The car that Torres prepared was a custom-made black seven-seater Lincoln Navigator.
In fact, due to the reason that Zhang Lisheng used to pursue the size of the car the most in order to carry his wizard gu conveniently, other than a limousine that was used as a limousine, the rest of the cars in the garage of the villa were all large SUVs.
Breathing in the fresh air and listening to the sound of flowing water in the distant mountains, Zhang Lisheng stepped on the wet gravel road and bypassed the garden. When he saw this car that seemed to be full of power and gave off the feeling of climbing mountains and wading rivers as if it was walking on flat ground, he nodded in satisfaction. "Abigail, you've chosen a good car." Then, he entered the driver's seat.
"This is what I should do. Be careful, Sir."
"Don't worry, I've always been very careful when I drive.
That's right, I won't be coming back today after returning to school. Goodbye, "Zhang Lisheng said with a smile when he saw Guo Caiying entering the co-driver's seat. Turning on the lights, he started the car and slowly walked to the foot of the mountain.
The two beams of light in front of the car merged together and broke through the night sky to illuminate the road. However, in this night where it began to drizzle, the light could only reach 20 to 30 meters away.
The space in the SUV was quite considerable, but no matter how big the car was, it was just a narrow, private space. It was just like being locked in an elevator that had suddenly stopped. When a young man and a young woman were alone in it for a long time, a subtle atmosphere would naturally develop.
Feeling that it was very uncomfortable to continue to remain silent, Guo Caiying looked at the slippery road outside through the windshield in front of her and suddenly whispered, "I'm sorry, Junior Brother. I originally wanted to help you today, but in the end, it ended up like this."
"It's alright, Senior Sister. I'm also a Chinese so I can understand your decision. It's a virtue for a girl to behave herself."
Guo Caiying was stunned. Not knowing what she was thinking, her expression changed slightly. "Then, it's inappropriate for me to stay in your house for a night. You have 14 guest rooms and the road is flooded during the heavy rain, so how is it inappropriate for me to stay in your house for a night?"
"Senior Sister, you know that I didn't mean that. Okay, it's my fault for saying the wrong thing. I'm sorry."
"You really don't have any temper at all. You're too gentle, it's quite boring." Seemingly feeling that she was being unreasonable, Guo Caiying muttered in a low voice and stopped talking, staring into the distance silently.
This was the first time that he was called 'gentle' after becoming a wizard. Zhang Lisheng could not help but feel that it was a little weird. He could only smile speechlessly and became silent as well.
In the silence, the SUV drove down the mountain road and turned into the river-like road.
The car was driving in the sewage that was more than half a meter deep. The road in front of them had completely disappeared. They could only rely on the trees planted on the side of the road and the cars that had broken down on the road to distinguish between the road and the wilderness.
In such a harsh environment, it was impossible for a car with superior performance to run too fast. However, Zhang Lisheng's speed of less than 10 kilometers per hour still made the apology and patience in Guo Caiying's heart disappear bit by bit.
"Junior, are you driving a Lincoln or riding a snail? No, even a snail is faster than us. No matter how bad the road is, it shouldn't be like this."
"Safety is more important in such a harsh environment, Senior Sister. We're only more than 20 kilometers away from Stanford. Even if we drive at a speed of 10 miles per hour, we can still send you back to the dormitory before your usual resting time."
"Do you still plan to drive at this tortoise speed all the way? What the hell?" The girl put her hand on her forehead and sighed. "It's really unfortunate that this Lincoln has fallen into your hands. Get down and let me drive."
"Of course you can, but do you have your driver's license with you?"
"I'm wearing sportswear and riding a bicycle on a college campus. How could I possibly bring my driver's license with me?" Guo Caiying pointed at the empty road outside the car window, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Do you think we'll encounter the police at such a time and place?"
"This has nothing to do with whether the police are present or not. It's just that personally, I'll always abide by the law unless I have no other choice."
"I think you're just a cautious old pedant. Your mental age is about the same as an old man in his sixties." The young man's words were calm and soothing, but it gave off an irrefutable feeling. The girl was stunned for a while and could only lower the electronically controlled seat as if it was out of sight and out of mind. "Alright, continue to drive. I'll rest for a while first …"
At this time, the SUV had already driven out of the section with the deepest water. All of a sudden, the girl, who was about to lie down, saw three lights that were faintly visible in the darkness in the distance. She could even faintly discernible exclamations and cries resonated in the night rain.
"Junior Brother, do you think something happened in front?" Guo Caiying, who noticed the unusual situation, could not care less about her irritation and asked nervously.
"Looks like it should be a group of thieves who originally planned to steal the tires of a few cars that had broken down on the road to exchange for change in the heavy rain. They encountered a few unlucky night walkers and turned into robbers." Zhang Lisheng's gaze pierced through the rain and could clearly see five to six black men wearing old jackets of various styles. With just one glance, he could tell that they were unemployed young men who were gathered in a circle and shouted excitedly.
