Why it never ends

Chapter 1050 Physical Strength
Almost at the moment when the umbrella handle was about to hit Hesta's calf, Zoe suddenly kicked the boy in the shin. The other party screamed and his hand holding the umbrella loosened. Victoria also stretched out half of her foot, and the falling umbrella landed on the surface of her thick leather shoes and was kicked into the air by her again.

Before the boy could react, the sharp metal handle of the umbrella had already pierced into the cloth bag on his back, penetrating both the top and the bottom.

"Why is it still raining? I really can't trust the weather forecast. I checked before I went out, and it's been sunny these past few days..."

"It didn't rain that hard."

"I should have brought a raincoat with me."

"That's too troublesome. I'm just too lazy to bring it..."

A few mercury needles chatted quietly as they went deeper into the Tianchao Station. For a moment, the only sound of rain remained between heaven and earth.

Only then did the boy feel some belated fear.

After a while, Younis came back with big strides. When she saw her companions still holding umbrellas, she couldn't help but frowned: "Why are you still holding the umbrella? Give it to them!"

“…They don’t want it.”

"Give it to me." Younis grabbed all the umbrellas and was about to say that one was missing when he noticed the umbrella handle sticking out from behind the boy's right shoulder. "Okay, I'll leave this one for you... Don't be so restrained. I told you to be more generous when you go out to do things. Don't embarrass the teacher!"

"No need to remind me!" the boy muttered. "I know!"

Eunice ran to the side of several mercury needles and briefly conveyed Bo Heng's opinion - he had seen almost all the mercury needles in Victoria's team before, so he was not worried about their visit.

Although the teacher said so, Yunis, as a student, still told all the students with a stern face what to do when entering the mountains: she would take everyone to a car, and when the car drove away from the town and entered the mountains, everyone had to wear a hood and not look out the window. When they arrived at the place, whether it was the living area or the school, outsiders were not allowed to take pictures, and they were also not allowed to give any gifts to the locals.

Zoe raised her hands. "That's good. We didn't bring any gifts this time."

Victoria suddenly looked at Hesta and whispered, "It seems that coming to the door empty-handed is not in line with the social etiquette of the place where we live?"

"It's all right," Hesta whispered, "Boheng didn't bring any gifts when he came to our place."

"Oh, that's okay."

The four mercury needles followed Yunis and the others out of the station with brisk steps and got on a very dilapidated engineering vehicle. The interior of the vehicle had been remodeled, the cockpit and cargo compartment that were originally separated had been connected, and some soft leather chairs that looked completely out of place in the cargo compartment were installed, and there was a lingering smell of cigarettes in the vehicle.

As soon as Hesta sat down, he opened the window and went to sleep. Although Zoe and Victoria were wearing hoods, they were chatting in low voices. Only Welsin, who was sitting by the door, did not say a word, but sat upright, obviously awake.

Eunice looked back in the rearview mirror several times, and the sight of the motionless blond young man made the back of her neck feel cold.

"...Have you all had dinner?" Eunice asked.

"We've eaten in the car," Victoria replied. "Have you prepared any midnight snacks?"

"Well," Eunice said softly, "The teacher was supposed to come here today, but something happened in the afternoon, so I have to come instead... It will probably take us around 2 o'clock to get there, so you can take a nap if you're tired."

The mountain road was bumpy and the vehicle passed through several mud pits in a row. Hesta's head was shaking up and down while she was sleeping on her back, but she pulled the seat belt, adjusted her posture, and fell asleep again immediately.

Victoria glanced at Hesta and couldn't help but worry about her cervical spine for a second.

"What's the name of the friend sitting by the car door?" Eunice said, "I don't think I've seen you on the farm." Welsin didn't answer, and still sat there like a sculpture.

Victoria folded her arms and watched Versin's reaction with interest: "... Are you remembering the way?"

"what?"

"She's obviously not asleep, and she's not talking, so she must be remembering—"

Younis slammed the brakes, and everyone in the car leaned forward under inertia. Hesta finally woke up, took off her hood, and looked out the window blankly: "...Why, are we here?"

No one paid attention to Hesta's nonsense. Versin beside him also took off his hood: "Who said that? I was thinking about something."

"I just told you all at the station, don't remember the way!" Eunice's eyes widened, "Everyone who visits us must keep our location absolutely confidential--"

“You didn’t say that just now,” Zoe said, “You just said we had to wear hoods and not look out the window, and we all obeyed.”

Eunice was a little annoyed. She was about to reprimand Zoe for playing word games here, but Victoria said sincerely: "Is this the first time you are in charge of something like this?"

Eunice was so embarrassed that she couldn't even say a word she had prepared to argue with Zoe. Seeing the young girl's face getting redder and redder, Victoria quickly patted the back of the driver's seat and said, "I'll teach you."

She turned to look at Versin: "What is six hundred and twenty-four plus seven hundred and sixty-seven?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"1391," Versin replied.

"Six thousand seven hundred and eighty-five plus seven thousand four hundred and fifty-eight?"

"...14243."

"That's what I'm asking." Victoria looked at Eunice. "When you can't answer or are stuck in an answer, it means you're thinking about something else."

Weiersin laughed and said, "If you have the guts, just leave me here halfway. No matter what you ask me along the way, I won't say a word."

"You think I dare not put you—"

"Let's go." Hesta rubbed his face helplessly, "Since Boheng asked you to come pick me up, you definitely don't care whether I remember the way or not."

The car was quiet for a moment. In the awkward silence, Younis stepped on the accelerator again and got on the road.

Welsin simply took off his hood and looked at the mountain scenery outside the window with a comfortable look on his face.

……

The engineering vehicle drove out of the night rain in the second half of the night and drove into another clear mountain area at night. At the end of a dilapidated mountain road, everyone got off the car and climbed the mountain. Yunis led his companions to walk very fast. At first, Hesta and others could barely keep up, but as she got faster and faster, several people felt something was wrong.

"I need to take a break!" Hesta said, "It's too fast. I'm tired."

"...Are you tired already?" Younis sneered, "I thought your mercury needles were so powerful, but you can't handle this little mountain road!"

Zoe was already sweating and panting as she stood at the end of the team. She supported herself on her knees, leaned over and gasped for breath, looking up at Eunice in disbelief.
