Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming

In the early hours of the morning, a van was speeding along a desolate and steep mountain road.

In the darkness of night, the light from the car lights danced on the rugged mountain road. Every pothole on the road was like an unknown trap, waiting to give the truck an unexpected blow.

A group of people squatted inside the carriage with their backs against it, their bodies swaying constantly as the road bumped.

Everyone was huddled together, shoulders against shoulders and hips against hips.

During the bumpy ride, someone's head hit the iron sheet of the carriage; or someone lost balance and hurriedly pulled the person next to him, but still fell on his butt.

But no one had the time to complain or laugh. The carriage was filled with a tense and heavy atmosphere. Everyone was silent, accumulating strength for the next rescue work.

Sean's back was pressed tightly against the inner wall of the car, his eyes closed quietly, not knowing what he was thinking. His ears were filled with the whistling sound of the engine and the clanging sound of the tires hitting the ground.

Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed Sean's arm, pulling him out of his meditation. It turned out that Abigail had moved closer to the middle-aged man next to her, who smelled of cigarettes and alcohol.

Sean reached out and patted Abigail gently, then moved inward to give her some space.

Abigail half-crouched, moving closer to Sean, until half of her body was almost leaning on Sean's shoulder. A head of long purple hair entered Sean's sight, and a faint fragrance of cosmos filled Sean's nose, which was very refreshing and dispelled some of the solemn atmosphere.

"Master, do you think Uncle Geller will be okay?" Abigail was unsure. In order to find spiritual support, she grabbed the corner of Sean's clothes and muttered to herself.

"It'll be okay!" Sean grabbed Abby's hand and held it tightly, speaking firmly.

His thoughts were a little disturbed. After a while, Sean shifted his gaze to the shovel held in his other hand, staring blankly.

Another sharp turn caused everyone in the car to jump around again. This is how the winding mountain road is, with a bend every five steps.

Out of confidence in his driving skills, Pam only slowed down slightly and planned to pass the curve quickly.

Suddenly, while turning, Pam slammed on the brakes. The vehicle made a sharp braking sound, and the tires locked instantly, and slid forward with remaining momentum.

There was a bottomless cliff on the side, and in front of them was a huge tree across the middle of the road, blocking their way out of the bend.

Under the light of car lights, the giant tree cast a huge shadow covering the road, like a giant beast blocking the road and waiting for vehicles to fall into its trap, which is chilling.

Pam held the steering wheel tightly to prevent the vehicle from losing control and rolling over. She kept releasing the brake with her right foot in the hope that the tire would start turning again, and her left foot pressed on the clutch to lower the gear.

The bulging veins on his forehead and the fingertips that turned white from exerting too much force all showed how critical the situation was.

The vehicle made a low roar, and the tires made a harsh sound when rubbing against the ground. Sean felt a huge force pulling his body, as if to throw him out of the car. A group of people rolled together in the car, like a string of candied haws.

At the critical moment, the vehicle drifted along the guardrail and avoided the fate of running off the cliff and causing death, and the vehicle body returned to normal.

Finally, the car was slowly brought under control. Pam pulled the handbrake, and the entire van stopped just as the messy branches scraped the front windshield.

It was a false alarm. After shaking his head which was a little dizzy from the fall, Sean realized that he had unconsciously held Abigail in his arms.

"Cough cough~" Sean coughed a few times and loosened his arms. At this time, Abigail seemed to come back to her senses from the shock. Seeing that she was hugging Sean tightly like a koala, she immediately broke away like a frightened deer.

Seeing Abigail, who usually did things in a carefree manner, showing a feminine demeanor, Sean couldn't help but laughed out loud.

In return, Abigail retaliated with an angry elbow, causing Sean to grit his teeth and gasp in pain.

"Is everyone okay?" Pam asked, turning her head, with a hint of relief after tension in her voice.

"He's fine, but his heart wouldn't be able to take it if it happens again." Someone responded, and this self-deprecating remark eased the tense atmosphere a lot.

The road ahead was blocked, so Sean pulled Abigail out of the car and followed the rescue townspeople.

In the darkness, only the car lights illuminated the ruins ahead. The originally winding mountain road was now covered with thick snow and mudslides, and the original road surface was almost unrecognizable. The cedars on the roadside were knocked over by the avalanche, and the thick trunks were broken across the road, preventing Sean from moving forward.

Mayor Lewis' pickup truck was also parked not far away. There was a long brake mud mark behind the car. There was no one in the car. It seemed that the person had left the car and walked to the scene of the accident.

"Hello~Hello!" Pam picked up the walkie-talkie and tried to contact Lewis. The red light on the walkie-talkie kept flashing in the dark night, just like people's anxious mood.

Only a rustling background noise was heard, and for a long while, there was no response.

"Fuck it!" The grumpy Pam put the walkie-talkie in her pocket and punched the driver's door frame.

