Zou Datong drove at a careful 30 mph on the provincial road.
Half an hour passed...
And nothing happened at all.
For Zou Datong, it was half an hour of high tension, a life-or-death situation.
But with nothing happening, Zou Datong's nerves, previously taut as a drawn bowstring, began to relax slightly.
"Phew~~~ All's good~~ It seems I was a bit overly nervous." Zou Datong heaved a sigh of relief, turned on the car radio, lit a cigarette, and smoked while he drove.
Just then!
Two people suddenly emerged from the side of the road ahead!
A man and a woman.
The two of them directly reached out to stop Zou Datong's car.
Zou Datong's reflex was to hit the brakes, slowing the car and switching on the high beams for a better look.
He saw that the man was about thirty, of average height, with a noticeable scar on his face. The woman was in her early twenties, with a prominent belly -- she was pregnant.
The man was supporting the woman, waving at Zou Datong's car.
