American homeless people, surviving in the city

Chapter 148 The End of the Road in the Woods

The dangerous maneuver of the car in front instantly set off alarm bells in Lin Qi's mind.

...Have these guys gone mad?!

To force me to stop, they even used their own car as an obstacle?! At this rate, there's a good chance that more than just the two of us will die in this accident!

Lin Qi simply couldn't understand how these cultists' brains worked, but he knew that the move they had made, risking their lives, had indeed blocked his only way out!

This dirt road was already very narrow, and with the cultists' jeep blocking the middle of the road, there was absolutely no way his car could get through!

With pursuers behind and obstacles in front, Lin Qi was once again trapped in a desperate situation with no way to escape!

Dead end!

But the more he was in this situation, the calmer Lynch remained.

Although he didn't press the brake pedal and the SUV was still speeding along, in that instant, in Lin Qi's eyes, the surrounding scenery seemed to slow down dramatically.

He quickly looked around, his mind racing, trying to find a way to escape.

As his gaze swept over the woods by the roadside, a bold idea suddenly popped into his head.

After driving for a while on this road, the trees along the roadside seemed to have thinned out considerably.

...So, we can only drive in there, right?

It rushed into the woods.

When the thought crossed Lynch's mind, he was startled. What a joke! Driving into the woods at such high speed, if he crashed into a tree, wouldn't it still result in a fatal accident? Even the most skilled driver would find it nearly impossible to navigate through a forest without roads.

Besides, Lynch himself is already in such poor condition!

...But that's all we can do, isn't it? At least we can make some progress through the sparse woods. In any case, it's better than being stopped on the spot by cultists.

Even just a few extra meters can create a distance between you and the cult members, giving you a better chance of survival.

Maybe if we go through the woods, we can find the road to Seattle? Maybe we can shake off the cultists and wait for reinforcements to arrive?

Even if it meant risking everything for a near-zero chance, Lin Qi refused to give up and wait for death. He would try to grasp even the slightest glimmer of hope!

In the blink of an eye, countless thoughts flashed through Lin Qi's mind, but in reality, only a brief moment had passed.

When he realized that this dangerous idea was the only possible way out, Lin Qi did not hesitate to swerve the steering wheel sharply.

"Ah!"

No one expected Lynch to do such a thing while driving.

Sylvia was violently thrown to the side by the sudden, powerful recoil. The violent jolts and turns of the car created a strong inertia that made it impossible for her to control her body. She was so frightened that she immediately grabbed the handrail tightly.

The cultists who were attacking Lin Qi from both sides didn't have time to react. They could only stare in disbelief as Lin Qi drove his off-road vehicle through the gap between two trees by the roadside and roared into the forest!

Thanks to Lynch's audacious and almost insane maneuver, the two SUVs driven by the cultists were quickly left behind.

But soon after, Lynch faced a new enemy.

Wild and ferocious nature is coming!

After driving into the forest, Lynch felt a sudden and exponential increase in pressure as he tried to control the vehicle's direction.

Even though the headlights could dispel the darkness of the night, his field of vision was firmly limited to a few meters in front of the car amidst the layers of trees.

He no longer cared whether the wheels were crushing tree roots, boulders, or craters. Branches lashed wildly against the vehicle, making a screeching sound. Amidst the violent jolting, Lynch had completely lost his sense of direction.

All he can do now is try his best to control the off-road vehicle, weaving through the trees and reaching as far away as possible!

Sylvia gripped the handrail tightly, her face filled with terror, but she gritted her teeth and remained silent.

The violent jolting caused Lynch to lose more and more blood, and his vision became increasingly blurred, but he still gripped the steering wheel tightly, controlling the SUV to weave left and right through the woods.

He didn't know how much longer he could hold on, nor how far he had left the cultists behind him. At this moment, he was completely controlling his body with his willpower, driving with an unwavering determination!

Suddenly, the trees ahead became even sparser once again!

...Are we finally going to break out of this valley?!

Lin Qi was overjoyed and his spirits lifted, thinking that he had finally found a way out.

But the moment the car emerged from the woods, the instant he saw the scene before him, his heart sank to the bottom.

There was neither a road leading to the city, nor a suburban town, nor any inhabited place ahead, but rather a cliff!

...Another cliff!

Lin Qi slammed on the brakes with all his might, and the SUV's tires immediately emitted a screeching sound as the vehicle slowed down. The violent jolts caused the two people inside to sway violently.

After a moment of dizziness, the off-road vehicle finally managed to come to a stop, but from Lynch's perspective, the front of the vehicle was almost hanging over the edge of a cliff!

"Hahaha..."

As the SUV came to a stop, the two men slumped into their seats. At that moment, they were filled with only one feeling: the relief of surviving a close call.

However, even though we survived, this is still not the time to relax.

Those cultists could catch up at any time.

After catching his breath, Lin Qi struggled to sit up from his seat. After confirming in the rearview mirror that there were no signs of the cultists within his field of vision, he immediately pushed open the car door and got out.

Sylvia also opened the other door and got out of the car. Both of them knew that the car was definitely not drivable. Next, they needed to check the surrounding environment immediately and think about how to get away!

Lin Qi walked to the edge of the cliff and bent down to examine it.

Upon closer inspection, the terrain is not really a cliff, but just a small earthen mound a few meters high.

However, even so, it's impossible to drive over that height. Continuing to drive forward would only result in a fatal accident.

Below this small mound was a river much more turbulent than the previous stream, its roaring waters gleaming with a dark silver light in the night.

The slope was flanked by dense forests. Once the off-road vehicle had driven to the end, it was impossible to bypass the cliff and continue driving unless it reversed back to a very far place.

"What should we do!" Sylvia looked at Lynch.

"6

One of them can go down from here!

Lynch turned to Sylvia, pointed down the slope, and said the only way out he could find at that moment!
