These people came from the direction of another county in Xiangcheng, so Cheng Zhen did not suspect their origins. He simply instructed Yu Fen, "Don't cause any trouble. Let's take a detour."
"Boss?"
Yu Fen felt this was inappropriate; if they took a detour, they would have to travel a day longer than expected.
Cheng Zhen insisted, "It's alright, we have enough supplies."
They have prepared plenty of food, supplies, and oxygen.
"Alright." Yu Fen turned the car around.
Since the boss has said so, what reason does he have to insist?
They spotted the crowd ahead, and the crowd spotted them in return.
Someone pointed at them and shouted, "Look, there's a car over there!"
Then many people turned around in response and exclaimed in surprise, "It really is a car!"
You have to understand how rare oxygen-suppressing RVs are in an oxygen-deficient post-apocalyptic world!
All ordinary cars are unusable because they lack an oxygen storage design. Even with fuel, without an oxygen supply, they simply cannot be driven!
After watching for a while, a man who seemed to be in charge said, "Let's hurry up and leave while it's still light."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately resumed their journey.
If Cheng Zhen and his companions were observant, they would have noticed that there were clearly many people with supernatural abilities among these fleeing groups. They were at the very front and the very back, and also distributed on both sides, all there to protect the safety of these refugees.
Since there are people with superpowers, why don't they stay and defend their cities? Why do they risk leaving instead?
However, Cheng Zhen and his group were in a hurry to get on their way and did not notice anything unusual at first.
After that, they encountered another group of people in another direction, but they were few in number and in a sorry state.
Cheng Zhen deliberately avoided them, circling around Zhusha City to a secluded spot with weak guards. They hid the car in a grove of trees a little distance from Zhusha City.
Cheng Zhen parked the car, then ruffled Jiang Xiaoshu's hair, who had just woken up: "From now on, you'll be in charge of our safety, okay?"
Jiang Xiaoshu immediately raised her chin, gave him a haughty glance, and then uttered two words in a cool and aloof tone: "Of course!"
In that instant, Jiang Wan suddenly saw Cheng Zhen's arrogance in him.
Cheng Zhen saw Jiang Wan's aloofness and arrogance in him.
"Okay." Cheng Zhen raised her fist encouragingly, wanting to make a promise between men.
Jiang Xiaoshu's eyes flickered slightly, and then she reluctantly extended her right hand, making two fists, one big and one small, and solemnly struck each other.
Jiang Xiaoshu activated his purification ability, and Cheng Zhen suddenly realized that the kid's ability had improved significantly in the short period of time he hadn't checked him!
"Don't drive too high, or you'll be easily spotted. Just protect our two cars."
After helping Jiang Xiaoshu correct the range of her supernatural abilities, Cheng Zhen got out of the RV and walked to Yu Fen's car.
For several days in a row, even Jiao Jiao was incredibly jealous of Cheng Zhen, who lived, ate, and slept in the RV. But she couldn't get out of the RV because she didn't have an oxygen tank!
She angrily pounded the seat more than once: "Damn it, what right do you have to confine me!"
At first, Yu Fenxian would make sarcastic remarks to her, but later he got used to it and simply put an earplug in his ear to solve the problem!
So when Cheng Zhen suddenly appeared, Lian Jiaojiao was incredibly excited. She felt the joy of finally seeing her beloved, and the relief of no longer having to vent her indignation to herself.
Unfortunately, before her smile could even bloom, it froze completely at the corner of her mouth.
Cheng Zhen ignored her and instead opened a portal, bringing Lian Chuan over: "How do we get in?"
Lian Chuan took a look at the surrounding environment with his binoculars, and then said, "My family's private mine is over there. You can follow this mountain road later, and I'll draw you a map."
"Aren't you going?" Cheng Zhen glanced at him sideways, a half-smile on his face.
"I can't disappear for too long, they'll come looking for me." Lian Chuan's position in the inner city is quite awkward. He has completely lost his real power, but those people still don't trust him and want to use him without offending him.
Cheng Zhen casually shifted his sitting position, but his gaze remained fixed on the direction of Zhusha City below the mountain.
In just one hour, four patrol teams had passed through the outer and inner perimeters of the city's protective shield, averaging one patrol every 15 minutes. This is twice as effective as the patrols in Xiangcheng!
He narrowed his eyes. Zhu Sha City had a military region inside, so its strength was indeed much greater than theirs.
Lian Chuan waited for a long time without receiving a response, so he could only sigh and compromise: "Let's send my sister in first, and I'll go to the mine with you later."
After saying that, he took out his phone and sent a message.
Cheng Zhen raised an eyebrow and took out her phone as well. Yu Fen looked at it and exclaimed in surprise, "There's a signal again?"
"Wow, it really is! Holy crap! Life without the internet is so tough!" He sighed as he started surfing the web.
Cheng Zhen frowned, sensing that something was amiss.
Yu Fen suddenly exclaimed, "Huh? Why can't I get online?"
Cheng Zhen frowned and asked him, "How long has it been since you went online?"
"Um..." He thought about it carefully, "It must have been a long time, right? We don't have any free time!"
Every day is spent either on a mission or on the way to one, so the only free time each day is spent sleeping!
"Don't you know?"
Lian Chuan suddenly spoke up, "It's been almost a month since the nationwide internet outage."
Cheng Zhen looked at the phone in his hand: "What were you doing just now?"
"This is a text message. Although you can't access the internet, you can still make calls and send text messages normally."
Cheng Zhen instantly understood: "This is network signal blocking? Who did it? What's their purpose?"
"Perhaps it's to prevent people from forming organizations in private to oppose the Longcheng government?" Lian Chuan chuckled. "But it's true, those people have indeed become much more well-behaved since the internet signal was cut off."
Lord Bi was happy about this for several days. His only dissatisfaction was that the barbarians in the outer city were still defying his rule and refusing to submit to his authority.
Cheng Zhen understood, his eyes narrowed involuntarily, his mind cleared, and then he sneered: "I'm afraid it's not as simple as just cutting off the network signal, is it?"
"What do you mean?" Lian Chuan asked.
Yu Fen explained: "Except for the city or its surrounding areas, there is no signal anywhere else. The main city has cut off all means of survival from the outside world."
He briefly explained the situation in Xiashan Town, and Lian Chuan was quite shocked: "I didn't know it would be like this..."
"Heh, I used to think that only Xiangcheng was unique, but now it seems that Zhusha City is just like everyone else." Cheng Zhen's tongue swept across his gums, and his gaze turned in another direction with a playful look.
Many refugees are heading towards Zhusha City. Have they considered that Zhusha City doesn't welcome them at all, and they might not even be able to enter the Chuanmen Gate?
