Corpse Recovery Diver

Chapter 1563 285_8

Zhao Yi: "Honestly, don't you find it boring to go to school with that brain of yours?"Li Zhiyuan: "Not at all. Every class is interesting."

Zhao Yi was somewhat skeptical: "Has university gotten that advanced nowadays?"

"Mm."

Zhao Yi didn't know that Li Zhiyuan had a copy of the school's course schedule, picking classes he was interested in every day, so naturally, it would be interesting.

Anyway, he didn't have to worry about failing courses or even taking final exams.

That night, the bus entered the service area, took a brief rest, and then continued on its way without much delay.

Zhao Yi returned to the car, started it again, and followed along.

Li Zhiyuan distributed the steamed buns Zhao Yi had bought to the companions in the back compartment, along with several large packages of pickled vegetables, printed with the advertising slogan: China's home of pickled vegetables — Fuling.

Zhao Yi: "I saw the people in the front car buying them too, so I did the same. How does it taste?"

Li Zhiyuan: "Delicious."

The young man, munching on steamed buns with pickled vegetables, took out a compass, whose pointer pointed diagonally to the front, slightly trembling.

"Straight ahead, there might be a problem." After calculating, the young man also reported the distance.

Zhao Yi: "That's likely the next service area."

Logically, after just stopping at one service area, there was no need to stop again. However, the bus ahead still drove into and stopped.

When the door opened, Zheng Hua and a few juniors rushed to the service area restroom with rolls of toilet paper.

Mr. Zhai didn't get off the bus.

Li Zhiyuan: "Either someone going to the restroom encountered a problem and then mingled with the team, or it's a feint, something will take this chance to target Mr. Zhai in the bus."

Zhao Yi: "I think so too, so we need to act separately now. I'll protect Mr. Zhai, Brother Xiao Yuan, you lead people to the restroom."

"You're in the best shape now, you should go to the restroom."

"Haha."

Zhao Yi didn't argue and grabbed a roll of paper, got off the car, and ran to the restroom.

Li Zhiyuan got off the car, walked onto the front bus.

Mr. Zhai sat alone in the seat, holding a flashlight, watching a paper on his leg.

It wasn't until Li Zhiyuan walked up to him that Mr. Zhai reacted.

"Xiao Yuan, why don't you stay on the bus with us? We're all going to Fengdu anyway."

"No, I'll stay in the truck. I fear my brother will tire from driving without company."

"That's thoughtful of you."

"They..."

"At the last service area, Zheng Hua bought some pretty fruit, said to be local specialties. They all ate them, except me. They seem to have upset their stomachs.

Look, they're over there."

Li Zhiyuan looked over; in the small bamboo basket, there were still a few pieces left. At first glance, they looked like peaches, the color extremely bright and full.

"Grandpa Zhai, these are Ha'er fruits; they shouldn't be eaten."

"Ha'er?" Mr. Zhai gave it some thought, then understood the dialect term, "That's fitting. Only Ha'er would spend money to buy these."

"There are lots of people selling these on Mountain City streets; locals don't buy them, only tourists do."

"You've been to Mountain City?"

"Yes, I went with my brother's truck; I've traveled to many places."

"Traveling a thousand miles is important, but you need a stable environment to study first. With enough knowledge of the world, traveling will be more than just sightseeing.

Take this blueprint Grandpa has for example, can you understand it? It's part of the landscape that most people can't appreciate."

The old man wanted to give an example and plant a seed in the child's mind, so he can have a bias when choosing an industry in the future.

As they neared Fengdu and were about to meet up with Mr. Luo and Brother Liangliang, Li Zhiyuan didn't need to hide anymore and pointed to a spot on the blueprint:

"Grandpa Zhai, this marking is wrong."

Mr. Zhai lowered his head to look, then frowned: "This Zhu Qiang, so careless."

Then Mr. Zhai seemed to realize something, raising his head to look at the boy in front of him with puzzled eyes.

"Xiao Yuan, can you read this blueprint?"

"Mm."

"How did you..."

Before the question was finished, there was a "boom!" from outside.

Soon, someone shouted:

"The restroom collapsed! The restroom collapsed!"

Thanks to the current service area's inadequate and substandard construction, the restroom was indeed poorly built. Therefore, there was no worry of the bricks and tiles above crashing down, but the problem was... the bottom also collapsed.

Thus, the rescue effort wasn't too difficult but truly annoying.

The staff at the service area, along with helpful drivers, were rescuing whilst retching, pulling the unlucky ones who had marinated below, one after another.

Once all were pulled out, a few more people used long poles to stir around inside, confirming no one was left behind.

Zheng Hua, Zhu Qiang, and their group were all inside.

Seeing they were all awake and unhurt, Mr. Zhai felt both amused and annoyed.

In the deep night amidst the people, Lin Shuyou was excitedly counting heads, hoping to see the Three-eyed figure.

Unfortunately, Zhao Yi wasn't among them.

A child's voice rang out: "He's in the west, walk down, there's ghost energy there."

Lin Shuyou walked over, bending his body, sliding down the slope, where a mountain stream emerged again.

Ah You initially thought the Three-eyed was secretly cleaning himself here. Who knew Zhao Yi was squatting by the stream, washing a long, black thing, like strips of seaweed.

"Perfect timing, help me wash this well; it's so smelly."

"I don't want to."

"It's not your sister-in-law, what do you mean 'don't'?"

"Three-eyed, you..."

"Wash quickly, I'm going to smoke a cigarette, that smell almost killed me."

Lin Shuyou had no choice but to squat over and start washing it, the thing greasy and sticky to the touch, filled with ghost energy.
