Chapter 22: Trapped



His sleep quality has always been good and he rarely suffers from insomnia. Today is a special case.

The scene in the bathroom that he had just seen through the glass lingered in his mind, and the white silhouette seemed to be swaying in front of him. It felt like a fire was burning inside him, and he felt hot and uncomfortable.

He had just turned over when he heard a slight noise coming from the other side of the bed.

She wasn't asleep yet either.

Am I asking for trouble?

Suddenly, such a thought came to his mind, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart. This was simply killing one thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred of his own. Hurting each other, moving to this room would certainly make her uncomfortable. In the end, he would not be happy either.

To be honest, he almost couldn't help himself and wanted to throw himself on the bed several times just now.

But he didn't dare. With her personality, she might hide a knife under her pillow. It would be fine if she was stabbed to death, but what if she suddenly killed him...

Even if this is a dream and not real, every minute will leave a shadow on your life.

How dare he do anything wrong?

"It's all because of that virtual dream device. It's fine that the scene is so realistic, but even the copied characters have to be 100% true to life. That's too much."

He thought a little depressed.

How wonderful it would be if it were really like in my dreams, where I could do whatever I want.

Sadly, that is not the case at all.

"In my dreams, shouldn't it be possible for me to do whatever I want?"

Thinking of this, he turned over again, and in a state of irritation, he simply took out his mobile phone from under the pillow, opened a novel saved in the phone, and forced himself to read it to divert his attention.

The novels he saved in his mobile phone were all the most classic and his favorite online novels, and he had read each one several times.

Gradually, his mind was immersed in the story. As he read, he began to feel sleepy. He could hardly lift his eyelids and finally fell asleep.

…………

The next day, Chen Xu woke up an hour later than usual. After he finished his work, it was already breakfast time, so he had to put his shooting practice on hold for a day.

While eating, Luo Xiyun's face was cold. He didn't say a word and didn't even look at him.

Chen Xu felt the need to explain, "Last night, I didn't mean to do that. I really pressed the switch accidentally..."

With a bang, Luo Xiyun put the chopsticks firmly on the table and started to clean up the dishes without saying a word.

Chen Xu immediately shut his mouth. No one wanted to listen to his explanation, so he didn't want to embarrass himself.

Originally, he planned to rest at home for another day, but in this atmosphere, he didn't want to stay here and face a sour face. After dinner, he drove out.

The purpose of this trip is mainly to explore the route.

He was already very familiar with the nearby roads, and two hours later, he finally drove into an unfamiliar area.

The torrential rain lasted for more than 20 days, flooding most of the city. Then the temperature dropped sharply, and the water froze into ice. The road was covered with ice.

He drove slowly because the ice was slippery and driving too fast could easily lead to an accident. He was not very confident in the snow chains he had made.

Every ten minutes or so, he would stop and leave a mark with red paint so that he would not lose his way home.

The ice surface was endless and the same in all directions. Without a compass, it was impossible to even tell the direction.

He drove for two hours before he saw any buildings. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't too far away. If he moved quickly, he could make a round trip in a day.

It turned out that the buildings in front of him were all high-rise buildings that were half flooded. Because they were very tall, part of them were not submerged by water.

What he needed most was gasoline. But a gas station couldn't be built on top of a tall building. This piece of building was of no value to him.

He drove his car all the way to the nearest building before stopping. He took out his binoculars and looked forward. He could see more and more buildings appearing on the ice.

"It's one-thirty now. It'll take about three hours to get back to the villa from here."

It took him four hours to get here. In fact, he spent a lot of time just leaving marks along the way. If he had kept driving all the way, it would definitely not take that long.

He thought about it and decided to drive another hour forward so that he could get back to the villa before 8pm.

After making the decision, he got in the car and drove forward.

The further they drove, the more buildings appeared. He was somewhat excited, because it meant that the terrain ahead was getting higher and higher. As long as they reached the flat ground, they would soon find the gas station.

Woo——

Not long after walking out, the wind started to blow outside, blowing up snow particles and hitting the windshield.

He couldn't help but slow down and drive more cautiously.

Ta-ta-ta…

The sound coming from the roof of the car made him think that it was not good. It was hail. It looked like it was going to snow heavily.

"We can't go any further."

He decisively turned the steering wheel, turned the car around on the spot and drove back.

After a while, he left the area of ​​high-rise buildings and drove back along the same road he came from.

After driving for half an hour, he suddenly felt the car shake violently, and there was a hissing sound of air flow coming from somewhere, and the car stalled.

Oops! He realized he was in big trouble.

The car slid forward for a distance and then stopped.

At this moment, Chen Xu smelled a strong burnt odor, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He turned the key with his hand and muttered, "Please don't let me down at this time."

He turned it seven or eight times, but the engine still didn't respond.

“This is terrible.”

He sat back in his chair, rubbing his face vigorously with his hands.

Finally, the worst happened: the car broke down and he didn't know how to fix it.

Moreover, the car was parked on the ice, with no village in front and no store behind. To make matters worse, it was hailing outside.

"what to do?"

After a while, he calmed down a little, looked at the snow particles blown by the wind outside, and frowned deeply.

After much thought, I decided to wait for the hail to stop. If I got out of the car now, I might be crushed to death by the hail.

I just don't know when this hail will stop.

There was food, water, and gas in the car for heating, so it was no problem to be trapped for a few days. He was worried about Luo Xiyun. What would she do if he couldn't go back? (End of this chapter)
