Nothing happened that night, and the next day, Li Mu and his group set out on their journey again.
What happened to Yang Hui had to make Li Mu alert. If he allowed people with special abilities like Yang Hui to continue to grow and he did nothing, it would inevitably affect his plan to fight against the Blazing Emperor. After all, these people were created by the will of the universe for self-protection, just like the immune system of the universe. They did not care who wanted to devour the Heart of the Universe. As long as any factor could pose a threat to the Heart of the Universe, they would be regarded as a virus and would be eliminated at all costs.
Li Mu is unable to use his own cultivation now. He can still deal with Yang Hui easily now, but what about in the future, when people like Yang Hui grow up and a group of people attack him, he may not be able to escape unscathed. Therefore, he must respond before the fire in the earth's core is completely extinguished.
There are 6,000 immortal soldiers in the Lingxiao Palace in Miancheng. Even though they have lost their cultivation now, their physical strength cannot be underestimated. They can be a great help to Li Mu.
Seeing that Li Mu was worried, Xu Ling and the other two were tactful enough not to disturb him. In this way, another two days passed and they had already walked half of the journey. During this period, they did not find any large villages of survivors like Yangjia Village along the way. Perhaps they were extinct, or their shelter was covered by the vast snow, so Li Mu and his companions did not notice them.
On this day, the sun was setting and the last corner of the sun sank into the horizon. Guo Xinyi, the driver on duty, slowly landed the car on the ground. Without the guidance of the sun, it would be easy for the car to get lost flying in the empty sky. If one was not careful and went in the wrong direction, one would end up with half the effort and twice the result.
After putting away the flying car, Li Mu took out a small shelter from the Qiankun Ring. Everyone entered it. Xu Ling and the other two began to get busy, some washing vegetables, some cutting meat, and started to cook dinner.
Li Mu lay on the sofa, turned on his mobile phone and started reading a novel. Although there was no Internet now, Li Mu had to leave the earth frequently and had downloaded many novels on his mobile phone before. However, the writing of many novels was too poor and the plots were nonsense, so Li Mu did not finish reading them. Now he could only use these to kill time.
Soon, a sumptuous meal was served on the table.
"Brother Li Mu, it's time to eat!" Xu Ling shouted.
"Yeah." Li Mu responded calmly, put down his phone and came to the dining table, picked up a piece of marbled beef and put it in his mouth, frowned and said, "It's too salty, I'll be careful next time."
At this time, outside the shelter, two young people, a man and a woman, were running in the snow. Every step they took left a big hole in the snow, but it did not affect their speed at all. The speed was not much slower than the dog sled used by the people from the Haidu Garrison that Li Mu and his friends had seen before. Looking closely, the two people were only wearing thin clothes in this environment of nearly 80 degrees below zero.
"Hmm~?" At this time, the man suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Seeing this, the woman stopped and asked the man in confusion.
"Look there, I remember that when we came here, we didn't see any signs of survivors living nearby?" The man pointed to a spot of light in the distance on the right side of his body.
The woman looked at it intently, also showing a look of doubt, and shook her head and said: "Besides, it's still some distance away from here, maybe we just didn't notice it."
The man hesitated for a moment and said, "Go and take a look."
"Why don't we go back and report first?" The woman was obviously a little worried.
"Haha, it's okay. With our abilities, we can escape safely even if we encounter those things. Besides, the lights on that building were obviously turned on by someone on purpose. If it were really those things, they wouldn't have such awareness." The man laughed.
"Well, then, let's be careful. If anything goes wrong, run away immediately and don't get entangled with it." The woman instructed.
The man nodded, and the two of them started running towards the building.
Inside the shelter, Li Mu and his companions had finished their dinner. Xu Ling and the other two were in charge of cleaning up the dishes. Li Mu lay down on the sofa again and started reading a novel.
At this moment, Li Mu raised his eyebrows and looked out the dark window.
Soon after, there was a knock on the shelter's door.
Xu Ling and the other two immediately became alert. It felt a little weird that the door was knocked in the wilderness under such extreme weather conditions.
"Why are you standing there? Go open the door!" Li Mu said to Xu Ling who ran into the living room.
"Oh, okay." Xu Ling reacted and trotted to the door. After thinking for a while, he took out the rifle and held it in his hand, then carefully opened the door.
What caught my eye were the two young people, a man and a woman.
"Who are you?" Xu Ling asked the two men, holding a rifle.
Facing the black muzzle of the gun, the two were a little surprised, but they were not panicked at all. The man said to Xu Ling: "Don't get me wrong, girl. We are not bad people. We are patrol members of the Spark Base."
"Is there anything wrong?" Xu Ling still pointed the gun at the two men, and did not relax his vigilance just because they said they were patrol members.
"It's like this. Our mission is to patrol the area surrounding Wucheng and prevent those things from gathering to attack Wucheng. We passed by your place just to see if there is anything unusual or if you need any help." The woman explained.
"There's nothing unusual here. You'd better leave quickly, or I will be rude to you!" Xu Ling wanted to get rid of the two people as soon as possible. In her opinion, they had everything they needed, and with Li Mu around, their safety was guaranteed. She didn't want to cause any more trouble.
The two of them smiled bitterly. These days, people no longer have the basic trust in each other, so it is understandable that Xu Ling does not trust them.
However, the two men had achieved their goal. The people in this building were just ordinary survivors and had nothing to do with those things. Moreover, the people here did not welcome them, so they had to turn around and prepare to leave.
"Wait, you two, come in and warm up your bodies!" Li Mu called out to the two of them.
The two men looked at each other. Although Li Mu and his gang seemed difficult to deal with and had hot weapons like rifles in their hands, they were different from ordinary people. Small weapons like rifles posed no threat to them, so they were not worried about being ambushed by these people.
And they were curious about the people in this building. The snowstorm had occurred for more than a hundred days, and people here still had the energy to use heating!
So the two of them nodded slightly, and after Xu Ling moved aside to make way for them, they entered the house.
