Now that the old man confirmed that this broken road could bypass the traffic jam, Owen decided to endure it a little longer.
The car continued to move forward, and the path became more and more remote. Owen checked his phone again, but there was still no signal. He had no idea where this place was.
Owen drove the car very fast, but many times the trees on both sides were too dense, even affecting his vision. Especially in some corners, they were often blocked by trees or shadows, and you didn't know you were turning until you got there.
Owen slowed down the car appropriately, but it was still not slow. He was really fed up with the broken road and just wanted to leave as quickly as possible.
After turning another corner, Owen gradually increased the speed of the car. A red convertible sports car appeared parked on the side of the road not far ahead. Owen was a little interested. He met someone in such a quiet place, and looked at it.
This car model should be a woman.
The distance between the two parties was getting closer and closer, and Owen's attention was focused on the red sports car. Suddenly, a rattling sound came from underneath the car, and then the car lost control. Owen was experienced and did not brake immediately, but
You release the accelerator and wait until the vehicle speed decreases before braking to a stop.
Owen got out of the car and couldn't help but curse when he saw the four flat wheels and the barbed wire next to them.
Who would do such an immoral thing in such a remote area? The barbs on the wire were obviously specially made. Owen swore that if there was a repair station within a few kilometers nearby, he would definitely blow the head of the repair station owner.
After looking at the condition of the tires, he saw that it was really unlucky. All four tires were scrapped. Even if he had a spare tire, it was of no use. Looking at the red sports car next to him, it was the same situation. The wire was even entangled in the tires. Owen walked over and said,
There was no one in the car, so the owner probably went somewhere to ask for help.
Owen followed the wire all the way to find it. The end of the wire was wrapped around a big tree. Now he was sure that someone had done this deliberately. And there were more than one wire. Owen was hit by one wire, and the red sports car was hit by it.
It's another one.
Owen once again greeted the eight generations of ancestors who did this immoral thing, and took out his phone to ask for help, but there was no signal on the phone at all. This place was very evil, as if it had avoided modern civilization. Ever since he got on this dirt road, his cell phone had not stopped.
No signal.
Owen returned to the middle of the road and looked at the empty dirt road in front and behind him. Trying to hitch a ride in this poor place was simply delusional, and he didn't know when a vehicle would pass by.
On the ground, Irving found a pool of blood. He frowned and touched the handle of the military dagger at his waist. Because the laws in California and Florida were different, Irving did not bring a gun this time, but only a dagger for self-defense.
The blood stains on the ground extended towards the woods on the roadside. Either there was an accident or the car owner was injured.
Owen pulled out the military dagger, held it in his hand, and then carefully followed the blood stains into the woods. There was a woman's sneaker in the woods, and there were also traces of dragging.
The situation was getting worse and worse. Owen followed the traces and searched again. The dragging traces lasted for a certain distance and then disappeared, turning into two ruts.
Owen followed the ruts again. At first, the ruts were still very obvious on the wet soil, but they disappeared after a while, and Owen completely lost the trace.
Looking at the forest in front of him with no idea which direction to go, Owen looked back at the direction of the road. It was obviously not appropriate to follow the road back to the gas station. Owen decided to continue walking into the forest. Those ruts just now might be the local mountain people.
She met the injured car owner and rescued her. As long as the mountain people were found, they might have a phone number to call for help.
General Owen put away his dagger and continued to search in the forest. The vegetation here was very lush and lush everywhere. If there were really mountain people, they shouldn't live too far from the road. Owen decided to look for them.
He hadn't walked far in the mountains when he heard the sound of a loudspeaker and was shocked. Someone was speaking on the loudspeaker. Although he couldn't hear clearly, it at least meant that there was someone nearby and the distance was not far away.
Owen identified the direction, accelerated his speed, and soon reached the edge of the woods. There was an open space in front of him. There was an RV parked in the open space, and there were several men and women sitting or standing nearby. A man with short hair was walking
Use a loudspeaker to shout.
"Dave..."
"I'm here..."
"Jennifer..."
"exist."
"Jack..."
"arrive."
…
The short-haired man seemed to be calling names.
"Debbie...Debbie?"
The short-haired man called twice but no one answered. Then he angrily shouted to the assistant next to him: "Where is Debbie? Call her..."
The assistant shrugged and made a helpless expression: "I tried it. I contacted her on the highway two hours ago. She said she was on the way and would be there soon. After that, she couldn't be contacted. There was no signal here at all.
"
Owen observed from a distance for a while. These people seemed to be a crew, because he saw a guy carrying a camera in the middle. Those men and women should be actors. Looking at the RV, it looked like the director's van that can be seen everywhere in Hollywood.
Comes with full media equipment and power generation equipment.
There is help!
Owen walked out from the edge of the forest and walked towards those people.
Soon someone noticed him. An uninvited guest suddenly appeared in a strange place. Everyone looked at Irving. The short-haired man noticed everyone's gaze and followed it.
Owen said smoothly: "Hey, it's great to see you. My car broke down outside. Some unscrupulous guy put a wire on the road and punctured my tire. I want to ask if you can help.
Let me...”
"Where are you going?"
The man with the short hair is obviously the main one here.
"California or Florida are fine, as long as you can get out of here, my phone has no signal here..."
"Okay, but we are filming a reality show and it will take a day. If you don't mind, you can wait for us. After the filming is completed, we will return to Los Angeles and we can take you there..."
Owen nodded after hearing the short-haired man's reply.
"Thank you very much. Can I sit here and wait for you?"
The short-haired man signaled to Owen that he was free and then continued to explain the rules of the reality show to others. Owen had nothing to do and followed suit. Since he had found someone to help, there was no need to go to the mountain people, not to mention that he could accept it just by waiting for a day.
After listening to it for a while, Owen roughly understood the gameplay of this show. Simply put, this is an outdoor reality show. There are ten contestants in total, divided into five groups in pairs. The content of the filming is that they spend a day in the wild. This
Each group decides what they will do in a day. All they have to do is try to attract the audience's attention. At the end, the audience will vote, and the winner of the vote will receive a reward of 100,000 US dollars from the program group.
"But Jeff, Debbie hasn't shown up yet, who should I partner with?"
A female contestant named Erica complained to the short-haired man, whose name was Jeff and was the producer of this show.
"Damn it, I made a deal with her..."
Jeff was also very depressed. Owen suddenly remembered the red sports car on the side of the road and asked tentatively: "Is the Debbie you are talking about driving a red sports car?"
