Chapter 103 Refuge
Chapter 103 Refuge
Qi Xian drove very fast, but the road was too bad and there were too many landslides.
So when they saw the mountain not far ahead, the torrential rain suddenly began to pour down.
It severely obstructed Qi Xian's view, and even swinging the windshield wipers all the way up couldn't help.
The crosswinds outside the car were getting stronger, and the people in the car could clearly feel the car constantly drifting and skidding passively.
Chi Heng and Yu Yao worked together to control the surrounding airflow, but they barely managed to prevent the car from being blown away.
Ultimately, if the level isn't high enough, it's still somewhat difficult to fight against nature.
A few minutes later, the wind outside continued to pick up, and began to break through Chi Heng and Yu Yao's defenses, causing their car to drift sideways for about two meters.
The convoy finally arrived at the air-raid shelter without any major incidents.
But given the current situation, opening the door and getting out of the car is absolutely out of the question.
So Luo Pingjing and Jiang Yi worked together to build an emergency passage three meters wide and two meters high between the convoy and the air-raid shelter.
Everyone quickly got out of the car, parked it, and ran towards the gate.
But the sturdy, heavy iron gate was locked tightly from the inside.
Amidst the howling wind and rain and the sound of the passageway swaying violently in the strong wind.
Qi Xian shouted, "It's locked from the inside! There's someone inside!"
Dongfang Jin immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Friends inside, could you please open the door? We'll leave once we've weathered the storm."
A response came from inside.
"If you won't open it, get out!"
Chu Chenzhou frowned and stepped forward. "Brother, the current weather conditions don't allow us to leave. Don't worry, we won't do anything. If things really come to a head, we can use supplies or crystal cores as rent."
The reply from inside was immediate: "I don't care if you can leave or not, get out! Don't force us to take action!"
The passageway continues to shake and could be destroyed at any moment.
Chi Heng's gaze turned cold as he turned to look at Luo Pingjing.
"Pingjing, open the door."
"Ok!"
Luo Pingjing nodded slightly and raised his hand to use his metal-type ability to dissolve the iron lock inside.
A moment later, the door was suddenly pushed open amidst several horrified and surprised faces inside.
Without saying a word, Chi Heng and his group quickly entered.
Finally, at the same moment the outer passage was completely blown away, everyone entered the air-raid shelter, closed the door, and locked it again.
......
The air-raid shelter was large, and there were many candles and torches inside, making it dim but still relatively easy to see.
Faced with the sudden intrusion of Chi Heng and his group, the people inside unconsciously huddled together, looking at the newcomers with fear and unease.
Seeing how frightened they were, Dongfang Jin was just about to say something.
But then an incredulous scream rang out from the crowd opposite.
"It's you, it's all of you?"
Dongfang Jin and the others looked over upon hearing the sound.
In the crowd, a long-haired woman in a short-sleeved shirt and trousers was staring at Chi Heng with a complicated expression.
The woman was beautiful, with a figure that most men find most attractive: large breasts, a slim waist, long, shapely legs, and a tall, well-proportioned physique.
Her long, curly hair exudes charm, making her a classic glamorous and sophisticated woman.
Clearly, women are doing well after the apocalypse.
Chi Heng glanced at the woman but didn't recognize her.
Luo Mei, however, exclaimed, "Eh?" "It's you?"
Luo Mei's expression was somewhat strange.
That's why people say you shouldn't talk about crickets behind their backs, because you might run into the person who's actually doing it.
Isn't this the girl, Cen Yuemian, who relentlessly pursued Chi Heng for over half a month three years ago?
Cen Yuemian looked at Luo Mei, revealing a captivating smile, and said to her, "It's me, long time no see, Miss Li."
As she spoke, her gaze swept slightly towards Yu Yao, who was being subtly protected behind Chi Heng, and her smile deepened.
"Has the team got a new member? She's really beautiful!"
As she finished speaking, the gaze of a middle-aged man beside her had already swept back and forth between Cen Yuemian, Luo Mei, and Chi Heng several times.
It took him a while to realize, "So you two know each other? Oh dear! What a mess this is! It's like the flood washed away the Dragon King's temple!"
As he spoke, he looked at Chi Heng, his tone apologetic, "I'm sorry, brother, the world is in a bad state these days, and we don't dare to trust others easily, so we didn't open the door for you right away. Don't mind, don't mind."
That's the truth.
Most people wouldn't dare open the door casually.
Chi Heng said, "I'm sorry to bother you. We're just here to take shelter from the storm, and we'll leave once the rain stops."
"No problem, no problem, don't stay here, come in quickly, come in quickly."
......
The middle-aged man led Chi Heng, Lin Fengmu, and their group into the air-raid shelter.
Then I introduced myself.
"My name is Chengxi, Chengxi as in 'always happy.' It's a pleasure to meet you all. May I ask your names?"
This question made Luo Mei raise an eyebrow.
Whether to use their real name or a code name has become a problem.
After all, Cen Yuemian knew their fake names...
Chi Heng, however, did not think so. He had long since given up on living under a code name and a fake name.
"Chi Heng".
As soon as he finished speaking, Cen Yuemian suddenly looked at him, her gaze blank, filled with a hint of resentment and disbelief.
Clearly, she never knew Chi Heng's real name.
