Once the car was outside of Beijing, the sky began to darken. The clouds grew thicker and heavier, their color deepening.
An Ning leaned forward to take a look.
'Looks like it's going to rain.'
CRACK!
As if to prove her right, a bolt of lightning slanted down directly in front of the car, followed by a deafening clap of thunder.
In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared.
An Ning subconsciously pressed the accelerator a little deeper.
'I just need to outrun this cloud.'
WHOOSH—
A fierce wind kicked up.
'You have got to be kidding me!'
An Ning couldn't help but grumble to herself, her eyes fixed on the ever-darkening sky. She had a bad feeling. She'd just missed a service area, and the next one was sixty-five kilometers away.
It should take about forty minutes, but if she got caught in the rain, she didn't dare guess how long it would be.
SPLAT... SPLAT...
