Yuan Guoping and Roberts followed the direction Ji Xian had come from and walked for a while. They soon discovered that as they continued forward, there were corpses of mutated creatures all along the way.

Following the corpse of the mutated creature, they easily exited the purple restricted area.

Outside the purple restricted area, you can immediately spot an SUV parked there.

The two rushed over without waiting.

Pull the door handle, and the car door opens directly.

It wasn't that Ji Xian didn't lock the car; rather, Lingling helped him unlock it remotely.

There were five cans of beef in the passenger seat and several AK47 rifles in the back seat.

Roberts smiled. Although the mech warrior was a bad person, he was at least trustworthy.

They immediately divided the canned beef between them.

The moment Roberts tasted the canned beef, he felt like he was floating on air.

After consuming unpalatable nutritional supplements for so long, this is the first time I've tasted something so delicious.

These are all top-quality supplies.

It was so delicious I almost cried.

He suddenly realized that Yuan Guoping hadn't lost out by handing over the formula in exchange for these top-quality supplies.

Yuan Guoping also thought it tasted good.

During his time in the shelter, he hadn't eaten meat for 50 years.

The limited space and environment of the shelters are not conducive to raising animals.

First of all, it's difficult to even provide food for humans, let alone feed for animals.

Secondly, for animals to reproduce indefinitely, a certain number must be met.

In short, Yuan Guoping has been forced to become a vegetarian for the past 50 years.

This was the first time in so many years that he had eaten meat, and he was very moved.

To put it simply, if a worm were to grow on a vegetable leaf in the plantation inside the shelter, he wouldn't want to throw it away.

Unfortunately, the sealed-off shelter didn't even breed a single worm.

Yuan Guoping had just finished one can, while Roberts had already eaten two.

Roberts is young, eats quickly, and has a big appetite.

Roberts looked at the remaining two cans and felt embarrassed.

Neither of them said anything, and they tacitly took one can each, protecting it like a precious treasure.

"Which direction should we go?" Yuan Guoping asked.

Roberts glanced at his bracelet subconsciously. In the post-apocalyptic world, ordinary people don't have navigation functions. Roberts had probably really been removed from the fishing port, and the navigation function on his bracelet had been canceled, leaving only the built-in compass function.

However, in the purple restricted area, the compass function failed, causing them to spin in circles and suffer a great loss.

He's starting to doubt the compass's functionality.

Roberts said, "I don't know, but we need to go somewhere with people."

As soon as he finished speaking, the car started automatically.

It started cooking on its own.

After turning a corner, I headed straight in one direction.

Roberts was startled, then laughed: "This car actually has an automatic navigation function. I probably accidentally triggered it with what I said earlier."

Neither of them suspected anything.

This was naturally orchestrated by Zero Zero behind the scenes.

The car continued moving in one direction.

Before long, they arrived at a gathering place.

This settlement is very quiet.

Several large houses can be seen in the distance, standing in the middle of the settlement.

There's a large area around my house where oil drums, cement blocks, and construction waste are piled up haphazardly everywhere.

This is to prevent vehicles from driving directly next to the big house.

This is the pattern in most settlements in the post-apocalyptic world.

Roberts wasn't surprised at all.

The car stopped on the outskirts of the gathering area.

Roberts got out of the car. He had to go to a populated area to ask someone for directions to the fishing port, or to a place with a cluster of long-distance communication equipment, so he could request assistance from the fishing port.

Roberts got out of the car, and Yuan Guoping followed him out of the car as well.

Yuan Guoping felt unfamiliar with this world and just wanted to follow Roberts around and see what it was like. He heard Roberts say that the fishing port was very prosperous, and he thought he might live there in the future.

This settlement was strange; it was spacious yet quiet.

Flames were burning in many metal barrels on the open ground, which were very conspicuous.

Burning flames everywhere before nightfall is clearly a waste of resources.

Although the main energy sources now are energy cores and solar energy, energy sources such as oil have not been phased out.

Roberts, accompanied by Yuan Guoping, entered the gathering place with a puzzled expression.

Soon, he witnessed an astonishing scene.

A disheveled girl, dressed in tattered clothes, was tied to a three-meter-high cross.

The girl's head was bowed; she seemed to still be alive.

Roberts walked over in fear.

Getting closer to him was even more shocking.

Originally, it was thought that the girl was just tied up, but unexpectedly, her limbs were nailed to a cross!

The methods were extremely cruel.

Flames were placed around the cross, as if to make sure that others could see the girl's tragic state.

Without saying a word, Roberts and Yuan Guoping pushed two cylindrical oil drums from a short distance away and placed them next to the girl.

The two men stood on the oil drum, trying to get the girl off the cross.

The girl realized someone was beside her and slowly raised her head.

She smiled when she saw two men rescuing her.

His smile was bleak, as if he had escaped from a sea of ​​suffering.

Seeing that smile, Roberts felt even more compassion: "Don't worry, we'll definitely find a way to save you."

Yuan Guoping also said, "Just bear with it a little longer."

The nails on the cross are not easy to handle.

Roberts searched the ground and found a plank with a notch.

Roberts tried it and was able to easily remove the nail from the girl's foot.

The nails on the feet weren't driven in very deep, so they were easy to remove.

Then, he climbed onto the oil drum and carefully removed the nail from one hand.
