204 Hurry Up and Leave This Place

She sat up and rested for half a minute. After her eyes regained their clarity, she opened the door and walked out. Although there were no lights in the car, she still found the driver’s seat with great precision. Before Du Yue could say anything, He Xing had already turned to look at her. “Why don’t you sleep a little longer?”

“I slept well. You should go and rest.”

“Okay, I’ll go now.” He Xing nodded, got up, and walked to the back. Du Yue took his place and sat in the driver’s seat.

Outside the window was the night sky and fog as thick as ink. Everything was chaotic in front of her, and she could not see anything. In the dark night, it was as if she could only hear her own breathing. However, Du Yue was not afraid at all. She had experienced such a situation many times in her previous life. At least for now, on a bed not far from her was someone who could keep watch for her for the first half of the night and let her rest in peace.

Du Yue stared straight ahead until the sun gradually rose from the horizon. When the sky gradually brightened, Du Yue went to the bathroom to wash up. Before she could finish washing up, He Xing came out of the bedroom. After having a simple breakfast, they got out of the RV one after another.

Du Yue kept the RV and started searching the ruins with He Xing. Even though the sky was bright, they still had to hold a strong flashlight to see the situation around them. After searching for a whole day, they did not find any clues about the underground city. The figure that flashed by the day before did not appear again.

In this huge city, it was silent. It was as if other than the two of them, there were only those swarms of bugs left. Du Yue took out a map and crossed out their location. She retrieved He Xing’s car from her interspace, and the two of them headed to their next destination.

“Let’s go to the city center first. We’ll talk about the rest later,” He Xing said. In fact, even if He Xing had not said anything, Du Yue would have thought the same. It was not that they had found clues but that both of them had an inexplicable intuition. When they had no clues, both of them were willing to trust their intuition.

The place they were going to this time was a villa area. The houses in the villa area were all about three stories high. In addition, this was a high-end neighborhood, so a lot of thought was spent on the construction. They were more resistant to earthquakes than ordinary buildings. When Du Yue and He Xing arrived, they realized that the surrounding houses were not severely damaged. For the most part, only the upper floors had collapsed, while the lower floor remained.

Du Yue and He Xing alighted from the car and prepared to search the houses one by one. Just as they went around a house, a person rushed toward them. The figure was extremely fast. He held a rusty knife in his hand and was about to chop Du Yue’s head off.

Du Yue quickly tilted her head and dodged. At the same time, she raised her leg and kicked the figure in the stomach. Du Yue thought that the person who had the courage to sneak attack them at this time should have some ability. However, she did not expect to kick the figure into a pile of rocks five meters away and render them unable to get up again when she did not even use her full strength. Even Du Yue herself could not help but be stunned when she saw the figure get kicked into the air before smashing to the ground.

A few seconds later, Du Yue suddenly came to a realization. She had now completely absorbed the medicine that He Xing had given her. Not only had her lifespan increased, but her physique had also changed quite a bit. However, the strength of her casual kick was astonishing.

The figure was lying in the pile of rubble, motionless. It was obvious that their injuries were not light. Although he did not look like he would lose his life, it was obvious that he had lost the ability to resist. Du Yue and He Xing walked slowly toward the figure. Before they could say anything, they heard the person on the ground say in a weak voice, “I didn’t expect you to be one step ahead of me and find me.”

Du Yue and He Xing were slightly taken aback, but they quickly regained their senses. They had never met this person before, so he probably was not talking to them. To be exact, it was this person who had mistaken them for someone else. Du Yue did not think that this person was talking nonsense. The hatred in his eyes and his clenched teeth when he spoke could not be faked.

Du Yue raised her eyebrows slightly. “Who do you think we are?”

Hearing Du Yue’s voice, Xiang Nan was stunned. His face was full of disbelief. “You… You’re a girl?” His words were very strange, and Du Yue was confused. “So what if I’m a girl?”

Xiang Nan crawled out of the rubble with great effort and approached Du Yue. Noticing his movements, Du Yue’s hand subconsciously reached for the knife at her waist. Xiang Nan walked to a distance of about two steps away from her. He stood still and carefully looked at her eyebrows and eyes that were not covered by the mask. “You’re actually a girl!”
