“Ah! The snow has stopped! The snow has stopped!”
In the morning, Huang Yao opened the dirt wall of the cave and the people who were eager to go out foolishly stared at the layer of golden snow covering the snow surface. After staring at the blue sky for a while, they screamed.
People who were still lazy in bed hurriedly rushed to the cave entrance without even putting on their outerwear.
Upon hearing it, the person who was still lazy in bed hastily rushed to the entrance without even bothering to put on their coat.
The morning sun shone in, bringing a warmth to the cold wind.
After a while, the excited students finally calmed down and looked at each other, laughing in unison.
The long-awaited sunshine finally illuminated the gloom of the past month.
“Alright, alright, even if the snow has stopped, we still have to eat.” Huang Yao laughed as she carried Li Yan, who was jumping in the snow, and invited everyone who was still outside to come in for food.
The storm that had been raging for 29 days finally stopped on this day, one month after the apocalypse began.
Many people hurriedly finished their breakfast and ran outside to feel the belated warmth.
“The snow has stopped, it’s time for us to leave,” Wang Jun stood at the entrance of the cave, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, and spoke slowly.
The students who were still excited slowly became quiet.
Yes, the snow had stopped, and they were about to part ways.
The students looked at each other, wanting to laugh but unable to.
Xiao Wen and the others did not disturb the students who were about to face their separation, but instead sorted out the things in the cave.
Two days ago, Li Yunsheng predicted that the blizzard would soon end, and they decided to set out individually once the snow had stopped. They wanted to take advantage of the time when there were not many people outside before the snow melted to make progress on their journey.
Xiao Wen and his team were in a military vehicle, which made it easier for them to travel on the snowy road. As for Wang Jun and the five students who were returning to M City, they were even more eager to go home and couldn’t wait for the snow to melt.
Xiao Wen and Wen Le were responsible for taking them to the foot of the mountain in the direction of M City, as the six of them alone wouldn’t be able to bring the bus down.
At the mouth of the cave, Li Yunsheng couldn’t help but give individual instructions while Song Jia and Yang Han, the two girls, held Bai Yun’s hand, silently shedding tears. The other boys hugged tightly.
In this chaotic world, after this parting, they didn’t know if there would be another meeting day.
Chen Ye held onto Qi Rui, who wanted to send You Qing and the others down the mountain. It was better to say goodbye here instead of delaying the inevitable goodbye at the foot of the mountain, which would only make their hearts ache more.
Xiao Wen and Wen Le escorted the six of them to the foot of the mountain, where a bus appeared out of nowhere. Inside the bus were Uncle Mo and Huang Yao, who had prepared food and clothing in advance, and Wen Le also put six knives that they had been accustomed to using during their training.
“Be safe on the road. Whether or not you find your family, live well. It’s not like before, you are now friends who have gone through life and death together. When you encounter danger, help each other out. After you find your family, don’t stay in the city, head towards X City. After all, that’s the provincial capital, where there are military garrisons. If there is a national rescue, there will definitely be a safe zone there,” Wen Le couldn’t help but remind the six of them.
The group nodded, and You Qing hesitated before asking, “Brother Xiao Wen, Wen Le, where are you planning to go?”
Wen Le looked at Xiao Wen.
“We’re planning to go to Tibet. The journey is too far and there are too many uncertain factors. We don’t recommend that you follow us to Tibet after finding your family. If it’s really not possible, gather more trustworthy people and travel together. Watch out for zombies and be careful of people’s hearts,” Xiao Wen received Wen Le’s gaze and also gave them a few words of caution.
“Take care,” Wang Jun nodded to Xiao Wen and Wen Le, and beckoned to the others to get on the bus.
“Goodbye, Brother Xiao!”
“Goodbye, Wen Le!”
“Goodbye!”
“When I have the ability, I will come find you!”
“Waa… Goodbye!”
Until with the help of Wang Jun’s ability, the farewell cries only stopped when the car drove further and further away.
“I quite like them,” Wen Le grabbed Xiao Wen’s hand.
“Because they are still students and don’t have too many bad intentions.”
Wen Le nodded, perhaps because of their innocence, they were easily accepted by them.
“Don’t think about it, we should also hit the road when we get back.” Xiao Wen hugged Wen Le and took the opportunity to kiss him and his hands were wandering everywhere.
These past few days, except for occasionally running away to hide in their own space, they only had a chance to be affectionate. Everywhere they went, there were energetic students, even holding hands had people giggling ambiguously.
