As I passed through the security checkpoint, I looked back and saw this entire shallow area.
On the one hand, I'm still a little worried that the disheveled cleaner might come after us.
Yiyi seemed to have noticed my doubts and comforted me from the side.
"Brother, now that we've left the shallows, the things inside shouldn't follow us anymore."
After all, the difference between shallow and deep water is still very large.
Even if they had the guts, they wouldn't have the ability to follow.
Hearing Yiyi's words, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
However, this is probably true. Most of the residents in the shallower areas have green pipes attached to their bodies, and even the fake corpses are no exception.
Regardless of whether that person was a fake corpse or not, I can be certain that she couldn't possibly follow us.
When we approached the driver, he first gave a stiff self-introduction, seemingly not very good with words.
Or maybe they're just a little shy.
This man was about the same size as Lao Liu, but his eyes were more defined.
However, his beard was indeed thicker than Lao Liu's; it was a typical full beard.
Judging from his appearance, he seems to be at least somewhat kind, so he shouldn't pose any threat to us.
But even if they have bad intentions, so what? This is someone Old Liu found through his connections, so I'm still quite at ease.
Although Liu Guopeng wasn't considered one of the older generation in their driver group, he was still quite respected and well-known.
"Time is of the essence. Go to the Sunken Compass House and find Blue Armor."
The driver slowly opened his mouth, his voice sounding very cold.
I noticed keenly that when the driver spoke, a slight, cold breath was coming out of his mouth. The breath was slightly white and seemed to be coming out with a powerful force.
The driver's face was already quite pale, and with this, for a moment I felt his face looked rather ashen.
I don't know if it's because of the psychological trauma caused by the fake corpse, but now I feel that this driver is a bit abnormal.
"How do I sit down in this car?"
My gaze fell on his hovercar; it was obvious that the car looked very old and worn.
Although it's a hovercar, I've never seen one on land before, and even if I had, it was only on TV.
These kinds of things are usually used as experimental subjects in high-tech programs. It's really rare to see something like this, a shallow layer, appearing on a large scale in taxis.
The fact that this kind of thing can be used on a large scale is something that is very shocking to me.
The driver didn't say much, he just opened the door with his big beard and told us to get in.
After careful observation, I noticed that the car has two driver's seats in the front and two seats in the back, which are also larger.
Compared to a regular taxi, although it carries one less person, it seems to be safer.
After all, it's the kind of machine that runs on energy, meaning it doesn't need to be shifted into gears or anything like that.
In case of an emergency, simply reduce this energy level and everything will be safe.
The hovercar also has a huge bumper at the front, and the body is generally round, with several openings at the bottom specifically for jet propulsion.
However, when I was on my way to find the Riverside Hotel, none of the hovercars I saw on the road were spraying gas downwards. I guess they must also be using a colorless and invisible gas.
At first, I was somewhat skeptical about this colorless and invisible gas. After all, it could very well be something that would kill me, just like the green energy we saw before. It could be injected into a person, but I felt that prolonged injection would also have some effect.
Just like what Fatty Zhou once told us, sea marrow has both benefits and drawbacks. For him, it's a highly nourishing product, but for others, it might drain their vital energy.
However, seeing the gas spraying down now, I no longer have that concern.
Then I asked the driver how he should pay the fare and other related questions.
But at this moment, the driver seemed to completely misunderstand what I was saying, muttering to himself. I didn't hear him, so I asked him again.
"Go find Blue Armor; there's no time to lose."
It's that same sentence again.
I was a little puzzled, and Yiyi also looked confused. We were both stunned.
What does this mean?
Is this guy a tape recorder?
"Go find Blue Armor, and hurry, there's no time to lose!"
I was a little puzzled. Who exactly did Old Liu find?
However, I didn't think too much about it, since he had already made all the arrangements and all we needed to do was get in the car.
"Brother, don't worry about it. Let's go up first. We don't know what the outcome of the contract we're bound to will be."
I nodded, and then, quite awkwardly, slowly climbed up. The moment I sat down, I felt that the seat was actually softer.
Indeed, otherwise why would so many drivers choose this type of hovercar in shallow waters?
There's a reason for that!
The bearded driver was quite efficient; he immediately sat in the front seat, fastened his seatbelt, slammed the door shut, and then started the car.
This car doesn't require shifting gears or releasing the clutch; these cumbersome operations can be done simply by pressing a few buttons, and then you can turn the steering wheel.
As for the accelerator and brake pedals, they are both in the driver's hands on the steering wheel, leaving the driver's feet seemingly empty.
As I watched this scene, I couldn't help but sigh in amazement.
This thing is really advanced.
"Looking for Blue Armor..."
The driver was still there, mechanically repeating what the Taoist priest had told me, leaving me somewhat bewildered.
What exactly were the orders Lao Liu gave him? Why was he so obedient? Or rather, this driver didn't have the usual domineering attitude of a driver; instead, he seemed to be completely carrying out orders.
Old Liu had previously said that this guy was much more experienced with cars than him, and now that I've seen him, he certainly lives up to his reputation. Just his aura alone has already intimidated me.
Just from his every move, even the way he gripped the steering wheel, I could tell that this guy had definitely been driving for many years.
He simply pressed a red button with his right thumb, and the hovercar rose straight up.
I looked at the driver's seat with great delight; it was the first time I'd ever seen one like this!
However, the next second I noticed something out of place.
The girl seemed to notice me instantly and started tugging at my clothes.
"Brother, look!"
Following the girl's words, I was completely stunned.
A white flower!
