Chapter 1206 - 1136: A Red Line
Wang Chengxue and Cao Yangming walked one behind the other in the dim forest, each bowing their heads as they watched the road, lacking any spirit for conversation.
It was noon at this time, but deep within Liangming Mountain, layers upon layers of plants did all they could to block the sunlight outside. The light that could penetrate was minimal, making visibility in the forest even lower than that of a city at dusk.
The ground beneath their feet was no longer the hard and familiar surface to humans but was soft, capable of reaching over their ankles with humus. This was also the main reason they dared not venture deeper into the forest.
On another note, it was because Wang Chengxue had some hiking experience and had traversed Liangming Mountain routes, so they were able to come this far.
Despite this, Cao Yangming regretted immensely and muttered again, "Should we just go out, Liangming Mountain has a road that passes through the middle, we have taken this road before. We find a more secluded stretch of road, quietly hitch a ride, and we’d be out."
"It’s not that easy; we escaped with guns. These kinds of road sections definitely have checkpoints," Wang Chengxue walked forward with his head down.
Cao Yangming didn’t have any hiking experience; he had already reached the point of collapse and said, "A road is so long, can they block all of it?"
"They block the head and the tail of the road, and you’ve got no way out."
"We get off the car a bit earlier, and then walk into the mountain; won’t they find it harder to track us?"
"The driver? Let him go, and he’ll definitely report us; kill him, and there’s a corpse in the car, how do you handle that? We’ll definitely be discovered. At that point, we might have just a few hours lead on the police, we won’t be able to escape, not better than now."
