Upon hearing Chu Jiangyue’s words, the expressions of the other people in the car grew solemn.
If Chu Jiangyue’s guess is correct, then outside the Jianglin Hotel, it’s completely uninhabitable for humans.
However, currently, the reach of Jianglin Hotel is limited to City B, and in L City, only the people at L City Base are aware of it.
"If this is true, there might not be many humans left worldwide."
Su Zhucheng remarked in a contemplative tone.
The people in the car fell silent because they knew that Su Zhucheng was telling the truth.
But their power is limited, so even if they know about it, there’s nothing they can do.
After all, they are humans, not gods.
"We must promote Jianglin Hotel more so that many people know about its existence."
There’s nothing else they can do, but when traveling, promoting Jianglin Hotel is still feasible.
"Do what we can and leave the rest to fate; we should focus on doing our own tasks well."
Shen Zhigui wanted to prevent Su Zhucheng and the others from falling into unnecessary emotional exhaustion.
＊
The sky grew darker as time passed, exacerbating people’s moods, with many showing signs of irritability.
"We need to find a place to stay overnight, and we can’t be outside."
Chu Jiangyue glanced at the already darkened sky, feeling that they hadn’t chosen a good date for this trip.
Fortunately, they were not yet on the highway; otherwise, finding shelter from the rain would not be easy.
"I’ll message Song Chengjun."
Regarding the possible rain, Shen Zhigui tended to trust Chu Jiangyue.
If Song Chengjun or Fang Chengwu don’t believe it, Shen Zhigui would suggest disbanding from the team.
No matter the situation, self-preservation is the priority; whether others believe or not is up to them.
Chu Jiangyue did not know Shen Zhigui’s thoughts, but even if he did, he would support Shen Zhigui’s decision.
If one doesn’t look out for themselves, they are doomed.
Shen Zhigui used the virtual screen on his Identity Card to message Song Chengjun about finding a place for the night. After seeing Song Chengjun’s reply, he didn’t bother further.
At present, there were no suitable dwellings nearby, so the convoy had to keep moving forward.
"Host, there’s a village a thousand meters ahead that should be inhabitable."
Little Fox was perched on Chu Jiangyue’s shoulder, scanning his surroundings at all times to the furthest extent.
Upon scanning the village, it promptly relayed the information to Chu Jiangyue.
With Little Fox’s information, Chu Jiangyue felt a bit relieved.
"Plan a route for me, and I’ll guide them."
"Understood, Host!"
Little Fox quickly mapped out the optimal route for Chu Jiangyue, thoughtfully marking it with a very noticeable long arrow.
Following the arrow leads right to the destination, making navigation a boon for those with poor sense of direction.
However, only Chu Jiangyue could see the long arrow, Shen Zhigui and the others couldn’t.
"I recall there’s a village up ahead; if you trust me, I can guide you there."
Numerous residents from L City Base were traveling along, so having a village would alleviate their accommodation concerns for the night.
"I trust you."
Shen Zhigui responded without hesitation.
"Boss Chu, just direct me, and I’ll drive according to your instructions."
Driver Xie Silin voiced his agreement as well.
No one else had any objections.
"I’ll message Song Chengjun to find out their original route. If it differs from ours, they can decide for themselves."
Shen Zhigui reopened the virtual screen and messaged Song Chengjun again.
Receiving consecutive messages from Shen Zhigui, Song Chengjun, initially calm, suddenly became tense.
Quickly messaging Shen Zhigui, he assured him he’d notify the others and urged them to follow.
Given the darkened sky, Song Chengjun now leaned towards believing the rain prediction.
Besides, whether it rains or not, they’d need to find a place to spend the night, so it won’t affect their schedule.
However, he had to relay this to Fang Chengwu.
As for what decision Fang Chengwu would ultimately make, that’s beyond Song Chengjun’s control.
Hopefully, Fang Chengwu considers the ordinary survivors from L City Base when deciding.
Among them, some are superpower users, but most are Level 1 Superpower Users, having limited self-defense capabilities during mass migrations.
These matters aren’t something Chu Jiangyue needs to worry about. Xie Silin has already driven the car to the head of the convoy, with Song Chengjun’s vehicle following closely behind.
Subsequently, it was Jin Churan’s group, Ling Feng’s team, and finally, some scattered vehicles not part of any Superpower Team.
"Drive forward first."
Currently, the road is a main path, and driving ahead doesn’t offer many side roads.
Looking ahead, you can’t see any homes; however, if Chu Jiangyue says there’s a village, Xie Silin follows the directions accordingly.
After driving approximately five hundred meters, Chu Jiangyue instructed Xie Silin to turn right.
The right side featured a cement road between the fields, just barely suitable for use as a two-lane road.
After navigating several twists and turns, a village finally came into view.
"There’s really a village here!"
Staring at the village before him, Xie Silin couldn’t believe his eyes.
Who would’ve known that amid the winding roads lay a village, like a hidden paradise?
If not for Chu Jiangyue’s guidance, Xie Silin felt he wouldn’t have found this place.
"I happened to come here once before; luckily, I didn’t forget."
Chu Jiangyue didn’t mention the navigation system.
After all, matters before the apocalypse can’t be verified by anyone.
Whether she had been there or not was known only to Chu Jiangyue.
Behind, upon seeing an actual village, Song Chengjun also breathed a sigh of relief.
Given that he persuaded Fang Chengwu, if they hadn’t found a village, he really wouldn’t know how to explain things.
Following Chu Jiangyue’s convoy, Fang Chengwu’s face visibly relaxed upon seeing the village.
Song Chengjun had informed him about the possibility of rain, something Fang Chengwu leaned towards believing as well.
With skies dark as they are, any logical person would recognize it as a sign of impending rain.
Yet the prolonged dry spell puzzled Fang Chengwu.
"Everyone, get off the vehicles, pick a house to settle in; we’re staying here tonight!"
Raising his voice, Song Chengjun ensured everyone heard him.
However, with Fang Chengwu’s group being quite large, even if Song Chengjun raised his voice, not everyone might hear him.
Nevertheless, Song Chengjun did his best; those were the residents from L City Base, and if he overstepped, Fang Chengwu might have grievances.
"Which house will Miss Chu pick?"
Seeing Chu Jiangyue step out of the car, Fang Chengwu approached, plastering a smile on his face.
