Chapter 753: Xi City, How Long Can It Last?

"Oooh~~~"

The moment Hou Junji finished saying the two words "set off," the cheers directly overwhelmed the sound of the waves.

There were even crazed survivors who stripped off their shirts, held them up, grabbed the car doors, and wildly waved their clothes in celebration.

The skinny, ribs-showing upper body made that survivor look quite comical.

A man with dirty, long hair stood on the roof of a car, holding up a half-can of beer and cheering.

A sexy woman with bright red lipstick directly tore off her pink underwear and tossed it into the sky.

Around her followed wave after wave of ghostly howls and wolf whistles.

The woman wasn't afraid at all, and threw a flirtatious wink at the people around her.

A seductive-looking man rolled his eyes at the woman, as if saying "I could do that too!"

Someone held up fireworks obtained from who-knows-where, lit them, and aimed them toward the beach.

A white-haired old person knelt on the ground, kissed the sand, and burst into tears.

A child of seven or eight, dressed in tattered clothes, kept kowtowing toward the direction of Rest Eternal Garden, crying their heart out.

The scene at this moment was like a whole picture of demons dancing wildly.

One after another, haphazardly modified migration vehicles drove out from their respective camps.

Some vehicles had enormous bull heads mounted on their front, looking quite terrifying.

Some vehicles had a massive, rusted scoop on the front, still stained with blood.

Some vehicles spewed thick black smoke.

And some vehicles looked like science-fiction creations that had come from a future world.

Only a scene of utter chaos remained in place.

It was already the apocalypse, so nobody brought up environmental protection anymore.

Regarding this, neither the people of the Silent Council nor the superhumans of the various convoys bothered to care about these things.

Because at this moment, they were also very happy.

Chen Ye sat inside the Monster Pickup Truck, which had already been connected to Sun Xixi's vehicle with a tow rope.

A majority of the flowers and plants in many parts of the truck's interior had been dealt with.

At least the interior looked much better than before.

He had no idea how Gong Yong had managed it before.

Sure enough, people, you still have to push them. Without pushing, you'll never know just how much strength this guy actually has.

A tentacle lay listlessly in the glove box.

Even after sensing Chen Ye's aura, this tentacle only trembled slightly, then showed no reaction at all.

During this period, while Gong Yong helped repair the Monster Pickup Truck, this Little Monster had also been listless and hadn't paid Gong Yong any attention at all. This was also the reason Gong Yong was able to smoothly repair the Monster Pickup Truck.

The vehicles of the Fair Convoy also started moving.

Leading the way was still Captain Chu's modified off-roader.

Then came Sun Xixi's vehicle. After Sun Xixi's car started, Chen Ye felt the Monster Pickup Truck tremble slightly, the tow rope pulled taut.

The Monster Pickup Truck was dragged along, closely following behind Sun Xixi's car.

Even though Sun Xixi had just slapped Chen Ye twice, when it came time to help, this woman didn't hesitate at all.

After that came Dantai Bie's car...

One vehicle after another drove out of this base where they had stayed for several months, amid the cheers.

The sound of the waves was exactly the same as when they had first arrived here.

That beach was quiet, somewhat unfamiliar.

Only the Rest Eternal Garden was not far away.

Some people would remain there forever.

Auntie Zhao looked at the seaside growing more distant behind the car, her hands trembling slightly, the hair on her head having turned much whiter in just a few short days.

In that sea, a rebellious teenager would never come back.

"My Child, my My Child..."

Chu Che looked at the wooden gates of Rest Eternal Garden in the rearview mirror and remained silent.

His heart was also heavy.

This time, the Fair Convoy had narrowly escaped another disaster.

The entire convoy, aside from losing Ding Dong as a fighting force, at least everyone was still alive.

But... in such an apocalypse, who could guarantee that the convoy's people would always remain safe?

Perhaps next time, the convoy would be like the Skeleton Convoy, leaving behind nothing but a name.

Just like this time, the convoy had a brush with death, nearly being completely wiped out.

But would such good luck really last forever?

Impossible...

Chu Che had already prepared himself. Perhaps one day, the familiar faces in the convoy would never be seen again.

"Snap!"

Chen Ye held the steering wheel with one hand and used the other to light a Ta cigarettes at the corner of his mouth.

Recently, quite a few cigarettes had been scavenged from convenience stores and supermarkets in Xi City.

For a long time to come, there would be no need to worry about cigarette supplies.

