I listened to Lei Jijian's words, which carried a certain degree of belittling towards young girls.
Indeed, Yiyi is second only to the emperor in the manor, so how could she be ignorant?
She has probably seen countless treasures.
I actually think Lao Liu's idea is quite useful.
He wore those glasses for a while, and they later proved to be very useful.
Not only did the visibility in the thick fog increase, but it also infused Lao Liu with some spiritual energy.
He has preserved these things very well, and I could clearly see the look in Lao Liu's eyes—a resolute determination.
This must have been her way of showing kindness.
Thinking about this, I actually feel a little guilty.
Old Liu, you're offering us this kind of help, but we're choosing to refuse.
"Well, this isn't anything good either, but if it can help you in any way, then our shared hardships won't have been in vain!"
I also want to see you all survive in this place.
Old Liu didn't think too much about it; he laughed heartily.
I don't quite understand why Lao Liu has become so cheerful.
Before, he was very hesitant and didn't even dare to make this trip.
However, after a brief moment of thought, I realized that this Old Liu didn't have many achievements to his name.
He usually just drives his car on shallow roads, which is enough to feed his wife, children, and elderly parents.
There's never any need to spend time and energy coming to this shallow level, to suffer and be tormented.
Moreover, as he said, none of the managers he mentioned were any good people. I think he must have suffered a lot of grievances at this level.
But this experience was definitely a dazzling day in Lao Liu's otherwise ordinary life.
He dared to venture out of the shallow roundabout, a place he usually wouldn't dare to easily venture into, a place that even made him hesitate to go.
And he continued to forge ahead despite his cousin's previous mistakes.
This was already something that made him very proud of himself.
Not only that, we also encountered a dense fog on the way, the kind of fog that is 100% deadly and never fails.
If I were a driver, I would definitely be very impressed with myself for managing to get through places like this.
This can be described as a complete transformation for Lao Liu.
I looked around and saw that the hotel was still as dilapidated as ever, but the sky above seemed to have turned a little whiter.
Moreover, this white color clearly indicates that dawn is approaching.
Holy crap, is it really going to turn into daytime very quickly?
In that case, our energy will not reach its peak, but rather the time will be drawing ever closer.
Wouldn't that make our chances of winning even smaller?
My heart was pounding for a moment, and at that moment, Yiyi's mindset seemed to have changed as well.
"Heh, if that's the case, we can accept this!"
Yiyi reached out and took the pocket watch-like thing from Lao Liu.
The moment it was received, the pocket watch seemed to generate some energy, emitting a faint yellow light.
This light was just like the beam of light that shone through Old Liu's glasses when he put them on.
Holy crap.
I was somewhat surprised.
At that moment, Lei Jijian also sighed almost simultaneously.
"Master, this thing actually does have some use!"
Luckily, we managed to get our hands on it.
But right after the Thunder Strike Sword transmitted its message, the light on the pocket watch seemed to suddenly disappear.
The entire pocket watch appeared lifeless.
What's going on? It lost its luster as soon as I got it.
I didn't think much of it; at that moment, I felt that I didn't have much time left.
"What will you do if we leave? Just wait for us here. After all, that fog probably hasn't dissipated yet."
I said it casually.
At that moment, the thick fog had definitely not completely dissipated, and I was even afraid that in that kind of weather, they would be chasing us at an extremely fast speed.
Or rather, killing us was the top priority of that fog.
Compared to this, being trapped is secondary.
If driver Lao Liu were to drive back now, I'm even afraid that something might go wrong and cause Lao Liu's complete demise.
After all, I knew that my companion had suddenly lost that feeling back at the manor.
Although I later learned the details and outcome, I was truly heartbroken at that moment.
Although Lao Liu can no longer be considered our friend, let alone our companion,
However, this experience of going through hardships together did make me feel more favorably toward Lao Liu.
"What else is there to say? I'm definitely going back first! The fog here should clear up soon, and then it'll be easier for you to get a taxi!"
Old Liu's words were quite cheerful.
But that completely baffled me. The fog had lifted, so why take a taxi?
Even if we do manage to get out of this hotel, I reckon the scene before us will still be this desolate wilderness.
Thinking about this, I became even more worried about Lao Liu's safety.
We barely escaped from this place, and now he seems to be going to his death. How can I agree to that?
I shared my thoughts with Lao Liu, and I was indeed trying to persuade him.
"What's there to be afraid of! I'm lucky and have a long life, I'm not afraid of these things! Besides, just getting through the roundabout is enough for me to brag about in the driver group for a while."
As he spoke, Lao Liu casually took out his phone and checked it carefully. The helplessness on his face told me that there was probably still no signal here.
To be honest, I wanted him to wait here, partly for Old Liu's safety, and partly so we could get out in time.
If we really manage to escape from here, Lao Liu will definitely be the first person to meet us.
But if anything else changes, and Lao Liu happens to be fine and not here, how are we going to get back to the shallow center from this edge of the city?
If that's the case, then there's even less reason to mention going back to get the sea marrow for Blue Armor.
"After all, your safety..."
At this moment, Yiyi seemed to understand my look and started to speak up for me as well.
Old Liu, however, had a very honest and simple appearance.
"Let me tell you, I never said I was going to take you in! This place is too eerie, I'm too scared to go in, I have to leave first!"
And I've made it very clear to you all: I'll take you to the hotel, and you're on your own to handle the rest!
"We've seen the Buddha all the way to his door; this place is home to us now!"
