The Empress is quite intelligent, and Huang Zhao still has many questions he wants to ask.

However, the timing wasn't right, so Huang Zhao had to put it aside for the time being.

Anyway, with Lingyu around, I can come back to her anytime.

Back on the island, the group set off again towards Dawn City.

The remaining 300 kilometers will be covered in an hour.

......

Huang Zhao, who was still in Shaoguan City at the time, broke out in a cold sweat when he discovered that his consciousness had encountered the Fire Phoenix.

If the Fire Phoenix is ​​unreasonable, Huang Zhao will have no choice but to immediately change course and head to its rescue.

Even if three level-four creatures couldn't kill this mutated beast with divine beast bloodline, they still wouldn't be able to.

Delaying Alice and the others from leaving shouldn't be a problem.

After confirming that there was no immediate danger, Huang Zhao turned his attention back to what was in front of him.

After leaving the city center of Shaoguan, he led the Yu siblings to a settlement outside the city.

They received a warm welcome from Yang Qian and Mayor Zhao.

"Does Mayor Zhao want me to escort the survivors from the settlement to the shelter?"

"That's right. There are now nearly three thousand people in this settlement, and simple protection is no longer enough to stop the zombies."

“Two days ago, I and Division Commander Zhang from the army opened a large shelter, which is nearly 20 kilometers away from here.”

"I'm worried about encountering zombies and mutated beasts on the way, so I hope Mr. Chen can protect me."

Mayor Zhao's full name is Zhao Tai. Even after the apocalypse, he still wears a suit and ties and dresses himself impeccably.

But he showed no signs of being a politician; on the contrary, everything he did was for the sake of the survivors.

They organized all the survivors around Shao City to build a super-large settlement.

This is also why Huang Zhao was willing to make friends with him.

However, upon hearing the other party's request, Huang Zhao was indeed somewhat perplexed.

Escorting ordinary survivors 20 kilometers is clearly not something that can be accomplished in a short time.

He wanted to return to Dawn City today; if he stayed here for so long, he wouldn't be able to go back.

"Mr. Chen, is there anything you're worried about? Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help!"

Seeing Huang Zhao's hesitant expression, Zhao Tai asked with concern.

At this moment, Huang Zhao's physical body and Vajra were outside, but after his mind was transferred, he controlled Chen Run to talk to the other party.

"It's not really a concern, but I have some urgent business to attend to and can't stay here any longer."

When do you plan to start the relocation?

Zhao Tai looked worried and explained to Huang Zhao:

"The relocation plan has been in preparation for two days, and the survivors in the settlement are all ready. However, I'm worried about the potential dangers during the relocation process and haven't set off yet..."

"Since that's the case, I have an idea, you might want to listen to it."

"Oh? Mr. Chen, please go ahead."

"The King Kong outside is my partner, and he is benevolent towards human survivors."

"Actually, I have other companions who have already taken the flying mutant beast Daqiang back to Shanghai."

"The Yu siblings I brought are here. The younger brother was seriously injured and needs to be taken back to Shanghai for treatment, so Daqiang will come again."

Upon hearing Huang Zhao's words, Zhao Tai gave a wry smile.

"It's truly the envy of everyone."

"To be honest, after Mr. Chen and King Kong left this place, we also tried to communicate with the mutated beasts to see if we could reach a cooperative relationship."

"But most of them either run away as soon as they see us, or they engage in direct combat, leaving no room for communication..."

"Mr. Chen means that Mr. Daqiang can escort us to the shelter?"

Upon hearing "Mr. Daqiang," Huang Zhao couldn't help but chuckle, almost bursting out laughing.

I wonder if Zhao Tai will still be able to call out to Da Qiang when he sees him.

"Daqiang has the strength of a level four expert, so protecting your safety is not a problem."

Zhao Tai opened his mouth, somewhat shocked by the strength of Huang Zhao's group.

"If I may ask, is Mr. Chen's organization affiliated with the government or a private entity?"

"Heh heh, could it be that Mayor Zhao is trying to recruit me?"

"I wouldn't dare. To be honest, the strongest people in our settlement right now are Captain Yang and me, but we're only level three ability users."

"Mr. Chen probably wouldn't think much of Shaoguan City, which is such a small place. I was just curious. If it's inconvenient for you, just pretend I didn't ask..."

Zhao Tai adopted a very humble attitude, showing none of the airs of a mayor from before the apocalypse.

Huang Zhao nodded secretly, thinking that he was indeed a person who could make a name for himself in the entire southern part of the Dragon Kingdom.

Huang Zhao took a sip of tea and smiled slightly:

"There's nothing I can't say. I've built a shelter in Shanghai and gathered two or three thousand survivors. I'm here in Guangdong on a mission."

"If Mayor Zhao has the opportunity to visit Shanghai in the future, we can meet at Fusen Country Park in Linjiang District."

"Actually, there are quite a few powerful superhumans in Shaoguan City, like Song Kexin from the Oushi Building..."

After hearing Huang Zhao's words, Zhao Tai stood up and bowed to Huang Zhao.

"Mr. Chen is so righteous! There aren't many people like you who are willing to take the initiative to rescue survivors."

"It's a pity the time isn't right now, otherwise I would definitely drink with Mr. Chen until we were both thoroughly drunk!"

"I will definitely visit Mr. Chen in Shanghai someday if I have the chance!"

Huang Zhao stood up and helped Zhao Tai up.

"Mayor Zhao, you don't need to be so polite. I didn't do anything."

"Daqiang will arrive in Shaoguan City in about 2 hours. He will protect you during your relocation."

"Mayor Zhao, please look after the Yu siblings for a while. Daqiang will take them away once he has finished escorting them."

"If there are no problems, I'll be heading out now."

After saying that, Huang Zhao planned to leave the gathering place and continue his journey.

Suddenly, a quarrel broke out outside.

"Be gentle! This is state-of-the-art experimental equipment! Once it breaks, it's gone forever, and it's practically impossible to replicate!"

"This mutation is absolutely insane! Is this the legendary super-powered factor?"

A man in a white coat yelled at the survivors who were carrying experimental equipment, looking like a madman.

Seeing Huang Zhao's confusion, Zhao Tai explained:

"That was Dr. Yuan, a leading expert in the field of biology. Captain Yang brought him back to the gathering place from a laboratory in Shaoguan City when he was on the verge of death."

"He insisted on bringing all these instruments with him, and when I couldn't persuade him otherwise, he agreed. He also made some discoveries in his research on mutated beasts and mutated plants."

"However, the current conditions in our community do not allow us to support his research..."

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhao's heart stirred.

Chen Run had set aside a laboratory of nearly 2,000 square meters within the Dawn City shelter.

It also contains a large number of advanced experimental instruments, the purpose of which is to enable people to study the mutated beasts and mutated plants after the apocalypse.

However, due to a lack of relevant personnel, they have not yet been put into service.

Find a way to abduct this Dr. Yuan!
