Old Liu slowly brought the car to a stop, his eyes now brimming with barely concealed excitement.
He seemed to have accomplished an impossible task; I noticed that the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned.
They were even laughing so hard they were almost manic.
"Haha, hahaha! It actually came out! I guess it was all worth it. Being a driver for the rest of my life was worth it!"
Is this for real? Am I dreaming?
It has to be people like us who run around in the middle of the night!
No matter what sanctions you impose, no matter what fake corpses you send over, am I afraid? Have I ever been afraid?
Old Liu's words were disjointed, but they all revealed the excitement in his heart.
Even his mouth was constantly opening and closing, and he even forgot to unbuckle his seatbelt.
Although we had no destination, almost all of us were grateful to have survived the ordeal.
But what I was thinking about was that female ghost from before, and the cleaning lady who might be there.
Not only did they not catch up, but they didn't even show their faces for the rest of the story.
This is simply too much! I don't need to consider the threat they pose to me anymore!
With that thought in mind, the heavy stone finally fell to the ground.
I signaled to Lao Liu to stop, and Yiyi and I opened the car door and eagerly ran to the roadside to breathe in the fresh air.
Although the air outside still had a slightly sweet and fishy smell, it was much better than the burnt smell inside the fog.
I feel that my breathing has become much smoother.
"Brother, we...we're out."
The entire second half was so peaceful! There wasn't a single problem.
Yiyi's words carried a hint of surprise, though her face remained somewhat pale.
I thought of the giant hand that Yiyi had just seen, grabbing left and right, and she couldn't get rid of it. Yiyi's current state was inevitable.
At this moment, Lao Liu also got out of the car and collapsed on the grass by the roadside, panting heavily, his face full of an indescribable ecstasy.
I looked up and surveyed my surroundings, and a chill ran through me.
Is this still in the city? This isn't the desolate sea, is it?
Even if it's on the outskirts of the city, it shouldn't be this dilapidated!
The streets in front of me were so dilapidated that they were almost unrecognizable. I even felt that this place was not a place for human habitation. Even if it were for animals, it wouldn't be this run-down.
The metal plates on the road surface were warped and cracked everywhere, as if they had been gnawed on.
The crack is now overgrown with weeds, which are almost as tall as me.
The buildings were in even worse condition; some had half their walls collapsed, while others were the only ones that remained, with only a base visible to identify them as buildings.
The entrances to these buildings are piled with discarded garbage or furniture that has been there for a long time.
Looking at the scene before me, I couldn't even begin to imagine what kind of existence this was.
As for the managers Lao Liu mentioned, if there are people who can manage that green energy and slime, then naturally there must also be people who manage the environment, right?
Even though this place was shrouded in thick fog, right after we came out, does that mean no one is taking care of it?
We can't just let it grow wild and fall into ruin!
I couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"This...this is where we are after the fog has lifted?"
Yi Yi frowned slightly, her voice full of doubt.
"How did it get so dilapidated? Is there really a hotel around here?"
I had almost the same thoughts as the girl, so I walked over to Old Liu, who was sitting there slumped over, and asked him a question.
After all, he's the driver. If what he said at the beginning is true, he should know where the hotel is. But if we follow the information Lan Jia gave me before, it's two turns away.
Before this, the route Blue Armor gave me should be fine.
Otherwise, even if we get here, we'll still be doomed.
He couldn't possibly want us to find the sea marrow, but instead lead us down the wrong path, could he?
Moreover, based on the facilities in his previous small stone house, there must have been some decorations there, and those things could definitely save Ningluzhi.
If it weren't possible, he wouldn't have even brought up something like sea cucumber, let alone have any suppliers or business partners.
But then it suddenly occurred to me that if his friend really was the hotel owner, then he was a complete dead man.
Making a deal with a dead man to transport sea marrow for you? How strange is that?
If he really has a need, he can certainly look for legitimate platforms or trade with some high-priced merchants.
In his kind of place, efficiency and profit are not important; having the most basic things is enough.
And very few people like us, who are holding dew-covered branches, would get lost there. I think the amount of sea marrow he consumed must have been very small.
How could a situation of supply falling short of demand arise so directly that we have to help them resolve it?
And now there's not a single sign of living people on this road, so how could there be any hotels open for business?
Just thinking about this makes me break out in a cold sweat.
A bold idea suddenly came to mind.
What this blue-armored figure tells us might be entirely correct.
Even the turns and other specific details are executed flawlessly.
But the only possible difference is the change between the Yin and Yang realms!
To us, this place might appear as a dilapidated and lifeless scene.
But for those people in the hotel, this might be a bustling metropolis!
At that moment, something even more outrageous came to mind.
If the lives of the dead differ from those of the living, then a separate area or a point of reference is needed to distinguish between the realms of Yin and Yang.
In that case, wouldn't the white fog we just crossed be the boundary between life and death?
Thinking about this made my scalp tingle, and I dared not think any further.
They were just asking Lao Liu, hoping to get some information from him.
Since sitting here, Lao Liu has been in a very excited state, completely different from his initial mature demeanor.
"Young man, what are you thinking? The state of things here is entirely due to the white mist that has lingered here for too long, causing all life to dissipate."
Liu Guopeng's words were a revelation to me.
It's really possible.
As I hesitated, a bird flew by and then suddenly flew away.
