Fifty minutes after breaking through the blockade of dozens of large trucks and off-road vehicles, the fourteen-vehicle survival team that had escaped all the way from Times Square in Shanghai finally saw the high steel wall that had been built in just three days ahead, and the watchtower standing at the corner of the wall.
Although the dark gray walls look cold and lack any aesthetic appeal, they are probably the most reassuring sight for survivors who see them.
Fourteen-vehicle survival self-rescue team:
[Waaaaah! We're here! We're finally here! Oh my god, we're almost at the safe zone!]
I can hardly believe I actually made it to the safe zone safely! Thank God, thank God, thank my ancestors for eighteen generations, and thank my good brother Fugui!
[Haha, we should thank ourselves and everyone else who helped each other. Although there were some ups and downs along the way, we still managed to survive to the end!]
Yes, yes, we survived in the end! But I never expected a helicopter to descend from the sky at the crucial moment. Heaven knows how cool it was when that handsome guy on the helicopter landed!
I've always suspected that this rich young man isn't an ordinary person. How could he be so good at feigning death and making sarcastic remarks? Now it seems my guess was absolutely right! This rich young man must be a special talent of the country, maybe even a special forces soldier!
[Haha, I don't think playing dead or taunting will make you a special forces soldier, right? But a special talent is definitely a special talent. Anyway, everyone's happy, we all reached the safe zone unharmed! Afterwards, we stayed together as a 14-vehicle survival team, continuing to strive for a better life!]
Then everyone in the group responded, and even if a few people didn't respond, it didn't affect the harmonious atmosphere.
However, inside the AI-modified vehicle, the wheelchair-bound boy Si Mingri, as described by the author, did not have the smile of someone who had finally reached a safe zone. He looked at the constantly refreshing discussion in the group chat, and finally turned off his phone with a cold face.
Then he turned his head and looked through the open sunroof at the sky behind him. There was a helicopter that looked so familiar that it made his legs ache, and it also stung his eyes.
This is the most advanced combat helicopter with super endurance capability that he personally modified for the Gold Corporation. There are only ten of them in the entire Gold Corporation.
Sanchez usually uses it for things that require force and cannot be done in the open. Of course, it is also the best escape machine.
Sanchez has always treasured these ten helicopters, never allowing anyone other than his own armed guards to fly them. So... why are Sanchez's helicopters here? And what is the identity of the long-haired youth rescued by Sanchez's helicopter?
For a moment, Si Mingri even suspected that the long-haired youth was coming for him.
However, he later denied this judgment—the fact that the long-haired youth helped Su Linlin was an impossible coincidence, and the three days they spent together afterward proved that the long-haired youth was a... good person.
Although that guy had a bad temper, never listened to him, and never took care of him like others would because of his poor health, he would sometimes even look at him like a delinquent.
But he was indeed a truly good person.
A good person would never be with Sanchez unless that good person is mentally challenged.
This long-haired Gou Fugui is clearly not mentally disabled.
He was also excessively cunning.
So he had to go check out the helicopter, and also see the people inside.
Ten minutes later, the convoy finally stopped in front of the entrance to the safe zone.
At this moment, a large number of people were waiting in front of the gate of the safe zone. They were all disaster survivors who had come after hearing the vehicle broadcast and seeing the mass text message sent to their mobile phones.
Before entering the safe zone, all people seeking refuge in Yanshi must undergo basic information registration and disinfection checks.
This is something everyone can understand. Moreover, because the mutation of the living dead caused by the liquid gold spreads very quickly, people who are bitten or infected will basically die and then develop symptoms within minutes. Therefore, survivors who come to the safe zone do not need to stay outside the gate for too long.
After registering, you only need to wait five minutes to enter the safe zone.
So even though the queue outside the safe zone was very long, by 2 p.m., all the people in the 14-vehicle convoy had entered the safe zone.
After entering the safe zone, Gou Fugui bid farewell to the positive and kind survivors he had spent three days with.
