Zuo Mingdong retracted his gaze and nodded slightly at Du Yue. You guys go ahead. Be careful!
Dont worry!
They had already said goodbye once, so there was nothing else to say now. After saying these words, Du Yue and the other two directly got into the car. He Xing sat in the drivers seat and turned the car around, bypa.s.sing the corpses and cars in front. Xia Ju and Du Yue sat at the back and looked out of the window. They saw Zuo Mingdong still standing there motionlessly, watching them leave.
Xia Ju stared at him for a long time until she could no longer see him. She then retracted her gaze. Why is he standing there without moving?
Maybe he wants to see us go far away! After Du Yue answered, Xia Ju nodded thoughtfully.
Du Yue did not know what Xia Ju was thinking, but she did not ask further. She just said, The rest of the journey will be very boring. Why dont you take out 121 and 99 to play with?
Xia Jus face seemed to say lame! Isnt it nice to watch TV shows? Why would I listen to the two of them? Although she was confused, she still took out 121 and 99. As long as it was not turned on, 99 would be soaked in the brain-boosting liquid.
It had soaked in it for a long time, but it did not have any effect. Soon, the mechanical voices of 121 and 99 sounded in the car. After getting used to it, not only did they find them noisy, but they even found them cute. With the two of them chattering non-stop, the quiet car suddenly became much livelier. The dejection they had felt from the parting naturally disappeared.
He Xing drove very slowly and was not in a hurry. Their three meals a day were settled in the car, and at night, they would find an empty s.p.a.ce to take out the RV to sleep. If it was not for the thick fog that shrouded the surroundings and prevented them from seeing any beautiful scenery, it would have felt like a self-driving tour.
Du Yue knew that they had pa.s.sed by many beautiful sceneries along the way, but she could only imagine them. Before the apocalypse, she always felt that she was still young and had a lot of time to squander. Sooner or later, she would have the opportunity to travel all over the country. However, things did not go according to her wishes. Now, she indeed had a lot of time to squander, but she could not even see the road under her feet clearly, let alone the beautiful rivers and mountains of her motherland. The farther north they went, the wider the road became and the fewer ruins there were. After all, the north was spa.r.s.ely populated, and they were taking roads far away from the city. It was normal for there to be few buildings.
Along the way, they did not see any unusual scenery, nor did they encounter a living creature. Fortunately, they did not have to worry about food and drink, nor did they lack fun. The three of them took turns driving, so they did not feel tired or bored.
A few days pa.s.sed like this. Xia Ju looked at the unchanging road outside and finally could not help but ask Du Yue, When will we reach our destination?
Du Yue was originally watching a doc.u.mentary. When she heard Xia Jus question, she looked up at her. Destination? 1 havent thought of where were going. Lets go around and see. If you find a place you like, we can stop and stay for a while.
As soon as Du Yue finished speaking, Xia Ju suddenly perked up. Really?
Of course, Du Yue replied and reacted.
You have something you like, huh?
Xia Ju handed the tablet in her hand to Du Yue. I want to go to see this prairie, okay?
Du Yues gaze fell on the screen. It was playing a small video. In the video, there was an endless gra.s.sland, a blue sky, large white clouds, a brightly colored cosmos, and handsome men and women galloping on horses. Just looking at the bright smiles on their faces made people feel good.
Not to mention Xia Ju, even Du Yue could not help but be moved by the scene. However, this was a video from before the apocalypse! Although Du Yue had never been to the prairie, she was sure that it would not be like what was in the video.
However, when she saw Xia Jus pitiful big eyes, she could not help but nod. Alright, lets go over and take a look!
They had already been on the road for several days. In addition, the car was faster than usual. After a few days of non-stop driving, they directly entered the Northern Frontier. The Northern Frontier was not very high above sea level, and Du Yue and the other two had good physiques. They did not need to get used to it and just drove straight ahead. After deciding to go to the Northern Frontier, Du Yue and He Xing discussed the route they were going to take and also confirmed their destinationthe Hulun Prairie..
