The Wang family had already evacuated the area, and there were no longer any people blocking the road.
After successfully passing through, the refugee caravan continued up the hills and eventually arrived at the fortress on the hill.
The Wangjiaqiu safety zone was now completely deserted; even Zhang Biao, who had rested there the previous night, had already led his team away.
The refugees also realized that the owners of the place had already left.
Many displaced people have come to believe that disaster is about to strike.
Otherwise, so many people wouldn't have been evacuated from the safe zone.
Looking at the remaining supplies that hadn't been taken in time, and the numerous houses that provided shelter from the wind and rain in the safe zone.
The refugees rushed in and looted, quickly occupying the vacant houses.
After a long and arduous journey and extreme exhaustion, some refugees decided to stay here, at least to temporarily escape the continuous rain.
However, many more migrants did not stop.
They knew that only by continuing westward could they find a truly safe place.
These refugees, who were willing to continue their journey, rested briefly in Wangjiaqiu before embarking on their journey again, filled with uncertainty about the future and fear of disaster.
Some of the migrants were too exhausted to walk any further and chose to stay.
Ma Yuanbai glanced back at the refugees who had chosen to stay and sighed.
He already knew the fate of these refugees.
......
Li Yu and Fu Xiyao rode Little Black, speeding through the rain.
On the back of the black horse, Fu Xiyao clung tightly to Li Yu, as if afraid of falling off, and seemingly unwilling to let go for even a moment.
Fu Xiyao, who was pressed close to Li Yu's back, suddenly sensed something unusual in the rain ahead and quickly reminded him:
"Li Yu, there are people ahead, a lot of them."
Li Yu gently patted Xiao Hei, and the black horse immediately understood and slowed down instantly.
The two cautiously stepped forward to investigate.
Sure enough, a lot of people were gathered ahead, and they also looked like scavengers.
But they are much better off than the scavengers in the Black Mountain safe zone.
At least they were wearing clothes that weren't torn, and some were even wearing raincoats.
This is a feature that only people in the safe zone have, but now it has become their standard equipment.
Just then, another group of scavengers approached.
To Li Yu and Fu Xiyao's surprise, the two teams greeted each other warmly and sat down together.
"Do they know each other?" Fu Xiyao asked in surprise.
"I don't know him."
Li Yu's gaze swept back and forth between the two scavenger teams.
He noticed several key details.
“Look at their raincoats, they’re different styles, which means they’re not a team,” Li Yu explained in a low voice.
"Moreover, the way they greet each other is more like a mutual probing rather than a friendly chat between old friends."
Upon closer inspection, Fu Xiyao indeed discovered the difference that Li Yu had mentioned.
The members of both teams seemed to use somewhat reserved body language when they were talking.
Although they appear enthusiastic, there is still a subtle wariness in their eyes, rather than complete trust and relaxation.
Even so, it still surprised Li Yu greatly.
In the Black Mountain region, two scavenger teams would clash even if they just saw each other, let alone get close.
The two watched curiously, and from their laughter and conversation, they vaguely heard the word "shelter".
"refuge?"
