227 Arriving in Haidao City

After stopping at a barren land next to the expressway, Du Yue took Xiang Nan’s body out of her interspace. “We’ll be leaving Qinghe once we get on the expressway. Let’s give Xiang Nan a burial! Xiang Nan should be a native of Qinghe City and would probably want to return to his roots.”

He Xing agreed. “Let’s use gasoline.”

Du Yue had lived for a combined total of more than 40 years in both her past and present lives. This was the first time she had cremated a corpse. Fortunately, they had a lot of gasoline and enough firewood. Although it took a long time, they managed to burn Xiang Nan’s body to ashes.

After the ashes were collected, Du Yue put them in an iron box. He Xing found the digging robot and made it dig a very deep hole. He put the box in it and filled the hole with soil. The two of them did not set up a headstone for Xiang Nan. For the time being, it was better for him to quietly sleep underground. Xiang Nan might have thought the same. It was enough for him to not be disturbed by others and rest with his sister’s soul in his hometown.

After they were done, Du Yue took out the RV. The two of them took a bath and ate. When it was time to sleep, Du Yue put the RV into her interspace and took out the armored vehicle. They placed a mattress at the back of the armored vehicle. The two of them could lie on it and not find it cramped at all. They could even roll around. Although the armored vehicle was smaller than the RV, it had a stronger defense ability and could allow them to monitor the situation outside from inside the vehicle.

If they slept here, they would not need to take turns keeping watch. As long as an object moved near the car, the surveillance system would turn on the warning function, and a sharp warning tone would sound in the car. If they could sleep well at night, they would naturally be more energetic during the day. The next morning, the two of them had breakfast and drove on the highway.

Fortunately, although there were some collapses on the expressway, they were not serious. After they got on the expressway, they were much faster than before. After all, there were only abandoned farmlands near the expressway. There were no buildings. Even the earthquake had only caused the expressway to collapse a little. There were no obstacles or ruins blocking the road.

Du Yue found a tablet and played an interview. As they listened to the funny interview, the two of them occasionally chatted. Hence, they did not feel bored along the way. On the highway, there was no need to use a compass to identify the direction. They could just look at the roadside signs and drive. They also had a map, so they could clearly see when to turn and which road to take.

Driving along the road for a long time could still make people feel tired. Anyway, they were the only car on the highway. If they felt tired, they could park by the side of the road, switch places, and continue to move forward. After a day of non-stop traveling, they had actually completed nearly half of the journey. Du Yue was in disbelief. She had thought that it would take at least four to five days to reach Haidao City. However, at this speed, they would probably arrive in two or three days.

It was true. Two days later, they arrived in Haidao. Along the way, they also encountered a lot of trouble. When they encountered a situation where the car couldn’t pass through, like when the road was cracked, Du Yue would put the car directly into her interspace. The two of them would then use mobile anchors to help them climb over before taking out the car again.

It had to be said that if Du Yu did not have her space, it would be difficult for them to move forward. Although the journey was a little difficult, they arrived at Haidao City without a hitch. Haidao City was close to the sea, and the second base was not far from the sea. However, Du Yue and He Xing did not head to the base right away. Instead, they planned to find a place to rest for the night and head over the next day.

Du Yue had lived for more than 40 years and this was her first time coming to Haidao City, let alone He Xing. If they did not have to go to the second base, He Xing would not even know that there was a city called Haidao City. The two of them did not know the way, so they could only rely on their gut feeling.

After getting off the expressway, their speed naturally dropped. It was quiet in the car, and neither of them spoke. However, He Xing suddenly spoke as he was driving, “This place is different from Qinghe.”

Du Yue was still trying to figure out where they would be spending the night when she heard He Xing’s words. She turned to him in confusion. “What’s different?”

He Xing reached out to turn off the interview. “Listen.”

Du Yue was still confused at first, but as the tablet was muted, the car fell silent. Du Yue listened carefully for a while and suddenly realized a problem. “This city… It seems the bug disaster didn’t hit this place…”
