Jiang Ziyao is locked in shackles
Tianhai City is not as safe as imagined. From the moment Jiang Ziyao and Huo Chi set foot in this area, they discovered the storms hidden under the calm clouds of this city. They spent two days to determine the specific location of Utopia, but saw a large number of zombies gathering nearby. Their behavior was obviously controlled, so they collectively approached Utopia and surrounded it outside the city wall.
Behind the zombies are people.
Jiang Ziyao and Huo Chi did not approach immediately, but lurked nearby to observe Utopia's movements. He wrote in his diary, "If Utopia is unable to resolve these threats, then this is not a place worth approaching."
It was probably at some point in the evening, with lights flashing and cars roaring outside Utopia. There were about five people trying to attract the attention of the zombies. This process lasted for several hours, and the zombies were successfully gathered together and moved in one direction. Those people were very bold. If one pair of hands wanted to deal with thousands of mouths, unless they had explosive powers, they would be torn to pieces by the rioting zombies.
Jiang Ziyao admired the courage of these people.
But in the end, the zombies still showed unusual movements. Someone rashly broke their plans. To Jiang Ziyao's surprise, he saw silver-white electric wires flashing in the darkness. That was Bian Chengsi's special ability.
Jiang Ziyao and Huo Chi decided to go and find out what was going on. They saw Bian Chengsi alive and several women fighting with him.
Bian Chengsi had already been defeated. Every time he was seen, he was always in tatters, covered in dirt and with wounds on his body.
"Who are you?" asked the woman opposite. The woman who was speaking was angry and her tone was very harsh.
The woman talked for a long time, and Huo Chi replied with four words disdainfully: "Not civilized."
"Are you serious?" Jiang Ziyao asked Huo Chi.
Huo Chi hummed, his face always showing a cold and serious expression.
Although the occasion was not appropriate, Jiang Ziyao still laughed out loud. He was laughing at Huo Chi. He really didn't expect the word "civilized" to come out of Huo Chi's mouth.
In the twenty years that Huo Chi lived, he was always talkative. He learned that from some thugs on the street. He used to swear a lot and was very vicious. Later, when he started working and learned the ways of the workplace, he became more and more obedient.
The 20-year-old Huo Chi was still furious, but the 27-year-old Huo Chi was already intimidating without even getting angry. After all, he was almost 30 years old, so they naturally would not bully girls verbally.
So they just started fighting
It is a consensus among everyone that force has always been the fastest way to resolve problems.
Their opponents were a well-coordinated team, with the women cooperating very well. With the two of them plus Bian Chengsi, the opponents were at a disadvantage when the two aggressive ones had the upper hand. Then, the long-haired woman who had been watching joined the battlefield.
Jiang Ziyao could tell at a glance that she was the boss among these people. She had a magnetic personality, was calm, and was also a general who had experienced many battles.
Flames flew, lightning flashed and thunder roared. There was no fault in the cooperation between Huo Chi and Jiang Ziyao. Neither side tried to kill the other. It was just that the boss's supernatural firepower was so strong that it was a bit unfair. Jiang Ziyao and Huo Chi felt a little tired. But before the winner was decided, they were attacked first.
Jiang Ziyao and Huo Chi helped them to make up for their losses, but people still died in the base. He saw many panicked faces. At least the people here were not numb yet, which was better than he thought.
"If it weren't for you, the zombies wouldn't have a chance to sneak in." One of the women glared at Bian Chengsi.
"There's no point in saying these things, and besides, he is not under our jurisdiction." The boss's attention was not on Bian Chengsi, she walked in front of Jiang Ziyao and Huo Chi.
Huo Chi stared at her in silence. The woman smiled and said, "Wang Yu."
It was an aggressive face, and the woman took the initiative to introduce herself: "Captain of the Second Law Enforcement Team, a mid-level person can perform at such a level, which shows that you have great potential, you have a good understanding, and you have some humanity. The lunatics of the Saints are not like you, so I would like to invite you to join Utopia and join the Law Enforcers."
"Law enforcer?"
"Law enforcer, a synonym for using strength to gain power."
"These are my team members. Only mid-level and above aliens are qualified to join the law enforcers."
"Mo Yu."
"Liu Xin."
"My name is Zhou Ting."
"Su Yunyun."
The group of girls gave their names one by one, and their wills were parallel to those of their leader.
"Jiang Ziyao."
"Ho Chi."
The Inhuman Defense System is made up of law enforcers and duty enforcers, and the team seen here lives up to the reputation of Utopia.
