The crowd was grouped together. Those who had responded quicker were running towards the bomb shelter with their children. Most people were strong, as they had gone through many difficulties. Although they looked panicked and helpless, they were still conscious and they followed a certain order.
”Let’s go to the bomb shelter! Perhaps it’s just a drill?” Wu Xiaoxiao said, taking a deep breath. She was smiling reluctantly.
There had been a few alarms in the city ever since she had arrived at the rehabilitation base. Most of the time, it was only a drill, except the time when the small-scale migration had occurred. She thought that might be the same thing.
”It’s definitely not a drill!” Luo Yuan said with a serious expression. He looked up to the sky instinctively and saw more than 10 tiny, cigar-like spots spurting flames as they flew past their heads.
Every once in a while, there were a few hundred fighting jets in the sky. From what they could see, there were about 500 jets this time. Not many countries had more than 100 fighting jets, except China, America, and Russia, who had the most powerful military.
”Brother Luo!” Chen Jiayi interrupted Luo Yuan’s thoughts as she walked towards him.
”Let’s go home!” Luo Yuan was stunned when he saw her. He was so surprised by her beauty that he could hardly recognize her. However, he recovered from the shock very fast.
Chen Jiayi nodded. She trusted Luo Yuan completely. He could sell her to someone else, and she would not say a word.
”Luo Yuan, stop fooling around!” Wu Xiaoxiao said. She thought Luo Yuan planned to pack his luggage and leave when she saw him insist on going back.
She went on to say, ”There’s a lot of food and resources in the bomb shelter. It’s more than enough to sustain everyone in the city for half a year!”
”There’s someone waiting for me at home. We have to go,” Luo Yuan said sincerely. He was touched to see Wu Xiaoxiao so panicked and mad.
”Are you insane? They will go to the bomb shelter by themselves! You can look for them later!” Wu Xiaoxiao said anxiously as she saw the crowd dispersing on the street.
”I can’t take that risk!” Luo Yuan said. He had gone through a lot of hardships with his friends on their way there from the coastal area. He knew all of them had been relying on him, especially the women. They would probably keep waiting for him if he did not return.
Sun Youde had been waiting for a while before he said, ”We will leave first then, see you at the shelter!”
Luo Yuan nodded and pulled Chen Jiayi along, getting ready to leave.
”Wait! It seems like it’s not that dangerous yet. Let’s go together!” Wu Xiaoxiao said quickly before she added, ”At least that way there will be one more person to help!”
Sun Youde looked upset. He was not smiling anymore, but nobody had noticed it.
”Alright, but everyone needs to be quick!” Luo Yuan nodded, realizing he had made an impression on his old schoolmate.
”Great!” Wu Xiaoxiao said quickly.
Luo Yuan did not say anything else. He just pulled Chen Jiayi along and began to run slowly. The school was only about three kilometers away from where they lived. The distance was short enough for Luo Yuan, who was physically strong, and Chen Jiayi, who was parasitized by moss. It was really easy for them, even though they ran at normal speed.
However, it was overwhelming for Wu Xiaoxiao and Sun Youde, who were just ordinary people that lacked any training. They were already gasping and sweating half-way along the journey.
”Luo Yuan, how long more to go?” Wu Xiaoxiao asked, gasping. She looked very pale as she kept running.
”We’ll be there soon! It’s not far!” Luo Yuan turned around and took a glance at her. Wu Xiaoxiao seemed to be unable to continue. After pondering it, he asked, ”Do you want me to help you?”
Wu Xiaoxiao hesitated and turned to Sun Youde. Sun Youde shrugged as he saw her look at him. Smiling, he said, ”It’s fine. He’s so strong, he’s not even sweating!”
Luo Yuan smiled, but he remained silent. He released Chen Jiayi’s hand and took Wu Xiaoxiao’s before he started running again. Wu Xiaoxiao’s name reflected her size. She was only 160 cm and 45 kg, which was almost the same as Chen Jiayi. It did not require a lot of strength for Luo Yuan to help her.
Wu Xiaoxiao had not realized her schoolmate was so strong until he pulled her hand and ran. He was really strong, and his breathing remained unchanged. Even though he had to pull her along, he had no trouble maintaining his speed. His skin was shiny and smooth, and his palm was soft, yet strong. Wu Xiaoxiao’s heart was beating very fast as she smelled his masculine fragrance. Her face suddenly turned red, and she began to feel dizzy.
