Xiang Shan stowed away the storage device and then sent Yuki to sleep in the truck bed of the "donkey."
Yuki was also tired and, without saying much, went to rest on his own.
By this time, two days had passed since that space-based kinetic weapon bombing. During these two days, Xiang Shan rested during the day and only took to the road at night after using precious refrigerant to maintain the same temperature as the environment in the vehicle cabin to avoid satellite attention.
That day, after changing into a spare set of limbs, Xiang Shan did his best to clear the traces Yuki left while dragging him. However, the tracks they made emerging from the earth were too apparent, and he didn't have enough time, so he had no choice but to give up.
If the "Protector" had any surveillance in place, they should already know that he was still alive.
