Chapter 267 - 266 Ambush
They exited from Highway 15 and entered a local road.
Once again, Boer had exposed their location, and it was best not to have any contact with anyone at this time. It would be preferable to circle the highway a few more times, but the car was running out of fuel. Now Yang Yi and his group were in the desert, unsure how far they would have to travel before finding the next fuel stop. Therefore, they could only refill their tank at the first gas station after leaving the highway, where they also took the opportunity to buy some food and water.
The road ran through the desert, where traffic was sparse, and although the road wasn’t very wide, its condition wasn’t too bad. However, driving was exhausting because the car Yang Yi had stolen was old, suffering from a typical issue of American old cars where the steering wheel was loose and tended to veer off course. If he didn’t constantly adjust the steering wheel, the car would soon wander off the road, so Yang Yi had to keep twisting the steering wheel, controlling its direction at all times.
Driving such a car was very tiring indeed.
Zhang Yong hadn’t slept, while Xiao Ran and Boer had both dozed off. When Yang Yi felt truly tired, he stopped the car on the side of the road and opened the rear door to wake up Boer, who was asleep in the backseat.
Boer opened his eyes and asked with a frightened expression, "What’s going on? Why have we stopped?"
"You drive. I’m a bit tired," Yang Yi said.
Boer replied in astonishment, "Me drive? No, I can’t..."
Yang Yi said coldly, "All three of us need to protect you, and right now you’re of no use at all. Do you want us to waste our precious energy on driving?"
Boer was stunned for a moment, then he quickly said, "Okay, I’ll drive. You take a rest."
Yang Yi moved to the backseat, and his head had barely touched the pillow when he fell straight asleep.
