The warm sun illuminated the earth, but the early summer sunlight wasn't too hot. The vast and open countryside extended endlessly, with gentle slopes and a straight asphalt road connecting to the small town ahead. The town was eerily quiet, devoid of any signs of life, until suddenly, a large crowd of people burst out, appearing crazed and frantic, racing forward with wild shouts and gestures.
Luo Zheng watched this scene in shock, not knowing what had happened. As the people got closer, heading straight for the truck parked on the road, he realized that they were here for food. He and Lan Xue had been talking and hadn't noticed the truck passing by. The driver was desperately speeding towards the checkpoint, fearful of being caught by the townsfolk.
