Chapter 532: Chapter 250: Going Against the Path_2 Chapter 532: Chapter 250: Going Against the Path_2 After filling up the motorcycle with gasoline, Yan Fei regained his ability to move forward. Using the “observation” capability of the drone in the sky, he planned a route for himself. Then, wrapping a piece of white cloth around his head and leaving only his eyes exposed, Yan Fei started the motorcycle and rode off towards the east with Yang Qi. The drone didn't accompany Yan Fei but continued to hide within the clouds. This not only conserved Energy Points to the greatest extent possible but also provided aerial early warning support for Yan Fei's actions.

Yan Fei chose not to enter the drone and hide within the clouds because the remaining Energy Points of the drone were insufficient to keep it hovering in the sky. It consumes 15,000 Energy Points to hover for an hour. But the consumption would increase significantly if it were to fly.

It was 2 p.m. Los Angeles time, and there were still 13 hours before the next drone data refresh. The drone had less than 150,000 Energy Points left. Therefore, such a small amount of Energy Points could not sustain the drone's continued flight in the sky until the time of the data refresh. Not to mention if an encounter with the enemy were to happen, any acceleration or deceleration maneuvers during combat would deplete the Energy Points even faster.

If Yan Fei and Yang Qi were inside the drone, and it ran out of Energy Points during combat, the sitting drone would undoubtedly be destroyed by US Forces' missiles. In that scenario, Yan Fei's prospects would be grim.

By not traveling with the drone, Yan Fei could maximize the assurance that he wouldn't be detected by US Forces. Even if the drone were unfortunately discovered, it wouldn't compromise his own physical presence. Everything would be reversed once the data refresh time arrived.

The reason Yan Fei drove east rather than west had two motives. First, no one would expect Yang Qi to choose to drive deeper into the east deserts instead of west to leave The United States of America. Thus, the further Yang Qi drove east, the farther he was from the US West Coast and from leaving the country. However, after the drone data refresh, such a distance would be negligible to the drone.

The second reason was that the West Coast, specifically Los Angeles on the west side of the Rocky Mountains, was the second-largest city in the USA, bustling with activity and monitored by a multitude of Surveillance Cameras along the highways. If Yan Fei entered that area, he would be discovered by Monitoring personnel and his whereabouts exposed within minutes. In contrast, the east of the Rocky Mountains was a vast deserted wilderness, inaccessible and highly favorable for Yan Fei to conceal his tracks.

Under Yan Fei's control, the motorcycle sped along the highway at a very fast pace. This segment of the Rocky Mountains was the most desolate, with no homes along the roadside, and not a single car encountered. However, for safety reasons, after traveling some distance on this road, Yan Fei turned into an even more secluded highway, then made several turns to distance himself from the previous road.

An hour and a half later, Yan Fei arrived with Yang Qi at a place over a hundred kilometers from the previous canyon. They were still within the internal parts of the Rocky Mountains, but the area was even more remote, desolate, and uninhabited.

The drone was at altitude, and although it wasn't flying with Yan Fei, it could roughly see the environment around him. It found that Yan Fei was in one of the most complex terrains of the Rocky Mountains, highly conducive to hiding his presence. If he were to continue forward, he would leave the mountains and enter the vast, endless desert, which was utterly unsuitable for concealment.

Having understood the general situation, Yan Fei felt he had everything under control. He stopped the motorcycle, cleared the traces left on the road, then carried Yang Qi in one hand and the motorcycle in the other, running up the slope of the mountain. After traversing several treacherous segments and ascending over fifty meters above the highway, he discovered a concealed cave with several huge boulders in front of it.

Yan Fei put down Yang Qi and the motorcycle, checked the cave, and found it was about twenty meters deep and very dry. Pleased with the cave, he let Yang Qi enter as well. As for the motorcycle, Yan Fei casually carried it into the cave.

Yan Fei's strength was substantial now; even carrying hundreds of pounds while climbing didn't make him feel overly tired. Meanwhile, Yang Qi appeared foolish and dazed, silently holding his girlfriend's Ashes Urn and not uttering a word.

Seeing Yang Qi's state, Yan Fei couldn't help but sigh. He took out food and water from Universal Space and shared it with Yang Qi. Holding the urn with one hand and the food Yan Fei gave him with the other, Yang Qi ate without speaking.

Yan Fei planned to use this secluded cave as a hideout until Misty Island time reached midnight when the drone replenished its Energy Points, then leave the place. He was confident that he could hide here until the drone data refresh. When leaving the canyon, Yan Fei had carefully erased some of the traces he and Yang Qi had left behind. Not encountering any Surveillance Cameras or personnel on the way, and after bringing the motorcycle into the mountain cave, he was sure his tracks would not be discovered by The United States of America.