"Young Master Fugui, go do your big things! We all know you're no ordinary person, and we won't let you stay behind and hold you back."
"Thank you so much for your help along the way. We definitely wouldn't have made it out without you! I will remember you for the rest of my life! My whole family will also pray for you and ask the Holy Mother to protect you!"
"Go ahead, brother! This is my business card. My dad works in a gold mine. After this crisis is over, just come find me with this card, and I'll give you a ton of gold!"
"Thank you so much, big brother! We'll pray for your safety every day from now on!"
"Don't worry about us. If we all work together and use taunt tactics, we'll definitely survive to the end. Then, our surviving squad from car number fourteen will all get together for a feast!"
Listening to the words of concern and blessings from the people in the convoy, the long-haired young man smiled gently.
He doesn't need to say anything more, so just smile.
"Then I'm off to do something big. You all must live well and survive to the end."
Even if he can't drink with everyone then, he will raise a glass to celebrate in another world.
But now, he really is going to save the world.
After Gou Fugui finished speaking, he waved and turned around, leaving the most dashing silhouette in the eyes and hearts of these survivors.
...
After entering the base, Gou Fugui and Xie Tianlang were directly assigned to the accommodation area near the center of the safe zone.
After all, they own a valuable and high-end helicopter.
After they disembarked, a designated person came to discuss with them the right to borrow the helicopter.
In the current situation, air transportation is much more convenient than land transportation, and having one more helicopter means being able to do many more things.
"We will need to borrow the helicopter at least once every three days. Your food and lodging will be guaranteed during those three days."
"If you and the helicopter stay at our base, you can stay and eat for free indefinitely."
The person in charge first explained the first method of borrowing, and then smiled and said the second: "Of course, if you are willing to join the army of our Yanshi Security Zone, you will receive even better treatment."
Xie Tianlang and Gou Fugui exchanged a glance and finally decided to borrow the equipment every three days.
If they were ordinary people in this world, they wouldn't easily leave once they arrived in the safe zone until the disaster ended.
But for Gou Fugui and Xie Tianlang, their goal was to find the core of the world and fight for this world and their own world before the end of the world truly arrived.
Therefore, they cannot stay in one place forever. Once they discover traces of the world's core, no matter where the world's core is or how dangerous that place is, they must rush there immediately.
The person in charge didn't seem surprised by their choice. He led them to a spacious two-story villa that could accommodate a helicopter, and then turned and left.
This two-story villa was exquisitely decorated, fully furnished and equipped with all kinds of furniture and equipment. It was clearly enough for Gou Fugui and his six companions to live comfortably, and even enough for them to live here together when they found Qin Feng and other companions in the future.
Once inside the villa, everyone was finally able to sit down and discuss the potential end of the world.
Niu Baiwan, who looked the most honest and kind, got up and fetched a pot of water to make tea for everyone. Gou Fugui immediately remembered this old comrade-in-arms, Niu Baiwan, for his thoughtfulness.
"Hehe, everyone must be tired from the journey, especially Brother Fugui who just went through a crisis. Drinking a cup of hot water will help him analyze the situation better."
Old Niu spoke steadily.
Gou Fugui nodded, agreeing with what Lao Niu said.
So he looked directly at Xie Tianlang and asked the question that Song Sanchuan had always wanted to ask but dared not:
"I've already told you about my experiences with Sanchuan, Lao Niu, and Lao Ma. Now let me tell you about you."
"Where did you steal this plane from? And what about that savage who keeps pacing around the room? Don't tell me you were thrown into a primeval forest for the past three days."
Although Gou Fugui had already confirmed this in his heart, he still pretended to be completely unaware of it on the surface.
Let me emphasize again, this has nothing to do with his wealth; it's all the fault of global consciousness!
[...]
Xie Tianlang's face turned green for a moment when he heard the question, but it quickly turned into another kind of ugly expression.
"...I was indeed sent into the primeval forest."
