What divine law did Chapter 265 break?
While Lu Nange and her group were clearing out the last few mutated beasts, apart from Huang Tao, the other survivors had already taken the opportunity to slip away without a trace.
The moment the last mutated spider crashed to the ground, the tendrils had already spread across the entire area, gathering up all the scattered crystal cores.
Huang Tao wiped the sweat from his brow and said sincerely, "Thanks to everyone's help just now."
Chen Mianmian sized him up: "Are you from the 'Tenglong' base?"
Huang Tao nodded, his expression slightly anxious: "I'm so sorry, but I don't know the situation at our base after the earthquake, so I have to take my leave."
"What a coincidence." Chen Mianmian sheathed her dagger. "We're going the same way, shall we go together?"
Shen Mianmian turned to Lu Nange and her group: "Nannan, everyone... thank you. I'm leaving now. Until we meet again, take care."
Lu Nange's gaze shifted slightly, landing on Huang Tao's faded old military uniform and blood-stained cuffs.
She silently took off her backpack, retrieved some antibiotics and compressed dry food from her storage space, and handed them to Huang Tao.
"Thank you for your kindness, but Article 7 of the military regulations clearly stipulates that it is forbidden to accept supplies from the masses." Huang Tao stood up straight, his voice crisp and clear.
Without a word, Lu Nange pressed the backpack into his arms: "Keep it. The situation is unclear after the earthquake; it can be used to help injured people on the road."
She paused. "It's... mutual aid among survivors."
Huang Tao's Adam's apple bobbed, and he finally gave a solemn, standard military salute: "Thank you, comrade."
Lu Nange turned to look at Chen Mianmian, who immediately waved her hand and took two steps back: "Don't look at me! I don't want it, our base has plenty of supplies! There are so many of you and only a few backpacks, you can keep them for yourselves..."
Lu Nange: "..." Does she look like someone who distributes relief food everywhere? Giving it to Huang Tao was purely out of respect for soldiers.
She didn't reply, but instead opened Lu Xici's backpack, took out two powerful flashlights, and threw them at him.
Chen Mianmian caught it deftly, twirled it in her palm, and said, "This is useful, thanks."
She turned and waved, her silhouette appearing particularly dashing in the lamplight: "Each strives in their own way, though separated by a thousand miles, we all share the same wind... Nan Nan, it was a pleasure to meet you all. Goodbye..."
Watching her retreating figure, Lu Nange suddenly recalled her hysterical state when facing the poplar tree, and whispered, "The wind comes and goes, but freedom is ultimately found. Chen Mianmian, take care."
Chen Mianmian's steps suddenly halted, but she didn't turn around. Instead, she quickened her pace and ran forward, her voice carried on the wind: "Have a safe journey..."
Only after the two figures completely disappeared into the night did Lu Nange and the others remove their goggles and masks.
Wen Qing jumped off Gangzi's back and first grabbed Gu Wan and Luo Xingyou to check them: "Let me see, are you injured?"
Lu Nange told Zhizhi to take back all the searchlights.
As the lights went out one by one, the surroundings were plunged into thick darkness, with only the soft breathing of the crowd remaining.
Wen Qing's fingertips glowed with a pale light as she checked each of her teammates' injuries.
After the inspection was completed, a small spotlight was hung on the vines, its glow illuminating the area where everyone was standing.
Chi Yanzhou looked around at the collapsed buildings and frowned, saying, "There's no safe place to stay in the city anymore. Shall we just leave?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Chi Yi stepped forward and said, "Young Master, Miss Lu, we didn't have time to collect many of the crystal cores from the batch of level-two frogs we killed earlier."
Lu Nange: "Let's go, Brother Chi, lead the way. Even a mosquito is still meat, we can't waste it."
The group followed Chi Yi forward.
"How could there be an earthquake all of a sudden? In just a glance, you all vanished before my eyes..." Wen Qing's eyes were still red as she walked, saying, "Thankfully, everyone is alright..."
Luo Xingyou gently patted Wen Qing's shoulder: "Next time we fight, let's ask Xiao Zhizhi to wrap our ankles with vines so we won't get separated again."
Gu Wan nodded in agreement: "Xingyou's idea is good. The main thing is to keep the three of us and Aye by Nannan's side..."
He Zhuo: "Gu Wanwan, are you saying it's okay if we lose it?"
Gu Wan: "A beauty queen in Beijing, what a vision! We're girls and kids, we can't live without Nan Nan... Besides, even my brother isn't worried, why are you so anxious?"
Gu Qi: "I was still thinking about how you wanted me dead before the apocalypse so you could inherit the Gu family fortune..."
"Gu Wanwan!" He Zhuo's eyes widened like saucers: "You're so heartless! Gu Qi is still your own brother, the one with the same parents!"
Gu Wan turned to look at Lu Nange, blinked, and said, "Nannan, don't you think this is what they call 'The emperor isn't worried, but the eunuch is'?"
He Zhuo looked at Gu Qi with a pained expression: "Old Gu, can't you do something about her?"
Gu Qi casually spread his hands: "I shouldn't even be alive now..."
"In this vast sea of people," He Zhuo said, mimicking Xi Shi clutching her heart, "I had to run into you two siblings. This isn't fate, it's clearly retribution!"
Shi Xu nodded slightly: "Yes, he deserves it."
He Zhuo reached out to put his arm around Shi Xu's shoulder, but the other person nimbly dodged to the side, almost causing him to stumble and miss.
He Zhuo: "Xuxu, come here, tell Uncle, why do you look so serious? Are you just naturally averse to smiling?"
Shi Xu internally screamed – [What divine law have I broken?]
On the surface, however, he remained calm and composed, only uttering a curt, "You unfilial son, why don't you lick your lips and kill yourself?"
He Zhuo exaggeratedly covered his ears: "Ouch! There was a loud 'crack' sound, it almost burst my eardrums—"
He winked mischievously. "Do you think it's because Xuxu broke down?"
Luo Xingyou raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Shixu has been restored?"
"Of course!" He Zhuo proudly put his arm around Shi Xu's shoulder: "Our nephew, my little sister's 'good boy' is back in good health?"
Shi Xu glanced coldly at He Zhuo: "If you're so bored, shake your head and listen to the sound of the ocean?"
Lu Beiye suddenly stopped and looked up at Lu Nange, his eyes sparkling: "Sister, so I don't have to take care of the child anymore, right?"
The story unfolds abruptly!