"Really? Then w-what should we do … Oh, that's right!
Call the police! Let's call the police now! " The girl became more and more nervous when she heard this. She took out her phone and dialed 911, but she realized that the communication was unfortunately cut off again.
Looking at the silent signal on the screen, Guo Caiying, who had received several years of Western education and had already gotten used to the so-called 'God's to God and Caesar's to Caesar' division of duties, did not have the intention to help when she saw injustice. Instead, she said worriedly, "There's no signal now. Looks like we can only inform the campus police when we reach the university.
Junior Brother, don't stop the car later. You must rush over directly … "
As she was speaking, she suddenly felt that the cries that were getting clearer as they got closer seemed to be familiar. With her eyes widened in horror, the girl choked and lost her composure as she shouted, "Ah! Oh no! I think the crying sounds like Chuhe! Yes! That's Chuhe's voice!
What should I do? What should I do? Chuhe and Luo Bingya must have encountered robbers on their way to look for me!
I-I'm so stupid! Why did I tell her the address? W-What should I do … "
Upon hearing Guo Caiying's exclamation, Zhang Lisheng looked at the group of thugs in the distance again and really saw the face of a desperate Asian girl through the gap.
"You're right, Senior Sister. Looks like Senior Sister Chuhe has really been robbed." The young man frowned and pondered for a while before changing the gear of the car. Calmly, he said, "Senior Sister, fasten your seat belt tightly and sit tight. I'll solve the trouble first." Then, he stepped on the accelerator to the maximum.
The young black thugs who had already surrounded a few fat 'prey' in the distance had also noticed that there was another car driving over on the road. One of them, who looked the youngest and should be considered as a teenager, said with a grin, "Brother, there's another car coming. Should we throw a few more stones to block it?"
"Let's not take the risk. I'm afraid the driver won't stop even if we throw a bomb in this situation. If he loses control of the direction, he might hit us instead …" The leader, who was the tallest among the thugs and was still wearing a pair of wide-rimmed sunglasses in the rainy night, turned his head to look at the car that suddenly accelerated crazily a few hundred meters away and wisely shook his head.
As he was speaking, he was surprised to find that the large SUV in the distance was not fleeing at all. Instead, it was flashing with dazzling lights as it aimed at the target and charged straight at him like a ferocious steel monster.
Shuddering, the tall black man exclaimed, "W-What the f * ck! Sh * t! The driver of that car is crazy! Quickly hide! Quickly …"
In the midst of the leader's heart-wrenching roar, the thugs who were already shrouded in dazzling lights panicked and scrambled away from the encirclement before hiding by the roadside. After an ear-piercing loud bang resonated, they saw with their own eyes that the two old cars that they drove here were knocked into the air like a piece of paper. They were stopped by a big tree by the roadside and turned into a pile of junk.
Then, under the illumination of the car lights that tore through the rain curtain, a bald skinny figure wearing loose black casual clothes opened the door of the driver's seat of the SUV that had just displayed an amazing brute force and stepped into the rain with a pair of brown leather boots.
"Buddy, y-you've stirred up big trouble …" As the leader, even though he was still in shock and his lips were still trembling, the tall black man still trembled as he reached for his sunglasses in the rain and put them on. Pointing at the skinny figure not far away, he threatened forcefully.
However, before he could finish his words, he saw the skinny figure stepping on the rain and charging forward. His speed was so fast that it was as fast as a ghost and directly appeared in front of him. With just a wave of his palm, he broke his fingers.
Dumbfounded, the tall black man stared at the finger that was pointing at him at a strange angle. Before he could even feel the pain, he saw the skinny figure's fist swinging at his chest.
His heart suddenly itched as though it was bitten by a mosquito. Then, he saw the bald skinny figure whose face could not be seen clearly because of the light behind him, bypassing him directly.
"W-What the hell are you doing …" The thug leader was stunned for a few seconds before he asked in shock. However, he was shocked to find that he suddenly lost the strength to even turn his head without a trace. His voice was so soft that it could not even be compared to the sound of a drizzle falling on the ground.
The itch on his chest turned into numbness, and the numbness turned into a stinging pain. The tall black man whose arteries had been severed by an external force opened his mouth wide and took a few rapid breaths. However, he could not even feel the coolness of the night rain falling into his mouth. His entire body trembled as he knelt on the ground and muttered, "W-What's going on? T-This is really f * cking hell …" Then, he became limp like a pile of mud.
The shallow puddle of water on the road covered his mouth and nose. After a few bubbles surged up to the surface of the water and dissipated, the world in front of this fierce thug became eternal darkness.
