【Chapter 266】 Highway of Death

"Eh?" Ji Xiang's expression moved, and he suddenly said: "Brother Zheng, do you guess that the great monk is because he knew that the typhoon was coming, and he couldn't bear the disaster of the people along the coast, so he used the means of Capricorn fish to keep you here, and it is also a great merit to resist the typhoon when the time comes." ”

Lu Zheng smiled and said, "The Tibetan mage is not a monk, he should be a lama. But there seems to be some truth to what you're saying. The teachings of Buddhism, the purification of all sentient beings, may not be the case. ”

The owl interjected: "Damn, this old lama is a thief, and his calculations are too long-term." Little brother, whether he is acting in good faith or in bad faith, you must always be on guard. ”

"I know. Lu Zheng nodded, the mage's intentions were still unclear, and he couldn't guess it. It seems that I can only find an opportunity to inquire about the situation with Li Ze.

Resisting the typhoon is a good thing for the people, and for Lu Zheng himself, it is also a good opportunity to accumulate the power of faith. The Vortex Treasure Tree can also produce a few more dragons.

It was decided to fight the typhoon, and could only temporarily stay in the shallows of Taiwan Island for two days. Fortunately, there are many types of corals in the shallows of Taiwan Island, and I have not collected them all after a busy day today.

With Lu Zheng's current cultivation, it doesn't matter if he doesn't rest at night. After resting in the Dragon Palace for a while, he took the auspicious and owl to enjoy a meal of sacrifices offered by the people in the Listening Pavilion, and then went out to sea again to look for corals.

The next morning, Lu Zheng suddenly sensed that the heavy water vapor began to gather nearby, and when he came out of a reef beach, he was surprised to find that the sky was covered with a gray curtain, the sky was heavy and oppressive, the sea surface was a long color, covering the bleak sea water, and the distant mountain shadows and the howling sea breeze, the air was full of wet water vapor, and the sky and the sea were gloomy as far as the eye could see.

As expected, heavy rains are coming.

By noon, the sky was even more gloomy. Like a black iron cage under a hood, it envelops all sides in darkness.

The sea breeze rose suddenly, and the raindrops like popping beans poured down on the head and face. From beginning to end, not even a single lightning bolt appeared. Rain arrows obscured the view. Even Kenting in the distance can't see clearly.

Typhoons are accompanied by heavy rain. It seems that what Li Ze said is indeed true, and the typhoon is likely to be on its way to Kenting.

After thinking about it, Lu Zheng took out his mobile phone from his pocket. When I was under the sea, my phone was always stored in the Dragon Palace. There is no signal. As soon as I took it out, I received several messages.

Two of them were sent to him by Lin Xinmiao, telling him that the weather in the south was not very good in the past two days, and instructing him to wear more clothes and drink more hot water to prevent colds.

Jing Jing and her mother also sent a message each, which had a similar meaning to what Lin Xinmiao said.

The last two were sent from an unfamiliar number, and the words were very polite.

"Mr. Lu, I'm Li Ze. I called you this morning, but I haven't been able to get through. I don't know if Mr. Lu is in trouble. Please call us back immediately upon receiving a message. ”

"Mr. Lu. My hunch came true. After Typhoon Duke hit the Philippines, the eye of the storm did not disappear, and it coalesced again, forming a strong typhoon and moving towards Hainan. It is expected that it will affect the Kenting area this afternoon, and an orange warning for typhoons has been issued on Taiwan Island. If you see this message, please be sure to leave the Kenting area as soon as possible in case of accidents. ”

Waving his hand to disperse the torrential rain around him, Lu Zheng thought about it. I decided to call Li Ze back, ask about his condition, and if I have time, I can meet and talk.

The phone just dialed. Lu Zheng heard a noisy exclamation on the phone.

Li Ze's somewhat impatient voice came: "Hey, hey, is it Mr. Lu? Can you hear me? Have you left Ken......ting now?"

Before the rest of the words could be finished, another scream sounded that was even worse than before.

"Brother Li, you're in a mess over there. Where are you?" Lu Zheng sensed that something was not quite right, those noisy screams, as if there were many people crowded into a small space. Very confusing.

