The weather was pretty good the next day, with clear skies. With the sun helping them to determine the direction, Li Mu and his party set out on their journey again. They had wasted the entire day yesterday as they had not been able to determine the direction, so they had to hurry today to get on with their journey.
Naturally, this trip out of the city aroused the covetousness of the survivors in the city. The owner of the car was so annoying. He kept hovering over their heads every few days, making them jealous. But they had no way to do anything with the car, which made them curse in their hearts.
However, they did not fire again today. After all, bullets are precious. Yesterday, they fired twice to no avail. Later, they wanted to follow the path to where the car fell, but later they found that the car fell into the security area, so they had to give up.
"Go due west." Li Mu said to Jia Qian who was driving.
"Isn't Northern Xinjiang northwest of Haidu?" Xu Ling wondered.
"Brother Li Mu, do you want to go back to Miancheng?" Guo Xinyi asked.
Li Mu nodded and said, "Since we are already out, let's go back and take a look. It's not a long way anyway."
Xu Ling and the other two nodded. Indeed, taking a detour through Miancheng would only add half a day's journey at most. Although they were anxious to reunite with their families, Li Mu had gone there to see them off, so they naturally couldn't say much. Besides, the snowstorm had happened for so long, so a day or two wouldn't make a difference.
After leaving Haidu City again, with blue sky and white clouds above their heads and vast white snow under their feet, Xu Ling and the other two couldn't help feeling relieved. They finally saw hope of returning home!
After flying for most of the day, Haidu finally disappeared from everyone's sight. Even the world's second tallest building located in Haidu - Haidu Center Building and several high-rise buildings nearby were no longer visible.
Along the way, Xu Ling and the other two took turns driving the vehicle. At this speed, the car needed to be refueled every two and a half hours. After each refueling, it was the next person's turn to drive, so they didn't feel tired.
Xu Ling, who had just stepped down from the driver's seat, pressed her face against the window and admired the beautiful scenery. She felt so comfortable at the moment. Suddenly, she said excitedly, "Look, there's smoke over there!"
Li Mu raised his eyelids slightly and took a look. There was a village in the valley not far from them. Puffs of smoke rose from each household, and it seemed that life was in an orderly manner. In this doomsday, the people in the countryside were indeed much more capable of survival than those in the city. After all, every household had some food stored.
Although it is still early and it will take at least two hours before the sun sets, the villagers have already lost power due to the snowstorm. I guess they are preparing dinner in advance to avoid not being able to see clearly at night.
Li Mu and his companions discovered them, and they naturally also discovered the flying car in the air. After all, this thing was too eye-catching. It was the first time they saw something flying in the air after the snowstorm.
Groups of villagers ran out of the houses in groups of three or five, pointing at Li Mu and his flying car and waving their hands vigorously.
"Hmm~?" Li Mu frowned.
"What's wrong?" Xu Ling and the other two looked at Li Mu in confusion.
"Go to that village." Li Mu said.
"Brother Li Mu, will we get into unnecessary trouble if we go down?" Jia Qian asked with some concern. She was not worried that they would be in danger, but she was afraid that the villagers would see Che Qiyi and fight with Li Mu, bringing disaster to the village.
"It's okay." Li Mu waved his hand.
In response, Jia Qian said nothing more and turned the car around and flew towards the village.
"They, are they coming towards us?" The villagers were surprised to see this. They just waved at the car on a whim, but they didn't expect that the flying car would really come.
They waved more vigorously, and some young people even whistled.
At this time, an old man came out of the house and hurriedly stopped everyone. However, after he saw the trajectory of the thing in the sky, he knew it was too late, so he said to everyone in a deep voice: "Qiangzi, go call Yang Hui out! Everyone else, go back to the house and get your weapons!"
"Village chief, it's unnecessary, right? They're driving a flying car, what else can they think of us?" A young man said with a wry smile. The others were also puzzled. There were so many people in their village, how many people could fit in that car? How dare they attack them?
"That's right, Second Uncle, you are too cautious." Another young man echoed.
"Just go when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Is it that my words are not effective anymore?" the village chief said unhappily.
Everyone shrank their necks and stopped arguing with the village chief. They went back to their houses and picked up various farm tools, including hoes, shovels, sickles, etc.
"Where is Yang Hui? Why hasn't he come out yet?" Although everyone had weapons in their hands, the village chief still felt uneasy, so he asked the people around him.
"Brother Qiang went to call him, Second Uncle, you know that Yang Hui has been sleeping day and night recently. Except for meal times, you can't even see him." A young man said to the village chief.
The village chief nodded, and then said to everyone: "Everyone, please be alert. No matter who gets out of the car, you must not let your guard down. We in Yangjia Village don't cause trouble, but if others want to provoke us, they must consider their own weight! Think about the past..."
"I know, Village Chief. Wasn't it when you were young that you led my Third Grandfather and his men to fight with the people from the neighboring village every few days for water? Everyone has heard it." A ruffian-like young man said impatiently.
"Alas~" The village chief looked at the young man, shook his head and sighed.
As they were talking, the car also landed on the snow in front of them.
Li Mu and others got out of the car one after another. The villagers were relieved to see Li Mu and his companions acting harmless. It seemed that the village chief was indeed too cautious. These four people could be easily knocked down by any strong man in the village without weapons.
When several young men saw Xu Ling's three daughters, they couldn't help but feel restless. Although there were many survivors in their village, there were only a few young people, especially young girls, who were even fewer. Moreover, most of the people in their village had the surname Yang, and they were more or less related to each other, which made it difficult to take action. This was the first time they saw girls from outside since the snowstorm. How could they not be excited?
"Everyone, I'm the village chief of Yangjia Village, Yang Hong. I wonder what business you have here with us?" The village chief walked out of the crowd and asked Li Mu and his companions in a deep voice. The villagers had let their guard down, but he had not. Although Li Mu and his companions looked powerless, they still had flying cars in this doomsday. Who knows what kind of terrifying force is behind them? Maybe they were just here to explore the way!
