My daily mountain driving, I met a fox at the beginning and got married

Zhang Hao waved his hand dismissively: "My mission here is complete. If there's nothing else, we won't see each other again. Let's part ways here. By the way, going home like this might scare people. Let me take care of it for you."

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Hao cast a cleansing spell, and Fedor, who was covered in blood, quickly returned to his clean state, becoming completely clean.

Zhang Hao pulled a small notebook from his pocket and wrote him a check for $50: "This is your reward for helping us deal with the zombie king. Take it; you deserve it."

Holding the check, Fedor walked out, gazing at the sky and feeling the cold wind, a weary smile creeping onto his face. He covered his face and began to sob softly. Now that no one was around, he could finally stop suppressing his emotions!
These past few days, ever since he learned that all sorts of demons and monsters exist in this world, ever since he discovered that his identity was unusual, ever since he was found by that damned zombie king, he has felt like he is in a dangerous situation and could lose his life at any moment!
In the eyes of those who possess mysterious powers, he was nothing more than an insignificant speck of dust; once he died, he was gone, and no one would care.

Fortunately, I met Zhang Hao. If it weren't for him, I might have really died silently.

Looking at the moon in the sky and watching their figures disappear into the air, Fedor sincerely wished them well: "May everything go well for you."

……

Zhang Hao didn't rest after leaving. They quickly left the country, and the relevant documents had been processed for them by the government. Old Zhang had already booked a hotel for them in a small town in the Sunset Empire.

Back at the hotel, Zhang Hao rested for a while before heading off to hell to find Yama, the King of Hell.

Little Koi originally wanted to go too, but Zhang Hao didn't let her.

Given her cultivation level, if others in the underworld were to learn of her special abilities, she would likely be targeted.

The little koi fish, who loves freedom the most, will definitely be very troubled when the time comes.

Zhang Hao arrived in the underworld and confirmed that they had resolved the zombie king's problem and that the souls of the smaller zombies had been properly taken care of. After cooperating with them to complete a series of records, Zhang Hao returned to the human world.

After going to the underworld and returning to the earth, he walked down the street, and passersby couldn't help but cast wary glances at him.

Zhang Hao looks like a social elite right now, so normally people shouldn't have any negative impressions of him.

However, those people all looked at him as if he were a bad guy, and even if he got a little closer, they would immediately keep their distance.

Zhang Hao knew that this was because he had been to the underworld and had been tainted by the atmosphere of the netherworld, which made him seem sinister.

Back at the small hotel where he had booked a room, the receptionist stopped him even though he had already shown his face: "Sir, what brings you here?"

Zhang Hao reluctantly showed his room card: "I'm staying here and planning to go back to my room to rest."

The receptionist was a little embarrassed, initially thinking he was a criminal. "I'm sorry, please come in, sir."

After saying that, she returned to her post and watched the man's departing figure, thinking to herself: He looks quite handsome, but for some reason, I always feel that he is a criminal.

When Little Koi saw him return, she took out her phone and showed him a detailed map: "I can't contact Chen Anshui and the others. It seems something happened to them. The last place they were last seen after losing contact is this place..."

The little koi fish clicked on the map and zoomed in. There was a coordinate on the map that read "Kate Town"!
It's quite far from where they live. If they were to go there, given the country's traffic conditions, it would take at least a day, and that's assuming there's no traffic and no rest stops.

They lost contact, but according to clandestine communication, their vital signs were very stable and they should be out of danger.

They've just lost contact... I guess they've run into some trouble.

"We'll go to this place to find them tomorrow."

Zhang Hao made up his mind that they should get a good rest tonight, since he had overexerted himself in the fight against the zombie king and needed to recover.

During the recovery process, Zhang Hao tried to contact Han San using a secret spell, but the spell failed! There was no sign of him being able to contact them at all.

The next morning, Zhang Hao got up and immediately took the little koi fish out to hail a taxi.

He plans to hire a car; money is not an issue, as long as it's fast.

