C832 Nocturnal Area

Enter the mountain?!

Hearing Lin Bai's resolute and decisive words, Kang Ping's face revealed a hint of shock. His eyes were fixated on Lin Bai, as if he wanted to know whether Lin Bai was speaking on a whim, or if he had already made up his mind.

The roads in the province of Gui were mostly rugged and rugged, especially those roads leading to the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they had made ten bends or ten bends, and the areas affected by the insects' outbreak didn't even have roads built, so he could only rely on people to climb them. In his years in Gui Province, the number of times he had gone deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range for research could be counted on one hand.

"Young Master Lin, it's getting late. It won't be easy to go to the mountain road where the Insect Plague erupts. How about you stay in Green City for one more night? I'll send someone to escort you there tomorrow!" Seeing that there was no change in Lin Bai's expression, Kang Ping could only advise to dispel Lin Bai's thoughts. He did not believe that this hedonistic young master from Yan Jing could endure that kind of suffering.

He was well aware that Lin Bai's identity was special and that if he took the night road rashly and caused trouble on the mountain, he would be held responsible by then. Although Liu He and his family would not do anything to him on the surface since he was already a government official that had sealed off the border, he would still be in trouble in the dark. His future career as a government official would likely come to an end here.

"Governor Kang, I appreciate your kindness …" Lin Bai shook his head and said, "Don't worry, there won't be any problems. Disaster relief has already been delayed in Green City for so long, it's not a good thing to continue delaying! "

"Alright!" Seeing that Lin Bai had made up his mind, Kang Ping knew that there was no point in continuing to block him. He sighed and continued, "Then, I'll arrange for some vehicles and accompanying men to take you to the worm-stricken area!"

Although Kang Ping seemed to admire his reputation just now, he was quite decisive when it came to doing things. After a few calls, a private East Wind Warrior stopped in front of the hospital's main entrance.

"Elder Chu, I'll leave the matters here to you! "You and the other experts have to think hard and see if you can find a way to treat this bug. I think more people will be sent to the hospital next!" Before departing, Lin Bai looked at Chu Zhongtian and Scholar Gao and said with a deep voice. With such a huge matter at hand, the small conflicts from before had long been ignored by them.

Without wasting any more time, Lin Bai and the rest headed out of the building. Under the lead of two young warriors, they rode the carriages at lightning speed, heading towards the worm-infested area of the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range.

He was really afraid that this master of his would encounter something along the way. However, he had already told those two young warriors before he arrived that the route to the destination must be the most stable; no matter how much time it took, they must be safely delivered to their destination.

Deep within the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range? Zhao Jingting's eyes rolled around incessantly as a smile appeared on his face. Perhaps he wanted to make a trip to that place to see what ability the person who forced the Second Patriarch and Zhao Shiyan to return with was.

"..."

"Now that I think about it, being a government official is not a good thing. I can't blame Master for not wanting to be a servant of the Divine Abilities Bureau!" After the car had gone far away, Zhang SanKuang looked out the window into the night, sighing, "Just look at how Kang Ping looked when you said he was going to enter the mountain. It seems like he couldn't wait to drag you down with him."

"The higher one's position is, the more things to consider." Lin Bai replied in a low voice, "When I was in the ward, I was reciting the 'Sutra of the Person', but I couldn't feel any killing intent from the deceased. This is very different from common sense. I'm afraid that this insect plague is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster!"

"I have the same feeling, things won't be that simple this time. I hope that Teacher Chu and his students can come up with a plan to deal with this bug as soon as possible and minimize the damage! " Zhang SanKuang sighed.

"Let's hope so!" Lin Bai also sighed, then he turned his head and looked out the window. Coastal waters of Gui Province, when night came, faint mist would rise, blocking the road in front of them, which looked very similar to the environment they were in, but suddenly, Lin Bai felt something wasn't right, and said to the little warrior in the driver's seat, "Didn't they say that the mountain roads are rugged? How come it's so flat now?"

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "The leader said something before we came. Try to take a smoother path. Even if we have to take a longer detour, we will bring you to the worm-stricken area."

"Then what you mean is that we are taking a detour! Nonsense, at this time, you're still thinking about such things! " Lin Bai didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. He shook his head and continued, "Then according to our current route, how long do we need to reach the worm-stricken area?"

