Millersburg, MS

They are somewhere in Mississippi, on Route 55 north, when they run out of gas.

“Where the hell are we?” Tao asks, looking around.

“I think I saw a sign for some state park about three miles back,” Kris replies.

“Three miles?” Lu Han pales. “I am not walking three miles anywhere.”

“Let me check if I have any service,” Tao mumbles pulling out his phone. A moment later, he sighs. “Nope.”

“Oh no,” Lu Han groans. “It’s going to be like what Chen predicted; we’re going to get murdered by serial killers or eaten by cannibals, only in the middle of Mississippi instead of Wisconsin.”

Tao gives Lu Han a judging look. “We need altitude,” he says, turning to Kris. “I’m going to get on the top of your car and see if I can get signal up there.”

“Hell no,” Kris shoots back, “no one is getting on the roof of my new Cayenne.”

Lu Han groans again. “We’re going to die out here, aren’t we? Yixing, I’m too young to die. Yixingggg, are you listening to me?”

Tao gives Kris another pointed look. “If you don’t let me, we have to listen to that for god knows how long.”

“Yixingggg. Hey, Zhang Yixing. Wake up and listen to meeeeee.”

“Go,” Kris decides, closing his eyes. “Hurry up and call for help.”

Forty minutes later, an AAA truck appears on the horizon and Lu Han finally shuts up. Yixing somehow manages to peacefully sleep through it all.

[A/N]: This is a made-up location. Happy Independence Day. Annie's in China and Exie is all alone in her dorm room :( Leave some nice comments and upvotes to cheer her up.
