A small path had been cleared to take people down the mountain, but the survivors in D City still didn't feel the reality of being rescued.
It wasn't until they boarded the special vehicle for the survivors and drank the meat soup that Zhou Xinyi had prepared that they felt a sense of relief and reassurance at being rescued.
Dr. Liu was assigned to the Song of Ice and Fire team's vehicle, along with Wei Jie and a dozen or so guards.
Their squad had the best conditions in their vehicle, and the team members were also highly capable. Such an important person should naturally be placed in the safest place.
Xia Feng, worried that Lin Xuan would get too crowded, expanded the carriage again and reinforced the wheels.
Dr. Liu was intrigued when he saw Xia Feng display his supernatural abilities and wanted to talk to him, but he was quickly pulled into a car by the guards around him.
Once Dr. Liu opened his mouth, he couldn't close it. In this freezing weather, they wanted to get in the car quickly and warm up.
Zhou Xinyi organized people to collect the corpses of the mutated beasts they had just killed, cut out the edible parts, roasted them, and distributed them to the survivors. He also cooked some noodle soup.
The noodles are made from mutant wheat, and the new methods of growing edible grains have not yet been widely adopted in City D.
After the survivors ran out of food supplies in the city, they ate mutated beast jerky for several months.
Taking a sip of noodle soup made from grains at this moment, I was so moved that I almost cried.
Although the noodles still had a slightly bitter taste, they were much tastier than the overly salty mutated beast jerky.
A bowl of this on a cold day brought comfort to the survivors.
Xia Feng smoked another cigarette outside the car before leading Lin Xuan back into the car.
The morning's battle with firearms had also excited him.
Although they use firearms when they go on missions, Xia Feng fights mostly using his supernatural abilities.
There are very few opportunities to use the Gatling gun like that.
Not only was Xia Feng excited, but almost all the members of the hunting team participating in the battle were also quite excited and were all outside the vehicle calming down.
Gu Xinghuo couldn't be as naive as them; after all, he was the team leader, and with such an important figure as Dr. Liu in his car, he had to take good care of him.
They cooked noodles made from regular flour separately for the young PhD and the D City base director, and also found warm animal skin clothes for Dr. Liu and Wei Jie to change into.
Dr. Liu ate a hot meal, wore warm clothes, and his frozen mouth finally recovered.
"The flour used to make noodles must have been grown by plant-based ability users, right? It has to be the A City base, where there are many ability users, unlike our D City, which only has a few wood-based ones, and they were lost when we were running away."
Dr. Liu said to Wei Jie with emotion.
Wei Jie ignored what he was saying and slurped up the noodles in his hand.
Despite being the base commander, he was the kind of good leader who always led by example and ate almost the same food as everyone else in the base.
The output of those wood-type ability users was prioritized for base personnel like Dr. Liu.
Unlike City A, City D doesn't have large-scale experimental fields for growing food, so the Wood-type people don't have the conditions to grow rice and wheat, which are pre-apocalyptic foods.
At most, they would use planting boxes to fill with some pollution-free soil and grow some fruits and vegetables.
Wei Jie hasn't eaten normal food for quite a long time.
"Captain Gu..."
After finishing his noodle soup, Dr. Liu turned to talk to Gu Xinghuo.
Where do you live? How many brothers do you have? Are your parents well? Are you married with children? What kind of work did you do before the apocalypse?
By the time Xia Feng and Lin Xuan got into the car, Dr. Liu had already started telling Gu Xinghuo's fortune.
"You have a full forehead, a good family background, good luck, and a smart mind. Your nose is high and straight, indicating a lifetime of wealth and many helpful people around you. Your life will be very smooth. Your large mouth and ears are proof of this..."
Gu Xinghuo now understood the little demon guarding Tang Sanzang's feelings; he felt a bit like killing this talkative professor.
After eating a bowl of noodles on the bus, Dr. Liu kept talking, asking him a bunch of questions as if he were checking someone's household registration.
Just as he was contemplating murder, the man started saying he was destined for wealth and good fortune, which both annoyed him and pleased him with the praise. He was so conflicted.
As soon as Xia Feng got into the car, one of Dr. Liu's handsome bodyguards, who looked like a celebrity, recognized him.
"Are you Comrade Xia? You must be Comrade Xia."
The handsome guard confirmed to Xia Feng.
"Who are you……"
Xia Feng didn't have any impression of this handsome guy.
"I'm Chen Zhen. Don't you remember me? A year ago, at the 303 highway service area, you and a young girl saved me. This lady next to you is Lin Xiaomei, right? Do you remember her?"
Upon seeing his savior again, Chen Zhen was extremely excited. He abandoned his usual taciturn demeanor and took the initiative to step forward to shake hands and talk to Xia Feng.
Lin Xuan remembered that she had rescued several policemen at the highway service area, but she didn't recall that one of the rescued people was such a handsome man.
She hid behind Xia Feng, feeling a little embarrassed by Chen Zhen's enthusiastic handshake.
My goodness, this guy is even more handsome than Zhou Xinran, and even more handsome than Zhou Xinyi. It seems all the handsome guys have been handed over to the state.
Xia Feng also remembered this incident. If he remembered correctly, the police officer who was beaten the worst back then was Chen Zhen in front of him.
"Hello, Officer Chen, I remember now."
Xia Feng gave Chen Zhen a polite smile.
"I never expected to see you two again. It's truly fate. I was rescued by you two again this time, but I was unable to do anything for my two benefactors. I am truly ashamed."
Xia Feng pulled Chen Zhen down to sit and said, "Officer Chen, you don't need to be so polite. We were just doing a small favor. By the way, how are the other officers who were with you doing now?"
"Officer Luo and Officer Lu sacrificed their lives during the zombie apocalypse..."
Chen Zhen spoke calmly, for like the two officers who had already sacrificed their lives, he had long been prepared to die at any moment.
After being rescued by Xia Feng, they took several survivors and drove to the D City protection station.
Later, he, along with Officer Luo and Officer Lu, were assigned to protect Dr. Liu. Until this zombie siege, he has always been one of Dr. Liu's bodyguards.
"Please accept my condolences." Xia Feng patted Chen Zhen's arm to comfort him.
"Does Officer Chen know these two?" Dr. Liu finally had a chance to interject. He quickly moved closer to Detective Chen, his eyes shining as he stared at Xia Feng.
He had been interested in this superhuman for a while, but he hadn't had a chance to speak to him while they were outside the car.
Gu Xinghuo was finally let go and breathed a sigh of relief. He knew he couldn't let Dr. Liu talk to him anymore; the man was too talkative.
"Dr. Liu, these two are my saviors."
Chen Zhen introduced Xia Feng and Lin Xuan to Dr. Liu, briefly explaining how the two rescued people at the highway service area.
"Both of you are superhumans, impressive!"
Dr. Liu simply switched places with Chen Zhen and sat next to Xia Feng.
Another round of census-style dialogue ensued.
Xia Feng gave a brief answer to Dr. Liu's question. This was a scientist under the base's key protection, who might be able to develop a zombie virus vaccine in the future.
If successful, it would be a savior to save humanity from the suffering of the end times.
Xia Feng, however impatient, had to endure it.
