Back to the Apocalypse

Chapter 55

Bai Jing did not speak. The sense of urgency that had just been extinguished once again reared its head in his heart. He turned, sat on the bed, and began to cultivate. He hadn't checked on his space ever since they picked up some jade today. He knew that his space dimension would upgrade soon, but there seemed to be a bottleneck that he couldn't break through no matter what. It was annoying, and he once again became anxious.

The vehicle swayed as it continued forward. Although the rain had stopped, the weather was getting colder and colder, the chill wind was biting, and the branches and leaves on the road seemed to have turned yellow overnight. The tree branches were bare, and looking at this scene gave one the feeling of being in the latter months of a cold winter. There was no sign of inhabitation along their three hour journey, and there was a kind of loneliness and depression coming in from all sides.

The smooth journey did not make them happy. Even if this had not been a heavily populated city, people had still used to come and go here. Looking at the scene where broken walls were everywhere, people's hearts became heavy as they mourned for the losses of humankind. How long would they be able to survive...

After receiving Xu Lei's warm hospitality, Yang Chonghui and Liu Hui had relaxed. The heater was on in the car, and they were drinking warm water; they felt as though they had not been so comfortable in a long time. Their fatigue from these recent days had made them exhausted, and once they were more at ease, they leaned on the sofa and soon fell asleep.

When Bai Jing woke up from his meditation, it was already afternoon. He sighed softly to let out his frustration. He could feel that his spiritual strength was very full, and the jade he had absorbed this time hardly had any effect. His powers had already reached the peak of his current level, and now only needed a chance to advance. It was easy to say, but in reality many days had already gone by without any signs of advancement. Sometimes, he even felt resentment in his heart; even just upgrading to level one would be good... at least that way, he could use his ability without restraint, rather than just a chicken rib ability to teleport.

"You're awake. Are you hungry?" Xiao Sa asked softly from his position lying lazily in bed, one hand still resting on Bai Jing's leg.

"Did I disturb you?" Bai Jing shook his head. Seeing him appear to have just woken up, he couldn't help blaming himself. He remembered that Xiao Sao hadn't rested at all last night.

"No, I slept for a while and it's enough. The weather outside is bad, and I can't sleep soundly anyway." Xiao Sa spoke lightly as he sat up.

Bai Jing noticed that there were snowflakes outside the window, and the weather outside was cloudy and overcast. Looking at the time, it was only five o'clock in the afternoon, but outside, the sky had already darkened. The wind blew debris through the air, and the branches along the road were swaying back and forth.

"How far have we gone?" Bai Jing was very afraid of such weather. It wouldn't be long before the cars could no longer travel and the crisis they faced would be even greater.

Xiao Sa was silent. Obviously, he and Bai Jing had the same thoughts.

Cao Lei heard their conversation and turn around, and his cynical face was more solemn than usual as he answered, "We've completed half the journey. If we take the highway from Heyuan, we can reach L Province in two days."

"What else?" Bai Jing asked faintly, looking out of the window. He knew Cao Lei must have something to add.
