Chapter 203
Eve’s POV
"Crack?" " The driver spoke up, "Lombardy Street?" "Perhaps the sewer pipe burst?"
"Crack?" " I felt a little strange. Although I knew that the tsunami and earthquake that destroyed the Golden Gate Bridge would come at noon a few days later, would there be any strange signs before that?
Before I could figure it out, the driver suddenly started slamming on the brakes. This emergency braking almost caused me to hit the front seat.
What's wrong?
"Strange..." There's a traffic jam."
I followed the driver's gaze into the distance and indeed found that the traffic ahead was extremely congested. The vehicles on the road stretched as far as the eye could see.
The driver looked at the time a little anxiously: "Oh dear..." I guess there was a chain collision. I've encountered it before. It was stuck for at least an hour...
He kept looking left and right, as if thinking about how to change lanes to get around the crowded traffic.
I felt a vague unease in my heart, but knowing that traffic jams were inevitable, I said, "Just drive slowly."
"Oh dear..." The driver glanced at me in the rearview mirror and said, "Don't worry. I'll try to go as fast as possible."
I nodded and said no more. The driver slowly drove the car into the waiting traffic. Behind us, cars kept coming in one after another. Now we were caught in the middle of the entire line, unable to move forward or backward.
I'm a bit impatient, but at this moment, there's no better way but to wait.
The place where we are still is about ten kilometers away from my residence. If we walk there, it will definitely take two or three hours.
Thinking of this, I took out my phone again to call Vicky and Luke, but no one answered.
The busy signal on the other end of the phone made me even more annoyed.
I remained silent as the radio in the car rustled.
"Dear listeners, there are unknown weather phenomena in Los Angeles. The actual situation awaits expert analysis. Please pay attention to driving safety." "
The driver listened attentively to the broadcast, indicating that the traffic jam in front of him would not last long.
However, when people wait for a long time aimlessly, they will all feel irritable. After all, no one knows when they will be waiting.
Gradually, the honking of horns rose and fell on the road, disturbing my mind.
After a while, the drivers gradually turned off their engines, got out of the cars and began to chat with each other.
The taxi driver was clearly a restless person. As soon as he saw someone moving around, he got out of the car immediately. He no longer paid attention to me but instead picked up a cigarette and chatted with several drivers nearby.
I sighed and took out my phone to leave Vicky and Luke voicemail addresses and text messages.
"Dear, come home as soon as possible, get ready. We have to set off early."
I deliberately made the matter more serious. The most important thing at present is to make Vicky and Luke understand the significance of the matter the moment they see the message.
After finishing all this, I leaned back in my seat and closed my eyes.
He has never considered himself a savior. All he has done is merely to keep himself alive in this world.
I closed my eyes and squinted for a while, not knowing how much time had passed. Suddenly, I was woken up by the driver's sound of opening the door.
"Madam, come and have a look at this quickly!" He didn't care whether I was sleeping or not and started howling loudly.
"What?" " I opened my eyes in a daze and saw the driver waving a mobile phone at me.
I took the phone and found it was a photo. The shooting location should be Lombardy Street.
I enlarged the picture and couldn't help but frown.
There was a crack hanging in the sky, and many luminous things were pouring down from it, as if stars had fallen. Many cars were blocked by this light curtain and couldn't move forward at all.
"Has the sky cracked?" " I asked in puzzlement.
"Yeah, it really looks like there's a crack in the sky." "
The driver gave a simple smile and sat back in the driver's seat. "But it's said that this opening is getting smaller and should disappear soon. Once those glowing things stop blocking the way, we'll be able to move on."
I nodded, took out my phone and was stunned for a moment.
It's past eight o 'clock in the evening? "!"
The issue I'm concerned about is not this at all. Instead, I've found that up to now, two hours have passed and I've missed my dinner time, but neither Vicky nor Luke has replied.
A sense of unease spread in his heart.
As time passed minute by minute, the traffic finally started to move.
It's just that the progress is much slower than I expected.
It seems that the area closest to the entrance did indeed experience a car accident due to this strange climate phenomenon.
It was already eight o 'clock in the morning when the strange crack disappeared and traffic resumed flowing into Qingdao.
During this period of time, I kept calling Vicky and Luke's phones non-stop, but no one answered.
After much thought, there is only one reason that can explain the current situation.
Vicky and Luke were mostly controlled by the people of Eden Island.
Just as I was getting more and more frightened as I thought about it, the mobile phone in my pocket suddenly vibrated.
Vicky called.
"Mom!" " On the other end of the phone, Vicky called out feebly, "I'm sorry..." Ethan and I, well, have been having sex since yesterday afternoon and only woke up now.
I frowned slightly, ignoring the part of making love, and asked, "Did you feed the fish yesterday?"
"Puff..." " Vicky smiled. "What are you doing?" Even giving me a "secret code"? Nothing happened. I'm just really a little tired.
Only then did I understand and hurriedly said, "Vicky, listen to me. Go back to the apartment right now, pack up your things, take Luke and Ethan, and I'll pick you up right away." "
"HMM?" "
There's no time to explain. Trust me. I said anxiously.
"Ok..." Vicky agreed, "Ethan and I'll go pack up right now. How long will it take you to get there?"
"I..." I turned my hand to check my phone and felt that something was not quite right.
It takes at least an hour to get there by car from here.
Don't worry about how long it will take for me to arrive. Anyway, you must leave home right away and take your bodyguards with you! Take good care of yourself!"
"Oh..." All right then." Vicky nodded and became serious, "I will!" "Mom, be careful too!" "
"Ok!"
I called Luke but got no reply.
Thinking of this, I urged the driver again, "Please speed up a little more."
The driver couldn't persuade me and had to step on the accelerator again.
The journey that originally took an hour was completed in just forty minutes.
"Thank you, Master." I threw down a few US dollars and got off the car without looking back.
Under the downtown apartment, people were coming and going, well-dressed men and women and luxurious cars, but Vicky and Luke were nowhere to be seen.
They weren't waiting for him downstairs at all.
What's going on?
I called the other person's mobile phone, but still no one answered.
Vicky, Luke, Ethan, where have you been... ?"