They actually wanted to fly there directly, but unfortunately, they couldn't determine the exact location because they didn't know the way!
The driver was a man who looked to be in his forties or fifties. He was overweight, had cloudy eyes, but a kind smile.

After telling him the location of Kate Town, Zhang Hao asked him how much it would cost, and the driver gave him a number.

This exact amount is much higher than what Zhang Hao found online, almost two or three times higher!
"Do you think you can fool us just because we're from out of town?"

Zhang Hao questioned the old man with a cold face.

The old man felt wronged. He spread his hands, explaining with a mixture of grievance and righteous indignation, "You're really accusing me. If I weren't short of money, I wouldn't want to take your fare. If you don't believe me, go find other taxis and see if any of them dare to take you to Kate Town!"

The old driver became even more self-righteous at this point: "I'm already being very kind by giving you a ride, and I'm not exaggerating at all, it's only two or three times the price! If you don't want to go, go find someone else, anyway I'm quite afraid to go to that place."

Zhang Hao and Little Koi exchanged a glance.

Little Koi was annoyed by waiting for the bus, so she said, "Let's just take this bus, we don't need the money anyway."

Yes, they don't lack money, they just hate being treated like fools and deceived.

Zhang Hao gave them the money, and the two got into the car.

The old driver drove the car toward Kate.

"Driver, why is no one willing to take the business to Kate Town?" Zhang Hao asked curiously.

"Because some strange things have been happening there recently, people who go there are prone to all sorts of accidents, either becoming disabled or dying. It's so scary, who would dare to go?"

The old driver was very direct, even saying that the small town had become a forbidden area among their driver circle, and no one dared to go there.

Zhang Hao also found it quite unbelievable.

"How could such a strange thing happen? Could it just be a coincidence?"

"If only it were just a coincidence, I'd tell you, I'm only responsible for taking you to the gas station near Kate town, I won't take you into town."

The driver was very blunt, and kept saying that he wouldn't do the business if it really involved driving inside.

Zhang Hao had no choice but to agree.

However, Zhang Hao kept trying to get information out of the old driver along the way.

According to the driver, this strange phenomenon had started two months ago, and everyone believed that there was a demon hiding in the town, and that the town had been cursed by the demon to become like this.

The little koi patted its chest and said proudly, "If it really is a curse, then I'm not afraid at all, because I'm born with good luck."

The driver didn't believe it at all: "These young people nowadays just don't believe what the old folks say. You don't know how dangerous it is over there. Good luck won't help. Staying far away is the only way."

The little koi snorted and proudly declared that it was not making things up.

"I have the constitution of a lucky koi fish, how could I possibly be unlucky!"

The car drove all the way to a gas station, where the driver stopped. "Kete Town is just ahead on this road. I'm not going with you."

Zhang Hao had no choice but to pay the bill and get off the bus with the little koi fish.

The gas station attendants saw them and greeted them with smiles. The driver filled up his tank and left, not wanting to linger there for even a moment longer.

The gas station staff were surprised to see that they were heading to Kate.

"Are you really going there to die?"

Zhang Hao was speechless: "How is going there just sending yourself to your death?"

"This place seems to have become famous online recently, attracting many young college students looking for thrills, claiming they want to find real ghosts. Many online streamers also come here to broadcast for traffic. At first, it really got lively, but without exception, everyone who came here to play dares or broadcast died in various accidents!"

"This news spread like wildfire online. If the relevant departments hadn't blocked all information about this town, there would probably still be people who are not afraid of death coming here to die."

Zhang Hao listened with a serious expression.

"Let me tell you, even if you received news before that there are exciting and fun things here, don't go anymore. People can really die there," the staff member earnestly advised.

Little Koi had no patience to listen to his rambling and grabbed Zhang Hao's hand, saying, "Let's get out of here quickly, don't waste any more time."

Zhang Hao thanked the staff, but still headed towards Kate Town with the little koi fish.

The little koi fish walked along the road, sensing the change in the surrounding atmosphere, and said nonchalantly, "It's much quieter now, but I haven't seen any demons or monsters. At least I haven't sensed the presence of any of those monsters."

