“We have encountered some people coming from the north, and it seems that the situation there is not optimistic…” Fu Rong said, looking at Xu Song with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.
“The city area of B City has completely fallen. I heard that a refuge has been established in the north, at the former suburban airport… Oh, it seems that it’s now called the base. But the city… the earthquake at that time almost destroyed the entire city.”
The northern airport?!
Xu Song felt a surge of excitement, but he managed to suppress his expression and didn’t let it show on his face. “I want to go and see for myself. I can’t rest easy without seeing it with my own eyes…” he said, lowering his head as if filled with sorrow.
Yue Zheng patted Xu Song’s shoulder in cooperation and smiled apologetically at Fu Rong. “I have to accompany him on this journey. Otherwise, I won’t be at ease.”
Fu Rong could only smile and then looked at Su Daji.
Su Daji shrugged. “I have to discuss this with Luo Wen’an and Liu Shishi.”
Yue Zheng and I are just two people, while Lao Kong has eight people… Oh, not counting the rescued comrades and the other superhumans who escaped with them. Fu Rong silently calculated in his mind, knowing that his gains this time would definitely be significant. Even if Su Daji and the others didn’t want to join, it wouldn’t matter. He had observed that Su Daji and Luo Wen’an had common abilities like speed and enhanced vision. Although there was one special superhuman, her survival was still uncertain after the experiments in the laboratory.
The only regret was Yue Zheng… but Yue Zheng’s ability seemed to be related to physical strength, although his mind might be more capable, but…
His gaze shifted to Wang Feng. This person didn’t seem like a simple character. He decided to find an opportunity to talk to him. It might turn out to be a pleasant surprise.
Besides, those people were all rescued by Yue Zheng and the others themselves. If they were left behind, there would be concerns about them becoming a potential threat to his own power. It was more convenient this way.
The two of them discussed quietly and decided to stay here for the night, staying in the room next to Luo Wen’an and the others.
With so many people around and the uncertainty of whether there were eavesdroppers, they didn’t talk about anything after returning to their room. They simply embraced each other and fell asleep. However, in the middle of the night, they suddenly heard a cry of anguish from the next room.
They rushed out and found that the sound was coming from Luo Wen’an’s room. Su Daji was rubbing his eyes and knocking on the door.
Other people from the rooms also came out to check the situation.
In the room, Luo Wen’an was comforting Liu Shishi, who was sobbing uncontrollably. When the group entered, Luo Wen’an turned to them and said, “Shishi had a nightmare.”
Liu Shishi kept sobbing, gripping Luo Wen’an’s clothes tightly. Luo Wen’an continued to console her, saying, “It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s all over now.”

Their footsteps instantly froze, and both of them saw the shock in each other’s eyes. Meanwhile, Su Daji stood still, staring blankly at the two figures huddled together on the bed.
The next morning, Fu Rong gave a speech to those who were rescued, including Lao Kong’s subordinates, which was similar to the one he delivered the previous night. The central idea was that the world was in chaos, with the mutation of animals and plants, human evolution, and oppression by the government. Therefore, evolved humans should unite and create a new era!
The speech was more vivid than the one the previous day and filled with passionate rhetoric. For these people who had just escaped from the laboratory, it was like heavenly music.
Xu Song and Yue Zheng sat in Wang An’s room. They had just finished listening to Fu Rong’s speech again and were now waiting for Wang An’s opinion. After all, they had escaped from Y City together and Wang An was Yue Zheng’s colleague.
“Do you still want to go to B City?” Wang An’s body had been treated and was in much better condition now.
Yue Zheng nodded.
“The team has completely fallen apart… even Y City…” Wang An closed his eyes. When they left, who could have imagined it would come to this?
“So, you still want to go to B City and report back?”
Yue Zheng shook his head. “It’s not about reporting back. It’s about finding Xiao Song’s relatives.”
Wang An was momentarily speechless. He had thought all along that these two were cousins, but only today did he hear that they were actually a couple… Well, whether they were a couple or not, nobody cared before, let alone now. If they were willing, it was fine.
However, since he had been colleagues with Yue Zheng, there were some things he had to advise, but if the other party didn’t listen, he couldn’t do anything about it. “I heard that B City…”
Yue Zheng nodded. “I know.”
“Is it worth it?”
Yue Zheng looked down at Xu Song and tightened the hand on his shoulder. “There’s nothing more worthwhile than this.”
Wang An helplessly closed his eyes and shook his head. “I don’t want to go. All the people in higher positions are dead. What use would I be if I went? Originally, I was supposed to escort the superhumans to the north, but now all the superhumans are dead. Who should I protect? Let fate decide how things will unfold.”
Yue Zheng’s eyes flashed with a hint of determination. “After they knocked all of you out that day, have they confirmed that Colonel Wu and the others are dead?”
Wang An shook his head. “I don’t know for sure. I didn’t see it with my own eyes. I only heard from the ability user that he witnessed it.”
“Take care of yourself. Perhaps we will come back once we find Xiao Song’s relatives,” Yue Zheng said, standing up and patting Wang An on the shoulder.
