Chapter 101: City 1 Safety Zone.
Before the meal was finished, some blind alien creatures approached nearby and were noticed by a group of psychics from a distance.
Zhou Tai put down his bowl, stretched his arms, and stood up. "I'll take care of it."
"Be careful. If it's a Class B, remember to give us a signal." Liang Nan reminded him as he stood up.
Liu Yang also put down his bowl and stood up. "I'll go with Brother Tai. I'm almost done eating, too."
Zhou Tai glanced at him and didn't object, and the two of them walked away, one in front and the other behind.
Watching them disappear, Jiang Jie turned his head and said casually, "You've recruited quite a few talented people."
"It's all fate," Liang Nan heard, glancing at Li Yuan beside him. "Li Yuan, Zhou Tai, and a few of the brothers who stayed in the safe zone to help me protect my brother, we met on the road. They knew I wanted to set up a safe zone, so we teamed up. Thanks to their trust, they're willing to let my brother and I manage the entire safe zone."
Hearing her say this, Li Yuan continued, "You are the most capable among us, and Deputy District Commander Liang is intelligent. It is only natural for you to manage the safe zone. Moreover, you saved my life before, so I am willing to accept you as my leader."
Liang Nan smiled and hit his shoulder when she heard that. In fact, the man was a few years older than her, even a year older than her brother, but he was willing to follow behind a little girl like her and call her boss all the time, which was also out of trust in her.
"Where is Liu Yang?" Jiang Yan asked casually while eating noodles.
"Liu Yang, he joined the safe zone after it was founded, along with his two companions." Liang Nan also took a bite of noodles before saying, "This kid has a good personality and is very popular in the zone."
As she finished her words, the sound of fighting was heard in the distance. It seemed that the two people who had left had already faced the mutant head-on.
Liang Nan and Li Yuan's attention was drawn over there, and they kept turning their heads to pay attention to the situation over there.
Jiang Jie temporarily dropped the topic. After all, he would be going back to the safe zone with them, and there would be plenty of opportunities to find out. Asking too many questions at once might cause unnecessary suspicion. After all, they were his own people now.
The two people who went out to deal with the mutant came back after a while. It seemed that the opponent was just an ordinary C-level.
"Oh, so disappointing. I didn't even fight hard enough. It was over before I even warmed up." Zhou Tai smugly tossed the crystal back and walked away. When he sat down, he grabbed it in his hand and casually put it in his pocket. "It's already been burned to ashes by my flames."
Liu Yang, who also sat down, nodded and said, "Brother Tai's moves were so smooth that I was of no use at all. I was just watching."
Zhou Tai snorted proudly, raised his chin complacently, picked up his half bowl of slightly cold noodles, and ate it in just a few bites. He looked very happy to be coaxed.
Jiang Jie turned and glanced at Liu Yang, but quickly looked away before the other party noticed.
After lunch, they searched the rest of the city and then set off on their return journey.
The temperature has risen recently, and there is no longer as much snow and ice on the road as before. In order to ensure that they can reach the safe zone in City L smoothly before dark, they drove faster.
When the tires rolled over, snow and water flew everywhere, and a lot of it splashed onto the car body. I'm afraid I'll have to wash the car after this trip.
Along the way, we basically didn't stop much except when we encountered mutant creatures.
But Liang Nan and the others found it strange that they had not encountered a single B-level mutant in such a long time. They were still thinking about collecting a few more B-level crystals. Recently, her superpowers had reached a critical point, and she needed these energies to consolidate her evolution. What she collected in the past two days was not enough.
But what they didn't expect was that there were actually one or two B-level mutants approaching, but they were scared away by Jiang Jie's breath before they noticed it. He was the only one who noticed this.
Therefore, after it became completely dark, they were able to successfully reach the outskirts of the L City safety zone.
From a distance, you can see the lights of the buildings shining through the high walls. It seems that the circuits here have been repaired and can be used normally.
It is always more dangerous outside after dark. The gates at the high walls of the safe zone are closed and no one goes in or out.
However, there was a special person on duty. When he saw that it was their district chief's car, he quickly opened the door and let it pass.
Lin Mian observed the high wall closely through the car window. It looked like it was made of earth and stone. It was a little less safe than the metal wall in the official safe zone. However, it must have taken a lot of effort to build such a large-scale high wall.
"This kind of wall should have been built by earth-type mutants working together. It is much faster. Although it is not as good as the metal wall in the official safe zone, it is also stronger than ordinary earth walls." Noticing his gaze looking outside, Jiang Jie began to explain.
Lin Mian turned his head when he heard the voice and asked, "Brother Jie, do you even know this?"
Jiang Jie certainly knew this. The outer high walls of the security zone he established in his previous life were also built in this way. It should be said that most private security zones use this method.
They do not have as many resources as the official safe zone, and most of the time they have to rely on their own abilities to create everything.
"You can see it." Jiang Jie said.
Lin Mian observed it carefully and indeed saw the difference.
