Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 115 - 8: The Queen Returns (Part 8)

The passage was very long, they had been walking for a while. Li Shuning checked her watch by torchlight, they had been walking for almost two hours. Although very tired, not a single person asked to rest.

This was a large-scale project. Where did this passage lead to? And why did the Li Family need such a long passage?

Seemingly seeing Li Shuning’s confusion, Li Qing sighed and said, "This passage was built when your grandfather was young. It was very chaotic back then. Although our Li Family held a special status, having a backup route was also good. Your grandfather kept reminding me, I am in charge of the family, and he told me about this place, so I made some modifications, which is why there is food stored in the passage."

After walking for more than half an hour, Li Qing finally stopped.

He searched on the passage ground for a long time, and the dirt wall in front slowly moved away, revealing an iron door.

The iron door had a circular steel ring the size of a steering wheel.

Li Qing grabbed the circular steel ring, turned it three times to the left, once to the right, then two times to the left, two times to the right, and once to the left again, suddenly pushed forward, and finally, light appeared before everyone’s eyes.

After exiting the tunnel, Li Shuning discovered that the three of them were in a basement.

Walking out of the basement, Li Shuning glanced outside the window and found it to be a familiar place; it was indeed the villa area she once stayed in.

It’s just that the villa they were now in wasn’t the one under the Li Family’s name.

Li Shuning truly admired the people of the Li Family.

"Dad, our villa is over there. I’ll go have a look, we have a good car there. With that car, we’ll be a bit safer on the road."

Li Qing nodded: "Okay, we’ll go together."

"Dad, you and Mom wait here. I’ve comprehended some uses of the Space System superpower, I can escape if need be, and if there’s danger, we all have our means of self-defense, but Mom doesn’t. Staying here is the safest, and if something seems wrong, you can retreat into the tunnel; the exit isn’t closed yet."

"Alright, you go ahead then."

Li Shuning quickly headed out, breathing a sigh of relief; that car was actually in her Qiankun Necklace, but it would indeed be handy for their current travel, if Li Qing insisted on following...

After Li Shuning left, Li Qing hugged Shen Yue.

Shen Yue had been married to Li Qing for many years; she could tell what he was thinking with a single gesture or glance.

"Qing, are you afraid that Ningning won’t come back?"

Li Qing smiled wryly: "She’s our daughter, we know her character, but didn’t Yanyan make a move against you? All our supplies are in Ningning’s hands, if she really leaves on her own, I think I could understand, one has to fend for oneself, heaven forbids if not. However, for us two, we will truly have to rely on each other."

As they waited, more than an hour passed. Evidently, the Li Family Villa was quite near, even an accident wouldn’t take this long; Li Shuning said she could escape, so she should have been back by now.

Unexpectedly, in such a dreadful era, both the elder and younger daughters had left them. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Forget it, Yue’er, there are still some supplies in this villa, we can last a while with them. Let’s pack up, there’s a jeep in the garage, we shall set off."

Shen Yue choked a bit with emotions, but she nodded.

Just as they were about to move, there was a noise outside, the gate seemed to open, and they heard the sound of a vehicle coming in.

The couple’s eyes lit up with surprise.

Cautiously peeking out the window, it was indeed Li Shuning, jumping down from a formidable off-road vehicle.

Li Shuning walked briskly in.

Seeing Li Qing and Shen Yue, she apologized, "Dad, Mom, sorry for making you wait so long. There were a few zombies in that villa, after resolving it, I checked and found the car was low on fuel. I remembered there’s a gas station nearby with few people, so I tried my luck there, and luckily enough, there was a tanker truck, all full."

Li Shuning was finding a reasonable explanation for the oil in her Qiankun Ring. Of course, she had calculated the time precisely.

Seeing Li Shuning’s bright eyes, the couple couldn’t help but smile.

Li Qing straightforwardly said, "Ningning, I’m sorry, I doubted you earlier, thought you left on your own. It was wrong of me, not trusting you enough."

Li Shuning paused, then laughed: "Dad, this is a chaotic era; it’s right to stay alert. It’s my fault, I didn’t inform you before heading to the gas station. Dad, are there any supplies here? If not, then let’s set off."

Half an hour later, the eye-catching off-road vehicle drove out of the villa complex.

This car was like a mobile tank, any stray zombies encountered on the road were directly knocked away, and while the zombies were thrown far, the car had not a single scratch.

Having checked the map earlier, Li Shuning promptly turned onto a rather remote road, heading toward Baijing County.

This car was so conspicuous, encountering some people along the way, their eyes lit up seeing it. They dared not approach though, as the car didn’t seem simple; charging towards it without the vehicle stopping would be certain death.

Passing a gas station, Li Shuning originally intended to stop by and check it out, but before entering the station, her spiritual power sensed something inside the station.

Indeed, another group had taken over this place.

In such a chaotic era, while Li Shuning’s own strength couldn’t match those who awoke superpowers, her spiritual power was impressive. However, against a crowd, she wouldn’t fare well.

Ordinarily, drivers passing a gas station would want to check for fuel, or perhaps there might be some food in the station.

However, Li Shuning was an exception. Her Qiankun Necklace had plentiful fuel and food.

As the assertive car stopped momentarily, then accelerated and roared past, the people in the station were quite unsettled.

After Li Shuning drove away, the gas station gate suddenly opened, and a group of tattooed men charged out, fierce and menacing. Yet the speedy car left them helpless – they thought they had caught a big fish.

Li Qing, who had a reconnaissance background, noticed the abnormality at the gas station, the area was too clean.

Initially, when Li Shuning stopped, he thought his elder daughter intended to enter. He didn’t want to say anything, intending to let her experience and grow; he had a gun, and both he and Li Shuning had superpowers, along with such a vehicle, they weren’t afraid as long as it was typical circumstances. Unexpectedly, Li Shuning just drove away.

This made Li Qing see her in a new light.

Looking at Li Shuning, Li Qing sighed; both his daughters, he couldn’t quite understand them now.

Nevertheless, Ningning still had them in her heart, she still had feelings for them.
