Ye Lei didn't care. Anyway, the safety of the shelter was not a problem. He could take this opportunity to let those goddesses stretch their muscles. They were holding their phones all day, and their necks were getting problems.
Back at the shelter, he saw the goddesses working happily in the manor and felt very satisfied; this was the state a vibrant young man should be in.
Looking at the lively scene before him, Ye Lei felt a surge of satisfaction. These girls working here not only got exercise but also strengthened their bonds. He hoped this positive atmosphere could continue.
However, Ye Lei didn't have time to get involved. He was rushing to the Three Trees Farm. He was worried about Zhao Meili, fearing that she didn't know they had moved to Yixiantian. If she went back and saw the empty campus, he wondered what might happen.
This wasn't exactly an adventurous trip, so he wouldn't take them out for training. He'd just bring Xiu Xiu and Hong Hai'er, along with his mighty Undying Skeleton. As for the Gale Leopard and the Poison Mist Serpent, they'd be responsible for guarding the shelter.
When the girls in the manor saw Ye Lei bring Xiu Xiu and Hong Hai'er out, they knew he was going out again and quickly surrounded him.
"Brother Lei, where are you going?"
Are you going out again?
"Aren't you taking us this time?"
"Actually, I really want to go out with you too."
…………
The girls chattered incessantly.
"Alright, quiet down. I'm going to Three Trees Farm to pick up Zhao Meili. It's not like I'm going on an adventure, so you don't need to go."
Ye Lei waved his hand and said.
"Oh, I see. Then you should be back soon, right?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, that's how it will be."
"Brother Lei, you're so amazing, what could possibly happen to you!"
"Hopefully. I've already had someone collect and prepare the shelter's communication system, and I believe it will be restored soon. In the meantime, take good care of the manor. There will be more and more people coming in, understand?"
"Yes, Brother Lei, I understand."
The girls answered with playful smiles.
"Alright, I'm leaving. Remember, someone needs to be watching the monitors at all times. No one is allowed to enter the shelter. If anyone doesn't listen, just send them back."
Ye Lei would repeatedly remind them before leaving home, worried that if something went wrong with the shelter, all his efforts would be in vain.
"Yes, you'd better hurry up and leave, or it'll get dark, haha..."
It seems the girls are getting a little annoyed by his nagging.
"Gone"
After Ye Lei finished speaking, he left the shelter and arrived at the entrance of the scenic area. He took out a luxury Mercedes-Benz SUV from his spatial storage, and Xiu Xiu and Hong Hai'er got into the car.
Ye Lei gave them a few crystal cores as snacks so that they would stay quiet on the way and head towards the Three Trees Farm according to the map left by Zhao Meili.
Along the way, the roadside was lined with withered, yellow weeds that had lost their green color after being exposed to the scorching sun, creating a desolate scene.
However, it's still better than a dilapidated city. Occasionally, you can still find a towering tree that, despite being exposed to the scorching sun for so long, hasn't died. Its leaves are just slightly scorched and yellowish-green, which still gives people a glimmer of hope.
The mountains in the distance are all a uniform yellowish-brown, with the scattered green spots almost completely covered up. Only some pines and cypresses stubbornly retain their green color, but they look listless, as if they might be dried out at any moment.
With dry trees and weeds all around, it only takes a spark to start a fire. There is no way to rescue or extinguish the fire now, so we can only let it burn freely.
This scene filled him with utter despair, as if the whole world was heading towards destruction. Seeing this, Ye Lei was filled with fear and unease about the future, wondering when such days would end.
Just as he was frowning in worry, the system's voice sounded in his mind:
[Host, the system has detected an urgent task. Would you like to open it now?]
An urgent mission? What could it be? The scavenger tribe has been wiped out, could there be some other organization? Open it now!
[Yes, urgent mission: Three Trees Farm is under attack by demon hunters. Zhao Meili and her father are in mortal danger. Please rush to their rescue as soon as possible. If you are killed, the rescue mission may fail. System reward: points upon completion.]
Witchers? Yes, the scavenger said they were an unusual group of survivors who had lived in the Hundred Thousand Mountains for a long time. But why would they attack Three Trees Farm? And his goddess Zhao Meili is in imminent danger. He has to hurry up and get to work.
Thinking of this, Ye Lei slammed on the gas pedal. Anyway, there wasn't a single abandoned car on the wide road. However, the sudden acceleration caught Xiu Xiu off guard, and she fell backward.
"Brother, are you going to speed?"
Xiuxiu was clearly dissatisfied; she gripped the seatbelt tightly, her eyes revealing a hint of tension and discontent.
"Yeah, how was it? Was it fun?"
Ye Lei's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smug smile. He enjoyed the thrill, as if he were pushing his limits.
"It was pretty enjoyable, but you should have at least given me a heads-up!"
Xiuxiu glared at Ye Lei, her tone carrying a hint of complaint.
Ye Lei smiled, not paying attention to Xiu Xiu's words. He felt that this kind of sudden surprise was more likely to bring him pleasure.
"Sister, if Dad had told you beforehand, you wouldn't have had such a great time, right?"
"I'm sitting in the back seat," Red Boy said with a smile.
Xiuxiu turned to look at Hong Haier and nodded: "Yes, little brother is right!"
It seems the two siblings have a good relationship, and Xiuxiu is no longer bothered that Ye Lei didn't inform her beforehand.
"Dad, drive faster! I'm going to fall asleep if you keep going like this!"
Red Boy urged excitedly, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Ye Lei couldn't help but laugh, thinking that this little guy was really daring. He stepped on the gas again, increasing the speed, but at the same time remained cautious. After all, this was a winding mountain road, and going too fast could easily lead to danger.
"Alright, sit tight, little ones!" Ye Lei shouted.
As the car accelerated, it sped through the curves like lightning, and Xiuxiu and Honghaier screamed with excitement.
"How's it going now? Is it fast?"
"Faster, faster!"
"They really don't know the dangers of riding in a car," Red Boy shouted loudly.
"It's not that Dad doesn't want to drive fast, it's just that this is already the maximum speed!"
Ye Lei said with a smile.
"This is so boring, why is it so slow?"
"Why don't you drive?"
Ye Lei said jokingly.
"I'm not driving this piece of junk!"
Good heavens, this is a customized luxury Mercedes SUV, and Red Boy actually called it a lousy car!