Several older townspeople in the crowd had already put on mining lamps and were walking towards Pam with the lights on, having a heated discussion next to the fallen tree in front of the car.

"It's too late! How far are we to the rescue site? Let's abandon our cars and walk forward, and take care of each other." One of them made a suggestion.

"We can't contact Lewis now. Do we know where he is? It's so dark now. Any rash action will only increase the chance of danger. Don't let yourself get involved instead of being able to save the person." Another old man retorted.

The townspeople, lacking a backbone, were at loggerheads with each other.

"Uncles, please listen to me for a few words." Seeing that the argument was getting more and more intense, Sean walked forward with a flashlight and shouted loudly to interrupt their argument.

Status and position are earned through strength. On the way here, Sean was thinking about whether he should show his own uniqueness.

First, human lives are at stake. The more effort you put in, the more hope there is for a successful rescue.

Second, time waits for no one. The sacred tree can only last for another ten years. With such a short period of development time, it must demonstrate certain capabilities as soon as possible and gain some say in the town.

As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers. Sean alone cannot accomplish this important mission. For a remote town where there has not been a college student for several years, relying on the identity of a high school student who returned from the city is far from enough. Sean urgently needs a higher voice to complete the next plan;

Third, Sean wanted to try to establish communication with the Explorers Guild. Since he had no reason to come to them, he could show some uniqueness and wait for the Explorers Guild to come to him.

Although there is a bit of risk involved, time waits for no one and we must seize this rare opportunity!

"Uncle Chad, there is a foot-long branch 5 centimeters below the mud and stone you are standing on."

"Uncle Charlie, there is a hole in the soil at the back of your heel. Be careful."

Sean activated his ability, and after several townspeople turned their eyes toward him, he indicated his location with the beam of his flashlight.

Charlie looked back subconsciously, but he didn't expect that this turn would cause him to lose his balance. He stepped back with his right foot, and the ground immediately collapsed, with half of his foot stepping in. If it weren't for the help of someone next to him, he would have fallen hard.

Seeing Charlie's appearance, Chad hurriedly dug up the soil beneath his feet and found a one-foot-long branch buried in it.

A group of people looked at Sean with surprise and doubt in their eyes, wondering how he did it.

"To be honest, I believe you have all seen that I can see what's going on underground." Sean briefly explained his ability and said no more.

Because they will use their own experiences to imagine and make reasonable explanations for his abilities.

"We are not far from Baidu Peak. Follow me, I can find a safe road and lead you to meet Mayor Lewis and the others!" When they were stunned by the abilities he demonstrated, Sean hurriedly gave the orders. Once the command power was in his hands, it would not be easy to take it away.

"Everyone, pack up, take your equipment and get ready to go." As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started to take action like lost lambs meeting a sheepdog, no longer hesitating like headless flies.

"Aunt Pam, please start the car." In order to prevent Pierre, Gus and his crew from encountering the same danger again, Sean signaled to Pam to drive the car out of the curve and turn on the hazard lights as a warning in advance.

The flashing yellow light jumped on Sean's face. As the contact person, Pam was arranged by Sean to stay here to wait for Pierre, Gus and others. At the same time, Sean got a spare walkie-talkie from Pam.

At this time, a group of more than 30 people were ready. Sean glanced over and saw familiar faces.

"Abby, count the number of people! You will be responsible for delivering the team's information later!"

"Alex, Elliot, the end of the team is now in your hands! Don't let anyone fall behind!" Sean saw five young men, Alex, Shane, Sam, Sebaantis, and Elliot, in the team, so he distributed them evenly throughout the team.

Among them, Alex was placed at the end of the team by Sean because of his regular fitness and Elliot's strong physique.

"Let's go! We must rescue the deputy mayor safely!" Sean's voice echoed in the cold night sky, firm and powerful.

The combination of multiple faint lights is enough to dispel the darkness and illuminate the difficult and rugged road ahead.

Sean walked at the front of the team, looking for a safe path. Whenever he encountered uncertain situations, he would stop, carefully sense the situation underground, and guide the team to bypass dangerous areas.

Below is an endless canyon, where the mudslide has already broken through the guardrails. If you lose your footing, you will end up with your head and body separated; above is a vast expanse of accumulated snow, and there is the possibility of another landslide at any time.

Led by Sean, the team moved forward slowly and steadily. The cold wind whistled past, and the biting cold made everyone feel that their joints were frozen stiff and unable to move, like bearings that had been out of repair for a long time.

"Everyone hold on, we're not far from Baidu Peak. Abby, report the team's situation!" Sean, who was walking in the front, stopped and shouted to the team behind him.

"Hello~" A call came from Abi's walkie-talkie mixed with the sound of the wind.

"It's Robin! She's here to pick us up!" Abby shouted in surprise.

It turned out that Robin, who had already arrived at the scene, turned back with a walkie-talkie to pick up Sean and the others.
