Although they knew these locations might be fake, they could at least serve as a reference, so the two of them still took the map back.
Apart from the map, what they brought back was insecticide.
Not only was the trunk of the electric vehicle filled to the brim, but Liu Ruyan was also carrying a full load in her hands.
With so much insecticide, it would be enough for the two of them to use for a long time.
Unlike others who need to prepare equipment before setting off, after returning home, Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan had a good rest for a day. Early the next morning, they directly drove Zhang Yuan's car towards the base entrance.
With Kong Rui's help, the two successfully left the base.
After leaving the base, the vehicle speed could be increased slightly.
It wasn't because the road outside was clearer to see, but because there weren't as many people outside the base as inside. Driving a bit faster wouldn't cause any problems.
However, the bugs outside the base hadn't been cleared and had multiplied to a disastrous extent.
The wheels rolled over the bugs, constantly making popping sounds.
Just hearing this sound, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but visualize the scene in her mind.
Fortunately, she was already used to it. Otherwise, she would surely get goosebumps all over.
Zhang Yuan was driving, and Liu Ruyan was holding the map in her hand. "Which place shall we go to first?"
Zhang Yuan smiled. "Let's go to the nearest one first!"
The two had seriously discussed that these locations might not all be false.
Perhaps the real location was hidden among them.
Anyway, whether it was true or false, it wouldn't hurt to go and take a look.
The base was dozens of kilometers away from Rehe City.
Although Zhang Yuan drove a bit faster than in the base, it was only relatively speaking.
With the thick fog, Zhang Yuan didn't dare to drive too fast.
So, it took them a whole day to cover these dozens of kilometers.
At noon, they stopped on the way and had lunch in the car.
In the afternoon, Liu Ruyan took over the driving.
By the time they approached the urban area, it was already around five or six o'clock in the afternoon.
This time wasn't too late, but due to the thick fog, the already unclear visibility became even worse, and now they could hardly see anything.
Liu Ruyan stopped the car. "I'll get out and clear away the obstacles in front."
Due to the earthquake, the high - rise buildings in the city had collapsed. The road was bumpy from being smashed, and there were various bricks and stones piled up.
Last time they came to the urban area, they were blocked by these things.
At that time, because there were people like Kong Rui around, Liu Ruyan didn't want to take action.
But now that there were only the two of them, they naturally had no concerns.
Hearing that Liu Ruyan was going to get out of the car, Zhang Yuan immediately said, "I'll go down with you."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan didn't refuse.
They were unfamiliar with the situation in the city, and they didn't know if enemies would suddenly appear in the thick fog. Staying together all the time could avoid many unexpected situations.
When Liu Ruyan put things into the space, as long as the things her hand touched were connected, she could put them all into the space.
So, as long as Liu Ruyan squatted down and touched one brick, she could put all the things on the ground into the space.
Of course, Liu Ruyan didn't keep these things because they were useless.
After clearing the road, Liu Ruyan directly threw these bricks and cement to both sides of the road.
As for the bugs that were put in together, they were naturally all dead and were also thrown to the roadside.
The two got back into the car, and this time Zhang Yuan drove.
The car moved forward slowly, and it took them over half an hour to reach the marked point closest to them.
This place was supposed to be an office building, but now it had completely collapsed and was unrecognizable.
Liu Ruyan shone a strong flashlight ahead, but she could only see a small distance.
Searching for the entrance to the underground city in such a ruin was indeed a difficult task.
Just as Liu Ruyan was about to speak, she saw a black shadow flash by in the thick fog ahead.
The speed of the black shadow was so fast that even though Liu Ruyan saw it, she still doubted whether what she saw was real.
But when Liu Ruyan turned to look at Zhang Yuan and saw Zhang Yuan nodding at her, she knew she hadn't been seeing things.
"Shall we chase after it and take a look?" Liu Ruyan asked.
"Okay!"
The two reached an agreement and directly chased in the direction where the black shadow disappeared.
Walking in the ruins was not an easy task, not to mention that their vision was blocked, so their speed naturally couldn't be increased.
But the two of them were not the type to give up easily. Even though the road was difficult, they still didn't give up.
The person in front apparently didn't expect them to chase after him. He had originally slowed down, but after being chased, he started to speed up again.
People living in the ruins naturally knew the terrain here better than Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan and were also faster.
Zhang Yuan reached out and grabbed Liu Ruyan. "Forget it. Don't chase anymore."
Liu Ruyan obediently stopped.
She also knew that they were not familiar with the situation in the city, and chasing like this wouldn't be beneficial to them.
The two turned around and slowly walked back along the way they came.
In a place where the two of them couldn't see, the black shadow that had appeared before stood still, looking at the two people's departing figures with some regret.
Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan returned to the car. First, they removed the bugs from the car door, and then they opened the door and got in.
It was already getting late, and they decided to find a place to rest first and deal with the rest of the things tomorrow.
Camping was out of the question because there were bugs everywhere outside.
After finding a suitable place, Liu Ruyan directly put this car into the space and then took out a recreational vehicle (RV) from the space.
This was the first time they used the RV since they bought it.
Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan sprayed insecticide outside the RV and also on the ground around the RV, and scattered insect powder.
After finishing all this, they got into the RV and closed the door.
This RV was not small. It had a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom where they could take a bath and do laundry, and a bedroom.
Driving such an RV was a bit fuel - consuming, but it could be said to be very comfortable as a movable home.
Anyway, Liu Ruyan had the space.
When driving, they could choose a more fuel - efficient vehicle.
When it was time to rest, they would take out the RV.
Of course, all this was based on the premise that there were only the two of them.
If there were people traveling with them, they couldn't do this.
This was also the reason why they refused to act with Kong Rui's people.
The two of them went to the bathroom to take a simple shower, changed their clothes, and then sat in the living room to have dinner together.
The food was taken directly from the space, ready - made. After eating, they put away the plates and bowls and could directly rest.
After all, they were away from home. Although the RV was quite sturdy, the two of them still decided to take turns keeping watch.
