Chapter 13
An Unfortunate Family Encounter

The next day at noon.

Mo Luo drove tirelessly through the night, and after several hours of high-speed driving, he had reached the heart of New Mexico.

This place was desolate, a rare desert hilly region in America.

And this was also once a major experimental site in the United States, with things like nuclear bomb tests being common, so there were almost no people living here.

Mo Luo sped recklessly along this road, completely unconcerned about whether there might be pedestrians on the road.

But what made Mo Luo speechless was that although his car had been modified into a magic war chariot, its fuel consumption was a bit too high.

Only about ten hours had passed, and his tank of gas was already running low, but fortunately, he saw a small shop not far ahead.

In the United States, these kinds of convenience stores located in the suburbs usually have gas pumps, after all, road trips are very popular here, and merchants naturally connect oil pipes or sell gasoline in barrels to increase their revenue.

When Mo Luo drove close, he saw a middle-aged white man in his sixties, with graying hair, holding a gas pump and refueling a larger pickup truck.

He had an unknown cigar in his mouth and was chatting with a stout middle-aged man with a large beard beside him with a fake smile on his face.

The bearded man also responded with a fake smile, but he was mostly talking to his wife.

Mo Luo found this scene a bit familiar, and after thinking back carefully, he realized it was similar to the "Wrong Turn" genre, "The Hills Have Eyes."

Speaking of this movie, the two scenes that Mo Luo remembered most vividly were the scene where the patriarch of this family, Sheriff Beard, was barbecued and the scene where his daughter was raped by the deformed man.

It can only be said that it's worthy of an R-rated movie, ordinary people can't really watch such stimulating scenes!

Although he remembered the scenes from the movie, Mo Luo didn't intend to help them, after all, respecting other people's fates is also a virtue!

Mo Luo parked his car behind the RV, opened the door and got out.

He didn't interrupt the conversation between the shop owner and the bearded sheriff, but took out a cigarette and started smoking nearby.

This scene, full of masculine charm, was just seen by the girl who had just gotten off the pickup truck.

At this moment, Brenda Carter blushed, feeling a surge of gratitude and joy for the initiator of this trip.

Originally, she thought this trip wouldn't allow her to encounter a suitable and handsome guy, but right before reaching their destination, she actually encountered such a perfect handsome guy.

Glancing at Mo Luo, then at the Bentley GT he had just driven, Brenda carefully returned to the car and quickly pulled out a makeup box.

At this time, Bobby Carter, who remained in the car, felt a strange feeling when he saw his sister acting out of character.

"Hey, Brenda, what are you doing, didn't you say you were going to the bathroom? Why are you back in the car, and why are you fiddling with your ugly box?"

Brenda was actually very pretty, and she looked like a young Daenerys, but in the eyes of her younger brother, Bobby, Brenda was just an ugly monster, or most younger brothers can't tell how their own sisters are pretty.

Clearly, Brenda's anger level immediately soared to the top after hearing those three words, "ugly box." She clenched her free fist and gave Bobby a chestnut.

Immediately, Bobby's pig-like scream rang out in the car.

Brenda quickly covered her brother's mouth, then peeked at Mo Luo who was still smoking, before glaring and threatening.

"Behave yourself, shut your mouth, I'm in a good mood today, I won't bother with you. You better not interrupt my good time!"

Without caring if Bobby had listened, she pushed him aside and beautifully reapplied her lipstick.

After doing all this, Brenda pulled her halter dress, showcasing her proud figure to the fullest.

Speaking of Brenda's figure, it was truly top-notch, at least high school seniors in their late teens generally wouldn't have this scale, this must be what they call a natural talent!

Bobby looked at Brenda with resentment after she got out of the car, then clenched his fist and swung it a few times before feeling relieved.

The reason why Bobby is so miserable today is thanks to Bob Carter, the daughter slave. Every time Bobby annoys his two sisters, he will be given a "seven wolves of love" by his old father, Bob Carter.

In order to avoid being beaten, he could only endure the humiliation!

…………

Brenda, after getting out of the car, didn't have the reserved demeanor of an Eastern girl, instead, she went straight to Mo Luo, extended her fair little hand, and said boldly.

"Hey, handsome, are you a road trip enthusiast too?"

Mo Luo had noticed Brenda just now, but he didn't have the intention of taking the initiative, after all, the one who takes the initiative first is not necessarily the prey, but might be a sheep who throws itself into the net.

