The cars here are even more terrifying than those over there, and it's clear that a serious accident occurred here before all the other cars crashed.
Some cars even flipped over and lay on top of other cars, making the battle even more intense than fighting for parking spaces, given the sheer number of cars involved.
On one side of the toll station is a low mountain, and on the other side is the toll station's service area, but on both sides, all the cars are parked in the same spot.
They had been walking at the limit below the road the whole way, but now they had to go up and face the traffic.
"Zhan Yi, go down and clear a path, let Xiao A assist you from up here." The car's power was still not enough; the cars were too tightly packed together, and it was impossible to bump into them. The only option was to move the cars manually.
After Zhan got off the vehicle, he started the disassembly process in front of the car, and then Xiao A operated the robotic arm to move the parts.
Actually, it was initially operated by the robotic arm itself, but the stacking became too severe, so we had to use Zhan Yi, a free laborer that doesn't need to eat or drink.
To ensure that Zhan Yi was not disturbed, Shen Muyu protected it from the tower, since there were still some zombies around.
After passing the toll booth, there was another traffic jam, but the situation improved significantly afterward, and the car finally accelerated slightly.
"I'm speechless! It's one thing for the city to have elevated highways, but why are there them here too?!" The further we went, the more something seemed off. Ahead, we saw an intricate network of elevated highways leading in all sorts of directions.
"That was just the main urban area of the mountain city, but because there are so many mountains, the area is not big enough, so the rest of the area was also included in the planning." As if knowing that Shen Muyu had any questions, Li Qian said through the walkie-talkie, and also told him which road to turn onto.
Oh, so what I thought was the suburbs wasn't actually the suburbs after all, Shen Muyu thought to herself.
As soon as the car entered the elevated road, an electronic voice that people both love and hate started playing.
"Congratulations on triggering a special mission. If the mission is completed, the reward mileage will be reduced by 1,000 kilometers. If the mission is failed, the player will be stripped of their identity."
"Special mission: Rescue trapped personnel and transport them to Huangshan base."
"What the hell!" Shen Muyu was completely dumbfounded when he saw the words on the screen. What kind of garbage task was this? It didn't even give him a chance to refuse!
The rewards are slightly better than before, but high returns mean high risks.
After the light screen retracted, the familiar brick fell onto the platform in front of the car. Shen Muyu picked it up and saw that it was a topographical map of the area, with the route she needed to take to her mission destination.
"Hey A, let me sync it for you." Shen Muyu placed the brick on the platform that A had extended.
"Master, the destination isn't far from here, but it's located in an undeveloped mountain," Little A said after scanning.
"Okay, I understand. Let's go that way." Shen Muyu sighed and said, but his mind was on what to do with the three people. After all, now that there was a route, they were no longer of any use to him.
She was afraid that if she took him to the mission site, she wouldn't have time to suppress Li Qian, and it would be a laughing stock if she were killed instead.
"Never mind, Xiao A, let's stop and drop them off after we get off the overpass." Shen Muyu thought for a moment and decided to leave it to fate.
If they were lucky enough to survive, that would be fine; if they didn't, they could only blame their bad luck. She had already done more than enough by not taking matters into her own hands.
"Sigh, I'm still too kind," Shen Muyu said, touching her little face.
A short while later, Xiao A drove the car to the foot of the overpass and stopped it at the foot of a mountain wall.
"What's wrong?" When he saw the car stop, Li Qian thought something had happened up ahead, but he couldn't see anything from his blind spot, so he could only ask through the walkie-talkie.
"You can go now, we don't need you anymore. Oh, and remember to put the walkie-talkies in the cage, they'll be collected later," Shen Muyu said.
"Why? There are still many turns ahead, and I know how to get to the base. I'm very useful!" Li Qian thought Shen Muyu was also going to the Huangshan base, so he anxiously explained his usefulness.
They have nothing on them now, but they are still a hundred or two hundred kilometers away from the base. There are many wild animals in the mountains. How can they get there with their meager remaining superpowers?
"Go down," Shen Muyu said patiently again.
"No way! You brought us out here without any preparation, and now you're abandoning us? There's no such thing as a free lunch!" Li Qian's temper suddenly flared up, and he shouted into the walkie-talkie.
Shen Muyu rolled her eyes and immediately increased her mental focus. The sudden pain caused Li Qian to lie down straight. If Zhou Quan and the other person hadn't helped him up, he probably would have hit his head on the cage.
When Shen Muyu first started probing people with his spiritual energy, he couldn't control the amount, so those people suffered a lot of pain and even risked becoming mentally impaired.
After finally getting under control, I ran into someone like this. It was such a waste of my emotions.
Only then did Li Qian realize that he was merely a prisoner of inferior strength. He quickly suppressed his temper and, with the help of Zhou Quan and the other man, stumbled out of the cage.
Upon seeing the walkie-talkie in the cage, Shen Muyu initially planned to leave, but then she remembered something and took out her mood glasses and put them on.
Shen Muyu has never had the habit of wearing glasses, always feeling that they are uncomfortable pressing on the bridge of her nose, so she usually puts them away after use.
