Long Yuehong looked back at the disconnected strip and asked in concern, “What about Little White?”
Jiang Baimian exclaimed, “I should’ve let Little White sit in the car. She’s so light that it wouldn’t have affected anything.”
After showing her ‘frustration,’ she smiled at Long Yuehong. “It’s time for you to shine. Go over and bring Little White over.”
“Uh…” Long Yuehong was stunned. There’s such a good thing?
Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao urged him in unison.
Long Yuehong quickly jumped back to the other side of the disconnected belt. He hesitated for a moment, turned around, and squatted down. “I’ll carry you.”
“Alright.” Bai Chen didn’t refuse.
Jiang Baimian kept smiling as she watched the two of them come over.
Shang Jianyao tried to clap, but he was stopped from doing so.
…
After driving for 20 to 30 minutes along a road that wasn’t too flat and had many plants in the way, a city appeared in front of the Old Task Force.
High-rise buildings, green plants that wantonly grew from different places, mottled grayish colors, and steel ‘trash’ that could be seen everywhere combined to form a scene that Jiang Baimian and the others were familiar yet unfamiliar with.
Long Yuehong couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. “Every time I enter such a well-preserved city ruin, I’m shocked by the Old World civilization. How did so many high-rise buildings, bridges that spanned across the sky, countless vehicles, and all kinds of high-tech products be destroyed all of a sudden…”
Jiang Baimian smiled. “If you really say so, the company’s underground building might be more shocking than any of these city ruins.”
Who would’ve thought that there could be a building more than 2,000 meters tall underground?
Long Yuehong thought about it and realized that it was indeed so. However, he was born and raised in Pangu Biology. He was already accustomed to this miraculous crystal of civilization and thought nothing of it.
“What we need to confirm now is where this is.” Shang Jianyao was surprisingly the one who steered the topic back on track with a serious expression.
“That’s right.” Genava chose to agree with this behavior after some analysis.
Jiang Baimian pointed ahead. “We’ll circle around the abandoned vehicles and search the streets for clues to confirm the city’s name.”
“Alright.” Long Yuehong turned the steering wheel and made the jeep drive onto what was formerly the sidewalk.
As for the roads, they had long become a disorderly parking lot after the Old World was destroyed. White skeletal remains were scattered between them.
After Long Yuehong parked the jeep, the Old Task Force split into two teams. One team had Shang Jianyao and Genava, and the other had Bai Chen, Long Yuehong, and Jiang Baimian. There were Awakened on both sides.
They then took turns guarding the vehicles and searching the houses along the street.
More than ten minutes later, Shang Jianyao and Genava walked back to the jeep. The former said to Jiang Baimian, “We saw a promotional billboard over there. It says…”
Shang Jianyao suddenly paused.
“What’s written on it?” Long Yuehong blurted out a question.
Shang Jianyao smiled. “It says: Let’s build a beautiful Tai City together!”
Jiang Baimian immediately frowned. “Is this really Tai City?”
Long Yuehong and Bai Chen also felt a little confused.
They arrived at their destination so easily?
“Other clues also indicate that this is indeed Tai City…” Genava began to report their gains.
After he finished speaking, Shang Jianyao stroked his chin and said, “We also realized that many supplies had been preserved here. The gold accessories on many corpses are also clearly visible.”
His expression gradually turned serious. “It’s relatively easy to find such a city ruin, and it’s not cordoned off by the Salvation Army. Even if it’s in Icefield, it’s impossible for no Ruin Hunters to come here. Whether it’s setting off from the Salvation Army’s north or coming from the White Knights’ territory, it won’t take a month to reach here. There’s no need to endure the harsh coldness of late-autumn and mid-winter.”
