Soon, Fu Heng and his group arrived at the base gate in their RV. At this time, private cars were coming out of the base one after another, vying to leave.
They followed closely behind; otherwise, no one would know when the tsunami would arrive.
Soon, Xuan Yu and Chen Zhe's car drove out of the base gate. Ye Yunxi looked back at the base gate, which was getting farther and farther away, before she turned back.
She felt a little reluctant to leave, after all, she had lived here for several years and made some friends here.
Fu Heng could see Ye Yunxi's reluctance, and he said to her in his heart.
"Xixi, we'll come back after all this is over. I'll take you home to my house in a while."
Hearing what Fu Heng said, Ye Yunxi felt a sense of anticipation for going home with him. "Okay."
Fu Heng was overjoyed to hear her answer. He could bring the woman he loved home. He thought of his parents and mischievous younger sister, and how they would like his woman.
"Then let's go back together after we've settled down in Monterey Park."
Ye Yunxi returned Fu Heng's smile without saying anything.
It had been more than two hours since Li Yan and his group set off. The only way to catch up with them was to speed up.
Along the way, Ye Yunxi and her group saw private cars, all of which drove quickly forward.
There were also many pedestrians, each carrying a bundle, walking slowly forward; men, women, young and old were all there.
Pedestrians walking by would stop and wave to those passing by, hoping to be taken along.
But no one stopped to take them along, since everyone knew that if they brought the wrong people, they would be in danger, and since they were on the run, they wouldn't stop to take anyone else.
Some of them are short-tempered and will throw stones at or verbally abuse people who don't park.
Some elderly people and children, supporting each other, would stop and beg for a car to take them along when they saw it passing by.
Younger people would pray that the driver would take their parents along, so they could give them supplies.
But the drivers remained unmoved, knowing that the consequences would be dire if they stopped.
Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng watched all of this with cold faces, never expecting it to come to this final step.
When they passed the group of pedestrians, their eyes lit up when they saw the two RVs, especially the men, who couldn't wait to stop them and get into Ye Yunxi's RV.
A group of people blocked Fu Heng's RV, forcing Fu Heng to stop, and Zhang Haiyi behind him also stopped abruptly.
A group of people saw the RV stop and immediately surrounded it.
One of the men pleaded.
"Please, kind folks, give us a ride. We have elderly people and children here, and we can barely walk. Please, kind folks, take us with you."
Ye Yunxi frowned as she looked at the crowd outside the RV. She didn't answer what they were saying; she just stared at them coldly.
The group of people outside were getting anxious when they saw that none of the people inside the RV were speaking.
They spoke urgently, one by one. "Please, have mercy, we young people don't need to come, but please take our elderly and children with you. We don't want them to travel such a long distance with us."
"Kind people, please help me."
Fu Heng and Xuan Yu also stared coldly at the people outside. Lu Hengyi couldn't bear to see them like this, so he opened the window a crack and patiently spoke to them.
"Excuse me, everyone, our vehicles are full. There will be base vehicles passing by later, and you can ride in their vehicles."
A group of people expressed their dissatisfaction upon hearing Lu Hengyi's words.
"How do we know when the base's vehicles will pass by here? What if they don't? What will we do then?"
"No, there's another group of people from our first base behind us. They'll also take this route. Don't worry, as long as you stop their car, they'll definitely take you with them," Lu Hengyi patiently reassured them.
Someone said, "How can we trust you? What if you're lying to us? Did you never intend to include us, so you made up a lie to deceive us?"
"Yes, that's why you said that, you just didn't want us to get on the bus. You're lying to us."
"We want to get on the bus! We want to get on the bus!"
A group of people started acting like scoundrels around Ye Yunxi and Zhang Haiyi's RV, shouting that they wanted to get into their vehicle.
Seeing that his words had no effect and only increased their resentment, Lu Hengyi quickly closed the window and turned to ask Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng.
"What do we do now? They won't let us through, and we can't leave either."
Those who were making a fuss outside, seeing that the windows were closed, some of them rushed forward and pounded on the RV, trying to get them to open the door and get in.
Seeing such a commotion, Ye Yunxi's expression instantly turned grim. She took out her pistol, walked to the window, opened it, pointed at the crowd, and said coldly.
"Get out of my way if you don't want to die. Our car is too small, and even if it were, we wouldn't take you. I've made it very clear. There are people from the base behind us. Go and get a car from the base."
One of the men retorted indignantly, "We don't believe a word you say. Your car had room but didn't take us. How could there be base vehicles behind us? You just want us to move aside so you can escape!"
Ye Yunxi looked at the man who had just spoken with a cold gaze and said in a cold voice.
"Whether you believe it or not is your business. If you don't move aside, don't blame me for being impolite!"
The man wanted to say something more, but seeing that the other man's gun was already pointed at him, he reluctantly shut his mouth in order to save his own life.
The others weren't so easily fooled. They each said something that annoyed Ye Yunxi so much that she fired a shot into the sky.
He pointed the pistol at them again and said coldly.
"I'm saying this one last time: if you don't want to die, get out of my way, or the next shot might just hit you!"
Seeing that she was serious, the group of people, no matter how unwilling they were, had no choice but to give up their seats and let them leave.
After seeing that everyone had made way, Fu Heng immediately started the car and drove forward, with Zhang Haiyi following closely behind.
After the RV drove away, the group of people could only sigh and walk slowly, thinking that their last hope was gone. Little did they know that there were people from the base who would pick them up along the way.
After the car had traveled some distance, Lu Hengyi gave Ye Yunxi a thumbs up and said admiringly.
"You're really something, you've stunned them all."
Ye Yunxi rolled her eyes at Lu Hengyi. "You can't be soft-hearted with people like this. Besides, most of the people from the base have left, but there are still a few behind. At their speed, they should arrive here before evening. If they're lucky, they'll run into the people from the base. If not, it's just a matter of fate!"