Amidst the swirling Smoke Breath, Chen Ye exhaled the Smoke Breath and let out a long sigh.

Xi City?

Not bad, at least the scenery was decent.

Many people in the convoy were very optimistic about living in Xi City.

But Chen Ye didn't share this view.

With so many people living in Xi City, how could they possibly not leak any presence at all?

You had to know, some Anomalies had intelligence not much lower than that of humans.

Even the tenth-ranked Ghost-Suppressing Tower wouldn't be enough.

If the Ghost-Suppressing Tower were truly so useful, then why did Yunzhong ultimately become a no-man's land?

In Chen Ye's view, Xi City was nothing more than a temporary stopping point.

He didn't know how long Xi City could be preserved. A week? A month? Or perhaps a year?

Chen Ye estimated in his heart.

Xi City here, at most could last half a year, or shorter, maybe three months.

This time was no exception.

He still needed to make plans early.

Once something changed in Xi City, at the very least he had to ensure the convoy was the first to escape.

By then, powerful Anomalies would definitely discover this place.

At that time, Xi City would become another Oasis.

It was just that this pessimistic thought, Chen Ye told no one.

Of course, he wasn't the only one thinking this way.

It was just that everyone also didn't voice this thought aloud.

After all, even if they could only stay in Xi City for three months, that was still good.

The migration life was truly too bitter.

The migration life left humanity not even a chance to catch their breath.

Being able to let everyone rest a little was also extremely good.

Of course, the ones holding the opposite opinion from Chen Ye were precisely the Silent Council, at least on the surface.

The people of the Silent Council seemed extremely confident in Xi City.

Hou Junji told everyone about the matter of the Sky Whale's visitor, Wei Butong.

The matter of Wei Butong being a dual Sequence genius superhuman immediately attracted the attention of quite a few people at the base.

Even when this guy Wei Butong wandered around the base these past two days, the envious gazes cast by quite a few survivors made Wei Butong feel extremely gratified.

Some even rushed over to ask Wei Butong for his autograph.

And there was also Wei Butong's Fat Pufferfish.

By this time, it had recovered about the same.

Every day it wobbled along behind Wei Butong.

This Fat Pufferfish also attracted the gazes of quite a few girls at the base, and to a certain extent, was even more popular than Wei Butong.

This made Wei Butong quite displeased.

Of course, after Chen Ye saw that the Fat Pufferfish was fine, he planned to have Wei Butong help treat the little monster in the car.

It was just that this guy had been elusive recently, and coupled with the fact that there had been far too many things going on these past few days, it had been delayed all along.

Once they arrived in Xi City, Chen Ye planned to grab this guy and have him treat the little monster.

Chen Ye had also tried feeding the little monster those little pills that Wei Butong had used to treat Sun Xixi.

The result was that it had no effect at all.

Although this guy Wei Butong was a dual Sequence superhuman, he was a dual Support Sequence, and his combat ability wasn't strong.

Yet he always had a personality of wanting to show off in front of others.

According to what Hou Junji said in private, back when this guy was on the Sky Whale, he had tried every possible means to swap himself a powerful Combat Sequence.

Toward the people who rushed over to ask for his autograph, Wei Butong was even more unable to resist.

He even felt a kind of floating, immortal feeling.

This feeling of being surrounded and clustered around by the crowd gave Wei Butong's vanity an enormous satisfaction.

Even every time he saw Chen Ye, this guy Wei Butong had learned to look at people down his nose.

The current Wei Butong had much, much less jealousy toward Chen Ye.

In this Young Master Wei's heart, a small fry like Chen Ye was no longer worth mentioning.

To describe it in one simple sentence, Young Master Wei had gotten carried away.

Wei Butong even had a feeling of being so happy he'd forgotten to go home.

He felt the base here was even more comfortable than the Sky Whale.

And another matter that greatly boosted everyone's confidence was the Ghost-Suppressing Tower.

As for the existence of the Ghost-Suppressing Tower, some people had seen that final battle that day, while others were completely unaware of it.

But the people of the Silent Council wouldn't choose to keep their mouths shut.

They directly brought this matter out into the open, and publicized it everywhere.

When they learned that there was such a thing as the Ghost-Suppressing Tower, a tenth-ranked Wonder, the superhumans' confidence in Xi City also increased greatly.

Regarding this, the survivors were also ecstatic.

They felt that with a Wonder like the Ghost-Suppressing Tower present, Xi City would definitely be able to exist for a long time.

"We're here, we've arrived!"
