As Lu Yuan finished packing his things and was about to put on his bag, he saw Anna, who was also carrying a bag, standing in front of the door.
"I want to go with you!"
Anna's eyes were filled with determination.
Lu Yuan stared at the other person and pondered for a moment before saying, "It's too dangerous there. Maybe we should just forget about it. Can you wait for me to come back?"
Anna shook her head desperately: "No, you're all I have now! I can't lose you! Even if you have a wife, I don't care, I just want to see you every day!"
Lu Yuan pursed his lips, then finally nodded in agreement: "Alright! You're still missing a few things! Go and prepare them according to this list! I'll wait for you downstairs!"
Anna, however, guessed Lu Yuan's thoughts: "No, I want you to get it for me!"
This time, Lu Yuan was finally defeated: "Fine, fine! I give up! You win! Okay, you'll listen to me on the way! But I have to warn you beforehand, the journey might be very dangerous for us, because we'll be crossing more than twenty war zones! There are Blue Star people everywhere there! We could die at any moment!"
The other person nodded: "I know! I'm not afraid of death. As long as I'm with you, even if I die, I won't be afraid!"
"Alright! Let's go!"
Lu Yuan was indeed lying to the other party; he just wanted to get Anna away so he could leave alone.
Lu Yuan knew how dangerous the journey was.
He himself has a dimensional space to save his life, but others don't.
If you really encounter Earthlings, it would be very inconvenient to have someone with you when you're on a mission.
However, there was no other way; Anna was worried about him leaving, so Lu Yuan had no choice but to compromise and agree.
After packing his things, Lu Yuan gave some instructions to everyone and then set off with Anna.
When they first went out, Qiao Lin led a group of people to drive them to the farthest point. After that, they couldn't go any further.
Some time ago they sank a supply ship, causing the Earthlings to become extremely wary of them, like frightened birds.
Therefore, the guard force here has increased several times compared to before. Moreover, if a war breaks out in one camp, all other camps must be placed under martial law and report to headquarters.
Lu Yuan and his men can no longer attack these camps as they used to.
If one thing is done, the entire Blue Star camp will be affected.
So, after setting off, Lu Yuan first observed the enemy's troop deployment, then quietly said to Anna, "Our hardships are just beginning! Please be prepared!"
Anna nodded vigorously: "Don't worry! I won't hold you back! Don't worry!"
"Okay! That's good! Let's set off right away!"
Anna followed Lu Yuan and quickly moved forward.
They could only pass through at night, because only at night would the Earthlings lower their guard, especially these pampered Earthlings.
They were used to a good life, so even the strong resistance from Earthlings seemed insignificant to them.
Especially since they have already occupied 90% of the land on Earth, and given that Earthlings' resources are already extremely scarce, they only need to deal with it simply.
Under the cover of night, Lu Yuan walked while observing the enemy's searchlights.
Lu Yuan quickly calculated the illumination speed of these searchlights. As long as there was no human intervention, the illumination path of these searchlights could be easily calculated.
With the help of this, Lu Yuan finally led Anna to the first location.
Only half an hour has passed at this moment.
Lu Yuan turned to look at Anna. She was wearing heavy clothes and her face was flushed, probably because the intense running had caused her to run too fast and not get enough oxygen.
However, Anna never complained and always followed closely behind Lu Yuan.
Seeing the other party's performance, Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, then took out a golden fruit from his dimensional space and handed it to the other party.
"Eating one will greatly increase your stamina! That way, you can follow me more easily!"
Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Anna smiled slightly: "Thank you!"
"Okay! It's alright, let's continue! We still have a lot of things to do!"
After a short rest, Anna ate the golden fruit and felt that her internal energy was much more abundant than before.
Then, the two headed towards the second stronghold once again.
Lu Yuan lay down and looked around from a distance.
This second outpost had about five times more people than the previous one, and their weapons were more advanced; they even had a special human detection device.
"Damn it, they've set up a human detection device here. Looks like we'll have to take a longer route!"
Anna glanced in Lu Yuan's direction, and sure enough, she saw a rotating instrument on top of the bunker scanning the surrounding area, with a light occasionally turning on.
There was no other way, so Lu Yuanzhi had to take Anna on a longer route.
Because they didn't know the exact range of the distant scanner, Lu Yuan and Anna took a longer detour of more than a kilometer.
Walking just one kilometer in the Gobi Desert can almost exhaust most of a middle-aged person's physical strength.
The sand in the desert hides dangers; you never know what you'll encounter next.
For example, the quicksand rivers hidden beneath the sand are truly deadly; once you step into one, you will be instantly swallowed by the desert.
Lu Yuan dared not be careless and preferred to walk slowly.
Time flew by, and in order to bypass the second and third strongholds, Lu Yuan led Anna on an additional ten kilometers of travel.
After walking ten kilometers, both of them were basically exhausted.
They have only passed three outposts so far, and are still a long way from reaching a safe place in the North.
Lu Yuan felt that their journey would take a long time, so he took out the map again during a break.
"Damn it, if we go outside the detection range of their equipment, it's estimated that it will take us another half a month to reach the other side!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Anna immediately fell silent as well.
Such a long journey, taking half a month to complete, means they won't have enough food for the rest of the trip.
Not to mention their oxygen supply is still very limited; although they brought portable oxygen concentrators, they will still encounter problems.
