Fang Yuxin and the others had left the desolate village for less than an hour when it started to drizzle. At first, the rain was light, but gradually, it grew heavier.
At this time, they had just returned to the highway not long ago.
As the rain intensified, the sky gradually became darker. Looking closely, layers of dark clouds had mysteriously formed, creating a tense and oppressive atmosphere, reminiscent of "dark clouds crushing the city’s will." The completely sealed car windows made breathing seem more difficult.
What made it even more uncomfortable was that, as it grew darker and the rain intensified, the road ahead became less clear. When abandoned private cars appeared on the road again, everyone felt extremely frustrated.
With no choice, the three superpower mutants had to take turns getting out of the car to act as porters, moving the abandoned cars aside. Fortunately, because of the heavy rain, the zombies, wherever they were hiding, did not emerge, which would have complicated matters further.
After driving for a short while longer, the sky darkened even more. Fang Yuxin looked up and saw that the canopy overhead was completely covered with stacked dark clouds, an ominous sign indeed.
She furrowed her brow, suddenly feeling uneasy.
Just then, Bai Qianqian suddenly hugged her waist, nervously saying, "Mama, is it getting dark? Will there be thunder?"
Fang Yuxin paused, instinctively hugging him back and gently patting his back, asking softly, "What’s wrong? Qianqian, are you afraid of thunder?" Indeed, many children are afraid of thunder, and even some adults as well.
Unexpectedly, Bai Qianqian, frowning slightly, said, "Qianqian isn’t afraid of thunder! Qianqian is a man! Mama, are you scared? Qianqian will protect you!" As he spoke, he snuggled closer into Fang Yuxin’s embrace, his round eyes filled with unease.
Fang Yuxin smiled softly, not exposing his bluff, just holding him tightly and telling her family, "Dad, Mom, Brother, looking at this sky, this rain might last for a while. We should find a place to take shelter."
