203: Section 203
The driver glanced at Lin Yi.
He was still wearing his school uniform, which made the driver think he was just messing around.
Maybe he had a falling out with his family? Or perhaps there was some other reason.
As it turned out, Lin Yi nodded.
He took out five hundred yuan and said, "Is this enough? If not, I'll add more!"
"This..."
The driver hesitated a bit.
"Kid, going to Wu Mountain is no small matter. You also know that it's dangerous everywhere at night. If we run into any Yao Beasts on the way..."
"Don't worry, I'll handle it. Just get me to Wu Mountain!"
Lin Yi answered decisively.
After he finished speaking, the driver saw his determined gaze and could only sigh and nod.
"Alright then. For the sake of the money, I'll risk my life to take you there!"
The driver put the five hundred yuan away and added, "Kid, five hundred isn't quite enough. If you have any more on you..."
Before he could finish, Lin Yi took out another five hundred.
"Is this enough?"
"Enough, enough. Sit tight, let's go!"
Stepping on the gas pedal, the taxi sped off in the direction of Wu Mountain.
Not long after Lin Yi left, an Audi arrived outside the residential complex.
Yang Yong hurriedly got out of the car and rushed toward the gate of the complex.
Chapter 164 Someone Has to Collect the Bodies
The taxi was driving on the expressway.
A single pair of headlights lonely drove away the darkness.
The entire expressway had only this one taxi.
Suddenly, Lin Yi's phone, sitting in the car, rang.
He took it out and glanced at it; it was a call from Yang Yong.
As soon as it connected, he heard Yang Yong's anxious voice.
"Hello? Lin Yi, where did you run off to?"
"Coach, I'm on my way to Wu Mountain!"
"What? You're going to Wu Mountain?"
Yang Yong fell into a brief silence.
Then, he said in a low tone, "Lin Yi, it's useless for you to go there. That's not a place where you can help!"
"The Monster Hunting Bureau, the Golden Robe Guards, and the Tiger Guards have all gone there. You don't need to worry too much about their safety. If there's real danger, you also..."
"Even if I can't help with anything, at least I can collect their bodies!"
Lin Yi replied in a calm tone.
On the other end, Yang Yong fell into silence again.
After a long while, he said softly, "Don't go up when you reach Wu Mountain. Wait for me at the foot of the mountain, I'll be there soon!"
"Okay!"
Lin Yi was someone who listened to advice.
He nodded and agreed immediately.
After hanging up the phone, the driver glanced at Lin Yi.
"Kid, what exactly are you going to Wu Mountain for? Collecting bodies? Whose bodies?"
From the driver's tone, it was easy to tell that he was a bit scared.
After all, in the middle of the night, not a single car could be seen on the expressway.
The night was inherently full of dangers, and there were too many unpredictable things.
Yet Lin Yi had just said the words 'collecting bodies'.
This made the driver feel a bit uneasy.
Lin Yi, sitting in the passenger seat, smiled, "Sir, just focus on driving. You can go back once we arrive!"
Hearing this, the driver looked back at Lin Yi again.
He sighed softly and didn't say anything else.
He slowly pressed down on the gas pedal, and the speed of the car kept increasing.
Anyway, there wasn't a single car on the expressway in the middle of the night.
The driver only had one thought now: get Lin Yi to his destination quickly so he could finish his shift and go home early.
The journey was long.
Three or four hours became increasingly lonely.
Lin Yi gazed at the darkness outside the car window, his mind filled with the figures of Chu Zhengxiong, Qin Zhaoxue, as well as Captain Han Bin and Captain Mo Ya.
Memories of the times spent with them were like scenes from a movie.
Flashing through his mind frame by frame, page by page.
From his first meeting with Chu Zhengxiong.
And Qin Zhaoxue's appearance as 'Snow Angel', wearing an all-black mask, looking cold and ruthless.
In the container warehouse, they fought side by side...
Although they hadn't known each other for long and the number of encounters was limited.
However, every interaction always left a deep impression on Lin Yi.
Thinking about how they were all currently fighting the Blood Drop Cultists at Wu Mountain.
If he didn't do something, he would always feel uneasy.
Even if it was just like what he had just told Yang Yong, to collect their bodies?
"Oh my goodness..."
"What is that thing?"
After the taxi had been driving for more than two hours.
Suddenly, the driver exclaimed.
Lin Yi quickly snapped back to reality and glanced ahead.
He saw that half the sky had been stained red by that blood color.
Clusters of blood clouds were constantly rolling in the sky.
That bright red color looked just as if it had been dyed with blood, eerie and strange.
"It's fine, just keep driving!"
After Lin Yi finished speaking, he withdrew his gaze.
The taxi continued driving on the expressway, heading towards Wu Mountain.
...
[Sorry, the number you have dialed is powered off...]
[Sorry, the number you have dialed is powered off, please try again later...]
[Sorry, the number you have dialed...]
Inside the Audi also driving on the expressway.
The man sitting in the passenger seat was making calls over and over again.
The result was the same without exception; they were all powered off.
"Teacher's phone won't go through, and General Guo Wu and Lei Sheng's phones are all powered off too!"
After speaking, a trace of worry flashed in the man's eyes.
Yang Yong, who was driving, kept his eyes fixed on the front.
"Don't rush, maybe the signal in the mountains is bad and can't connect to the outside?"
"Bad signal? Wouldn't that prompt 'cannot connect'? Powered off means it was manually operated, okay?"
The man turned back to explain a few things to Yang Yong.
As a result, just after he finished speaking.
Yang Yong roared angrily, "I know, I f*cking know, you don't need to remind me..."
Facing Yang Yong's anger, the man stopped talking.
At this moment, the two men's hearts were actually the same.
They were all worried about those people currently fighting at Wu Mountain.
In the afternoon, after the Martial Arts Exam ended.
The old man personally led the Tiger Guards, the Golden Robe Guards, and Captain Lan Yang's Sixth Squad to rush to Wu Mountain for reinforcements.
Originally, Yang Yong and the others didn't take it too seriously.
After all, at Wu Mountain, apart from a few squads from the Monster Hunting Bureau.
