Carlo had chosen an escape route for Bai Jin and Yang Yu, a route that took them far from the research institute and the Big Pancake President's villa's north gate.

As Chuanyang City completely disappeared from the horizon, Yang Yu gradually slowed down the carriage. Early risers could be seen in the fields, laboring; showing too much panic would only arouse suspicion.