[This might be a place to stay.]
Jiang Ziyao decided to join Utopia.
That night was a bit chaotic. Bian Chengsi stood silently aside without saying a word. Only after Wang Yu left did Jiang Ziyao walk towards him.
"I didn't expect you were still alive."
Jiang Ziyao said.
"Luck." Bian Chengsi used these two words to evaluate. It had been two weeks since they last separated, and he had no plans to share his experiences with Jiang Ziyao.
"Jiang Ziyao."
Bian Chengsi said expressionlessly: "This is your name. I will remember it."
With that, he left. Dressed entirely in black, he quickly blended into the night.
After that, Jiang Ziyao hadn't seen Bian Chengsi for a long time. He and Huo Chi followed Wang Yu's team. Sometimes they went out and sometimes they stayed outside the base. Bian Chengsi went to the first team. The mission locations of the two teams overlapped, so there was no chance for them to meet.
Soon, Jiang Ziyao spent a New Year in Utopia, and he met a child named Wang Youyou, who called him Uncle Jiang.
Jiang Ziyao is already thirty years old. The child calls him uncle, and he will take time to accompany the child. She can only stay in the house, while the children in Utopia can comfortably make little people in the sand pile.
Wang Yu told Jiang Ziyao her weakness, and they could be called friends. Jiang Ziyao had not had any interpersonal communication for a long time. In the third year of the apocalypse, he only had two familiar faces, Wang Yu and Bian Chengsi.
It’s just that Bian Chengsi’s life was not going well. He originally had some relationship with the Zhou family, but two months after he entered Utopia, Jiang Ziyao heard the news that his engagement was broken off. He was humiliated, and Jiang Ziyao could always hear the ridicule coming from other people’s mouths.
Bian Chengsi is always alone, and no one can find him after an action, but he is still a member of the law enforcers. His captain is Zhou Zhe, the son of the city lord.
In May, the Saints launched an attack, assaulting both towers simultaneously.
The guards of the East Watchtower were completely wiped out. When Jiang Ziyao went to support them, the enemy had already broken into a factory.
The opponent was very strong and Jiang Ziyao couldn't hold on for long. He heard Huo Chi's voice before he was seriously injured and fell into coma.
Huo Chi caught him.
When Jiang Ziyao woke up again, he was already in the infirmary receiving treatment by Ye Qian. He heard the piercing explosion and Wang Yu.
Jiang Ziyao asked first: "Is there still a gunfight outside? Where is Huo Chi?"
Wang Yu replied: "Your boyfriend is seeking justice for you. Now that you have woken up, I have a reason to ask them to stop this unnecessary fight."
Huo Chi and the first team of law enforcers started fighting. After Wang Yu took the message out, he quickly rushed back.
Huo Chi had a head full of yellow sand. Jiang Ziyao looked at him silently. He didn't have many injuries, but he had consumed a lot of energy and was gasping for breath.
It was Huo Chi who took the initiative to find the first team. After he made sure that Jiang Ziyao was out of danger, he went outside to block them.
"They didn't show up where they were supposed to be, and that was their dereliction of duty, but it made you pay the price," Huo Chi said.
When he stood up, Jiang Ziyao found that he seemed to have grown taller, and even his eyebrows and eyes became sharper. Huo Chi's steady tone was filled with anger, "This makes me angry."
Jiang Ziyao couldn't help but want to touch his head, and Huo Chi lowered his head quietly.
Huo Chi beat an entire team by himself, everyone was injured, but Huo Chi still hadn't lost.
"He is already a high-level one." Wang Yu told him, "Except for the one next to you, I am afraid no one has the ability to deal with the core members of the two Saints at once. You should have heard the explosion. That was his power. It was amazing."
Jiang Ziyao nodded and looked at Huo Chi with a smile: "I heard it."
[Huo Chi's ability has evolved from Fire to Blast. I'm really proud of him.]
Although it was Huo Chi who initiated the friction, the problem lay with the First Law Enforcement Team. Zhou Zhe quickly brought his team members to apologize to Jiang Ziyao in disgrace.
As the son of the city lord, Zhou Zhe was not arrogant and his attitude was very sincere when he apologized.
Zhou Zhe said it was due to personal reasons.
"Because of feelings?"
Jiang Ziyao immediately saw through his thoughts.
Zhou Zhe did not deny: "Yes."
Jiang Ziyao said: "Then Huo Chi should really teach you a lesson."
