Chapter 1408 Falling into memories

Jinling Base, North Gate.

The two armored vehicles seemed like awakened steel beasts. Their engines emitted low roars and sped all the way from the parking lot of the base, raising clouds of dust, until they slowly stopped in front of the city gate.

Li Luo and Shi Xinxin stood quietly where they were, while their relatives and friends were filled with worry and reluctance. They surrounded them, talking in a flurry about various matters. The scene was filled with warmth and concern.

Until the armored vehicle stopped steadily, Li Luo and Shi Xinxin looked at each other, and their eyes conveyed determination.

Then, they looked around at their relatives and friends, their eyes filled with gratitude and attachment.

"Everyone, go back quickly and take care!" Li Luo said softly, his voice was soft but full of determination.

After saying that, the two men faced the reluctant gazes of the crowd, turned around and boarded the first armored vehicle. Their movements were quick and decisive, and the car door was then closed, separating the inside and outside into two worlds.

Lu Jingcheng sat steadily in the driver's seat, his expression solemn.

But when he looked at Li Luo, his coldness turned into gentleness like water, and his eyes were full of closeness and trust.

He frowned slightly and said in a slightly inquiring tone:

"This time we chose a shortcut that can save time. But it is bound to be full of dangers and risks. However, there is no need to worry too much. With the overall strength of our team, we will definitely be able to successfully break through. However, we predict that there will be a lot of zombies rampant on this route, but from another perspective, it also means that we have more opportunities to obtain crystal cores."

Li Luo sat in the co-pilot seat, listening quietly.

When she heard about the crystal core, her bright eyes instantly flashed with a fiery light of excitement:

"That's great. I was just worried about having no place to collect crystal cores. I'm only one step away from upgrading, and I need crystal cores urgently. I have to seize the opportunity this time."

As the two talked, the gate of the Jinling base slowly opened. The heavy metal door was like a weathered old man, with a hint of hesitation and reluctance, but firmly opening the curtain for their adventure.

The two armored vehicles started slowly, and the engines made a low roar, as if declaring their determination to this land.

They gradually drove out of the base, their bodies flashing a cold metallic luster under the lights, and headed resolutely towards the doomsday road full of unknowns and dangers.

The dust raised by the wheels spread in the air, as if it was a veil to bid farewell to them.

The crowd who were seeing them off were like frozen statues, standing still, their eyes fixed on the departing convoy, their eyes full of concern, expectation and blessings.

Their lips trembled slightly, and they were silently reciting in their hearts:

"You must take care of yourself!"

That silent prayer seemed to cross thousands of mountains and rivers and transform into an invisible force, protecting the people on the car from the darkness and danger in their journey to the end of the world.

Inside the leading armored vehicle.

Li Luo leaned slightly sideways and leaned his head against the car window.

The scenes outside the car window kept flashing by like slides. Her eyes seemed to penetrate the glass to capture those fleeting images, and her thoughts were inadvertently carried away quietly.

The outline of City B, the destination of this mission, began to emerge in her mind.

To Li Luo, City B is like a melody buried deep in his heart. It has a sense of strangeness caused by the passage of time, but also a familiar charm left by a past encounter.

That’s right, Li Luo had been to City B with her good friend Shi Xinxin.

That year, it was the summer vacation after the college entrance examination. Li Luo and Shi Xinxin, the two girls who had just stepped out of high school, felt relieved, as if a taut spring had suddenly rebounded, and they were filled with the joy of regaining freedom.

After years of studying and preparing for exams, the pressure was like a heavy mountain. Now that it has been lifted, they are filled with the desire to reward themselves and have a great time.

It seems that only a grand celebration can comfort those youthful years filled with test papers and exercises.

As young adults, they were full of curiosity about the vast world outside.

Without the pressure of schoolwork and the nagging of parents, they seem to have gained unprecedented freedom.

So, they couldn't wait to plan their journey, like two birds breaking free from a cage, full of desire to explore the outside world.

The two of them got together and excitedly discussed their travel destination.

From sunny seaside resorts to poetic ancient towns deep in the mountains, each place has its own unique charm, which makes them dazzled.

But in the end, they set their sights on the capital, City B.

It was a place they had read about in textbooks and seen on TV countless times.

There is a profound historical and cultural heritage there. The solemn ancient buildings seem to be telling the glory of the past, the mysterious ancient palaces seem to hide countless unknown stories, and the majestic Great Wall entrenched between the mountains is like a huge magnet, deeply attracting them.

This is not just a simple trip, but also a commemoration of their coming of age, a wonderful adventure that belongs only to the two of them.

So, with excitement and anticipation, they embarked on the journey to City B without hesitation, ready to experience for themselves the prosperous city that had always existed only in their imagination.

When they first arrived in City B, the two young girls felt as if they had stepped into a prosperous world where fantasy and reality were intertwined.

The magnificent scene that came towards them like a surging tide instantly wrapped them tightly in it, turning it into a luxurious feast for the eyes and the soul.

The towering skyscrapers are like a vast, majestic and cold steel forest, with each building standing shoulder to shoulder and proudly standing above the city.

The rooftop that reaches into the sky seems to be competing silently with the vast sky, competing to see who is the true master of the heights.

The streets are crowded with cars and people, like long, surging rivers that never stop flowing.

Vehicles of all kinds shuttled back and forth, and the roar of their engines rose and fell, intertwining with each other, together playing a passionate and vibrant modern urban symphony, highlighting the city's vigorous pulse.

Shops are densely packed together on both sides of the street.

The dazzling array of merchandise in the store, illuminated by the bright lights, exudes a charming and alluring luster, just like the twinkling and swaying stars in the night sky, bright and dazzling, easily attracting the attention of passers-by, as if by magic.

The crowd was bustling and jostling each other, and laughter was like lively notes, happily jumping and rippling in every inch of the air.

Every corner is filled and infected by this rich vitality and vigor, making the city seem like a living organism.
