Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Who Gave You the Courage?
Ren Yingjie followed the car in front, and since it had been so long since they had been out, everyone was seriously observing the scenery outside. The hellish landscapes of humanity made the group feel stifled, and they unknowingly struck up a conversation.
“Hey, you guys should stop just chatting, haven’t you noticed that our route is getting more and more bizarre?”
Ren Yingjie, who was driving, said.
There were still some pre-apocalypse road signs along the road at intervals. He had been confidently following the car ahead, but when he had just seen a fleeting road sign, he wondered if he had misread it.
Why did that road sign just now show that they were still 50 kilometers away from F province? Was he seeing things?
With Ren Yingjie’s reminder, the others also started to pay attention to the road signs outside.
F province… that didn’t seem to be in the same direction as S city…
After communicating with the car in front using walkie-talkies, the leading car gradually came to a stop.
Su Jin couldn’t help feeling that she had been careless.
Their trip had begun with Lu Hao driving half the distance, but they hadn’t taken a wrong turn, so she hadn’t been too worried.
Moreover, just now, everyone in the car had been focused on Lian Jiyue, who was in the back, and hadn’t paid attention to the route outside.
That was sloppy.
She hadn’t expected Lu Hao to go off course again…
“Hahaha, it’s okay, disciple, we can just see more of the scenery,” Nie Qing said, patting Lu Hao on the shoulder to console him.
“I’m sorry, Xiao Jin,” he had taken the wrong turn again.
Su Jin looked at Lu Hao, who was bowing his head in apology to her, and couldn’t help but ruffle his hair, feeling that at this moment, he resembled an apologetic golden retriever.
“We probably haven’t deviated too much, we might as well stop here to take a break,” Su Jin said.
Their mission was nearly complete, and they weren’t in a rush to return to the base. Besides, if Lian Jiyue would wake up and still wanted to go back to E city, it wouldn’t harm to stay longer in this area.
Although they weren’t in a hurry to return to S city’s base, the survivors in S city were eagerly waiting for them to come back.
“When will our base’s Su Jin and the others come back? I hope they haven’t been poached by other bases.”
“I heard they went on a mission. Their families and team are still in the base.”
“That’s good. When they come back, they can let that arrogant Wood Element woman see our base’s Wood Element.”
“Exactly, talking about being the strongest Wood Element, she’s not afraid of biting her tongue with such claims, huh!”
…
At the S city base, such gossiping crowds were everywhere.
It wasn’t that these people loved to gossip behind others’ backs; rather, a Wood Element woman had been too arrogant in the S city base. She not only insulted their canteen food as pig slop meant for pigs, but also brazenly sped her car in the base, killing someone. These two incidents had already provoked the ire of everyone in the base.
However, the family of the person who had been killed was willing to settle, and it was said that they had received a large sum of Crystal Cores. Even the family blamed their deceased relative, leaving Ye Rongxin with no way to arrest the woman.
The S city base had always been harmonious and stable, but now everyone felt as if a rat had invaded, causing unrest every day.
At this moment, Han Jiajia drove her car into Brother Banzi’s repair shop, stating that her sports car needed maintenance.
“I’m sorry, miss, but I can’t fix this car,”
Brother Banzi said after only a glance.
“What do you mean? So you’re saying your base is ganging up to bully a foreigner like me?”
Han Jiajia was furious. She was absolutely unwilling to buy anything from the Heart Talk Convenience Store, and now she couldn’t even get her car repaired here; she just couldn’t swallow her anger.
“This is a luxury car, and we can’t find the parts for it right now. Even if we patch it up for you, putting a patch of a different color on top won’t look good, right?”
