Chapter 403 Strange Space
Chapter 403 Strange Space
The driver was not the only person sitting on that long-distance bus. The rows behind were filled with people, and they looked at people with terrifying eyes, even scarier than those purebred wild wolves.
Although the light was not very good at this time, Shen Wen took a look and with his years of experience, he was able to guess a little clue.
I heard the big driver, impatient with the Hong Kong Island boy's nagging, waved his hand and said, "I'll just assume you have nowhere to go, even if you join us, I'll open the door and let you get in."
Then the car door swung open, as if inviting them to join in with great generosity.
Shen Wen had already grabbed the younger brother's hand. He quickly made up his mind, then pulled the younger brother forward and took a step forward, and got on the long-distance bus in a carefree manner.
The car door was closed and started again, speeding towards the horizon in the gradually darkening night.
The people in the car were relatively quiet at first, but after a while, probably because they felt the journey was too long, everyone gathered together to find companions and started playing in groups of three or five. They did not care about the two rookies Shen Wen and Hong Kong Island Xiaodi. A group of people were drinking and playing finger-guessing games, a group of people were playing poker and gambling, and a group of them were actually gay friends, talking about women's things like a group of best friends.
At this time, the younger brother beside Shen Wen shivered and swallowed his saliva, and whispered to Shen Wen: "Hey brother, I...did we get on the wrong bus? I feel...it feels bad."
Shen Wen thought.
It's more than bad.
Later, when he heard the driver talking, he realized that they were the robbers who had snatched food from the tongue before! He couldn't have heard it wrong. The two disappointing words the driver said when he opened the container compartment were the same tone and voice as the later conversation.
The international human traffickers who engage in human smuggling and organ trafficking in this world are already devil-like existences. To fall into the hands of this group of people can only mean that this group of people is more terrifying than the devil.
However, Shen Wen would not tell this speculation to this cowardly younger brother at this time. He just smiled perfunctorily and changed the subject to chat with this younger brother: "By the way! I haven't asked you what your name is yet? Well, let me tell you my name first. My last name is Shen and my given name is Wen, which is the same as Wen in Yixian Yixiaozuochunwen."
When the younger brother heard this, he replied, "My name...my name is not that beautiful. My last name is Locke, and my English name is Leicester."
Shen Wen touched his forehead, trying hard to think of the name of the movie that Lester was from, but he couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time.
Shen Wen had no choice but to give up and turned back to talk to the younger brother about other topics.
We chatted and laughed like this and walked for a while.
Just when everyone was immersed in the joy, the long-distance bus suddenly braked and stopped abruptly.
Everyone was knocked all over the place by the inertia of the car. When they got up again, some people even hit hard objects and suffered minor injuries on their faces and bodies.
For a while, the crowd was filled with curses. Shen Wen and Locke were sitting in the back seat, and were also thrown onto other people by the strong force. The man was hit so hard that his teeth were bared. A hand as big as an iron clamp grabbed Locke's hair and slapped him on the head, then threw him down and raised his hand to attack Shen Wen. Shen Wen was prepared and slipped away to avoid being hit. Everyone else had a lot of friction.
The driver who braked suddenly shouted, "Stop arguing. Everyone, look ahead and see if there is no road ahead."
After he said that, several people came to the front window and looked ahead. They were also puzzled. Someone said, "It's weird. It shouldn't be like this! I remember that according to this itinerary, we should be entering the city soon. How come... why can't we see the road?"
The other one nodded and said, "That's right! It's too dark out here. How come such a big headlight can't even illuminate the road?"
The people at the back started to gather and crowded to the front to see what was going on.
The big man who had been causing trouble for Shen Wen and the other man temporarily put aside his grudge and was taken away by his companions to see what was going on.
Everyone was completely puzzled and didn't know what was going on.
At this time, someone said, "Since we can't guess what's going on, let's send one or two people to investigate ahead."
Someone said, "I can see it, but I can't see the road. There's no cliff ahead, so how can I fall into it? If I go, who will go with me?"
The burly man who was picking a fight with Shen Wen and his companions were really inhumane.
He grabbed the strong man's arm, helped him lift it up and said, "He's going. He said he wants to go. He's the most powerful in our group."
The strong man was praised the most, and he was a little proud. He even turned around to look at the two weaklings Shen Wen and Locke, and said, "Yes! I'll go."
So the two first volunteers got off the bus.
The big guy leaned his head out of the window and watched the two people walking towards the front of the car in the dark night.
After a long time, everyone waited for the two men to come back, but they didn't, so they sent two more people to get off the car to investigate, but the two men were gone too.
The group of people in the car seemed to be in a panic, especially the group of old friends. They all made various guesses, some said it was a ghost wall, some said the devil had descended, and they were simply talking at once and confusing the public.
