Strange Life of a Cat

Chapter 325 - 325 318 The Cat in a Vest

?Chapter 325: Chapter 318 The Cat in a Vest Chapter 325: Chapter 318 The Cat in a Vest Zheng Tan sat in the back seat of the car, looking at the scenery outside the window.

Unlike the usual hustle and bustle of previous years, this year seemed to be a bit quieter. Perhaps due to the lower temperatures than usual, coupled with the impact of the blizzard, there had been such a change. However, compared to many other places and some villages and mountain regions that were worse affected, the situation in the city was much better. The most common complaint among citizens was probably about the water pipes freezing and bursting a few days ago. For others who had no trouble with travel or direct financial interest conflicts, they were merely spectators who were not affected in their normal lives and only discussed it briefly with others when watching the news each day.

Mr. Jiao had been keeping the traffic radio channel on the entire time. These past days, the weather had eased up quite a bit, and many stranded people were eager to set off during this window. There were quite a lot of unlicensed taxis looking to make a quick buck during this period.

To avoid getting caught in traffic, Mr. Jiao specifically set out early. He hadn’t expected that there would be so many others with the same idea, and there were already quite a few vehicles on the road in the early morning. They still encountered several small-scale traffic jams, especially at intersections where the long lines of cars were extremely depressing.

By the time they finally got out of the city, an hour and a half had already passed. This was Zheng Tan’s first experience with such a situation, feeling dizzy from all the stop-and-go movement.

Following previous travel routes, they would usually get on the highway right after leaving the city. The highway here had been closed a few days ago but had reopened just recently. However, as they were getting close, the traffic radio reported an accident on the highway and advised vehicles heading that way to take a detour.

No one knew how long the delay would last due to the accident, and Mr. Jiao had no choice but to take another route, avoiding the highway.

As they passed by the vicinity of several passenger transport stations, Zheng Tan glanced over there. The surrounding area was still crowded with people. The waiting halls were full, and there were some people waiting outside, with armed police maintaining order. Zheng Tan also saw taxis, minibuses, and private cars pulling in passengers, with people holding up signs with the names of various counties and cities, shouting as they walked, trying to attract passengers. This was what some people referred to as black market taxis, but at this point, people were no longer concerned about whether it was legal or not—getting on a vehicle was all that mattered. When it came to squeezing onto a vehicle, few gave consideration to the vulnerable groups such as the elderly, infirm, disabled, or pregnant; they would push and shove as usual.

Zheng Tan was somewhat unfamiliar with the route out of the city, so he took note of the buildings on both sides and memorized this new route information.
