Main Character:

Shen Yao

Get up, pack up, confirm nothing is missing, then go out and leave.

A car was parked at the doorway, a black SUV that had already been modified.

Shen Yao got in the car, told Shen Chengyi and the other two to sit tight, then chose a drivable road and left directly.

The roads around the Development Zone were more numerous, many of which led out of the city; they were heading to a shelter in H Province, and the road would definitely not be safe.

"Mom, are we taking the expressway?"

Shen Chengyu looked at the parked vehicles around them; many were wrecked beyond recognition, while some could still be driven, except the car keys weren't there, and the owners weren't there either.

"Depends on the situation; the expressway is likely to be jammed," and once on the expressway it's hard to get off. Their plan last night was to take the small roads beside the expressway. Although the route was a bit longer, they could turn around at any time, and small roads made it easy to run into towns and villages, which was convenient for gathering information or anything else.

The black vehicle moved forward along the roads that were still passable; during the trip, they also saw wooden puppets wandering aimlessly outside.

These wooden puppets smelled the scent of people in the vehicle and couldn't help but run over; however, the wooden puppets' speed couldn't compare to the car's speed. After driving a short distance, many wooden puppets followed behind them, but none could catch up.

The vehicle passed a corner, and the road ahead was no longer easy to travel because a car had cut in.

Left with no choice, Shen Yao stepped on the brakes and, by the way, raised her hand to look around at the situation.

Shen Chengyi pushed open the car door and got out; the long blade in her hand soon met the bodies of the wooden puppets. Not only did she slaughter all the wooden puppets around the vehicle, but she also dug out quite a few crystals from the wooden puppets' heads.

Drip drip drip

More and more cars were stuck ahead, and the wooden puppets behind were getting closer and closer. Shen Yao told Shen Chengyi to get in the car quickly; they simply changed roads and left.

"Where to?"

Shen Chengyu looked forward expectantly. Mainly, there weren't many passable roads ahead to begin with, and because vehicles appeared on both the left and right, completely blocking the road, they could only stop and wait for the opposite side to pass first. If the opposite side couldn't get through for a while, they would be stuck here.

"Take the small road, the alley on the left; go around it, and we can avoid this section."

Shen Yao turned the steering wheel. After Shen Chengyi got in the car smoothly, she directly started the vehicle beneath her and, by the way, rammed away the car blocking the road.

Complaints from others rang in her ears. Because traffic jams would cause wooden puppets to gather, Shen Yao's side left first, which instead gave these people a new way out.

Shen Chengning saw through the window beside her that vehicles were following behind them. Because the road in the small alley was narrow, only one car could pass at a time, and the distance between the two parties was very close.

Bang bang bang

The bicycles and electric scooters parked ahead could all be rammed away. Shen Yao couldn't use the horn, so she could only have Shen Chengyi get out of the car to move the stones blocking the road.

Fortunately, there were no wooden puppets in the small alley. Those wooden puppets attracted from afar were still chasing many vehicles without letting up. By the time they successfully passed through the alley and got back onto the asphalt road, the road ahead had become much more spacious.

They drove all the way to a gas station and stopped. Shen Yao planned to stock up on more gasoline.

Many people had the same plan as Shen Yao, and this gas station wasn't large; there were only two fuel pumps side by side that could dispense oil.

"Move aside, we saw it first."

Someone ran down and beat Shen Yao to occupying a fuel nozzle, and by the way, didn't forget to drive others away so they could monopolize the gas station alone.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao still couldn't speak, but Shen Chengyi beside her had already drawn her long blade horizontally.

No words were needed; Shen Chengyi's cold aura alone was enough to make the person who ran out shut up. The right to seize the gas station ultimately returned to Shen Yao's hands. That gasoline went into oil drums and was placed in the trunk.

"Get in the car!"

Shen Chengyi looked behind her; she could already vaguely feel that the main force of wooden puppets was about to arrive. Their next route wouldn't be easy.

"Let's go."

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning didn't get out of the car. Shen Chengyi and Shen Yao discussed it and felt that the current gasoline reserves were enough. For the next few days, unless necessary, they wouldn't stop at any other time.

They were the first vehicle to complete the refueling mission. When they left, other vehicles hadn't caught up yet. After the car successfully got onto the small road beside the expressway, they found that the expressway entrance had been jammed for a long stretch.

Probably about two or three kilometers; the vehicles were bumper to bumper and couldn't move at all. There was no one inside anymore; surely during the most chaotic time, they wanted to leave but ended up in a chain-reaction accident.

Shen Chengyu patted her chest, saying they were lucky not to have taken the expressway. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to leave right now and would have to turn around, wasting time—not to mention they'd easily be caught up by wooden puppets.

