Shen Mo returned to the car.

Bai Youwei asked him, “What’s happening behind us?”
“It’s Shen Fei,” Shen Mo replied. “He wanted to come with us to Beijing, but I refused him.”
“Oh.” Bai Youwei yawned and, without asking further, continued to sleep.
Tan Xiao turned his head and looked back for a while. Seeing that Shen Fei’s car wasn’t following anymore, he asked, “Why didn’t you bring him along? The kid is good in a fight, and aren’t we exactly short of people?”
“It’s not suitable,” Shen Mo replied as he started the car and looked ahead. “He sneaked out. In such a situation, even if I agreed to let him join the fight, he would carry a psychological burden once we entered the game, which would be bad for him and for us too.”
Tan Xiao nodded, seemingly understanding, and then said, “Mo Bro, are you tired? Want me to drive for a bit?”
“No need, you can take over when we reach the rest area ahead,” Shen Mo said.
“Oh, okay.” Tan Xiao put on his coat and hat, curled up into a ball, and continued sleeping in the back seat.
…
As they traveled farther north, the temperature dropped, and it got dark early.
They rested on the road for one night, and the next day, the two men took turns driving and finally arrived in Beijing.
They saw no one on the roads, possibly because they hadn’t found the right residential area. After all, the city was too large, and the survivors were probably concentrated in one place.
There was no rush anyway. Shen Mo drove around the city to check the supply situation and looked for a place to stay.
Although they could stay in a dollhouse, it was best to find a secluded spot to enter and exit the dollhouse to avoid being discovered.
Shen Mo had previously worked in this city, so Bai Youwei was very interested in everything and looked carefully at the scenery along the way.
“Why don’t we go to where you used to live?” she suggested.
Holding the steering wheel, Shen Mo said, “It’s not convenient.”
Bai Youwei asked, “What’s inconvenient? Don’t you want to go back and see? Come on~ let’s go~”
Shen Mo gave her a glance and smiled wryly, “There’s nothing to see, just staff dormitories assigned by the company.”
“I’d still like to go!” Bai Youwei said cheerfully. “I want to see what your place was like.”
Shen Mo smirked and said, “23rd floor, are you sure you want to go?”
Bai Youwei: “…”
Behind them, Tan Xiao exclaimed, “Wow, without an elevator, that height could be deadly! But no worries! We’ve all evolved, we’re like Super Saiyans, nothing scares us!~”
Bai Youwei looked up and glared at him through the rearview mirror, “What? Can’t wait to climb the stairs, huh? The city has electricity, so the elevators should definitely work!”
“Of course, having an elevator is better! Otherwise, going up and down 23 floors every day, even a Super Saiyan couldn’t handle it!” Tan Xiao said immediately.
Shen Mo laughed and said, “Then let’s go have a look.”
With that, he gripped the steering wheel and turned the car at the next intersection.
The car passed through a series of buildings, leaving traces on the snow-covered roads, slowly moving further away…
About forty minutes later, they drove into a residential area.
The environment was nice, and water and electricity were functioning, but there were no people in sight, which inevitably made it feel desolate.
Shen Mo pushed Bai Youwei into the lobby, pressed the elevator button, and watched the numbers change on the elevator, somewhat surprised.
“I didn’t expect there to be electricity… Although areas overtaken by puzzles have had their power restored, actually, without property management, places like this should have lost power.”
“Exactly, it feels like this world is completely controlled, with no logic to it,” Bai Youwei said. “Like back in the power-cut days, the city’s running water never stopped, which was pretty unscientific.”
Ding-dong—
The elevator doors opened.
Tan Xiao was the first to enter, speaking boldly, “Maybe all this is fake! Like in the Matrix, we are all virtual! The real us is outside this world!… Hey, Mo Bro, which floor was it again?”
He looked up and saw Shen Mo and Bai Youwei staring at him.
“What?” Tan Xiao touched his face. “Is there something on my face?”
