Blue skies and white clouds—it's a perfect day for travel.
The caravan that was temporarily staying in another building had already set off before dawn, and the whole village was quiet, with only a deathly silence remaining.
After leaving the heartbreaking village, the two continued their journey towards City B.
Not far after they left, a group of scavengers began to approach the land.
The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat heavy; no one wanted to speak, and only the faint sound of the air conditioner could be heard.
Perhaps due to exhaustion, the little girl in the back seat slowly lay down and soon began to breathe evenly.
Seeing this, Liu Nian tried his best to make the vehicle ride as smooth as possible.
Before long he caught up with the caravan ahead, the surviving caravan from the same house yesterday.
The rear guards recognized Liu Nian's vehicle but did not disturb it, tactfully allowing Liu Nian's vehicle to merge into the convoy.
Cars, as important means of transportation, were naturally driven by them, but the cockpit was noticeably more spacious.
It seems the team has suffered severe casualties. Every extra person means more strength, and they are aware of this. After all, no one dares to underestimate those who survived last night.
Liu Nian had the same thought. He was unfamiliar with B City and didn't know where to stay if he went there.
If he were in such a hurry that he missed his stop, he didn't think he was capable of handling any crisis that might occur in the dark.
With the idea of a win-win situation in mind, both sides tacitly accepted each other's existence.
As for whether it might be another trap, Liu Nian said, "Bring it on, my ancestral shrine is also very hungry."
Before coming, Liu Nian used his usual soul-summoning spell to recruit some helpers, but the recruitment panel greatly disappointed him.
Those elite night-stalking monsters could only recruit some horned overlords, which was too powerless for Liu Nian at the moment.
He now wants to recruit summons that are at least tier three; he doesn't even consider summons below tier three.
If we have a numerical advantage, we'll leave that to the skeletons; we'll have daily income anyway, so we're focusing more on quality now.
Once the quality of recruits improves, monsters at night will be as easy as playing house for me.
Having made up his mind, Liu Nian decided against recruiting. He wanted to conserve his soul power, in case he was able to recruit a knight next time.
However, for a Tier 3 summon, it must be at least a boss. The higher the boss's level, the higher the tier of the unit that can be summoned by the necromancy.
He had a bunch of cards in his pocket, but he was driving and there was a little girl sleeping in the back seat, so he didn't rush to check them. He decided to wait until it was late at night.
They thought that once they reunited, there wouldn't be any more problems along the way, but unexpectedly, an accident still occurred after passing through a tunnel.
Seeing the vehicles in front of her gradually stop, Liu Nian realized something was wrong and stopped her car as well.
Several men who appeared to be leaders quickly gathered together in the car in front and seemed to have reached a decision. Someone then came over to inform them one by one.
It turned out that the tunnel ahead had collapsed, and the rubble had completely covered the entire tunnel.
Not only would it take too much time to move the objects by hand, but people wouldn't get enough rest afterward. If the monsters of the night were to attack again, everyone would perish here.
No matter how you look at it, it's not worth it, so they decided to take a longer route to City B.
Fortunately, there were locals in the group who said there were other roads available.
The crowd cursed, but there was nothing they could do but reverse and look for a new way out.
After a series of actions, the horn was blaring loudly, naturally waking the little girl up.
Neither of them intended to speak, and they could only silently follow the convoy as it set off again.
They arrived at a bridge with a water source. It was already noon, so the group stopped to rest.
After the update, although water in the real world can no longer quench thirst as effectively as before, at least it's free.
There is a solution, but it's a bit troublesome. Just drink more, but it will make you need to go to the toilet more often.
When it comes to cards, every card you can save is a card.
Not everyone is like Liu Nian, carrying so many cards with them.
The Pareto principle (80/20 rule) applies even in the apocalypse.
As everyone stopped to rest, Liu Nian, naturally, couldn't resist opening the travel bag and handing it to the girl.
The food was all prepared by chefs under Ruan Xin's tutelage, and there was a wide variety of dishes.
The girl was somewhat surprised to see the colorful food in the bag; her own home could provide such a wide variety of food.
But when I came back with Uncle Lin, the food along the way wasn't this plentiful, and we had to be frugal.
I never expected that a lone traveler I met in the middle of nowhere could provide these things.
Could he be some rich kid who's out experiencing life?
After choosing some food, the girl curiously looked at the man in front of her.
Dressed entirely in black, accompanied by attendants who were clearly not human, and missing an eye for some unknown reason, this man exuded an air of mystery.
Unaware that the girl had deduced such a complex problem from a pile of food, Liu Nian watched as the girl took the food and followed suit, taking out some food to eat as well.
After finishing our meal, we continued on our way. The atmosphere became a bit more relaxed, but I still didn't feel like speaking.
As the sun began to set in the west, the group grew anxious. They hadn't yet found a place to stay, which was a dangerous situation.
If it weren't for the guide's confident assurance that there was an industrial park ahead that could serve as a place to rest, this temporary team would have fallen apart.
It's normal for people to feel some fear when faced with the unknown.
Surrounded by unfamiliar places, they had to be wary of both people and potential monsters, making the pressure immense.
Liu Nian was also somewhat anxious, wondering if it was worth it for her to accept the escort mission.
Despite his inner anxiety, he showed no sign of it on his face and followed the guide's vehicle on the road.
Trust, a strange and dangerous word.
Building it takes a long time, but destroying it only takes a second or a single action.
In unfamiliar environments, it is especially important to be in control of the situation.
Ravens had already spread out around the vehicle to ensure that Liu Nian would not be ambushed.
Finding no ambush, Liu Nian followed the convoy forward.
The mountain road twists and turns, and after turning one bend, an industrial zone comes into view.
Following closely behind the guide's vehicle, the group drove into the industrial area.
Liu Nian paid special attention to the stone tablet at the entrance of the industrial zone.
This is a large, irregularly shaped, yellowish-brown stone, placed vertically inside a small cement ring.
The cross-section is polished very smoothly, and the words "Welcome to Suiyi Industrial Park!" are written on it in red dye!
After finding a place to settle down, everyone naturally dispersed and set up their own campsites.
After Liu Nian drove in, the entrance to the industrial park was occupied by other teams, so he could only go further in.
A small factory caught his attention: the Random Porcelain Factory.
Upon entering the factory area, the production workshop is directly opposite, the warehouse is on the left, and the dormitory is on the right.
He told Lu Jiaqi to sit properly in the car, and then summoned his summoned creature to explore first.
Finding nothing amiss, Liu Nian beckoned the girl over, intending to find two dorm rooms as temporary accommodation for the night.
By driving the car next to the dormitory, it can be started immediately at the slightest sign of trouble.
Looking at the sun about to disappear into the darkness, Liu Nian prayed that she could get a good night's sleep.
