Chapter 1490 J City Welcomes You
The vehicle drove hard on the bumpy road for a whole day, and the wheels made dull sounds as they rolled over potholes.
The raised dust spread wildly behind me, like the haze of doomsday that could not be dispelled no matter what.
Outside the car window, desolate scenes flashed by like slides. On the charred land, broken walls swayed in the wind, revealing endless desolation.
Lu Jingcheng held the steering wheel steadily. His knuckles turned slightly white due to the long hours of driving, and his arms ached, but his eyes were always fixed firmly ahead, never shifting for a moment.
There was a tenacity in his eyes, like a beacon in the darkness of the end of the world.
Li Luo sat in the passenger seat, leaning forward slightly. Her eyes moved back and forth between the desolate scenery outside the car window and the dashboard, always paying attention to the movements around her.
The weapon in her hand rested casually on her legs, flashing coldly in the dim light, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.
The two of them have a tacit understanding and can understand each other's intentions with just a glance, without the need for too much verbal communication.
Whenever a vehicle slowly passed by a shadow, Lu Jingcheng's brows would wrinkle slightly without being noticed. His eyes instantly became sharper, staring at the shadow closely, as if he wanted to see through it.
Upon seeing this, Li Luo understood what was going on and immediately tightened his weapon in his hand. The muscles in his arms tensed and he scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, not missing any suspicious spots.
When Li Luo keenly detects unusual noises, she will gently pat the seat. This subtle movement is like a silent signal.
After receiving the signal, Lu Jingcheng will quietly reduce the speed of the car. Every action is steady and quick, so that the vehicle is ready to respond at any time.
Their coordination is as precise as gears; every look and every movement conveys rich information.
We drove steadily for a distance, and in front of this road shrouded in the haze of doomsday, a dilapidated road sign quietly appeared.
It stands alone on the roadside, ruthlessly eroded by wind and rain, its surface covered with mottled marks, like an old man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life, silently telling stories of the past.
As the vehicle gradually approached, the words "J City Welcomes You" on the road sign became faintly visible, like a ray of light in the darkness.
The moment we saw the road sign, the atmosphere in the tense carriage, which had been so quiet that only the sound of the engine and breathing could be heard, instantly relaxed and became lively.
The corners of Lu Jingcheng's tense mouth slightly lifted up, with a smile of relief, he turned to look at Li Luo, his voice full of relief: "We have arrived in J City."
Li Luo's eyes flashed with light, and he smiled back at him. The fatigue in his eyes seemed to have eased a lot at this moment, and he said with emotion:
"Yes, this journey was not easy, but fortunately we arrived safely."
"We're finally here. My butt is numb from sitting so long. Hurry, I want to get off the car and move around." Shi Xinxin said impatiently, her voice filled with joy of relief.
Chu Yuanqing, who was sitting next to her, asked with a worried look on his face:
"Where is the numbness? Can I rub it for you?"
Shi Xinxin's face instantly turned red. She punched Chu Yuanqing and said coquettishly:
"What are you talking about? Get out of the way!"
Chu Yuanqing then realized that his words were inappropriate. He scratched his head awkwardly, a blush appearing on his face.
A burst of lighthearted laughter rang out in the car, dispelling the fatigue and tension of the past few days.
Li Luo tilted his head slightly, looked at Lu Jingcheng, raised the corner of his mouth, and said softly:
"There doesn't seem to be any danger ahead. We can keep moving forward and find a safe place to set up camp."
Lu Jingcheng nodded and responded:
"Okay, I think the open space in front is suitable."
The two had a brief exchange, but it was full of trust and tacit understanding.
At the same time, inside the armored vehicle at the rear.
Zhou Mei slumped in her seat, her spine seemed to suddenly lose support, and her whole body relaxed.
She tilted her head back, took a long breath, and stretched slowly. Her joints made a "cracking" sound from sitting for a long time.
"Finally I can take a break. This day feels longer than a year. If I sit any longer, I'll fall apart."
Zhou Mei rubbed her sore neck, her face full of fatigue.
