Chapter 118 Departure



In the afternoon, the group, having rested, packed their things and checked out of their rooms.

They are now in the northwest of the city, which is a route that requires crossing the entire city to reach their destination on the other side.

Now everyone is on the big bus, the number of people has decreased, and it can fit everyone now.

At first, everyone was wondering, where were the other two cars?

Cheng Shaolin and Li Xiao gave a vague answer, saying that they had stopped in the right place.

Although the group had doubts, they did not press for answers.

Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, worried that everyone would go and ask which place would be a suitable stop.

It was Cheng Shaolin and she who planned it, but they couldn't bear to throw it away, so they took advantage of the absence of people, drove it to a secluded place, and stored it in their space.

It's lively when everyone is in the same car, chatting and talking about things, which helps pass the time.

It's still dark; they set off very early, wanting to cover as much ground as possible before the sun rises.

Everything was taken care of last night, and we can leave as soon as we get on the bus today.

Li Xiao and Tian Tian sat by the window, where they could see the view outside.

Although there's not much scenery to speak of right now, I just want to see the houses and buildings on both sides of the road rushing past.

The two watched with great interest. Tian Tian looked at the gray buildings receding into the distance and suddenly started talking about the people from before.

"Sigh, I wonder if Uncle Liu, Uncle Li, and Aunt Zhang have arrived in Beijing yet. They should be here soon."

Li Xiao didn't expect Tian Tian to suddenly think of them at this moment. "Hmm, they've probably arrived. Uncle Meng, do you regret it? You were with Uncle Liu and the others; they might have already arrived."

Li Xiao turned to ask Meng Yang, who was sitting on the other side of the car.

Meng Yang just laughed, "Why regret it? Aren't we going? Whether we go sooner or later, we're going to go anyway."

Li Xiao smiled and said, "But they were here even earlier."

Meng Yang didn't think so. "Sooner or later, I don't think it's a big problem. But if you're uncomfortable every day, then it's a big problem." He then gave Li Xiao a teasing look.

Li Xiao agreed, "That's true. Things are already pretty bad, and now they're getting worse every day. It's better to arrive later, right, Uncle Meng?"

Meng Yang laughed loudly, "Hahaha, that's exactly right."

Just before Liu Zhigang and his group found Sun Ping and her group, the fork in the road before entering the town led them apart.

Li Xiao and his group took the new highway, while Liu Zhigang and his group took the route that Cheng Shaolin and his group had taken before.

The road has already been cleared by Cheng Shaolin and his team, so there shouldn't be any problems for a while.

They wanted to get to Beijing as soon as possible, so they didn't travel with Li Xiao and the others, and instead took two different routes.

The road has been cleared and there aren't any major obstacles; we should be able to reach Beijing soon.

Li Xiao and his group are different. They are passing through cities on their way, which will cause them more trouble, so they definitely can't keep up with Liu Zhigang and his group.

At the time, they wanted to train their superpowers, so they chose this more dangerous path.

That's why Li Xiao asked those questions just now.

"Uncle Meng, you're always full of energy since you've been traveling with us, aren't you?" Li Xiao joked with a smile.

"Of course, absolutely. Haven't you seen your Uncle Meng? He's always full of fighting spirit. He can't stand not taking action every day."

This made everyone laugh.

With all the unpleasant things gone, the atmosphere improved a lot.

Li Xiao smiled happily, turned to look out the window, and then her eyes widened.

Staring intently in that direction in the distance.

Tian Tian assumed she was looking at the buildings outside, so she didn't disturb her.

Li Xiao was shocked; they were now passing through the middle of the city.

That day, we entered the base by walking north from the perimeter.

She didn't see what was happening in the city center back then, but she saw it today.

I saw those things that I hadn't understood even in the light and shadow that day, and that very tall building.

It looked exactly like she remembered. If there was any difference, it was that the location was slightly different.

Based on the general terrain we see today, the direction that day, in the hazy, indistinct state, should have been from south to north.

It was the direction they were heading north from where they were, and that was also the direction they were going.

Now things are a bit different; they are now in the northwest of the city, heading east, so the directions are different.

Cheng Shaolin noticed that Li Xiao was staring outside without making a sound, so he moved closer to her and asked softly, "Xiao Xiao, what are you looking at so intently?"

Upon hearing the sound, Li Xiao slowly turned her head and looked at Cheng Shaolin sitting opposite her.

"Brother, look." He said, pointing to the tall buildings in the distance that kept changing direction with the car's speed, but they were still visible and hadn't disappeared.

Following the direction she pointed, Cheng Shaolin saw the towering building in the distance, standing out conspicuously among the surrounding buildings that were not even as tall.

Cheng Shaolin immediately understood, "Does it look familiar?"

"Yes, they are exactly the same, just in different directions."

Cheng Shaolin nodded. "Any ideas?"

Li Xiao shook her head; she had no clue yet and needed to think about it some more.

"It's okay, no rush, take your time."

Tian Tian, ​​who didn't understand a word they were saying, asked, "What are you talking about? What's wrong with that building?"

"The building is fine." Li Xiao didn't know what else to say, so she just brushed it off.

Yu Yanbin sat on the other side, listening to them talk about the building. What building? He looked out the window and immediately saw the iconic building of Qizhou, Hengfeng Building.

Yu Yanbin paused, wondering what he had remembered now.

He didn't ask, and Cheng Shaolin didn't say anything either, because he didn't want too many people to know.

Suppressing his doubts, he suddenly smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao," Li Xiao turned to look at him, "Do you want to go and take a look?"

Li Xiao's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at him.

The others looked at Yu Yanbin with the same surprised expression. At this moment, Yu Yanbin was sitting comfortably in his chair, as if the words he had just spoken had not come from his mouth.

"You're not kidding, are you?" Li Xiao looked at Yu Yanbin with a puzzled expression. Was this guy sick?

Yu Yanbin chuckled softly, then looked up at Li Xiao, "Are you kidding me? It's not like you can't go if you want to, and you can go and see if you want to."

Li Xiao composed herself, deciding not to argue with him. "No need."

Yu Yanbin wanted to laugh when he saw Li Xiao avoiding him like the plague. He really thought it was possible, he wasn't joking, so why didn't she believe him?

Cheng Shaolin, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted his inner grumbling, "Alright, let's not think about that now. Let's find a good place and settle down first. We don't know the situation in the city yet, so let's not make any mistakes."

Li Xiao nodded in agreement.

Everyone else looked completely bewildered...
