This guy's taciturn nature really surprised me.
After all, among the drivers I usually meet on land, some are talkative and some are quiet, but this is the first time I've ever met one who barely speaks.
Not only that, but I really think his hovercar is better than a taxi, at least in terms of safety.
How could there be no market for being a driver in this shallow field? I was a little puzzled.
"Brother, it seems that the car that Lao Liu found for us is really reliable."
Yi Yi spoke softly.
I nodded. So far, I haven't found anything unusual or any drawbacks about this thing.
Apart from the slight fishy smell of sea scabies around here.
That's all.
I thought about it for a moment, and if we encounter that sea scabies worm again, the first thing I'll do is use the beads that Yiyi produced in the shells, along with the ones we had before.
I don't know how powerful this thing is yet, but it's definitely enough to deal with these sea scabies mites.
It's not just thick and strong, it's more than enough.
Previously, when we encountered that group of scabies mites all alone, we were able to get out of trouble simply by feeding them beads.
If those worms hadn't been so large, I would have wiped them all out in one go.
But if I had stayed there and fought a war of attrition with those scabies worms, I probably would have been surrounded and killed by them in the end.
But things are different now; we're on this hovercar now!
It should at least have some biting or defensive properties.
Otherwise, I don't think Lao Liu would have asked him to lead us on this path.
Since I've chosen this car, I think it's capable of handling most things on the road.
I think this taciturn man with the thick beard is a winning formula. I even hope that he can come out and help us at crucial moments.
You can't judge a book by its cover.
Although the smell was incredibly foul, at that moment, the girl and I had no choice but to endure it.
We can't get down there, and this is the only road we can find on this route. Where are we supposed to find another way?
With a mix of trepidation and excitement, I thought to myself, "Since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it!"
Then I slowly lay down again. This place was indeed more comfortable than Lao Liu's taxi, and it was also larger.
After all, although I don't know how this thing is produced, it is definitely a very mature technology that has been used for many years in this shallow layer.
In this situation, I have nothing to blame but myself; I can just lie here and be fine.
Let's conserve some of our energy. If we end up with Blue Armor and there's a conflict, we'll have more strength left.
I was secretly dozing off here, while the girl would also close her eyes from time to time to rest.
The woman in the emerald green dress was no longer in front of the car this time, which meant that at least this time I wouldn't have the same dream as last time.
However, after that trip with Lao Liu and that terrible rest experience, I couldn't sleep at all. I just needed to rest a little to recover my energy.
I don't know how much time passed, but about half an hour later, I was slowly woken up by the car's inertia.
When I looked at the surrounding scenery again, I felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
This place is very close to the place where we first left from Blue Armor and swam towards the shallows.
The saturation of aquatic plants, corals, and land has decreased. At the same time, there is less and less life in the surrounding area.
When we first emerged from the shallows, we could occasionally see one or two living people, or hovercars like ours moving around. But there was practically no life left in this place, except for some marine creatures.
At that moment, I looked up at the tiny screen in front of me, which was the navigation map.
There's only a straight road drawn on it; even the places that were previously marked with an X are gone.
In other words, we are now on a one-way street!
This must be the path we swam across back then!
"Brother, this car... seems to be slowing down?"
At this moment, Yiyi also got up and rubbed her eyes, her voice a little hoarse.
She was clearly well-rested, like a young girl who had just woken up.
I didn't answer immediately, but instead continued to look around. When we got on the bus earlier, the scenery around us seemed to move slowly, but inside the bus, we could feel that the speed was unusually fast.
It's definitely much, much faster than Lao Liu's car.
Now it seems that the surrounding area is moving at an absurdly slow pace.
It wasn't just those black vines, leaves, and seaweed; this thing seemed to be blocking our hovercar.
They seem to be a drag on the car!
"It is indeed too slow."
I frowned slightly, and then glanced again at the bearded driver in the cockpit.
As expected, he maintained the same grip on the steering wheel, holding it very steadily. The only difference from before was that his beard had a slightly dull look on it.
Perhaps it was due to driving for a long time, but at that moment I couldn't help but sigh slightly, thinking that this guy was quite strong.
Normally, even when driving on the highway, you should take a break every now and then.
But this guy has been driving for quite a while now, from the very beginning until now, and not only has he not complained of being tired, he has even maintained the same posture the whole time.
This posture is the most normal, the most safe and classic way for a driver to walk. However, now that I look at it, I feel a strange sense of unease.
I didn't pay much attention to it. After all, Lao Liu had already told me that this was the driver, and that's just his personality. Maybe that's how capable people are. I didn't think much of it.
Just then, the driver seemed to hear us say "slowly," and then muttered something else in a very low voice.
"Blue Armor... Blue Armor's residence..."
His eyes looked vacant. Did he also sense that the car was slowing down?
"Master, you've noticed it too, haven't you? What's going on? Is it because we're in the deep sea? The pressure has become quite high, which is why this is happening so inexplicably?"
I patted him on the back again, raising my voice.
But he mechanically tilted his head.
