Yao Rui wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt a little overwhelmed after arriving in the new city with his bag on his back.

The main thing is that to join the new city, one must have a recommendation from someone in the new city. People living in the outer cities of the new city do not count, which makes Yao Rui a little distressed.

Suddenly, he saw someone he knew.

"Song Bo!" Yao Rui exclaimed, then quickly covered his mouth.

Song Bo actually turned into a zombie!

The zombie had sharp eyes and ears and was very sensitive to sounds. Even though Yao Rui's scream was very low, he heard it and turned his head to look straight at Yao Rui.

Yao Rui's heart was pounding as he was stared at by those scarlet eyes. This was his first time in Xincheng, and all he knew about Xincheng was from what others had heard.

He has always been timid, so when he heard the rumors about the mutant rats, he gritted his teeth and ran over.

It is said that the zombies in the new city are no different from humans and will not bite or eat people, but...

Song Bo, who had been turned into a zombie, looked at Yao Rui, and his feet trembled uncontrollably.

Song Bo had already walked in front of Yao Rui. He dug out the information of the person in front of him from his memory. Yao Rui was his childhood friend when he was a human. He was timid and cowardly by nature. He was afraid of the dark and ghosts and was even more timid than girls.

He said calmly: "Yao Rui?"

Yao Rui was stunned and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it's me."

Song Bo glanced at the bag behind him and asked, "Are you looking for someone to recommend you to join Xincheng?"

Yao Rui nodded blankly: "Yeah, yes."

Song Bo turned and walked towards the castle: "Come on, I'll be your referral."

Yao Rui was stunned. Miserable? Zombies can also be recommended? Seeing Song Bo walking away, he didn't care so much and hurriedly followed him: "Wait, wait a minute."

He followed Song Bo and asked carefully, "Song Bo, didn't you go to military school? When did you become a zombie?"

After asking this question, Yao Rui wanted to slap himself. What kind of questions were these?

He looked at Song Bo in fear.

Song Bo didn't feel offended at all and said calmly, "I turned into a zombie when the apocalypse came. I was lucky and was picked up by the city lord not long after."

Yao Rui: “Ah?”

When the end of the world came, Song Bo was still training at the Military Academy in S City and became one of the first people to become a zombie. However, because he was the only one in the training room at the time, Song Bo did not bite anyone when he was taken away by Fan Xin.

Yao Rui was a little embarrassed: "Haha, your personality has changed a lot."

Song Bo took him to the population registration office to line up. He nodded when he heard this: "Of course, I have Song Bo's memories, but strictly speaking, he and I are not the same person."

Yao Rui opened his mouth in surprise and looked at Song Bo: "Then, then are you willing to, give, be a recommendation for me?"

He thought...

Song Bo pointed to his brain and said, "My memory tells me that although you are timid and cowardly and afraid of this and that, you are also a good person."

Yao Rui scratched his head. "Is that so? So the standard for admission to the new city is, to be a good person?"

Song Bo shook his head: "Of course not. As long as they are not extremely evil, it will be fine. It depends on whether there is anyone in Xincheng willing to make a recommendation."

Yao Rui: “…”

He glanced at the long queue, which was moving forward very slowly, and wondered how long it would take.

Gurgle~ Yao Rui's stomach rumbled.

On the way to Xincheng, he ate up all the remaining food, and when he arrived in Xincheng, he had no time to draw blood in exchange for food.

Yao Rui subconsciously held his stomach and looked at Song Bo with some embarrassment.

Song Bo paused: "Wait a moment."

Seeing Song Bo leave, Yao Rui panicked. Why did he leave? Would he come back? What if Song Bo still hadn't returned by the time it was his turn?

Yao Rui stared anxiously in the team, and soon Song Bo came back.

He came over with a lunch box and handed it to Yao Rui: "Eat something first to fill your stomach. I guess your turn won't be until noon. Then I'll treat you to hot pot."

Yao Rui held the lunch box, and the food in it was still hot.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had eaten hot food. He looked down at the food in the lunch box: simple white rice topped with shredded pork and garlic sprouts.

Yao Rui's eyes were filled with a layer of white mist, obscuring his vision. He raised his sleeve to wipe his eyes, deeply moved. "Well, how embarrassing is that? I can't let you watch me eat. How about I draw some blood for you to drink?"

Song Bo: "..."

He curled his lips: "No, I can eat hot pot."

Yao Rui's eyes widened: "What can you eat? Aren't you a zombie? Don't zombies eat blood?"

Why does Xincheng need blood? Isn't it just to feed zombies? And then Song Bo said he can eat hot pot? Could there be hot pot made with blood?

Song Bo's forehead was bulging with veins: "Are you going to eat it or not? If not, give it back to me."

He reached out to take the lunch box from Yao Rui's hand, but Yao Rui shuddered and quickly dodged it, burying his head in eating.

Like Yao Rui, there were many people who sneaked away from other bases and came to the new city, but most of them came with the entire base.

There were so many people joining the new city during this period that Wang Hong and others didn’t even have time to rest during the day and could only rest after dark.

Wang Hong walked out of the population registration office and stretched his muscles.

Yu Qinglong was waiting for him outside.

Wang Hong walked over and said, "Let's go. What do you want to eat tonight?"

Yu Qinglong and Wang Hong walked towards the food street together. Yu Qinglong frowned and said, "Brother Wang, there are still so many bases that are still silent. I'm afraid of those rats..."

Wang Hong glanced at him and said, "Some people are always blinded by power. If they don't want to come to Xincheng, there's nothing we can do."

