Everyone's on a time-travel adventure! I'm raising city beasts in a post-apocalyptic world
Chapter 57 Guarding the Domain
The rain poured down, and the sky turned completely dark.
Inside the stone house on Xiao Xuan's back, the room was pitch black because there was no light. Lin Feng ultimately failed to succeed. Chen Min was almost lost in the kiss, but at the last moment, she kicked Lin Feng to the other side and grabbed the blanket to cover herself.
The room was too dark, and he didn't know who he had grabbed in the end. He only felt as if he were being submerged in water, with wave after wave washing over him.
Rumble...
A flash of lightning streaked across the room, and light streamed in through the window, illuminating Xiaoyu's pretty face, glistening with sweat.
"Xiaoyu? Is that really your name?"
"Um~ My full name is Su Xueyu, but they all call me Xiaoyu."
Lin Feng laughed and said, "I think you should be called Xiao Shui. Look, this blanket is unusable..."
"Ugh... Waaah..."
Only beauty should not be wasted, let's continue...
The rain outside was getting heavier, hitting the car with a pattering sound.
Even with the wipers on full blast, it was no use. The windshield was covered in water, making visibility extremely poor. The hazard lights were the only way to determine the direction of the convoy, and the convoy's speed immediately slowed down.
The wheels slipped on the muddy road, causing the vehicle to sway from side to side.
The buses at the front, which had been modified by Guo Yi, were fine; they had high chassis and large tires. But the cars behind them were in trouble. Their wheels got stuck in the mud, and even if they pressed the accelerator to the floor, they couldn't get out.
Several vehicles were stuck in the middle of the road. The people in the vehicles braved the torrential rain to get out and push the vehicles. Their clothes were soaked and they were covered in mud, but they still had to get up and keep pushing.
Some cars are stuck so deep that they can't be pushed out at all, even if the engine is revving up and smoking.
"We're finished! The car's gone, everything's gone!" the car owner cried out in despair.
The convoy ahead wouldn't stop for him; one car after another drove past him. No one stopped, no one offered help. In this apocalypse, everyone was living for themselves.
One by one, people abandoned their own vehicles, carried everything they could, and ran to knock on the bus doors, begging for a seat with their supplies.
Some people had nothing to offer, so they pounded on the car door from the outside and pleaded loudly, but the door remained closed.
The convoy struggled through the torrential rain, moving as slowly as if crawling.
Inside the lead car, Wang Lie found Shen Yutong.
"Yutong, it's raining so hard, the convoy can't move. Can you see where we can park and rest nearby until the rain stops?"
Shen Yutong didn't speak, she just nodded. The hand-drawn map was spread out in front of her. Her brows were slightly furrowed. A few minutes later...
She looked up and pointed to a location on the map.
"There is a cliff here, which slopes inwards. Below it is an open area where you can take shelter from the rain."
"How far?"
"Three kilometers!"
"Attention everyone, lead vehicle, turn around. There is a cliff three kilometers ahead on the right. The convoy should take shelter from the rain at the foot of the cliff. All vehicles, stay close and do not fall behind."
The convoy turned in the torrential rain and headed towards the cliff. Cars followed one after another, and the 3-kilometer journey took more than half an hour.
There was indeed a clearing at the foot of the cliff, and it was quite large. After the armored vehicle came to a stop, vehicles followed one after another, their headlights illuminating the entire clearing at the foot of the cliff. People jumped out of the vehicles, stood on the dry ground, looked up at the towering cliff, and let out a long breath.
Wang Lie got out of the RV, and Fang Ling and the others also got out of the vehicle.
Wang Lie's gaze swept across the convoy, then he looked at Fang Ling: "Take a count, how many cars and how many people are left?"
Soon, Fang Ling and more than a dozen logistics staff finished counting the personnel and vehicles.
"Captain, now including Mo Qingluan's convoy, the total number of people is only 567. 37 small vehicles were lost on the road."
