Chapter 467: 258 Capricious (Second Update)_2

After a brief rest, Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye were ready to continue their journey. They were both anxious to reach Beishi City as soon as possible, unwilling to stop for breaks.

Moreover, their physical condition was far beyond that of ordinary people. Even if they went without sleep for several nights, they wouldn’t feel exhausted. For them, resting was merely a waste of time.

While they didn’t need rest, others were both tired and hungry, emotionally and physically drained. Ordinary people driving for long hours could become extremely exhausted, not to mention the constant fear and tension they had endured along the way, coupled with not being able to have a full meal. Continuing the journey would be very stressful for them.

Seeing that Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye were about to continue on the road, someone bravely advised, "Driving at night is really dangerous. Would you two like to find a place to rest for the night and continue in the morning?"

By this time, Fang Yuxin had taken out her tablet and was estimating their current location. Observing the area marked on the map, Fang Yuxin tapped her fingers gently and frowned.

Bai Ye leaned over and took a glance, seeing it displayed Lin City, which didn’t seem too far from their location. He asked, "Are you planning to go there? Are you meeting someone?"

As their initial plan didn’t include passing by Lin City, Fang Yuxin looking at this place surely had a reason. Bai Ye speculated a few possibilities in his mind, thinking the most likely one being Fang Yuxin might know someone in Lin City, hence her desire to visit.

Upon his inquiry, Fang Yuxin nodded, "A friend of mine went back to her hometown here before the apocalypse. I don’t know how she’s doing now; I plan to check on her." After saying this, she looked at Bai Ye, her gaze involuntarily carrying a hint of pleading.

After all, their current priority should be getting to Beishi City. Going to Lin City would mean a detour, and even upon arriving, finding someone wouldn’t be easy. Fang Yuxin knew her request was somewhat willful.

But Li Qingyun had helped her a lot; if it hadn’t been for him, she wouldn’t have known so quickly that Bai Qianqian was her biological son, nor learned about Fang Mengyao’s poisoning, which was detected by Li Qingyun.

Before the apocalypse, she had specifically shown Li Qingyun the post online advising her to be careful and prepare early. Yet knowing this, Li Qingyun had still decided to go back and stay with her family.

After the apocalypse, communication was cut off, and she lost contact with Li Qingyun, not knowing whether he was still alive.

Now that she was here, not far from Lin City, she felt she would be remiss not to check.

Seeing the earnestness in Fang Yuxin’s eyes, Bai Ye was deeply moved. Without even thinking, he immediately said, "Since you want to go, let’s go check it out."

Fang Yuxin breathed a sigh of relief, unconsciously smiling at Bai Ye. Her smile was oddly tender and docile, quite unlike her usual demeanor, mesmerizing Bai Ye.

Their eyes locked, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Fang Yuxin quickly averted her gaze, innocently blinking and suggestively said, "In that case, let’s hit the road."

Bai Ye also felt somewhat uncomfortable and instinctively echoed, "Yes, it’s time to go."

They exchanged glances again, then quickly looked away. Bai Ye, after a moment’s thought, got out of the car and said to the others, "We’re not far from Lin City, and we plan to go check it out. If you want, you can follow us. If not, we won’t force you. There should be a safe base nearby; you can decide for yourselves."

Hearing this, the others started to contemplate. They naturally dared not depart on their own. However, since it was indeed not far from Lin City, there should be a safe base there too. Finding a safe place would mean they no longer had to live in fear.

But, unlike them, Liu Zhenglin, Zhao Yan, and the Qian grandfather-grandson duo had different ideas—they decided to stick with Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye.

They thought more than the others. What good was finding a safe base? Ordinary people wouldn’t get good treatment in a safe base! Besides, who knew the complexities of a strange place? But following Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye was different; they were both strong and not utterly heartless, making it safer to stay with them.

They wouldn’t share these thoughts with others, be it due to their own selfishness or gratitude towards Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye. They were indeed happy to see others leave.

Thus, on the road that followed, everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts.

The distance to Lin City indeed wasn’t far, but the closer they got to the safe zone, the more zombies seemed to gather. Shortly after they exited the highway, they encountered several groups of zombies.

Fortunately, their luck seemed good, encountering only small groups of zombies that were easy to deal with. However, the others following them weren’t so fortunate; they were nearly scared to death by the incessant groups of zombies!

Later, Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye had no choice but to lead everyone away from the densely populated zombie areas, narrowly reaching the vicinity of Lin City.

After getting through the encirclement of zombies, they gradually encountered people from the safe base of Lin City. By this time, it was already past eight in the evening, and it was quite dark, so there weren’t many people outside the safe base, as most were hurrying back.

They encountered a truck with a large trailer—there were quite a few people inside, probably a mercenary team out on a mission.

Seeing strangers, these people were very wary, their gazes filled with scrutiny. (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
