Chapter 11 (2/2)
That was his last sighting No more follow up reports could be found after that
”Are they going to give thathim as a publicity stunt?” Zhou Quan resentfully contended In the photo, there was a convoy led by an array of luxury cars loaded with all the top executives from the Lin family
Chu Feng glanced at the photo, but he left with no comments
Nowadays, everyone's communicator had been flooded with all sorts of reports A new report on the latest strange occurrence cropped up every now and then,those who read them ever so anxious
Chu Feng gave those headlines a fairly cursory reading He then closed his eyes for rest before he finally fell asleep
”Hey ot a proble from his slumbers
Chu Feng looked a bit confused as he first regained his consciousness It was afternoon already The sun was almost down
”What's the proble asked
”The driver see more than a thousand li, and he has yet to see the destination He said that he had just seen the guidepost indicating that there were still a few hundreds of li left to cover,” Zhou Quan explained
Besides, hway seemed to have also been torn apart by some unexplainable forces At times, they had to endure some rather unpleasant moments filled with buhway and onto the rugged dirt road
This caused Chu Feng to wake right up, because to him, the story had sounded ever so familiar Perhaps it was the same phenomenon as the one that had happened in the district where the cluster of vines had clai, or was it being stretched by some forms of mysterious force?
Soers felt like the blame should have been on the driver hi the wrong way see's theory But the driver swore that as an adept coach driver that had been taking years of itinerary travelling on this line, he would never make such an inadequate mistake
The coach drove in the exact direction suggested by the roadside guideposts
”The Deuce! Alright, I'm done I quit Fxck this” The driver was asurrounded by whirls of cooing the wrong way, he decided to throw up his job ”What on earth is happening? I guess it e occurrences reported in the news I want to live I don't want to die yet!”
”Uh?” Soht ahead
There was ainto the clouds Its appearance was sudden and abrupt It situated itself right beside the highway, only inches away fro it
”This o What happened?”
”Driver, please hurry! Take the wheels and get us out of here!”
Shrill shouts rang from within the bus
The driver took a quick look at the situation around him, and without another word, he sto like a bat out of hell He prohtened too He witnessed the unexplained appearance of that mountain in action
”I really shouldn't have setjourney” He remorsed His face was pale as a sheet as he desperately tried to accelerate
Within the coach, many people were anxious
Chu Feng and Zhou Quan had been through a lot, so in co relatively calm
However, Zhou Quan's coer trust himself, so instead he turned to his prayers With eyes closed, his mouth murmured, ”God bless me! God bless us! God let us arrive home safe and sound!”
The coach aled and swerved between lanes and lanes; they had too many narrow escapes from a severe accident
In fact, one could see with ease that all the other cars had also been speeding Obviously, the passengers on those cars were just as frightened
”Thank God We finally made it”
As the sky finally turned indigo blue, and a great h of relief He saw recognizable sceneries The unbroken line of the undulating prodigious hilltops of Taihang Mountains felt ever so familiar and intiradually visible
Chu Feng felt more and more eased in mind It was only a matter of few li before he could reach home He could easily walk there from here if he had to
However, before the passengers could even learn to appreciate the smoothness of their ride, the coach caers crashed their faces and upper bodies into the seats in front of theers cried in pain
”Do you even kno to drive?” someone cursed
But soon, the coach returned to silence
There was a lake for stars Plu with the serene ht; it looked as if it had added a layer of chiffon to the fa?ade of this tranquil lake
The lake was a big one It glea up the darkness of the night Everything was in harrace
”What's happening? How comes the road has already ended here? And what's this? A lake?” Zhou Quan was astounded They were not far fro in this district since his early childhood, and he had never spotted a lake here during all those years
The road ended here too!
”Hurry up! Let's get off and go around it!” Chu Feng urged
The cause for the abrupt appearance of this lake and theonly inearth on which they were located
Some landforms of mountains and rivers that had been previously unknown to the world was now e before people's eyes!
The passengers were quite divided Soested to take a circuitous route around the lake, while others insisted on re for the dawn to break
It was a long trudge ho and Zhou Quan They trekked for four hours along the circue up ahead
It was a country town called Shun Ping Zhou Quan's house was right in that town
Yet, it would be another ten li for Chu Feng
”Ho in the success of his hoh it was not an easy one, but it was, for sure, unforgettable and inimitable
”Uh? What is that?” Chu Feng was facing the Taihang Mountains, when suddenly, the sound of ru ed
”How majestic!” The mountains had an altitude of at least thousands of es twisted and twined, stretching endlessly Hundreds and thousands of the all those that had come before them
Chu Feng stood, revelling in the glittering view in front of him
