Zei drove for nearly two hours, but they still hadn't found any trace of another vehicle anywhere around them. The area was far too rural, with thick vegetation stretching along both sides of the road and hardly a house in sight. There wasn't even a proper road in some places, just a narrow, overgrown path cutting through the forest.
He rolled down his window and leaned slightly toward it, squinting as he searched the surroundings. The wind rushed into the car, carrying the damp, earthy smell of the forest, but there was still no sign of anything useful.
Que Yue, who was sitting beside him, suddenly leaned forward in his seat and narrowed his eyes at something ahead.
"Do you see that up ahead? I think I see a jeep..."
Zei immediately looked in the direction he was pointing. A few meters farther down the road, partially hidden beneath the bushes, was indeed a jeep.
