I Am Extraordinary Alone-Chapter 621 - 619: Car Town

Leng Kai had bypassed the small country of Re’ermai on the map, which added a significant detour to their journey and meant they would miss the charging stations on the electric highway and in the capital of Re’ermai.

Originally, he was worried that the electric charge of the pickup wouldn’t last, but it was only after Wang Ye’s reminder that Leng Kai realized that the pickup’s battery never decreased once it had entered the red zone.

At this moment, they also discovered something even more puzzling—that for several days, despite consuming a fair amount of compressed food and canned goods, none of the three of them had felt the urge to excrete, nor had they felt fatigue or hunger.

To test this hypothesis, Wang Mingxue decided not to eat or drink during one day’s journey, and indeed, 24 hours later, she didn’t experience any discomfort.

This perhaps was the world that Wei Tianyang had promised—a world without the need for survival, where time also stopped. If people no longer needed resources for survival, then labor would become pure, free from the "must-do" tasks, allowing one to seek out "want-to-do" tasks instead. By collapsing the most basic needs, people no longer had a foundation to enslave each other. The absence of "being compelled due to need" scenarios would mean most cooperation would likely shift to being "based on common ideals and demands" as a natural choice.

Wei Tianyang hadn’t overthrown anything, nor transformed anything, yet he had toppled the two foundational elements of human society: currency and power. Due to the absence of money and power, the world within the red zone had undergone a fundamental change.

After all, if a person never aged, never needed sustenance, and never felt tired, they would naturally pursue spiritual fulfillment.

It could be religion, artistic aspirations, or something else, but Leng Kai hadn’t yet seen any living people in this area. He didn’t know what changes had taken place in the lives of people under this red glow.

But at least, it certainly wasn’t as good as he thought, because if everything here was perfect, why would George have been so eager to leave? If Wei Tianyang truly was a deity who made the world a better place, they wouldn’t have ended up here.

Using just one pickup, they spent nearly 19 days crossing Heisai State and reached the border of Etolia.

Different from the previous desolation, when they were still more than 40 kilometers from Etolia, the road was already filled with many groups of pilgrims setting up camps.

They drove travel cars, SUVs, pickups, and various other vehicles; some were traveling with companions, others were with family—it was a massive throng of people, converging into a small town formed by cars, where there was no need for food or water, and they began to revel even before reaching the holy city.

As Leng Kai and his companions drove into this car town, people by the roadside waved and smiled at them, and some enthusiastic young people in their twenties even sprayed champagne and beer on them.

"Damn... these idiots," Wang Ye cursed.

"Keep it down, we need to blend in for now," Wang Mingxue turned back. "That’s it, I’ll get out and investigate, ask them why they’re not moving into the city."

Leng Kai agreed with Wang Mingxue’s suggestion, found an empty spot, reversed the car, and parked.

Wang Mingxue opened the car door and got out, while Leng Kai stood on the other side.

"I’ll go by myself. Keep an eye on Wang Ye; I really worry that he might start a massacre if he gets out," she said. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"Go ahead, I’ll stay here with him and watch the car," Leng Kai replied.

Wang Mingxue then walked into the streets formed by cars, observing the people.

These believers had come from all corners of the globe, and for some reason, ever since they drove into this crowded yet orderly car town, Wang Mingxue felt that these people all shared a certain trait.

She hadn’t figured it out in a half-step, but as she walked along the street, people started greeting her.

"Divine providence protect you! Praise you! Praise this world! Sister!" a woman from the East Continent said cheerily.

This woman looked neatly dressed, her hair coiled up, wearing a dark red women’s suit, and she had a black luxury SUV behind her, with three children inside.

"Uh... hello, divine providence protect you!" Wang Mingxue quickly greeted.

"You look stressed. I’m Lu Hui, what’s your name?" Lu Hui asked.

"I... I’m Wang... Snow. Where’s your husband?" Wang Mingxue changed the subject.

"I’m a single mother, I was in real estate in the old world. What about you?" Lu Hui smiled.

"I was in the military..." Wang Mingxue admitted, not being very good at lying.

But the thing she feared didn’t happen. Lu Hui didn’t seem suspicious; instead, she looked hopeful.

"Oh! That’s wonderful! You’re far more useful than me! My skills and experience in clerical work from the old world are useless here, but you’re different, you’re a warrior, our Lord Divine Power needs warriors."

"So, this is the New World? I thought... we had to reach Etolia to count," Wang Mingxue said.

"Oh... I get it, you can’t hear the divine sound. Did you come here on your own?" Lu Hui’s face showed a hint of disdain.

"I... can’t hear it," Wang Mingxue admitted honestly, as lying about this would be too easily exposed.

"I can hear the divine sound, my children can’t, but it doesn’t matter. As long as you believe in divine power, the holy city will open for you, and then, everyone will find their true purpose," Lu Hui said.

"So, the divine sound will guide us to Etolia?" Wang Mingxue asked.

"Too many people in the city, that’s why those of us who came late like us have to wait outside. Now, the divine sound hasn’t rung yet, we need to wait," Lu Hui explained.

"Wait? Then... what if we just go in? What will happen? Will He send someone to stop us?" Wang Mingxue asked.

Lu Hui, hearing Wang Mingxue’s words, frowned, apparently a bit angry.

She shook her head, "No, nothing will happen."

"Then why not just go in?" Wang Mingxue asked.

"That’s the difference between humans of the old world and the chosen ones of the new world. Why do you always need someone to forcibly stop you? Why can’t you consider the big picture unselfishly? You people are always like this, given complete freedom, you just go wild, not knowing to follow the intrinsic order—you need someone to keep you in line to live properly! Disgusting!" Lu Hui scolded.

Wang Mingxue hadn’t expected Lu Hui to blurt out an insult and felt some anger herself, but she didn’t want to cause a scene there, glanced around, and others were looking over because of Lu Hui’s shouting.

"Why do you always need to plan your actions according to what others say? Where’s your mind?" Wang Mingxue laughed.

After saying this, she walked back to the car. Meanwhile, Wang Ye also got out of the car, leaning against the door, eating dried beef.

"Are you hungry?" Wang Mingxue asked.

"No, just looking for something to do," Wang Ye replied.
