After traversing a long, winding mountain path, the world finally opened up before us.
The three cars arrived at a place that resembled a mountain resort.
Everyone got off the bus one after another.
Linna was somewhat surprised.
He had originally thought that the conditions here would be even more rudimentary and shabby.
After all, according to Tang Hongshan and the others, this place was a temporary camp built three years ago, and the total number of people who fled here, including ordinary people and superhumans, was only a few thousand.
Linnaeus had originally imagined some simple wooden houses, tents, or the kind of mobile prefabricated houses made of sandwich panels commonly found in disaster areas.
I never expected this place to be built like a resort. Everything looks quite professional; you can even see grocery stores, supermarkets, weapons shops, and a proper medical clinic, as well as obvious agricultural, industrial, and catering businesses...
Linnai even spotted a school! And several students carrying backpacks!
Lin Nai stared blankly at the scene, almost in a daze. Gan Long walked up from behind and gently placed his hand on Lin Nai's shoulder: "How is it? Pretty good, right? This place isn't like Shan Hai City. There aren't any weird monsters appearing at night! The smiles on the faces of the people here are genuine, not expressions that only appear after their negative emotions have been stripped away by the evil god! This is a town truly inhabited by humans!"
Lin Nai paused for a moment, then said sincerely, "I never imagined that in such a post-apocalyptic world, there would still be such a paradise. It must have been incredibly difficult to build."
Gan Long said, "Actually, it's not too bad. The most difficult part is the materials. People with metal, wood, and earth attributes can create them. The rest is just a matter of everyone working together to build it. As long as everyone wants to restore the stability and order of the past, those little difficulties are nothing to worry about. Besides, there's been a lot of unity between superhumans and ordinary people here."
Lin Nai nodded.
"Back then, everything happened so suddenly. No one expected the demons to attack so suddenly," Gan Long said, letting out a long sigh. "And at first, everyone thought it was just a normal demon invasion, and many local departments didn't even take it seriously."
Linnaeus said calmly, "That's how war is. When real danger is about to strike, it often doesn't give you any warning."
"Yes," Ganlong said with emotion, "The human plane has indeed not fought such a large-scale interplane war for many years. Humans are a short-lived race, so they are also relatively good at forgetting, often forgetting the pain of their past. Because we have been at ease for too long, the interplane armies and Night Watchers in many places have become negligent and arrogant, failing to take the first wave of the demon race's offensive seriously. We did pay the price for underestimating them. If many leaders had paid more attention at the time, perhaps in the end only the capital and Shanhai City were left to eke out a living, and perhaps our human race could have won that battle."
Lin Nai did not respond, thinking to himself that this big, strong man was not as rough as he looked.
At this moment, Gan Long suddenly remembered: "Oh right, I haven't asked yet, young man, what's your name?"
Without hesitation, Lin Nai replied, "My name is Zheng Longhai."
"Oh, Xiao Zheng." Gan Long patted him on the shoulder again: "No matter which destroyed country you came from, as long as you maintain order here, you're family. If you need anything, just let me know. Don't be shy, understand?"
Linnaeus: "Okay."
"Hey? Right, this is your girlfriend, right? She's already awake?" Gan Long saw Ye Wan'er.
Upon hearing that she was being noticed, Wan Ye'er immediately became nervous. Lin Nai had already told her in the car earlier not to reveal her identity for the time being.
The girl bowed slightly nervously: "Yes...yes, hello...my name is...my name is Gao Xuan."
Gan Long chuckled: "Alright, Gao Xuan, right? She and Xiao Zheng are indeed a perfect match, haha!"
Cha Yizhou turned his head and glanced at the girl indifferently.
Lin Yuxi leaned closer to Wan'er and whispered, "Oh, Wan'er, your personality is just too conspicuous. People who know you will recognize you immediately!"
The child was troubled at night: "What should I do?"
Lin Yuxi said softly, "Change it a little. You can't be so shy. Your role now is Lin Nai's girlfriend. You need to take the initiative to go to his side and take his arm!"
Night: "Huh??"
"What 'ah'? That's normal for young couples. Hurry up and go..." Lin Yuxi pushed and shoved, laughing as she pushed Ye Wan'er next to Lin Nai.
At night, with her cheeks flushed, she stood beside Lin Nai and hesitantly reached out a small hand, using her tiny index finger and thumb to pull on Lin Nai's clothes.
Lin Yuxi covered her mouth and giggled. Old Zhang turned to look at her and said, "You really know how to do this..."
Cha Yizhou and Jiang Zhou left first.
"Zhou'er," Cha Yizhou suddenly said as they walked, "When you went to meet Captain Tang and the others, was what happened really the same as what they said?"
"..." Jiang Zhou paused, then quickly said, "It's the same, Master."
Cha Yizhou smiled faintly: "You're hiding something from me, aren't you?"
Jiang Zhou immediately tensed up: "I..."
"You want to repay their favor?"
"......"
"Never mind, don't make it difficult for me. I didn't ask you to say it." Cha Yizhou glanced at her. "However, this is a one-time thing, understand?"
Jiang Zhou quickly replied, "Yes!"
Then, Tang Hongshan arranged for Lin Nai and Ye Wan'er to stay here.
Lin Nai asked, "Yu Xi, where are A Guang and the others?"
Lin Yuxi said with a grin, "You'll see them soon!"
The group arrived at a place that looked like a blacksmith's shop.
All you could see were Ah Guang, Dingzi, Anan, and Yang Xiaochuan, four people gathered around a steel plate, hammering away at the metal.
Linnaeus: "..."
"Why are these guys working as blacksmiths?"
Tang Hongshan shrugged: "There's no other way, I have to find a job here."
Lin Yuxi ran over and tapped A-Guang, Dingzi, and the others on the head. A-Guang looked up in displeasure: "Yuxi, what are you doing?" Lin Yuxi's eyes were full of excitement as she said, "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me! Quickly, see who's here!"
Ah Guang, Dingzi, and the others looked up and saw Lin Nai and Ye Wan'er, asking in confusion, "Who are these?"
Lin Yuxi leaned close to their ears and whispered something.
"Huh?!?" A-Guang and the others were immediately shocked and almost cried out.
"Shh!" Tang Hongshan gestured, then said, "There are too many people here, let's go inside and talk."
Everyone walked into the house in unison.
High up,
Cha Yizhou stood on the roof of a house, watching them enter the room, his black and white Taoist robe fluttering in the wind.
