Under the watchful eyes of Zhou Yang and others, Li Mu and his four companions slowly ascended into the air in a flying car. It is worth mentioning that after counting the grain in the granary, there were still more than 700,000 tons, 200,000 more than what Huo Jianan said. This was a blessing in disguise, as it ensured that Li Mu did not return empty-handed. The extra 200,000 tons of grain were all stored in his Qiankun Ring.
As for Zhou Lin and her son who came with Li Mu, Xu Ling and the other two had revealed some information about the Shennong Mountain granary to Zhou Lin three nights ago, and told Zhou Lin that they would leave a shelter for Zhou Lin and her son near the Wuxia Dam with enough food in it. If Zhou Lin was willing, he could choose three or five people he trusted to go to the shelter to survive together.
Of course, all this was agreed by Li Mu. After all, they knew each other, so he would help if he could. Two days ago, he dug a snow pit at the location Zhou Lin mentioned, put the shelter and supplies in it, then covered it with snow and marked it. They did everything they could, but it was unknown whether Zhou Lin would come.
The flying car flew again in the vast sky and earth, like a lonely leaf. On the ground, one could still see scattered refugees heading towards the Shennong Mountain granary. However, the further back they went, the fewer people they saw, until no one could be seen anymore, and the world fell into dead silence again.
It is only about 600 kilometers away from Miancheng. Although the speed of the flying car is greatly reduced due to the temperature, Li Mu and his team will definitely be able to reach Miancheng today if nothing unexpected happens.
This route is basically mountainous, and the terrain becomes increasingly steeper. Miancheng is located in a basin, which is surrounded by high mountains. To enter from the outside, one needs to first cross the vast mountains and then go down the mountain.
In this context where there is no available means of transportation and the temperature is extreme, the basin is truly isolated from the world and entering and exiting is harder than climbing to the sky.
Even when Li Mu and his companions were driving the flying car, they crashed into the towering mountains several times. This was because the performance of the flying car was reduced and the flying altitude was not very high. Facing the undulating mountains, it was difficult to maintain a stable flight, which wasted a lot of time on the road.
The sun was about to set, and Li Mu and his group were still more than 300 kilometers away from Miancheng. However, Li Mu was very familiar with the area near Miancheng. He could roughly judge where he was by the terrain, so he didn't have to worry too much about traveling at night.
An hour after Li Mu casually assured Xu Ling and the other two that he knew the way, Li Mu was slapped in the face. He actually ran off the track and ended up in a city south of Miancheng. For this, Li Mu could only blame it on the fact that it was too dark and he couldn't see clearly.
However, while flying over the city, Xu Ling and the other two finally understood what a cruel and inhumane thing was. Through the headlights of the flying car, they saw that the snow on the ground in the city was not white, but dark red. It was dyed red with blood. Corpses and broken limbs could be seen everywhere on the ground, and Xu Ling and the other two were so scared that they closed their eyes.
Li Mu also frowned. He didn't care about the massacre of tens of millions of people, but he could see at a glance that all the corpses were killers, and there was not a single dead crystal left. Li Mu couldn't help but think of the mysterious Yan. At least 10 million dead crystals, to what extent would Yan grow?
The remains on the ground were still fresh, and it seemed that this had only happened in the past one or two days. Li Mu couldn't help but have a bad idea: If all this was done by Yan, then did Shennong Mountain ruin Yan's good deeds, or was everything under Yan's control? Using Shennong Mountain to slow down his pace?
Thinking of this, Li Mu stroked his head. He was careless after all, and fell into Yan's trap. At the same time, he was even more afraid of Yan. If all this was really Yan's plan, then this person was too terrifying. The most important thing was that Yan could know his whereabouts, and he started to stockpile food a month before the Earth's Core Fire went out, just like a prophet.
"Yan and Chi Emperor. Could there be any connection between the two?" Li Mu thought to himself. Over the past tens of thousands of years, the only one who could be his opponent was Chi Emperor. Li Mu had to connect the two.
"I heard that this city grows a lot of food! How could something like this happen?" Xu Ling's voice trembled a little.
"This has nothing to do with food. The survival rate of the population in this city is still relatively high. However, they were all infected by the killers and eventually slaughtered." Li Mu shook his head.
"Look what's that in front of us?" Guo Xinyi suddenly screamed.
"Is that... a cat?" Xu Ling and Jia Qian rubbed their eyes, looking incredulous.
I saw a silly and cute little kitten on the ground throwing a tantrum towards Li Mu and his companions in the sky.
"Is it acting cute to us?" Xu Ling and the other two were even more confused. In this day and age, more than half of the people starved to death or froze to death, but this cat was still able to survive. The most important thing was that with the ground littered with broken limbs, this cat that was acting cute to them seemed even more weird.
"Let's not be fooled, there must be something fishy here!" Xu Ling said in a deep voice.
"Well... indeed, if this cat gets on to us, we'll have to provide it with food and drink." Guo Xinyi said.
"Ling'er is right. The appearance of this cat is so strange." Jia Qian said.
In response to this, Xu Ling couldn't help but look at Jia Qian in surprise. After all, her views were rarely recognized by everyone.
"You guys wait here, I'll go down and take a look." Li Mu hovered the car in the air and then jumped down.
The cat looked at Li Mu jumping down from mid-air, its eyes widened, its fur stood on end, and it had a terrified expression. Then it ran away, disappearing on the street in a few jumps.
Li Mu chuckled and followed the cat's trail.
Not long after, Li Mu stopped outside an old residential building. Judging from the traces, the cat had entered the building.
"Meow~" When Li Mu was about to step into the residential building, the cat jumped out from the darkness of the corridor and slapped Li Mu.
However, the cat had only halfway finished clapping when it found itself being lifted up by Li Mu's neck.
"Meow~ You bad guy, let me go!" The cat actually uttered human language, and its voice sounded like a child.
"Haha, a super cat, quite interesting." Li Mu smiled. He was not surprised that the cat could speak human language. He noticed the unusualness of the cat at first glance. This cat, like those super-powered people, had the aura of super-power factors flowing through its body.
"If you kick me again, I will break your neck," Li Mu threatened. The cat would not stop once he had grabbed it.
Hearing Li Mu's words, the cat was so frightened that it dared not move, and its big round eyes were full of grievance.
