The next part of the journey was daunting but not dangerous. The cannon in the distance bloomed with blazing white light.
On the other side of the river, at the foot of the bridge, there was a shelter gate. However, at this time, the sea beast tide was surging. Even if most of the sea beasts were attracted by the defense base on the east side, the city guards on the city wall only needed to operate the machine gun and shoot sporadic sea beasts. For safety, the entire city gate was tightly closed, and it was impossible to open it at this time.
Tang Yu understood this and drove around the west side, around the city wall.
Xiawan Town wasn't big, but the Luoxia Shelter expanded several times on the foundation of Xiawan Town. The towering city wall stretched endlessly.
As the vehicle moved forward, the sea beasts encountered had become fewer and fewer. Even the thunderous sound of cannon fire gradually faded away.
Finally, a city gate appeared in front of them. The big gate was closed, and only the lower one was open, a small gate that allowed two vehicles to pass side by side. With the information Shay had inquired, Tang Yu knew this city gate was the West Gate, one of the three west gates.
Just from the number of city gates, the size of the Luoxia Shelter was indeed much larger than Lindong.
Several hunters armed with guns stood at the city gate, staring at the passersby with awe-inspiring eyes. Some city guards could also be seen on the city wall, patrolling and alert. Tang Yu noticed that there weren't many of them. Maybe they were transferred to the south for defense.
After a simple registration, everyone received a pass. This thing symbolized personal identity and could be shown to the city guards when they went out or returned. It could save the time of registration.
Not every survivor could get it. In the eyes of the city guards, almost everyone in their team had the strength of a Fourth Awakening Stage hunter, so they issued such a pass in advance. If it was an ordinary survivor, they would need to explain the reason and then apply to the relevant department, which was quite troublesome.
Ten minutes later, several Floating Chariots slowly drove into the Luoxia Shelter.
The main road was four-lane, relatively wide, and usually allowed survivors to drive through, which was better than Lindong.
Tang Yu guessed that maybe it was because of the expensive gasoline. If it wasn't necessary, normal people wouldn't drive in the shelter. So the road was particularly smooth, even the traffic limit was waived.
Driving straight to a busy street, they got out of the car and sat down in a simple teahouse.
There was an awning over their heads to block out the scorching sun.
There were a lot of survivors on the street. Some were busy walking by, some were shouting, it was abnormally noisy.
Most of them were wearing clothes that had been washed white. Because of the hot weather, many people rolled up their sleeves, sweating profusely. But perhaps it was because of the seafood here, these ordinary survivors were not as thin as imagined.
A light laughter came from not far away.
A child with a tender face was holding his parents' hands, a smile on his face as he jumped up and down.
For a moment, Tang Yu was in a trance, as if through the faded photo, he saw his childhood, the harmonious days of his family of three.
His gaze wandered.
There was silence.
He was looking forward to it.
He was worried.
He was also terrified.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and looked at the two sisters with light purple short hair sitting nearby. He said, "Let's do the divination …"
The Astrologer, the Star Spirit, and the Star Moon.
The Luoxia Shelter was huge, with more than two million survivors. It was difficult to find someone.
Tang Yu had long understood this. After the SMS was cut off, there was no address or other contact information. Even if it was the government, it would take a lot of manpower to find it.
Fortunately …
One of the purple-haired girls raised her small hand, "Captain, I'll do it. I'm good at this. I need a strand of your hair as a medium."
She stood up and trotted over.
Her footsteps were brisk.
All of a sudden, the purple-haired girl seemed to have stepped on something. Her body leaned forward and there was an obvious look of panic on her face. Her hands unconsciously grabbed to her left and right, and finally … with a plop, she fell face first onto the ground.
She quickly stood up with her arms and skillfully patted the dust on her clothes. She cast a "Dust Removal Technique" on her face as if nothing happened.
Tang Yu's face twitched.
He felt pain.
The two purple-haired girls looked almost the same. Their voices were almost the same. Usually, he couldn't tell them apart. But now, through this strange fall, Tang Yu recognized that the one in front of him was his sister, Moon. After all, his sister wouldn't fall on the ground.
With such an interruption, the pressure in his heart dissipated a lot. He stretched out a finger around his hair and pulled it out.
It hurt a little. Probably because after the evolution of life, his hair was a lot denser. It's impossible to go bald in the future.
Moon took the hair and pinched it on her fingertips. She took out a ring with several different colors of crystal products. It was like a key ring with a key, but much bigger. The ring was about the size of a palm.
These crystal products were long, star-shaped, animal-shaped, and so on. She tied her hair to one of the crystal products, closed her eyes, and chanted.
Faintly, the crystal products emitted a faint light. Several crystal products shook and collided with each other, making a crisp sound.
Under Tang Yu's nervous gaze, Moon opened her eyes, the corner of her mouth raised into a bright smile, "Captain, uncle and auntie are safe. Don't worry. I've also divined the location of their residence …"
She looked like she was about to praise me.
… …
… …
West No. 5 Residential District.
These were all newly built buildings after the doomsday. They were like rectangular blocks, standing on this piece of land. They had gray walls, the same height, and the same layout. Even the streets in the district were all the same, and they were all the same.
It gave people a depressed feeling.
Tang Yu arrived at Building 29. Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, he paused and walked up the stairs.
"0327,0327 …" He murmured.
The corridor was long and narrow without light. On both sides were the same wooden doors with rough workmanship and door numbers.
Finally, Tang Yu arrived in front of the wooden door with the number 0327. He stretched out his hand, paused in front of the door, and knocked heavily.
Knock, knock.
"Who is it?" A familiar voice came from inside the door.
Tang Yu's eyes were wet.
"Who is it?"
The voice urged.
Tang Yu opened his mouth, his throat choked and squirmed for a few seconds before spitting out a word, "Mom –"
The room suddenly became quiet. Not long after, the wooden door was hurriedly opened, revealing a pleasantly surprised and incredulous face.
Time was merciless. Wrinkles were carved on the corners of her eyes, gray hair on the temples, and even her back became a little hunched.
Unknowingly.
