In fact, Chen Yingxiong had considered letting Dracula take him back to the UK before, because Dracula is Mr. Aurora, and he can reach any corner of the earth in seconds.
So he hid in the toilet and secretly called Dracula, but Dracula's answer disappointed him: "Have you ever seen light that can carry people away, hero? I can teleport myself, but I can't move people instantly..."
"Fuck, your powers are really low-level! Are you sorry? If your powers weren't awesome enough, no one would see them!"
"This is not an urban supernatural novel..." Dracula also felt aggrieved. "Anyway, I can come to you now and help you solve your problem, but I can't take you back to the UK. I'm afraid you have to prepare your own transportation..."
"I really can't count on you!" Chen Yingxiong said angrily, "Christine is more trustworthy at the critical moment!"
Therefore, Chen Yingxiong decided to accept Christine's advice and rent a car to drive all the way from Frankfurt to Liverpool...
Driving from Frankfurt to Liverpool is about more than 1,500 kilometers. If the road conditions are good and there are no traffic jams, it actually only takes fifteen hours to get there.
So driving from Frankfurt to Liverpool is not that incredible.
But in the current situation, driving to Liverpool is not necessarily reliable.
First of all, it is winter now. The winter weather in Europe has been very weird in the past two years, and we often encounter bad weather such as snowstorms.
Let’s just say it’s not even an hour since we drove from Frankfurt, and we can already see flying snowflakes in the headlights.
In addition to the bad weather, since most flights in Europe have been suspended, all passengers have shifted to road traffic. There will definitely be a lot of people driving out, which can easily cause highway congestion.
Europe's highways are full of cars, and once there's a traffic jam, it's almost like a parking lot.
So the difficulties for the two people along the way can be imagined.
※※※
On the highway heading west from Frankfurt, they had only traveled more than 20 kilometers when they encountered their first traffic jam. However, this traffic jam has nothing to do with the large number of passengers traveling by car. It is caused by traffic accidents caused by rain, snow and slippery roads, which caused road congestion.
The Audi off-road vehicle that Chen Yingxiong and the others rented was slowly squirming forward, being carried by the rolling traffic. It took half an hour to get through the congestion area.
To relieve anxiety, soothing music is played in the car.
But it was no use.
Looking at the heavy night outside the car and the flying snow rolled up by the car, Chen Yingxiong frowned tightly.
"Don't worry, Hero. We will arrive in Liverpool early. You still have time to take a shower." Cabrera comforted Chen Yingxiong while driving.
In fact, Cabrera had the hardest time along the way, because Cabrera could hardly rest. Her driving skills were several orders of magnitude higher than Chen Yingxiong's, and she was better than Chen Yingxiong in dealing with these complex road conditions and weather conditions. Experience, it is obviously better to let her drive.
"You could even take a nap now and maybe wake up and you'll be there?"
Chen Yingxiong shook his head: "I just slept on the plane, and I can't fall asleep at this time. I'd better talk to you. I'm afraid that if I fall asleep, it will be too boring for you to drive alone. It's easy to get tired when driving at night. , and you didn’t sleep much on the plane, right?”
"I can stay up for forty-eight hours, hero. You don't have to worry about me at all." Cabrera replied with a smile while driving.
Cabrera's driving skills are really good. When the road conditions are bad, most vehicles reduce their speed and drive slowly on the highway. However, Cabrera controls the car to weave through the traffic at a slow speed. slow.
If the road conditions are good and there is no traffic jam, maybe we can arrive in Liverpool before the game. Just like Cabrera said, we can also take a shower or something.
But things can't really go that smoothly.
After driving for more than ten kilometers, they once encountered a traffic jam. This time it was a traffic accident. This time the waiting time was slightly longer, reaching an hour. Because this time someone died and an ambulance came, everyone crowded to both sides of the road to make way for the ambulance, and the traffic remained motionless for most of the time.
So we drove all the way west, encountering many traffic jams along the way, most of which were caused by car accidents due to slippery roads in the dark, but overall it went smoothly.
At daybreak, they arrived in the Netherlands.
It was already half past nine in the morning of January 2nd, and there was less than a day and a half left before the game the next afternoon.
From the moment we entered the Netherlands, the car encountered an unprecedented traffic jam.
They were stuck in one place for an hour and a half and only moved one kilometer...
Chen Yingxiong, who was bored, turned on the radio and wanted to hear the current situation. The news he heard made him want to dismantle the car - "The Venlo section of the A67 highway is currently very busy due to a series of car accidents and a large number of passengers switching to cars." The traffic jam has stretched for twenty kilometers..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yingxiong, who was already restless, became even more agitated.
"**! Twenty kilometers away! Are there any people left alive? Why haven't I seen so many people in Europe before?"
Cabrera was like finding a place to get off the highway, but their car was in the middle lane. There were cars in front, back, left and right. They couldn't go anywhere. They could only be wrapped in this slow steel torrent and slowly move forward. .
Cabrera was also anxious, but she didn't show it in front of Chen Yingxiong. Chen Yingxiong was very irritable, so she had to stay calm. If she even became irritable, there would be troubles along the way.
In order to calm down Chen Yingxiong's mood, she could only find something to talk to Chen Yingxiong to distract Chen Yingxiong.
