Chapter 440 The Savior Arrives
Ye Li looked around and saw low earthen hills covered with shrubs everywhere. There was no place to hide from the rain.
"Xixi, can we hold on a little longer?" Ye Li took all the things from Xixi's hands and put them on her back. "Mom will get these. You hold Mom's hand and follow Mom's steps closely, okay?"
"Yeah." Xixi responded softly, her little face very pale.
Xiaomu's situation was not much better, but he always tried to act like a little adult. Even though he was very cold, he kept a straight face and followed Ye Li's steps unwaveringly, without complaining or feeling tired.
"Xiao Mu, give me what you have in your hand." Ye Li stretched out his hand.
Xiao Mu pursed his lips and said, "I can lift it."
Wu Xuan was already carrying enough things and he couldn't free up his hands to help. Everyone was carrying a heavy burden.
"Thump thump..." Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded behind everyone. Everyone was stunned for a moment. Could it be that they heard it wrong?
There is the sound of a car at this time?
Everyone turned their heads and saw a large car coming quickly from two hundred meters away.
Wu Xuan squinted and looked at it and said, "This is not the Holy City's convoy."
"Not from the farming tribe either." Yanque followed up.
"Even if it's someone else's car, we have to try and see if we can stop it." Ye Li threw the things in his hand to the side of the road, then walked to the middle of the road, opened his arms, and shouted loudly: "Stop! Stop!"
Winter is coming and the temperature will only get lower. If it keeps raining, they will get sick without a warm place to rest.
In the end times, if a person gets sick, it is like losing half his life.
Everyone threw what they were holding to the side of the road, blocked the road, and waved their arms vigorously to ask the other party to stop.
"Stop the car!" Xiaomu and Xixi also stood in the crowd, shouting loudly and waving their arms.
"Xiaomu, Xixi, go to the side." Ye Li stopped them immediately when he saw it. If the other party did not stop the car, it would be dangerous to stand in the middle of the road to stop it. Adults could react quickly and avoid it, but children's reactions were not as quick as adults.
Xiaomu and Xixi listened, glanced at Ye Li, and obediently retreated to the side of the road, but they were still waving their arms and shouting, "Stop!"
The truck was getting closer and closer to them, but its speed was getting faster and faster, rushing towards them in the heavy rain.
"Get out of the way!" Wu Xuan shouted, and with a push of his long arms, he led everyone away from the center of the road. The truck whizzed past and drove forward.
Everyone's faces were filled with disappointment. This was retribution. They had watched someone in need fail to help before, and now it was someone else's turn to watch them fail.
But who can blame whom? This is the end of the world, and we cannot expect people to draw their swords and help us.
"Let's go." Uncle Da picked up the things on the ground and walked forward, saying, "We have to find a place to stay before dark."
Looking up at the sky, I realized that the rain would probably continue for a few days. It was getting dark and I couldn't continue my journey. I had to find a place to shelter from the rain and light a fire to warm myself. If I kept getting wet like this, I would freeze to death.
Everyone picked up the things they were responsible for and continued moving forward.
They walked forward with heavy steps through the fog that filled the road, one step, two steps... After walking for who knows how many steps, everyone stopped and looked at the truck parked beside the road in disbelief. It just stayed there, motionless, as if it was waiting for them.
