Chapter 1052
Apart from filling up the tank, he had to prepare more rations, water, medicine, and such. After all, he did not know how many days he would be gone, so he had to prepare more.
After refueling, the two of them had a simple meal and began to wait for Carson and the others in the car.
Twenty minutes later, Carson also drove over.
“You drove too fast. I almost couldn’t keep up with you.”
“We’re not waiting for you.
“I don’t suppose there’s anyone ahead. You should fill the tank now.”
“Yes, yes,” Carson replied and refueled his car.
Bruce glanced at the sun. It was already noon. He could not delay any longer. “Let’s continue.” “Okay, Mr. Everett.”
Darcy drove in front, followed by Carson and Tom. Most of the supplies were in Carson’s car. After driving for another two hours, the cars had completely entered the no man’s land. The area within a circumference of a few hundred miles was deserted.
Just the natural conditions alone were life-threatening, not to mention other things. There was the Gorgon Desert, a swamp, a bottomless lake, and the dark river. All kinds of wild plants and animals grew savagely, making people exclaim at the secret workings of nature.
A screeching sound was heard as Darcy stopped the car.
A river had blocked the road ahead. If the car wanted to pass through, it had to detour.
“Mr. Everett, if we continue forward, we’ll reach the depths of the no man’s land.
“There won’t be any signal inside anymore. We can only go in on foot. What should we do?”
Bruce got out of the car and observed the surroundings.
“Darcy, Carson, stay here and wait.”
Darcy was worried. “Mr. Everett, let us go with you.”
Bruce frowned and refused. “No, someone has to pick us up here. If we all go in and encounter danger, there won’t even be anyone to come to our aid.”
When Darcy heard that, he said in a deep voice, “Then the two of them will stay here. I’ll If you go alone and encounter any danger, you won’t even have anyone to help you, Mr. Everett. That definitely won’t do.”

Bruce considered. “Yes, alright, that will do as well.”

After Bruce finished explaining, he and Darcy drove again, preparing to bypass the river and drive deeper into the no man’s land.
Carson and Tom stayed where they were and waited.
After Darcy circled 9 miles, he finally found a place where the water was shallow. The off-road vehicle could wade across.
After driving for more than an hour, the road conditions became more difficult. The wheels would
sink into soft mud or sand from time to time, and it was very difficult to drive out.
“Mr. Everett, the signal is down. We might need to use the map.”
Darcy stopped the car and took out a map to study the direction and destination.
“This spot should be the dark river that the Eprarian mentioned.”
Bruce looked at the location indicated by Darcy’s finger. “I think so.”
“Mr. Everett, look, there are traces of wheels on the ground.
“Unfortunately, the car can’t go any further. We might have to walk.”
When Bruce heard that, he frowned. “Bring me the map. Let me take a look.”
“Here you go.” Darcy handed the map to Bruce.
Bruce took the map and looked at it carefully.
This place was about dozens of miles from the dark river of Karchi Lake that the Eprarian mentioned.
With his and Darcy’s stamina, it would take at least three to four hours to walk there.
“It’s two o’clock in the afternoon now. If we want to go in on foot, we have to get to the dark river before six.
“It’s winter now. The sun sets early. At night, we can’t travel anymore.”
Darcy took a deep breath. “Yes, it’s a pity that the car can’t drive in, and the target is too obvious.”
Bruce thought for a few seconds and said decisively, “Carry the things on your back. We’ll walk over immediately…
“Okay, okay.”
