Chapter 224 (1/2)
Since there were more people inside the RV and Edgar was considered as an important person, he didn’t need to be a lookout anymore.
When the hazy s.h.i.+mmer just appeared on the second day, Chu Yunsheng was woken up by the rustling sounds outside the RV, he pushed the girl who was sleeping on top of him away from him and stretched his body then got off the RV.
Edgar got up earlier than Chu Yunsheng, he seemed to be discussing something with Jiang Qianqin on a map they were holding.
Jiang Qianqin nodded her head to greet Chu Yunsheng when she saw him come out of the RV.
“The nearest city from here is Tong city, it is a small city, so most likely it was already abandoned, and the spore forest has blocked the way to that city, so we can’t get through. We should take the highway G205 and try to get to Yellow Mountain City in two days. We need to gather all the necessary supplies there, then head west to Yu Zhang city, that is a big city, so we will probably be able to find some troops there,” Jiang Qianqin pointed at the map and said.
“I am not familiar with the geography of China, you can decide it,” although Edgar said that she could decide it, he and Chu Yunsheng had already decided where they wanted to go. The billionaire’s underground granary just happened to be near Yellow Mountain city, so of course, Edgar didn’t object to this decision.
In fact, Yellow Mountain city was not far from Xu Jia Ying town on the map, however, the obstacles on the road, the monsters’ hara.s.sments, and the limited time they could use for traveling during the time when there were hazy s.h.i.+mmers, made their moving speed very slow.
What Jiang Qianqin said was already an optimistic estimation. When Chu Yunsheng escaped from Shen Cheng city to Jin ling city, he didn’t remember exactly how many days it took him, all he could remember was that the swarm was almost everywhere, and he was seeking for places to hide most of the time.
The situation at the moment was slightly better, the insects were no longer spread out, it seemed like they were gathered in their creep areas, the battle between the monsters in the spore forest and the insects also seemed to restrict the insect’s movement, so as long as they could bypa.s.s their battlefield, there would not be any problems for them to escape from this area.
After two buses plus Chu Yunsheng’s RV were stuffed with people, the group once again backed on the road moving cautiously along the highway G205.
In the dim obscure light cast down from the gloomy sky, they could see dead bodies and abandoned vehicles everywhere on the crooked highway, it was like a dead dragon falling from the sky and its body extended to the distant horizon…
And as if there was a voice kept sighing gently in everyone’s head, “give up, give up, the world has become a h.e.l.l, mankind has perished, everything was ruined!”
The vehicles were moving slowly on the highway, many pairs of eyes were staring blankly and numbly at the bodies outside the cold windows. The feeling of despair had already gone through the stages of triggering, spreading, and venting, all it left now was numbness and indifference.
No one wanted to talk once they were back on the road. To the students who only had one meal a day, speaking was an activity that would consume their body energy, moreover, they needed to reserve their energy on the road, if they encountered any monsters, they would be able to run away, so most of the time they were silent.
Chu Yunsheng had already forgotten what date it was right now. The winter was supposed to be finished two months ago. However, two months had already pa.s.sed, not only didn’t it have any sign of getting warmer, but it was also getting colder and colder every day.
It was snowing again since they left the town and it seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.
When the hazy s.h.i.+mmer was about to disappear, they arrived at an unknown town in the heavy snow, many students quickly moved out of the bus gathering around the campfires.
Only the students in the RV were lucky, even the group stopped at the unknown town, none of the students in the RV wanted to come out. Everyone was scared that once they got off, they wouldn’t be able to get on the RV again.
“We can’t keep traveling in this condition, we are going to freeze to death if we do!” Ga Zi was the first one who broke the silence amongst the Skywalkers, he tucked the gun under his armpit and faced the campfire to warm his hands.
“Without any food, stopping here also means death!” the fat man Qian said loudly.
“Look at this snow, the road will definitely be blocked by tomorrow.”
“We can’t leave, and we can’t stay either, what the f.u.c.k are we going to do?”
“I’m still keeping my old plan, which is to abandon those students and leave here just by ourselves,” Ren Sanbao said while playing with a fireball in his hands.
“If you want to leave, then, just leave, no one asks you to stay,” the young man took out the thin branch from his mouth, it instantly became an icicle, then he flicked his index finger, the icicle flew out immediately.
“Doctor, what do you think?” Jiang Qianqin turned her head to the left to face Edgar.
“We also don’t have much food left, and it is true that the weather condition is bad. How about staying here for one more day. If it is still snowing, then even if it means we need to walk, we will have to keep moving. The fat man is right, sitting here is the same as waiting to die,” Edgar slowly told them what he had discussed with Chu Yunsheng.
