The scraping sound was still ringing, but I could feel that it was noticeably weaker than before.
The first one was clearly a man-made, frantic scratching driven by resentment.
Five minutes ago it sounded like small pebbles tapping on the roof of the car, but now it sounds like mice scratching at it.
If you don't listen carefully, it seems like you can't hear anything very clearly.
Moreover, I could feel that sound slowly moving from the roof to the rear of the car.
In other words, whether it was a female ghost or some kind of hallucination, that sound was no longer keeping up with our speed.
I don't know if it was because Lao Liu's speed increased, or because the overall emotional state of everyone in the car was more excited.
If we're talking about bullying the weak and fearing the strong, then we're the toughest of the tough.
At that moment, I turned my gaze outside, and it seemed that I could already see some of the buildings outside!
Although it was all white fog, I could see faint white window frames about 20 meters away; those must be buildings!
However, upon closer inspection, it appeared that the area consisted of dilapidated low houses with windows and glass that seemed to be broken.
Walking a little further, I could see some vines climbing on the wall, as if it had been abandoned for a long time.
This...this is still the shallow layer, right? Why does this place feel like a desolate area in the deep sea?
However, I thought about it again. After all, this is a shallow, peripheral area, which is considered the edge of the city. It is quite reasonable for it to be a little dilapidated.
After all, there are hardly any people living here, and we came through a roundabout route. It would be very difficult to find even one living person.
Old Liu stepped on the gas a little more, and I could feel the car shooting forward like an arrow.
At this speed, I even have a slight feeling that we might crash into those obstacles.
That's outrageous! Old Liu used to be so timid and hesitant, even afraid of a roadblock on the side of the road.
Now it seems like they don't care at all.
Isn't he afraid that some small obstacle in the middle might flip our entire car over?
I could feel that at that moment, our car was already traveling at nearly 50 miles per hour.
I asked Lao Liu a little bit, and Lao Liu looked very confident.
He first gave me a mysterious look, then remained silent for a moment before speaking again.
"Little brother, you don't understand. Once we enter an area with slightly better visibility, these glasses really come in handy!"
Old Liu pointed to his glasses. I could see clearly that his reading glasses were basically unchanged from before. However, Old Liu seemed very confident and placed high hopes on these glasses. He explained that these glasses not only improved his vision but also provided him with mental nourishment. In other words, when he was tired, the glasses had a calming effect, and when he was slightly excited, they provided him with more energy. At first, he couldn't see things very well on this stretch of road, but now he was completely relaxed because the visibility was more than enough for an experienced driver like him. Hearing Old Liu's words, I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders. Wow, you're really something! At first, I thought these were just ordinary reading glasses, but now I understand them. They're definitely a tool to enhance his abilities.
"Old Liu, this thing of yours is pretty good. Can you get me one sometime?"
Old Liu, on the other hand, looked very proud. "I said you want this too? Let me tell you, I can't give this to you. It's a family heirloom!"
Old Liu sounded quite confident, as if this thing was a treasure he had been longing for.
But looking at it this way, it's just a very ordinary pair of glasses.
However, the frame next to the lenses was a very old-fashioned black.
He's right, this is indeed something that has been around for a long time.
Hearing what Lao Liu said, I didn't ask any more questions.
Whether he can give me this or not, or whether it's his resources, I don't really crave it.
All I want now is for Lao Liu to take us safely out of this dead fog, that would be enough!
I slowly closed the window, and the unpleasant smell disappeared instantly.
To be honest, when it comes to smelling like this, I think it's just as bad as the smell from the deep sea.
Because that feeling is like plastic being scorched by a huge fire, which is completely unacceptable to people.
I watched as the yellow light outside grew increasingly intense, while the white fog seemed to be fading.
In this situation, I felt a little more relaxed because I was indeed more clear-headed.
Honestly, in that thick fog just now, the visibility was so low, with layer upon layer of fog, that it was quite dizzying and unsettling!
"We're about to leave! I have a feeling we're leaving soon!"
Old Liu's voice suddenly became even more agitated, an expression of emotion that was even more shocking and intense than simply surviving a disaster.
I even think that if he survives what he's doing now, he'll definitely brag about it a lot among his drivers.
If that's the case, I think Lao Liu won't ask us for more money; on the contrary, he might even give us some money back.
I only glanced at Lao Liu, but I was constantly on guard about the surroundings. At this time, the dilapidated buildings and bungalows outside were increasing in number.
And simple vegetation was also scattered all over the ground.
I could also clearly feel that this place was more down-to-earth than before.
Visibility improved, and the surrounding scenery also became much more open and expansive.
But it's precisely at times like these that I'm most afraid that something like that might just appear out of nowhere.
That's how it went. The car sped along for three minutes, and I think it reached a top speed of 70 miles per hour.
Three minutes later, as the last wisp of pale yellow mist was left behind, we finally broke out of the foggy area!
Holy crap!
Damn, they got out so easily!
After I came out, I looked back and saw that it was clearly a thick fog with a yellowish tinge.
From a distance, I can see clearly that it's just a white fog, and I can't see any yellow at all.
The car slowly came to a stop, and I couldn't wait to push open the car door and breathe in the fresh air.