"At first I thought it was a joke that was just asking for trouble, but now I think it's not a joke at all."
As he spoke, he glanced at Gou Fugui and said, "I want to see that bottle of liquid gold."
Gou Fugui raised his eyebrows and placed the bottle of liquid gold worth 500,000 on the table.
Xie Tianlang carefully examined the bottle of gold liquid for a moment, then took off his watch from upstairs and handed it to Song Sanchuan.
"Export the photos and videos inside, and then you'll know why I was sent into the primeval forest."
Song Sanchuan's fingers flew across the specially made notebook, and in less than a minute, he imported the photos and videos from Xie Tianlang's wristwatch into the computer.
When Gou Fugui, Song Sanchuan, Lao Niu, and Lao Ma saw the golden sea of flowers on the computer screen, their eyes widened in surprise.
"Ah!! Kwanghura! Kwanghura!"
Brown-skinned Xiao Ye, who had been curiously looking around the room, shouted excitedly the moment he saw the computer screen. At the same time, he made a high-handed upward gesture with both hands. His eyes were initially filled with joy and eagerness, but when he realized that it was just a fake "photo", that joy and eagerness instantly faded, replaced by a chilling, bone-deep hatred.
"Smoku!! Smoku—"
Xie Tianlang reached out and held down the brown-skinned youth who was about to go berserk and smash the computer, and briefly recounted his experience in the tribe in the primeval forest.
"Then the savage chief picked a golden flower and gave it to me to eat. He said that eating the golden flower would make my body stronger and more powerful."
Does this effect sound familiar?
Gou Fugui thought of the exaggerated advertisements that kept playing on the big screen.
Song Sanchuan blurted out, "It looks so familiar! Isn't that what the Golden Liquid advertises? It makes people beautiful, smart, strong, and even reverses aging!"
"But if these golden flowers are the raw material for the elixir of gold, then the efficacy is far too poor, isn't it? Is it the result of research and purification?"
"No, no, no, the golden flower isn't the point right now. The point is, is this thing the core of the world?! If so, if we just find the golden flower, can we end the apocalypse?!"
Song Sanchuan immediately became excited.
But Xie Tianlang poured cold water on him.
"It's not a flower."
As Xie Tianlang spoke, he took out the metal box containing the flower from his backpack.
"I had already tested it when I learned that the liquid gold had caused a global catastrophe. The golden flower is not the core, at least not this one that was picked."
Song Sanchuan seemed somewhat disappointed for a moment, and Ma Chenggong next to him asked, "Then the Golden Liquid, is it?"
Gou Fugui shook his head beside him: "No, not exactly. I tested it on the first night of the outbreak, and there was no reaction."
"So I think the core is most likely Dr. Sanchez, who developed the fifth-generation Golden Liquid. If it's not the doctor, then it should be the antidote for the fifth-generation Golden Liquid that he developed."
"After all, the current disaster is caused by the fifth-generation Golden Liquid. So as long as the problem of the Golden Liquid is solved, the apocalyptic disaster should also be resolved naturally."
The people inside paused for a moment, then realized that this was the right approach.
"Shall we go find Dr. Sanchez?"
Song Sanchuan looked around and asked the question.
Then, a mechanical voice, not belonging to anyone in the room, rang out inside.
If you go to Sanchez, forget about solving the apocalyptic disaster; you might not even be able to leave his lab alive.
Everyone in the room was instantly terrified.
Xie Tianlang narrowed his eyes, kicked away the sofa where Song Sanchuan and he were sitting, and immediately shot the mechanical spider, which was only half the size of a palm and gleaming with a metallic light, hiding under the sofa with the pistol at his waist.
The metal bullet made a crisp sound as it grazed the mechanical spider's exoskeleton.
At the same time, someone knocked on the door of the villa.
Si Mingri's cold voice came from outside.
"Everyone, I am Si Mingri."
"The creator of the first four generations of Golden Liquid".
"Please open the door."