There was a straight man who was impatient with his gay friend's noise and couldn't help but curse a few words, then pointed at them and said, "Two groups of our people have gone, pick two people from among you, you must contribute this time."
My gay friends became even noisier, and their already shrill voices became even louder, making my brain hurt.
At this time, the driver who was sitting firmly in the driver's seat shouted, "Shut up."
He raised and closed all the surrounding glass, then said to the people behind him, "It's getting late. I've decided not to travel tonight. Everyone go back to your seats and sleep for the night. We'll talk tomorrow."
Everyone seemed to obey his words very much. Everyone returned to their seats obediently, closed their eyes and began to sleep.
Shen Wen stared blankly through the glass at the creepy darkness outside.
Locke quietly pulled him and made him turn his head to look at him. He signaled him with his eyes to obey his orders and go to sleep quickly.
Shen Wen stopped looking out the window and lay on his legs, pretending to sleep.
He rested his head on his arms, but his eyes were wide open, full of understanding.
Again!
The scene outside was extremely familiar; it was the black fog on Slit Mountain, a precursor to the transformation of time and space.
You don’t have to fall asleep, it will be dawn in the blink of an eye, maybe even a sunny noon.
Just as Shen Wen was daydreaming, the light from the car window gradually brightened and there were a few crisp bird calls outside the window. To Shen Wen's ears, it sounded like the crowing of a rooster.
When the dazzling sunlight at noon touched everyone in the car, a few people who were still awake looked outside in disbelief. When they realized that this was not a dream but reality, they shook the people around them anxiously, wishing they could immediately let everyone discover this wonderful scene.
Not only that, the four people who went outside the car to investigate also came back safe and sound. When they saw that all the windows were closed, they knocked on the windows to give a reminder.
The big driver was also not asleep. He noticed the person outside at the first moment, quickly opened the car door, then got up from his seat and ran to the door to check the situation.
"Third and fourth brothers, what's going on? Is it dangerous outside?"
The big driver asked the two people who got on first.
The two called San'er and Si'er replied, "Brother, come with us to take a look. We suspect that we have reached the place called Paradise on Earth. Not only is there no danger, but there are also birds singing and flowers blooming."
The two people who got on the car behind him nodded happily and said, "Yes, Boss. It looks like a fairyland valley outside. I even saw two rare golden monkeys chewing on branches."
Everyone in the carriage was awakened and attracted by their conversation. Looking out the window, they could see the dense woods and grass outside. They couldn't help their curiosity and all clamored to go down to take a look.
So everyone got off the bus one after another.
Shen Wen and Locke also got out of the car and looked at the beautiful scenery of lush jungle, beautiful mountains and beautiful waters. Locke pointed to the graceful peaks and said, "This place is so familiar, like a famous mountain in our motherland. Brother Shen, take a look. Doesn't it have the unique ancient flavor of our motherland?"
Shen Wen was so amused by his leisurely comments that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Silly boy, do you really think there is only beauty here? You never know what danger may come.
Shen Wen nodded perfunctorily, and changed the subject by asking, "Locke, are you thirsty? Why don't we go find some water nearby?"
No matter where or when people are, eating and drinking water are always the top priority. Shen Wen thought of it, and others had thought of it too. The big driver had already told the people around him to go around the neighborhood and find water for everyone.
Everyone had endless fun exploring the new environment. One by one, they asked the driver for permission and wandered around.
Locke took Shen Wen along a path in the woods. He looked so leisurely and contented, just like a traveler on his own expense.
Shen Wen was dissatisfied with his slow pace and urged him to walk faster. However, he was still looking around curiously. Shen Wen had no choice but to say, "I'll go find some water first. You should hurry up and catch up."
After Shen Wen finished speaking, he quickened his pace, turned around the trees, and soon disappeared from Locke's sight.
Shen Wen shook off Locke and used the time conversion of the trees to go to a place farther away from them. Then he called out a drone from the weapon space and let the drone survey the entire nearby mountains. He first wanted to know whether this was the Slit Mountain, a terrain he was familiar with before.
This time the drone flew very short and came back quickly. After he saw the entire mountain range, he was stunned!
He was going crazy!
How big is this Slit Mountain? Why is the scene different every time I come back? His drone has a wider range, right? It's crazy, no place is the same.
Shen Wen returned to the woods dejectedly, while the silly Locke was still picking mushrooms in the woods.
When Locke saw Shen Wen coming back, he asked, "Did you find water? You? Are you full? Did you bring me some?"
Shen Wen was already upset, and seeing such a man made him even more upset. Shen Wen pouted and said, "I'm not thirsty anymore. I'm going back. Go find some water by yourself."
Watching him walk away without looking back, Locke looked at Shen Wen stupidly.
