Although the Zhou Shan refugee camp was burned down, parasites are indeed cunning. To prevent any from escaping and infiltrating M City, Lu Sheng arranged for two transport planes to spray insecticide over the entire city every morning and evening, while also adding large doses of pesticide powder to the city's waterworks.

Sure enough, the Allied forces discovered a number of infected individuals who had been parasitized.

After three full days of ensuring the safety of the entire city, Lu Sheng temporarily halted the pest control operation.

During this period, the harsh living conditions quietly changed once again.

Long-awaited heavy rainfall returned, causing the coastline to rise again and again. Radio reports came in succession of news about a sudden tsunami that had inundated major bases in coastal cities.

"Several major tsunamis have struck within a month, and I've heard that many cities have been flooded. All coastal bases are currently undergoing a relocation, and we've absorbed quite a few refugees during this period." As usual, Su Zheng handed Lu Sheng the weekly city construction progress report.

Lu Sheng flipped through the pages briefly, then walked to the window and looked out.

The continuous heavy rainfall has caused the entire city to be flooded.

M City, being an inland city, experiences little rainfall year-round, making it difficult for its urban drainage system to handle such dense rainwater. The outdoor water level was about ankle-deep, with empty water bottles and packaging bags floating on the surface from time to time.

"We've already arranged for people to expand the drainage system; it'll probably take another month," Ma Dongmei said as she walked over to Lu Sheng, a sour hawthorn candy dangling from her lips.

At the strong urging of Lin Xiaobao and others, Ma Dongmei started quitting smoking a few days ago. To distract herself, the once glamorous and mature woman, who used to be inseparable from cigarettes, now has a hawthorn candy in her mouth every day.

After a brief discussion about the follow-up plan, Lu Sheng and his group went to the new recruit quarantine area in M ​​City for inspection.

To prevent outsiders from bringing unknown bacteria or viruses that could affect the entire city, Lu Sheng, emulating the isolation and observation measures implemented before the apocalypse, specifically set up a buffer zone of over a thousand square meters around the city.

The industrial area on the outskirts of the city was converted into a temporary residential area. All newcomers to M City must stay in the quarantine zone for ten days without any abnormalities being detected before they can officially enter the city.

“Now dozens to hundreds of people are joining every day, and the quarantine area is almost full.” Zhao Mujia led his people through the crowded registration area and pointed to the long line in front of the vending machine.

New residents can also temporarily exchange crystal cores for points, so food and drink are not a problem.

It was lunchtime, and the dining area in the quarantine zone was filled with new faces carrying steaming hot lunches.

Lu Sheng's cool gaze quickly swept across the crowd, finally settling on a group of young people at a table not far away.

The small square table for four was full; there were three men and one woman, all around twenty years old. All of them were above average in appearance and quite pleasing to the eye.

The girl with her hair in a bun held a hot dog and fried noodles she had just bought from a vending machine. With a little effort, she used the hot dog to hold half of the fried noodles and took a satisfied bite.

The lunch of the three young men next to me was also quite explosive, basically a super combination of carbs plus carbs.

One is instant noodles with fried dumplings, another is fried dumplings with fried rice, and the last one is even more outrageous: beef noodles with a bowl of rice.

Zhang Xiaojuan clicked her tongue and shook her head. "Look at how hot and humid the environment outside is. We finally get to eat, and this whole table is full of calorie bombs."

"Go and see what these people are all about," Lu Sheng said, frowning slightly.

Although Su Zheng and Zhao Mujia didn't know why Lu Sheng suddenly became interested in these people, they still obeyed his orders.

"Little girls, where are you from?" Ma Dongmei walked over familiarly and casually hooked her arm around the shoulder of the girl on the table.

The girl was startled, her bun hair trembled slightly, and she raised her head somewhat nervously. "We came from City X. The tsunami has submerged the entire city."

City X is a well-known tourist city in a coastal province, and recently many people with superpowers from there have joined City M.

Lu Sheng nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly changed the subject, smiling as he looked the girl up and down, "Your accent doesn't sound like you're from X City?"

The four people at the table suddenly tensed up. After a few seconds, the young man next to them spoke up to defuse the situation, "Although we are from X City, we went to university in an inland city. We are seniors this year, and our accents have become quite assimilated over the past four years."

As soon as he finished speaking, the rest of the people turned their gazes to Lu Sheng.

Having spent so much time together, everyone knows that Lu Sheng isn't one to waste words. The fact that these people have caught Lu Sheng's attention means they've probably given something away.

"Sister Lu, do you doubt the identities of these four people?" Zhang Xiaojuan squeezed next to Lu Sheng and asked mysteriously.

Lu Sheng raised his eyes indifferently, "Most likely not a Chinese."

"No problem, watch me."

Zhang Xiaojuan looked at Lu Sheng, smiled mysteriously, and then walked over to the four people.

"Ahem." Zhang Xiaojuan cleared her throat, then suddenly blurted out an extremely catchy melody, "You love me, I love you~"

The four people at the small square table looked puzzled and collectively displayed an awkward unease.

"You love me, I love you?" Zhang Xiaojuan didn't give up and turned to sing another line to the youngest-looking boy among them.

The dark-skinned man's face suddenly turned ashen, and he forced a smile that looked more like a grimace.

Several people turned to look at Zhang Xiaojuan, whose gaze was even tinged with fear, as if she were looking at a pervert.

"Thank you so much for your hospitality..." One of the bespectacled, refined-looking young men stood up, forcing himself to do so.
