Professor Feng nodded excitedly, saying, “We’re all fine. Although we were swept away by the tornado, we managed to find our way back. The good thing is that we didn’t drift too far. We woke up and returned. However, Da Fei and Miss Bai are missing. We scoured almost all of An Town, but we couldn’t find them.”
Ji Zan nodded and comforted Professor Feng, “I already know about that. Don’t worry, they are safe and still alive.”
Unaware of Ji Zan’s precognitive ability, Professor Feng couldn’t help but ask, “So where are they? We have to find them. We’ve combed through An Town, but we couldn’t find any trace of them. Could they be injured?”
Hearing this, Ji Zan furrowed his brow, “They aren’t injured, but I don’t know their exact location. It’s highly likely they are not in An Town. We should find a resting place first and then strategize.”
MO Cheng immediately ran over, saying, “This tornado was indeed massive and destructive, almost demolishing all the buildings in An Town. We scoured the entire town, but there’s no place suitable for rest. This half-platform is the best option for now.”
Fu Shinan walked over, “Then let’s return to the storage warehouse.”
Xia Dong shook her head, “The storage warehouse is full of water and moldy. It’s not suitable for habitation.”
Fu Shinan smiled at Sun Han, “Don’t worry, we have a fire-based ability user among us. A little burning and roasting, and we’ll get rid of all the bacteria.”
Sun Han smacked his head, “You’re right! I completely forgot about that. Having you back, Fu Sister, is a big relief. You think faster than the rest of us. If we had known, we wouldn’t have needed the platform.”
Man Yu, propping up her waist, said, “Since it’s decided, let’s get back quickly. This platform is drafty, and I can’t sleep here. By the way, do you have any food in your car? We haven’t eaten or drunk anything for three days, and we’re practically withering away.”
Fu Shinan smirked, “We’ve got enough to fill your stomach.”
With the news of food in the car, everyone’s eyes lit up, their spirits reinvigorated. Without further delay, they boarded the car and returned to the storage warehouse. The women started a fire to prepare a meal while the men collected water and dried supplies inside.
Ji Zan took MO Cheng with him to explore potential living places, in case they found somewhere more suitable after everyone had eaten and regained their strength.
Everyone played their part, bustling with life and energy.
An hour later, after Zhang Xiaojuan and the others had cooked the meal, Xia
Dong and Sun Han had also prepared the water. All that remained was for Sun Han to use his fire abilities to roast the food. Ji Zan and MO Cheng returned.
As everyone had described, An Town had lost nearly all of its intact buildings. It was impractical to inhabit the town since repairing them was out of the question. Ji Zan and MO Cheng had explored in vain, and it was apparent that An Town had become a deserted city.
After the satisfying meal, Ji Zan spoke earnestly, “The tornado almost destroyed all the buildings, and it seems resources are scarce. We have to leave this place and search for supplies and a suitable place to live elsewhere. Staying here will lead to exhaustion due to dwindling resources.”
Professor Feng nodded and said, “That’s correct, we can’t produce food, and remaining idle isn’t a viable option. Do you have a specific destination in mind?”
Ji Zan glanced at Fu Shinan and replied, “I have a rough idea, but the place is quite far, and I’m sure the fuel in our car won’t be sufficient. We also need to find food along the way, or we might starve. After all, more natural disasters may lie ahead. If anyone has alternative plans, please voice them so we can discuss. ”
Everyone exchanged glances and shook their heads. The truth was, many of them were not locals, and the recent natural disaster had left them disoriented. It was challenging to have specific goals in such a situation. Besides, since the formation of the group, Ji Zan had become their undisputed leader, with Fu Shinan being the next in command. Now that Fu Shinan was not speaking, it essentially meant she agreed, and others were unlikely to voice any objections.
Seeing everyone’s silence, Ji Zan continued, “So, we’ve set our destination: Lingqu Mountain. It’s located on a remote island, quite far from our current position. Before we head there, our primary focus will be searching for supplies.”
Xia Dong couldn’t help but ask, “Brother Ji, what kind of place is Lingqu
Mountain? I might not be very knowledgeable, but I’ve heard of some places. I’ve never heard of a mountain on an island like that..”