That being said, it was because Wang Hong had not seen the tragic situation at the Rose Base. Yu Qinglong never wanted to see that kind of scene again in his life.

He took a deep breath and said, "I decided to go around the major bases."

Wang Hong paused and looked at Yu Qinglong.

Yu Qinglong smiled bitterly and said, "Those mutant rats are so terrifying. I'm still scared. Brother Wang, I'll feel uneasy if I don't go for a walk. And I suspect..."

He looked at Wang Hong: "The doomsday prophecy Fan Xin is the savior of the dark ages for mankind. I'm afraid what he predicted was not the appearance of zombies, but - mutant animals."

Yu Qinglong was very uneasy. He had heard others talk about the mutant wolves and guessed that besides the mutant rats, there might be something else.

Are zombies scary? They are indeed scary, but for humans, zombies are not difficult to deal with.

Unless you reach Fan Xin's level.

As for the mutant rats, although they are fragile, they are huge in number and reproduce quickly. Even if you can kill a large number of them with one superpower, there are still thousands of them...

Wang Hong took out an ID from his pocket and threw it to Yu Qinglong.

Yu Qinglong raised his hand to take it, opened the document and took a look, then was stunned.

Wang Hongdao: "Some base leaders are officials before the apocalypse, so it would be better for you to take this with you."

Yu Qinglong was a little surprised: "Brother Wang, why are my ID cards here with you?"

Wang Hong: “I found it.”

Yu Qinglong: "..."

Dawn Base.

From time to time, people would leave the base and never come back. Everyone knew where they went.

Mayor Zhou stood by the window looking outside, and Zhou Jinchen's face looked very anxious.

"Dad, this is no joke. Everything I told you is true. Cheng Qing and the others have told you too, right? We'd better join New City as soon as possible." Zhou Jinchen said, grabbing his hair. "Don't be stubborn. You were worried that Sister Fan might have second thoughts, but it's been so long. Have you seen her actively hurt anyone? No, she hasn't done anything bad to humans!"

"Uncle, please say something too." Zhou Jinchen looked at Shen Changnian who was standing beside him.

Shen Changnian patted Zhou Jinchen on the head: “Okay, you can go out first.”

Zhou Jinchen plopped down on the chair. "Why are you going out? I'm not a child anymore. Is there anything you can't discuss in front of me?"

Shen Changnian wanted to say something, but Mayor Zhou waved his hand at him.

Mayor Zhou sat across from Zhou Jinchen and said, "Yes, you're not a child anymore. Jinchen, you should also know that the decision I make now concerns the lives of over 70,000 people at the Dawn Base."

"I understand what Cheng Qing said, but joining Xincheng is definitely better than staying here? How can you be sure that all this is just a scam by Xincheng?"

Zhou Jinchen looked at Mayor Zhou and pursed his lips. "I don't know, but I have eyes. I believe what I saw in Xincheng is true. Dad, can you please stop overthinking all the time? Do you know what this is called? Being too clever is foolish!"

Mayor Zhou smiled and said, "Go back and rest first. Let me think about this matter."

"What are you thinking about?" Zhou Jinchen stood up and shouted, "If you keep thinking, those mutant rats will appear!"

"Jin Chen!" Shen Changnian scolded.

Zhou Jinchen took a deep breath, turned around and walked out.

Mayor Zhou rubbed his brows tiredly and said with a wry smile, "This kid..."

He sighed.

Shen Changnian walked over and closed the door, then returned to Mayor Zhou: “Mayor, don’t put so much pressure on them. Since it has come to this, why not give them the decision-making power?”

Mayor Zhou was stunned and looked at Shen Changnian.

Shen Changnian smiled and said, "This is a matter concerning everyone's personal safety. They have only heard some gossip and rumors and still don't know the truth. In this case, why don't we tell them the truth and let them make their own decisions for their lives?"

Are you willing to stay in the Dawn Base or join the new city?

"Isn't this too despicable?" Mayor Zhou muttered absentmindedly.

Because it is close to the New City, the Dawn Base has more contact with the New City than other bases. Many people have let go of their fear and terror of zombies and have a very high favorable impression of the New City.

Once this matter is revealed, the people from the Dawn Base will undoubtedly choose to go to the new city.

There is only one benefit to doing this, and that is to relieve Mayor Zhou of his responsibilities.

If there are really problems with Xincheng in the future, it will be everyone's own choice and has nothing to do with him.

After thinking for a long time, Mayor Zhou smiled bitterly: "I am really old..."

Unable to bear such a heavy responsibility, he also couldn't bear to hand over such a heavy burden to Shen Changnian and Zhou Jinchen. Finally, he closed his eyes and agreed to Shen Changnian's suggestion.

As expected, as soon as this suggestion was made, everyone was willing to go to the new city.

Lin Jidong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news and quickly took his parents to the new city.

After the rain, Lin Jidong wanted to take his parents to the Starry Base, but his parents didn't want to go, so Lin Jidong had to stay in the Dawn Base temporarily.

After all, he was just outside the Dawn Base before, and he could see his parents every day and take care of them.

If he went to the Starry Base alone, he would definitely not be able to take care of his parents at any time.

Fortunately, Lin Jidong's space had everything he needed. After he stayed at the Shuguang Base, he opened a small restaurant there.

With the news of the mutant rats and the official testimony from Dawn, his parents finally agreed to go to the new city with him.

The entire Dawn Base was relocated, and all the armed teams and psychics in the base reorganized their teams and escorted the people in the base to the new city.
