There was still sunshine in the early morning, but after Lu Xinyi and his companions drove along the not-so-wide country road for an hour, the sunshine hid in the thick clouds.

The weather darkened.

"The weather has changed." Li Wanzhi glanced out the window and said, "Look at the weather. Is it going to rain?"

"Don't let it rain. Driving on rainy days is the most troublesome." Du Heng muttered.

"We can't decide whether it will rain or not, so let's just walk." Lu Xinyi also glanced at the gloomy sky outside the window, "If it really rains heavily, we can only find a place to hide from the rain."

Driving in heavy rain is dangerous, and since they are not familiar with the road conditions, it is better not to drive in the rain.

Of course, it would be best if it didn’t rain.

The off-road vehicle continued forward, and as usual, the men would stop to sweep the area when passing through a town or village.

After the sweep, we continued on our way.

In this way, it was noon and time for lunch.

In the deserted wilderness, the off-road vehicle stopped on the side of the road, and several people got out and began to prepare lunch.

"Can I have instant noodles for lunch today?" Xia Lianqiao looked at Lu Xinyi who was taking out food from the space, "I haven't had instant noodles for a long time. I want to eat instant noodles."

Over the past six months, she has not been stingy with her food even though it is the end of the world.

On the contrary, she gained a lot of weight with the help of her sister's daily feeding. Fortunately, she trained every day, and the fat eventually turned into muscles.

After eating too much meat and fish every day, I sometimes crave for junk food.

Hamburgers, fried chicken, cola, etc., wow, I want to eat them all.

Seeing that she really wanted to eat, Lu Xinyi couldn't help but smile, "If you want to eat instant noodles, that's fine, but don't eat too much, instant noodles don't have much nutrition."

"I'll just eat one packet. If I'm not full, I'll eat something else." Xia Lianqiao said with a smile, and stretched out her index finger and made a "one" gesture towards her.

"Instant noodles, I kind of want to eat some too." Du Heng came over and said, "Why don't we just eat instant noodles for lunch, it will save us the trouble."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Li Wanzhi and Qin Ju, asking for their opinions.

Neither of them had any objection, and they ate whatever Xinyi prepared for them.

So, with everyone's unanimous agreement, we had instant noodles for lunch.

Lu Xinyi took out the alcohol stove, placed a pot on it, and poured a few bottles of mineral water into the pot.

While waiting for the water to boil, she took an alcohol stove, set up another pot, and started frying eggs.

Before she finished frying the eggs, the water for cooking instant noodles was boiling.

"Let me do it." Qin Ju walked to her side, sat on a small stool, and started to work naturally.

Put a few pancakes into boiling water, stir it a few times with chopsticks, then add sliced ​​luncheon meat, cooked sausages, and washed Chinese cabbage into the pot.

After all the ingredients in the pot are cooked, sprinkle some seasoning on them and the steaming instant noodles are ready.

"Wow, it smells so good." Xia Lianqiao couldn't help swallowing and wanted to put a big mouthful of instant noodles into her mouth right away.

Qin Ju filled a bowl of noodles for her and reminded her, "Be careful, it's hot."

"It's not hot, not hot." Xia Lianqiao took the bowl and went to Lu Xinyi's pot to get the poached eggs.

Each person had a large bowl of instant noodles with two poached eggs.

Although it was very simple compared to what they usually ate, it was really delicious for those who hadn't eaten instant noodles for a long time.

Fortunately, this is in the wilderness, with no village or shop nearby, otherwise, the fragrance would probably attract other people's covetousness.

After filling their stomachs, cleaning up the dishes and taking a short rest, the group continued on their journey.

The sky was still gloomy and windy in the afternoon, and it might really rain later in the day.

They could only travel as far as possible before the rain came.

After driving for about an hour, the off-road vehicle arrived in front of a village.

However, before entering the village, the road ahead collapsed, and a four or five meter long section of the road was sunk deep into the ground.

At the other end of the landslide, the road was bumpy and there were several deep cracks on the concrete floor.

"The road ahead is blocked." Qin Ju stopped the car and turned to look at Lu Xinyi.

Lu Xinyi released his spiritual power and extended it outward. Within the coverage area, there was nothing unusual except for the farmland overgrown with weeds and empty houses.

Retracting her mental strength, she frowned and said, "It feels a bit strange."

The road in front of him was badly damaged. Within the 500-meter range covered by his mental power, the road was covered with spider-web-like cracks, and there were even several landslides ahead.

Like it was deliberately destroyed.

But right now, they have no other way to go except this one.

If we return to the original route and try another one, we don't know how far we will have to go or where we will end up.

The reason why they are driving on the country road now is because the road was blocked before and they chose to take a detour. As a result, they took so many detours that they ended up on a remote country road.

After all, offline maps cannot display road conditions in real time, and many rural roads are not shown on the map at all.

Therefore, they cannot rely entirely on maps.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Get off the car and we'll walk over there."

Everyone got off the bus without objection.

Lu Xinyi put the off-road vehicle into the space, and the five of them bypassed the landslide in front of them and walked forward carefully along the dilapidated road.

"This village is really quiet. Not to mention people, not even a zombie can be seen." Li Wanzhi looked around as he walked. "This village has a lot of people and the houses are very densely packed. There should be quite a lot of people."

This place was a bit strange, so Lu Xinyi didn't ask everyone to collect supplies, but instead asked them to move forward along the road.

She was also looking around and also felt something was strange.

There shouldn't be a single movable creature.

Not even a bird was seen flying through the air.

"Wow, what a big banyan tree!" Xia Lianqiao said in amazement, "This banyan tree must be hundreds of years old, right?"

A few people followed her gaze and saw a banyan tree more than a hundred meters in front of them. Its crown was like a giant umbrella, blocking out the sun. Countless rust-brown aerial roots hung down from the branches, as thick as an adult man's arm.

The trunk of the banyan tree was very large. Even if five of them hugged it together, they probably couldn't hug its thick trunk.

A gust of wind blew, causing the green leaves of the banyan tree to sway and make a rustling sound.

"There's actually such a big banyan tree in this village." Xia Lianqiao looked at the banyan tree and said, "This tree must be very important to this village. They even built a flower bed around the tree."

"Ancient banyan trees that are hundreds of years old must be well protected." Du Heng said, also looking up at the tall and lush banyan tree.

As they were talking, they had already arrived under the banyan tree and were standing under the shadow cast by its lush branches.

"Let me take a picture as a souvenir." Xia Lianqiao said, and was about to take out his mobile phone from the space to take a picture.

And at this moment——

Lu Xinyi flashed in front of her.
