Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Arrival in Luo An City

Translator: 549690339

“Since they don’t know we’ve spotted them, let’s pretend we don’t know either and continue heading to Luo An City!”

Upon knowing that they’re only over a hundred kilometers away from Luo An

City,           became restless and wanted to go back home directly.

Since the apocalypse, he had no idea of his parents’ condition except for their conversation that afternoon.

The subsequent journey was uneventful, and they arrived in Luo An City smoothly.

“We can’t go back like this. This eagle overhead has been circling continuously.

If we don’t kill it, our whereabouts will be exposed!”

As soon as they entered the city, Du Gang stopped the car and furrowed his eyebrows at the sky.

“This eagle is flying too high, at least a thousand meters from the ground. My telekinesis can’t reach it. Can you fly?”

Chu Zixuan asked calmly.

Du Gang shook his head: “I can’t fly. I can try to jump…”

But he negated himself after finishing his sentence.

Now that he became a giant, with a height of ten meters, he could probably jump a hundred meters in one go if he exerted strength, but a thousand meters seemed too exaggerated. Besides, the huge wind resulting from his massive body could easily allow the eagle to dodge numerous times.

“Throw a stone at it!”

After getting out of the car, Chu Zixuan picked up a stone from the ground and handed it to him.

Du Gang’s eyes lit up, thinking that it was a good idea.

“However, you might not be able to throw it that high without transforming, right? But if you transform, you’ll expose yourself!”

After thinking for a bit, Chu Zixuan asked, “Shall we go back and talk it out with them?”

“Alright!”

Du Gang threw the stone away, reseated himself in the car, and said with annoyance, “Alright. Let’s turn back to see what they want. If they want to capture us, we’ll eliminate them!”

Upon hearing this, Chu Zixuan hurriedly got into the car and turned it around to go back the way they came.

“Captain, the car ahead has turned around and is coming toward us. What should we do?”

The man who had been keeping an eye on the computer monitor quickly asked.

“Buzz–”

After hearing this, the captain stepped on the brake, glanced at the monitor, and smilingly said, “Then let’s get out of the car and wait for them here…”

A few minutes later, Du Gang and his companions stood before these three soldiers.

The eagle that had been hovering high above now lowered its altitude and was flying around at a height of over a hundred meters. “Is there anything you need from us since you’ve been following us?”

As soon as he exited the vehicle, Du Gang directly asked.

The captain exchanged a glance with his partner and asked, “What happened in Xingyuan County last night?”

“Xingyuan County…”

Du Gang shook his head: “We don’t know either. We simply passed by there in the morning!” The captain furrowed his brows, “Who are you guys?”

“We? We’re students!”

“Students?”

The partner looked bewilderedly at the sturdy man opposite to him.

Are students so formidable now?

“Is that eagle yours?”

pointed at the eagle in the sky and said, “It has been following us the whole way, isn’t that enough?”

The captain nodded, turned to a man who was lying unconscious and rolling his eyes, and ordered, “Hawk, come back!”

“Caw!”

After the eagle in the sky screeched, the man on the ground suddenly came to. At the same time, the eagle, seemingly in shock, flapped its wings frantically and flew off into the distance.

“We’re heading to Luo An City now. Can you wait for ten minutes before leaving?”

Du Gang stared at the three men, making the request in a flat tone.

“Kid, you…”

The partner looked angrily about to curse, but was stopped by their captain.

“Alright, you go first!”

Seeing that the captain had given the order, the other two men kept their mouths shut.

Upon seeing this, Du Gang nodded, got back in the car with Chu Zixuan, and headed for Luo An City.

It wasn’t until they had left that the partner said indignantly, “Captain, you just let them go like that?”

The man called Hawk rubbed his temple and asked, “Captain, should I summon another hawk to track them?”

“No need!”

The captain shook his head and sighed, “You know about my ability. I can sense danger. Before this, I only felt a little danger from the skinny man driving the car, and not that much from the sturdy man…”

“However, when he said that last sentence, my sixth sense kept warning me not to refuse his request, or we would die!”

“What?”

The partner stared at him incredulously, “Really? Even you can’t beat him?”

The captain shook his head bitterly, “My ability doesn’t lie. That man is too strong. The danger level he gives off is even more intense than any Kong I’ve ever seen…”

“More dangerous than Kong???”

The partner and Hawk were shocked.

Kong was a former sergeant of their unit. His gifted power allowed him to transform into a large gorilla. As a result, he received substantial training from the military and was one of the eleven Orange Level power-users that Wang Dezhen had spoken of. Kong was at the top rank, the Orange Third Rank!

Having re-seated themselves in the car, Du Gang was too lazy to care about what the three soldiers thought of him. As long as the eagle was not watching, that was all that mattered.

Soon, the car smoothly entered Luo An City. In just two days, the city had turned into ruins. It looked as if it had been abandoned for a long time. Even weeds had broken through the ground and reached outside. The trees by the road, looking as if they had received some sort of supplements, had grown to forty meters tall. Du Gang even saw a tree over a hundred meters tall far off.

Following Du Gang’s directions, the car navigated through several twists and turns and went into a residential compound in the city.

After getting out of the car, Du Gang looked around and then sighed with relief.

Because he didn’t see many insects around, nor signs of destruction caused by them. Even a car parked in the yard was still intact.

Without thinking too much, Du Gang hurriedly ran toward the building, pulling out the key that he had been carrying with him. As soon as he got to the door, he quickly put the key in. With a “click,” the door opened.

“Dad! Mom!”

called out, but there was no response.

The living room was just like how he remembered it from when he was in school.

He hastily searched around but didn’t find anyone.

At this point, Chu Zixuan walked in.

“Stop searching. I’ve scanned the place. There’s no one in the building!”

Hearing this, Du Gang frowned, “Did you notice any anomalies?”

Chu Zixuan nodded, “Indeed, there’s something strange. The food in many rooms is gone. It doesn’t seem like it was stolen, as there are no forcible break-ins. Rather, it appears that the food was taken away by the homeowners themselves.. Your parents might have left before the disaster struck!”
