Zheng Chengan Shows His Hand

After passing Wang Family Town and completely leaving its sphere of control, Chu Fei could not help but let out a sigh of relief.

After passing another hill, Chu Fei looked back into the distance, his thoughts churning.

The once-prosperous Red Pine City Cluster, a region with a population of over twenty million, had suddenly descended into chaos. In less than four months, its prosperity had vanished, leaving devastation everywhere.

There were now only around fifty thousand people following the migration convoy. At the rear of the convoy, Zheng Chengan and Cheng Buyun brought up the rear.

With these two Inspectors guarding the rear, it was clear that there was no one left behind them.

In other words, only about fifty thousand people from the entire Red Pine City Cluster were currently evacuating. Even that was only possible because they had transport vehicles. Otherwise, there probably would not even have been five thousand.

Among these fifty thousand people, there were already very few true ordinary people. At the very least, one had to have broken through the First Limit, reaching 7.8 to 7.9, to keep up with the migration convoy.

The convoy had now traveled more than a hundred kilometers beyond Wang Family Town. Their destination ahead, Iron Fan Pass—the gateway to Azure Cloud City—was still around a hundred kilometers away.

According to the map, Iron Fan Pass was just over two hundred kilometers from Wang Family Town, but that was only the straight-line distance. In reality, adding another ten or even twenty percent was perfectly normal. Some routes could even be fifty percent longer.

By this point, most people could no longer walk. In fact, everyone had begun to tire after leaving Wang Family Town; they had merely gritted their teeth and endured.

It was not just the people.
