The next day, everyone got up before dawn with dark circles around their eyes. The atmosphere in the living room was depressed and everyone quietly packed their things. In actuality, most people were not willing to migrate- especially Huo Dong. He was approaching his middle age years and his physical strength as well as energy were not comparable to the younger people in the group. He will most likely die halfway through the journey, however, he did not have many options. He was certain that he would die sooner without Luo Yuan as he had no superpower. He then put his backpack on his back and firmly gripped a knife in his hand.

”I can help carry some of the things.” Wang Xiaguang said embarrassingly as she was empty-handed while everyone was busy packing.

”It’s alright, you just recovered... we will help you with these.” Huang Jiahui said with a smile.

”It will be good enough if you can catch up with our speed .” Wang Shishi also joined the conversation.

Luo Yuan stared at Wang Shishi for a second and spoke to Wang Xiaguang, ”Don't worry, we will go slower on the first day. You should eat more meat so that your energy can be restored faster.”

After consuming mutated meats for two nights, Wang Xiaguang seemed to be much better but she probably needed a few more days to fully recover.

Wang Xiaguang smiled happily as she felt Luo Yuan treated her as nicely as he did in the early days. She replied, ”My physique is good, I used to exercise every morning. Do you have an extra knife?”

”These knives are very sharp and you might hurt yourself.” Luo Yuan hesitated a moment and as he wanted to protect her as a form of compensation.

”I've practiced a lot in college, it shouldn’t be a problem for me.” Wang Xiaguang was shy after saying that to him.

”Well, there should be a few more left in the basement. Let me check.” Luo Yuan did not reject her request anymore as he thought it was good for her to have a weapon to at least protect herself if he is too busy fighting mutated beasts. He found a samurai sword and brought it up.

Wang Xiaguang took the sword and began to familiarise with it. She tried to practice the routines which Luo Yuan showed to the others. Surprisingly, she could do it better than all of them, even though it might not be as fast or accurate as what Luo Yuan had requested. Everyone was amazed.

No one could imagine that a weak woman like her could be so skillful. Lin Xiaoji looked as though he had just met Superwoman!

Wang Xiaguang stopped practicing after a while and asked Luo Yuan, “What do you think?”

“Acceptable.” Luo Yuan replied.

Wang Xiaguang frowned her nose tenderly and said, ”I haven’t practiced for a long time. I’ll certainly beat you in the future.”

Wang Shishi twitched her lower lip to show her dissatisfaction. Brother Luo is the most powerful man in her heart and no one could ever compete with him.

”Well, you have always been the most powerful.” Luo Yuan smiled and said to Wang Xiaguang. Luo Yuan loaded most of their things on the back of the lizard. He also wrapped some stuff in a canvas and tied it to the back of his loyal pet.

Luo Yuan returned to the living room to take his backpack and Zhanmadao. As he noticed everyone was already ready, he said, ”Please carry some meat with you in your backpack as we might need to leave everything else behind if it is too dangerous. Also, it is not too late to change your mind now if you want to stay here. There is a lot more food in the basement which can ensure you a worry-free life for a few months.”

Luo Yuan did not hear any objections and then said, “Let’s go then!”

It was a cloudless day which was a good sign. As the huge body of the lizard slowly stood up, the group immediately followed from the back. The road was destroyed and only tanks could travel on it. Other than Luo Yuan, none of them had come out to the district in the last 10 days. They were shocked when they saw the condition of the roads and the collapsed buildings.

Plenty of green filled their eyes. Weeds, mosses, and vines had engulfed the entire city. The sun was shining on them but they did not feel warm at all as they were too distracted by what they were seeing. Wang Xiaguang could not believe the city had changed so much because it was still a beautiful one when she first entered. She did not expect it to be destroyed to this state in such a short time.
