Taking advantage of the cover of night, the group climbed over the wall and escaped.
They all have the strength of at least a fourth-level awakener, so it is not difficult for them to climb over a ten-meter-high city wall quietly.
The survivors' shantytown outside the city walls was quiet.
After climbing over the city wall, the group tiptoed quickly and quietly through the messy shantytown.
For the survivors at the bottom of society, apart from the opportunity to obtain food, most of the time they would choose to lie quietly in their own huts.
Because the less activity you do, the less energy your body consumes, and accordingly, your need for food can be greatly reduced.
At a time when food is extremely difficult to obtain, doing everything possible to save physical energy is a basic survival skill that every survivor at the bottom of society must possess.
So as night fell, almost every low-level survivor living in the shantytowns outside the city walls had fallen asleep.
They may not have been sleeping soundly, but they all had their eyes closed.
Their senses to the outside world subsequently became dull, making it easier for the group to retreat.
It took only about ten minutes for the group to completely leave the shantytown area.
Everyone in the small group breathed a sigh of relief, and their originally tense hearts calmed down a little.
"Alright, follow the route I synchronized to your smart bracelets and continue on your way. Qinghe's injuries haven't healed yet, so Yuze and Xiaojing, you two will be responsible for clearing the way. Xiaochen, you and Rongrong will be responsible for covering the rear. Our route is an abandoned highway, so aside from clearing the way and covering the rear, there's no need to worry too much about the left and right sides."
Fei Changyuan arranged it calmly.
Everyone had no objection to this arrangement. They kept a little distance from each other and then moved forward quickly on the abandoned road like ghosts.
The team's marching speed is affected by the person who leads the way.
Gu Yuze and Cong Jing have the heaviest tasks. Not only do they have to be careful about possible dangers, but they are also responsible for checking the road conditions at the front.
After the two of them have checked, the people behind can follow comfortably and confidently.
It seems that everyone's moving speed is basically the same, but in fact the effort required is completely at the same level.
Chen Yan and Qin Yourong fell at the end of the team. Relying on the auxiliary scanning function of the smart bracelet, they always paid attention to the movements in the area near the rear.
Although the nuclear winter has long ended and most of the radioactive dust has completely dissipated, the pollution covering the surface of the planet is still there.
It's okay during the day, at most it looks foggy, as if it is always slightly cloudy.
But at night, the already dim starlight and moonlight were simply unable to penetrate the filth, resulting in extremely low visibility at night. Not to say that you couldn't see your hand in front of you, but it was at least depressingly dark.
Humans are visual animals. Among all human senses, vision is the most developed and has the strongest information processing capabilities.
Except for the blind, almost everyone is accustomed to using their eyes to perceive the world.
Therefore, once the visual ability is blocked and one can only perceive the surrounding situation through other senses, it will not only lead to high mental tension, but also the physical consumption will increase exponentially.
The smart bracelet can occasionally scan the presence of some mutant creatures.
However, the mutant creatures scanned were relatively far away from the small group, and the number of people in the group was not small. For those lone mutant creatures, the advantage in numbers could form a very effective deterrent.
Compared with humans, mutant creatures that are accustomed to nocturnal activities have stronger sense of smell and perception. Even if they cannot see the specific situation clearly, they can still determine the number of people in a small group more clearly.
Even though these mutant creatures have limited intelligence, they know that they can see humans traveling at night, and in large numbers, so they are definitely not to be trifled with.
Unless they are hunting in groups, lone mutant creatures will basically not take the initiative to provoke such human groups.
It went more smoothly than expected. Nothing happened that night. The next morning, the color of the sky finally began to fade from darkness. The whole night's journey did not make the people in the small group feel tired. On the contrary, the alternation of day and night made everyone feel refreshed.
Chen Yan took out enough food for everyone. Everyone gathered together, simply prepared the food, and then had a comfortable and satisfying meal.
Although Li Fengnian already had a relatively acceptable explanation and judgment about Chen Yan's portable warehouse, when he saw Chen Yan using the portable warehouse again and activating it directly without any unnecessary movements, Li Fengnian still felt it was too absurd.
Is this really the power of technology?
At least in his understanding, the presentation of technology always needs to be achieved through the creation of various tools as a medium.
Otherwise it’s not technology, it’s science fiction…
The other members of the small group didn't react much.
First, their understanding of science and technology is far less profound than Li Fengnian's, and second, Fei Changyuan's initial requirements and reminders are still fresh in their minds.
Chen Yan was essentially revealing secrets to them bit by bit, and the resulting increase in their trust was considerable.
So when faced with things that happened to Chen Yan that they could not understand, their first reaction was not to explore, but to assume that it was reasonable and accept it with pleasure.
"About three kilometers ahead is a small town on the edge of Kahn's controlled territory. Let's enter that town to rest and inquire about Kahn's current situation. If there are no problems, we'll continue our journey and strive to reach Kahn's core area before noon."
After eating and drinking, Fei Changyuan wiped his mouth and spoke with a smile.
The group set out again, and soon arrived outside the small town that Fei Changyuan mentioned.
Judging from the location of the town and the layout of the buildings, this so-called town should have been a service area on the highway before the catastrophe broke out.
However, the service area is quite large and looks like it can accommodate at least a thousand people.
In addition to the dome-shaped building in the central area, there are hundreds of parking areas and charging devices surrounding the building.
Unfortunately, all the parking areas are now filled with sheds, which basically occupy all the parking areas. The charging devices look extremely old and have obviously been abandoned for a long time. It seems that they have no electricity for a long time.
