SRTT Chapter 58.3

Paradise Xihai City (3)

Ruan Ning didn’t try to be fancy either. She just fired a shot into the air and then pointed the gun at them.

The crowd dispersed.

Ruan Cifeng drove past them.

Ruan Ning put away her gun and frowned, saying, “This won’t work. We can’t let them find us first, while we are unprepared.”

As she spoke, she took out a drone from space: “This one flies higher, so it won’t make too much noise, right?”

“No, it’s so dark, how can we see it if it flies so high?”

“Let’s just let it go.”

With drones leading the way, they could check in advance to see if there were any ambushes.

After driving for four days, the migrating crowd began to gather.

These people should all be starting from nearby and want to go to the beach.

With so many people, it was impossible to drive anymore.

Ruan Ning took out a paper map from space: “There are only 300 kilometers left.”

Zhou Sulan estimated: “It will take about ten days to walk, right?”

Ruan Ning frowned: “Why don’t we get off the highway? There shouldn’t be anyone on the country road, so we can continue driving.”

Ruan Cifeng: “No, the rural road has probably been washed away a long time ago.”

Ruan Ning: “Then, let’s take the provincial road. Even if we are seen by others, our car will pass by quickly.”

Ruan Cifeng: “Okay.”

The three of them got off the highway according to the map and turned to the provincial road.

Compared to highways, very few people were willing to take provincial roads, after all, provincial roads might require a longer detour.

Another advantage of the provincial road was that there were houses around it, so they could always find a place to shelter from the sun.

The further south they go, the fewer local people there are. There may even be ten houses completely empty, with no one living there.

The rainstorm was too severe for them. Even if they were not destroyed by the rainstorm, they would flee further south in the extreme cold. Now they had basically fled.

The tires of Wuling Hongguang had worn out long ago, and the car even had to be replaced three times.

So, three days later, when they were about to enter the provincial capital where Xihai City was located, the provincial road ahead was completely dug up.

This was dug out by humans.

After getting out of the car, Ruan Ning put it into space: “It looks like we have entered someone else’s sphere of influence.”

The three of them could only go back to the highway and see the shocking scene through the night vision binoculars.

The highway was full of people in rags.

There may be more than 10,000 people.

These people traveled through mountains and rivers and went through untold hardships to find a paradise with water, but they were stopped there.

And a little ahead, someone arranged a checkpoint.

The three of them took down their binoculars and looked at each other. Ruan Cifeng said, “Let’s go ask around.”

Ruan Ning and her parents continued to move forward and came into the crowd.

After squeezing a distance forward, Ruan Cifeng found that many people were stranded in the same place, and some even set up tents on the side of the road.

He thought for a moment and asked a middle-aged man sitting on the ground: “Brother, what’s going on here? Why are there so many people?”

The man ignored him.

Ruan Cifeng asked another person, but that person still ignored him.

They were too lazy to even say no.

Ruan Cifeng had no choice but to secretly give the first person half a compressed biscuit: “Brother, what’s going on?”

The man then looked at Ruan Cifeng and said in a hoarse and unpleasant voice: “Do you want to go to the beach too?”

Ruan Cifeng nodded.

“Forget it. You can’t go. The locals have blocked all the roads.”

“There is only one way to get into the city. Each person has to pay for 10 catties of compressed biscuits.”

Ruan Cifeng was surprised: “It’s so expensive!”

“Is there still water in the provincial capital?”

“The sea is all water.” The man said.

“But you can’t drink seawater. You have to find a way to filter it yourself.”

Ruan Cifeng turned and asked: “Who is blocking this place?”

The man refused to speak again.
