Chapter 247 Before Departure (Part 1)

A few clouds floated in the blue sky, and the sun rose from the east, with warm sunshine shining on the earth.

The sunlight coming in from the window is like an alarm clock for those who are still sleeping.

Luo Ren's eyelids moved a few times, and then he slowly opened his eyes. The moment his eyes opened, the sunlight became more dazzling, and he quickly covered his eyes with his hands. After a long time, this dazzling feeling completely disappeared.

"Ah——"

He got off the bed, faced the window, and stretched.

He sniffed gently, and the fresh air was mixed with the smell of meat. He smiled and shook his head, saying: "It's been two days, and the smell of burning corpses hasn't dissipated yet?"

He jumped out of the window and landed gently on the ground. This scene made the medical staff opposite couldn't help but exclaim.

Today, it is time to set off for Tianwu Mountain. He walked on the stone road and soon came to General Wu's Mansion. The newly planned center of Yancheng now has only three buildings, the city-state base, the arsenal, and the chariot factory.

The city-state base can be inhabited, but such a central building is for the city lord to live in. Before, the Li brothers and sisters wanted to leave it for Luo Ren to live in, but he refused.

The other buildings are still under construction, so the core figures of Yancheng's management are still living in the castle, and Lin Wu and Lin Ya are no exception.

There are two armed guards in front of General Wu's Mansion. They are long spears, not rifles. One is a cold weapon and the other is a hot weapon. The two are very different.

The reason why the weapons of the gate guards are long spears, not rifles, is that guns are precious and all are equipped by the formal army. This kind of guarding the house can just use some cold weapons to pretend.

Luo Ren is now well-known in Yancheng. The two guards certainly recognize him and watch him stride into the mansion without any intention of stopping him. They don't want to cause trouble.

They went straight to the living room, where two women were doing odd jobs cleaning the house. These people were recruited from the common people, and they were provided with two meals a day, and they also had wages, and their taxes were halved, which was much better than going out of the city to search for food.

When the two saw Luo Ren coming in, they immediately lowered their heads slightly, and dared only to sneak a glance with their peripheral vision, and greeted him, "Lord Luo."

"Are Lin Wu and Lin Ya here?"

One of them shook his head and replied in a low voice, "Reporting to the Lord, General Wu and Miss Lin Ya are not in the mansion at this time. It seems that they have gone out of the castle."

"Do you know where they went?" Luo Ren asked.

The man shook his head again and said, "I don't know."

"Out..." Luo Ren thought about it, and frowned. If he thought of it, where else could he go? Naturally, it was the center of the new city.

Without saying a word, he turned around and left, walking through the streets and alleys, passing the drawbridge, and the same few guards, this time seeing Luo Ren from a distance, took the initiative to lower the drawbridge, and flattered him with a face full of flattery.

Soon they arrived at the center of the new city, and immediately saw Lin Wu directing more than a hundred people to clean up the debris and cut down the trees that were in the way, and Lin Ya was watching the excitement on the side.

Lin Ya glanced at Luo Ren, and her lazy look immediately disappeared. She ran in front of him and asked, "Brother Luo, why are you here?"

At this time, Lin Wu also noticed that Luo Ren had arrived, and immediately stopped his work and walked over.

Seeing the two of them, Luo Ren didn't beat around the bush and said to Lin Ya, "The work here is done, we should set off."

Although he didn't say where to go, Lin Ya knew, and Lin Wu also knew, that was "Tianwu Mountain".

Lin Ya nodded heavily and said, "Okay, then when do we set off?"

Lin Wu was silent. In short, in short, he was still a little worried about Lin Ya. Without knowing the life and death of others, Lin Ya was his only relative in this world.

But he couldn't go back on his promise, so he chose to remain silent. He was afraid that he would say something he would regret once he opened his mouth.

Swish! !

Luo Ren was about to speak when two figures suddenly rushed over. They were the Li brothers and sisters. Li Xixue was as usual, with a veil covering her face. Her beautiful phoenix eyes fell on Luo Ren, and there was no fluctuation in her expression.

Li Xiyan was quite different. He said anxiously, "Xiao Ya, what did you say? You want to go to Tianwu Mountain with the commander?"

Facing his aggressive gaze, Lin Ya just nodded and replied calmly, "Yes."

"The journey to Tianwu Mountain is long. There are poisonous insects, birds and beasts everywhere on the way, and there are zombies. It is very dangerous..."

Li Xiyan said a lot of things, all of which were dangerous places on the way to Tianwu Mountain, trying to scare Lin Ya.

But he underestimated Lin Ya's determination. Lin Ya shook her head firmly and said, "No matter how dangerous it is, I will go back. My parents are still waiting for me."

Hearing that Lin Ya was going for her parents, Li Xiyan was stunned. Everyone has parents. He and Li Xixue also missed their parents, but their parents were far away abroad. They didn't know what the current situation was, or if they had already...

Li Xixue was also moved when she heard this. Her eyes, which were as calm as a well, were slightly turbulent. She didn't know how her parents were doing in Japan at this time.

Li Xiyan came back to his senses from his thoughts, sighed, and said, "If that's the case, Xiaoya..." His eyes were firm and sincere, and he said, "I will go to Tianwu Mountain with you!"

Luo Ren frowned and thought to himself, "This guy, knowing that there are many dangers ahead, is still willing to accompany him. It seems that he has deep feelings for Lin Ya."

Lin Ya's heart was moved, tenderness appeared in her eyes, she faced Li Xiyan, smiled sweetly, and said: "No need, Brother Xiyan, such a big Yancheng still needs your management and maintenance."

"But... it's really dangerous." Li Xiyan still didn't give up.

Lin Ya said: "Don't worry, I'm not going alone, don't we have Brother Luo? With his strength, any demons and monsters will be scared away."

Li Xiyan looked at Luo Ren, with a hint of jealousy in his eyes, Luo Ren shook his head helplessly, what's the connection?

Lin Ya also noticed it, and immediately hugged Li Xiyan, her mouth almost close to his ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Brother Xiyan, wait for me to come back."

The jealousy in Li Xiyan's eyes disappeared immediately. He had fully understood Lin Ya's intentions. After a moment's silence, he nodded heavily and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back!"

Li Xixue looked at Lin Ya and thought to herself, "It seems that I have to call her sister-in-law in the future."

Li Xiyan looked at Luo Ren, clasped his hands together, bowed 90 degrees, and begged, "Please take care of Xiaoya along the way, sir."

Luo Ren said, "Get up, she will definitely come back safely."

After hearing this, Li Xiyan immediately said, "Thank you, sir."

Luo Ren nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "City Lord Yan and City Lord Xue still need you to get us a car. The journey is long, and we can't walk there."
