Chapter 55 A Strange World
"Do you want to go home? Can't you stay here anymore?" Rong Xianxian asked with a smile.
Xia Kai scratched his head as if embarrassed, "I am a little worried about them. I wonder if they...?" He looked worried as he spoke.
"Then everyone should have a good rest tonight, and we will go out of the city tomorrow morning to take a look." Rong Xianxian thought about the news she got from Shang Yuege today, and was also very curious about the changes in the outside world.
Rong Xianxian didn't want to take them north right away, she just wanted to take everyone out to understand the situation. Otherwise, these guys who were full of self-confidence might think that she was a coward and was deliberately delaying time?
"Sister Rong, didn't you say that the places outside the city that haven't been cleared by the army are very dangerous?" Wang Lin said disapprovingly.
"Sister Rong, I'm just a little worried. I don't want to go home right away. If you have something to do, let's wait." Xia Kai explained quickly.
"Our destination is the capital. Cui Lie and Wang Lin live there, Jiang Jie lives in the north of the capital, Xia Kai and Wang Qirui live in the west of the capital, right on our way back to the capital, and I and my parents are in the mountainous area far from the capital. Wang Lin always thought that I was waiting for Qingyun to come back, but I wasn't. I was just waiting for the right time to leave."
It was impossible to open their hearts and speak freely, as some of the information learned from past lives could not be explained to them.
Although there is no danger in moving around in the city with everyone's current strength, it does not help improve our strength.
"Sister Rong, is it true that none of the people sent out by the army have returned?" Xia Kai asked cautiously.
"Sister Rong, I'm not doubting you. I'm just wondering if the army is hiding something and keeping it secret from the outside world." Xia Kai quickly added, fearing that everyone would misunderstand.
Just as Shang Yuege suspected, why was the army invincible in the city, but there was no news after leaving the city?
"Maybe. Let's go out of town tomorrow to take a look. We just go to check out the situation and can't go too far. We go in the morning and must be back at 2 p.m. at the latest." Rong Xianxian made the decision after thinking about it.
Others had no objection.
Clean up the mess after dinner.
Water is a precious resource nowadays, so Rong Xianxian uses disposable tableware for everyone, which is thrown away after use. The bottom of the pot is poured into the toilet and flushed away with the remaining water from washing.
Wipe it with toilet paper, rinse it with water and continue using it next time.
Next time we go out into the wild, we won’t have to be so water-efficient.
With their current strength, it is easy to go to the river to get water.
The windows were closed, the heavy curtains were drawn tightly, the bulky wooden sofa was blocking the doorway and did not move, and the small window in the basement floor leading to and from the utility room was held down with heavy objects.
There are many rooms in the three-story villa. Rong Xianxian chose a room on the second floor, which has only one window opening inwards.
Everyone else also chose their own rooms. Jiang Jie set up a mechanism at the window sill at the door, and also pulled many silk threads with bells hung on them in the living room corridor on the first floor.
After saying good night to each other, everyone returned to their rooms.
Rong Xianxian took out a large hand-cranked camping lantern from the sachet.
The small house was instantly illuminated by light.
Children are always full of energy. Xuanxuan and Xiaoluo were jumping around happily on the big bed, and the little bird that was dozing off just now also started chirping happily.
Rong Xianxian took out a talisman pen from the sachet. This pen was one of the spoils from the battle at the gas station.
Jiang Jie did not choose this pen at that time, and later it was given to Rong Xianxian.
Rong Xianxian only recently discovered that using this brush to draw talismans can increase the success rate.
I guess this pen is made of some special material.
Rong Xianxian mobilized the spiritual energy in her body and infused it into the talisman pen. Today, Rong Xianxian had tried the power of the defensive talisman, so she decided to draw a few more. This thing was better than those leather armors.
The two children need to prepare a few more tickets, and I, Cui Lie, Jiang Jie and the others also need one each.
It is also necessary to draw a few more sound transmission notes. Due to Rong Xianxian's current level, the transmission distance is limited, and the usage time is also limited, but it is better than having nothing.
They should also draw a few more spirit storage talismans, as this thing is the key to improving their combat effectiveness.
After drawing the soul-storing talisman, Rong Xianxian felt a sense of emptiness in her meridians, a feeling she had never experienced before.
Rong Xianxian was preparing things for tomorrow's use, and the two children had already fallen asleep.
She was meditating and practicing, and unexpectedly discovered that the speed at which she absorbed spiritual energy through practice was much faster than before.
It seems that the practice of the martial arts has made progress again. The Zhenling Sutra says that the more meridians are opened in the Chongmai Realm, the faster the spiritual energy can be absorbed.
At that time, when she had just broken through the realm, because she was practicing top-level skills, she opened up more than 600 acupoints, and happened to obtain two inner elixirs. After entering the Chongmai realm, she absorbed spiritual energy much faster than ordinary people.
It's only because her meridians are wider and tougher than those of ordinary people, and the amount of spiritual energy stored in her body is extremely huge, that it cannot be revealed.
It was also because Rong Xianxian had never been involved in a tough battle. In her previous life, she was stuck in the Spirit Induction Realm and had no experience, so she did not realize the importance of spiritual energy reserves.
If the talisman-making master of the previous life knew that a talisman-making master with the cultivation level of Chongmai Realm made twenty or thirty talismans in a row, he would definitely think it was nonsense.
However, Rong Xianxian only felt a slight emptiness in her meridians.
After finishing the exercise, I lay down next to my child, thinking about tomorrow's travel route, and gradually fell asleep.
The next morning, feeling refreshed after a good night's sleep, they looked at the door that was blocked tightly by the sofa and decided to go out through the small window leading to the basement.
Chongzhou is surrounded by mountains on three sides and is surrounded by mountain villages. There is only a highway leading to Binyang in the north, and their route to the north also requires passing through Binyang.
After Rong Xianxian discussed with Cui Lie and others, they felt that the current mountainous area should be more dangerous and difficult to drive through, so they decided to explore in the direction of Binyang.
Off-road vehicles with high chassis and large wheels can adapt to most road conditions. It is okay within the urban area. Although the road is bumpy and not very smooth, you need to take a detour when encountering special road conditions. Overall, it is still smooth and we can get out of the city.
After leaving the city, several people were dumbfounded. The original highway was gone and they could not find the road at all. There were lush forests in all directions. Rong Xianxian and her friends used to live in high-rise buildings. When they looked into the distance, they had noticed that there were many tall trees outside the city. At that time, Rong Xianxian thought that it was affected by spiritual energy and some originally short trees had grown tall. Now it seems that this is not the case at all. These trees are species that they have never seen before.
There are some narrow and rugged paths between the woods, which can accommodate two or three people at the same time, but cars cannot pass through.
Looking back, although the city is a little dilapidated, it is still made of reinforced concrete. Looking ahead, there is a dense and deep jungle full of unknown trees. It seems like there is a strange world ahead.
