It was the same bridge leading to Refugee Camp No. 1, and the same roadblocks, but this time there were several times more people blocking the bridge.

Among them were several people with white bandages wrapped around their heads, standing there pointing out each car.

"Holy crap, aren't these the guys we just beat up?" Qian Kai was speechless.

They've found some help!

"This is bad. The people from the North City Alliance should know that someone attacked one of their men!" Zhu Penghai slowed down the car.

"They think they're in the right to charge tolls? Let's just charge across!" Xiong Yong said indignantly.

"It's alright, let's go! I know a few people in the Northern City Alliance, they won't cause us any trouble!" Ning Yanlan put away the remaining Hundred-Day Hundred-Soul Pills, then spoke softly.

Although Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan are both from Ancheng and now live in the South City, they have both spent a considerable amount of time living in the North City.

Jiang Yuan has been based in Beicheng since leaving the Jiang family, and Ning Yanlan also works in Beicheng. Unlike Jiang Yuan, Ning Yanlan's mysterious job has obviously allowed her to accumulate a lot of connections, so it is not surprising that she knows people from the Beicheng Alliance.

"Xu Lian, are you sure? What if someone comes along with a Gatling gun and starts shooting us?" Zhu Penghai said cautiously.

"It's alright, slow down! Try to avoid conflict, they won't attack!" Ning Yanlan said.

She understood the Northern Alliance. If it weren't for the troops being diverted, the Northern Alliance would have completely overwhelmed the Southern Warlords. However, the Northern Alliance sacrificed itself for the greater good, losing half of its strength on the first night of the disaster. Afterwards, reinforcements were sent to the disaster front, and now its strength is less than one-tenth of what it used to be.

The Northern City Alliance wasn't originally called the Northern City Alliance; it was the Northern City Allied Army, the guardian deity of the Northern City.

It was also because of the special status of the North City Alliance that they were able to carry Gatling guns to block the bridge. Their strength had been greatly weakened, and one reason for blocking the bridge was to increase the strength of the North City Alliance, and another reason was to protect the people in Refugee Camp No. 1.

Ning Yanlan reluctantly slipped out of Jiang Yuan's arms, and the group sat down. Battle was no joke; they wouldn't risk their lives.

"Stop!"

A group of people at the roadblock shouted from afar.

"It was this car! The people in this car beat us up this morning!"

As soon as the man shouted to stop, the men with bandages wrapped around their necks roared at the armored vehicle, and the others immediately set up their guns and cannons and aimed them at the armored vehicle.

"I thought the technological age was over, but when guns and cannons were pointed at me, I realized that the world of the past is still vivid in my mind!" Zhu Penghai said with deep emotion.

"As long as it doesn't reach the ninth rank, those high-tech weapons will still be lethal!" Ning Yanlan has some knowledge of various weapons and knows the power of some special weapons, which mortal bodies simply cannot resist.

"Who are you, daring to attack our North City Alliance!" someone shouted from the roadblock.

"What should we do?" Zhu Penghai asked.

This isn't South City; they have no initiative here, and the camp's status is meaningless.

"Pull over, I'll go down and talk to them!" Ning Yanlan said.

Zhu Penghai did as instructed. Ning Yanlan got out of the car from the side, and Jiang Yuan naturally tried to get out as well, but Ning Yanlan blocked his way...

"Jiang Yuan, wait for me here!"

"Don't you want me to come along?" Jiang Yuan asked in surprise.

Ning Yanlan said softly, "It's easier for me to talk alone!"

Jiang Yuan frowned slightly and said, "Then be careful!"

"good!"

The two leaned in and kissed, and the people in the car started cheering.

"Look at them, how romantic!" Xiang Yeyun poked Qian Kai hard.

"Ouch, that hurts, honey!" Qian Kai rubbed his forehead where he had been poked and muttered, "How can an 'older' couple like us compare to couples in the throes of new love?"

Ning Yanlan got out of the car and first set up an ice shield to prevent being accidentally injured by the people from the Northern City Alliance, before slowly walking towards the group.

Although Jiang Yuan was worried, he watched intently.

There was no physical conflict as expected, nor any accidental discharge of guns. Ning Yanlan simply walked over, raised her hand, and then the commander of the Northern City Alliance saluted her. What followed was a five-minute conversation.

"Damn, who is Xu Lian? That guy actually saluted her?" Zhu Penghai's expression showed some doubt.

The North City Alliance, which could produce a Gatling gun, must have had military qualifications before the cataclysm. Moreover, the North City Alliance's predecessor, the North City Alliance Army, was one of the ten major military regions in China. Even though it is now at its lowest point, it still retains its arrogance. Anyone who can command the other side's superiors to salute must be of high status.

"Jiang Yuan, is your girlfriend the daughter of some high-ranking military official?" Qian Kai asked curiously.

Jiang Yuan shook his head, indicating that he was unaware of the situation. He had seen Ning Yanlan's actions just now. When she raised her hand, she was holding something in her palm, but he didn't know what it was. Therefore, he could only rely on listening to get information about Ning Yanlan's conversation with the other party.

The armored vehicle stopped twenty meters away, and with Ning Yanlan and the commander of the Northern City Alliance deliberately lowering their voices, ordinary people couldn't hear any of their conversation at all.

But is Jiang Yuan an ordinary person? Obviously not!

His genes were enhanced to a level far beyond that of ordinary people, and his hearing was also exceptionally strong. However, even so, he could only hear snippets of words.

"Sir?"

"Noah?"

Jiang Yuan pondered the only two useful words he had just heard: "commander" was not spoken by Ning Yanlan, but by the middle-aged man in military uniform from the Northern City Alliance, while "Noah" was spoken by Ning Yanlan.

After Ning Yanlan uttered the name Noah, she seemed to hesitate about something and lowered her voice again. This time, Jiang Yuan was unable to hear any useful information.
