The car gradually left Tuo Jia Town behind.
Jia had said all he wanted to say; they had discussed the itinerary beforehand anyway.
After a moment of thought, Jia wanted to suggest to Feng Yi that now, while they still had time, they could take a short rest.
Before he spoke, he saw through the rearview mirror that Feng Yi in the backseat had taken out a pouch of nutrient fluid and was sipping on it.
Jia returned to silence.
That's fine.
Different species, different ways of dealing with things. He couldn't apply his own experiences to others.
Two hours later, the car reached a fork in the road, turned, and proceeded along another path towards their destination.
The road they had turned onto was a bit narrower than the one from Tuo Jia Town to the other major city, and the network signal was worse.
Very few people traveled this road at night because if something were to happen, getting outside help was not guaranteed.
Starting here, they were on alert.
