Three days later, the community opened. Xie Yuancheng had already packed two backpacks. I saw that they were full of things, but they felt very light when I carried them, like empty bags.

The shopkeeper worked with him at the workbench for the next two days, and they quickly fixed the remaining holes.

He wanted to return to the base with the traveling doctor first, and told us not to go too far after we left, as he could monitor us. If we went too far, he wouldn't be able to provide timely assistance.

I memorized what he said, then grabbed my backpack and left with Xie Yuancheng. He looked very happy, while I was still worried about what would happen when we got back.

“Ying’er, we’re going out now. Even if we lose all our hair, it won’t solve the problem. Let’s come back and talk about it later.”

"Okay, but it's chaotic outside, and you still want to go out? That's just ridiculous."

He turned around and asked, "What is it?"

"Being unconventional is not the way a normal person thinks."

"It's okay, with you by my side, I'm not worried about going anywhere."

I smiled beside him. Since it was Xie Yuancheng's destination, I naturally went along.

When the plane took off, I was thinking, "Please, I hope we don't encounter any turbulence." We had barely stabilized when we encountered severe turbulence, and the plane was forced to turn back.

Xie Yuancheng sat in the waiting room and sighed, "I didn't check the almanac before I left home."

"Delays are very common; just consider them as a hardship in life."

Xie Yuancheng nodded, "That's true."

The flight was later canceled because a large tornado was expected to sweep across the sea, which would affect international flights.

"Yuancheng, why don't we go back?"

"We took a train, then a ship, and then a car."

He's really persistent. I checked and found that we can transfer in a coastal city. They fly on a different route and won't encounter any tornadoes at sea.

Xie Yuancheng smiled happily after I made him a new travel itinerary.

"Ying'er is the best."

I bought another flight with him, and after three transfers, the further we went, the more desolate it felt. When we finally arrived at our destination, we were met with a scene of real-life chaos as soon as we stepped out of the airport.

Xie Yuancheng led me to the other side with practiced ease, and we quickly escaped the chaotic crowd and stopped at a very deserted house.

"Are we really going to live there?"

"Yes, it was arranged by Master. He said that in places like this, the poorer they are, the more chaotic they become. They could have changed things through labor, but they insisted on taking shortcuts, and things only got worse afterward."

"That's true, you already know that, so why are you still here?"

Xie Yuancheng felt a little aggrieved: "I can understand some of the current situations in 2020, but I really can't understand why there is still chaos in such a good environment. So I talked to my master, and he asked me to come and see for myself."

I facepalmed. It turns out it was all his idea, which forced me to come along too.

Xie Yuancheng opened the door: "Ying'er, let's go inside and talk."

I looked around carefully, but there was no one there. When I was possessing Ji Shuang, I knew these places were really chaotic and unsafe.

If we're not careful, we could both end up here.

When I first went in, I thought it would be a chaotic place, but it turned out to be just like where I was staying.

I leaned against the bed and sighed, "This is truly a hidden paradise. You came here to enjoy yourself, not to witness the chaos of the world."

“Ying’er, we are not from this time and space after all, so of course we should be different from them.”

"You come from a noble family, so you can't experience the hardships of ordinary people."

"You're the general's own daughter, yet you've never experienced the hardships of life."

"If I say it's true, then it is. You're not allowed to doubt it." I was furious; he's really getting better and better at talking to me.

"Ying'er, don't be angry. I'll massage your shoulders and legs."

Xie Yuancheng actually came over and started punching me, but I slapped his hand away: "If anyone sees this, your reputation will be ruined."

"Ying'er~"

Finally, it was my turn to massage his legs and give him a hand massage. I went to sleep right after my bath, because I had to go out with him early the next morning. At first, I thought he was really here to experience life, and it was just a pretense.

However, it's understandable. Xie Yuancheng grew up in an abnormal environment for many years. He had a very hard life before, so he shouldn't have to work too hard now.

Before dawn, I heard a deafening explosion above. I hurriedly woke Xie Yuancheng: "Yuancheng, this city is probably going to fall."

He leaned closer to smell my hair: "Smell it more. In the next couple of days, we'll be refugees and seeking refuge with everyone else."

"Are you really going?"

"Since we're already here, we're going to do it for real. You're not in good health, so we'll let you enjoy a little better life for now. Things will get tougher later."

I leaned against him and said, "I'll let you smell it to your heart's content. Last night I was worried that you suffered too much when you were a child, so I was giving you special treatment. Now I'm proven wrong."

"Ying'er, after we go out, you must hold my hand tightly and never let go,"

I nodded, and he took out two unassuming dough pieces: "These are ready. You can wear them when you're disguising yourself."

By the time we finished changing, it had already started exploding outside.

I looked in the mirror; my clothes were ordinary, and my appearance was even more ordinary.

"Ying'er, do you remember what I look like?"

"No need to remember, I'll know as soon as I get close to you."

Xie Yuancheng smiled very happily. He put on his two backpacks and then took my hand and went out from the other side.

"Yuancheng, can you carry one for me? It's too hard on you."

"I feel sorry for you, don't worry about it."

I followed him. The outside was even more chaotic than yesterday. There were injured people everywhere, and it was a sight too painful to look at.

We traveled all the way here, and it was filled with smoke. It was a real hail of bullets, and there were bomb-damaged sites everywhere. Even the airport entrance was destroyed; you can imagine what happened to other places.

Xie Yuancheng started looking for a location with his phone in his hand. I heard someone talking behind me, so I quickly pulled him to hide in the broken metal barrel.

"What's wrong?"

I covered his mouth: "There was someone talking just now, someone who didn't seem normal. Let's hide."

This broken iron barrel had a hole in it, and when I looked through it, I saw some strangely dressed, ugly people. Just like the ones I saw on the ship before, the weapons they were holding all looked the same.

Xie Yuancheng squeezed my hand: "How did they get here? Master said they've all been repaired."

I secretly took a video and sent it to the shopkeeper, but the network is not very good, so it will probably take a while to send.

"They're probably the ones who slipped through the net."

I watched them walk away and was about to pull Xie Yuancheng out first when suddenly someone stood up there.

Xie Yuancheng drew his short knife, and we intertwined our fingers. The man jumped down, and I saw his mutilated leg and his webbed feet. He was another ugly bastard!

I slowly approached Xie Yuancheng. The ones causing trouble here weren't the locals, but some who had slipped through the net.

There were no holes at the back, so we didn't know how many people were behind it. A lot of ugly guys walked over the metal barrel. Luckily, they didn't like kicking the metal barrel, otherwise Xie Yuancheng and I would have been in trouble.
