My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

”Then that mountain up ahead, where you can faintly hear some noise, must be the construction site for the second-phase Shelter. They must be working through the night,” Zhao Xueqing said.

The construction crews were working in two shifts now. However, since the site wasn’t too far from Li Family Village, they were careful not to make too much noise late at night to avoid disturbing the villagers. They tried to schedule the noisiest tasks for the daytime.

The construction itself was taking place deep within the mountain, with the entrance on the far side of the peak, which is why the three women couldn’t see any lights from where they stood.

Besides, the thick mountain rock was a fairly good sound insulator.

’Li Xiang carried us over such a long distance in the blink of an eye. It’s incredible, practically like flying.’

”Li Xiang, at that speed... you must be covering one or two kilometers per second,” Zhao Xueqing said after a quick mental calculation.

Li Xiang nodded slightly and smiled. ”Something like that.”

’I can cover 1.7 kilometers in a second, which means five kilometers in just three seconds. I didn’t expect Zhao Xueqing to actually make such a good estimate.’

When the three women heard Li Xiang confirm it himself, their eyes widened in profound shock.

’Still, it was great that Li Xiang ”flew” us over,’ they thought. ’If we had to walk by ourselves, even as newly advanced Tier One Transcendents, none of us are particularly fast on our feet. It would have taken ages. Besides, it’s the middle of the night. The mountain paths are rugged and overgrown, there are definitely snakes, and you see graves all over the mountains... It would have been terrifying.’

’And besides, the feeling of being held by Li Xiang while ”going for a ride” was absolutely amazing.’

”Come on, let’s go inside.” Li Xiang effortlessly moved the large boulder blocking the cave mouth and led the three women in.

”So thrilling,” Yao Yao joked. How could exploring a pitch-black cave in the middle of the night be anything but?