Compared to those built bit by bit, these earth and stone walls look more complete and don't have so many joints. It's just that the light is too dim now and it's not very clear. Only the eyesight of those with special abilities can tell the difference.
After the car entered the safe zone and quickly moved away from the earth wall, he withdrew his gaze.
The off-road vehicle in front drove all the way to the central area. After dark, the temperature dropped again and there were no more people outside.
There were lights coming out of some of the buildings along the way, and it was obvious that people were living there.
Their car eventually drove into an apartment complex and stopped downstairs of one of the buildings.
After getting out of the car, Liang Nan stretched and exercised his body. Although they took turns driving along the way, he still felt stiff after sitting in the car for so long.
After relaxing her body, she turned around and said, "You all should go back and rest first. We'll talk about other things tomorrow."
After running around for several days, suddenly returning to a familiar place, even a person with superpowers would feel tired. Several people did not bother to be polite with her and went upstairs first.
Before leaving, Liu Yang glanced towards the RV, and not knowing what he was thinking, he quickly turned around and left.
It was still a bit chilly at night. Liang Nan rubbed his hands, turned around, and saw Jiang Jie and the others getting out of the car. He quickly walked over and said, "Brother Jiang, Lin Mian, most of the superpowered people in our district live here. There are still rooms available in this building. You can choose the one you like later."
After she finished speaking, she touched her nose embarrassedly and said, "It's been a while since anyone has lived here, so you might have to clean it up yourself. I'll help you later and call my brother too."
"Okay, thank you." Lin Mian thanked her and was taken upstairs with Jiang Jie.
This apartment building is quite tall, probably about 30 or 40 floors. It looks like it was once a high-end apartment, a large flat with one household per floor, similar to where Jiang Jie lived before.
Liang Nan and her brother live on the 26th floor, and most of the houses above them are vacant.
For privacy reasons, Jiang Jie chose to move up two floors and planned to settle down on the 29th floor.
They have repaired the circuits in the area, and the elevators in the building are not damaged and can be used normally.
"Luckily, the previous sandstorm didn't hit this area too hard. Otherwise, there would be a lot of damage, and I don't know how long it would take to recover," Liang Nan said, leaning casually against the elevator wall, sharing his feelings at the time. "I heard that some areas were hit hard by strong winds, and the damage was so severe that people couldn't even stay on the ground. The entire city has suffered extensive damage."
Who said it wasn’t true? Lin Mian thought to himself, they had experienced it themselves.
"We were lucky enough to avoid the hailstorm a while ago," Liang Nan said, somewhat proudly. "The city my brother and I chose is truly a prime location for feng shui."
"Maybe it's just your good luck," Lin Mian continued, "so it also affected the safe zone."
People like him and Brother Ji are unlucky. They always get caught up by chance.
"That makes sense," Liang Nan touched the scar on his face, "I've narrowly escaped death many times."
The elevator went all the way up to the 29th floor. Since no one lived there, it was pitch black outside when it opened. Liang Nan snapped his fingers, and the sensor light in the corridor was very sensitive and lit up the next second.
The residential complexes here all have induction code locks, but they usually have keyholes. Liang Nan turned his head and blinked, "Brother Jiang, you have to open it yourself."
After the apocalypse, the community was ownerless and they had no place to find the key. If they didn't want to destroy the gate, they could only rely on their special abilities to open it, among which water was the most useful.
Jiang Jie was familiar with this matter. He walked forward under the sight of the two people and opened the door in less than two minutes.
There was a faint smell of dust inside. Jiang Jie raised his hand and fanned it twice in front of him, then stepped in, touched the switch at the entrance, and light appeared in front of him.
Liang Nan looked inside and saw that there was nothing wrong. He said, "Then you go in first. I'll go downstairs and tell my brother. I'll be up soon."
After she got into the elevator, Lin Mian took a good look around the house. The decoration inside was quite good, with furniture and everything, but there were no obvious signs of life. It seemed that its previous owner did not live here permanently.
There are two livable bedrooms and a study. The master bedroom not only has a bathroom, but is also connected to a dressing room. There are still a lot of clothes hanging in it, both for men and women.
Lin Mian tried to turn on the faucet in the bathroom. There was water. He leaned in and smelled it, but there was no obvious odor. He thought the surrounding water sources were not polluted, so at least taking a shower would not be a big problem.
He turned to the man leaning against the door and said, "Let's clean up the bedroom first today."
Jiang Yan nodded to him, walked forward and hugged him, "You can have a good sleep tonight."
Sleeping outdoors at night will inevitably cause disturbances from alien creatures, but the safe zone is relatively quiet.
Lin Mian looked up and kissed the mole under his lip.
Jiang Jie lowered his eyes, bent his head and kissed his lips.
With a "ding" sound, Lin Mian sensitively caught the sound of the elevator door opening outside, followed by the footsteps of two people walking out.
Remembering that they didn't close the door when they came in, he quickly pushed the man away, covered his mouth and ran out of the bathroom.
Jiang Jie's embrace fell into emptiness. He raised his hand, wiped the corner of his mouth with his knuckles, and followed out slowly.
