...

Night Star lay on the roof of the Phantom, gazing at the dark sky, where leaden clouds churned, making it seem as if rain was imminent.

He unusually didn't stay in the shadows playing with the girls. Moving to the safe zone was important for the other survivors, but it didn't matter much to him.

"What a terrible day... they picked a bad day."

Night Star suddenly murmured to himself.

He had previously suggested to Aunt Xu tide that it would be best to leave a day or two earlier, but the military region's coordinated rescue team needed time, and Company Commander Li had done his best for them.

Since that's the case, Ye Xingluo didn't insist any further.

Anyway, this day was inevitable, whether in a city reduced to ruins or a so-called safe zone.

"dong dong dong..."

The sound of climbing could be heard from below.

Ye Xinglu looked in the direction of the sound and saw Anna's flushed little face.

It seems... the stored magic power has been completely digested.

"Starfall, aren't we leaving yet?"

Seeing that Ye Xingluo didn't move, Anna had no choice but to press herself against him and satisfy herself.

"In a little while, after Anna has eaten her fill," Ye Xinglu gently stroked Anna's loose hair. "Remember to save some magic power, because we won't be able to replenish Anna's magic power for a while."

"why?"

Anna was panting.

"You'll find out soon..."

"Night Starfall said softly."

"Tick tock...tick tock..."

Fine raindrops fell from the dark sky, pattering against Anna's smooth back.

It's raining.

Night Star looked up at the sky again...

The dark purple crack that stretched across the sky seemed to have become even deeper.

...

Chapter 266 The Storm Is Brewing

Raindrops pattered against the car window, and the road ahead appeared as a vast expanse of white.

With a thunderous roar, thousands of tons of water crashed down to the earth, as if a dam in the sky had been opened.

The city was deserted, with only the moving vehicles bringing a little life to this lonely place.

A cold wind, mixed with raindrops, blew in, chilling to the bone, causing the survivors inside the vehicle to instinctively wrap themselves tighter in their clothes.

Despite the harsh weather, the torrential rain and lightning did not dampen the survivors' enthusiasm and jubilant expressions.

The crowded carriage was bustling with activity. The survivors whispered among themselves, their eyes gleaming.

The cruel days are gone, and a brighter future is on the horizon.

Everyone was thinking that.

A bolt of lightning flashed and disappeared in the clouds, followed by a deafening explosion that split the roadside trees in two.

This was the first time the survivors had witnessed the power of lightning.

Seemingly oblivious to the danger of the lightning, many people looked out of the car with amazement and curiosity, exclaiming things like "Awesome!", "Holy crap!", and "Yamete!"

A child's crying could be heard from inside the noisy carriage.

The sleeping baby was startled awake by the thunder and cried loudly. The woman holding the baby tried to soothe him with gentle words, but to no avail. In desperation, she had to pull off her shirt and feed the baby some milk.

As the woman moved, suddenly a few furtive eyes appeared around her, staring at the clothes she lifted.

The child's cries grew louder and louder, and the woman could only sigh inwardly.

"What are you looking at?"

The girl next to the woman cried out and took off her coat, covering herself completely.

"Tch, mind your own business."

The men looked away in disappointment, muttering curses and swearing.

"Thank you."

As the woman felt grateful, she noticed that the child had stopped crying and was staring out of the car with wide, round eyes.

She turned her head and saw two bright beams of light suddenly appear in the rain outside.

It was a gigantic car that a woman couldn't describe in words, with a futuristic design, a beast-like roaring engine, and a size even larger than a military truck, instantly captivating her gaze.

The others stared wide-eyed at the slowly passing steel behemoth, their mouths agape in shock.

what is that?

They couldn't help but wonder, watching intently as the sleek rear of the windmill disappeared from their sight.

"come yet?"

Company Commander Li looked at the approaching phantom behind him and said with a sigh of relief.

The guild leaders seemed to value Ye Xingluo highly; if he hadn't returned to the safe zone with them, they would definitely have invited him for tea.

Just then, the phantom passed by the truck where Company Commander Li was, splashing mud high into the air, which landed on the window next to Company Commander Li.

"Still so carefree..." Company Commander Li couldn't help but sigh with a wry smile. "Hopefully, once we reach the safe zone, we can keep a bit more low-key."

He then looked at the increasingly dark sky ahead and the tree trunks beside him that were almost bent into right angles by the wind, and frowned.

The weather is really bad, it's almost like a typhoon.

As Company Commander Li stared blankly at the frantically swaying windshield wipers, the driver next to him squinted at the blurry road ahead and suddenly slammed on the brakes.

How do you drive?

Company Commander Li, who wasn't wearing a seatbelt, had a close encounter with the driver's seat in front of him, and turned around to curse angrily.

"The road ahead is blocked."

The driver felt wronged. "You're blaming me for not wearing a seatbelt in the front passenger seat?"

Company Commander Li raised his reddened forehead and looked ahead. It turned out that a tree trunk that had been bent over by the strong wind was blocking his way.

"Hiss..." Company Commander Li touched his forehead, gasped, and said in a cursing tone, "Today is really not peaceful."

Clearing roadblocks in a storm is a real hassle.

"Is this...a death wish?"

The driver next to me suddenly said.

Company Commander Li looked up and saw that the phantom that had just passed them was rushing towards the obstacles in the road without slowing down at all, as if it had not noticed anything ahead.

But then, something happened that left them speechless.

The thick tree trunk blocking the middle of the road was strangely suspended in mid-air, then thrown to the side, as if it had sensed someone's approach and jumped halfway to make way.

"What are you standing there for? Drive!"

Company Commander Li withdrew his arm from the handlebars and urged the dazed driver beside him.

"Oh."

The driver finally snapped out of his daze, responded, started the engine, and subconsciously glanced to the side of the road.

It was because of this sudden roadblock that the Wraith was at the very front of all the vehicles, leading the convoy through the torrential rain.

Li Lianchang, who was a little worried about whether the driver in front knew the way, gradually relaxed after the Phantom passed several intersections. He glanced at the shaky road signs outside the car and lay back on the seat.

We should arrive at our destination in about ten minutes...

Feeling a bit sleepy, Company Commander Li fastened his seatbelt, preparing to take a short nap.

"Dong dong."

There seemed to be a gentle knock on the car door.

"With such heavy rain, who's outside?"

Company Commander Li turned his head, his eyes not yet fully closed, and saw a thick, dark shadow projected onto the car window.

His suddenly constricted pupils revealed immense terror.

...

"I haven't followed you for a while, you've improved a lot."

Ye Xinglu patted Ai Yi's head and praised her.

The girl lowered her head, her fingers fiddling with the hem of her skirt, her cheeks slightly flushed, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

The method of clearing the roadblocks was naturally Xiao Aiyi's doing.

As a Star-Chosen One capable of using telekinesis, Ai Yi has made significant progress without Ye Xinglu noticing.

"It's all thanks to Xingluo."

Ai Yi's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

Compared to her more outgoing younger sister Ellie, Ai's gentle personality remains unchanged.

However, compared to her previous life, Ai's strength is now a level higher.

After resolving her inner conflict, the girl's progress was nothing short of miraculous.

After speaking, Ye Xingluo sat quietly in the center of the hall, seemingly waiting for something.

The beautiful and charming women also fell silent, surrounding Ye Xingluo like stars around the moon, their reverent gazes as if they were looking at an unparalleled emperor.
