Lin Wu left with a devilish chuckle, startling Lin Meng, who felt all over her body, unsure of what she might have lost.
After passing the collapsed ten-meter path, they waved goodbye. Lin Meng watched the two leave, feeling good as she got back into the vehicle to reverse but failed to judge the distance and scraped the rear of the car against the rock formation. She got out to inspect the damage, confirmed the car had collided, so she got back in and drove away, returning to the vast, deserted outskirts of North City.
From North City to Fantasy City was more than three hundred kilometers. Along the way, the pleasant scenery of autumn winds and falling leaves, combined with babbling brooks and pastoral landscapes, meant the two slowed down their horse's pace and their own rhythm. It took them five days to reach the ramp to Fantasy City on Route 88. The next stop on Route 88 was Peace City, twelve hundred kilometers away.
