After leaving the Profound Palace Building, Chen Chuan got directly onto the elevated highway. He drove for over an hour before reaching the checkpoint to leave the city.
His Realm Token flickered, and he passed straight through the checkpoint without stopping. He drove out of the city, gradually leaving the glittering lights of Central City behind.
It was pitch-black ahead, with only the streetlights illuminating the road. He had chosen to set out at midnight so he could arrive in Yangzhi early the next morning.
About ten minutes later, the Realm Token made a static sound before going silent. He took it off, placed it in a box he had prepared beforehand, and reached out to turn on the radio.
At this hour, besides a few midnight programs from Central City, he could also pick up channels set up by armed groups in the wilderness. They were almost all playing heavy metal, occasionally interspersed with what sounded like the wailing of ghosts and howling of wolves.
