The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 944 A Golden Crow (18)

For Liu Sheng, the more troublesome thing now is—

As we ventured deeper into the mountains, the cell phone signal became intermittent, and just now it was completely cut off, leaving only an unsettling exclamation mark.

If she hadn't already downloaded an offline map and could see her location via GPS, she probably wouldn't even realize that she had gone astray.

The phone now has 15% battery remaining.

Fortunately, Liu Sheng had brought a power bank with her. She plugged it in quietly. Even though there was no signal, she still needed to look at the map.

With a gentle press of the side button, the phone screen turns off.

On the reflective screen, Liu Sheng's face was clearly visible on his shoulder. His baseball cap was pulled down low, and his face was hidden in the shadows, completely black.

Same as her.

Liu Sheng's heart tightened suddenly, and he slammed his elbow backward!
But the man grabbed her tightly.

Fast and accurate.

Moreover, it was quite powerful, and Liu Sheng had no way to break free.

After all, He Tao's physical condition is not very good. Liu Sheng has only been able to hold on until now by relying entirely on his martial arts skills. Once he encounters someone with truly strong skills, he will suffer a setback.

However, this was the first time she had encountered someone with such exceptional skills in this world, who posed an even greater threat to her than those strange creatures.

[Of course, it's also because the strange creatures you encountered weren't trained properly; their transformation into strange forms actually lowered their sanity, making them easier for you to deal with.]

Indeed, unless it's the kind of thing that involves trickery or is inherently equipped with a desperate situation.

For example, right now...

Liu Sheng's eyes narrowed, and he remained silent.

The next second, the man behind him took out his phone, the screen lit up, and a simple memo was displayed:
The driver is problematic.

Liu Sheng glanced at it, her expression unchanged, and she only nodded almost imperceptibly.

He twisted his wrist again, indicating that he wanted the other person to let go.

"Don't speak, and I'll let go," the other person whispered as they leaned closer.

Liu Sheng calmly nodded slightly.

That's considered a fulfillment.

This person kept his word and immediately let go.

Liu Sheng gently squeezed her wrist.

That hand was really strong; just one squeeze and her wrist turned slightly red and throbbed.

Then, the man silently picked up Liu Sheng's hiking backpack, sat down next to her as if they were old friends, and typed a line in his memo:

[Do you realize that the car is not driving in the correct lane right now?]

【Know. 】

I'm going to test the waters.

Liu Sheng shrugged.

Let's give it a try. There's no better way right now. Anyway, this guy seems very confident.

But she wasn't sure if the man understood the situation at hand.

The man raised his voice and called out to the driver, "Driver, I need to use the restroom, it's urgent. Could you please find a place to stop?"

After a long pause, the driver finally said slowly, "We can't stop."

The voice was dry, like a rusty gear, with an unnatural sluggishness.

The man smiled and asked, "Why can't we stop? It's been more than thirty minutes since the last stop, why haven't we reached the next stop yet... What's it called again, Zhengjia Village?"

The driver replied mechanically, "We haven't arrived yet."

Because of the conversation, the "driver" seemed unable to focus on the sharp bend in front of him and could only slow down slightly.

Liu Sheng and the man exchanged a glance.

Looks like there's something going on!

"I really can't hold it in anymore, driver, could you please do me a favor? There aren't any other cars on the road..."

"We can't stop."

"Please, please, just have mercy..."

"I told you, we can't stop!"

The driver yelled, and the car shook violently!

Both of them felt a sudden, forceful push against their backs.

A sudden panic gripped my heart—the "driver" had stepped on the gas and accelerated again!
Now the roads are all winding mountain roads, with the sea or cliffs on either side. When speeding along at high speed, the whole car feels like it might veer off the road at any moment, plunge into the sea, or crash into a mountain.

A sharp bend came into view, and the wheels screeched as they scraped against the ground.

Liu Sheng and the man were violently thrown to one side, barely managing to regain their balance by gripping the armrests of their seats tightly.

"Driver, could you... slow down a bit?" the man called out with difficulty.

