Chapter 267 Ah Ye, go to sleep...
The road out of the city was in extremely poor condition, a scene of devastation.
Most of the buildings on both sides of the street have collapsed and deformed, with broken steel bars protruding menacingly from the broken cement.
The road surface was completely destroyed, with piles of dirt and gravel forming mountains, and some sections were even completely blocked.
The fractured concrete slabs piled up on top of each other, forming a dangerous sloping structure that could collapse again at any time.
Such road conditions are completely unsuitable for vehicle traffic.
Not only because the road surface was severely damaged, but also because vehicles could cause fatal secondary injuries to survivors buried under the rubble.
Along the way, they encountered all sorts of survivors.
The wounded, stained with blood, supported each other and staggered through the ruins, each step seemingly precarious.
Desperate cries echoed through the ruins as people knelt on the rubble, desperately calling out the names of their loved ones.
Whenever they heard a faint response coming from under the rubble, they seemed to suddenly lose their minds, completely forgetting that they possessed superpowers, and frantically dug through the rubble with their already bloodied and mangled hands.
Many of the soldiers, dressed in the same worn-out uniforms as Huang Tao, are carrying out rescue operations in various locations.
Lu Nange and her group stood not far away to help.
He Zhuo and Ji Xian moved the heavy concrete blocks aside, while Chi Yi and Zhi Zhi manipulated the vines to pull the survivors out of the ruins.
While the recipients were still in a daze of surviving the ordeal, they turned and left.
When the weeping survivors wanted to express their gratitude, they looked around but could no longer find them.
They also encountered many groups of superhumans who were fighting zombies or mutated animals.
Of course, there are also quite a few groups of superhumans who commit robbery on the road.
Lu Nange and her group also encountered two groups of superhumans who, relying on their superior numbers, attempted to steal their searchlights and backpacks...
Adhering to the principle of "better to avoid trouble than to cause trouble," Lu Nange decisively put away the searchlight after two attempts.
Sure enough, the survivors they encountered afterwards all kept a safe distance from each other and silently disappeared into the darkness to continue their journey.
With Lu Nange and Shi Xu, two psychic ability users, leading the way, the others only needed to follow them.
Looking at the devastated ruins, Wen Qing said with deep concern, "Life is already difficult enough, and then an earthquake strikes. Without resources, reconstruction will be a huge struggle."
Lu Nange: "As Chen Mianmian mentioned before, most major bases have space-type ability users, and they should have stockpiled important supplies."
Chi Yanzhou: "Reconstruction isn't difficult. With so many people with superpowers, it will recover quickly. If they really can't survive, they'll naturally choose to migrate."
Lu Xici: "Humans are the most adaptable creatures."
Gu Wan: "Nan Nan, look...aren't there stars in the sky?"
Everyone looked up at the same time.
In the pitch-black night sky, a few stars were indeed faintly twinkling.
Whether it was because my eyes had adapted to the darkness or it was just an illusion, the visibility around me seemed to be a little better than before.
Lu Beiye, with Lu Nange holding his little hand, kept rubbing his eyes from sleepiness, his little head bobbing up and down like a chick pecking at rice.
Lu Nange bent down, intending to pick him up.
Lu Beiye mumbled sleepily, "My sister is tired too, I can walk by myself..."
"I'll do it." Lu Xici stretched out his hand.
Lu Xici scooped up Lu Beiye with one hand and gently patted the child's back: "Go to sleep."
Lu Nange pressed her younger brother's head against her older brother's shoulder: "Aye, your older brother and sister are here, go to sleep..."
Lu Beiye pressed her little face against Lu Xici's shoulder, looked at her sister's face, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she quickly closed her eyes.
Even though Lu Beiye was wearing a thermostatic suit, Lu Nange still took out a soft blanket from her spatial storage and covered him with it.
Once the child's even breathing could be heard, the group quickened their pace to leave the city.
In the darkness, their figures moved swiftly through the ruins, leaving only barely audible footsteps.
They had been walking for three or four hours and were still wandering around the city.
If Lu Xici hadn't taken some kind of powerful pill, she probably wouldn't have been able to carry Lu Beiye for such a long time.
The frequency of encountering survivors, zombies, and mutated beasts along the way was far too high.
Finally finding a relatively flat area, Shi Xu carefully explored it with his mental power and confirmed that there were no signs of life below.
He Zhuo and Ji Xian immediately activated their earth-elemental abilities and quickly constructed a simple temporary shelter.
The square-shaped earthen shield wall is five meters high, with the top remaining open.
Lu Nange took out tables and chairs from her spatial storage, and after everyone had arranged them neatly, she took out the food.
The aroma of food woke Lu Beiye up as he rubbed his eyes...
After struggling to land from Lu Xici's arms, the little guy saw that He Zhuo and Ji Xian were still maintaining the earthen shield. With a wave of his hand, a golden light flashed, and the surrounding earthen walls instantly turned into metal shield walls.
"Brother He Zhuo, Brother Ji Xian, come and rest for a while..." The child obediently sat down on the chair next to Lu Nange, took the hot milk handed to him by his sister, and sipped it slowly.
He Zhuo retracted the earthen shield and stared at the golden shield: "Old Ji, when can I level up to level four?"
Ji Xian glanced at him: "Getting jealous again?"
"Why are you speaking such blunt truths!" He Zhu grinned. "I'm just worried about our little A Ye. Of course... it would be even better if the earth shield could be maintained without any manipulation."
Ji Xian: "Then keep thinking about it."
"Hey He, stop standing there!" Wen Qing called out to He Zhuo, who was standing next to the golden shield, "Come and eat something!"
The warmth of everyday life is what truly comforts the human heart...
After eating the hot food, the fatigue from the past two days of travel seemed to be dispelled.
The group sat together, enjoying a rare moment of peace and contentment...
