"The sky has changed, and it's still unknown what the situation will be like in the future. Ning Hong, we are not just following the footsteps of those in front of us, we are the ones walking in front of us." He turned around and continued to look at the trees on the street.
The vibrant green trees should have turned yellow and shed their leaves like the trees next to them, but they began to grow differently. They continued to grow, and some of the roots even grew so long that they bulged the concrete on the ground.
A pedestrian accidentally tripped over an extended branch and fell, only to see the roots of the tree sway a little, like a ribbon played with by a person, and the waves began to slowly spread towards the distance, and the roots of the green leaves one after another had tiny fluctuations.
Xie Yan saw all of this. He raised his head and looked towards the center of the city.
"Ning Hong, we will come here again one day." After he said that, he stood up, hugged Xiao Hai and walked out the door.
"One day? Will it still be like this when we return?" Ning Hong thought of the Xie family's assets and the promises made to them. Originally, they would have been able to take back the Xie family's assets after clearing this area. Now, giving up all that and going to those mountain villages...was it all worth it?
"Thank you, Mr. Xu and the others are back." Feng Nian looked at Xie Yan walking out of the house and immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Hmm." Xie Yan looked at Feng Nian, who seemed to be in exceptionally high spirits. "Why, is there any good news?"
Feng Nian, upon hearing Xie Yan's casual question, immediately felt like he was being taken care of by his superior. He happily said, "I'm happy to be able to leave this shabby place. Zhu Li and the others are the same." Although Feng Nian didn't know why Zhu Li was so happy, he felt that she seemed even happier than he was. This must be a good thing, Feng Nian thought to himself. He felt that he could bet on himself and take this gamble. He trusted his instincts and followed Xie Yan and the others out of here.
"It will be better in the future." Xie Yan nodded. The collected instruments were enough to build a base, and their lives would be much more convenient in the future.
Feng Nian had no idea what Xie Yan and the others were planning. He simply assumed they were going to a mountain village to farm and make a living. He also assumed Xie Yan's words were just empty promises to comfort him. He smiled casually and nodded in agreement.
Xie Yan didn't explain much, but held Xiao Hai and looked at Xu Xuening who was walking over.
"Mom" Xiao Hai opened his arms excitedly when he saw Xu Xuening.
Xu Xuening looked at her son and immediately went over to catch Xiao Hai.
"My dear grandson, grandma will hold you!" When Xu's mother saw her little grandson, her worries disappeared. She took her precious grandson from Xu Xuening's arms and felt satisfied.
"Sister, you're finally back." Han Xiaoxiao looked at Xu Xuening excitedly. He had been afraid that Xu Xuening would really stay in Huacheng and not come back. Then he really considered whether to leave here and sneak in.
"Xue Ning, this is..." Mother Xu looked at Han Xiaoxiao. She had never given birth to a son this big.
"Han Xiaoxiao, the partner who came out with me in Lincheng. This is Xie Yan, Boss Xie. Ning Hong..." Xu Xuening introduced the people present to Xu's mother one by one.
After the two sides got acquainted, Zhu Li and the others came over. "Feng Nian, we're ready, how about you guys?" Everyone in Zhu Li's group decided to follow Xie Yan. Feng Nian's group, however, was mostly composed of ordinary people, and they encountered a lot of problems when counting the number of people.
Feng Nian shook his head. "Only fifty-four people decided to follow Master Xie." The rest worried they'd be killed by these people if they left, or they simply worried they wouldn't survive outside. After all the clamor, only fifty-four people remained determined to follow Xie Yan.
"Not bad, I thought you didn't have any!" Julie laughed unceremoniously.
"Nonsense, how can there not be one? Obviously I count as one!" Feng Nianxiang argued angrily.
Hearing Feng Nian's words, Zhu Li burst out laughing, "That's right. You are indeed one."
Woo woo woo
A long blast of trumpets sounded.
After hearing this, everyone present involuntarily raised their heads and looked in the direction of the sound.
"Is this the alarm in the city center?" This voice also sounded on the first day of the apocalypse.
Hearing the voice, Feng Nian and Zhu Li both looked around cautiously.
The ground rumbled and shook...
