Although it was already early summer, there was still a hint of coolness in the night wind, blowing in through the cracks in the window.

Du Jiujiu leaned against the wall, her broken hair on her forehead being gently blown by the wind. She took out the blue crystal stone that had lost its luster from her arms and looked at it quietly.

Time passes minute by minute.

After an unknown amount of time, Du Jiujiu sighed and put the necklace around her neck again.

Nothing happened all night.

When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone through the window, everyone woke up from their sleep. Although their bodies were still very tired, the unfamiliar environment made it impossible for them to sleep soundly.

After simply eating some of the few remaining dried meats, they continued to move forward under the morning dew.

In the woods densely populated with animals and plants, dangers are everywhere. It was not until the warm sunlight shone vertically from above that they walked out of the woods. At this time, everyone was more or less carrying

scars.

What strikes the eye is a winding highway lying dormant like a scarred beast.

After going through many difficulties and obstacles, they finally saw this trace of humanity that they had been pursuing for a long time. In addition to excitement and joy in everyone's hearts, there was also a bit of reluctance and uneasiness.

In this city, they experienced so many sleepless nights and nearly survived; in this city, they left too much blood and memories; in this city, they also gained friendship

and bond.

Unknowingly, they have also developed a little attachment to S City, a place they are already familiar with. Now they are leaving, and they don’t know when they will return. There is a long road ahead, and they don’t know how many new challenges are waiting for them.

.

However, even so, they will not hesitate or shrink anymore, because they have already made a choice from the moment they set foot on this road.

"Look, there are a lot of cars over there!" Wei Qingqing was still a child at heart. When he saw the crowd of vehicles at the entrance of the highway, he couldn't restrain his excitement and ran forward.

"Hey, Qingqing, come back quickly. Why are you so reckless? You have suffered so many injuries and you don't have a long memory." Seeing this, An Cheng felt helpless and pulled Wei Qingqing back behind him.

At this moment, a huge shadow enveloped them, and then a strong wind swept towards them from the sky accompanied by sharp birdsong.

"Get down quickly!!" Du Jiujiu saw a strange black bird the size of a car rushing towards them from high in the sky. He quickly jumped up with his feet on the ground, swung his long knife and attacked the bird in mid-air.

Kill the monster.

A set of movements was clean and neat. As soon as the hand was raised and the knife was dropped, the body of the bird monster was split into two, and it fell heavily to the ground, stirring up countless dust, and the bright red blood was swaying everywhere like rain.

yes.

Wei Qingqing was stunned by the scene in front of him and couldn't help but feel scared. If An Cheng hadn't stopped him just now, he might have been attacked by this bird monster.

"Before, we were covered by the canopy of trees in the woods, and these bird monsters couldn't see us. The situation is different now. Qingqing, you must not run around again." Hu Xiaoyun pulled Wei Qingqing, who was stunned there, helplessly.

Feeling a little distressed again.

After several baptisms of the apocalypse, Wei Qingqing still retains the character of the little girl before the apocalypse. Although sometimes it makes people laugh or cry, her heartless appearance always makes Du Jiujiu and others see the former Guoguo in her.

shadow, so I wanted to give her more tolerance from the bottom of my heart.

Wei Qingqing had realized his recklessness at this time, stuck out his tongue in embarrassment, and followed An Cheng obediently, not daring to run around anymore.

There are hundreds of cars parked at the entrance of the highway, some are crowded together in a mess, and others have been overturned by unknown objects. These people should have wanted to drive away from here in the early days of the apocalypse, but they were all stuck.

Here, it seems that there is no living person inside now.

The group of people carefully approached these vehicles and prepared to select a suitable car. This task naturally fell to Luo Yucheng, who knew the vehicles best.

After picking and choosing, Luo Yucheng turned his attention to a dark green seven-seater off-road vehicle with large displacement and power, and a very strong body.

Du Jiujiu didn't actually know much about cars. She only recognized it as the logo of Mercedes-Benz. However, just looking at the majestic appearance of this car, she knew that it would be difficult for her to afford it before the end of the world. However, at this time, it looked like garbage.

Being discarded so casually makes people feel a bit ironic.

The owner of this car must have been in a hurry when escaping from here. The car door was half open and the car key was still inserted in the ignition lock, which saved them a lot of trouble.

After removing the car key, Du Jiujiu closed the car door and dragged it out of the crowded vehicle. However, after they all got in the car, they discovered that the car's fuel tank had bottomed out.

"This is really bad." Luo Yucheng frowned, got out of the car and looked at the fuel tank mouth, and found signs of being pried.

"It seems we are not the only ones who choose to drive on the road." Du Jiujiu also hugged Xiaobai and got out of the car. She then looked at the other vehicles around her. As expected, the oil inside had also been taken away.

The few of them searched almost all the surrounding vehicles before barely collecting a full tank of gasoline. By this time, the sun had begun to set in the west.

"Oh, it seems that I can't continue on my way today." Wei Qingqing was a little frustrated. It was impossible to see the road clearly at night with only the moonlight, but turning on the street lights under such circumstances would undoubtedly become a target for mutant creatures. Now she

My grandma is still alive and dead in the imperial capital, and her mood is the most urgent among the group of people.

Du Jiujiu understood her mood and gently hugged her shoulders: "Don't worry, we have a car now, and we will travel very quickly. Tomorrow we will find a gas station along the way to store some gasoline. If everything goes well, it will take about one or two days.

It’ll be there soon.”

Wei Qingqing nodded, got into the car with Du Jiujiu, and sat on the back seat.

"Eat something and rest early." Hu Xiaoyun took out a handful of dried meat from his bag and handed it to them. These were baked in advance during the day. Now that they are sleeping in the wild, their position can easily be revealed by firelight.

things that still need to be avoided as much as possible.

Du Jiujiu took the dried meat and gave half of it to Wei Qingqing. He then tore the two pieces of dried meat into strips and fed them to Xiaobai who was lying on his lap.

Although Xiaobai had mutated, he did not consume much food without changing his body shape. Thanks to this, Du Jiujiu did not have to worry about Xiaobai's food rations.

The dry and hard dried meat had a strong meaty aroma when chewed in the mouth. Although it was a bit monotonous, Du Jiujiu also ate it with gusto, not to mention that the energy contained in these dried meats could replenish part of the powers he had consumed, allowing him to

The tired body also recovered a little.

Unknowingly, the afterglow of the sunset had dissipated in the sky, and except for the moon with its strange red light, everything around it was swallowed up by darkness.

The seven of them and one cat huddled in the car, which was so packed that they had a place to stay in the darkness. The surrounding space was filled with the sound of their companions breathing, making people feel extremely at ease.
