Late at night, a vehicle so dirty its appearance was indiscernible, arrived at the gates of S City's base.
Not until seeing the familiar gate and the inspection booth did Lu Hao truly breathe a sigh of relief.
On their return journey, they had to pass through a mandatory county town, which had become a vast expanse of water. The drainage system was likely damaged, and the low-lying terrain had caused the already melted snow from the surroundings to flow into the area, submerging nearly all the roads.
The two had no choice but to detour for a great distance. Even so, the flooding was so severe that they relied entirely on Lian Jiyue's metal element ability to lay temporary bridges, allowing their vehicle to pass safely.
