Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 2007

Dawn had arisen. Bainbridge was half a day's drive away. Salazar didn't feel exhausted, but his eyes were sore after staring at the road for hours. Salazar slowly stopped the truck when he saw the car in front of him stop. He pulled his cap down and rolled the window down.

"What's the matter, mate? Traffic congested?"

The driver in the car beside Salazar answered, "Some kind of car crash ahead. Big time car crash. Highway to Bainbridge is under lockdown."

Sh*t! Salazar wasn't sure if it was their enemy, but he woke Matthew and the crown prince up.

"What's wrong, Salazar?" The crown prince yawned, still looking groggy.

Salazar briefed them about the situation, and Matthew was alert at once. "If this is a conspiracy, then we can't stay here for long. It'd be pointless. They would come after us anyway." He stared at the road in silence for a while before saying, "Salazar, we're leaving the highway. Take another path."

Salazar nodded and revved the truck up. He followed the traffic and left through the nearest exit. When they reached a 3-lane street, the gang tensed up.

"Keep your eyes peeled. Something feels off," Matthew said. The traffic was thinning out, but it shouldn't. The Holy Doctor Competition was drawing near, so the contestants and audience should be coming to Bainbridge in droves. The traffic should be congested, and yet there were barely any cars around.

Salazar slowed down. Half an hour of low-speed drive later, the other shoe finally dropped. In the rear-view mirror, they saw dozens of black off-road vehicles speeding toward them. "They're here, Matthew!" Salazar floored the gas pedal.
