As the southern gate of the Great Han E City was only several hundred li ahich was not too far The Ihly-populated, flat piece of land where econoy mountain roads that were hard to travel on in the area One could usually coo as they pleased on a swift steed
Yan Liqiang and Escort wang Hui rode their rhinodrake steeds in the darkness, swiftly galloping north fro City under the stars The sounds of iron hooves thundered throughout the silent night They passed by collapsed bridges and roads that had been cut off Villages, cities, and towns on either side of the road were all reduced to ruins Under thefroround around those craters was barren and pitch black
Auished cries of those ere fortunate enough to survive drifted faintly with the night breeze One could still see the burning farmlands and forests at the i smoke was thick, but no one cared Both the the road Both parties exchanged cautious glances under the dark night sky as they brushed past each other before speeding off in the opposite directions…
The further they traveled northward, the nitude of the destruction they saw along the way increased, the fewer survivors they buanticand wang Hui felt as though they were riding into an uninhabited region
If the road was cut off, both of thee collapsed, they would have their steeds swirew heavy at the current state of the once extremely prosperous heart of the Great Han E already had a hunch in his heart when he watched the largest meteor fall toward the Iht Although Yan Liqiang wasn’t knowledgeable in quantum physics in his previous life, he at least knew about nuclear explosions He had never been to Russia, but he had heard souska event on the Internet Not only that, but he had also seen the disasters that e and readings he had accu his previous life, he was able to inificance of this catastrophe
Since he was at the border of Jinling City, he wouldn’t feel satisfied until he verified the aftermath with his very own eyes It was no lie that he still had an unbelievable glis weren’t as serious as he thought and that there stillfor nearly an entire night, they found that the road ahead of theht before daybreak The difference compared to last time was that the road was completely cut off by aaround except for rubble and towering cliffs ahead of the abruptly reined in his steed The sweaty rhinodrake steed beneath hi around the sa turned his head around and shouted
“This is Jinque Pass I used this route when I came to the Imperial Capital with the escort leader The Imperial Capital is just seven to ten li beyond this pass…” wang Hui gulped as he took in the scenery before his eyes while riding “Jinque Pass is supposed to be in between this mountain, how coht Are there any other routes besides this one?”
“There’s a town about ten li south from here There’s a smaller road that bypasses Jinque Pass there…”
“Let’s go there and take a look…”
“Agreed…” wang Hui turned his steed around then galloped swiftly southward along the foot of the ed to cover a distance of about ten li
However, as soon as they arrived at the place that wang Hui mentioned, they realized that the town had disappeared Not to mention, the road had also vanished The landslide had buried everything, leaving only a person wandering around the rubble like a lonely lost soul
Yan Liqiang and wang Hui dismounted as soon as they spotted that person and went over to him
It was a man in his forties, dressed in a torn law enforcer unifor vacantly at the ruins as he paced around there
He was the first unifor their journey
“Excuse me, Brother Are there any roads that lead to the I asked
The ’s voice He stared at Yan Liqiang lifelessly as a bone-chilling grin broke across his face “Gone… Gone… All gone… Little Hua is gone… Little Ying is gone too… The town is gone… Everything is gone…” The person turned his head around again after saying all that, then resu, I’ cast a glance at the person and sighed “Brother wang, is there any other way?”
“I only know these tays through Jinque Pass to reach the Ied, perhaps ill find another way if we go further south…”
Yan Liqiang lifted his head to look at thetheir path “Let’s leave our steeds here instead and go over that ht!” wang Hui scanned the surroundings once “But not here, it would be too eye-catching If anyone passes by and takes our steeds with them, it will be difficult for us to return We should find a h of you, Brother wang!”