“Hehe, hehe…” The “driver” let out a chilling laugh.

"I said that……"

"Can't stop..."

The car was going faster and faster, and the centrifugal force was getting stronger and stronger, almost throwing the two of them off their seats.

But the driver was able to control each sharp turn precisely, as if it were some kind of pre-programmed mechanical program.

"We can't wait any longer!"

Shaken and disoriented, Liu Sheng gritted her teeth and uttered those words.

After saying that, she raised her hand and pointed to a spot in front of the car.

The man looked in the direction Liu Sheng pointed—

Not far ahead, a warning sign stood prominently in the middle of the road, with several words clearly visible:
"Road ahead is blocked by landslide, passage is prohibited!"

There's also a railing across the way.

However, the barrier was useless to the "driver" who had lost his mind. Instead of slowing down, he stepped on the gas pedal hard!
Bang!
The railing was crushed into pieces, and the warning sign flew into the air and landed with a thud behind the car.

Looking further into the distance, the road continues to a cliff formed by a landslide, below which lies the vast sea.

At the current speed, this car will probably fly off the cliff in less than a minute.

That will be the end of life.

In this way...

The two looked at each other.

We must act quickly!

……

soon.

With a powerful thrust of his legs, the man darted forward like an arrow.

Inside the speeding bus, he remained as steady as if on flat ground, quickly using the handrails and seats for leverage, and reached the driver's seat in just a few steps.

Then he suddenly reached out, grabbed the driver by the neck, and with his strong arm, hooked his body and threw him aside!
In that instant, the car finally went out of control.

Fortunately, no driver was pressing the accelerator, so the speed didn't continue to increase. However, since no one was braking or controlling the steering wheel, the car inevitably veered and lurched towards the sea due to inertia.

However, at the same time, Liu Sheng also rushed up.

Although he stumbled and bumped into the railings and seats countless times, he couldn't be as steady as the man, almost rolling over as he reached the front of the car.

The moment the man shook off the driver, Liu Sheng lunged forward and grabbed the steering wheel tightly, forcibly pulling the car, which was heading towards the sea, back onto the right track.

With his amazing core strength, he twisted his body, sat in the driver's seat, and slammed on the brakes!

The wheels rubbed together violently, emitting a piercing screech!
The "driver" was still struggling, whimpering and trying to lunge forward, but was firmly held down by the man.

He shielded the driver with his body, bracing himself against the narrow space to avoid being thrown out of the car. Sweat dripped from his chin, and his eyes, hidden beneath his baseball cap, were fixed on Liu Sheng, filled with worry.

He remembered that when they were quickly discussing tactics, he asked the girl if she could drive, and she shook her head firmly.

He almost broke down on the spot.

We can't let this little girl control the driver, can we?
Although she seemed to have some martial arts skills, in his eyes they were just fancy moves and not very useful.

But he still had to subdue this crazy driver, so there was no way he could be distracted by controlling the steering wheel and stepping on the brakes.

I was almost in despair when I heard her calmly say:
"I can learn, just tell me the basic operation."

He almost thought he had misheard.

But seeing the girl's serious expression and knowing that time was running out and the cliff was just around the corner, he had no choice but to quickly explain the positions of the steering wheel, gear shift, handbrake, brake, and accelerator.

I was initially worried that the little girl wouldn't be able to absorb the information, but to my surprise, she nodded without hesitation, indicating that she had learned it.

Although I was skeptical, I had no choice but to take a gamble because of the urgency of the situation.

However, the out-of-control car actually slowed down and finally came to a steady stop in front of the cliff.

Just one step away.

It was just half a second off.

It's all over.

The man was stunned for a long time before he felt a burning pain in his lungs and a slight dizziness.

He then realized that, due to extreme nervousness, he had been holding his breath without realizing it.

The little girl turned her head and smiled gently at him.

Her sun hat had already slipped off in the chaos, and the sunlight fell on her face, making her look dazzlingly confident.

He stared at her blankly.

She really...did it.