"Hey, what are you talking about? I can't hear clearly...... Li Ze shouted loudly: "Mr. Lu, haven't you left Kenting yet?" I'm on the bus now, and the phone call I gave you in the morning didn't get through. My companions and I are now taking a bus along Suhua Highway to leave Kenting. Hey, hey, hey......"

"Ah...... It's scary. Li Ze, Li Ze, we're going to be fine, right?"

It was really unclear on the phone, and when he heard that he was leaving Kenting, Lu Zheng was slightly relieved and said loudly: "You don't have to worry about me." When your side settles down, we'll talk. ”

"Hey?...... Xiaoyan. Don't be afraid, it's going to be fine...... Mr. Lu, I'll hang up first. It's too messy here, I'll call you when I get back to the hotel. ”

Doodoo ......

The phone hangs up.

Lu Zheng held his mobile phone, his eyes looked at the mountains in the rain, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

has the same feeling as Lu Zheng, as well as Li Ze himself. After he was rescued by the rescue team last night, he did not blame a few companions, but quickly inquired about the information of Duke Typhoon.

Until the wee hours of the morning, he stayed in front of the computer, constantly refreshing the latest news. It wasn't until he saw that the eye of the storm did not disappear after the Duke of Typhoon hit the Philippines that he was sure that his premonition was good.

In the morning, I started to pack my things and prepare to leave the Kenting area. He also did not forget to send a warning message to Lu Zheng, a life-saving benefactor. Later, the Taiwan authorities issued a typhoon warning, and the entire Kenting area began to operate, and tourists booked tickets to prepare to leave.

At noon, they caught a bus and prepared to go to Hualien County, where they transferred to Kaohsiung and took a plane out of Taiwan Island. In his hurry, he did not investigate the route of the bus in detail.

It wasn't until two hours after getting on the bus and driving on Suhua Highway that he began to feel bad.

Suhua Highway, a famous landscape highway on Taiwan Island, with a total length of 118 kilometers, is famous because it is basically built near the sea, with mountain cliffs on one side and the Pacific Ocean on the other.

The most famous scenic spot is the Qingshui Cliff, which is very dangerous and the scenery is also the most strange, with Qingshui Mountain at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters on one side and the surging Pacific Ocean on the other.

After driving onto Suhua Highway, Li Ze's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably. Because of the Suhua Highway, in addition to the excellent landscape, it also has a nickname, called the Death Highway.

In the eleven years from 97 to 08, 1,046 people died and nearly 14,000 were injured in traffic accidents on the Suhua Highway. From 02 to 09, there were more than 200 interruptions caused by large and small landslides alone.

Most of the mountains along the Suhua Highway are earth and rock structures, which can easily cause landslides or landslides. Now that heavy rains are coming, the probability of landslides and mudslides has skyrocketed.

If Li Ze was given another chance to choose, he would rather stay in Kenting than embark on this road of death. But there are a lot of tourists returning today, and Tian Fei, who is in charge of buying tickets, doesn't know the name of Suhua Highway, and because Li Ze almost drowned, he has already become a frightened bird, and he just wants to leave Taiwan Island early, and he doesn't pay attention.

And the Suhua Highway is indeed the closest route to Kaohsiung.

Sitting with Li Ze was the absolute murder weapon that the owl was staring at in the sea, his chest was indeed choppy, his appearance was upright, and his skin was fair, but his face was white, his eyes were full of horror, and he was clutching Li Ze's arm.

"Ze, we'll be fine. ”

She seemed to ask and comfort herself, but her eyes were staring ahead. The scream in the car just now was because of the debris rolling down from the mountain on the first floor of the highway and smashing on the roof of the car.

Li Ze calmed down and comforted her: "Don't worry, I have a hunch that it will be fine this time." It's going to be fine. ”

Crunch......

There was a terrible braking sound, and the passenger door screamed again. Tian Fei, who was sitting behind Li Ze, stood up suddenly, pointed ahead with a frightened face, and said, ", a big stone fell in front." (To be continued.) )