Zhang Hao frowned slightly, actually becoming more vigilant.

The road was unusually quiet; there were no pedestrians, no vehicles, and not even the chirping of insects or birds. It was eerily quiet.

After walking for about half an hour, they finally saw the entrance to the town of Kate!
The town of Kate is located at the foot of a forested mountain. From a distance, it looks quite nice, especially the green environment, which is very pleasant.

However, the fog is usually quite heavy near the forest. Sure enough, as night fell, a layer of white fog filled the air, enveloping the entire town of Kate.

The town, shrouded in white mist, exuded an eerie atmosphere.

Zhang Hao looked at the small town, frowned slightly, and felt that something was very wrong.

The little koi fish also noticed something was wrong: "Shouldn't the lights be on by now? Why can't I see any light at all?"

Looking out over the entire town, there wasn't a single light. Was there a power outage?

But there was still electricity at the gas station just now.

Zhang Hao carefully sensed the town and found that the fog swirling around the small clinic was a bit strange.

"The swirling mist is like an invisible seal, separating the entire town from the ordinary world."

Zhang Hao said uncertainly.

However, this isolation is not very tight; with careful observation and detection, it is still easy to detect what is inside.

The little koi touched her arm, rubbing away the goosebumps that had appeared on her skin: "Should we still go over and take a look?"

"I definitely have to go see it."

Zhang Hao told the little koi to wait where it was and not to follow him, otherwise it would be troublesome if something really happened.

Little Koi retorted confidently, "Haven't you seen how in horror movies, things go wrong as soon as the main characters separate? So it's safer for us to stay together."

This guy can always find all sorts of reasons to refute me. Fine, I'll leave her here. If something really happens, he won't have time to help.

I feel more at ease having it with me.

Thinking this, Zhang Hao led the little koi fish forward.

The road ahead was shrouded in white mist, and the wind blowing through it was so cold that it made people shiver.

Zhang Hao raised his hand to feel the wind. The wind brushed past his fingertips, bringing a slightly cool touch. The coolness did not disappear with the touch of his fingertips, but slowly seeped into his bones and flesh.

"This wind is a cold wind. Be careful and use magic to isolate yourself from it. Don't come into contact with this wind."

Zhang Hao reminded the little koi.

The little koi obediently did as instructed, and the two continued walking forward.

The path ahead was covered with fallen leaves, which crunched as you walked on them.

There was a security booth at the intersection of the town, but the lights inside were off, leaving it pitch black, and even the security measures were ineffective.

However, even in the dim light, one could still vaguely see a figure by the glass window inside the pavilion.

The person seemed to be looking down at something, very focused. After a while, they turned another page, the sound of turning pages particularly noticeable in the quiet space.

"Hello, we are travelers from out of town. Why is it so quiet here?"

Zhang Hao looked around but didn't see a single living person nearby. There was only one person reading a book in the security booth. Now, he had no choice but to ask him about the situation.

When asked, the person didn't answer but continued reading, like a rigid machine sitting there.

Zhang Hao reached out to push open the closed glass window to take a closer look at the situation inside.

The moment his hand touched the glass window, the security guard inside, who was reading a book, suddenly looked up, his voice hoarse, as if warning, "Don't open the glass window."

Zhang Hao found it strange. Wasn't this person supposed to be responsive? Why did he ignore him just now?

"We are travelers from out of town. Why is no one here? I've heard that people in Western European countries like to stay up late, why are you..."

Zhang Hao was interrupted by the security guard before he could finish speaking.

"Leave here, don't stay, get out of here!" The cold voice sounded like a warning, or perhaps a shoo-out order.

Zhang Hao frowned slightly and said, "But we have some things to do and can't leave here for the time being. We have a friend..."

Before he could finish speaking, the security guard who was supposed to answer his question suddenly lowered his head and started snoring.

Zhang Hao carefully checked the security guard's heartbeat and body temperature inside and found that everything was normal. (End of Chapter)
