With Lu Bu'er's abilities, this was nothing.
Then later on, the girl died.
She died suddenly.
Died in an attack by the Desolate God.
Lu Bu'er cried, too.
It was the first time he had ever shed tears in his life.
He buried the girl, left the city, and continued north.
He Sai was still by his side.
By the time they reached the Capital City, Lu Bu'er had met a man.
A man who loved to smoke a lot, with a face as hard as stone and always dressed in a black trench coat. He was a lone wanderer in the apocalypse, rumored to have come from the south.
The man's name was Long Que. He was looking for his sister.
Long Que's sister, named Long Ling, had participated in a gene optimization project in San Francisco, USA, years ago. After breaking from her cocoon during the chaos, she went missing, and her fate remained unknown.
Lu Bu'er was one of the few people who could get along with Long Que and even learned to smoke because of him.
