Whether the dew-covered branches have become dull due to our life state or because of the altitude, we will only know when we get to Lanjia.
Otherwise, I probably would have died before I could revive this thing.
By then, no matter how much energy we obtain, we probably won't be able to absorb it.
Thinking about this, I steeled myself once again.
Just as they were about to pull the girl away, the driver suddenly slammed on the brakes without warning.
Then he turned around and glanced at us.
That alone is enough to surprise me. You were driving the whole time, so why were you eavesdropping on our conversation?
I thought this guy's most notable characteristic would be that he wouldn't know what we were talking about, and that he would just stay there and drive obediently.
But now I can't help but wonder what he's really thinking.
Suddenly, a cold sweat broke out on my back, and my lower body felt even hotter.
You rascal, you weren't listening to what we were saying the whole time, were you?
But when I called him just now, he really didn't answer!
If he's been listening the whole time, then he probably already knows about the dew-covered branches on us.
And about the blue armor...
I felt a wave of fear, but I just hoped that the Rakshasa Lake that Lao Liu found was not hostile to us.
If he were sent by the Blue Armor, or if he were the kind of person who ambushes or robs people here, then he would be a prime suspect.
We're doomed.
However, the probability of this is basically zero, since he was found by Lao Liu, and should at least have some contact with Lao Liu.
I noticed that when the driver looked at us, there was a look of surprise in his eyes, and then he quickly pressed the note in his hand with his left hand.
He stuffed the note back into his pocket. He didn't say anything, just stared at us coldly.
I knew I had to talk to him at this point.
"Sir, this car is too slow, let's walk there."
I called out to him.
He remained silent, staring at us.
I even repeated myself, afraid he wouldn't hear me.
I grabbed the girl's hand, ready to get off the bus, but at the same time I glanced at the warm glow of the wristband on my wrist. My chest ached, and my lower body felt like it was burning.
Only the area around the wristband on my hand is slightly more comfortable.
Just as I placed my hand on the car door and was about to push it open forcefully, a very clear voice suddenly came from in front of me.
It can only be this driver!
No, that hoarse voice just now became unusually strong and powerful.
"Once you're on the bus, don't even think about getting off!"
I froze, thinking I was hallucinating.
Yiyi froze on the spot. She was already somewhat afraid of the unknown environment below, and I guess it would be even harder to persuade the girl to get off the bus now.
As it turns out, this wasn't a relief at all; it was clearly something that this bearded guy had said.
Wow, you can talk!
All the way there, I just listened to him mechanically muttering about the Lan family's residence and such.
Even when I learned that he was conserving his energy, I thought he might be a guy who wasn't very good with words.
I asked him ten questions, and he didn't answer a single one.
He suddenly spoke up this time.
Furthermore, his voice was completely different from the mechanical one he had just spoken; it was a normal human voice, even more playful than Old Liu's.
Lei Jijian's mind was filled with astonishment as he muttered a few sarcastic remarks.
I didn't answer her directly; instead, I calmly spoke up.
"You can talk? You can..."
I pointed at the driver, my tone full of surprise, and I withdrew my hand that had been resting on the door.
“When I asked you before if you were right, you only said those few words. We used some tricks to provoke you, and that's when you finally hummed.”
Why did you suddenly become so talkative?
What's going on?
Only after I spoke did Hu Zi slowly glance at us, and what shocked me even more was that a very strange smile appeared on his lips.
Their mouths were practically stretched to their ears.
His eyes were no longer too empty, creating a stark contrast to his earlier expression.
"Just because I didn't tell you before doesn't mean I won't tell you."
His voice was steady; he'd gotten serious now.
The girl had already frowned, her face radiating coolness.
"You looked half asleep just now, but now...we're getting off!"
I followed her words: "Yes, we need to get off the bus. Your bus is too slow. We asked you to go get some water, but you won't go."
As I spoke, I lifted my sleeve, not knowing if he heard me, but there was no point in hiding this.
It revealed the wristband that was already warm on my wrist, and the light emanating from it flickered.
I told him that this was enough, and we were at his house.
Zhou Pangzi also left us a picture of that place, Lanjia.
Even though the map from the security checkpoint to the other side is a bit blurry and doesn't even have the landmarks, it's still enough.
"I don't know if Liu Guopeng told you, but we have a contract in place now, and time is of the essence."
Even though he completely ignored us just now, I really have no reason to blame him.
He was just helping out.
When I finished saying the word "contract," the bearded man's eyes suddenly changed, and he became more thoughtful.
"Do you have any on you?"
He said it with some disbelief.
At this point, I didn't have time to explain anymore. I just pointed to my legs and told him that my legs were burning hot.
"It's either a problem with your car, or the contract is about to be broken!"
The driver was startled, stroked his beard, blinked sharply, and then swallowed hard.
"You guys feel the heat now! I don't feel it at all!"
Then, the surprise in his eyes was replaced by disbelief and panic.
I think he probably knew about the contract.
Otherwise, her emotions wouldn't have changed so drastically.
And it was precisely his reaction that made me understand even more that he was different from us; he wouldn't be affected by such things.
The burning sensation we feel is definitely a result of the treaty.
"Why didn't you say anything before! Now you're stopping us from getting off the bus, are you up to something?"
Seeing that the guy meant no harm, Yiyi mustered up her courage and spoke up.
No, I was about to pull the girl off the bus while waiting for his answer.
But just as we were about to go down again, the bearded man slowly pointed to the energy field under his feet. I looked over and saw that the blue light was a little stronger than before.
If that's the case, then speed...
However, when I checked the car's energy interaction speed with the outside world again, there was still no change.
"Don't even think about leaving!"
The bearded man shouted.
