The journey for Su Ling and the others as they left the city center was quite difficult.
This was because of the garbage and mud left behind everywhere after the floodwaters receded, posing a significant challenge to their travel.
Fortunately, everyone had strong adaptability and responsiveness, and riding bicycles made them easy to control.
Moreover, the difficult stretches of road were not extensive, and as they gradually moved away from the direction of the department store, their onward path became increasingly easier.
Su Ling's goal was to leave Yang City and ride to the suburbs, to find a location that was open and flat, and then explain to everyone about her space and her ability to build a castle.
When she was building the castle, she would need someone to ensure her safety nearby.
Castle construction was not an instantaneous process; it could take several hours, or even one to two days.
The speed of construction depended on the builder's ability.
While Su Ling and her group were cycling towards the suburbs, Xu Lin and the other two were heading across more than half of Yang City.
When they arrived near the cake shop where Su Ling and Gu Shangse had previously killed zombies and scavenged for cakes, they heard a rumbling sound approaching from afar.
Along with the rumbling sound, a strong gust of wind also approached, and the sky darkened as the sunlight was blocked.
Upon hearing the sound, the three of them immediately braked their bicycles, looking up to see what was making the noise.
The first thing they saw were two slender legs, striding towards them.
Following those two legs upwards, they saw a semi-circular object, and further up, a small house situated in the center of that semi-circle. The house was not large, appearing to be only big enough for two people.
Seeing this object, Xu Lin and the other two were greatly shocked, greatly surprised, and greatly bewildered.
To them, it was truly a moving house that could only be seen in science fiction movies, but now they were witnessing it with their own eyes. Novelty, shock, surprise, freshness—in short, the emotions of the three at that moment were extremely rich.
At the same time, the word "envy" also firmly occupied their minds upon seeing the mobile house.
It wasn't just the three of them who discovered the existence of the mobile house; survivors in high-rise buildings also noticed it, with many peering out of their windows to observe this new marvel of the post-apocalyptic world.
As soon as they clearly understood what this moving object was, the envy, jealousy, and greed in their eyes were unconcealed.
The mobile house continued its advance, passing directly overhead of Xu Lin and the other two, who had stopped to watch them.
The direction the mobile house was heading was precisely the direction Su Ling and her group had departed.
Watching the mobile house recede into the distance, Xu Lin and Li Yunlong exchanged glances.
It would be a lie to say they weren't envious. Everyone sought ease, and they were no exception.
However, while they had their thoughts, they didn't complain, as they were already doing quite well.
"Let's go, we need to find a place to stay before it gets dark," Li Yunlong said to Xu Lin, then turned to Zhang Miaomiao, "Hold on tight."
Zhang Miaomiao hummed in response, her uninjured hand tightly gripping Li Yunlong's waist.
It happened to be a downhill slope, and Li Yunlong, carrying Zhang Miaomiao on his bicycle, sped downwards like a gust of wind.
Xu Lin glanced back in the direction the mobile house had departed, unsure if he was looking at the mobile house or at the direction Su Ling had left.
Finally, he reluctantly retracted his gaze and looked forward, putting his feet on the pedals. "Goodbye!" With these words, he pushed off forcefully, and the bicycle moved forward.
