No one dared to oppose Si Yue's opinion. Originally there were seven or eight people, but now there were more than twenty.

Yan Shi looked utterly dejected. What bothered him most right now wasn't that he was with Si Yue, but that there were too many people. It was more like a business trip than a road trip.

Chang Ge suddenly caught a cold, and Bu Ke asked her brother to stay and take care of her. After much persuasion, she finally convinced her brother to let her come out with Jiang Lang.

“My brother even pulled Jiang Lang into the house and gave him instructions for half an hour. I listened at the door for a while, and he kept repeating the same sentence: he told him to protect me.”

"Honestly, it seems like I'm the one protecting him."

Bu Ke and Jiang Lang, Yan Shi and Zhuang Zhao, Jin Xi and Jiang Liuer, Si Yue and his friend, the Black Doctor Queen Catherine, and the taciturn Word Spirit sorcerer Yan Ye.

According to Si Yue, the two people he brought are incredibly powerful; even the King of Heaven himself would have to slink away in disgrace.

Yan Shi believed it. Just by looking at Catherine's figure and style of dress, Yan Shi knew that she was definitely a big shot. In the post-apocalyptic world, there were many villains. A hot figure and light clothing meant that she could only be overwhelmingly powerful. Otherwise, even if she had a big shot protecting her, she would not be able to get away with it.

Seeing Si Yue and Catherine, who were about the same age, Yan Shi's gossipy heart began to stir. He would glance at them every now and then on the way, trying to find out about their relationship, but it seemed he had failed.

Catherine seems to have a special fondness for her younger brother. After failing to strike up a conversation with Jiang Lang and being rolled her eyes at by Bu Ke, she turned to Jiang Liuer. Jiang Liuer stated that she was already married and asked people not to chat unless necessary.

Catherine turned her gaze to Zhuang Zhaoshi, who immediately kissed Yan Shi and then intertwined their fingers, their actions proving that they were together.

After that, Catherine remained depressed, fiddling with a scalpel in her hand. Yan Shi dared not get too close, fearing the scalpel might fly into his head.

Yan Ye looked young, with a baby face that made him appear youthful. He was over 1.7 meters tall, and Yan Shi thought he was a middle school student, but he was actually over twenty.

“He said that verbs have a magical effect, but nouns don’t, so there will be some obstacles in communication. Not talking to him is the best way to take care of him.”

Yan Shi indicated that he understood.

Nine people, one RV, one small truck, and one SUV, meeting all their needs.

The route plan is through Zones 2, 3, and 1, and it is expected to take half a month to arrive. In reality, if there are no delays, the travel time will be about five days.

"Shouldn't we be hurrying on our way? Didn't we say we had a meeting?"

"With all these countries and inconvenient transportation, how fast can it get? Besides, we're discussing the resettlement of foreigners, not our own country's affairs. What's the rush?"

"It is well-founded and irrefutable."

"Since District Two is a port city, wouldn't it be faster to travel by sea?"

"It is indeed faster. You want to take a boat? But don't you get carsick? Cars can stop anytime, and people who get seasick will get carsick even if the boat stops."

Yan Shi gave up immediately.

The group strolled around as if on a leisurely trip, wading through streams, picking fruit, and chasing small animals whenever they came across them.

"It's like a child on a spring outing, finding everything fascinating and interesting."

Just as Yan Shi was criticizing others for being childish, he turned around and saw a wild rabbit, so he took off chasing after it.

Whether I eat or not doesn't matter, I just want to hold him.

What should have been a one-day drive took two days. Standing in the Second District, known for its impregnable defenses, Yan Shi realized for the first time the struggles of humanity in the apocalypse.

District Two is not large. It is a port city that relies on international development. Now, it is surrounded by iron walls and high walls, with strict controls on entry and exit. It has the highest proportion of ordinary people among all the safe zones.

The officer had made prior arrangements, verified the person's identity, and allowed them in. After their identity information was recorded, they received an electronic identity card.

"Not much has changed inside."

"You've been here before."

"I came here two years ago."

Who is in charge of Zone Two?

"Su Ke seems to be a girl."

"Su Ke, who's 172cm tall? My college classmate is also named Su Ke!"

"It seems quite tall."

"That's probably her. She's amazing. The head of the safe zone has much more power than the mayor before the apocalypse. I wonder if I'll have a chance to meet her."

"Yes, I'm going to see her later."

A car arrived to pick up Si Yue. Si Yue was kind-hearted and brought Jiang Liuer, who kept insisting that Su Ke was his classmate.

Yan Shi glanced at Jin Xi, and had a feeling that someone might be locked out that night.

The others were led to their accommodations, and after choosing their rooms and putting away their luggage, they went out shopping in small groups.

It's an international metropolis, you have to do some sightseeing when you come here.

The second district is full of foreigners who have perfectly integrated into the community. They speak the local dialect more fluently than people from other places, even though their accents are a bit strange.

...New map unlocked, Zone 2 port city, international metropolis, impregnable fortress.

She had just finished collecting the Blood Realm when she saw Si Yue staring at her with a smile.

"I guess you could call this rescuing a damsel in distress? Shouldn't the beauty reciprocate?"

"I'll send you a banner and flowers later."

"It's as if I sacrificed myself."

"Don't worry, I'll remember this favor. Contact me if you need anything. But why did you come here?"

"The Ninth District is too peaceful. I'm thinking of taking over the Seventh District directly. That way, no matter where you are, you'll be on my territory."

"Wow! This level of awareness isn't something everyone has." Yan Shi gave a thumbs up.

"I never expected it to change hands before the battle even started."

"What changed hands?"

"Seventh District, your boss said that whoever comes to support us will be handed over to us."

"Didn't you come here to invade?"

"It doesn't matter. If he doesn't step down, we can still invade again."

"bandit."

"That's called letting your strength speak for itself."

Si Yue's men came looking for him, but he waved to Yan Shi and walked away with them.

"I didn't expect Si Yue to come, otherwise we would really be in trouble."

"Yeah, but now that he's in District Seven, he'll definitely keep bothering you."

“District 7 is not District 9. There are plenty of girls in District 7. He’ll be dazzled by them. Besides, didn’t I say before that I was going north to my hometown? Let’s pack up and set off.”

"What if we encounter another zombie king like the One-Eyed One? Can you use your special ability more often? It's too risky for just the two of us."

"We need to think of a way."

The crisis was over, and everyone returned home. Many houses were damaged and uninhabitable, so they were relocated in a unified manner. The bodies were cremated in a unified way. There was order amidst the chaos, and a sense of desolation and sorrow permeated the orderly process.

After returning to their residence, Yan and the others quickly took a shower and went to bed to rest.

The next morning, an announcement was made over the loudspeaker that District Seven was officially under the control of the Judge, with the general rules remaining unchanged, and the right of interpretation belonging to the Judge and the Deacon Team.

"Mr. Si Yue and his fellow citizens of District Nine provided us with tremendous support. They defeated the Corpse King and won the victory. They are heroes to all of us. Let us remember their name!"

"Now, please welcome Mr. Si Yue to speak."

"Let's not get into any of that nonsense. In short, I saved you, so you have to listen to me. Don't cause me any trouble. I have a bad temper, so think twice before you come looking for trouble."
