Cheng Shaolin and Shao Jie returned after a while, but they had someone else in the car with them.
After meeting up with everyone, they stopped the car and let the people in the back get off. Only then did everyone realize that they had brought someone back with them.
This was a thin boy, skin and bones, his clothes hanging loosely on his body. His gaunt face and chin looked as if they could pierce through paper, and he was frighteningly pale.
It's truly unbelievable that someone can be this fair-skinned in the scorching summer sun.
The boy walked with a slight tremor, as if his legs were weak. A foul odor could be smelled from afar.
Shao Jie quickly told Tian Tian to run some water for him to wash and change his clothes.
Let him go in and have a good wash in a house right next to where the car is parked.
"Go wash up, so you can get going." Shao Jie carried two buckets of water into the house and said to the boy walking behind him.
The boy stared at the two large wooden barrels on the ground, his expression unreadable.
After waiting for about half an hour, the boy who had changed his clothes came out.
He was a little over 1.6 meters tall, very thin, and looked like a gust of wind could blow him away. His t-shirt hung loosely on him, and his almost transparent white skin reflected the sunlight.
Shao Jie frowned, stepped forward, and brushed away his shoulder-length hair in two quick strokes, revealing his thin face.
Her dark eyes appeared large, and her pale complexion paired with light-colored lips gave her a sickly beauty.
If she weren't so thin, she would probably look quite good.
He was pulled into the car, and the group set off.
The boy sitting in the back seat was drinking water and munching on a bag of cookies.
The only sound was the soft rustling of something being chewed.
After a moment of silence, the boy spoke, "My name is Qi Xun."
Shao Jie turned to look at him. The boy was holding the bag of cookies, looking down at his hands.
"Okay, go to the base and live a good life." Shao Jie patted him on the back.
Qi Xun gripped the bag tightly, trying hard to purse his lips and control himself from crying.
Everyone's circumstances are different, but they all give you the same chance to survive; it just depends on whether you want to seize it.
I rushed to get somewhere in the morning without lingering.
Shao Jie and Meng Yang have been following Cheng Shaolin's lead for a long time and have developed a very good working relationship with him.
A team needs to work together continuously to find a more suitable way to collaborate.
Now their team has worked together many times and has gained a basic understanding of each person's abilities.
Their goal in life is to end each day of cooperation pleasantly and then live each day peacefully.
Today was a busy day, so the car was packed with most of their fighting force, including Yu Yanbin, Cheng Shaolin, Shao Jie, Meng Yang, and Qiu Fengyu, with Qi Xun huddled in the back seat. The best defense was left behind, with the earth-elemental Xiao Peng driving behind them.
To speed up their journey, Qiu Fengyu and Meng Yang only needed to use their superpowers to remove the cars and obstacles blocking their way; there was no need for them to get out of the car to clear them.
After such a long period of training, Meng Yang's superpowers have improved considerably.
The released vines are thicker and stronger, and can be used for a longer period of time.
The two of them can take turns using their superpowers, which is faster and more reasonable.
For those that are difficult to clean, Cheng Shaolin is needed; his fire is much more efficient.
While the road surface was being cleared more quickly ahead, things weren't so peaceful behind.
Li Xiao and Tian Tian squeezed together by the window, peeking out at the view.
The blinding sunlight cast a bleak light on the ground. Along the way, they passed tall or short trees and plants, their gnarled roots and vines, their dark green leaves flashing past their eyes.
Watching the various cars that kept vaulting over the railing, Li Xiao drifted off into thought.
Using the walkie-talkie, Yu Yanbin informed them of the situation ahead, telling them not to drive too fast and just follow.
You can hear all sorts of sounds coming from the walkie-talkie from time to time; everyone is working very hard.
Thinking of this, Li Xiao couldn't help but smile.
Just then, Zhou Lingyu paused at a certain topic and caught a glimpse of Li Xiao's delicate and bright face, along with her faint smile.
An inexplicable feeling welled up inside me, and I found myself finding everything about him unpleasant.
"Hmph, she looks so aloof on the surface, but who knows what she's really like underneath? She only gets food and drink because of men, so why pretend to be innocent?" She rolled her eyes, looking utterly disdainful.
The sound was very loud; it could be heard throughout the entire car.
The remaining people were stunned, not knowing who she was talking about.
Li Xiao and Tian Tian heard this but didn't say anything. They simply turned their gaze away from the outside and drew the curtains.
There was silence for a moment, and the car fell quiet.
Yu Yanbin's voice came through the walkie-talkie, and everyone listened attentively. "There's a small town ahead. You can stop there and find a place to rest. We'll go ahead and take a look."
"Okay, got it." Xiao Peng said and then turned off the walkie-talkie.
The atmosphere inside the car was awkward, and Sun Chengdu didn't dare to speak.
At this moment, Zhou Lingyu raised her chin high, her face filled with disdain and contempt, her eyelids slightly lowered, and leaned back in her chair.
Sun Ping, who was sitting next to Liu Xiaohan, also shut her mouth. She knew that Zhou Lingyu was not someone to be trifled with, and she didn't know what Li Xiao's personality was like.
Saying the wrong thing will be bad for her; let's just watch the show from the sidelines.
It seems that this woman named Zhou Lingyu has more presence; she's definitely the better choice.
This atmosphere persisted throughout the small town.
Xiao Peng parked the car on the side of the road and used his supernatural abilities to build a small house on three sides, with a roof on top. There was a front for cars to enter and exit, and two meters of space around the sides for people to rest.
