The Urban Medical Martial Immortal

659: Chapter 655 Vajra Ridge Villa 659: Chapter 655 Vajra Ridge Villa Xiangjiang Province, on an unknown wilderness along National Highway 207.

Lin Tian boarded the SUV of the married couple, Lv Wenbing and Zhou Zhiyao.

As the sun set in the west, over the blood-red barren hills, the silhouette of the SUV and the two people still outside stretched out long and vast.

“Let’s take a detour and give him a ride along the way.

Poor kid!

We can reach Vajra Ridge anyway, and we have enough time.

It doesn’t hurt to go a bit out of our way!”

Outside, Zhou Zhiyao, after closing the car door, glanced at Lin Tian who had taken a seat in the back and turned to Lv Wenbing.

“It’s up to you!”

Lv Wenbing smiled and nodded in agreement.

After both got into the car, Lv Wenbing started the vehicle and drove onto National Highway 207.

However,

when the car started, Lin Tian distinctly felt the car was extremely heavy, as if there was a large load in the back, making even this powerful SUV strain a bit.

His senses and hearing were incredibly sharp; the SUV clearly crushed many stones into powder on the sandy road.

What was in the back?

Lin Tian was full of curiosity.

Yet, he didn’t delve deeper.

The conversation between the couple before boarding the car was crystal clear to him.

The fact that they would take a longer route for a stranger like him showed that Lv Wenbing and Zhou Zhiyao were decent, kind-hearted people.

This was Lin Tian’s initial impression and feeling towards the couple, and he felt somewhat grateful and grew fond of them.

Lv Wenbing was a rather silent person, driving quietly.

Zhou Zhiyao, on the other hand, was more talkative.

As the SUV traveled along the national highway through the blood-colored dusk of the barren hills, Zhou later turned to glance at the setting sun in the distance, then threw a small bag of bread and a bottle of mineral water to Lin Tian.

“Are you hungry?

Have some food first!”

Zhou Zhiyao glanced at the silently sitting Lin Tian, then smiled sweetly and asked, “Little brother Lin Tian, where are you from?”

“Thank you!”

Lin Tian took the items, thanking her briefly before taking a symbolic sip of the water.

He then replied, “Sister Zhou, I’m from Guangnan Bin City, but I’ve been studying in Guixi Province’s Liiu Yuan City.

This summer holiday, I was touring with classmates, and I was… tricked into coming here!”

“Oh, you poor child!

So, if you reach the city, will you take a bus back home?

Wait till tomorrow morning, and Sister Zhou will give you the fare!”

Zhou Zhiyao showed an expression of sympathy, sighed, and said, “In the future, you mustn’t be too trusting of others, even if you know them.

Unless you’re sure of the situation, don’t carelessly go out with others!”

Hearing this, Lin Tian internally smiled wryly, feeling somewhat helpless.

Yet, he could see that Zhou Zhiyao was sincerely concerned, which was why she spoke those words.

After all, she didn’t know the circumstances, and Lin Tian couldn’t find a better reason to explain why he was there.

“Thank you, I will remember that!”

Lin Tian thanked her earnestly, then asked, “Sister Zhou, where are you from?

Your accent doesn’t sound northern; it sounds more like Xiangjiang Province.

But why did you come from the north?”

This question visibly made Lv Wenbing, who was driving, stiffen slightly.

He looked up briefly at the rearview mirror and glanced at Lin Tian, frowning slightly.

Zhou Zhiyao’s eyebrows also shot up sharply, and her smile momentarily faltered.

However, her reaction lasted only a moment before she glanced at Lv Wenbing and then smiled as she replied, “We’re from Xiangjiang Province, from the city of Cold Water River in the southwest.

This time we went north out of province to visit relatives and buy some stuff, so we took the long road.

We’ve been traveling all day, and we just took a short rest by the road!”

“Lucky I met you guys, otherwise I wouldn’t know how to get back!”

Lin Tian nodded and smiled in response.

Zhou Zhiyao looked out at the sky and said to Lin Tian, “We won’t be able to reach Cold Water River City directly tonight, and it’s not safe to travel at night, so we have to spend the night in the car.

Will you be able to endure it?

Here’s a blanket; it gets a bit chilly at night outside in these barren hills and wild ridges.

Use it to cover yourself!”

“Thank you, Sister Zhou!”

Lin Tian accepted the blanket thrown by Zhou Zhiyao and thanked her.

He chatted idly with Zhou Zhiyao for a long while, and night quickly fell.

