The five of them deliberately kept their voices low, but the truck was close by, and the wilderness on both sides of the highway was silent and empty, so their conversation still reached Feng Ling's ears.
Feng Ling did not pay much attention to it.
When she had been weak before, she had been wary of every little disturbance. Even when facing a child, she could not help testing them again and again, unable to completely let down her guard.
But now, even if those five people outside were Xenomorphs, she could still rest in the truck with ease.
Just like in the animal kingdom—
A lion napped beneath a tree as if no one else existed;
While a herd of gazelles had to stay alert to their surroundings.

Feng Ling closed her eyes and rested for a while.
A few seconds later, she opened them again.
What Lin Pengpeng had said just now reminded her once more that Guangshan City was now fraught with hidden dangers.
It was strange. Faced with the same Maze contamination, the north had set up layer upon layer of checkpoints, built walls, strung up electric fences, stationed troops around the clock, and even bombed out a barren vacuum zone where not a blade of grass could grow.
Yet in the southwest, there was only a section of high wall meant to prevent refugees from flooding in. Compared to the north, its military defenses were not even half as strong.
Could it be because the Molian River lay between the country and Mogu Country, so the Military Region had lowered its guard?
...That did not seem likely,
