The short, quiet interlude pa.s.sed, and they reluctantly left the s.p.a.ce and took in the scenery outside . Xiao Sa was startled; the once lush mountain forest was now desolate, the land blackened, the hills bare . The birds and animals had all disappeared – what had happened to Phoenix Mountain?
Bai Jing’s lips twitched . He didn’t feel guilty at all, but he would never tell Xiao Sa that this was the result of his anger . Besides, in this kind of world, protecting the mountains and the forests was really unnecessary . He brought out a hummer straightaway, turned his head, and called out to Xiao Sa, “Hey, get in the car, let’s go . ”
Xiao Sa wasn’t given any time to sigh over the desolation of Phoenix Mountain . He heard Bai Jing’s shout and very consciously got into the driver’s seat . Bai Jing quickly followed him into the car .

The mountain road was winding, and the ground uneven . Phoenix Mountain was silent except for the rattle of the Hummer as it made its way along the road . Their journey went smoothly, and they didn’t meet any zombies, mutant animals, or human beings . It was as though they were the only two left in this vast land, and there was even no trace of greenery .
Xiao Sa’s heart grew heavier and heavier as they travelled, his expression serious, and his thin lips pressed tightly together . His gaze was dark as it remained focused outside of the car, seemingly waiting for the storm that came after the calm . He didn’t dare relax his vigilance and remained on guard for a big fight .
It was unknown how much time had pa.s.sed before the radio in the car suddenly stuttered with noise . Bai Jing’s eyes brightened, and he rushed forward to turn up the radio, “There’s signal . ”
Xiao Sa’s expression also relaxed . Being able to obtain news on the radio was a good thing; their journey had been far too quiet, to the point of being disturbing .
“… Emergency Notice! Emergency Notice! Please note that our base was attacked by zombies at ten minutes past midnight yesterday . So far, it’s already the twelfth day in a row that the base has been attacked . If there are any fortunate survivors out there, please take note and gather with us at K City after hearing this radio broadcast…”
“Pa!” Bai Jing was totally unconcerned as he changed the radio channel . There was nothing to say about the attack . There was another burst of static, and a sweet female voice rang out .
“… To all surviving people, we are x.x.x Base . We have excellent and powerful teams, as well as outstanding mercenary corps . We are the largest survivor base in the region and have excellent ability users that have come from all over . We are currently facing a crisis of zombie attacks, and welcome all ability users to come work together to resist the crisis, and join us so that we can continue to work hard for the future…”

“… We are ZZZ Base, we have strong supply search teams, tight defensive patrols, and abundant supplies . We can offer favourable conditions to survivors seeking refuge…”
Despite switching between several different radio stations, the pa.s.sionate speeches were all pretty much the same, trying to recruit survivors to their bases . The words they spoke all made it sound as though it was raining flowers, but only the devil knew what the reality was actually like . After listening to several broadcasts, Xiao Sa remained silent for a moment before saying shortly, “We’re going to K City . ”
Bai Jing nodded . He understood Xiao Sa’s meaning; K City was somewhere they had to stop by on the way to B City . Compared to the other bases, K City’s broadcast was still somewhat reliable . At the very least, they would tell the listeners about the crisis they faced . Only, it was unclear if this was just another hoax . Even so, it didn’t matter to them; Bai Jing and Xiao Sa had both risen up in rank and had also come clean to each other about the s.p.a.ce’s secret . Now, not only were they highly capable and bold, they were also fearless and no danger could faze them .
As darkness fell and night approached, the sky began to drizzle, and rain pitter-pattered as it fell to the ground . Only the wobbling beams of light from the car’s headlights could be seen . There was no sign of human habitation on the road, and broken walls and buildings were scattered everywhere . Seeing the deserted villages, Bai Jing’s brows wrinkled into a frown; his originally indifferent and careless mentality gradually grew heavy .
Xiao Sa turned his head to glance at his lover and comforted him quietly . They had travelled all day and night, and there was a trace of tiredness between his brows, “Don’t think about it too much, it’s none of your business . We’ll probably reach K City the day after tomorrow . ”
After hearing this, Bai Jing sneered and gave Xiao Sa a strange look . He didn’t know how Xiao Sa had reached the conclusion that he would feel guilty . He, Bai Jing, had never been a good man . Even if he hadn’t set fire to the mountains, how long could these villages and bases hold on for? Now, what would’ve happened eventually had merely occurred ahead of time . What he was worried about were the zombies and mutant animals that had been driven out by the fire . Where were they now? Were they now hiding somewhere, waiting for an opportunity?
Xiao Sa was choked and said awkwardly, “Don’t frown . We’ll find a place to rest up ahead . ”
Bai Jing snorted, “That’s what you said earlier . ” There were no signs of human habitation anywhere, and there was nothing left in the villages they’d pa.s.sed . He was really angry that Xiao Sa didn’t know how to take care of himself . Was it really necessary for them to push forward like this?
Xiao Sa was speechless . No matter what, Bai Jing was right . Those who were afraid of their wives were truly vulnerable; he thought about it for a while and finally came up with, “Little Jing, be good . Listen to me, it’s not safe here . ”
“Then we’ll go back to the s.p.a.ce . ” Bai Jing rolled his eyes . Wasn’t he just treating him like a child?
