Chapter 917: Chapter 917: Setting Out Again

Facing the morning sunshine.

Lin Feng drove the Mercedes G500, speeding down the road and disappearing into the streets of Rongcheng.

Soon Lin Feng’s car had left the urban area of Rongcheng and got on the highway.

The fast-retreating scenery was all left behind by Lin Feng’s car.

At this time, there were very few vehicles on the highway.

Lin Feng stepped on the accelerator, pushing the speed to one hundred and twenty, heading towards the magical 318 National Highway.

is just a set of numbers to ordinary people.

But to travelers, it’s a pilgrimage route.

From Rongcheng to Lhasa 2140 km is the initial dream of all travelers and also the ultimate dream.

The scenery and charm along the 318 National Highway make travel enthusiasts and photographers yearn for it.

The 318 National Highway is known as "the road one must take in a lifetime," attracting people to visit.

In a lifetime, one must have such a road trip.

Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi were extremely looking forward to it at this moment.

Soon, Lin Feng’s black Mercedes G500 appeared on the 318 National Highway.

"Wow, Lin Feng, it’s so beautiful!"

Zhang Yuxi exclaimed with surprise, pointing at the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

Lin Feng glanced gently in the direction Zhang Yuxi was pointing, and he was indeed astonished.

The two were filled with anticipation for the journey ahead.

Soon it was noon, and after Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi had a simple lunch at the service area and took a short break, they continued their journey.

Lin Feng wanted to reach Daocheng Yading before nightfall.

Daocheng Yading, in a previous life of Lin Feng, became known to everyone because of a movie called "Passing Through Your World," famed as a human paradise.

Lin Feng drove rapidly along the way...

Soon, at half-past three in the afternoon, Lin Feng’s car had already entered the vicinity of Daocheng Yading.

The Yading Nature Reserve has a continental monsoon plateau-type humid climate.

Due to the relative altitude difference of 3000 meters within the area, the vertical differentiation of the climate is notable.

Below an altitude of 3200 meters is the mountain warm humid zone, 3200-3600 meters is the mountain temperate zone, 3600-4300 meters is the mountain cold temperate zone, 4300-4600 meters is the alpine sub-cold zone, and above 4600 meters is the alpine cold flow ice and snow zone.

Therefore, as they just entered the realm of Daocheng Yading, Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi felt a distinct difference.

Zhang Yuxi unknowingly shivered.

Seeing this, Lin Feng quickly turned on the car’s air conditioning system and took the prepared clothes from the back seat, putting them on Zhang Yuxi.

At this moment, Lin Feng’s Master-Level Car Driving Skill showed its value.

He held the steering wheel with one hand, effortlessly and perfectly controlling the car’s movement.

As they had already left the highway, Lin Feng’s car speed gradually slowed down.

The two drove while admiring the scenery along the way.

The endless barren land, with weeds growing between the stones.

A strong and distinct atmosphere struck their hearts.

The mountains in the distance, covered with ice and snow all year round, faintly visible between the ever-present clouds, seemed like a heavenly palace of immortals.

Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi were deeply shaken.

Suddenly, Zhang Yuxi was attracted by a groundhog not far away.

"Oh..."

"Lin Feng, Lin Feng, look, a groundhog!"

"So cute!!"

Zhang Yuxi said excitedly, her little face full of delight.

Lin Feng turned the steering wheel, heading towards the wasteland beside the road, and then hit the brake, bringing the car to a steady stop by the roadside.

At this time, Lin Feng followed Zhang Yuxi’s direction and looked over.

"Oh..."

Lin Feng was attracted not by the groundhog Zhang Yuxi pointed out, standing with its little hands holding some unknown nut to eat.

But by two other groundhogs rolling around on the ground not far from it.

Lin Feng watched curiously.

Uh...

This...

Seems like spring has arrived in the animal kingdom for groundhogs.

Zhang Yuxi originally watched the cute groundhog eating with heart-shaped eyes.

Suddenly, she noticed Lin Feng’s inexplicable expression.

Then she followed Lin Feng’s gaze and saw there were indeed two other groundhogs not far away.

After observing seriously for a while, she woke up to the realization.

Lin Feng, that bad guy...

Zhang Yuxi glanced at Lin Feng and saw that this bad guy was watching the two groundhogs intently.

Indeed, Lin Feng was appreciating this rare spectacle, perhaps something that only happens once in a hundred years!

Lin Feng marveled silently in his heart.

After a short while, the two groundhogs lay on the ground, their paws embraced together, like a loving couple.

Lin Feng was stunned!

Were they becoming spirits?!

Such human-like actions and expressions...

Maybe they just needed a cigarette to make it perfect?

At this moment, Lin Feng snapped back to reality and saw Zhang Yuxi’s little face blushing as she watched him.

Uh...

Lin Feng touched his nose awkwardly.

He spoke somewhat embarrassedly.

"Just curious, purely curious..."

Zhang Yuxi rolled her eyes at him, snorted through her nose, and said nothing more.

"Lin Feng, can I get out of the car to see them up close?"

Zhang Yuxi asked with a hint of desire in her eyes.

Lin Feng glanced around, not noticing anything dangerous.

Thinking that online resources say groundhogs are generally non-aggressive.

Although wild groundhogs may carry germs, being cautious about not touching them should be okay.

So, he nodded.

Zhang Yuxi was thrilled to see Lin Feng agreed!

Lin Feng affectionately rubbed her head.

Then the two took some snacks from the car and walked toward the groundhogs.

The groundhogs were not afraid of people, with their small eyes turning curiously as they looked at Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi.

Then Lin Feng tossed the nuts in his hand in front of the groundhog.

The groundhog was startled at first and jumped back a few steps.

Then it turned back to look at Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi, seeing that they stayed in place, cautiously moved forward a few steps.

Zhang Yuxi watched the groundhog’s cute appearance with excitement.

Although she really wanted to touch the groundhog’s adorable body, she was afraid of the groundhog’s seemingly sharp claws.

Plus, without Lin Feng’s permission, Zhang Yuxi dared not move forward.

The groundhog probed a few more steps and found that the two humans still made no move, it then became bold.

It eagerly grabbed the nuts Lin Feng tossed and gnawed while holding them in its paws.

Zhang Yuxi watched the groundhog holding the nuts with its little paws, nibbling with its mouth pouting, and was utterly delighted—it was truly adorable!

At this time, the two groundhogs not far away, just finished being intimate and in ’sage time’, also noticed the commotion here.

It seemed there was food!

So the two groundhogs holed up, landed on all fours, and ran over here.

Noticing more nuts on the ground, they began to fight over them.

The two groundhogs started squealing.

Standing on two legs, with their claws in front, squealing "Ah! Ah!! Ah!!"

There was a beguiling tone to the sound, making people stifle laughter!

Then they started fighting, no longer as loving as before!

Lin Feng and Zhang Yuxi were stunned by the scene in front of them, especially the beguiling "ah ah ah" sounds!