According to Zhou Zhiyao, this place was called the Star Dipping Wilderness, a desert mountain area in the northern part of Cold Water River City, with dozens of miles barren and uninhabited.

Only the National Highway 207 ran through it.

Across the desolate mountains, night had fallen, and darkness swept in, making it impossible to see even a hand in front of one’s face outside.

The wind raced through the night, crossing over the desolate hills and emitting terrifying howls.

On the highway, there was only one off-road vehicle piercing the darkness, moving slowly forward.

Before long,

Wen Bing had found a relatively hidden and safe spot, stopped the car, and prepared to spend the night there.

So as not to arouse suspicion from Wen Bing and Zhou Zhiyao, Lin Tian simply covered himself with a blanket and lay down in the spacious back seat of the off-road vehicle, ready to sleep.

After leaving the antique original stone field by Muaix Lake in Liiu Yuan City, he hadn’t really had any rest.

Even though his cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage and he wouldn’t have any problems even if he didn’t sleep for a month,

the moment he lay down, an inexplicable weariness engulfed him, and soon he was deep asleep.

However,

in the middle of the night,

Lin Tian heard a soft rustling sound, which made him open his eyes and wake up.

But he didn’t get up; he just quietly listened to the voices coming from outside the car.

Wen Bing and Zhou Zhiyao had already woken up and were standing outside the car.

“Is he still asleep?”

Outside, Wen Bing’s voice sounded, obviously referring to Lin Tian.

“Don’t worry, the kid walked all the way here, he must be exhausted.

He’s sleeping very deeply!”

Zhou Zhiyao spoke in a low voice, replying, “Have you communicated well with those guys?”

This time, Wen Bing did not immediately answer; he turned and walked to the car’s trunk, carefully opening it.

Click~~~

The sound of mechanical collisions followed.

Inside the car, Lin Tian raised his eyebrows, his Divine Sense swept out, and his face showed shock.

Wen Bing and Zhou Zhiyao had taken several gun-like weapons from the trunk and hid them on their persons, even loading them, and they also had several magazines with them.

Moreover, inside the trunk, Lin Tian saw a leather case full of explosives of varying degrees.

“Who are these people?

What are they going to do?”

A serious expression formed on Lin Tian’s face, thinking whether he should get up and leave the car.

If the things in the trunk suddenly exploded, he wouldn’t die, but he would be in a terrible mess.

However, Wen Bing and Zhou Zhiyao did not know that Lin Tian had woken up.

Wen Bing, ready with his weapons, looked up and said, “Qin Deng, Lai Zixiong, Geng Jianmian, and others have all agreed, and Wuzi from Xiang Tonghe’s group will also come.

It should be no problem!”

“Can we really rely on Qin Deng and others?

Moreover, since Wuzi has come, Elder Xiang’s missing granddaughter is very likely in Zheng Yunqiu’s hands!”

Zhou Zhiyao clenched her fists, her expression grave.

Wen Bing nodded affirmatively, solemnly saying, “Don’t worry, they are brothers who have been through life and death for many years.

He’s here to help this time!

As for Elder Xiang’s granddaughter…

if it turns out to be true, we’ll save her!”

“This time, Zheng Yunqiu must not have a place to be buried!

Our daughter…”

At the end, Zhou Zhiyao’s eyes reddened, her face filled with sorrow.

Standing beside her, Wen Bing’s expression was cold and murderous, he sighed, then embraced Zhou Zhiyao, “Don’t worry, we will avenge our daughter this time.

Zheng Yunqiu must die!”

After a long while, the two of them returned to the car.

As dawn approached, Wen Bing restarted the car.

Two hours later,

The Golden Crow arose from the horizon, casting soft morning light.

The off-road vehicle stopped on a highway, and several kilometers away from the roadside, one could vaguely see a large barren mountain.

The mountain was huge, with no vegetation on it, and the patterns on its surface formed bizarre, straight cliffs that glittered with golden light in the sun like the towers in Dubai.

And at the foot of that barren mountain, there was a sprawling villa compound nestled among the trees.

In the vast Star Dipping Wilderness, the presence of such villas was truly bizarre!

The vehicle stopped on a secondary road connecting to Highway 207; Zhou Zhiyao turned around, handed Lin Tian a stack of money, smiled, and said, “Young brother Lin Tian, this is the territory of Vajra Ridge.

You probably saw the mountain in the distance.

That’s our destination!

We can’t take you to Cold Water River City, so you’ll have to get off here.

Though it’s occasional, there might be some vehicles passing by, or at worst, you can walk about ten kilometers to reach the city.

Sorry!”