"Have I told you about my family, hero?"
Sure enough, this topic interested Chen Yingxiong. As soon as he heard Cabrera talking about this matter, he perked up: "No. But why did you take the initiative to talk about it? I always thought you didn't want to tell me about your family. of……"
"There's nothing to do now anyway, right?"
"Ah... that's right. Anyway, you are idle. I only know that you seem to have many younger brothers and sisters... By the way, how is your younger brother that you met that time doing now?"
"I don't want to gamble anymore, but that's it... Children from poor families in Naples are all born like this. I work hard to make money, just hoping to change their destiny. My brother admires you, and he also wants to imitate you. Go play football, but I don’t think he has talent..."
"That's not necessarily true, haha. Maybe he really has talent? If he wants to play football, let him come to Liverpool. I'll talk to Chen Xing and arrange for him to try out in Liverpool's youth team."
Cabrera shook his head: "Don't worry, he's still young."
"You're still young? How dare you sneak to France to gamble alone..." Chen Yingxiong clicked his tongue. He was quite naughty when he was a child, but he was never this arrogant. "Oh, the car in front has moved!"
Cabrera glanced at it, stepped on the accelerator lightly, and moved the car forward a little, sticking closely to the rear of the car in front.
"I have four brothers and three sisters in our family..." Cabrera continued.
Chen Yingxiong grinned. She really can give birth... Including Cabrera, doesn't it mean that Cabrera's mother gave birth to eight children? If this goes to China, how much will the fine be if you are caught?
However, the foreign population has increased significantly. If we have more children, the country might even provide money.
"My parents have been busy making money to support the family for as long as I can remember. I basically take care of them."
"It's really hard."
Cabrera smiled: "I didn't think so at that time. Anyway, I just played with them and didn't let others bully them. When I was very young, I fought with the boys in the neighborhood. I couldn't beat those boys at first. Those who were stronger than me later became unable to defeat me.”
Chen Yingxiong thought to himself: No wonder you are so good at fighting, you also have a foundation...
"So you don't grow your hair long because you don't want to be caught with it among everyone?" But Chen Yingxiong is also a veteran of frequent fights, so he immediately understood why Cabrera was unwilling to grow his hair.
Even though Cabrera's hair is now longer than before, it is still very limited and far from the "shoulder-length hair".
"Yes at first, but then it became a habit. Shorter hair can save a lot of time on hair care."
"You are really a woman who doesn't like to dress up... Hey, if you like to dress up, I think many women will be envious and jealous, haha!"
Cabrera smiled and accepted Chen Yingxiong's compliments to her.
In this way, the two people chatted and slowly moved forward.
When the two of them squeezed out of the traffic jam, it was already past noon.
There are still more than 60 kilometers to the Belgian border ahead.
This section was slightly more enjoyable, but this "ease" was compared to the previous more than 20 kilometers of traffic jam. In fact, the traffic volume on the road was very heavy. Even if Cabrera tried his best, it would be difficult for him to run more than one mile. Hundreds of speeds per hour.
※※※
When the two of them entered Belgium, it was after three o'clock in the afternoon. The winter weather was not good and it got dark very early.
The two hungry people decided to stop and have a meal before going on the road.
According to Chen Yingxiong, he originally wanted Cabrera to sleep for a while, but this would waste too much time, and Cabrera firmly disagreed.
There was no choice but to switch to Chen Yingxiong to drive while Cabrera rested.
In fact, Cabrera disagreed with this. Because driving for a long time is very tiring. Not only is the body unable to move freely, but the high mental stress also aggravates fatigue. Chen Yingxiong had to rush back to participate in a high-confrontation and high-intensity game, instead of going straight home to sleep.
If you spend too much energy and energy on this journey, what's the point of rushing back?
However, Chen Yingxiong firmly disagreed with Cabrera continuing to drive, saying that he was Superman and there was no fatigue problem at all, and he had already slept.
The two argued for a while and finally reached an agreement. Chen Yingxiong drove for five hours until ten o'clock in the evening, then handed the car to Cabrera, and then he went to rest.
The two of them had a simple dinner at a roadside fast food restaurant, then went to the gas station next door to fill up their gas, and then hit the road again.

Martin O'Neill has been paying attention to Chen Yingxiong's schedule. He made several phone calls to Chen Yingxiong. When he first heard that he was stuck on the road, his heart beat fast at that time. Later, when he came to Belgium, he felt a little relieved.
The route Chen Yingxiong took was to go directly west from Frankfurt, take the A12 and A10 highways, then take the A2 for more than 400 kilometers, get on the A40 and enter the Netherlands, and then enter Belgium from the Netherlands.
Passing through Antwerp, Ghent, Bruges and other places, turn onto the coastline, enter France along the coastline, and then pass through Dunkirk to Calais.
In Calais, their cars will take a train dedicated to transporting various passenger vehicles and enter the UK through the Channel Tunnel.
After arriving in the UK, we headed northwest, diagonally across the UK, and arrived at Liverpool.
Now that they are in Belgium, the long journey is halfway over.
Although it is already past 8pm on the 2nd, there are less than twenty hours left before the game starts at 4:30pm tomorrow.
Can Chen Yingxiong make it back? [Provided by No One Can Stop the Sail Update Team]
