"We have now changed our base. It is about one kilometer away from the original place, near Boji Bridge. Do you have a map? Do I need to pick you up?"

The voice of the soldier continued to come from the intercom.

When she heard about Boji Bridge, Han Ying looked at Lu Yuan and he nodded towards her.

"No, we know the road. We are driving a gray field vehicle. Let's go there now."

Han Ying directly rejected the soldier's kindness.

Lu Yuan is from Jiangcheng. Although the entire Jiangcheng has been completely destroyed, he still knows the general location.

"Boji Bridge is at this location, and we are here. The straight-line distance is not far, but the road conditions are unclear. My suggestion is to take the Wangjiang Park route. There are fewer buildings here, but you need to bypass an urban village."

Lu Yuan was familiar with this route because the village in the city that he needed to bypass was where his grandfather used to live.

That village is called Hongmei Village.

Before he was 10 years old, Lu Yuan basically lived there.

When going around there, he could also take a look to see if the house his grandfather left him had been destroyed by tsunamis and earthquakes.

At around one o'clock in the morning, the RV entered Jiangcheng.

Although everyone was mentally prepared, everyone still couldn't help but sigh when they saw Jiangcheng being destroyed like this.

If they hadn't followed the road map all the way towards Jiangcheng, everyone would have thought they had arrived at some ruins.

Standing by the window of the RV and looking out, it is difficult to find a complete building that has not been destroyed.

In the past, Jiangcheng was also a first-tier city, with swaths of skyscrapers symbolizing the city's prosperity.

Nowadays, most of those skyscrapers have long ceased to exist, but more of the low-rise buildings have survived.

The streets were littered with the remains of various buildings.

Dry and towering trees lie between the buildings. From a distance, it seems as if a large network has been woven with trees as its meridians.

There are also various rusty and crooked vehicles hanging on the big net.

"Let's go to the city!"

Han Ying took the lead to leave the window. No matter what Jiangcheng became now, they had already arrived and there was no way out.

The RV first followed the previous route map, but because the soldiers had changed the location of the temporary stronghold, the route map was almost useless.

I thought I could stop and rest after entering Jiangcheng.

Unexpectedly, it took them nearly an hour to clear a small section of the road that was passable.

However, everyone also made a decision when clearing this section of road.

The streets are full of abandoned cars, and maybe they can dismantle some usable parts from each car.

Maybe it's even possible to put together a car.

When clearing the road, everyone cut off the firewood blocking the road and hid it in the collapsed building.

Once they find a place to settle, they can come and take the firewood away.

While cleaning up the ruins, look for useful supplies.

Hide what is still usable and take it away later.

"Miscalculation, it seems we won't be able to reach the temporary stronghold today."

It is really difficult to rely on manpower to clear a road that can allow cars to pass.

It will be dawn in a while, and we have just entered Hongmei Village.

He got on the intercom, told the two soldiers about their situation, and told them that they probably wouldn't be able to arrive tonight.

The road conditions were like this, and there was nothing the two soldiers could do.

The two soldiers also asked Han Ying about their current location and said that they would go over to help clear the road after the sun went down tomorrow night.

He told them the location and then hung up the intercom.

Everyone continued to clean up the ruins while the sun was still not up.

"That's it for today. You go in first and we'll look around."

Having arrived at Hongmei Village, Lu Yuan naturally wanted to go over and see if that building was still there.

"Then be careful, I just saw a dog over there."

Qin Qinghai moved a broken sofa that was blocking the road and said to the two of them.

"Okay, you guys eat first, you don't have to wait for us!"

After saying that, the two of them put on their insulated hats and parasols, put on their backpacks, took the dog, and left.

"It's closer by taking a small road. Cars can't get through, but people are still fine."

Lu Yuan took Han Ying through the country roads.

There were originally many fruit trees planted on both sides of this road, but now there are only rows of dead trees left.

Houses in rural areas are not planned very much. Houses are usually built wherever their own homestead is.

Therefore, most of the houses are built quite densely, but looking around, there are not many well-preserved houses.

However, compared to what I saw along the way just now, the situation in Hongmei Village is much better than outside.

The main reason is that the village in front of Hongmei Village has been assimilated by the city.

Houses throughout the village were demolished and rebuilt into commercial buildings.

Although the price is not very high, the number of floors built is still quite high.

It is precisely because of the buffering of the blocks of buildings that many of the low-rise buildings in the back have been preserved.

Lu Yuan has not been to Hongmei Village for a long time, but along the way, he has an impression of the ruined and intact houses.

"This store used to be a canteen. When I was a kid, I used to buy snacks here on credit. My grandpa would come over once a week to settle the bill."

Lu Yuan pointed to a two-story building that was still intact, and he could faintly see a faded sign on their door that said Hongmei Village Grocery Store.

Lu Yuan was rebellious when he was a child. The more his grandfather wouldn't let him eat, the more he would eat.

He just thought about asking his grandfather to complain to his parents, and then his parents would come to him. Even if they scolded him a few times, it would be better than leaving him alone here.

The reason why he can learn to remove people's joints is also because of this.

After becoming familiar with the human skeleton, Lu Yuan dismantled and reinstalled the skeletal models over and over again.

He often makes mischief in the village.

Once when he had a fight with a neighbor's kid, Lu Yuan somehow removed the kid's hand bones the same way he usually removed the skeletal models.

The child was wailing on the ground in pain, which attracted many people.

After returning home, I was scolded, but my parents came over to apologize to the child's family.

Since then, Lu Yuan has been out of control, playing tricks on his joints.

Then no children dared to fight with him anymore. Seeing him was like a mouse seeing a cat.

Listen to Lu Yuan come all the way to introduce the situation of this village.

It was difficult for Han Ying to overlap the child who passed by the canteen after school every day, took something and left with the current Lu Yuan.
