Chapter 667 - 317 On the Road_2
Lin Wu thought for a moment, "That makes sense." The old hag was getting better at talking. Or maybe she was always articulate, just too lazy to show it.
The two followed each other closely and reached near Left County. After Maya confirmed the route, she took the lead and spurred her horse into a wild gallop, with Lin Wu steering Phantom to follow closely behind. Previously Wai had been lying on Lin Wu’s back, looking forward at the scenery, but now he jumped to the front, standing on the horseback and vigilantly surveying the surroundings. Every land of zombies that Phantom passed through made him exceedingly alert, waiting only for his master’s command to go and fight the zombies.
Both horses were good steeds, and they continuously trotted to Round City Road, through which they left Left County heading towards Southward Town. Just as they entered Southward Town’s territory, Maya and Lin Wu saw a highway 20 kilometers away. Besides discovering the highway, both of them also encountered local players from Southward Town, who were very surprised to see Lin Ma and expressed a strong desire to invite Lin Ma for tea.
Lin Wu saw the other party’s enthusiastic attitude and intended to agree, but Maya coldly declined, "Sorry, we still have matters to attend to, thank you." She had no interest in spending a lot of time getting to know a few strangers just for a cup of tea.
Lin Wu sheepishly apologized and followed Maya as they left. He could not judge whether the others were good or evil, but he thought that having a cup of tea would have been fine. However, Maya was in a hurry; right now, she just wanted to know if the road was Highway 99.
The two horses climbed a hill, startled the wild horses on the slope that followed them in a frenzied sprint, but were quickly left behind by Sandstorm and Phantom. Crossing a stream, they reached the highway from a decrepit ranch’s left-hand road.
Slowing down their horses, they approached a road sign and saw that it was labeled Highway 88. But Maya was not disappointed because the sign also stated that Fantasy City was 1300 kilometers away from here.
Lin Wu didn’t understand, "What about Fantasy City?"
Maya knew Lin Wu’s brain couldn’t store too much information he considered useless and explained, "Highway 99’s signs have two landmarks. One is called Leimeng Town, 250 kilometers from the Sawmill, which is an Army Air Force base. The other is called Fantasy City, 750 kilometers from the Sawmill."
Maya continued, "We can reach Fantasy City first, then return to Left County, totaling approximately 2000 kilometers. Under Full Status, Sandstorm and Phantom can travel about 150 kilometers per day. It will take us roughly 12 days to get back to Left County."
Maya went on, "For greater caution and to take care of the horses’ condition, we’ll plan in three-day increments. Travel 100 kilometers the first day and camp at night. Go another 100 kilometers the second day and pitch a tent in the afternoon. Rest on the third day. In three days we can travel 200 kilometers, and in 10 sets of three days we should be back in Left County."