Zhou Zhe nodded: "Yes."
He was also somewhat taciturn.
Jiang Ziyao didn't expect that the cunning old man would give birth to a heartless son. Jiang Ziyao had a new impression of Zhou Zhe, and later he became familiar with the first team.
After receiving the news that Wang Yu was in danger, Zhou Zhe's team immediately participated in the support. The people of the Saint Society were really difficult to deal with, but the advantage was on Utopia. Jiang Ziyao and his team did not get entangled with them and evacuated with the wounded first.
"There will be someone among the saints who can control our actions." Wang Yu said to Jiang Ziyao when she was being rescued, "I am more inclined to believe that one of them has this ability."
"Also, I want to say thank you."
The group of girls stood beside Wang Yu with tears in their eyes and bowed to Jiang Ziyao together.
Utopia is facing internal and external troubles, and ordinary people are dissatisfied with the loopholes in the defense line. Such contradictions will sooner or later cause a big outbreak. Huo Chi's suggestion is to leave. He just proposes a choice, and the one who makes the decision is Jiang Ziyao.
Jiang Ziyao always chooses to avoid risks, but he wrote in his diary: [Staying in Utopia means taking risks, but I did not choose to leave. Some things have changed. I want to stay in this place with people.]
The defensive fortress formed by the aliens was still strong, the Saints had subsided for a long time, and Utopia was able to rejuvenate and regain vitality.
There are always people who want to spar with Huo Chi, except Chen Yu. The law enforcers tried to break through Huo Chi's blasting defense line, but under the strong firepower, fancy supernatural powers are useless.
Chen Yu would come to Jiang Ziyao to drink at this time.
Chen Yu has never been trained, but he is a real high-level alien.
"My power is called luck, which means that the goddess of luck will always be with me. If anyone wants to kill me, then he will be in trouble."
On the battlefield, he is the only one who can remain unscathed.
Chen Yu could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, and Jiang Ziyao watched him drinking alone.
There are not many opportunities for all of them to get together. The last time they were all together was at Wang Youyou’s birthday party. Even though the two teams were in their own small groups, on the battlefield, they all had a tacit understanding that transcended life and death.
Bian Chengsi always stayed in a corner. He didn't make any noise and seemed aloof even in the First Squad. His gaze was fixed in one direction and his eyes betrayed his calm appearance.
"Jiang Ziyao?" Bian Chengsi seemed to not like others getting too close to him.
When Jiang Ziyao took the initiative to walk towards him, he was a little surprised and a little repulsed.
Jiang Ziyao asked him decisively, "You have been staring at that girl for a long time. Peeping is not what a man should do to a girl."
Bian Chengsi replied coldly: "What do you want to say to me?"
Jiang Ziyao said, "Since you like her, go talk to her. There are flames here, and Captain Zhou is playing a song. Why not ask her to dance with you?"
Bian Chengsi's eyes dimmed: "She doesn't like me."
Jiang Ziyao said: "How do you know she doesn't like you?"
Bian Chengsi was silent for a while and said, "I should go now."
Jiang Ziyao gave him one last piece of advice: "If you miss this opportunity, don't regret it in the future. Time will not give people a second chance."
"Mind your own business." Bian Chengsi replied coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Chi grabbed his collar and threw him against the pillar.
Bian Chengsi's back hit the wood, and the blow made his head clearer. "Watch your attitude." Huo Chi put his elbow against his neck and warned in a deep voice.
Bian Chengsi did not resist, he knew he was no match for Huo Chi. Huo Chi's dark eyes were like an abyss and his movements were too oppressive.
Someone glanced over. Huo Chi knew his limits, so he gave another warning and let Bian Chengsi go.
"Go ahead." Jiang Ziyao said, "Go to bed early."
Bian Chengsi said nothing. He lowered his head and put on his hood. The hood blocked the light and covered his entire face. He turned around silently.
"Brother Jiang, don't bother with him." Huo Chi said sullenly.
Jiang Ziyao shook his head, "That girl left too."
"I think I hit a sore spot for him."
He said: "It's a pity that there will be two people missing when taking pictures. Youyou would prefer everyone to be there."
“There’s always going to be someone missing.”
"Let's go." Huo Chi held Jiang Ziyao's hand.
Jiang Ziyao looked back, but Bian Chengsi was no longer in his sight.
Even though two years have passed, Jiang Ziyao is still not sure whether the choice he made at that time was the most correct and worthwhile one.
