“Hello everyone. I’d like to ask you something,” said Jiang Liushi.
A survivor replied quickly, “You’ve saved us, so you can ask us whatever you want.
“Have you heard about a Safety Zone, called Qionghai City?” asked Jiang Liushi.
“Of course,” answered the survivor.
“Well, do you know where it’s located?” asked Jiang Liushi again.
“Uh…it…” The survivors looked at each other in the hope that someone knew about it.
Jiang Liushi felt disappointed as the survivors had only heard about Qionghai City, but none of them had visited it.
Suddenly Ah Dong spoke. “Maybe someone in our camp knows where it’s located. You can follow us back if you want.”
Jiang Liushi glanced at Ah Dong and nodded. “Okay, lead the way.”
“I should deal with my wound first,” said Ah Dong.
“Brother Jiang, do you really want to go back to camp with those people?” asked Ling.
Jiang Liushi smiled and answered, “Don’t worry. Even if it is a place full of tigers and wolves, it’s safe for us.” When he answered, Jiang Liushi’s eyes betrayed an extreme glint of confidence.
Ling was stunned, but she smiled. She realized that as Jiang Liushi’s power was advancing, his temperament and confidence were also being shaped to that of a strong man.
At that moment, the girl dressed in fashionable clothes walked over. She was wearing a halter , a short skirt, and a windbreaker jacket. All of them were quite exquisite and of top materials. Although famous brand clothes had lost their value in this post-apocalyptic world, a few people still looked for them. Jiang Liushi just needed a single glance to tell that the girl was not strong, so he guessed that she must have a strong backer.
“Hello, my name is Xie Shasha. I am grateful that you saved us. I was really scared earlier, and I even thought we’d all die.” Xie Shansha looked at Jiang Liushi and touched her chest, where her heart was, showing her gratitude. As she did that, her juicy chest bounced up and down.
Upon seeing that, Ling felt uneasy. Her figure was exceptional, but the girl in front of them also had a great figure.
“Well, what’s your name?” Xie Shasha asked while staring at Jiang Liushi. She felt attracted to him, and her smile became sweeter.
Ah Dong, who was tending to his wound inside the shop, was irritated. Xie Shasha was one of the bosses’ nominal sister, and Ah Dong had been coveting her for a long time now. No matter what she wanted, Ah Dong would help her find it as soon as possible. This time, she wanted to find some new clothes, so Ah Dong had taken her with them. Unfortunately, he had not expected to encounter the mutant zombie.
As for Jiang Liushi, Ah Dong didn’t feel any gratitude toward him. Even if the Shi Ying Squad had not appeared, he believed that he could have escaped easily while his teammates were distracting the zombies. His impression of Jiang Liushi took a turn for the worse as Xie Shasha was attracted to him. He could feel the flames of envy raging in his heart.
Ah Dong sneered in his mind, but he couldn’t help but wonder why such a beautiful girl was standing beside Jiang Liushi. He couldn’t sense any powerful energy fluctuations from Jiang Liushi. Suddenly he thought of something. ‘Is it a coincidence? If my guess is right, hehehe!’ After that, Ah Dong lowered his head to hide his excited expression.
“Really? I’ve visited Jiangbei in the past. Were you a student at Jiangbei University? No wonder you look so young. If not for the virus outbreak, you would still be a college student!” said Xie Shasha excitedly. She was trying her best to find topics to talk about with Jiang Liushi, but he was a man of few words.
Initially, Jiang Liushi wanted to get useful information from Xie Shasha, but she turned to be a simpleton that didn’t know much. Therefore, he didn’t want to converse with her any longer. Unfortunately, the poor girl didn’t realize that point and kept talking to Jiang Liushi enthusiastically.
“I’ve already treated my wound, so we can leave,” interrupted Ah Dong.
“Ah? Ready?” Xie Shasha smiled at Jiang Liushi and tried to ask, “Your tour bus looks great. There should be lots of seats inside, right? May I come with you?”
Ah Dong frowned as it was apparent that Xie Shasha wanted to stay with Jiang Liushi for a little longer.
“I’m also curious. I’ve never seen anyone driving such a big bus after the virus outbreak. Buddy, you have quite a unique hobby! May I also get on it to take a look?” asked Ah Dong with a smile.
Jiang Liushi shook his head coldly. “I’m not used to letting strangers board my vehicle.”
A hint of disappointment appeared on Xie Shasha’s face. “Oh, makes sense.”
