Chapter 5: Lonely Old Alleys
I was so excited by this nickname that I looked back expectantly, only to see that the water in his hair had been dried, and he folded the towel aside, leaned against the long table, knocked his slender index finger on the marble tabletop, looked at me with dark eyes, and after a while, he seemed to be a little embarrassed to propose, "Can you drive me there?" ”
"Huh?" I was stunned, a little confused, and blurted out: "It's very fast to take a plane to City B, and it's only ...... half an hour" Why did I drive to ...... An Jianing was silent for a moment, then turned around to get the clothes I wanted to change, and gave me an incomparably powerful reason-
"I don't want to fly."
"What about magnetic levitation?"
"I don't want to sit."
"Where's the train?"
"I don't want to sit."
"Where's the electric bus?"
"I don't want to sit."
"Then I'll lend you the car, and you'll go by yourself?"
"No, you're with me."
"You don't need to drive it, you can operate it automatically"
"No, you're with me." I looked at him in surprise, and as he repeated the words, he paused, and seemed to blush slightly with suspicion on his cheeks.
It looks like it's very cute...... I immediately lost my temper with his son-in-law's fetish, obediently became a rickshaw driver, packed up my things, and asked Erbai to call the police if there was something at home, and followed him on the road.
Along the way, I couldn't help but think that he was probably the kind of person who couldn't be at ease with the autopilot system, so he didn't want to take planes and trains, and even cars only wanted to be driven by people.
But as I got farther and farther away from W City, I gradually realized. An Jianing may not be afraid of automatic driving, but security checks.
At first, I abandoned Erbaibai and volunteered to drive on my own, but after driving for an hour, night fell, and I felt a little tired.
As soon as I turned around, I saw him leaning on the back seat, with long legs and lazy eyebrows, and said to me, "Just leave it to Erbai." "I turned on the autopilot system in confusion, set the destination to City B, and after Erbaibai took over, I also moved to the back seat to sit with him.
It didn't take long to get to the highway transit security checkpoint, which stipulates that empty cars cannot be on the road, so even with the autopilot system on, someone must be in the driver's seat, just in case.
Although in recent years, in case the situation has not happened. But the rules are the rules, if you don't sit on the people, you won't let you pass, I still have to honestly change to the driver's seat and go through the scanning arch with the car.
Originally, it only took a moment, and there was no need to even park, but An Jianing got out of the car in advance, saying that he was going to the convenience store to buy something, but he didn't get into the car after shopping, and walked over from the manual inspection office next to him.
The manual inspector only checked the food in his hand, perfunctorily swept the place in his pocket with a primitive metal detector and let him go.
But I could tell he was nervous. What are you nervous about? I wanted to ask, but I didn't know how to say it.
In case I asked him why he didn't go through the security check with me in the car, and how convenient it was to save people from being bumped around, he replied to me
"I don't want to", what to do? With doubts in my heart, I passed through two security checkpoints in a row, and I silently observed him and found that it was all the same.
This also caused the speed to pass through the security checkpoint very slowly, and when we arrived in City B, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening.
Under An Jianing's command, I switched to manual driving, and made my way through the streets and alleys to find his destination.
This is a very dilapidated office building in the old town, which looks old, and there are old-fashioned air-conditioning exhaust fans hanging outside the building, and the white body has turned a creamy yellow, mixed with rust, and turns to make a dull humming sound.
The streets were narrow, just the width of a car, the lights were dim, and the whole street was empty, except for a few garbage piles piled up in a mess.
I listened to the monotonous old voice of the wheel, and I was a little scared when I thought of the murderer's cutter in the movie.
