Chapter 428 428 Foreign Friends
Wei Mengyao stared at Wei Yin blankly, "What do you mean our dad is no longer our dad?"
Wei Yin shook his head. "I don't know. I just feel like Dad is different now. His behavior, tone, habits, everything is different. It's like he's been possessed by something. It's very strange. I can't explain it, but I can sense it. It's very dangerous. So, Mengyao, listen to me and help me take Mom away. I can't find anyone I trust to help me except you. Can you promise me that?"
Wei Mengyao's mind was in a mess and she was completely unable to think. With a pale face, Wei Yin sent her on a car to Longfeng City. Wei's mother was also traveling with them. Wei Yin used the excuse that he was taking care of Wei Mengyao. Although Wei's mother had doubts in her heart, Wei Yin did not give her too many opportunities to ask questions and sent a team of a hundred people to escort the mother and daughter away.
There were too many people and he was afraid of being exposed. He had to be careful until he knew what had happened to his father.
After seeing the mother and daughter off, Wei Yin breathed a sigh of relief. Even if both father and son died in the end, at least their Wei family still had bloodlines and people would remember them. That was good enough.
Longfeng City does not know what happened in the north.
They are also very busy at the moment. Starting from the previous week, many foreign friends have been drifting in from the sea, both white and black. Most of them have superpowers similar to those of Chinese people. These people were forced to drift on the sea because of the sudden change in the weather, and their already precarious homes were completely destroyed. They thought they were going to die, but unexpectedly they were given a way to survive and drifted to Longfeng City.
Longfeng City was very hospitable and incorporated them all into the Longfeng City team. They had experienced many wars in their own country. Some of them struggled at the bottom, some were in high-level command, and some were non-technical talents. They had also fantasized about ruling the world, but human power could never compete with God, and they were ultimately defeated by natural disasters. The situation in their land was similar to that in the central region of the country, and they could no longer survive.
Those who have survived until now are all capable people. Joining Longfeng City is the icing on the cake. The team of Longfeng City is constantly growing, and its number is directly approaching that of the north. It is a cause for celebration.
It was unknown whether the mutated creatures in the sea also sensed something, but they all rushed towards Longfeng City.
These mutated creatures, just like mutated beasts, are the overlords in the water. The big team has no intention of giving up. They stay in places with less traffic every day and collect these mutated creatures into the space.
This is how the days went by. They were relieved that the North did not declare war, but they did not dare to let their guard down. They really had no idea what bad things the enemy was planning, which was really torturous.
In the sixth year of the apocalypse, it had been drizzling for two or three months, and the ground was full of water. The land destroyed by wind and sand was washed away by the rain, and there were potholes everywhere. The places where there should have been river channels were all blocked by mud and sand, making it impossible for the water to flow. All the water accumulated in one place, forming a bottomless quagmire, making it difficult to walk.
Because of the road conditions, Wei Mengyao and her group traveled for over a month, with more than half of their group killed along the way, before finally reaching the outskirts of Longfeng City. They were all in a state of disarray. Looking at the towering city walls and the lush greenery of the city, their eyes welled up with a mixture of joy and inexplicable grievance.
"Child, we're here," Wei's mother held Wei Mengyao's hand tightly.
Wei Mengyao reached out to wipe away her tears. Their car was scrapped half a month ago, their belongings were lost in the turbulent mud flow a week ago, and their food was all eaten up three days ago.
During this period, the group relied on their legs and willpower to walk step by step. They were soaked all over, their lips were pale, and they were shivering with cold.
They didn't dare stop, because if they stopped, they would die.
Because of the hardship, Wei Mengyao's mind, which was confused by Wei Yin's words, calmed down. She held Wei's mother's hand tightly and said, "Okay, let's go, Mom." Wei Mengyao knew that from now on, her only relative might be her mother.
The group walked forward. There was no knee-deep mud and sand, no abyss that could cause them to fall at any time, and no mudslides that could come rushing over. The ground was clean concrete, surrounded by tall and green trees. In front of them was a city wall that gave them a sense of security. There were people on the city wall who made them feel inexplicably reliable.
"Who is coming?" The people guarding the upstairs were those directly managed by Xia Xun. As the boss, Xia Xun no longer did anything himself. He would occasionally come around and have a few rounds and argue with the gossipers. The rest of the time, he was training at full speed.
The group looked up, but the rain was so thick that some couldn't open their eyes. They could only stare blankly. "We are from the north. My name is Wei Mengyao. I want to see your Dragon and Phoenix team. Please let me know."
The people on the tower did not make things difficult for them. "There is a room outside the tower. Please wait inside first. I will pass on the message."
"Okay, thank you."
The house outside the city wall was built specifically for situations like this. Before it is clear whether the visitor is safe, they will be invited in to rest temporarily.
It was very spacious inside. Apart from the tiles on the roof and the walls on all sides that protected it from wind and sun, there was only a stone bench against the wall.
Even so, Wei Mengyao and her group were very satisfied. No matter how empty the house was, it was better than outside.
The guard described the situation of Wei Mengyao and her group very clearly. Lan Shiruo came in person with people and arrived very quickly. She was still surprised for a moment when she saw the appearance of Wei Mengyao and her group. They looked even worse than the guard described. They were covered in mud, even on their hair, as if they had rolled in a quagmire.
They had nothing on their bodies except the clothes they were wearing. They looked haggard and looked like they could collapse at any time.
Lan Shiruo didn't ask anything and put out a few RVs. "There's hot water inside. Go wash up first. The clothes are ready."
Wei Mengyao pursed her lips and held back her tears, "Thank you," got into the car, and cried while washing.
Mother Wei was trembling. She was old and had suffered more than anyone else. She wanted to hold Lan Shiruo's hand, but found that she was dirty all over. She could only keep saying thank you.
Lan Shiruo smiled and shook her head. "These are not important. Auntie, go wash up and change into dry clothes. I've already asked someone to notify Aunt He. You can have a good reunion then."
"Oh, okay, okay."
The guards also took turns taking a hot shower, and it took more than half an hour to come out.
Lan Shiruo set up several hot pot tables in the rest room. The room was very big and could accommodate thousands of people. With five tables for dozens of people, it was easy to accommodate them.
"Take the medicine to dispel the cold first. I made clear soup because I'm afraid your stomachs can't handle it. Don't hesitate to warm up your stomachs."
The group of people were really hungry. They had been relying on the rain for the past few days. They said thank you, swallowed the medicine in one gulp, and began to eat it voraciously.
Lan Shiruo prepared a separate table for Wei Mengyao and her son, and asked them to eat first and talk after they were done.
The mother and daughter both had red eyes. They didn't say much and ate in silence.
After eating for more than an hour, the group seemed to come back to life, burping and looking embarrassed with red faces.
