~7 min read 1,283 words

The owner frowned: "I've heard of it, but I don't know much."

Although progress was slow, they were not discouraged and still persisted in looking for clues.

Day after day, they ran around the small city, trying to collect more information about the Owl organization.

Chu Tian received news from his friend in the south.

He said excitedly: "My friend told me they discovered a stronghold of the Owl organization."

Chen Chen Zihao was invigorated: "This is good news, we finally have a breakthrough."

Ding Ding Xiaoyu was full of hope: "We must take this opportunity to understand them deeply." ===== CHAPTER 938 =====

They decided to head south to investigate.

On a dilapidated bus, they embarked on a new journey.

The scenery outside the window kept changing, while the goal in their hearts became clearer.

Chen Chen Zihao said firmly: "This time, we must drag the Owl organization out."

Chu Tian indicated: "We cannot let them do as they please anymore."

The bus bumped along the country road; the setting sun slanted down, and the fields were filled with the scent of harvest.

Suddenly, the bus bumped violently, made a loud noise, then gradually slowed down, and finally stopped completely.

Chen Chen Zihao was surprised: "What’s going on? Why did the bus stop?"

Chu Tian frowned: "I don't know either, let’s go down and take a look."

They got off the bus with the other passengers and saw that the front tire of the bus was flat, and some strange fragments were scattered around.

Ding Ding Xiaoyu was doubtful: "What is this? It looks like... bird feathers?"

Chu Tian picked up a feather: "It seems to be an owl feather."

Chen Chen Zihao felt something was wrong: "Could it be that people from the Owl organization deliberately broke the bus?"

They looked at each other, a trace of unease growing in their hearts.

The bus driver spread his hands helplessly: "It can't be fixed, you’ll have to find your own way."

Chen Chen Zihao suggested: "We cannot stay here, we must continue forward."

Chu Tian echoed: "Yes, let’s walk."

Ding Ding Xiaoyu looked around nervously: "We must be careful."

The night grew darker, and they walked along the country path on foot.

Everything was silent, and the stars twinkled in the night sky, but it gave off an eerie feeling.

Chen Chen Zihao shone his flashlight to illuminate the road ahead: "We must get out of this area."

Chu Tian looked around vigilantly: "I feel like something isn't right here."

Ding Ding Xiaoyu said nervously: "I have that feeling too, as if someone is watching us in the dark."

They quickened their pace, trying to shake off this eerie atmosphere.

Suddenly, Chu Tian heard the sound of an owl in the distance: "Listen, it’s the sound of an owl."

Chen Chen Zihao said nervously: "Let’s walk faster, there might be danger."

Ding Ding Xiaoyu’s teeth chattered with nervousness: "This place is really too eerie."

The night grew darker, and they pushed forward desperately, as if wanting to escape from this eerie land.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning tore through the sky, followed by a rumble of thunder.

The rain poured down, hitting them, and their clothes were soon soaked through.

They and the other passengers scrambled to find a place to shelter from the rain.

Chen Chen Zihao shouted: "Everyone stay close, let’s find a place to shelter from the rain!"

Chu Tian looked around worriedly: "There should be an abandoned shack nearby, we can go there to shelter from the rain."

Ding Ding Xiaoyu worried: "I hope it can provide us with enough shelter."

They led the other passengers through the heavy rain, searching for that abandoned shack. ===== CHAPTER 939 =====

All around were dense woods, blocking the sky and making it even harder for them to identify the direction. The rain dripped, and moisture filled the air.

Chen Chen Zihao warned: "Everyone be careful of the mud under your feet, don't fall."

Chu Tian tried hard to see clearly ahead: "I think we should be almost there."

Ding Ding Xiaoyu looked at the passengers beside her worriedly: "Is everyone okay? Let’s get through this together."

Suddenly, a passenger pointed ahead and shouted: "There! I see a shack!"

Everyone looked in that direction and indeed saw a dilapidated shack.

They hurried over and pushed open the creaking door.

Chen Chen Zihao let out a sigh of relief: "Great, we finally found a place to shelter from the rain."

Chu Tian nodded: "Yes, I hope the rain stops soon."

Ding Ding Xiaoyu looked regretfully at the clothes that had already been soaked by the rain: "Our clothes are all soaked, we need to find a way to dry them."

The passengers entered the shack one after another, took off their wet coats, and sat together to keep warm.

Rainwater dripped down from the roof, making a pattering sound.

Chen Chen Zihao poked his head out to look at the rain outside: "The rain is getting heavier, we might have to stay here for a while."

Chu Tian asked with concern: "Is everyone okay? Is anyone injured?"

The passengers shook their heads, indicating there were no problems.

Ding Ding Xiaoyu tried to boost morale: "Don't worry, the rain will stop eventually. Let’s wait together."

The shack was cold and damp, and the air was filled with the smell of mold.

The passengers shivered, trying to get as close to each other as possible to keep warm.

Rainwater kept seeping into the shack, and the floor was covered in water.

One passenger couldn't help but complain: "This is all that driver's fault; if it weren't for his bus breaking down, we wouldn't be suffering in this godforsaken place."

Another passenger echoed: "Yes, and he’s irresponsible, leaving us here to fend for ourselves."

The driver heard their complaints, and his face became even uglier: "I didn't want this either, who knew the bus would suddenly break down?"

The passengers expressed their dissatisfaction one after another, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

The heavy rain was still pouring down, as if wanting to drown them.

Chen Chen Zihao mediated: "Stop arguing, at a time like this we should be united; arguing will only make us feel worse."

Chu Tian also advised: "Yes, we need to find a way to solve the problem now, not complain."

Ding Ding Xiaoyu tried to ease the atmosphere: "We can try to find some dry grass or wood and start a fire to keep warm."

The passengers heard her suggestion and agreed one after another.

They began to look for items in the shack that could be used to start a fire.

One passenger found some dry grass: "These dry grass can be used to start a fire."

Another passenger brought over a few pieces of wood: "These pieces of wood can also burn."

Chen Chen Zihao took out a lighter: "Okay, I’ll start the fire."

The flames ignited, and the temperature in the shack gradually rose.

The passengers gathered around the fire to keep warm, and the expressions on their faces relaxed slightly.

Chu Tian suggested: "We can take turns watching the fire to ensure it doesn't go out."

Chen Chen Zihao nodded: "Good idea, I’ll go first."

In the glow of the fire, the atmosphere in the shack seemed a bit better.

The passengers began to comfort each other and get through this difficult time together.

Ding Ding Xiaoyu looked at the heavy rain outside and vowed silently: "We must get through this difficulty and continue investigating the Owl organization."

The shack was cold and damp, and the smell of mold filled the air. ===== CHAPTER 940 =====
