Dai Lin's current location was at the Philadelphia Greyhound Bus Station, about a ten-minute walk from Independence Hall in Philadelphia.
Dai Lin stared intently at the map of the United States on his phone.
It really wasn't far from Philadelphia to Washington; departing from this bus station, he could reach Washington to the southwest in less than four hours.
By contrast, the trip from Atlanta, Georgia to Washington was much longer, having to cross South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia. Heading north, it was a distance of well over a thousand kilometers.
"Atlanta is that far from Washington..." The only thing Dai Lin knew about Atlanta was the famous "Gone with the Wind," and he remembered it was located in the southern United States.
Moreover, he didn't expect Washington to be so close to the east coast of the United States; he had always thought that since it was the capital, it should be located somewhere in the inner United States.
