The chaotic shouts from the direction of Ciyun Temple were left far behind.

The official road was deserted, and dust was flying everywhere.

Jiang Chan, holding Xiao Tao's hand, kept walking along the path planned by the probe.

On both sides of the road were barren fields, with withered yellow grass swaying in the wind, and not a single person could be seen, as if all the disaster victims had been drained dry by that man-eating temple.

"Sister Jiang, where are we going?" Xiao Tao asked, looking at her.

"Ahead!" Jiang Chan said succinctly.

She stopped and looked around.

The probe had already taken off, and within its field of vision, for miles around the official road, there was nothing alive except for a few startled birds.

Jiang Chan had a thought.

The next instant, a silver-gray mountain bike appeared out of thin air in the middle of the road!

With its sleek lines, the metal frame gleamed with a cold, hard sheen in the dim sunlight.

"Ah?!" Xiaotao suddenly covered her mouth, her eyes wide with shock as she stared at the monster that had appeared out of nowhere. "What...what is this?"

Jiang Chan didn't explain much.

She climbed onto the seat, put one foot on the ground, and waved to Xiao Tao, "Come on, sit in the back, and hold me tight. This is a 'magic weapon' given to us by the Mountain God to help us travel."

"The Mountain God's magic weapon?" Xiao Tao was completely convinced! The Mountain God's manifestation that night in Wengjia Village, and Sister Jiang's method of changing the water, were all miracles!

This little iron horse must be one too!

She excitedly jogged over, cautiously looking at the bicycle, unsure how to sit on it.

After Jiang Chan got out of the car and demonstrated, Xiao Tao nodded with bright eyes.

Then, she straddled the car, her little hands tightly wrapped around Jiang Chan's waist, her whole body pressed against her back, both nervous and curious, "Hold...hold on tight!"

"Hold on tight!" Jiang Chan pushed off with her feet!

The wheels turned, rolling over the dry dirt road!

"Wow—!" Xiao Tao exclaimed in surprise due to the inertia, and instinctively hugged him even tighter!

The wind whistled across my face, and the withered trees and barren fields on both sides rushed past!

It's much faster than a handcart!

Xiao Tao initially closed her eyes in fear and buried her head on Jiang Chan's back, but soon, the novelty overcame her fear.

She quietly opened one eye, watching the ground rushing past, feeling the wind on her face, and a surprised and excited smile slowly bloomed on her small face!

"So fast! Sister Jiang! You're like flying!"

A long-lost smile appeared on Jiang Chan's lips.

The wind dispersed the foul odor of Ciyun Temple and also dispelled the suffocating feeling of the past few days.

The thrill of racing in the apocalypse seems to have returned a little bit.

She exerted force with both legs, the chain turned and made a slight clicking sound, and the bicycle sped along the empty official road.

While pedaling the bicycle, Jiang Chan was distracted by controlling the probe high in the sky.

The road ahead: straight and open.

The left fork in the road leads deep into the mountains, where there is no one around.

The path on the right leads to an abandoned village, with broken walls and ruins.

Behind: The smoke and dust from the direction of Ciyun Temple had long since disappeared.

very good!

Nobody's here!

Jiang Chan completely let go of her inhibitions.

The advantages of mountain bikes were fully utilized on this relatively flat official road.

Xiao Tao cheered excitedly in a low voice from behind, but the wind drowned out her words.

Less than an hour later, a dilapidated mountain god temple appeared at the edge of the detector's field of view.

The temple is small, about 20 square meters, and looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, but the walls are still relatively intact and there is a roof that can shelter from the wind and rain.

"This place is alright..." Jiang Chan slowed down and squeezed the brake.

The bicycle came to a steady stop at the bottom of the dilapidated stone steps in front of the temple gate.

Xiao Tao jumped off the car and looked at the dilapidated mountain god temple in front of her, which was a hundred times better than sleeping in the wilderness. She happily said to Jiang Chan, "Sister Jiang, the mountain god's magic weapon is really powerful! We arrived so quickly!"

Jiang Chan put the bicycle back into her storage space.

The mountain god temple was dilapidated, the shrine was tilted, and the ground was covered with dust and dead leaves.

But the space is spacious enough to accommodate both of them.

"Pack up, we'll stay here tonight," Jiang Chan said, indicating her satisfaction.

Xiao Tao immediately nodded, rolled up her sleeves, and began to help sweep up the fallen leaves and pebbles in the corner.

The corner was quickly cleaned up.

Jiang Chan took out two thick tarpaulins from her spatial storage and laid them on the ground, then took out two thin blankets.

She leaned against the wall and summoned the system, but the gray system interface remained silent.

The taskbar is completely empty.

Jiang Chan tried to call out in her mind.

Dead silence.

Just like before, it's like a lifeless object.

Does it only come back to life and lose a pitiful "salary" when a specific event is triggered?

What exactly is this thing trying to do?

The purpose of binding her is to make her a "savior," solving problems everywhere, and then giving her a pittance as "salary."

Is the reward for taking down a bandit stronghold or temple ten steamed buns and ten bottles of water?

Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?!

However... if this kind of "trouble" can be resolved continuously, and steamed buns and water can be supplied in an endless stream... it doesn't seem unacceptable.

Jiang Chan thought to herself without any emotion, "Savior... I have no interest!" But if "saving the world" could be exchanged for food and water, she wouldn't mind smashing a few latrines she didn't like.

"Gurgle..." Little Peach's stomach growled.

She covered her stomach shyly and secretly glanced at Jiang Chan.

With a thought, two still-warm steamed buns appeared in Jiang Chan's hands.

The plastic bottled water was also taken out.

Now we don't have to hide it anymore!

"Here you go." She handed Xiao Tao a steamed bun and a bottle of water.

Xiao Tao's eyes lit up instantly!

This... is a big white steamed bun!

She tremblingly took the steamed bun and water, looked at the same things in Jiang Chan's hand, and asked softly, "Sister Jiang... this... is this also given by the Mountain God?"
