Chapter 294 Telford

When the bus arrived in Telford, it was around noon, and the weather was quite hot.

Kelly was busy applying new sunscreen as soon as she got off the bus. Lanny lit his pipe. His left arm was injured during a mission, and he would ache after sitting in the car for a long time, so he had to use some special herbs to relieve it.

"What kind of cigarette are you smoking? I have never smelled this smell." Kent fanned away the smoke with his hand.

"Exclusive formula. I'll see if there is still a bus to Brichester."

Kent nodded and motioned him to go.

"I hate this kind of country place." Kelly complained as she looked at the street outside the station. There was a dirty butcher shop, a grocery store with a faded awning, and a shabby tobacco shop.

The locals sitting in front of the store stared at the outsiders with distrustful expressions, looking at their clothes and luggage, as if these people would bring bad luck.

"I don't like the look of the locals either."

"Don't stand at the door, Miss Kelly, come in and sit for a while. It's normal for people in small places to be wary. If you have seen the natives in the rainforest, you will understand that this is nothing."

Kelly stuffed the sunscreen into her backpack, raised her middle finger to the middle-aged men across the street who looked at her with lecherous eyes, and then followed Kent into the station hall.

The two found an inconspicuous place in the hall and sat down, waiting for Lanny to bring back news. There were not many passengers in the station, most of them were transit passengers.

Not long after, Lanny came back, he spit out the cigarette in his mouth and said: "Looks like we have to stay here overnight?"

"What?" Kelly spread her hands in surprise, "Is there only one bus a day?"

"You are right. The information Quentin found was five years ago. The bus here was changed three years ago. There is only one bus to Brychester a day." Lanny said.

"Damn it. I don't want to stay in this damn place all night. Did you see the way people outside look at us?"

Kent waved his hand and said, "Calm down, Miss Kelly. Lanny, is there a car going to the iron bridge? We can go there to take a boat to Brychester."

"The heavy rain a few days ago caused the river to rise. Most ships are prohibited from leaving the port. I'm afraid there are no ships that can take us anywhere."

"For God's sake. Let Mike drive us there. It's not far anyway. It only takes two hours." Kelly still insisted on going to Brychester.

"I'll talk to Mike." Lanny said.

"No need. Let's find a place and eat something first. Let Mike and the others come too." Kent said, "There's no need to be so anxious. We still have to explain the current situation to them."

Hearing this, Kelly tactfully said nothing more.

Ten minutes later, they sat down in a dirty snack bar. Mike went to the front desk to order food, and the others chose two nearby places to sit.

The greasy fan on the ceiling was turning slowly, and a jazz song with a sizzling sound came from the radio.

"This place reminds me of my childhood." Kent frowned. Like Kelly, he also disliked this backward and old place.

Compared to this, he would rather go to the forest, the prairie or other natural places. This place is really boring.

Sticky tables, flies everywhere, mice hiding in the dark, and those xenophobic eyes, all of which he couldn't stand.

Mike returned to his seat with a few bottles of beer, "They only have beer here."

Plus, there is no decent bar. Kent complained in his heart, but his face still had that calm expression.

"Everyone, I want to announce something." Kent coughed a few times, and then told Mike and the others the decision he made on the bus.

Mike didn't object, and neither did Selina. But Xing Ze, he smiled and asked: "I don't object to this, but can you ensure that our right to know is the same as yours?"

"Of course." Kent vowed, "You are just in the rear, not isolated from the world. No matter what we know, we will tell you."

But lost the opportunity to participate. Xing Ze thought, he nodded, "If that's the case, I have no objection."

Kent continued: "This is also for your good. You know that this mission is quite serious, we must be foolproof. Okay, now, I have to announce a bad news."

After the eyes of the people around him turned to him, Kent said: "There is no shuttle bus to Brychester here."

"How could it be? The information clearly says..." Selina, who had been silent all the time, took out her notes and looked through them.

"Don't waste your energy, Selina. Those materials are not the latest. And now they are different." Kelly said to her roommate.

"It's okay, we have a van." Mike opened a bottle of beer, "It only takes two hours to get to Brychester from here."

"Do you know the way?" Lanny asked.

Mike took a sip of beer, lowered his head and thought for a while, then replied: "We have a map, ask the people here. Some drivers at the station must know the way."

"Or we can stay here for one night and wait until tomorrow morning to take the shuttle bus. Just like today, the van follows behind." Xing Ze suggested.

"I won't stay here, Mr. Quentin." Kelly objected, "There is no decent hotel here at all."

"In fact, there is one on this street. There is one at the end of the street."

"Are you sure that hotel is accommodating?"

"I went in to check it out. But it looks good."

"Okay, okay." Kent interrupted, "Let's eat, take a break and then set off. There's nothing to argue about. Mike, you go to the station and ask for directions.

"The rest of you go and ask around to see if anyone here knows how to get to Brestchester. "

After finishing their meal at the bistro, the group dispersed and began to inquire about the route to Brestchester in Telford.

The two women were arranged to drive to the town's post office to inquire about the news and see if there was a place to stay so that they might need to stay overnight.

As for the men, for safety reasons, they conducted investigations in pairs. Mike and Xing Ze went to the station to try their luck, while Kent and Lanny went to the local freight center.

The sultry weather made Mike sweat after walking for a while. He unscrewed the mineral water in his hand and drank half a bottle in one breath.

"Damn, why is it so hot in this weather."

"We have to walk for a while." Xing Ze recalled the location of the station while keeping a vigilant eye on the surroundings.

After the bus arrived at the station, he asked Mike to drive around to familiarize himself with the terrain. Since being attacked by the snake man, he has become more alert than ever.
