She had taken all of Lin Yue's parents' hard work and promised to find Lin Yue a girlfriend... ah, no, a boyfriend. She succeeded in finding him, but Lin Yue turned around and dumped him. So, she didn't really complete her job, did she?
Moreover, the second and third male leads aren't around right now, so she can't even have a backup option. She has to try to seduce Lin Yue, and hopefully she can go back and bring Cang Yu along.
Ugh, this is such a headache!
Lin Yue had no idea what she was thinking. If she had known, she would have given her a good scolding.
"Kongling, I drove for several hours this afternoon. Stop circling around in front of me, it's making me dizzy and giving me a headache." Lin Yue raised her hand to her forehead.
She was genuinely dizzy; anyone would get dizzy if someone kept spinning around in front of them.
"Fine, I won't spin anymore!" Kong Ling stopped, standing in front of Lin Yue, and asked again, "You really don't miss Cang Yu?"
“He has his own life. He has been given a second chance at life, and I don’t want him to die with me again. If this doesn’t work, then he will really be dead.”
In short, she didn't want Cang Yu to follow her down this path of certain death. Regardless of whether he could be reborn, she hoped that Cang Yu could live a good life.
"Yueyue, why don't you ask him what he thinks?" Kongling still wanted to try to salvage the situation.
"No need to ask. These are my parents, my business. There's no need to involve others." Lin Yue turned and headed towards the villa, eating as she went. By the time she reached the villa, she was full.
"Alright!" Kong Ling had been eating all the way, and only replied with these two words when they arrived at the small villa.
If she doesn't want this one, she can just leave it. After arriving in J City, there will be male fourth and fifth men. She can always start a new relationship. In this timeline, Lin Yue can be guaranteed to have a boyfriend by her side. When the mission ends, she will also gain energy, and if she really wants to do something, she will be able to do it better.
Lin Yue raised an eyebrow at Kong Ling, wondering why she gave up so easily.
However, she didn't want to delve into it. It was so late, she just wanted to get some sleep and continue her journey after she woke up. She was two days behind her parents in terms of travel time, and she didn't know if she could catch up.
Lin Yue spent a proper night camping in the "wilderness," and at six o'clock the next morning, she got up on time, holding a steamed bun in one hand and the steering wheel in the other, and continued on her way.
Along the way, the highway conditions were inconsistent. Sometimes there was nothing on a long stretch of road, and other times there were two or three kilometers of abandoned cars blocking the road. In such cases, she had to get out of the car and walk, which severely slowed down her progress.
However, she had plenty of food and water, so she didn't need to get off the highway to find places to resupply, which saved her a lot of time, so it was a win-win situation.
Nothing unusual happened on the road today. At six o'clock in the evening, Lin Yue stopped the car, intending to go into the space to eat something before coming out to drive for three hours to catch up on her journey.
Just as she was about to make a move, she saw two men walking towards her from the bottom of the highway. Judging from their appearance, their purpose was clear: they were coming for her.
The embankment beside the highway was a bit sloping, and Lin Yue couldn't see what the person coming up looked like at first. She took out her submachine gun, ready to raise it at any moment.
The two men were quite fast, and it didn't take them long to climb to the edge of the highway guardrail. When Lin Yue saw them, she felt that they were somewhat familiar.
"Oh, Miss Lin, is that you?"
Before Lin Yue could speak, the other party had already spoken first.
Lin Yue carefully went through it in her mind before she remembered who these two people were. These two people were the two uncles who had volunteered to guard the door for her before the apocalypse!
Those who are more robust are surnamed Li, while those who are slightly shorter are surnamed Huang.
Remembering who it was, Lin Yue remained wary, but a smile appeared on her face: "Oh, it's Uncle Li and Uncle Huang. What are you doing here?"
She didn't put the gun down, but covered it with a black dress so it wasn't visible.
As the saying goes, "One should not have the heart to harm others, but one should not be without the heart to guard against others." They were not familiar with each other to begin with. Although the two of them were indeed kind and good people before, in this world of natural disasters and apocalypse, everyone can change. It is always better for her to be more cautious.
If the two of them really have bad intentions, then they should just kill the person.
"Hehe! This is our village! We wait at the highway exit every day. If any cars stop to rest in this area, we'll come up here. The village has set up a place to stay, and we usually invite passing travelers to stay." Uncle Huang laughed a little foolishly.
Although the village had stored grain, they couldn't just sit around and do nothing; they had to find a way to earn some food so that everyone could survive for a long time.
“Miss Lin, we should thank you. If it weren’t for the grain you sent us, we might not have made it home alive. There’s a simple guesthouse in our village. It’s getting dark, and it’s not comfortable to sleep in the car. Why don’t you stay in our village for the night?” Uncle Li asked tentatively.
He really wanted to tell Lin Yue that he had offered her a free stay as a thank you, but he was afraid that if he said it so bluntly, Lin Yue would think they were scammers, so he didn't say it.
Lin Yue listened to what the two were saying and didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but since she could sleep in her spatial dimension, she didn't really want to sleep in the village's guesthouse.
However, we're already close to L City. Uncle Li's village didn't go to the base or other places where survivors gather. Is it possible that the villages along this route are all like this?
Thinking about this, Lin Yue felt she should inquire about it.
"Uncle Li, Uncle Huang, I'd like to ask, are there any other villages like yours that provide accommodation for travelers along this stretch of road?"
When the two men heard her ask that, they felt a chill in their hearts and looked somewhat disappointed, but they still answered honestly, "Yes, there are five more villages beyond here. If you want to drive a little further, you can find a place to stay."
Sigh! There's nothing they can do. The people want to keep going, and they can't force them to stay overnight. Doing so would be no different from robbing people.
Seeing their disappointed yet determined expressions, Lin Yue found it a little amusing and began to believe, with a slight glimmer of faith, that they weren't from a black village.
Upon hearing that there were five more villages like this ahead, Lin Yue immediately abandoned her plan to continue walking.
It would take quite a while to drive through these five villages. She had already been driving all day and didn't want to drive all night again. Right now, she just felt sore back and aching muscles, and was very uncomfortable.
But if she just stopped anywhere, she was afraid that people like Uncle Li might be waiting under the highway and see her and her car disappear...
So rather than spending the night in an unfamiliar place, which would be equally unfamiliar, at least she knew these two people here, so she was somewhat familiar with them.
"Gentlemen, how many supplies do you need for a night's stay in your village?"
"Just two jin of inferior rice for one night, and one jin of good rice." Uncle Huang immediately answered when Lin Yue asked this question.
Uncle Li nodded in agreement.
"Can I use cold-resistant potatoes or sweet potatoes? Two and a half pounds a night." These are basically the hard currency these days, so it's reasonable for her to take this.
"Yes, of course!" Uncle Li nodded vigorously.