However, although there were no wooden puppets behind their vehicle, there were wooden puppets lingering at the intersection ahead.

It should be that people who had car accidents were infected. They could only wander around. Finally encountering the scent of people inside a car that they could smell, they pounced over without regard for anything.

Shen Yao didn't stop the car but directly rammed into them. Not only did the car come to a stop from the impact, but the two wooden puppets blocking the road were also knocked to the ground.

Shen Chengyi got out of the car to deliver finishing blows. When she came back, she had two more crystals in her hand.

The crystals were put away and stored in the space for backup. They continued on their journey.

Because it was a small road, the road conditions weren't very good, and there were occasional traffic jams along the way. Fortunately, they swerved left and right and passed through smoothly. By the time it got dark, they found a place to park.

"This is... a temporary parking lot?" The crops around grew tall and lush; vehicles hidden inside couldn't be seen at all.

Shen Chengning looked at the mutated crops and thought to herself that such species were quite scary.

"Mm, there are two abandoned vehicles around, and there's still some gasoline inside."

Using tools to suck out the gasoline, Shen Yao told the three to get in the car quickly. Eating and drinking would be done inside the car, and they would leave again tomorrow morning.

The sucked-out gasoline was placed to one side, and she directly opened the fuel tank and poured it in. Shen Yao patted her palm, got in the car, took out convenient food from the space, and after a few mouthfuls, simply filled her belly.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning had already started watching videos on their phones—content downloaded back when there was internet. Now the two wore headphones, hiding in the back seat, and from time to time were amused by the content until they laughed together.

After finishing eating, Shen Chengyi took her knife and got out of the car. She said she would patrol the surroundings to avoid danger.

Shen Yao sat in the car and guarded the first half of the night, while also having the system monitor the surroundings. If anything happened, she would be notified in advance so they could prepare.

"Host, new vehicles are coming. They probably want to rest here."

Apart from this parking lot, there was no other place to rest around. Just stopping carelessly on the road would be very dangerous.

Therefore, most vehicles would enter the parking lot. It's just that Shen Yao and the others had occupied the most convenient spot first, so other vehicles could only park behind them.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning leaned against the window, trying hard to look outside. As it turned out, whether it was a coincidence or not, among the incoming vehicles were acquaintances they had once met.

"Gas Station!"

Shen Chengyu remembered that man spoke very aggressively; if it weren't for Shen Chengyi holding a knife in her hand, the other party wouldn't have acted so agreeable either.

Shen Chengning half-narrowed her eyes, making Shen Chengyu move away from the window; just judging by her temper, the other party wasn't anything good, and who knew if she would stir up trouble tonight.

Don't look at the two younger ones being young in age, but benefiting from Shen Yao's profession, Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning also count as well-informed and widely experienced.

As the arriving vehicles filled the parking lot, people got out in twos and threes to stretch.

With many people, you say a sentence, I say a sentence, and that's how bickering arises.

Shen Chengyi had just returned from a patrol, conveniently splitting a few wooden puppets on the way, but just as she was about to get in the car, someone shouted to stop her.

It was a middle-aged auntie, wearing pretty curly hair, just dressed rather casually herself, and speaking without any scruples.

"Miss, miss"

Shen Chengyi turned her head, her gaze calmly looking at the auntie, not understanding the other party's purpose.

"Miss, I want to ask, is it convenient for you to squeeze out another spot in your car? My family"

Before the words even landed, Shen Chengyi shook her head and refused, incidentally indicating they would leave early tomorrow, so freeing up a spot wouldn't be of any use.

Auntie:......

This child, how come she's so useless? Being able to rest well at night, their whole family old and young several mouths, still in a not-so-big small sedan, how can that compare to a spacious SUV.

The auntie wanted to say a bit more, but Shen Chengyi was unmoved, the car door closed, and the auntie could only return disappointed.

Shen Yao raised her hand to take the long blade from Shen Chengyi's hand, wiped it dry with a towel, and put it away properly.

"Rest."

"Tonight might get chaotic."

Shen Yao and Shen Chengyi's words sounded simultaneously; Shen Chengyi pointed at the crowd outside. Although many had already returned to their vehicles to rest, quite a few remained outside talking. Perhaps they still harbored luck in their hearts, feeling that with so many people they weren't afraid of encountering danger.

"Wooden puppets are sensitive to human scent; there are many people here, and many are ordinary people." Although evolution doesn't distinguish between men, women, old, or young, some people are born not feeling they can make it; when encountering things, they avoid if they can. Don't look at the many people here, but when trouble comes, most are just cannon fodder.

