Chapter 244: 244、Cordon (Part 1)
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Initially, everyone thought that some accident might have happened in front of them and traffic would revert to normal soon after . This was the season of tourism for Qingzhou, and most people had to pass by Huanhu road . But usually, the traffic on this road would be smooth and there would rarely be any traffic jams .
After all, no one stayed around the area and there was not a single traffic light . There was absolutely no reason for traffic jams .
Usually, apart from extremely bustling tourism seasons, this area of QIngzhou would not experience traffic jams even with a huge volume of traffic .
But now, the initially smooth traffic was jammed dead . One car stopped after another along the road and the entire jam was massive .
At that juncture, it was impossible for drivers in front to even turn around . They were trapped and could only advance and reverse between other cars .
People caught in the jam were rather patient at first . But after seeing no improvement even after two hours, tour guide Wang could take it no longer, "Everyone can alight to take a walk or something . I'll go and find out what's wrong . "
The source of the jam couldn't be seen with a huge line of cars ahead of them . Everyone on the tour alighted for some free time . Wang Shuli and her friends, again, sat by the side of the plains and sang their songs while playing their instruments .
To be honest, Lu Shu was rather envious of people who could play music and have fun . His life seemed rather plain and boring .
After all, musical instruments cost money . Learning music cost money as well, and money was something he didn't have in the past .
"Tour guide Wang, let me go with you," Lu Shu exclaimed before turning to Lu Xiaoyu, "Wait for me on the bus, I'll be back after seeing what's wrong . "
Lu Xiaoyu nodded her head obediently and went over to Wang Shuli to enjoy some music .
Lu Shu, after walking a few steps, seemed to remember something and turned around to exclaim at Lu Xiaoyu while pointing, at Little Fury, "Remember to do your writings!"
Little Fury, "???"
"From Little Fury's distress, +1+1+1…"
Only after walking for 2 kilometers did Lu Shu and tour guide Wang understand the cause of the jam . It wasn't because of an accident or anything of that sort but instead, the area ahead was cordoned off!
"What's the situation? Why is Chaka salt lake cordoned off?" Wang Genji couldn't make sense of the situation at all .
Lu Shu, on the other hand, had a premonition earlier . He already had a rough idea of what could be going on when the heavenly network left hurriedly with Liang Che and Li Dian last night .
Or else, the first thing they would do after arresting Liang Che and Li Dian would be to return to Xijing City .
Lu Shu turned to a driver nearby, "Bro, did they say why the area ahead is cordoned off?"
"No . They only said that it's military matters and it couldn't be revealed . At the start, they said the cordon would be lifted quickly and told us to be patient for a short while . But now, they're saying we definitely can't pass through…" the driver was annoyed as well . Being stuck here, he couldn't make it home even when he really wanted to .
Oh, Lu Shu understood what was happening . At the start, the heavenly network probably couldn't confirm if there was anything inside and they decided to seal it first and verify the happenings inside . Once they verified that their findings were indeed grounded, they enforced the cordon of the area .
And at this moment, Lu Shu saw that behind the cordon, Li Dian was handcuffed near a car while Liang Che was nowhere to be seen .
Lu Shu was amused and acknowledged Li Dian, "Old Li! Why are you here!"
Li Dian did not sleep the entire night . Now that it was afternoon, he was both hungry and tired . Hearing someone calling for him in the distance, he turned his head over immediately, "Huh, aren't you the…"
He couldn't remember Lu Shu's name…
"Yes yes yes, that's me," Lu Shu smiled, "Old Li what's the situation? We couldn't find you the entire morning! In the end, a group of policemen came over to bring your stuff away . "
Li Dian hesitated for a long while, "I've got into a misunderstanding with the police . Everything will be alright after some explanation!"
"Oh…" Lu Shu nodded his head, "Then you'd have to explain yourself quickly! Wish you're released soon! Oh yeah, are you hungry?"
Li Dian's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing that . Damn that team leader who brought Liang Che away and left him here since last night . The military personnel that set up the barricade were, after all, a separate organization from the heavenly network so no one understood his situation and everyone was indifferent to him . Wang Shuo even told the soldiers before leaving that he was a scammer and told them to ignore him…
In the end, Wang Shuo was nowhere to be seen after leaving . Li Dian didn't have any food since last night! Not even a single sip of water!
"I'm hungry!" Li Dian was almost moved to tears, "Do you…"
Just as he wanted to ask if Lu Shu had food, Lu Shu nodded his head even before he could finish, "Yeah, I'm hungry as well . "
Li Dian was stunned . This? No?
"From Li Dian's distress, +666!"
"Do you have…"
"Once I get back, I'll roast ribs, steamed beef, braised beef, lamb racks and sour and spicy cabbage! I'll come and look for you when I'm free!" Lu Shu bolted after saying all that .
"From Li Dian's distress, +999!"
Did he… have to be so specific?!
Li Dian then felt that he shouldn't have come on this trip to Qingzhou . Apart from failing to obtain the mirror, he was now in the hands of the heavenly network . Why?
He bumped into a lunatic who bought his gourd, during which he almost lost his neck due to the constant twisting .
He was even unlucky enough to chance upon another motorcycle-carrying lunatic after planning to dig up a magical item . The damned item even acted as a flashbang, what is with this world?
And even now, he bumped into yet another lunatic . Can't you tell that I'm trying to ask for food?!
Why were there so many lunatics, and why did he bump into so many of them?
On the way back, Lu Shu was thinking . When he was standing at the edge of the cordoned area, he had felt a huge source of magical waves from inside but he could not verify what was happening .
If the remains had truly resurfaced, should he try to go in?
This was a question to be pondered over because the risks were substantial .
He wouldn't be too worried if he was at least a class C .
To his understanding, Qingzhou was not under the jurisdiction of any heavenly king . After all, apart from Shi Xuejin, there were only 7 heavenly kings who could fight . Li Yixiao aside, all these people were guarding cities at the border of the country .
But the problem was that since the remains were opened here, at least one heavenly king would definitely rush here . Even if it was to prevent an outsider from getting undeserved benefits . A heavenly king had to be present .
Although after the incident at Mt . Beimang where many people who challenged the heavenly kings were heavily weakened, there still wouldn't be a lack of people who were willing to take risks .
If he were to hide his identity and enter the remains, he might possibly stir some trouble and even get into a fight with a heavenly king…