Bian Chengsi killed someone. When the situation between aliens and ordinary people was at a white-hot stage, he killed an ordinary person. The mistake made by Bian Chengsi made it impossible for him to gain a foothold in Utopia.
"I will leave."
Bian Chengsi said at the time that there was no excitement on his face and he packed his things immediately. He had very few things, only two sets of clothes and a necklace, and it was Jiang Ziyao who stopped him.
Jiang Ziyao said: "I have a way to keep you here."
Bian Chengsi asked back: "Why should I stay?"
Jiang Ziyao asked: "Someone is trying to harm you, and you choose to run away?"
Bian Chengsi was smarter than Jiang Ziyao expected. He said, "I know, and he succeeded. Everyone wants me to leave. There is no need for me to stay."
"You are not even twenty years old yet. Aren't you afraid of being alone? If you were not worried about the people around you getting hurt, why would you be so anxious to act and make mistakes?" Jiang Ziyao said, "I will help you find the murderer. He is the one who should get out of Utopia."
"Someone loves you, someone cares about you, you are not alone."
Bian Chengsi finally showed some different emotions on his face. He was even a little shocked and asked what was in his heart: "Jiang Ziyao, why did you help me?"
"I thought we were friends," Jiang Ziyao replied, "After all, we've all been through life and death many times."
Bian Chengsi was silent. He stared at Jiang Ziyao for a long time, and finally said, "I owe you a favor, and I will pay you back."
"Did you know?"
Jiang Ziyao said behind him: "The person you like has been watching you all the time, and she is here too."
Bian Chengsi didn't dare to look back.
Three days later, it was already the winter solstice. Bian Chengsi appeared in front of everyone holding a handful of clean soil and normal mung bean sprouts. He told everyone that he had found a solution to soil pollution. He brought hope to everyone and he would be a hero.
How can a hero's small mistake be considered a mistake?
His shovel can purify the land. Jiang Ziyao has been hiding this ability of his. Some bad experiences have told him that if this secret is exposed, it will cause a lot of trouble.
But retaining this ability would also be a waste of natural resources, so he let Bian Chengsi replace him. No one could easily shake Bian Chengsi's position in Utopia. At the same time, he would also take risks on behalf of Jiang Ziyao.
But the result was not as smooth as he had imagined. Jiang Ziyao didn't know how Zhou Kangcheng discovered his secret, and Jiang Ziyao didn't know that Ye Qian was working for Zhou Kangcheng. After all, he was deceived by the person who looked so much like his mother. Ye Qian injected poison into his food using the method she used to deal with the enemy.
Jiang Ziyao was brought before Zhou Kangcheng, and he once again became a lamb to be slaughtered.
"Who am I in your eyes?"
Zhou Kangcheng was high up, and he had already secured victory.
"You are the lord of the city, you are the master of Utopia."
Huo Chi stared at him, suppressing the rage in his heart because he could hear Jiang Ziyao's disordered breathing beside him.
Zhou Kangcheng said coldly: "Kneel down."
Huo Chi glanced at Jiang Ziyao, and just one glance was enough for him to make up his mind. He bent his knees and knelt on the ground.
Zhou Kangcheng raised his foot and stepped heavily on Huo Chi's shoulder.
Huo Chi said nothing and lowered his head.
"very good."
Zhou Kangcheng laughed with satisfaction: "Yiren is always on one side, you all have to understand this, just be the knife in my hand and don't act rashly. I have many ways to make him live a life worse than death. Doctor Ye, he is in your hands."
Ye Qian nodded and put shackles on Jiang Ziyao. He was locked in a dark cage, and not only him but also Huo Chi was trapped.
It turns out that there is such a secret hidden in the basement.
In 3910, Jiang Ziyao spent a New Year's Eve in a cage. After being locked in the basement, he only saw Ye Qian and Wang Yu. Most of the time, Jiang Ziyao was not locked. Ye Qian just injected him with a drug that made him unable to move. He was sometimes awake and sometimes asleep, and he could always hear some screams in his ears.
The only thing Jiang Ziyao could do was to rub the ring in the cage that belonged to him.
Under Huo Chi's strong pressure, Zhou Kangcheng gave them only one night to meet.
Huo Chi stroked his thin face and kissed him: "I'll take you out, soon."
Huo Chi assured him.
Everyone said this, but only Huo Chi succeeded in planting a seed in his heart.
Later, Jiang Ziyao wrote in his diary: [No matter how long the night is, as long as Huo Chi is here, there will be light.]