Wen Le wrapped his arms around Xiao Wen’s neck, half-closing his eyes and lightly raised his lips, looking like he was ready to be tasted.
The two of them lingered for a while before gasping for breath and separating. They looked at each other’s rosy lips and smiled with pursed lips.
Back in the cave, the two of them pretended not to notice the knowing looks of others and began to help clean up.
Perhaps the departing people were just passing through their lives, and their own journey was about to begin.
Because of the addition of six more people, after they descended the mountain, Wen Le took out two cars.
The car leading the way was still driven by Mo Yan with Chen Ye sitting in the passenger seat and using fire abilities to clear the road. Zhou Quan, Li Yunsheng, and Uncle Mo sat in the second row while Xiao Wen, Wen Le, and Han Ya sat in the back.
The second car was driven by Yin Chengyang with Huang Tao in the passenger seat, while Huang Yao held Li Yan, Qi Rui, and Zhao Ziyan, and sat in the middle. Bai Yun and Han Yifeng were at the rear.
The seats were arranged and some deceptive supplies were placed in each car. The two cars slowly drove away in the reflection of the white snow. The Yuyin Mountains behind them remained quiet as if nothing had happened.
Walking on the snowy road was quite difficult. Not only were the usual road signs invisible, but all the iconic landmarks along the way were all white, making it impossible to distinguish one from the other. Everyone could only rely on their compass to navigate.
At the beginning, Chen Ye’s flames were flickering, sometimes the car might be driving on dry grass in the mountains, and Chen Ye would send out a fireball, melting the snow and burning the grass, leaving a large pit in front of the car.
Sometimes a small flame would flicker and disappear in the wind without touching the snow. Apart from the laughter in their eyes, no one dared to make fun of Chen Ye, or rather, those who would make fun of him were all on the other car.
Perhaps due to the embarrassment of being watched by everyone, Chen Ye’s control over the flames was faster than Han Yifeng’s by more than a little bit.
The two cars drove in the snow all day, maintaining an average speed of 20 miles per hour. They stopped at noon and let the two drivers rest for an hour while eating something on the spot.
It was already dark around 6 pm without any clouds to obscure the moonlight, which made the snow on the ground particularly clear.
The night watch was arranged, and the five superpowers got off the car and slept in the tent while the air conditioning was turned on in the car to make it slightly more comfortable for the others to rest.
Originally, Qi Rui and Zhao Ziyan wanted to get off the car and squeeze into a tent with Liu Hai and Chen Ye, but they were teased by Bai Yun with the words, “Be careful not to disturb people’s love affairs and end up single for life,” which made them tearful.
They watched Bai Yun leave with a heroic back and crawled into Han Yifeng’s tent, feeling infinitely admiring of him. “Where is this woman? She charges ahead killing zombies and clearing the way in the snow. Han Yifeng, buddy, I admire you. She’s more obedient than this woman, and she’s so easy-going!”
Chen Ye and Yin Chengyang were the first to take the night shift. Before climbing onto the roof, Chen Ye patted the two classmates in the wind and consoled them.
They had been in the same class for a year and a half, why haven’t they realized their feelings for Bai Yun?
On the first day of school for freshmen, Bai Yun kicked a senior who tried to take advantage of her, and Chen Ye calmly accepted a fact: the more beautiful a woman, the more fierce she is.
Han Ya stopped Huang Yao, who was about to go to the tent to sleep, when she saw Bai Yun enter the tent. “After our shift, Chen Ye and Yin Chengyang, you two sleep in the middle tent,” she said, poking her head out of the car window. Without waiting for a response, she pulled her head back in and closed the window.
The others thought silently: Han Ya, you really don’t like Yin Chengyang. He never gets the good things, but always gets the bad.
Chen Ye turned his head and looked at Yin Chengyang, who was rubbing his head and grinning, with no sense of being bullied.
Chen Ye’s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t help but have an ambiguous idea. He quickly shook his head, realizing that he was being influenced by the relationship between Xiao Wen and Wen Le.
The difference between Han Ya and Yin Chengyang was too great. If they really got together, either Yin Chengyang would be exhausted from being commanded, or Han Ya would be so angry that he would spit blood.
Xiao Wen and Wen Le took the second shift, and nothing happened until the shift change. With the road blocked by heavy snow, even zombies would have a hard time crawling over to cause trouble.
