The sound of glass cracking and the siren of car echoed in the night sky.
Alvin was stunned in front of the car, staring at the stone that was embedded in the windshield and biting his lips tightly.
Henry, who had already entered the hotel, heard the siren of the car. He looked back with a smile and then walked into the elevator.
The next morning, Henry walked out of the hotel and found that Alvin was already standing in front of the hotel. The cracked windshield had disappeared completely. Alvin's pupils were bloodshot, his face was tired, and his hands were covered with dense wounds. Obviously, he took the cracked windshield off last night.
After seeing Henry coming out, Alvin nodded to Henry and said, "Mr. Zhang."
Alvin's calling of Mr. Zhang was less respectful than before, and there was also some haze in his eyes.
"Let's go. The motorcade is about to set off." Henry didn't say much and got into the offroad vehicle without the windshield.
Alvin nodded, got on the driver's seat, closed the door and started the car.
There was no windshield on the car. If they stepped on the gas a little bit, the oncoming wind would make them unable to breathe, let alone in such a windy and dusty place like Xin Province. Once the car started driving, they could feel the sand hitting their faces, which was very uncomfortable.
This feeling, of course, could not affect Henry, but it had a great impact on Alvin. Alvin, however, had no intention of slowing down at all. Instead, he stepped on the gas hard and drove the car so fast that he couldn't open his eyes and narrowed them into a slit.
On one corner, when another car was about to rush out, Henry reached out his hand to help Alvin control the direction, and at the same time, he used his Qi to slow down, so that the whole car safely made a turn.
On the other hand, Alvin's face was covered with dense traces of blood, all of which had been caused by sand. This kind of pain was difficult to bear, but Alvin had never let out a single sound along the way.
"Well, you are too tired. Have a rest." Henry patted Alvin on the shoulder.
Alvin shook his head and forced himself to open his bloodshot eyes. "Mr. Zhang, I'm not tired yet."
"Go and have a rest," Henry said in an indisputable tone.
Alvin turned around and took a look at Henry. Then he silently stepped on the brake, opened the door and got out.
Alvin stopped the car, but didn't stop on the side of the road. Instead, he just parked it in the middle of the road. Even Alvin himself didn't realize this kind of psychological change.
When Alvin sat in the passenger seat, he couldn't help closing his eyelids and fell asleep in a few seconds.
Henry sighed, started the car, and drove the car slowly.
Henry's speed along the way was not fast. He kept a constant speed of 40 miles per hour. When they arrived at the destination, it was already dark.
Everyone knew very well that the Loulan Kingdom that was going to be explored this time was definitely not the kind of place meant for sightseeing. There was much more about it.
The ancient Loulan Kingdom was known as the cursed place. Many secrets had been discovered here, but compared to the mystery of the entire Loulan Kingdom, it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket. Here, they found the female corpse from 3800 years ago, and it was well preserved. There were even rumours that a female corpse that hadn't been decayed for a thousand years was buried in the Loulan Kingdom.
In the Loulan Kingdom, there were too many things that did not conform to common sense, which made people confused.
The so-called Loulan Kingdom was nothing like what was presented to the public. The real Luolan Kingdom was behind this town. There, one would be able to explore the unknown secrets.
The temperature difference in the desert was very high, and it was winter now. Except for Henry, everyone else would be affected by the temperature.
Alvin had long been shivering from the cold. Only sitting next to the fire and drinking a bowl of hot rice porridge could he keep warm. It was just that the porridge could not fill up his stomach. The rice itself was too little, so no matter how much he drank, it was just water.
"You are having a good meal. It seems that everyone likes to be healthy. You are drinking rice porridge to fill your stomach at night, but we can't. We are a group of rough people with a big appetite and we can't sleep without eating meat at night." Wilson Cao took a porcelain bowl and strode over. In the bowl, there was a stewed lamb leg, full of meat. When Wilson spoke, he deliberately took a bite, and his mouth was full of oil.
Alvin looked up with a sullen face and glanced at the porcelain bowl in Wilson's hand. Then he lowered his head and continued to drink the rice porridge from his bowl.
Henry and others didn't say anything- They just sat there and didn't look at Wilson.
Wilson took a look and found that they didn't even care about him. Instead, he was making fun of himself, which made him a little bored. He snorted and left. Before he left, Wilson didn't forget to say, "F*ck, I'll see how long you can hold on before you starve to death!"