“As long as we’re alive, we’ll meet again someday,” Wang An smiled at him. Compared to the shelter established by the authorities, he felt more secure in an organization formed by ability users. He knew what Fu Rong was planning, but so what? It was still better than being locked up in a laboratory, treated like guinea pigs.
After leaving Wang An, the two went to Luo Wen’an and Su Tanji’s room again.
Liu Shishi was resting, and Luo Wen’an and Su Tanji had relaxed expressions. When they were asked about their plans, Luo Wen’an shrugged. “We were originally planning to go wherever we wanted to go, but we encountered this mess in S City. Since Fu Rong has the intention of establishing an ability user base, and we have nowhere else to go, we might as well stay here.”
Su Tanji nodded. “I feel the same way. I’ll go wherever you go.”
“Besides… Shishi has been through a lot, and I want her to have a good rest,” Luo Wen’an’s expression became serious, and he sincerely thanked Yue Zheng and Xu Song. “If it wasn’t for you, we wouldn’t have been able to rescue Shishi. We were supposed to accompany you to B City, but…” Liu Shishi’s condition is really bad, otherwise, he would not want to stay in this sad place, after all, the further away from this place, the better it is for Liu Shishi.
After all, the danger on the road was nothing compared to the malicious intent of their own kind.
“It’s alright. We came to S City together as companions, and when something like this happened right in front of us, we couldn’t just stand by,” Yue Zheng comforted them. “So, we’ll leave tonight. Take care of yourselves.”
“We understand. We won’t make the same mistake twice,” Luo Wen’an nodded. After this incident, they would no longer trust anyone so easily. Despite Fu Rong’s pleasant words, they wouldn’t block a knife for him.
They stayed until nightfall and left quietly, without informing anyone except Lao Kong’s group.
The villa area had been organized. Fu Rong’s people, Lao Kong’s people, and the ability users who had escaped from the laboratory had gathered here, totaling nearly a hundred people, occupying twelve villas.
In the dark night, Xu Song navigated the way, leading Yue Zheng out of the villa area they had only visited twice.
After reaching a certain distance, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“That Fu Rong has big ambitions. I guess Wang An and Luo Wen’an will have some trouble,” Xu Song finally relaxed completely. Fu Rong was obviously not a good person to get involved with.
“His ambitions go beyond that,” Yue Zheng said, cutting off a branch that attacked them. “They temporarily placed their base here, but they most likely have their eyes on the S City shelter.”
Xu Song was momentarily stunned. He had wondered about this issue before. After all, they had caused trouble in S City, so why would they stay so close? Now that he thought about it, it made sense. “But… the S City shelter is huge… and how many of them are there?!”
“The number of people is not the issue. If they can find the person in charge and eliminate them, it’s not impossible for this group of ability users to rise up,” Yue Zheng furrowed his brow.
“S City won’t be peaceful for a short while, and even if they don’t succeed, having two factions coexist will eventually lead to problems. We need to leave as soon as possible.”
Xu Song nodded quickly. “Let’s go back and pack our things. We’ll leave early tomorrow!”
“Yes, but before we leave, let’s go to the city center and gather some supplies.” They had consumed a lot of their provisions in S City and needed to collect more for future needs.
“As for food, we don’t need to worry too much.” Xu Song’s lips curled up, and he winked at Yue Zheng. “Your admirer has helped me recognize quite a few plants. As long as our luck isn’t too bad, we’ll have no problem finding enough to eat on the road.”
When Yue Zheng heard the word “admirer,” his eyebrows raised, and he grabbed Xu Song’s arm, pressing his lips against his cheek.
Xu Song blushed, realizing that this was his first time being in a relationship, and he wasn’t very good at reciprocating such actions… Wait, don’t they say that men become beasts in love? Does that mean as long as he treats Yue Zheng as a girl, he can be a bit more aggressive towards him and shift the embarrassment onto him?!
Feeling like he had figured it out, Xu Song silently cheered himself on, deciding to regain the initiative when they returned to their accommodation!
Under the cover of the night, the two stealthily evaded the patrolling teams in the city and returned to their previous residence. Despite the recent chaos in the shelter, the strictest checks were only in the North area. As for the South? Reinforcing the security checks for entry and exit during the day was enough. There weren’t enough personnel to patrol all the areas.
Silently infiltrating the neighborhood, the two climbed up to the fourth floor, with Yue Zheng using his enhanced hearing to confirm that there were only the sounds of the two children’s breathing in the room. Then he gently opened the door.
“Brush, lala,” the small tree shook, and all the roots and branches stood up in a defensive posture.
The twins rubbed their eyes and heard Xu Song say, “We’re back.”
“Daddy!” this was Mo Tianyou rushing into Yue Zheng’s arms.
“Mummy!” this was Mo Tiancheng rushing into Xu Song’s arms by mistake…
Wait, something doesn’t seem right?
Hahahaha “mummy!!”
Hehe, even the kids knows who’s “mummy”. Time for a new journey.
Mummy is declared! Just go with the flow Xu Song; doubting Yue Zheng’s wifeliness… hahahaha! Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️🌳
