Upon hearing the class monitor's words, the students sitting in their seats all stood up, jostling each other to exchange places.
Yuan Mengge also stood up and squeezed into the middle of the aisle.
However, as the car drove on, Yuan Mengge noticed that something was wrong with the scene outside.
Logically, the car should be heading towards the museum, which would be heading towards the city.
But the scenery along the road doesn't look like we're about to drive into the city.
Yuan Mengge bent down and looked out the window, then glanced at the other people in the car.
The students who had just sat down were so tired that they leaned back in their chairs and closed their eyes to rest.
The students who had just stood up were still in a daze, and no one noticed what was happening outside the window.
Yuan Mengge looked around but didn't see any other minibuses traveling with her.
Something felt off, so she asked the system in her mind, "System, which way does this road lead?"
The system popped up and said: [The direction ahead is Hekou County, thirty kilometers away.]
Upon hearing this, Yuan Mengge raised an eyebrow: "So you mean this car isn't heading towards the museum anymore? Why is the driver taking us to Hekou County?"
System: [No task events detected at present]
Simply put, it doesn't know either.
Yuan Mengge glanced at the map route displayed by the system. They were now 20 kilometers away from the provincial capital and only 10 kilometers away from Hekou County.
She counted the number of people on the bus, and it turned out to be exactly the same number from their class. The teacher leading the group was the physical education teacher.
What was the driver planning to do by taking their entire shift to Hekou County?
She peeked at the PE teacher and found him slumped in his seat, asleep, seemingly unaware that the car had veered off course.
The class monitor and the others didn't notice this situation either, and everyone was tired in the morning, so they didn't have the energy to pay attention to what was going on outside.
Yuan Mengge glanced at the driver, thought for a few seconds, then squeezed forward and stood in front of the car, saying to the driver, "Sir, could you please find a place to stop? I need to use the restroom!"
The driver glanced at her expressionlessly and said, "Just bear with it a little longer, we'll be there soon."
The hand movements remained unchanged, and the car speed did not decrease.
Yuan Mengge said anxiously, "But I'm really in a hurry! Master, please stop by the roadside for a moment, just for a moment! I'm so anxious, I can't hold it in any longer!"
The driver looked impatient when he saw that she was in a hurry.
Because Yuan Mengge spoke up, some students on the bus had already come to their senses.
Although they didn't need to go to the toilet like Yuan Mengge, they all noticed this side.
The driver seemed to notice the stares of other people, and he felt that if he didn't stop, the students on the bus might find it strange.
But if he stops the car, someone in the car will definitely notice that this section of the road is not the way into the city.
So he considered it for a moment, but still didn't agree to Yuan Mengge's suggestion: "No, we'll be there soon. Just ten more minutes..."
"Why? It's no big deal to stop on the side of the road, why can't we stop?" Yuan Mengge raised her voice, turning the question to the driver.
It also served as a reminder to the people on the bus.
Tell them to be mindful of their surroundings.
After hearing what she said, everyone on the bus looked out.
The driver was getting impatient and said, "We can't stop here. We'll be there soon. Can't you just bear with it a little longer?"
Then he stopped talking and the car sped up.
Yuan Mengge fell silent, then turned and walked away.
It seems the other party won't stop until they reach their destination, and we don't know what their purpose is.
With so many people on the bus, are they planning to sell them all? Does he have that kind of guts?
Now that the other person has control of the steering wheel, she can't just forcibly take it from them.
Yuan Mengge glanced at the others, then walked over to Lin Manyue and Wang Hong in the crowd and whispered to them, "Be careful, this isn't the way to the museum."
Upon hearing this, Lin Manyue and the other person were stunned and looked at her; "What?"
Yuan Mengge said, "Calm down, don't look surprised, calm down."
Lin Manyue and the other woman looked at her, completely bewildered. Then, they secretly glanced out the window and indeed noticed something unusual.
“Oh right, why are we all mountains here… Isn’t the museum in the city?” Wang Hong said thoughtfully.
Yuan Mengge whispered, "I went to ask the driver to stop the car, but he didn't. When we finally stop, something bad might happen. You two stay calm and follow me."
Lin Manyue and the other woman hadn't fully grasped her meaning yet, and looked at her with puzzled expressions, asking, "Were you just testing out the driver? What if something bad happened? Where was he taking us...?"
Yuan Mengge: "Shh~ You'll find out soon enough."
Lin Manyue and Wang Hong looked around in a panic. Although Yuan Mengge told them to control their expressions, their eyes still betrayed their fear.
Others nearby also heard their conversation, but because they didn't hear Yuan Mengge's words, they were somewhat confused.
However, the expressions in their eyes caused a subtle unease among the others.
The direction the car was heading towards felt increasingly desolate and remote.
"What's going on? Where are we going?"
"Isn't the museum in the city? Why did it come to such a desolate place?"
"Did the driver take the wrong route?"
"Teacher, teacher? Wake up, wake up..."
Finally, other people on the bus noticed something was wrong and asked curiously.
The physical education teacher, who was sleeping, was woken up. After hearing what the students said, he looked outside and realized something was wrong.
"Hmm? This isn't the right way... Where are we going?"
The PE teacher sat up straight, glanced at his surroundings, then immediately stood up and walked forward with a bewildered look: "Master... am I on the wrong road? Where do I go?"
The driver said casually, "We're almost there. Have a seat."
The PE teacher exclaimed, "Almost there? Where are we going? Wait a minute... this is the middle of nowhere, where is this??? Driver?"
The driver remained silent and expressionless when asked about the physical education teacher's question; he simply kept driving.
"Driver! Stop the car! Stop first!" Clearly sensing something was wrong, the PE teacher suddenly shouted at the driver.
However, the driver ignored him and continued driving.
"I told you to stop the car, did you hear me, driver?" Seeing that the driver had no intention of stopping, she shouted at him angrily.
The driver didn't react at all, and instead accelerated again.
Seeing him speed up, the PE teacher panicked.
After all, the bus was full of students; if it overturned, it would be a disaster.
