Chapter 435 Attacked
Even though Yan San was worried, he had no choice but to let Xi Yu leave.
After the madman arrived in the capital, Xi Yu immediately took the fat man and Liang Shan'er to Fucheng.
Yan San prepared military shuttles for them, which had the authority to fly in the air, saving Xi Yu and the others a lot of time changing transportation.
Even the flying shuttles cannot reach Fucheng directly because Fucheng is surrounded by a strong magnetic field, which not only prevents all high-tech instruments from functioning properly, but also causes the aircraft to malfunction. Therefore, when they fly to a certain range, they have to abandon the shuttles and walk.
"Boss, this is the most we can go. We'll have to walk from here on." Crazy parked the car next to some ruins.
Xi Yu told them to take their backpacks and luggage, while she walked ahead with the detector Yan San had given her.
As expected, the detectors malfunctioned after about five minutes. The special magnetic field rendered the instruments inoperable, and they could only continue in the direction they had initially decided to go.
"Boss... is this really the route? Why are we still stuck in these ruins no matter where we go?" The fat man carried Liang Shan'er and jumped over a collapsed building.
This place is a city destroyed before the apocalypse. After hundreds of years, it has been completely transformed into a unique ruined forest. The stones and cement are covered with lush green moss and grass, and trees grow among the stones, creating a verdant and unique landscape.
"Probably." Xi Yu couldn't be 100% sure either, as the special magnetic field here also affected her mental strength.
“Look here, the moss here is growing much slower. I guess it was rubbed off by someone’s foot before, and then it grew back,” Xi Yu said, pointing to the ground.
Unable to determine the direction, Xi Yu could only rely on her tracking ability to judge the routes taken by those who came before her.
"I see!" The fat man looked at Xi Yu with admiration. Liang Shan'er, who was beside him, had been very well-behaved and hadn't said a word. She just stayed close to the fat man.
“According to the satellite map, we are less than five kilometers away from Fucheng. If we keep going, we will be there soon.” Xi Yu jumped off the boulder and walked forward.
They avoided the mutated species as they went, and the closer they got to Fucheng, the stronger the strange magnetic field energy became, even causing people to feel impatient and depressed.
The madman climbed up a huge tree to scout the road ahead, then nimbly leaped down and pointed to the right, saying, "I see a tall building about two kilometers away in this direction, but I'm not sure if it's Fucheng."
"Let's go take a look then." Xi Yu thought it was very likely that it was Fucheng, and they were already very close to their destination.
"Great, we're almost there! I'm exhausted..." The fat man happily led the way, as he was carrying Liang Shan'er and had used up a lot of his energy.
Suddenly, a soft whooshing sound rang out, and Xi Yu's expression changed. She quickly reached out and grabbed the fat man's collar, pulling him backward, while simultaneously grabbing forward with her left hand.
The fat man's vision blurred for a moment, and when he looked closely at what Xi Yu was holding, he couldn't help but gasp.
What was held between Xi Yu's fingers was a sharp arrow! The arrowhead had an eerie green hue, clearly poisoned.
Xi Yu's face darkened, and with a slight pinch of her fingers, she snapped the arrow in two. Then she looked up and stared coldly at the dense trees in the distance.
