The driver kept waving his hand, and at that moment, he pulled up the handbrake.
I think they're going to challenge us!
Moreover, I clearly noticed that the weariness in his eyes had deepened.
Could it be because of that brief moment of unconsciousness?
He didn't say a word when he parked the car, as if he were possessed.
I was still a little scared. If something was causing the disturbance, then that last stretch of road probably wasn't driven by a human!
Whether it was his own problem or something that suppressed him, he has finally managed to get his soul back.
If they don't pull us over, what's there to be afraid of about this fog? It's just fog, what's the big deal?
Evil?
I know one thing: if we don't hurry, Yiyi and I will really become evil.
At that moment, the girl next to me tugged at me slightly.
"Brother, if we go back and take a taxi again..."
The girl's voice was very low; I had to get very close to hear it.
However, I didn't expect that this sharp-eared guy would catch it so quickly.
I couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, your physical functions aren't those of a 50-year-old!"
To be honest, I would believe this hearing ability even if he were 20 years old.
“Yes, listen to this girl, you should go back and take a taxi! It’s easier to get a taxi there! It’s not that I don’t want to help you, it’s just really weird, and my eyesight isn’t very good…”
As the driver spoke, he tried to pull the handbrake and turn the car around.
I immediately stopped you. Your ears were so sharp just now, but now if you drive in the fog, your eyes won't be able to work properly!
They've focused all their attention on the ears, but neglected the eyes, haven't they?
Should we go back and take a taxi?
If you take a taxi back, even if no one is walking this way, it will take a long time to get back.
From that starting point to this roundabout, it's conservatively estimated that it's already taken more than an hour.
What I was thinking was that if I didn't get to that hotel quickly while Yiyi's energy was still strong and get the sea marrow, it would probably be difficult by daytime!
Moreover, in hotels like this, vigilance is definitely lower at night.
We'll be able to infiltrate more easily.
Whether you talk to that so-called boss directly or not, I think it will be easier.
If we wait until daytime, facing this life-or-death contract, I'm afraid that boss will actually fight us with real weapons!
Not to mention that we managed to bring back that sea marrow or anything like that.
I'm no longer too obsessed with maintaining this dew-covered branch.
To be honest, Yiyi's thoughts are probably even stronger than mine right now.
All I want right now is to save my life as quickly as possible. I don't want to lose my life because of something so inexplicable.
Going back to get a taxi at this time would be too much of a hassle!
If we miss the best opportunity because of this slight time difference, it will be very difficult.
Besides, if we go back now, we might not be able to find anyone to take us to that hotel; this driver is only doing this out of courtesy.
Otherwise, who would drive to a newly opened hotel in the suburbs in the middle of the night?
"Hey bro, forget about whether it's white fog or black fog ahead. If you're a real man, just charge straight through. When we get there, I'll get you an extra pack of cigarettes!"
As I was talking, I took out another cigarette and lit it for the old driver.
The older brother accepted it without any resistance and naturally held it between his fingers.
There's still room for negotiation and reconciliation.
While the guy was smoking, he would occasionally glance outside, and we waited quietly.
In addition, I briefly explained the pros and cons to Yiyi.
If we leave, we might lose our only chance!
"Indeed, after driving for so many years, there's nothing I wouldn't dare to do. You young man, you should also consider me. I quite like the things you mentioned, and having a cigarette in the middle of the night makes me feel much better..."
However, while I love money, I love my life even more!
The guy looked at us, then blew a puff of smoke to the side.
The car was now filled with smoke; adding the two from before, there were now three in total.
When he turned back, he noticed that Yiyi looked a little uncomfortable, so he consciously opened the window a little.
I guess it was probably from the smell of smoke.
Even after opening it just a tiny bit, I smelled a familiar scent coming in from outside!
I also rolled down the window and carefully felt the difference.
It looks a bit like the green powder from before, and the slime on the cleaner's broom.
But it doesn't seem like that either; it has a slightly sweet scent, and a fragrance that's a mixture of floral notes and dew.
What's going on?
I frowned, utterly puzzled.
It's clearly a scent I've smelled before, but I can't quite put my finger on it.
"Alright, alright, turn it off, it's cold!"
The driver urged him on, and he finished his last puff of cigarette.
"Master, brother, if you're short of money, I'll make it up to you. If you're afraid, I won't laugh at you. Let's join the group and take it slow, slowly make our way through, okay?"
Seeing the driver's expression become hesitant, I knew something was up.
She quickly pressed her advantage and continued to speak kindly to him.
After all, this is one of our few opportunities.
"Brother... this isn't up to me to decide. If, and I mean if, I can help you, I absolutely will! But I have a wife and children too. If anything goes wrong here, I can't bear the responsibility..."
You have no idea how dangerous it is here. Just the winding paths alone make it incredibly difficult to navigate. And I don't often run around here..."
At that moment, the driver seemed to have let something slip.
It turns out this person mainly travels within the main urban area; once they reach the suburbs, they become much less common, and I don't recognize them anymore.
And I couldn't help but marvel at the flow of people throughout this entire shallow water area.
If there were fewer people, he definitely wouldn't be so unfamiliar with this place.
Since they can earn enough to eat in the city center, they don't need to come to these remote, out-of-the-way places.
Thinking about it that way, I can't blame him anymore.
Just as I was about to try again, the driver spoke up again.
“Some people frequently drive here, but they only drive this small area, and they’ve already bribed people at all levels… Moreover, the drivers here seem to be quite hostile towards drivers from our main urban area.”
They created their own group, while we have a large group, sigh..."
The driver stopped abruptly at this point.
Then, he lowered his head and sighed softly twice.
"What's wrong?"
