Chapter 62: The Companion on the Journey
Barry looked for a few topics, but seeing that he couldn't arouse Li Mo's interest, he shrugged his shoulders helplessly and sat down at the computer desk to work.
The room fell silent, except for the ticking of the second hand of the clock on the wall and the rustle of the tip of a Barry pen across the paper.
Li Mo took a sip of coffee in a daze, and he was guessing what kind of person his companion on the road would be.
It's better not to be a melancholy cultural person, then the journey will become extra dull.
If you're more nosy, it's going to be hell...
When the scheduled time was approaching, knocks on the door rang one after another, and the same group of people who signed up with Li Mo came to the office one after another.
Because of the unfamiliarity, they just nodded to each other.
βOKοΌβ Barry clapped his hands and made a humorous expression, "I'll introduce you to the companions of this car trip." β
The first is a pair of good friends from Queens, ready for a high school graduation trip.
Seth, who has a body like a curly hair and a fat aunt, stretches the shirt out of the silhouette. Well, he's a man, and his eyes are a little obscene.
Evan, who often describes his bamboo-like figure, is talking about him, his clothes don't fit no matter how he looks, he wears a pair of glasses, and he is a typical school geek.
Then there is Walter, a middle-aged white-collar worker working in Manhattan, who wears a dull suit and speaks a little stiffly even when he travels.
Finally, there is a beautiful writer, Elizabeth, what a wonderful name, blonde hair, and a big mouth that Americans admire the most. The model's slender figure is dressed in a loose white casual shirt and legging jeans. is two years older than Li Mo.
As for Li Mo, he changed into an ordinary denim suit, wore sunglasses, and claimed to be Lao Wang from Chinatown, an ordinary shopkeeper.
Seeing these so-called companions, Li Mo secretly pouted, okay, a boring white-collar worker, two high school idiots, and an older milf who couldn't arouse his sexual interest.
He could already imagine how boring it would be.
It was decided that in two days, they would be left behind and go on the road alone.
Barry was still talking about the precautions of the journey, and after giving each person a travel map, he clapped his hands and shouted excitedly: "Okay, let's go, let's start your dream journey on Route 66!" β
Everyone stared at him expressionlessly, and then Elizabeth and white-collar Walter saw Barry's predicament and squeezed an ugly smile in cooperation.
Barry was a little frustrated, "Okay, hit the road." β
The group walked out of the building and into the parking lot, where Elizabeth and Walter were both driving ordinary home Volvos, one red and one silver.
As for the two high school students, they looked like second-hand cars that they got out of nowhere, and I hope they don't lie down halfway.
After everyone set the order, they started the car and drove out of the parking lot.
After a traffic jam, the embarrassed convoy slowly drove out of New York. They first headed to Chicago, Illinois, where the entrance to Route 66 was located.
After the convoy drove onto the spacious highway, Li Mo flipped out a CD of guns and roses and listened to it boringly.
In fact, he chose to go on a car trip at this time, and he also had some small plans of his own.
Strength has been stagnant for some time.
The metal in his hand can no longer meet the evolutionary needs of the vampire vine, and the current limit is: 18 ten-meter-long tentacles, the hardness of aviation metal.
Thunder sledgehammer seems to be about to fall from the sky.
If I'm not mistaken, it should be in New Mexico, where the local residents also hold a hammer drawing competition, and the silver iron man Li Moke who followed him has been thinking about it for a long time.
That thing must be unusual, and it might help the evolution of the vampire vine.
Hope all the best...
β¦
In the convoy, Walter, a middle-aged white-collar worker, was calling his mother, "Yes, mother, I'm out of New York, I'll pay attention to safety." β
"The most important rule, don't get distracted!" A stern voice came from the other end of the line.
"I'll try to avoid it." Walter shrugged his shoulders and said, and then, walking in a trance.
Like most people, he has an ordinary life of home and company, and also has the same problems as many people...... Wandering daydreaming.
