This formed a sharp contrast with the two of them, who were dressed in rags and covered in dust.

"There are actually people...whose clothes aren't even dirty in this situation?" Lin Zong obviously found it unusual.

"Did I hit my head today?" Li Yuan touched the back of his head and said, "I think I saw a fairy."

"Hello." Zhang Yunqing stood in front of the two of them and greeted them.

"Um... hello." The two were obviously confused.

Lin Zong looked at her and asked, "There was an earthquake just now. Are you a little girl like you not injured?"

Zhang Yunqing shook his head mysteriously: "Of course not. Before the disaster, I practiced in a Taoist temple in the mountains and learned some skills to protect myself."

Taoist temple?

The two people opposite each other looked at each other, half believing and half doubting, and for no reason they thought of the "locals" who had exchanged information with them using sesame cakes two days ago.

"After the disaster, everyone moved to the imperial capital. Why didn't you go?" Zhang Yunqing asked.

Li Yuan sighed, put his hand on Lin Zong's shoulder and said, "Isn't it because the sky fortress couldn't accommodate enough people at that time? We thought that if we went to the imperial capital, we would still live on the ground, so we might as well stay in our hometown. After all, it's a plain with small earthquake amplitude. But who knew that the natural disasters would get worse every year, and we couldn't grow food. People in our hometown left one after another. Today, we can't bear it anymore, so we can only go to the imperial capital to see if we can fight for a way out..."

"Eh?" Li Yuan said, looking at Zhang Yunqing in confusion: "But then again, why didn't you go to the imperial capital?"

Zhang Yunqing straightened his hat brim guiltily: "Because I have some Taoist skills, surviving here is not a problem."

These words made the two materialists, who had grown up in a society where science was supreme, fall into deep thought.

"I seem to have seen you two days ago. Why did it take you so long to get here?" Zhang Yunqing asked puzzledly.

"Oh, this is because we encountered some small-scale earthquakes on the road two days ago, which blocked the road. We had to take a detour, but we still almost got into trouble after taking so many detours." Li Yuan said.

But as he was talking, he remembered the Chongming bird that had just saved them. His eyes lit up and he said to Zhang Yunqing, "To be honest, we were almost swallowed by the crack just now. Guess what happened?"

He said excitedly: "Two Chongming birds rescued us!"

"Oh~oh." Zhang Yunqing nodded indifferently.

"Eh? You don't believe it?" Li Yuan saw Zhang Yunqing's indifferent reaction and couldn't help but stiffen his neck: "Chongming bird, the mythical bird in myths and legends!"

"How could I not believe it?" Zhang Yunqing said with a smile, "Because I raised him."

Lin Zong:......

Li Yuan: Now it’s my turn to not believe it.

Seeing this, Zhang Yunqing waved his hand nonchalantly: "Don't worry about it. I want to ask you something. Have you seen any other survivors along the way?"

Lin Zong: "Yes, there are, but very few. We are probably the last group to migrate to the imperial capital..."

As they were talking, the temperature began to drop rapidly, quietly enough to be felt.

"Eh~~" Li Yuan shuddered. "Oh my god, the temperature is dropping again! Where are our bags?"

Lin Zong's face suddenly changed, and they both ran towards the crack in the ground, very panicked.

The two searched among the broken dirt for a long time, and finally pounded the ground helplessly: "It seems that it fell down there."

The bag was not found, and the temperature was getting lower and lower. A layer of despair was cast in the eyes of the two.

Lin Zong said decisively: "Fifty kilometers, we will return to Shulin City. There are cotton clothes under the ruins of that square!"

Li Yuan pointed at the mountain bike that was crushed by the rocks and said in a frustrated tone: "It's too late. In just half an hour, the temperature will drop to minus 30 degrees. We won't be able to survive."

Lin Zong glanced at him and said, "Hurry up, or time will run out."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked forward. When he passed by Zhang Yunqing, he reminded him, "The temperature is going to drop soon, aren't you going yet?"

Zhang Yunqing also heard the conversation between the two clearly, so he said: "I will take you back."

Under the surprised gazes of the two, she patted the spirit beast bag, and two double-headed birds flew out of the pocket.

Before the two of them could react, he grabbed the person and flew towards Shu Lincheng.

“Ah!” Li Yuan screamed in fear: “Help! I’m afraid… I’m afraid I can’t die, hahaha!”

Zhang Yunqing pointed his toes, and the palm-sized white cartoon wings on his back flapped.

That’s right, this costume also has flying features!

Three minutes later, Zhang Yunqing and the other two landed in Shulin City.

After Lin Zong landed, he patted his chest with lingering fear.

Li Yuan's legs went limp and he fell to the ground. "Oh my god, my twenty-year-old fear of heights has been cured."

He looked at Zhang Yunqing next to him and said, "Are you really a cultivator?"

Zhang Yunqing nodded mysteriously.

“Master! I’m so sorry!” Li Yuan stood up and pulled Lin Zong to bow to her three times. “Thank you so much for saving my life twice! I didn’t expect that you really raised the Chongming bird!”

"You are welcome."

"I didn't expect you guys could even raise a divine beast? Does that mean..."

Zhang Yunqing couldn't help but interrupt him: "Shouldn't you go find some clothes?"

"Oh! Yes!"

Lin Zong and Li Yuan had searched for supplies here before, so they naturally knew where the cotton coats were. In less than ten minutes, the two of them ran back wearing torn cotton coats, and they also had a few more down jackets in their hands that looked relatively intact.

"Master, I found this for you. Put it on quickly." Li Yuan handed it to her as if he was presenting a treasure.

Although Zhang Yunqing was not cold, he thought about it and put it on. "Thank you."

The three of them lit a fire in a leeward area that had collapsed into a triangle to keep warm. By this time the temperature outside had dropped to minus ten degrees Celsius. It was dry and icy without snow.

Next to the fire, Lin Zong added a few more pieces of wood. He looked at Zhang Yunqing beside him meaningfully.

Just then, Zhang Yunqing looked up at him, revealing a pair of bright eyes, and asked him, "Aren't you afraid of another earthquake if you stay here?"

"No." Lin Zong shook his head: "According to the law, the next earthquake will be at least half a month later."

"Oh? You guys originally lived nearby?"

Lin Zong shook his head: "No, but it's not far away."

Zhang Yunqing nodded, "Then do you know how many people there are within a hundred kilometers?"

Lin Zong lowered his head and coughed, "We don't know about this, but we have only met about ten people along the way. After all, those who can move away have basically moved away, and those who are left are the elderly who are unwilling to move and are just waiting to die."
