"But don't be discouraged. Rather than saying those monsters are abnormal, I think you're more like a monster. You've killed several first-tier monsters without even awakening your spirit!" Ning Yanlan laughed.

Jiang Yuan smiled noncommittally, "This world is too unfamiliar to me. Right now, I just want to learn more about this world! Also, I need to find my girlfriend!"

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Ning Yanlan asked in surprise.

"Well, we were childhood sweethearts!" Jiang Yuan's mind conjured up the girl's image, and he couldn't help but smile happily as he thought about it. "I wonder how she's doing!"

"To be honest, don't have too much hope for your past relationship! The world has changed now. Surviving in the apocalypse is the most important thing. Perhaps love in ordinary life is too fragile and can't withstand the devastation of the apocalypse's laws for even a few days!" Ning Yanlan's eyes held a strange charm.

"Have you seen many?" Although Jiang Yuan was not entirely convinced, Ning Yanlan would not make baseless accusations, so he listened to the so-called claim that it could not withstand damage.

"Many, many people sell their bodies, even their souls, for food and resources! In the apocalypse, there is no prosperity, only sin that runs deep in the bones!"

Ning Yanlan's state of mind fluctuated, and she continued, "The ugliness of human nature will completely erupt when there is no restraint. I've seen too much of it and I'm numb to it!"

"You said your fiancé dumped you, what happened?" Jiang Yuan asked curiously.

"I encountered a Tier 3 monster, I saved it, but it ran away! Ha, when I finally made it back to the safe zone after a near-death experience, it was doing gymnastics with a woman in its arms!" Ning Yanlan laughed self-deprecatingly.

Jiang Yuan was taken aback. He could hear the sadness in Ning Yanlan's tone and could only advise, "There are a lot of scumbags these days, and even more who will kick you while you're down! Don't take it too seriously!"

Ning Yanlan couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. "You're quite interesting to talk to, but that guy and I have never had any deep conversations! Our engagement was only for the sake of our family interests, and I only saved him out of my duty as a police officer."

"It seems your family was a scholarly family before the apocalypse!" Jiang Yuan teased. Generally, marriage alliances based on family interests are between large families; smaller families wouldn't even consider such things.

“In the apocalypse, none of that matters!” Ning Yanlan laughed freely.

“Yes, survival is the most important thing!” Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement.

"We're still seventy li from Nancheng, but those last fifty li are the most dangerous!" Ning Yanlan stopped chatting and began to give advance notice.

Jiang Yuan listened silently, while Ning Yanlan continued, "When the defense line was established in Nancheng, most of the monsters were entrenched within fifty miles of Nancheng. That means we will encounter the biggest obstacle after riding for twenty miles!"

"The last fifty miles are teeming with countless monsters, and even powerful holy spirits exist within them. Of course, there are also some humans trapped inside, because the area is too dangerous, and those people can only hold their camps and wait for rescue!"

"Therefore, we have no choice but to charge through the last fifty miles. Based on the army's experience, without the protection of heavy firepower, it is best to keep the passage time to less than five minutes! Because five minutes is the safest time. If it takes any longer, some powerful monsters will give you an early warning. They will block you ahead and then devour you!"

Ning Yanlan spoke of something very dangerous in a very calm tone.

Jiang Yuan fell silent. To travel fifty miles in five minutes would require an average speed of three hundred kilometers per hour, and that's without any interference. It's simply impossible for a human to drive like that.

"Did you hear that? That's the roar of a monster!" Ning Yanlan looked up into the distance. Although she had little combat experience, she had walked this path several times before, so she didn't feel too much pressure.

"Five minutes, we can give it a shot!" Jiang Yuan released one hand from the hilt of the knife.

Ning Yanlan said calmly, "I was really scared to walk this road alone last time, but this time with you by my side, I actually feel quite at ease!"

"Wouldn't it be much more reassuring to have someone to go to the underworld with?" Jiang Yuan joked at this moment. "However, I can go to Nancheng with you, but I can't go to the underworld with you!"

"Why?" Ning Yanlan asked, then lowered her windshield, a gesture that showed she didn't care about the answer.

"There is hope as long as you live! If you die, you have nothing!" Jiang Yuan murmured, as if he were talking to Ning Yanlan, and also to himself.

The sound of the car was very pleasant, and Ning Yanlan had already accelerated the car to over 200 km/h, crossing the 300 km/h threshold in the blink of an eye.

This is a race against death. If they rush past before the monsters can react, nothing will happen. But if the monsters stop them, then they will be met with wave after wave of monsters.

Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan are not experts and do not have the skills to fight against a hundred people. If they are tied down, the probability of their death is very high.

A red shadow whizzed past on the road. Because it was moving so fast, many of the monsters lurking around didn't even notice what had just passed by.

Perhaps, in their eyes, it was just a big red rat that darted past in a flash.

In the apocalypse, rats as big as motorcycles are not uncommon, so there's no need to be alarmed.

However, there were always a few exceptionally gifted monsters that howled wildly as Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan passed by, and some even chased after them.

The monster's roar triggered a chain reaction. After all, the motorcycle's speed of just over 300 km/h was far below the speed of sound. Although the monster that heard the sound didn't know what was happening, it had been on high alert all the way.

"Tsk tsk! This place is practically a monster's stronghold!"
