"We don’t know either..." Sun Yuzhen, in her thirties, was currently disheveled and exhausted. Her once neat short hair now looked like dry grass. She quickly said, "Initially, we were following Silent City, but we and many other convoys encountered a mysterious mist within. There were terrifying things in there, and most convoys were scattered. When we managed to escape the mist, we suddenly found ourselves in a desert."
"And then you encountered sand bandits?" Lin Xian said.
Upon hearing their words, Lin Xian imdiately recalled that Hu Lushou had ntioned a similar incident. It seed that Hu Lushou’s convoy had also encountered the sa situation, which made Lin Xian suspicious.
From Longjiang to Akse, the distance exceeds that of the entire unmanned zone. Even assuming the convoy never stopped, it would take at least two to three days, not to ntion fleeing in the wilderness where fast speed was impossible. How could they suddenly move from the southern Extre Night Zone of Star Abyss No.5 to the northern Western Desert in a short ti?
At this mont, Lao Mo nodded forlornly, expressing his regret: "It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have followed Silent City..." As he spoke, he glanced at Sun Yuzhen and his two grandchildren beside him, recalling old friends who had vanished in another vehicle, his tone laden with regret.
Lin Xian glanced at Sun Yuzhen. Her clothes were the most ragged; buttons had popped off, and her pants were torn to shreds, with no underwear left beneath. The crotch and inner thighs of her pants were stained with a lot of blood, clearly bullied by those sand bandits. Yet she seed indifferent, showing only excitent and joy at surviving. As she explained the situation to Lin Xian, she opened a pack of biscuits to feed her son and daughter nearby.
Miao Lu had already taken a piece of clothing from the car to drape over Sun Yuzhen, making her less embarrassed under the gaze of so many people.
"Thank you." Sun Yuzhen gratefully accepted it and, under everyone’s gaze, calmly said, "Actually, it’s nothing. In these tis, surviving is more important than anything. It’s just... not good for the children to see."
The little daughter glanced at the crowd with timid, fearful eyes, hastily eating the biscuit offered to her. The older son, however, watched the crowd with wary eyes, shrinking closer to his mother, tightly clutching his small fists, seemingly trying to hide his mother’s disheveled clothes to protect her.
At this mont, the other Infinity team mbers’ gaze towards Sun Yuzhen began to change subtly, seemingly influenced by her resilience.
Won in the apocalypse are naturally a vulnerable group. Having skills and strength is beneficial; otherwise, during the chaotic escape, their status plumts. Not every woman can be like Monica, maintaining control over their destiny both before and after the apocalypse.
Lao Mo’s family had a tough escape; his son died before reaching Yu Bei City. The Tie Li family’s convoy relied on mutual support from a few old comrades to make it this far. From Lao Mo’s guilty expression, it was evident that this once-proud and carefree old man felt much older after this ordeal.
Clearly, he attributed the pain of being unable to protect his family to his own incompetence. The previously cool cowboy with shades now seed dried up, as if devoid of vitality.
"It’s okay, Xiao Tian; they are good people. Captain Lin saved us. Those sand bandits were all killed by them."
Upon hearing Sun Yuzhen, Mo Xiaotian’s eyes turned from wary to fervent. He imdiately crawled to his mother and then knelt down before Lin Xian, pleading, "Please give a gun. I can kill sand bandits and zombies too!"
Everyone witnessing this scene had somber expressions.
Lin Xian directly reached out to support Mo Xiaotian’s head before it could hit the ground, saying, "There will definitely be an opportunity, but what you need to do now is not to kowtow."
After speaking, Lin Xian said to Lao Mo, "Lao Mo, temporarily rest on our vehicle. I’ll learn more about the situation from you later."
Lao Mo sighed deeply, looking at Lin Xian and said, "Ah... I don’t even know how to thank you with these old bones of mine."
Sun Yuzhen was filled with fervent excitent upon hearing this. She quickly pulled her daughter and son beside her and said to Lin Xian and everyone present, "Thank you all. We... we won’t trouble you. I’m a superpower user, not very strong, but I can fly and know how to use a gun. Xiao Tian and Xiao Le can help a lot too. They can do the dirtiest and most tiring work without being a burden to you."
anwhile, Xiao Tian and Xiao Le kept nodding repeatedly.
"You’re a flying superpower user?" Lin Xian was sowhat surprised upon hearing this.
Wow.
Sun Yuzhen was evidently straightforward, saying nothing and directly unfolding a pair of white feathered wings on her back in front of everyone. They appeared quite broad, but at this mont, those wings were scarred heavily, with knife and bullet wounds visible down to the bone, appearing quite bloody.
"The injuries are so severe. Miao Lu, take them for treatnt," Lin Xian instructed.
At this mont, Lin Xian also felt a faint unease in his heart. He sensed that the situation Hu Lushou and Lao Mo ntioned regarding Star Abyss No.5 was definitely not coincidental. There was certainly so unknown danger associated with Star Abyss hidden in this unmanned zone!
However, Lin Xian temporarily pushed this thought aside. Right now, he shouldn’t waste ti, quickly having Miao Lu bring the group onto the vehicles. After finding out more details from Hu Lushou later, he’d discuss with other convoys this bizarre situation.