"Mm, you rest first, I'll keep watch. Once it gets chaotic, we leave."

Just right, their car was parked at the very front of the parking lot; just one press of the accelerator and they could drive out.

It's not that Shen Yao didn't want to save the other people in the parking lot; it was dark and chaotic, and there were dangers around. They definitely had to guarantee their own safety first before considering others.

Shen Chengyi didn't argue with Shen Yao about anything, because in their family, the strongest combat power was her. Once Shen Chengyi rested poorly, what was affected was their own safety.

Closing her eyes, leaning back to lie down, still holding the long blade Shen Yao had helped wipe dry in her arms, Shen Chengyi relaxed her mind and rapidly entered sleep mode.

When she opened her eyes again, outside was still pitch black, and there wasn't a bit of sound in the surroundings.

"Awake?"

Shen Yao asked softly.

Shen Chengyi gave an "Mm", "I'll keep night watch."

Right now it was nearly four o'clock; in a little over an hour the sky should be fully bright.

After all, it wasn't winter; summer days are long and nights short, and before six o'clock it was already possible to see brightness.

Shen Yao nodded, directly falling asleep in her clothes, and even started a light snore.

Opening her eyes again, it was already daylight. Voices of people talking came from the cars beside them. Shen Yao rubbed her eyes, then turned her head and woke Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning. The four hurriedly washed up, incidentally finishing breakfast, and only then started the vehicle and left directly.

Shen Chengyi only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the vehicle get on the road. She had kept her body tense the whole time, just afraid a wooden puppet would rush out and block the way; there were really too many people here.

Continuing yesterday's journey frequency, because it was a small path, there were many villages and towns existing around, and the frequency of encountering wooden puppets on the road increased quite a lot.

As long as it didn't delay time, they would stop the car to kill wooden puppets and obtain crystals. Occasionally at night, they would also choose abandoned villages to rest.

After all, sleeping in the car was still too inconvenient; the space was small and unsuitable for activity, while there were many empty houses in the villages. Tidying out a room to settle in was also very convenient. Who let them have many supplies in their space? Besides the journey being more laborious, they actually hadn't suffered much hardship.

Thought they would just advance like this and reach H Province, but when they were about to leave the province, they were stopped by a barbed wire fence erected there.

The barbed wire fence was clearly a man-made installation. Not far away there were still people patrolling. Looking at this situation, they didn't look like good people; rather, they were taking advantage of the chaos to rob.

The car had to stop. Shen Yao and Shen Chengyi got out of the car.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning obediently stayed in the car observing the situation.

"You lot, want to pass, pay up."

The people guarding behind the barbed wire fence were also very direct, without the slightest beating around the bush; opening their mouths was demanding money.

Of course, at this time, money was already useless. The money he spoke of referred to supplies that could be eaten and drunk, and those crystals inside the wooden puppets' heads.

"How much?"

Shen Yao didn't want to wrangle with them. A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Besides, their purpose was to go to H Province's shelter to live. The longer they delayed outside, the more dangerous going to H Province became.

It's just a bit of food and crystals. As long as the other party wasn't too excessive, Shen Yao could agree to them.

Pity the other party saw it was two women coming, and obviously a mother-daughter relationship at that, and both very beautiful. Those pairs of eyes looking over appeared very improper.

Shen Yao:......

You tell me, greedily taking a bit of advantage is nothing, why must they challenge high difficulty.

Lion's big opening of the mouth, demanding several people's portions of food, and also crystals that ordinary people wouldn't agree to, incidentally saying some improper ghost words.

Shen Chengyi wouldn't indulge them, directly raising her hand and chopping, slicing off a person's arm.

Ah!

The sharp cry made the crowd recover their senses. They didn't have any ranged tools in their hands. Both sides relied entirely on melee weapons to fight; they weren't Shen Chengyi's match.

In just a few moves, these road-blocking lackeys all became dead souls under Shen Chengyi's blade.

The barbed wire fence was torn open and thrown aside. Shen Yao walked up to one of the men who still had some breath left. "Speak. How many people are here? How long have you been doing this?"

The man was scared out of his wits, afraid he would also lose his life under the blade. Opening his mouth, he directly sold out those accomplices living in the village eating fragrant and spicy food completely clean.

Originally before the chaotic world they were just small-time hoodlums. Right now they also couldn't change their hoodlum nature. It wasn't that they didn't want to go live in H Province's shelter, but their identities fundamentally didn't permit it. They could only pick a place convenient for robbing to take root, and usually lived by snatching other people's supplies.

It was also running into a hard nut like Shen Chengyi. Otherwise their days passed moisturizingly, and they really were reluctant to give up this kind of ten-thousand-fold profit business.