Ah Dong was infuriated. It was up to Jiang Liushi if someone could get on or not, but Ah Dong didn’t think so. In his mind, Jiang Liushi’s refusal was too arrogant, and the tour bus was nothing special. It was just larger than other vehicles. He firmly believed that Jiang Liushi was driving it to get everyone’s attention.
“It seems that your bus is quite mysterious. It’s really amazing,” said Ah Dong with a forced smile. After that, he stopped talking to Jiang Liushi and turned back to get on one of the team’s cars. “We’re ready to go!”
Originally Ah Dong’s team had three cars in total, but the zombies had destroyed one of them. When they launched the two remaining cars, the exhaust pipes released thick black smoke. Ah Dong sped up, and he looked at Jiang Liushi in the heavy smoke. He wanted to tell Jiang Liushi that real men should drive such wild vehicles. A tour bus was only suitable for traveling. Unexpectedly, Ah Dong found that Jiang Liushi had already got on the bus and launched it. At the same time, Jiang Liushi turned a deaf ear to their engines’ sounds.
“I asked him several times about his name, and he finally told me, Jiang Liushi! Although he is a cold handsome man, his name is great. I like it,” said Xie Shasha. She was right next to Ah Dong.
Ah Dong stared at Xie Shasha coldly and asked angrily, “Shasha, did you fall in love with that weakling? I advise you to discard any stupid thoughts.”
“What? Stop spouting nonsense! He is handsome and not weak!” Xie Shasha felt annoyed with Ah Dong.
“Don’t forget that he isn’t a member of our camp. Brother Xie will never allow you to get close to him.”
Xie Shasha’s nominal brother, Xie Feng, was a significant figure in the camp. He was a level-2 paranormal. Although Xie Shasha was very willful, she was quite cute and kind in front of her nominal brother. Xie Feng treated Xie Shasha as his sister because they shared the same surname and they were familiar with each other before doomsday. As for Xie Feng’s real sister, she had become a zombie after the virus outbreak, and Xie Feng was the one who had personally killed her.
Naturally, Xie Shasha felt disgusted when Ah Dong used her nominal brother’s name to control her. “It’s none of your business.” Xie Shasha believed that as long as she invited Jiang Liushi to join their camp, Xie Feng would agree.
Ah Dong’s eyes were gloomy. He noticed that Xie Shasha’s attitude toward him had changed and he blamed Jiang Liuhi for that. He decided to stop thinking about that and lead the way for the time being. The bus was following the two cars steadily, and after some time they reached a dense industrial park near Wantou Town. Then, they entered the industrial park. Most of the facilities there were related to processing steel.
Jiang Liushi didn’t know about the industrial park. It was quite different from the zombie-infested Wantou Town as they could not see any zombies at all. It seemed they had either been killed over time or there were no people there when the virus infected everyone.
Soon, they arrived and stopped outside a factory.
The factory was a huge building that had been reinforced with pure steel. On its walls, dry plasma traces could be seen. Outside of the factory were many parked trucks.
When the people inside saw the tour bus, they aimed at it as they were vigilant. Jiang Liushi didn’t mind such a thing at all as those guns were not a threat to his bus.
“I’m Ah Dong!” shouted Ah Dong while approaching the gate.
Someone from inside the guard post opened the window immediately. Inside the guard post were several machine guns.
“Ah Dong, why did you come back with only two vehicles? What about the tour bus?” asked a man.
“We encounter a ferocious mutant zombie,” explained Ah Dong while waving his hands. “The tour bus was passing by, and the people inside saved us. They followed us here because they need some information.” His voice was loud, so Jiang Liushi and the other heard him clearly.
The man inside nodded and let them pass. Soon, the gate protected by barbed wire and steel bars was opened. All the people behind the gate looked at the huge tour bus suspiciously.
“I can sense several strong energy fluctuations from this camp. One of them is particularly strong,” said Ran Xiyu.
“How is it compared with Lu Changfei’s in the Xiayuan Safety Island?” asked Jiang Liushi. Lu Changfei was the strongest paranormal they had encountered.
Ran Xiyu pondered and then answered, “They’re almost equaled.”
“I didn’t expect to meet strong people here,” said Jiang Zhuying. But that didn’t mean she put them in her eyes. After all, she was a level-2 paranormal.
Ah Dong stopped his car and shouted, “This is our camp, Steel City. You should follow me. Don’t move around recklessly!”
