Chapter 537: The End of the World in 2132
On the edge of the cliff, Ye Li, Xiao Xun, and Wu Xuan were ready to go. Xiao Xun turned the hands of the time reversal device to ten years, then opened his arms and looked at the space-time rift at the bottom of the cliff. "Let's go!"
Ye Li and Wu Xuan stepped forward, each holding one of Xiao Xun's arms. As Xiao Xun finished his countdown, the three of them jumped off the cliff together and fell into the huge space-time crack. The moment they touched the space-time crack, the reversal device took effect, causing time and space to distort and advance ten years.
"Idiot! Watch the road!" On the busy road, a vehicle in front suddenly braked, but because the distance was too short, the car could not stop.
Xiao Xun reacted very quickly, reaching out to pull Ye Li away, and Wu Xuan also quickly dodged the car.
The three of them stood in the middle of the road, with speeding vehicles on both sides. Looking up, they saw bustling streets and an overpass above their heads, with long trains passing quickly on the overpass. Various advertisements were being played on the TV screens of those tall buildings. Shops lined both sides of the road, with pedestrians coming and going, and everyone's clothes were particularly unique.
"We should ask Lin Jia to come along." Ye Li murmured. This place was too big and completely unfamiliar. He had no idea where to go.
"Let's leave here first." Xiao Xun grabbed Ye Li's wrist, and after the oncoming car passed, he immediately took Ye Li to the sidewalk.
Wu Xuan took the address written by Lin Jia and asked passers-by. Before crossing over, Ye Li asked Lin Jia for the address of his ancestral laboratory, which was located near a university in City B.
Wu Xuan came over and said, "Unfortunately, this is City A, which is quite far from City B. If we want to get there quickly, we'll probably have to take a plane."
"Did you ask what day it is today?"
Wu Xuan said, "It's now 8:15 AM on May 1, 2132. According to what the Lin family told us, the laboratory explosion and the zombie virus outbreak happened on Labor Day."
Xiao Xun looked around and said with a headache, "We have to take a plane, otherwise it will be too late."
Wu Xuan said, "What are you waiting for? I'll go ask where the nearest airport is."
"It's useless." Xiao Xun said, "The last time Ye Li and I went back to her parents' house, we took a high-speed train, and we had to use our ID cards to buy tickets. Now we not only don't have ID cards, but we also don't have the money of this world. We're too late."
Ye Li smiled and said, "We're in a hurry, who says we can't make it?" She reached into her coat pocket and pulled out a pair of earrings and a bracelet. "Before I left, I took my diamond earrings and bracelet with me. I believe they should be worth some money. If we can't get on a passenger plane, we can charter a civilian helicopter to City B."
Xiao Xun and Wu Xuan were full of admiration, "You are really thoughtful."
Ye Li asked for directions and found a pawnshop in City A. She pawned her earrings and bracelets, used the money to charter a small plane, and flew for three hours to arrive in City B.
The pilot said, "After leaving this small airport, there's a bus that goes directly to XX University. The laboratory you're looking for is nearby."
Ye Li, Xiao Xun and others followed the pilot's instructions and found the bus stop. After waiting for about five minutes, the bus arrived.
It’s not that they don’t want to take a taxi, but there are no taxis around, and the money they have is only enough for the bus.
The bus was a double-decker bus with excellent sightseeing effects, so Ye Li and his group sat on the upper deck.
The airport is on the outskirts of City B. The bus took an hour and a half to get into the city after winding around a lot, and passengers kept getting on and off the bus along the way.
"At this speed, the flowers will be cold by the time we reach our destination!" Wu Xuan complained.
"Just bear with it. We've been sitting for so long, and we're almost there." Xiao Xun said with a helpless smile. He turned his head and saw Ye Li sightseeing the city scenery in 2132. He couldn't help but follow her gaze.
The city buildings in 2132 are more gorgeous and advanced, very different from those in 2018. Unfortunately, in the historical records of the end of the world, this city will be razed to the ground by various advanced weapons due to the outbreak of the zombie virus.
The bus slowly stopped. This was already the center of the city. Because it was a holiday, there were more vehicles entering the city than usual, causing a traffic jam.
