Chapter 682: Chapter 322 Old Friend? _3

Lin Meng clutched her backpack uneasily as she stepped back, then turned and ran toward the white pickup truck, frantically starting the vehicle. She then hit the roadside greenery in her panic, clumsily reversing before driving away.

Lin Wu and Maya let out a whistle, and two horses along with Wai came running. The pair vaulted onto their horses’ backs, and Maya asked with a smirk, "Does it smell good?"

"Not telling you," Lin Wu replied as he caught Wai jumping up and placed it in front of him on the saddle.

"It seems like you might have done something unkind to her before," Maya said.

"Hmm?" Lin Wu responded.

"She acted as if I didn’t exist at all."

Lin Wu thought for a moment. "Don’t know, giddyup!"

This wasn’t a journey, but a chase. The two horses galloped at speeds over 50 kilometers per hour, but this pace was clearly not enough to catch up to the startled Lin Meng. However, the horses had an advantage in that they could take shortcuts, cutting a straight line when the pickup turned. After a pursuit of roughly 15 kilometers, Sandstorm began to slow. Continuous high-intensity running caused its fatigue threshold to reach 50%.

Phantom shed Sandstorm and continued the pursuit. Lin Wu watched Phantom’s fatigue value rise from 50 to 60, 70, 80. Even so, Phantom’s speed didn’t decrease and it maintained velocity while weaving straight paths up and down hills and across rivers. When its fatigue value reached 90, Lin Wu pulled his horse to a halt.

Lin Wu and Phantom stopped on a hill overlooking a large plain, but there was no sign of the white pickup truck. To the southeast was a roadside gas station. To the northeast, there was a coffee shop and a restaurant. To the east, along the road were two small clusters of buildings, too distant to make out their nature.

Lin Wu dismounted, tied Phantom to a tree, and let the horse conceal itself in the underbrush.

Next, Lin Wu took out Lin Meng’s coat from the backpack and let Wai smell it. As Hunting Dog, Wai was obviously excited about finally having a chance to do what it was trained for, twisting its body while sniffing around.

"Would you change your attitude? Just sniff, what’s with the wagging tail?"

Lin Wu took the coat away and Wai sniffed the air, then headed downhill towards the southeast gas station. Without Phantom, Lin Wu ran swiftly, following Wai to the vicinity of the gas station. He then ordered Wai to come back and find a place to hide. Lin Wu went into Stealth mode, skirting around to the side of the gas station,

The gas station was made up of four parts. The first part was the convenience store, the second the pumps outside the store, the third the car wash beside the store, and the fourth a restroom. Lin Wu had already spotted the white pickup parked inside the car wash bay.

Starting from the restroom location, Lin Wu conducted a rough inspection before moving toward the car wash. Then his foot caught on a line, but thanks to his heightened alertness while in Stealth mode, he immediately noticed the fishing line. Following the line between the restroom and the car wash, he discovered a landmine that showed just the tip of its "head."

Damn girl!

Lin Wu stepped over the trip line, moving even more cautiously, but found no other dangers or clues.

Lin Wu beckoned Wai over with a gesture, then took the coat out again for Wai to smell. This time he grabbed Wai by the neck to slow it down. Wai was very reliable, without hesitation, guided Lin Wu to the men’s restroom.

Is this girl clever, or is it just her cup of tea?

Lin Wu had Wai lay on the ground while he searched around, and soon felt a small trapdoor on door number two. Pushing the trapdoor upwards revealed a keypad. Lin Wu used his personal computer to connect to the device and began to decode. In no time, the 8-digit password appeared on the monitor of Lin Wu’s personal computer.
