Chapter 228 Dream City - Beginning
This fierce internal struggle has given everyone a clear understanding of each other.
After that day, Gong Jingming was dragged away by Miao Yin and disappeared for a while, only reappearing in the early hours of the morning.
The next morning, Miao Yin abruptly told them some news.
"We're going to Dream City, today."
Song Qiming, with a piece of bread in his mouth, stared blankly and asked, "Are we leaving after we finish eating?"
"I'll give you some time to prepare," she said, and walked out of the villa first, leaving the people inside busy with their tasks.
Today, Miao Yin was dressed in very comfortable casual clothes. As she walked through the sea of flowers, she sighed with some regret, "By the time I come back, all of these will have withered."
"Hiss." Lady White appeared out of nowhere, shrinking her body, and looked at it at her feet.
Back in her familiar territory, Lady White Snake was like a fish in water; unless she wanted to, no one could find her.
Miao Yin reached out her hand to it, and it jumped up and coiled itself around her wrist like a white jade bracelet.
"You don't need to guard the manor this time. If anyone tries to take it, just kill them and take it back. If the manor is gone, then we're just unlucky."
"Hiss." Lady White nodded.
Miao Yin pulled the power switch, activated all the manor's defenses, unlocked the doors, and released the two RVs.
"Luckily, we bought a lot back then, otherwise there wouldn't have been enough room to sit down."
She leaned against the car, and soon, people started coming out one after another.
Yan Shuzhou was the last to come out and locked the gate.
"Everything is ready, let's get in the car."
Despite the preparations, there wasn't much to take. Miao Yin glanced at everyone and opened the car door behind her, getting in first, followed closely by Yan Shuzhou.
Then, Ling and You Wenwen came up. Ji Yuanzhou glanced at Gong Jingming, who looked depressed, and pulled him up with him.
The six of them then split up in one car, while the rest went to another car.
After getting into the car, Ji Yuanzhou looked around and said, "Looks like I'll be the driver this time."
Miao Yin raised her hand: "Me too."
Ji Yuanzhou turned around and stepped into his car, inserting the key: "I'll work hard for a few days."
He rummaged through his pocket and took out a map that Miao Yin had slipped into his pocket earlier, and began to look for the route to Dream City.
"It really is far." He sighed.
If his prediction is correct, this will be their longest trip ever, with the journey alone taking up to five days.
"Don't take the highway, it'll be completely jammed," Miao Yin kindly reminded her.
"Okay, I'll try my best." He adjusted his glasses, started the car, and stepped on the gas.
As his car drove off, Bai Wendong followed in his car, and that's how they completely left the small manor.
……
The five-day journey was just their estimate; in reality, they spent more time on the road than they had imagined.
The apocalypse has been going on for more than half a year now. This period of time may not seem long, but it has been enough to leave countless cities in ruins.
If you don't take the highway, you can only take the regular lanes below, which are surrounded by residential areas.
Where there are people, there are bound to be monsters.
The rumbling of the wheels attracted many mutated people sleeping in the shadows of the streets. If they were of low rank, they could be dealt with on the vehicle.
But if you encounter some high-level players, then a few people will have to get off the vehicle, just to stretch their muscles and also to dig up some crystal cores to increase their level.
Once you leave the bustling ancient capital, the road ahead becomes increasingly difficult.
The once smooth asphalt road has cracked from repeated killings, abandoned vehicles fill the streets, and the horror of fleeing during the apocalypse is still evident, with overgrown weeds taking over the corners of the walls.
When the RV was no longer suitable for the roads, they switched to off-road vehicles, traveling from the mountains to the outskirts of the village and then to the city.
The world before our eyes went from prosperity to backwardness and back to prosperity again, until everyone's back ached and they were impatient with the long journey.
It took them six days to finally reach Dream City.
It's called a city, but it doesn't look like a city at all. The only way to find your way is by a road sign.
Miao Yin closed the car door and went for a walk.
"So this is what it used to look like," she said softly, stroking the white snake in her hand.
Many years ago, she had also visited Dream City, but by then the natural disaster had not been far off, and the place was even more desolate, with even this road sign broken.
Her gaze fell on the ground, where numerous footprints and tire tracks were clearly visible on the dusty and muddy road, along with some discarded plastic bags.
There are traces of human life here.
Jingzhou's largest survival base is located in the north of the city, surrounded by mountains on two sides and a river drawn from the Qingshui River. This makes it difficult to be attacked, ensures sufficient water resources, and allows for the cultivation of vegetables on the mountain land.
Go north from here, and you'll reach the main gate of the Dream City base.
After that, it wasn't so easy to get in.
However, now that she's here, Miao Yin naturally won't forget the people she left behind.
The fluctuations of her supernatural power, the curses piercing her soul again and again, served as a reminder of her arrival. Even if they couldn't communicate directly, she could still convey information in this way.
For example, pain can be used to create a Morse code.
"Everyone get off the bus and head north of the city."
The road ahead is no longer suitable for driving, otherwise she might never see her car again.
Once everyone had their bags on and were stretching their stiff limbs, Miao Yin clapped her hands and put all the cars away.
"Don't reveal my spatial abilities to anyone, and don't tell them about our resources, understand?" Miao Yin said to them.
Everyone nodded, indicating that they had remembered.
Miao Yin beckoned to Tu Hao with her finger.
Tu Hao: ?
She stopped him, pulled him in front of her, and deftly unhooked the collar around his neck: "From now on, you walk in front."
Suddenly finding his neck bare, Tu Hao touched it uncomfortably before raising an eyebrow and saying, "Miao Yin, isn't it too late to start disguising yourself now? Don't you even look at your current appearance?"
After her superpower evolved, Miao Yin's appearance changed from a gentle and delicate water lily to a ghost that looked like she was not to be trifled with. Her unique eye color made her impossible to ignore.
“There are plenty of people who will believe it,” Miao Yin said.
Even though she has a unique appearance, she is not the only one in this team. Moreover, with someone as ruthless as Tu Hao leading the way, no one would think that the woman behind him is the one in power.
Just like their past lives.
This brought Miao Yin a lot of benefits.
"Suit yourself." He shrugged indifferently and strode forward.
