Chapter 158: Hope in the Darkness
The night was deep and the forest was silent. The moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, leaving only the firelight dancing in the breeze. Beside the campfire, a group of survivors sat together, their tired figures huddled close together, trying to find a little warmth from the flames.
Most people were exhausted, their soles were already worn out after walking all day. They finally found a safe open space and stopped the Hummer not far away.
Chen Wei, Liang Zihan, Zhou Yinuo, Zhao Ren, Ji Ming, Shen Haoran and all were sitting by the campfire, cooking a simple pot of porridge with the few ingredients they had, and then sharing it with the equally exhausted survivors around them. There was no extra expression on their faces, only the tiredness of enduring the day and a hint of comfort in their eyes.
Xu Kai and Yang Ming also sat by the fire, drinking porridge in silence, not talking, only occasionally looking up into the distance.
Just then, a familiar figure walked through the woods.
"...Is it Liora?!"
Liang Zihan was the first to shout, and everyone turned around.
The figure was Liora, who had left in the morning. There was still some dust and dirt on her body, but her breathing was steady and she looked fine.
Liora looked at them, her eyes scanning the familiar faces one by one. Even though she felt a little tired, she still smiled and nodded: "I’m sorry for making you worry."
Yun Zhou quickly handed over the bowl of hot porridge in her hand: "You must be hungry, sit down and eat something first."
She did not refuse. She took the bowl of porridge and sat down next to the fire. The porridge was mixed with some dried vegetables and dry food crumbs. The taste was very light, but at this moment it made people feel extremely precious.
