Chapter 75: Whatever You Wish Will Come
It took more than a week to leave J City. Xiang Yu put on a hot compress eye mask and lay on the sofa to rest.
It was pitch black outside the car window, and there was only a desk lamp on inside the car. With the curtains drawn, not a single light could get through.
Xiang Yu was wearing an eye mask, soothing music was playing in the car, and he was rubbing his sore waist with both hands.
The neck also moves from time to time.
I've been driving too much recently, so I need to have a good rest tomorrow. My health is my capital.
The heat on the eye mask subsided, and Xiang Yu took out two alarms from the space. After getting out of the car, he installed them on the door and under the trunk respectively.
That way, if someone approaches at night, the alarm will alert her.
She got into the car yawning and had a good sleep. Xiang Yu was not in a hurry to leave in the morning. She planned to have a good rest here today.
After getting up, he first exercised after a long time, and then practiced martial arts for several hours. Before, he had an old man as a sparring partner, but now he can only explore on his own.
But Xiang Yu was not discouraged. Instead, he practiced more seriously than ever before. After having lunch and a good rest, he continued on his journey.
Towards evening, Xiang Yu encountered many RVs and small cars on the highway after passing through two cities.
This is the first time I see so many cars.
Soon Xiang Yu's doubts were answered. The shelter in L City was built next to the highway, and more than a dozen mountains were directly opened up.
A tall wall stands there, which looks very spectacular, and the wall is still under construction.
From a distance, you can see many people standing on the wall, and elevators are constantly going back and forth, with piles of construction materials being transported up.
People standing on top feel as small as ants.
The shelter in City A must be like this at this time.
The highway leads all the way to the L City Shelter, but it is not easy to pass through here. You have to hand in something before you can pass.
A huge signboard stood on the side of the road, with a message on it saying that a toll was collected: one pound of grain, any grain would do.
Many of the vehicles using this highway come from other places.
Xiang Yu looked at the man sitting in the driver's seat of the car in front of him with a flattering smile on his face. He probably wanted the guard to be flexible.
But when the guards saw that he had no food, they let him go. They only wanted to temporarily seize his car and made him help with hard labor here for two days before letting him go.
He will not be wronged by the hard work during these two days, and food and accommodation will be provided.
Xiang Yu looked at their operations. This was actually just a disguised form of conscription, but there was a shortage of manpower everywhere at the moment.
Their approach seemed desirable in the eyes of the government, and some survivors did hard labor here for two days.
Only a very small number of people will choose to leave, most will stay.
Xiang Yu turned the car around. She had already found another route. She didn't want to go in and move bricks, nor did she want to give food.
The guard watched Xiang Yu leave without stopping him, but just smiled meaningfully.
Apparently, there were people who had the same idea as Xiang Yu. Their car was driving ahead and there was a mountain road in front of them. After passing here, the road ahead would be much easier to drive on.
The vehicles in front were moving and stopping. Xiang Yu had a bowl of cold noodles next to him. When the vehicles stopped, he picked up the bowl and took a few bites.
There were six cars in total, and Xiang Yu was driving at the back.
When the electronic map showed that it would take about half an hour to drive out, the cars in front of us stopped at this time.
Xiang Yu looked ahead and saw more than a dozen figures suddenly appearing on both sides of the mountain road.
The leader even had a gun in his hand. Xiang Yu's eyes lit up instantly. Isn't this what he wanted?
Except for the man in the lead who had a gun, the other dozen or so people were holding machetes, and some were holding axes.
Apparently they had done this many times. Six of them were afraid that Xiang Yu, who was at the back, would run away, so they ran directly to Xiang Yu's car.
The blade hit the protective net, and the windows of two cars in front were shattered on the spot. "Get out of the car, all of you, get out of the car..."
The man kicked the car doors one by one and yelled at them to get out.
“Brother, don’t kill me, I’m just passing by, just passing by…” After getting out of the car, the man pleaded with a bitter face.
But those people didn't care what he said, they stepped forward and kicked him, "I just told you to get off the car, but you didn't hear me? You took so long to get off."
The man was kicked to the ground and wailed for a long time without getting up. The man then smashed the window of a car behind him.
The knife in his hand stabbed in immediately, "Ahhh..., big brother, don't kill me, I'll get out of the car right away, right away."
The man looked at the shining machete and was so scared that he hurriedly unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.
Xiang Yu did not get out of the car. Instead, he turned off all the lights in the car and then pressed the hatch leading to the top of the RV.
He climbed up quickly, compound bow in hand, and after lying on the roof of the RV, he pulled the bow to its full length, aimed at the man with the gun, and shot an arrow.
These highwaymen take it for granted.