Wang Lie was silent for a few seconds. From the initial several thousand people to the current 567 people, every time they stopped, a group of people would be lost, and every time they set off, some vehicles would be left on the road forever. This is the end of the world.
"Arrange for everyone to rest, and have the patrol team stay alert and report any incidents immediately."
The patrol team began to move, with some directing the vehicles to rearrange themselves.
Lin Feng was already dressed and stood next to Xiao Xuan, looking refreshed. Xiao Hei was squatting quietly to the side, its ears perked up, listening for any approaching danger.
Wang Lie approached Lin Feng and looked at the black dog beside him, saying, "Lin Feng, test your beast-taming abilities. We'll be spending the night here."
"Little Black!"
Upon hearing Lin Feng's command, a pale golden light emanated from Xiao Hei, spreading outwards like an upside-down bowl on the ground, with a large portion penetrating deep into the rock wall.
Then the pale golden light slowly faded away, and everyone within the area felt a sense of security, as if they were being protected, which prevented anything wandering in the darkness from getting close.
"Captain, it's ready. The duration is about 12 hours, but once this protective field is activated, you can't move." Lin Feng explained Xiao Hei's skill effect.
Wang Lie nodded, then shouted in a deep voice, his voice clearly reaching the ears of everyone in the convoy.
"Attention everyone! No one is permitted to leave this area within a 100-meter radius!"
"yes!!!"
Everyone quickly got out of the car and moved within a hundred meters, especially after hearing those eerie sounds in the rainy night, they quickened their pace.
If you don't want to die, then listen to me and do as I say.
The heavy rain showed no signs of stopping, and the temperature in the air was dropping, especially as the wind blew, taking away people's body heat. Someone couldn't help but sneeze.
"Tiger, start a fire! Let everyone roast some meat," Wang Lie said to the burly man next to him.
"Captain, the wood on the truck is all wet and won't light."
The burly man nicknamed Tiger, whose real name is Wang Hu, is said to be related to Wang Lie. He initially helped Wang Lie manage a hundred or so patrolmen and is now one of the squad leaders of the hunting team. He is considered the number one person below the Awakened in the caravan.
"Use gasoline. There's a gasoline can in the car. Pour a little in, and once it's on fire, you won't have to worry about it getting wet."
Tiger responded and ran away.
The campfire leaped up from the gasoline-sprayed wood, illuminating an area of several dozen meters.
The crowd gathered around and found a spot to sit by the fire. Those with tents were already setting them up, while those with food were eating small bites around the fire.
"Are we able to stay here tonight?" someone asked.
"Captain Wang said we'll rest here for 12 hours before leaving."
One child asked, "Mommy, is it safe now?"
The child's mother's voice was a little hoarse: "It's safe now. The Awakened One said it's safe. Go to sleep."
A bespectacled man, unable to contain his excitement, said to the people next to him, "Did you see that? That black dog, a flash of golden light, and a shield appeared out of thin air. I feel so good right now..."
"That's no ordinary dog. That's Lord Lin Feng's tamed beast. My patrol brothers told me that it's Lord Lin Feng's tamed beast and can dispel evil spirits."
"Really? Then we can finally get a good night's sleep!"
"Tsk tsk, not only this dog, look over there, that tortoise is now bigger than a truck, and it's carrying a house on its back. That's also his tamed beast."
The group turned to look in Xiao Xuan's direction at the same time.
The bespectacled man clicked his tongue. "With that kind of ability, you could live a more comfortable life than anyone else in this world."
"You bet! I heard there are several campus beauties living in that house, tsk tsk..."
On the other side of the crowd, by a small fire, Mo Qingluan and Mi Xue sat side by side. Their coats were wet, so they took them off and placed them aside. They were only wearing close-fitting undershirts.
Michelle nudged the wood with a twig, making the flames burn brighter. Her gaze lingered on the giant tortoise for a long time before she suddenly spoke.
