Before Yao Ran finished taking the oil drums, Long Yu suddenly came back and said, "The fire is getting closer. We need to go now."
Long Yu pulled her along as Yao Ran quickly stored the remaining oil drums at once, using so much mental energy that she felt dizzy and stumbled.
Long Yu caught her and asked, "Ran Ran, are you alright?"
Yao Ran rubbed her temples and replied, "I stored too much at once and overused my mental energy. I'm just a little bit dizzy."
Hearing this, Long Yu squatted down in front of her and said, "Come on, get on my back."
Boom!
Just then, another explosion shook the surroundings. Seeing the fire approaching, Yao Ran quickly climbed onto Long Yu's back. After she held onto him tightly, Long Yu activated his wind ability and ran as fast as he could.
As they exited the warehouse, explosions continued behind them, and the intense heat stung their skin.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Long Yu glanced back to see that the warehouse they'd just left was now engulfed in flames. He picked up speed and leaped over the high fence.
Once his soles touched the ground, Yao Ran quickly got off his back and took out the military vehicle. They then quickly get in without delay. As soon as Yao Ran closed the door, Long Yu hit the accelerator, speeding back toward Juncheng City.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Yao Ran opened the window and looked back. The blazing flames illuminated the dark sky red, and the scorching temperature made her face turn red. After watching for a moment, she leaned back and sighed in relief. The hot night wind was filled with dust, so she closed the window and took out a small portable fan and a bowl of ice. After she arranged them on the dashboard, Yao Ran turned on the fan.
As the cool air filled the car and lowered the temperature, Yao Ran sighed and said, "That was close."
Long Yu glanced at her with concern, "Ran Ran, are you still dizzy?"
"I feel better now." She replied, taking out a cup of lake water.
She handed the cup to Long Yu and waited until he drank it all before refilling the cup and drinking some lake water herself.
Yao Ran leaned back in her seat, closed her eyes, and began to organize the supplies they had collected that night. Some items were dirty from being submerged in water, so she kept them separate from the other supplies.
When she finished arranging everything, she opened her eyes and said, "We found a lot of good stuff tonight."