"He should be able to arrive by seven or eight o'clock tomorrow morning!" The little warrior thought for a while and then gave a compromise figure.

"Too late!" Lin Bai shook his head. Before he came here, he had also looked up the route, from Green City to the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range, it would take at most six hours. According to what this little warrior said, it would take at least ten hours to walk this route.

"At the next fork in the road, I should be able to make it by 2 o'clock at night!" The little warrior thought for a while and replied. Then, he revealed a troubled look and continued, "Leaders, if the leaders know that I've taken you along the shortcut path, they will have to arrange the arrangements for me. Plus, the night road in the mountain is not easy, we still have to walk the last part of the path!"

"I will take responsibility for this. I definitely won't let them do anything to you!" Lin Bai waved his hand and said flatly, "If we need to walk, then let's walk. As long as we can reach the worm-stricken area as soon as possible!"

Furthermore, from the conversation just now, he could feel that Lin Bai and the rest had an extraordinary status, calling out the Governor of Gui Province's name without any trace of reverence. The status of these people were likely above the Governor of Kang Province, and they should be people he could not afford to provoke.

After the car entered a fork in the road, the road suddenly became much worse. Under the headlights, they could see the jagged rocks on the road ahead. Under this kind of driving, the car kept swaying non-stop.

Luckily, this little soldier's driving skills were not bad. Although this Eastwind Warrior was a national product that imitated a Hummer, its shock absorption level was not bad. Inside the car, Lin Bai and the others didn't feel that the road was bumpy. This made them feel that Kang Ping's worries were rather unnecessary. What danger could a mountain road like this have? Why make such a big fuss over nothing?

However, his thoughts did not last long before he heard the sound of a car clanging. Then the interior of the car started to shake, and Zhang Sanming's body bounced up. He landed on the roof of the car and covered his head as he grimaced in pain.

"There are no more cement roads in front of us. It's just a rocky beach. It might be bumpy. Please sit still!" That young warrior wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh. He spoke with great difficulty as he held his neck.

Just as he had said, the next moment did not even have a bit of stability. The car swayed non-stop, causing Lin Bai and the rest who were in the car to fall to the ground continuously, crashing into the roof of the car who knows how many times. If they were not in a hurry, Lin Bai and the rest would rather walk than stay in this bumpy carriage for another minute.

"Chief, the road ahead is broken. We can only get off the car and walk!" After a while, the little soldier braked the car and turned to look at Lin Bai and the rest apologetically, as if he was the reason why they had to climb the mountain.

Hearing the little warrior's words, Lin Bai and the rest hurriedly opened the door and jumped off the car. After jumping all this way, they felt that even their organs had shifted places. If this went on, they might vomit on the car.

The headlights illuminated the area in front of them, and the mountain peaks in front of them were many times more steep than the mountain ranges on both sides of the road. The mountain ridges seemed to have been carved out of a knife and axe, and there was even a layer of faint mist that permeated the mountain, and even though there were so many trees, there was still a fishy stench coming from them.

However, what confused Lin Bai was that after entering the mountain, the surrounding roads didn't emit even the slightest sound of insects. He didn't even see any living creatures. The entire mountain range had become deathly silent.

"Good stamina, chiefs. I've accompanied the other leaders on this road before, but they all have to rest for a long time on the road. It's really rare for you guys to not even gasp for breath!" The little warrior who was leading the way praised them sincerely.

This mountain road was very steep, and at this time of the night, it was very misty, making the road seem even more slippery. However, these people walked on it as if it was flat ground, and even the scouts training here everyday couldn't compare to them.

"We often run outside and we've all gotten used to it!" Lin Bai took a few steps forward and stared at the slightly red canopy of the sky in shock. He asked doubtfully, "It's midnight now, why is there such a color in the sky?"

"It's all because of the bugs …" The little warrior saw that Lin Bai and the rest were very approachable, and he was no longer as reserved as before. He sighed lightly and said, "When we get to the top of the mountain, Chief, you'll understand why this is happening."

Lin Bai nodded his head when he heard this and quickly climbed up the mountain. However, just as he stood at the peak and was about to take a breath, the foul air that was about to be exhaled from his chest was forcefully swallowed back down.