And he is a little more serious, when he sees a beautiful woman, he will fantasize about a hero saving beauty, when he is reprimanded by his boss, he will fantasize about beating his boss, and when he watches a movie, he will fantasize about himself as the protagonist.
He is so engaged that he often wanders, misses the bus, delays work, and only dares to fantasize and dare not chase the woman he likes...
Gradually, he lost friends, his work did not go well, he became more and more withdrawn, and his life was a mess.
He often fantasized about some adventure that could change all that, until one day he saw a parable.
There was a man who prayed every day to the statue of the temple god: God, let me win 5 million.
Day after day, year after year...
At last the god got impatient with him, and when the man prayed again, the idol came back to life, and grabbed him by the collar and shouted,
"You're going to buy a lottery ticket first!"
Walter decided to change all that, starting with a trip he missed as a young man.
β¦β¦
Elizabeth hung up the phone, holding the steering wheel with both hands, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
Her lawyer had just called, and her husband had agreed to sign the divorce agreement.
She has a life that all women envy, she has been beautiful and beautiful since she was a child, she is sought after by many men, she became a columnist after graduating from college, and she married a handsome man with a lot of gold.
But she is not happy, she has been working hard for the praise of others, she has been dieting to maintain her figure, and she has been changing herself for the man she loves...
Gradually, she began to become numb to everything, and every night even around the man she loved, she felt endless loneliness and fear.
Friends, relatives, husbands, everyone can't understand her and think she is hypocritical.
When she looks back on the first half of her life, she realizes that she has lived for others all her life.
She has lost faith in life.
So, Elizabeth gave up everything and embarked on a journey to find herself, in the eyes of everyone who looked at her neuropathy.
β¦β¦
On the back of a car.
Evan played a song and swayed to the rhythm of the music, while Fat Seth stared blankly ahead.
βshitοΌβ Fat Seth suddenly cursed.
"What's wrong?" Evan turned off the music and asked.
"It's not at all what I imagined!" Fat Seth was a little emotional, "Why aren't our companions hot girls, but three boring middle-aged people?" Well, that woman is good-looking, but she's not big! β
"I think it's okay." Evan shrugged, "My favorite thing to watch is on wwxxx sites. β
"But she won't let you shoot!" Seth yelled at Evan, "Didn't we go out on a car trip just to get a gunshot?" β
"Why do you have to shoot?" Evan said puzzledly, "The culture of Route 66 is also quite fascinating. β
"Go to TM culture, I'm going to shoot!" Fat Seth roared nervously.
"We have a serious lack of sexual experience."
"Do you want to go to college and still be despised by women?" Seth pinched his throat and picked up the woman's voice, "Oh, Evan, you're good, but you're too bad at doing things." β
"So what are we going to do?" Evan asked, scratching his head.
"Aren't there a lot of motels along the way?" Seth's eyes became firm, "Even if we find a prostitute, we have to fight all the way through and strive to become a master of sex!" β
"But we don't have enough budget." Evan said with some apprehension.
"I'm going to shoot when I go home bare-assed!" The fat man yelled.
Evan thought for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "We can write travel logs and submit them to websites to make money, as long as we write articles that are sour and literary, those women who love to dream will definitely pay to read them." β
"That's a good idea, but you know I'm not going to write that thing, and with the IQ of your Ivy League top students, we rely on those women for the money of prostitution." The fat man said excitedly.
"No problem!" Evan raised an eyebrow confidently.
β¦β¦
The car drove all the way, and when night fell when they arrived in Chicago, Li Mo and his party found a good motel to stay.
Li Mo was bored watching TV.
Walter pulled out a blank notebook and he was going to write down his experience.
Elizabeth is studying with an Italian dictionary, and her next stop is Italy.
Seth kept looking out and was frustrated that there were no prostitutes knocking on the door.
Evan took out his laptop...
β¦β¦
Evan's Route 66 Adventure:
The sound of the horn in my dream reminded me to embark on a journey to find the future, and I met three interesting companions along the way:
A handsome business executive,
A Hollywood beauty star with confused eyes,
And a mysterious Chinese man...