Looking at Brenda, who was wearing a halter top and blue jeans, showing off her figure, Mo Luo gently grasped the small hand she had extended, touched it for a few seconds, then released it politely and replied.

"You could say so, but it's mainly about getting back to Washington!"

Mo Luo's answer wasn't entirely a lie to Brenda, after all, whether it was when he came or now when he's going back, he had encountered many extraordinary events on the road, there were bound to be some adventures and fights.

So this should also be considered a road trip, right?

"Wow, you're from Washington too? It's so fate that we've met!"

Brenda's mood became even better after hearing that Mo Luo was also from Washington, now she had an excuse to keep chatting.

Looking at the excited Brenda, Mo Luo felt a little strange, he remembered that Brenda's family was not from Washington, but thinking that this was reality, not a movie, Mo Luo quickly stopped dwelling on this.

So he asked knowingly.

"It's pretty coincidental, but where are you guys going? Are you going back after finishing your trip? Or have you just arrived in New Mexico?"

"Our family has also just arrived in New Mexico, but our destination is San Diego and Los Angeles."

Brenda revealed their itinerary without any intention of deception. A young girl like her who hasn't experienced the cruelty of society yet has no idea how dangerous her current actions are.

If they encountered anyone with malicious intentions, they could ambush and attack Brenda's family along their route.

But Mo Luo wasn't that kind of person, and he wasn't interested in Brenda's family's little bit of wealth.

"That's a coincidence, I just came from Los Angeles."

I heard before leaving that there would be a large-scale concert in Los Angeles recently, you guys wouldn't be going for that, would you?"

Mo Luo wasn't lying to Brenda about this, the concert did exist, and John's girlfriend even gave him two tickets for the inside, but he and Liv didn't plan on going.

Brenda's eyes lit up when she heard about the large-scale concert, but then they dimmed again, she knew their family's situation.

Although her old man was a small police officer in a police station in Washington, his salary wasn't very good, and the monthly expenses in Washington were also relatively high, so she was afraid that she would miss this large-scale concert in Los Angeles.

"Haha, we should be going, after all, I saw on the online announcement that this banquet will be the most grand and extravagant one in recent years, if we miss it, we won't have another chance to see it."

Brenda forcefully concealed her disappointment and tried to appear relaxed and cheerful.

Seeing Brenda's current appearance, Mo Luo could tell at a glance that she was disappointed, but he didn't expose her, instead, he changed the subject.

"By the way, which road are you planning to take? When I came, I saw many forks in the road, some of them don't even know where they lead, so you guys should take a new map!"

"Hey, Brenda, we should get in the car and go!"

Just then, a somewhat gruff voice interrupted Brenda before she could speak.

Mo Luo looked in the direction of the voice and saw Brenda's father, Bob Carter, walking towards them.

Bob walked over, looked Mo Luo up and down, and after not feeling any malice from Mo Luo, he stretched out his hand and said.

"Hi buddy, I'm Bob Carter, Brenda's father."

"Hi Mr. Carter, I'm Mo Luo."

Mo Luo shook Bob's hand and then retracted his hand.

"Chinese name?" Bob looked Mo Luo up and down again in doubt.

In his memory, only Chinese people had the surname Mo.

Mo Luo nodded and didn't deny Bob's words.

Seeing this, Bob didn't ask anything further, instead, he smiled and looked at his daughter and said.

"It's past time to make friends, if you feel like you hit it off with this little brother, why don't you add his contact information and make a date later!"

He had also seen Mo Luo's luxury car just now, coupled with Mo Luo's handsome appearance, his polite speech, and his attire, old Bob was sure that this was a polite young man, so he didn't object to his daughter's interaction with Mo Luo.

Being said this by her father, even Brenda, who was bold, blushed, but she still took out her phone and added Mo Luo's contact information.

After doing this, old Bob waved to Mo Luo, then took Brenda and got in the car.

Mo Luo felt a bit puzzled by Bob's goodwill, but in any case, it was still a good thing.

After Bob's family drove away, Mo Luo drove the car to the gas station, handed the money to the malicious owner, and looked at the New Mexico map posted on the wall.

The owner had specially marked some of the small roads, as if he was intentionally guiding people onto those roads.

However, Mo Luo didn't intend to expose the owner's behavior, but instead memorized the places where these roads intersected.
