The next day, they woke up naturally. 

They looked at each other, smiled, embraced, and wished they could stay like that forever. 

After breakfast, Huo Yishen checked the Hummer. There was a lot of sand and dust inside. It would take some time to clean it up. More importantly, they might encounter Lu Yu and the others at the military base. 

A car that disappeared in the sandstorm is not suitable to appear again. 

But there could be risks on the road at any time, so after some thought, they decided to take out the Predator. They could switch vehicles once they reached Huicheng. 

But the Predator attracts people’s attention, so the three people and the dog deliberately disguised themselves to avoid unnecessary trouble. 

They stored away the luxurious RV covered in dust and mud and set off in the rumbling Predator. 

They set off and headed for Huicheng. 

After turning around and coming out of the forest, they drove onto the bumpy road. 

It wasn’t long before they encountered some migrating people, each carrying their belongings, some walking, some pushing broken bicycles, and occasionally a few old cars. 

Judging from their voices, they seemed to be survivors of Guancheng, and they were going to migrate to Jiacheng or even in another place with higher altitude. 

Guancheng had a coastline; if they were migrating, other coastal cities were likely doing the same. 

This suggested that the authorities had predicted possible tectonic collisions ahead. 

The road is full of groups of migrating people, walking and stopping as slowly as a snail. There are also many troublemakers; they are throwing stones and trying to puncture their tires from time to time. 

Jiang Ning laughed it off and let them torture the Predator. Anyway, she didn’t get out of the car to create opportunities for them. 

They moved slowly, covering only fifty to sixty kilometers a day, but the three people and the dog maintained a good attitude, knowing that staying together as a family was what mattered most. 

After three days, they finally entered Huicheng’s territory. 

The route to the military base diverged from the one to the Jiacheng official base. 

95% of the people migrating choose the official base. After passing the crossroads, it became quiet all of a sudden. 

The two finally found an opportunity to drive to an uninhabited place to change cars. 

There are still about 20 kilometers to the military base. The two kept watch from the high ground, considering if the road was relatively safe. They decided to choose an ordinary off-road vehicle. 

Food is required to enter the base. The natural disaster has been going on for nine years. Even if there is ordinary flour and rice, they have already expired. Jiang Ning prepared old corn and wheat that are not in good condition, cold-resistant dried potatoes and heat-resistant dried sweet potatoes, as well as various dried vegetables. 

Pots, pans, clothes, blankets, and other items nearly filled the trunk, with even the back seats loaded. 

These things will be the survival capital of the three people and the dog in the future. 

In the last 20 kilometers, safety issues cannot be ignored. 

They tightened their helmets, kept their guns ready, and wore a bulletproof vest. 

Setting off again, Huo Yishen focused on driving, while Jiang Ning stood guard beside him, her eyes were vigilant. 

It was already evening, the sunset seemed to be stained with red blood, and there was a faint cry of crows in the distance. 

Halfway through the journey, someone in front suddenly reached out to stop the car. The three people and the dog immediately became alert and gradually slowed down. 

It seemed to be a military off-road vehicle, with two people in military uniforms standing next to it and a car repairman lying on the ground. 

They kept waving, as if they were having trouble. 

While waving, they held guns in their hands. Jiang Ning frowned. Could it be a new type of robbery? 

Huo Yishen looked at them for a few seconds. “They are soldiers; they should be from the base.” 

Jiang Ning hesitated. “Should we stop the car?” 

Huo Yishen thought for a moment. “Let’s see what they want.” 

It happened that they were going into someone else’s territory, and they were bringing a dog with them. Maybe they could ask in advance to avoid offending people without knowing it. 

They parked the car slowly, about 10 meters away from the front and back. 

Huo Yishen lowered the window, “What’s wrong?” 

There were two people next to the car. One of them was a man in his fifties, wearing a straight military uniform. His serious square face was intimidating. Judging from the insignia on his armband, he was a big shot. 

The soldier next to him was much younger and should have been his subordinate. 

Seeing Huo Yishen wearing a helmet, the subordinate became alert but still walked over and asked politely, “Hello, comrade, do you know how to repair a car?” 

“I know a little, but not much.” 

“We are from the military base and have urgent matters to attend to. We need to requisition your car.” 

Huo Yishen refused, “Sorry, we only have one car, and my family is with me.” 

The subordinate was a little embarrassed, “How about you give us a ride, and the base will compensate us for the supplies.” 

Not knowing their intentions, Huo Yishen naturally declined, “There’s no room in the car. But if you don’t mind, I can help you fix your car 

The subordinate looked at the leader and nodded after getting the leader’s consent, “We’d appreciate it.” 

Huo Yishen got out of the car and walked towards the other party’s vehicle. 

Jiang Ning was worried, so she asked Doudou to sit in the driving seat and got out of the car. 

She didn’t walk over but stood beside the car, secretly watching the other party’s every move. 

She noticed the middle-aged officer glance at her with a hint of surprise, but his expression quickly calmed down. 

Huo Yishen talked with the soldier who repaired the car for a few minutes, then returned to his car and opened the trunk to find spare parts. 

Indeed, they were from the military base, and from their ranks, they were quite high up. 

Huo Yishen decided to help, not asking for favors but just to make a good relationship. 

The other party’s brake parts had a problem, and Huo Yishen remembered that the two had collected a lot of spare parts when they were in the car modification club, so this part wouldn’t be an issue. 

He told Jiang Ning what the part looked like, and Jiang Ning used her consciousness to find it in space and took it out. 

Huo Yishen spent a while making the part look worn before heading back to the military vehicle. 

In less than half an hour, the part was successfully replaced. 

Huo Yishen chatted with them briefly before returning with his tools. 

Back in the car, he was quite pleased. “I just asked, the military base has guard dogs and also accepts exceptional dogs. 

In this way, Coke wouldn’t attract too much attention. 

Moreover, knowing they were headed to the military base, the other party welcomed them. 

“We just need to follow their car.” 

Jiang Ning was also very happy to know that there was no need to hide the dog. She was afraid that the military would not allow dogs, and she would not abandon Coke. 

As it got darker, Huo Yishen drove behind the military vehicle. 

Jiang Ning was a little worried at first, but the two of them had been to the military base before, and the route was indeed correct. 

Due to the migration, many capable people came from all directions, and there were about fifty or sixty people lined up outside the military base. 

Entering the base required passing several checkpoints. First was filling out forms for review. Don’t underestimate the military’s capability. If you were recorded in any system before the disaster, they could access classified information, and any post-disaster official records would also be noted. 

After passing the review, it is the physical fitness assessment, and then the others. 

Even though there were only fifty or sixty people, less than ten percent would likely pass, and it could take all night. 

It was getting dark, and Huo Yishen parked his car and planned to queue up. 

Unexpectedly, the subordinate came over and said, “Comrade Huo, the chief said you can use the special channel and just follow behind our car.” 

Jiang Ning was surprised. It was said that the military was strict, but fixing a car earned them special treatment?
