Gu Ying did not say anything.
He only quietly held MO Ruyue’s hand tightly. He was extremely glad that they had found each other again before such a disaster happened.
If MO Ruyue had not come to find him, he should still be exterminating the remnants of the blood tower. At the very least, he would not have come to the great north, which was nearly a thousand miles away.
‘Mother, what’s going on outside?”
San Bao’s voice came from the carriage.
Before MO Ruyue left the carriage, she had told them not to leave the carriage and not to look outside.
The babies trusted MO Ruyue unconditionally, so even at such an urgent time, they still stayed in the carriage and only Da Bao came forward to ask. “Something happened outside, but it hasn’t affected us for the time being. When everything is fine, Mother will personally explain it to you, so for now, you should obediently stay in the carriage.”
She needed to pay close attention to the changes in the situation outside. Now was not the time to be distracted by her babies.
“Okay, I’ll help Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu take care of my younger siblings.” Da Bao said in a serious tone.
The rest of the babies were practically hugging into a ball, tightly protected in the arms of the Liu couple.
Si Bao and Tang Tang could not help but shiver. However, they bit their lips tightly for fear that their words would distract their mother.
They only knew now why their mother had brought them out. It seemed like they had come to avoid the disaster outside. However, they didn’t know if they had managed to avoid it or what would happen next.
As the first fireball emerged from the clouds, it was followed by a second one, a third one…
More and more fireballs fell from the sky, burning the thick clouds that were pressing down to pieces.
At this time, MO Ruyue’s carriage was parked on the official road, only ten miles away from the nearest town. She had delayed for a while, but there were already faint cries and shouts coming from the distance.
Looking in the direction of the town, there was a cloud of dust. It seemed that other carriages and horses were rushing over.
“Ying, drive the car up the mountain.” MO Ruyue said decisively.
Gu Ying also pulled the reins and led the carriage away from the mountain road, directly turning into a small path up the mountain.
It was the middle of winter, and the trees in the north had become extremely dry and dehydrated. Once a mountain fire broke out, it would definitely be a dead end.
Logically speaking, MO Ruyue had already chosen to walk on the main road, far away from the forest. Going up the mountain like this was no different from seeking death.
However, MO Ruyue still had her final trump card, which was her space.
If there was really an emergency, she could just enter the space. She was not completely ignorant of the outside world after entering the space. Even if there was a mountain fire, there was food and water in the space. There was enough supplies, and it would not be a problem for everyone to live in there for a lifetime.
Now, the people in the city were fleeing. If she disappeared on the official road, it was hard to guarantee that it would not cause a new round of panic.
Even at this time, MO Ruyue still had a strong sense of self-protection. She didn’t want to reveal his final secret to others.
Other than knowing that MO Ruyue had a backup plan, Gu Ying would also obey her unconditionally. Even if it was a raging mountain fire now, he would not hesitate to drive the car in.
The babies in the carriage could clearly feel their bodies leaning back. The carriage was not moving very fast, and they could feel that the carriage was going uphill.
“Big Brother, are we going up the mountain?” San Bao asked in a low voice.
None of them went to open the car doors or windows. Although they had all kinds of doubts in their hearts, they still unconditionally believed in MO Ruyue.
“Yes, Mother must have her own intentions. Let’s not talk too much and not distract Mother.”
Da Bao comforted them in a low voice, but he didn’t know that MO Ruyue and Gu Ying had heard everything they said.
Gu Ying tilted his head and glanced at MO Ruyue. Her expression was originally extremely serious, but now, she couldn’t help but tear up. She looked proud and gratified.
“You’ve taught them well.” Gu Ying mouthed to MO Ruyue.
“No, they’ve always been very sensible and kind children. I should say that I’ve been redeemed by them.”
MO Ruyue shook her head and also mouthed a reply.
Or rather, it could be said that they had achieved success with each other.
Gu Ying didn’t continue speaking. He turned his head and continued to look at the road ahead, driving the carriage up the mountain at a fast speed.
Of course, he didn’t just head straight for the top of the mountain. Instead, he quickly identified the terrain. As he continued to head up, he also continued to head north. He even deliberately walked into the naturally formed fire shelters.
The mountain range here was much smaller than the one in the south. It was easy to cross one mountain and enter another after walking a distance.
At this moment, the ground suddenly began to shake. A rumbling sound chased from behind, which also made MO Ruyue’s expression change. She suddenly stood up, the tip of her foot touching the shaft of the carriage, and with a flip, she directly climbed up to the roof of the carriage.
She looked back, and her face instantly turned pale.
A huge fireball with thick smoke came crashing toward them. Perhaps the real meteorite inside was not that big, but the flames produced by the friction of the atmosphere made it look ferocious and terrifying.
No, it seemed like he had to use his last move!
MO Ruyue didn’t want to expose herself so early, but now that things had come to this, she couldn’t take the risk to keep the secret. After all, everyone in the car was her family, and there was no one else.
With a single thought, the carriage disappeared from its original spot.
The fireball in the sly also fell directly not long after, smashing three kilometers away from MO Ruyue.
The scorching air wave pushed outward, knocking down all the trees and houses within a five-kilometer radius. Those who failed to escape in time were vaporized before they could even scream in pain.
It was just that the babies and the Liu couple could not see such a tragic scene. Even MO Ruyue and Gu Ying only had time to see the fireball fly over their heads and smash in the direction they had to pass through.
The surroundings turned dark, but light quickly returned. The babies didn’t know what had happened, but they subconsciously snuggled deeper into the Liu couple’s arms.
Although the Liu couple was also very nervous, they protected the babies tightly with both hands. They had a thought in their hearts. If a disaster really happened, they would risk their old bones to protect their babies’ safety.
After the initial tension, they realized that the carriage had stopped.
Mo Ruyue and GuYing didn’t say anything. It was quiet outside. Without her call, the people in the carriage didn’t dare to go out to see what was happening.
“My babies, don’t be in a hurry. I’ll let you out later.”
MO Ruyue’s voice came from outside. Her tone seemed to have returned to her usual calmness. What was incredible was that upon hearing her voice, the babies and the Liu couple also inexplicably calmed down.
Even though they couldn’t see what was happening outside, as long as MO Ruyue said that it was fine, it would really be fine.
“Bing ‘Er, are you going to show your cards to the babies?” Gu Ying asked again.
He wasn’t worried that someone would betray MO Ruyue, but he was worried that they would think that she was a monster and start to distance themselves from her. She would definitely suffer a huge blow.
“I’ll have to say it sooner or later. Although I’m planning to wait for them to grow up and mature, the situation is forcing me to do so.”
MO Ruyue was not willing to take such a risk, but the situation was not in her control, so she could only let nature take its course..
