After a brief rest, Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye were ready to continue their journey. They were both anxious to reach Beishi City as soon as possible, unwilling to stop for breaks.
Moreover, their physical condition was far beyond that of ordinary people. Even if they went without sleep for several nights, they wouldn’t feel exhausted. For them, resting was merely a waste of time.
While they didn’t need rest, others were both tired and hungry, emotionally and physically drained. Ordinary people driving for long hours could become extremely exhausted, not to mention the constant fear and tension they had endured along the way, coupled with not being able to have a full meal. Continuing the journey would be very stressful for them.
Seeing that Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye were about to continue on the road, someone bravely advised, "Driving at night is really dangerous. Would you two like to find a place to rest for the night and continue in the morning?"
By this time, Fang Yuxin had taken out her tablet and was estimating their current location. Observing the area marked on the map, Fang Yuxin tapped her fingers gently and frowned.
Bai Ye leaned over and took a glance, seeing it displayed Lin City, which didn’t seem too far from their location. He asked, "Are you planning to go there? Are you meeting someone?"
As their initial plan didn’t include passing by Lin City, Fang Yuxin looking at this place surely had a reason. Bai Ye speculated a few possibilities in his mind, thinking the most likely one being Fang Yuxin might know someone in Lin City, hence her desire to visit.
Upon his inquiry, Fang Yuxin nodded, "A friend of mine went back to her hometown here before the apocalypse. I don’t know how she’s doing now; I plan to check on her." After saying this, she looked at Bai Ye, her gaze involuntarily carrying a hint of pleading.
After all, their current priority should be getting to Beishi City. Going to Lin City would mean a detour, and even upon arriving, finding someone wouldn’t be easy. Fang Yuxin knew her request was somewhat willful.
But Li Qingyun had helped her a lot; if it hadn’t been for him, she wouldn’t have known so quickly that Bai Qianqian was her biological son, nor learned about Fang Mengyao’s poisoning, which was detected by Li Qingyun.
Before the apocalypse, she had specifically shown Li Qingyun the post online advising her to be careful and prepare early. Yet knowing this, Li Qingyun had still decided to go back and stay with her family.
After the apocalypse, communication was cut off, and she lost contact with Li Qingyun, not knowing whether he was still alive.
Now that she was here, not far from Lin City, she felt she would be remiss not to check.
