As I watched Lao Liu's car slowly disappear at the street corner, I suddenly couldn't help but cough.
This feeling is similar to having a cold.
But I know very well that the shallow water here is mostly fresh and warm.
It's also impossible for them to catch a cold.
At that moment, my throat felt itchy, as if tiny insects were crawling inside.
The feeling was itchy, but I couldn't scratch it. I swallowed hard, but it didn't help at all.
At that moment, my nose was also very stuffy, and clear snot immediately flowed out from the tip of my nose.
Isn't Lao Liu obviously trying to scam us?
The current situation is something that Lao Liu shouldn't have been in just now.
How did I suddenly get pregnant?
Could it be that I stayed indoors for too long just now? That slightly burnt smell and that green, fishy smell of energy had some effect on my body?
Ultimately, it will still have some impact, more or less.
I didn't think much of it, I just quietly took some toilet paper from under the covers and wiped myself.
This thing did cause some changes in my body. Indeed, it's not good for us to just stay in the shallow layers like this.
Maybe, as Lao Liu said, it really does need some energy injection, more or less. To be honest, the thought of that green stuff is terrifying.
The fishy smell even made me feel nauseous.
At that moment, Yiyi quickly pulled out a tissue from his bag and handed it to me.
She looked worried too. "Brother, are you alright? Were you upset by something in the fog?"
"It's nothing, I just feel like I choked a little."
I took the tissue and wiped my nose, but then my nose started running again.
I wiped my hand with a tissue again, and it got a little better.
Holy crap, this thing is really weird.
It couldn't be that some disease suddenly appeared.
When my runny nose stopped, I found that my cough just wouldn't stop.
Damn, I had this feeling at first too, when Yiyi and I got out of the car to see the female ghost we killed.
When we got off the bus, my nose felt a little tight. Although it was indeed very warm at that time, I felt like I wanted to cough.
Could it really be because this white mist is too eerie?
I feel a tightness in my chest, like I'm having an asthma attack.
"Master, this white mist might weaken our bodily functions! Like Old Liu said, the green powder can also have some negative effects."
I think this white mist is probably similar, but even more potent than the powder and slime!
I looked up in the direction Lao Liu had left, and a thought suddenly popped into my head.
Should we use the lightning sword to cast some lightning energy around his car?
That way, it would be safer for him to take that side path.
I nodded slightly to Lei Jijian in my heart, and then told him my idea.
“Master, don’t worry about it. That old guy is probably very shrewd. He won’t cause any problems. He definitely has his own methods.”
Since he was able to take that path, he must have the means to do so.
Otherwise, wouldn't that be just throwing your life away for nothing?
I was hesitating when I heard Lei Jijian's words, and I thought about it for a moment.
Then I felt relieved.
Indeed, if Lao Liu didn't have solid skills, then this path would be suicide.
But why didn't they let us drive down that little road he just mentioned in the first place?
If we do this now, aren't we just sending ourselves to our deaths here for nothing?
If I had taken that path earlier, I probably wouldn't have encountered so many setbacks inside the White House.
Yiyi and I exchanged a brief glance, and I told her about it.
At this moment, Yi Yi seemed to have the same idea.
"Old Liu from earlier actually had a secret path. He didn't mention it when we were in the thick fog, but now he's slipped away from there..."
Yiyi's words carried a hint of hesitation.
I, meanwhile, was also cursing at Lao Liu with a lot of confusion.
After a brief moment of thought, Yiyi continued to speak.
"Brother, is it possible that he's worried about wasting time?"
Yiyi began to defend Lao Liu.
“The shortcut might be a bit roundabout. We’re not rushing to meet this deadline. If we follow his plan, our deadlines will likely be brought forward one by one. And if we go over the deadline, then we’re really doomed.”
"It's also possible that he just didn't remember it for the moment..."
I touched my nose, trying to justify myself below.
"He was so scared in that big house that he was completely out of his mind. He didn't have any thoughts about this, and I guess he didn't know that the fog would suddenly become so thick."
After all, even with this fog, he heard about it from the group of drivers.
I discussed it with Yiyi, and only then did I feel a little better. Staring in the direction Lao Liu had gone, I suddenly realized what had happened.
"With so many strange things happening in the middle of the night, Old Liu must have some confidence to dare to run this way."
I comforted myself with that thought.
To be honest, since Lao Liu made this choice, it's possible that this path was originally a one-way street.
Whenever I saw Lao Liu, he always looked worried and distressed.
He was even more distressed when he was told to head towards the roundabout. If he had been able to come here directly via the side path earlier, he would have arrived much sooner.