Xiao Wen and Wen Le curled up on the roof under the blanket. They whispered to each other at first, but soon Wen Le fell asleep in Xiao Wen’s arms. With Xiao Wen there, Wen Le didn’t have to worry about danger while dozing off. Besides, everything was white with snow all around, so any danger would be obvious at a glance.
Just when everyone thought that nothing dangerous would happen in such an environment, danger approached them silently.
Xiao Wen looked at his watch, but it was not time for the shift change yet. He tightened his grip on Wen Le, who was sleeping in his arms, and looked around with narrowed eyes.
Everything was white as far as the eye could see, but something was not right. Although he didn’t find anything, Xiao Wen was confident in his instinctive reaction, which had saved him from death countless times.
He gently woke Wen Le up and made a gesture for his to keep quiet before he could speak. Wen Le opened his eyes in a daze, thinking it was time for the shift change. However, when he saw Xiao Wen’s serious expression, he became alert and expanded his mental power.
“None?”
Wen Le looked up at Xiao Wen and saw him staring at him seriously. Wen Le frowned, withdrew his mental power, and extended it in one direction.
Suddenly, Wen Le’s brows twitched, and he unconsciously tightened the hand that Xiao Wen was holding.
After about thirty seconds, Wen Le looked back at Xiao Wen and gave a bitter smile.
They were surrounded.
Wen Le wrote down his discovery in Xiao Wen’s palm. After he finished writing, Xiao Wen also had to give a bitter smile. The two of them hesitated for a while, afraid that any movement would cause the eavesdroppers in the snow to pounce on them. It was okay for the people in the car, at least they had the solid car body to protect them, but the four in the tent might not be so lucky. A slight mistake could cost them their lives.
Wen Le felt the danger approaching and knew they couldn’t hesitate any longer. He tried it out. Wen Le moved Xiao Wen’s hand away slowly and sat up as slowly as possible. He felt the danger suddenly stop and didn’t come closer or pounce on them. He was relieved.
Xiao Wen clenched the machine gun that Wen Le had handed to him, trying to calm himself down. He didn’t have Wen Le’s mental power, and he couldn’t see the danger in the snow. At this critical moment, he had to rely on his intuition to act.
Seeing that Xiao Wen was ready, Wen Le continued with his movements and slowly lifted the blanket, moving out of the car.
When both feet were on the ground, Wen Le breathed a silent sigh of relief, his body full of sweat.
He walked gently towards Han Yifeng and Bai Yun’s tent.
Luckily, the snow was deep enough that he could move without making any sound, no matter how big the movements were, he didn’t have to worry about being discovered by the eavesdroppers.
Wen Le approached the two of them and saw that they were still sleeping soundly in each other’s arms, which made him shake his head. Although he didn’t make any sound, these two people were not alert enough, and they didn’t notice him approaching.
Finding a good position, Wen Le covered the mouths of the two people at the same time. They would wake up like pigs if they didn’t wake up now. Han Yifeng and Bai Yun were startled, almost jumping up, but Wen Le held them tightly.
They looked along the shadow and in this gloomy night, it was quite strange and frightening. After carefully distinguishing it for a while, they recognized Wen Le and nodded to show that they recognized him.
Wen Le then released their mouths and ignored the two people’s hearts thumping wildly. He turned on the illumination on his watch and took out a piece of paper out of thin air, wrote down the current situation, and asked the two of them to hide in the car without making a sound.
After Han Yifeng and Bai Yun read the contents of the paper, their hearts were shaken. They nodded without saying a word, and the three of them got up carefully and crawled out of the tent.
The sound of opening the car door couldn’t be concealed. Han Yifeng and Bai Yun stood by the car door and waited for Chen Ye and Yin Chengyang to come out before getting into the car together. The danger was close enough for several people to get into the car in that instant.
Using the same method, Wen Le woke up Chen Ye. However, at the moment Wen Le approached quietly, Yin Chengyang opened his eyes. Wen Le nodded in appreciation. With this reaction, it greatly reduced the danger of survival in the end times. They would train the others well when they turned back.
The five of them cautiously leaned against the car door. Yin Chengyang touched Wen Le and pointed to the roof of the car. He then made a gesture with his hand that took Wen Le a while to figure out was the shape of a machine gun. Yin Chengyang meant that he and Xiao Wen would stand on the roof together. Wen Le nodded to Xiao Wen and silently mouthed with the others.
Three.
Two.
One.
Action!
The doors of both cars opened at the same time. The four of them quickly got in and slammed the doors shut with a loud bang. At the same time, Yin Chengyang flipped onto the roof of the car.
