Chapter 166 Returning to the City



Such idiots exist at any time and in any place.

It's a pity that the approachable and honest image that Xu Xing originally wanted to create has been shattered.

Whether killing these two people will ultimately have a good or bad outcome is unknown, but it will certainly make other forces more wary of him.

However, he didn't care anymore. His absolute strength gave him enough sense of security. As long as these forces didn't go too far, Xu Xing could still tolerate their existence.

After all, after such a crisis, the remaining human population is still too small; every little bit saved counts.

"Thank you... thank you!" The woman in red who had been beaten was running over with her child in her arms, and hurriedly thanked Xu Xing.

The voice was trembling, it was hard to tell whether it was from excitement or fear.

Xu Xing nodded.

Soon, two girls came over and helped the woman into the car.

There are very few newborns nowadays, and normal people simply don't have the inclination to do such things. Even if they did, once pregnant, the woman would do everything she could to abort the pregnancy in order to survive.

So to this day, none of Xu Xing's subordinates are pregnant, let alone have children.

Therefore, the child in the woman's arms was the youngest among Xu Xing's forces.

Finally, he greeted the leaders of the small and medium-sized forces and promised not to take any measures against them without reason, which put them at ease.

……………

Although Kong City is not large, it would take an hour to drive across it, and many of the survivors actually walked there.

It took a considerable amount of time to collect all the surviving individuals still alive in this area.

Those who survived are either those who haven't awakened their special abilities or those whose intellect far surpasses that of ordinary people. With proper training, they should be able to be of great use in the future.

Even now, with everyone arriving in SUVs, the area is still quite crowded with the survivors.

During this time, many people even fainted from hunger on the bus. They were given some chocolate, which gave them some strength.

"Let's go."

Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Xu Xing got into the car and ordered the convoy to head back home.

The car chased after a number of zombies, their shattered corpses scattered, making their way home. They didn't encounter any more zombies daring to block their path, which made Xu Xing rather bored.

The car sped along, carrying with it a great deal of hope back to Jinghai City.

The survivors inside the vehicle stared wide-eyed in disbelief at everything before them; the skyscrapers were far superior to those in Kong City.

To put it bluntly, even in peacetime, ordinary people like these would find it very difficult to buy their own house in this expensive place, even if they worked their whole lives.

Today, with so many people dying, the larger the city, the more dangerous it becomes, while only those in the countryside are truly safe – a situation that has become ironic.

Of course, what surprised these survivors was not just the skyscrapers, but also the environment of Jinghai City.

Before Xu Xing's final battle with the zombies, in the city, you could see all sorts of tattered corpses every two steps, some even crawling with maggots, rotting and stinking.

The entire city was shrouded in smog and pollution, a veritable hell on earth.

After Xu Xing took over the entire city, in addition to reaping the spoils of war, he also cleaned up various things within the city.

This required a lot of hard work from them. Fortunately, they were all superhumans, so they managed to clean it up quite well, at least avoiding the kind of corpses that are scattered everywhere.

"Ooh~"

Suddenly, a huge ostrich leaped out, carrying a large, pale blue catfish in its beak, and swayed as it walked by.

The survivors inside the vehicle were terrified and dared not utter a sound. They had never seen anything like it before—an ostrich larger than a car, with a sharp beak like a pair of pliers, and they were afraid it would attack them.

Xu Xing, who was driving ahead, rolled down his car window, stuck half his head out, and shouted: "Get out of here, don't block the road, and don't scare me, or I'll dock your rations for three days."

Upon hearing this, the ostrich, like a defeated rooster, looked terrified and ran away, clucking loudly.

To the survivors, this was nothing short of a miracle.

"Isn't he afraid? And what's going on? Apart from that big ostrich, everything seems the same as before the disaster."

A survivor who still has some physical strength and is relatively active strikes up a conversation with the superhuman driver ahead.

The driver clicked his tongue, his face full of pride, and said, "You guys are really lucky. Here, the zombies have long been cleared out, and our boss has even subdued all the mutated beasts in this area."

"That big bird you just saw looks just like our boss's pet."

"Ah, really!" Those who heard this felt as if a thousand waves were surging in their hearts, making them even more convinced of their choice back then.

To be honest, when they followed Xu Xing, they were very uneasy. They were afraid that these people were just using them as cannon fodder or to attract zombies and feed them to the mutated beasts.

After all, quite a few forces in Kong City have done this before.

I wouldn't have risked my life to come here if I hadn't been forced into a corner.

Of course, many survivors in Kong City were highly suspicious of the purpose of recruiting them, so some of them did not come at all.

Xu Xing drove at the front, ignoring the petty thoughts of his men who had just recruited survivors.

Instead, he was quite grateful to himself for sparing Xiao Hong's life back then, as Xiao Hong had now advanced to the peak of level four and her body was becoming more and more like a dragon.
