but ask Ren Xuefeng anxiously.
"Abnormal... abnormal? The taste... is the taste..." After hearing Zhou Zhiguo's words, Ren Xuefeng kept muttering to himself, trying to grasp the key points in his confused mind. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said.
"Smell?" Zhou Zhiguo looked at Ren Xuefeng and remembered the strange smell in the air when he got off the car just now.
Suddenly, Zhou Zhiguo also remembered that after smelling that smell, he suddenly felt inexplicably sleepy, and then lost consciousness unknowingly. When he woke up again, he was awakened by Wei Yangguo.
As Ren Xuefeng woke up, almost everyone in the car woke up as the other two people pushed and shoved them. According to their recollections, before they fell asleep, they smelled a strange smell and heard sounds that seemed real or unreal.
After listening to a group of people's stories, Zhou Zhiguo recalled everything that happened after he woke up. He knew that something was strange about what happened tonight. Thinking of the strange experience that a group of people had tonight, he became even more worried about the situation of Chen Ruoruo, Han Xiao and others. He didn't know what kind of dangerous situation they would face now.
However, looking at the thick white fog that was almost solidifying in the direction they had come from, even though Zhou Zhiguo was extremely worried about Chen Ruoruo, he didn't dare to take the risk of rushing in. Without knowing what was ahead, taking people in to rescue others would undoubtedly be like leading a group of people to commit suicide.
Therefore, while Zhou Zhiguo was exploring the situation in and around the white fog, he kept adjusting the walkie-talkie in an attempt to get a response from the other side, and sent flares into the air at a high frequency, hoping that Chen Ruoruo and Han Xiao could see them.
"Boom... Bang..."
Chen Ruoruo woke up to a loud crash and noise. She opened her eyes in a daze, frowning and looking around blankly. The carriage was still motionless, and Erlangzi and the Wolf King were sleeping soundly.
