Cultivator in the Last Days-Chapter 243: Returning (2)

Before the earthquake, the cultivators will definitely advance slowly.

At least, it was harder than now.

Yu Shi Lan was not entirely sure about this, but this is what her instinct was telling her. And Han Mu Xia should have been in the Foundation Establishment Stage for some time, which tell a lot about her talent.

Still, Yu Shi Lan didn’t try to ask.

The two of them didn’t try to use Qi anymore and instead walked like ordinary people and started chatting about various topics.

Or it was more like, Han Mu Xia was gossiping around.

And many of her topics were things that Yu Shi Lan couldn’t understand.

"There are a lot of people who come out in the past two days because the temperature seems warmer. Even if there are a lot of snows, I see more people wandering around when I come to City A today.

Oh right, I don’t stay in City A before, that’s why I don’t know the location. It’s also the problem of the city itself! Why made a city so complicated that their citizen didn’t even know the direction!" Han Mu Xia raised her chin righteously.

Yu Shi Lan looked at Han Mu Xia’s method of shifting the blame speechlessly. It was obvious that Han Mu Xia should have done this a lot in the past.

As for whom Han Mu Xia used as the scapegoat...

At this moment, Yu Shi Lan felt that she didn’t really want to know.

"Before this, I came from City B and there’s a base that fell down over there. It seems that the management is doing things incorrectly and there are too many people who come out because they couldn’t stand it. Who made them let the citizen stayed in the car and burn gasoline all the time. Even if they’re close to the hospital, it’s really impossible for ordinary people to withstand the cold..."

"Hmmm?" Yu Shi Lan was startled when she heard Han Mu Xia mentioning the word hospital and cars.

She knew very well that in her previous life, she was staying in the hospital for an extended period of time. Afterwards, her malnourished body was clearly not suitable to survive in such a cold environment.

So she was huddling up in the hospital as much as possible, trying her best to survive in that cold environment.

And there were also many other survivors who gathered around.

It was a makeshift base at most.

Yu Shi Lan didn’t remember who lead them anymore because it has been such a long time. What she remembered was that there were a large number of cars they gathered before the snow piled up, giving protection and warmth for them as they lived inside the car.

By activating the engine and adjusting the heater inside the car, many people survived this way.

The problem arises when the gasoline was used up.

Because the extreme cold mercilessly threw them in this cold world and they had to figure out how to find food and keep warmth by themselves.

The person who had the idea in the beginning and lead them chose not to bother with their needs after a while.

That was why Yu Shi Lan and the others chose to leave this makeshift base when the temperature grew warmer. They couldn’t stand it anymore and if they stayed there any longer, they would end up starving to death.

Her life was already miserable enough and Yu Shi Lan didn’t want to die.

So she followed the crowd.

And in the process, she met with some familiar people who tried to take advantage of her. Either snatching her food or her blanket, thinking that her life and death would not matter to them in the slightest bit.

Yu Shi Lan sighed when she recalled this past.

She knew very well that it was because of this that she didn’t manage to have a good life.

But it was also during this period of time that she first make her attempt to fight back and injured the people who wanted to take advantage of her.

Because she wanted to live.

And she didn’t want to suffer so much.

Having felt how difficult life is, especially with Yu Shi Lan being so weak, she just wanted to make her life a bit better through fighting back.

Now that she thought about this, she had done quite well in her previous life.

At least... she didn’t give up.

If she had given up when facing them, Yu Shi Lan was sure that she would not have the chance to enter the cultivation world as she would have died many years before she could even have the chance to go.

"Do you know anyone from City B?" Han Mu Xia saw Yu Shi Lan’s interest and grinned. "They should arrive in City A Base in a few days. I arrive faster because Master is impatient and want to see Mu Ting Ye as soon as possible."

Moreover, the three of them were cultivators and it was naturally impossible for them to walk as slow as this group of people.

These people barely survived in the cold temperature with minimum resources.

They were barely hanging on for their lives.

But even in such difficult situation, they were still fighting for their lives and struggled, so Han Mu Xia and the other two chose not to disturb them. They have their own business and cultivators were not really people who were persistent in earning merits.

What they wanted to do in life was just to achieve their own goal. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

None of them were that warmhearted, so they didn’t help them.

Besides... Han Mu Xia’s face flashed with disgust when she thought about the few people who were still busy ordering others even when they were all clearly the same survivors in that batch.

"It’s nothing." Yu Shi Lan shook her head, her eyes flickered. "I don’t think there will be anyone whom I really want to meet among them."
