Chapter 470: Distinct Relationship

The light of the star shone from the distant horizon, expelling the darkness in the wasteland and becoming bright again. The coldness after night was gradually replaced by the warmth brought about by the light, and it no longer felt as uncomfortable as before.

However, when he felt the warmth brought about by the light of the star, Chu Nan’s heart did not warm at all. Instead, it turned cold.

Although he had already set off for more than six hours, he had actually not even traveled 30 kilometers. To Chu Nan, this speed was undoubtedly shockingly slow.

However, in fact, to the large group of people he was leading now, this speed could already be said to be the highest speed they could go after risking their lives.

It could not be helped. Most of these people did not have good stamina and were disabled. Their mobility was originally inferior to ordinary people, and now, they were dragging their families along. Some of them were even carrying many tattered daily necessities. There were even some who had to carry a rotten blanket. It would be strange if their speed was fast.

Chu Nan really wanted them to throw away all these things and use their full strength to rush over, but he could not say it.

One had to know that when they learned last night that they needed to abandon their residence to escape, many people in this group still did not believe it and were unwilling to leave.

If not for Chu Nan and their leader’s persuasion and the corpses on the ground as the strongest evidence, these villagers would probably be unwilling to leave.

Even if they finally agreed to Chu Nan’s relocation plan, they spent more than two hours before they were ready and barely gathered to set off.

As for the speed after setting off…

It could only be said that they had really tried their best to walk more than 30 kilometers in more than six hours.

“Ah—”

A cry suddenly sounded from the team. Chu Nan frowned and turned around to see a middle-aged woman in her forties falling to the ground and shouting in pain.

Chu Nan helplessly walked over and helped her up. He did not dare to show any anxiety or impatience on his face. Instead, he had to put on a gentle smile and ask in concern, “How is it? Can you still persist?”

The middle-aged woman did not complain. She gritted her teeth and tried her best to stand up. She waved at Chu Nan, “It’s fine, I can still walk.”

After saying that, she joined the team again and limped away.

Seeing her like this, the two men beside her reached out to take the bag on her back, sandwiching her in the middle and moving together.

Chu Nan had to admit that this group of people could survive in such a difficult environment in the wasteland. Their willpower could not be underestimated and they were very united. They had already performed very well in this escape.

However, limited by their own conditions, this was still far from enough.

At this speed, they would need at least a day or two to reach Nightclub City more than 200 kilometers away.

Moreover, this did not include the time to stop in the middle. If the time to rest was included, they might not even reach in two days.

“I’m afraid this won’t do…” A middle-aged burly man leaned over and whispered to Chu Nan.

This middle-aged burly man was the man Chu Nan had taken the initiative to approach earlier. He was also the leader of this group and his name was Sienna.

“Little Brother Chu Nan, at this speed, not to mention whether we can reach Nightclub City, we might be caught by the Sand Eagle’s people before that.”

Previously, Chu Nan had clearly expressed in his communication that Sand Eagle had suffered a huge loss here. Even a leader with the strength of the Void Break Realm like Nemonta had died, so they would definitely send someone to investigate.

If the Sand Eagle people knew the truth, they would definitely not let them go. Therefore, Chu Nan hoped that they could immediately start to escape.

To people like them who lived in the wasteland, they naturally knew Sand Eagle’s name very well and knew his style very well. Therefore, they did not doubt Chu Nan’s judgment.

Sienna simply agreed with Chu Nan and convinced the villagers with him. However, he also knew very well how difficult it was for them to face and contribute.

Chu Nan glanced at the staggering crowd and frowned. He thought for a moment and asked, “Uncle Sienna, are there cars heading to Nightclub City nearby?”

Sienna was stunned and asked in surprise, “What do you want to do?”

“It’s indeed unrealistic to walk to the carnival night like this. It would be much better if there was a train like the one we took when we came here with Durica.”

Sienna frowned. “But didn’t you say yesterday that this would be too obvious and easy to be discovered by the Sand Eagle’s people? If we were to take a car, we shouldn’t have abandoned that small van yesterday.”

“That small truck can’t carry so many people.” Chu Nan shook his head, “If you want to carry so many of us, you need at least a large cargo locomotive.”

“If it’s large…” Sienna pondered for a moment and pointed slightly north, “The bus train line you took with Durica should be over there, but we don’t know where it is now.”

Chu Nan sighed and turned around to look in the direction he came from.

“I hope to encounter Sand Eagle’s people now.”

Sienna was stunned. “Why?”

Chu Nan shook his head and did not answer. Instead, he arrived in the middle of the team.

In the middle of the team was a simple wooden cart with a soft blanket on the floor. Angie Prairie was lying on it with her eyes closed.

Chu Nan reached out to touch her forehead and discovered that it was still hot. He could not help but worry.

In fact, compared to the dilemma the team was facing, his greatest worry was Angie Prairie.

Ever since she fell into a coma yesterday, she had been in a high fever.

If this state continued for a period of time, it was very difficult for Chu Nan to predict what danger she would encounter.

There were many times when Chu Nan wanted to abandon this group of people and fly back to Nightclub City with Angie Prairie on his back. He would return to pick them up after confirming that she was safe.

With his current strength and confidence that he could arrive in two to three hours, he should be able to treat Angie Prairie in the most timely manner.

As for whether these people would be caught and killed by Sand Eagle’s people during this period of time, Chu Nan could not care less.

In the end, there was a difference in closeness.

He and Angie Prairie were close friends, but he had only just met these people.

Even if he felt guilty after this, Chu Nan did not think that his choice was wrong.

However, every time he thought of this, Chu Nan would recall Angie Prairie’s expression when she mentioned Planet Leviathan.

When he recalled that if Angie Prairie woke up and knew that these people could not be saved in the end and were still killed, she would definitely fall into an extremely regretful state. Chu Nan could only suppress the urge in his heart.

“I’ll continue to persist. However, if it comes to the most dangerous moment, I’ll still choose to escape with you.” Chu Nan touched Angie Prairie’s forehead and silently made up his mind.

“Sienna…”

Chu Nan took a deep breath and turned around. Just as he was about to call Sienna to discuss if there was a secret place to rest nearby, a cry suddenly sounded from the team.

“Oh my god, what’s that?”

At this moment, Chu Nan had already noticed the faint sound coming from behind. He looked in the direction where everyone was shouting and saw that there was rolling dust rising into the air from the wasteland and surging over at high speed.

With his powerful data ability, Chu Nan quickly determined that the dust should be 6.7 kilometers away.

With the speed at which the dust rolled, it would take at most ten minutes to catch up.

“Little Brother Chu Nan, this…”

Sienna turned to look at Chu Nan with a pale face and uncontrollable panic in his eyes.

Clearly, the Sand Eagle’s pursuers had arrived.
