DAY 73 Entering the city center
I nodded, "Well, I'll go out with my brother to look for him, but in 24 hours, we'll go back to the hall of this building and meet you, okay?" β
Uncle and Dean Lu nodded in agreement. It's 7 a.m., which is before 7 a.m., and we're all going to have to assemble in the hall.
After that, I glanced at the secret passages above me with a complicated expression, and pulled my brother in the direction of the exit.
According to Xiaomo's previous statement, after we went out of the secret passage, we went upstairs and found the skylight in the attic on the top floor, where the glass had already been smashed, and my brother and I carefully climbed out of it and stepped on the outside window edge.
"Be careful, Sister Xiaomo also said before that it is more slippery to have moss here." My brother reached out in front of me to help me, and reminded me thoughtfully by the way.
"Oh." I nodded reflexively, but my mind was still thinking about various things, and I slipped under my feet without noticing.
My brother hurriedly grabbed me with all his strength and frowned fiercely: "Didn't you tell you to pay attention!" β
My eyes widened in fright, and I couldn't stop stroking my violently heaving chest: "I'm just coming back to my senses now...... Wow, it's so high and dangerous here, fortunately you pulled me, it turns out that my mother said that it would be useful to give me a younger brother. β
My brother gave me a disgruntled look, pulled me and continued to walk cautiously forward.
Under the eaves in front of us was a small balcony, and when we jumped on the balcony carefully, we found a drain pipe next to it, so we grabbed the drain pipe and slid down in turn.
On the right-hand side is the main entrance of the building, which is called a splendid and grand. However, we are not in the mood to appreciate it now, and my younger brother pointed to a row of cars not far away, and said suspiciously: "Why is there so many cars parked in this kind of place, when there are no people anymore?" "And most of them are famous brands. Isn't this looking for someone to rob?
"I guess it's specially prepared for Xiaomo, right? In case Xiaomo wants to enter F City from here on a whim, it will be difficult to do it without transportation, right? "After all, this is still a part of the border, and it is still far from the city center...... There is nothing to see for many kilometers but woods and meadows, and there are even a few mountain peaks in the distance.
I shook my head: "No, Xiaomo is here to keep it a secret from his family, right?" There's no way her uncle would allow her to play like this without permission, so isn't it too conspicuous for her to place a car here? And even if it's for Xiaomo, one is enough, why do you prepare so much? β¦β¦β
The younger brother shrugged indifferently: "No matter, just sit on it?" Anyway, we need a car now, isn't it just convenient for us? Besides, it's impossible to solve all the puzzles in this world one by one. β
I flattened my mouth and stared at the cars and tilted my head: "You're not afraid of fraud?" β
The younger brother shook his head: "'Mom and Dad' seem to have verified the safety for us." You see there are two rows of wheel prints next to the last car on the right, which should be proof that they have driven one away, right? β
"Huh? So where did they get the key? My eyes widened, "And it doesn't have to be that they drove away...... Maybe someone drove away before? β
"If you get closer, won't you know?" My brother said, pulling me towards the car.
When we got closer, we were shocked to find that all the car keys were well inserted into the car key holes.
"The trench is inhumane, it's too cruel, how big is this heart, and no one has ever found out about it? Just drive away and send one. I sighed.
My brother pointed to a certain place and suddenly called me, "Sister, come and see this." β
I hurriedly ran over and found my younger brother standing in front of the two rows of wheel prints, pointing to the grass under the wheels and saying, "You see, the grass rolled under the wheels is all newly grown, which proves that this car was just driven away not long ago, and it is very likely that it is 'Mom and Dad'." β
I nodded, "Okay, then we'll just follow this seal." Hurry up and get in the car. β
After reaching a consensus, we got on the Lamborghini next to the car print and drove in the direction where the wheel print extended.
The start of the drive was very smooth, and we talked from time to time as we drove and guessed where Mom and Dad wanted to go. But after driving into a small forest, because of the presence of fallen leaves, the wheel marks became more and more difficult to identify, and several times I almost lost the traces of "Mom and Dad", and I had to staggered my brother and I to get out of the car and squat on the ground to check the specific direction of the tires.
We walked around and searched, and finally drove away from the grove, only to be stunned to find that the final direction of the wheel print was a highway that had been knocked off the railing.
But...... There's no way to leave tire prints on the highway...... We also can't tell when Mom and Dad got off the highway.
The only thing you can do is to drive along the highway as soon as possible to see if you can catch up with them - although with the time difference of the previous "walk and check" before, it is simply impossible to catch up with them again at this time......
As soon as the younger brother stepped on the accelerator, he suddenly increased the speed of the car to more than 200 miles.
It reminds me of the thrilling experience I experienced on the night I escaped from City D.
Before I could utter a scream, my brother suddenly swerved and slammed me against the doorβand suddenly he lost his temper at all, staring straight ahead with wide eyes and a pale face, praying that he would get out of the car alive.
Just drove all the way forward, but fortunately there was no car on the highway at the moment, otherwise there would have been something big.
Less than twenty minutes later, we reached the first high-speed exit.
Look at the name...... It should be not far from the center of F City.
"Get out of here, it feels like 'Mom and Dad' must be heading to the city center." The younger brother hit the steering wheel and said firmly.
I couldn't make any sound other than nodding my head.
In this way, I got out of the highway without saying a word, and the buildings around me gradually increased, but the streets were still as bleak as expected.
"Hey...... It seems that it is even more difficult to find 'Mom and Dad' than to climb to the sky. The younger brother scratched his head in annoyance - after all, F City is very large, and it is one of the central cities in the north.
My lips trembled, and it took me a long time to find my voice: "...... Let's slow down first...... It's downtown now...... The road is not so wide......"
"Oh." The younger brother nodded, deliberately made a big "S" turn, and then parked the car firmly on the side of the road.
My screams literally topped the roof of my car.
After parking, his first reaction was to beat his younger brother, but he got out of the car and fled early: "You don't have a backpack, let's go to the supermarket to replenish the supplies first." β
I hated it so much that my teeth itched, but I had no choice but to follow the car.
