Back to the Apocalypse

Chapter 55

"The expressway was broken in many places, there were landslides and the Hengjiang Bridge was broken."

Cao Lei sighed, and no longer spoke. It was simple to talk to smart people, only a few words needed to be said for the meaning to be understood.

Bai Jing was curious, but he was also unhappy. He couldn't figure out what kind of puzzle they were talking about.

Xiao Hao laughed, and explained it lightly, "Cars are also made of metal."

Bai Jing's brain turned and he understood instantly. He also knew why Xiao Sa emphasized that he did not have good control over the details. It was a small matter to have Xiao Sa manipulate the vehicles across the bridge en masse, but in order to have them cross the bridge intact and land safely, balance, speed and gravity were the problems. Even if the cars had been refitted, nobody could guarantee the car would not be damaged when it impacted the ground, let alone if somebody was on the car. This risk could not be taken.

Having arrived at this point, Bai Jing thought of another question. Looking at the cold weather outside, his heart moved slightly: "What about water? It's cold now. When the water is frozen, it would be faster travel along the water than over national roads."

The more he thought about it, the more Bai Jing felt that he was right. He continued, "And we still have two ice power users. Even if the ice breaks, we'll be safe with them."

Xiao Sa carefully considered for a moment, but did not immediately make a decision. The water surfaces had not yet become frozen at this point, and even after the water froze over, he would also need to consider how solid the ice was, whether it could withstand impacts from fighting, and whether or not there would be zombie fish. He always felt that it would not be so simple. If there were other mutant animals under the water, they would surely die on the surface. He pinched Bai Jing's nose and laughed. "We'll wait and see. By the way, are there any other animals under the water? Will they attack the ice?"

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Bai Jing tilted his head as he frowned, then finally pouted and did not speak. He knew that even though he was reborn, he was not good at using his brain. Although he was somewhat clever, he had no understanding of the big picture. Even after he had gone through many things in his previous life, in the end those were only experiences. Rivers and streams were not the same, and his thoughts had been too simple. Although he had walked over ice in his previous life, the stream had only been filled with small fish and shrimp. There would be a lot more fish, shrimp and river crabs in the river. If a big crab suddenly came out, perhaps it would be enough to fight with them.

Xiao Sa gave a low laugh. "Don't think too much, I will protect you." His Little Jing was still the most suited to following his heart and being as direct as he liked. Young masters were naturally meant to be spoiled; things that required brains should be left to him instead. Little Jing's words had also been reasonable, however at present, they still needed to observe the situation. If the weather stayed cold, they could then consider going via the Hengjiang River.

"There's danger up ahead."

Bai Jing was just about to speak, when Yu Yuee suddenly showed an expression that was even worse than crying.
