Chapter 60 Meeting
About an hour later, the hundreds of people who came in with Nan'er left from the underground, each carrying a large sack of supplies.
Jiang Rong and Zhao Runguo were walking at the end of the team, and Nan Er was following behind them.
"I'll bring a few people to send you two back later. Also, if you want to join us in Guangming someday, you can always come to the original government building to find us." Nan Er whispered beside the two of them.
Jiang Rong naturally nodded in response.
"Nan'er, I have a few friends, but we got separated from them when we came out because there were too many mutant beasts outside. Their names are Chen Ru and Xie Lei. If you meet them one day, can you tell them for me and I'll wait for them at home, okay?" Jiang Rong said with some concern.
If she remembered correctly, when they separated, Jiang Miao followed Chen Ru, and Jiang Shang followed Xie Lei, so she only mentioned the names of Chen Ru and Xie Lei at this moment.
She was afraid that if she said four names, people would not be able to remember them.
In addition, she only said that she was waiting at home, but did not specify which home.
If Nan Er really met Chen Ru and the others, and they heard what Nan Er said, they would probably think that he had returned to the village to wait for them. Under normal circumstances, they would go straight back to the village.
At this moment, Jiang Rong just hoped that they would be more vigilant and not be so stupid as to introduce themselves to others directly.
"Of course, helping the people is also our bright responsibility and obligation." Nan Er patted his chest proudly.
"Thanks."
"Besides collecting supplies, what else do you need to do on a daily basis?" Jiang Rong chatted with Nan Er intentionally or unintentionally.
"Well... some teams are responsible for clearing out the mutant beasts that have occupied certain areas, some teams are responsible for counting and registering the survivors, and some are responsible for distributing supplies..." Nan Er and Jiang Rong gave several examples.
"What we lack most now are medical personnel and medical supplies. Most people with special abilities have stronger recovery abilities than ordinary people, but ordinary people, due to low temperatures and other reasons, have a high incidence of illness and death, especially the elderly and children."
Nan'er is a very outgoing person, so whenever their team meets new people like Jiang Rong and Uncle Zhao, he is the one who goes up to talk to them. In addition, he has a very good impression of Jiang Rong and the other two, so even if Jiang Rong doesn't ask, he can't help but chatter about what he knows now.
Jiang Rong and Zhao Runguo looked at each other when they heard this.
Jiang Rong then asked: "May I ask, how many people with special abilities do you have in Guangming now?"
She wanted to confirm her previous guess.
"Maybe around 6,000." Nan'er responded proudly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Rong lowered his eyes and frowned slightly. It was less than she had imagined.
"We have six thousand Light people, while the Skeleton and Ice people have less than a thousand. Plus, there are some people who are unwilling to join either side just like you, and there are still many areas that we cannot enter at all, so...anyway, six thousand is a lot." Although Nan Er talks a lot and seems a bit familiar, he is meticulous and good at observing people's expressions.
Looking at Jiang Rong's reaction at this moment, he thought that she felt that it was not enough, so he quickly explained.
"So that's how it is." Jiang Rong listened to his explanation and responded with a faint smile.
The distance from the underground shopping mall to the outside exit is about two hundred meters, while the distance from the outside of the shopping mall to the Xijiao community is about five hundred meters.
Not close, nor far.
After getting outside, Nan Er took ten people who were temporarily assigned to escort the two of them back.
Because all the mutant earthworms underground are dead now, walking underground is not a difficult task for them now.
They definitely didn't dare to walk on the ground, because the teams responsible for 'cleaning' in the light hadn't arrived here yet.
In short, you can only go underground.
A group of people were wandering around underground, and the two earth-type mutants in the lead had to emerge from the ground from time to time to determine their location.
After walking about one-third of the distance, they encountered a group of people underground.
Jiang Rong was still standing at the end of the team, while Uncle Zhao followed the two earth-type ability users in the lead to open up the underground space.
Jiang Rong looked at the person in front of her who suddenly stopped, her eyes a little confused, but because most of the people in front were half a head taller than her, she had no idea what was going on in front for a moment.
At this time, Nan'er squeezed forward from behind.
"What's wrong?"
Nan Er's voice echoed in the small space.
As soon as Nan Er finished asking the question, his eyes fell on the larger underground space opposite.
There were about twenty strange-looking people standing there. Some were blue, some were red, some had long ears on their heads, and some had human faces and bodies of animals.
Leading the group were two people covered in feathers.
???
Nan Er was surprised when he saw this, and there was a question mark on his head.
The natural disaster has been going on for more than a month, and he claims that he has seen at least a thousand people with superpowers, if not eight hundred.
But so far we have rarely seen such bizarre evolution. When did this new force emerge?
"We are from the light, which force are you from?" Nan Er has never been very fond of people from other new forces, so his attitude when he spoke was very ordinary, even a little cold, which was completely different from the way he was talking to Jiang Rong and others before.
The people on the opposite side looked at the Nan'er group who suddenly appeared with even calmer and more indifferent expressions, as if they were looking at a group of ants, with complete disdain.
However, the two leaders still carefully scanned all the people present on the opposite side.
During the whole process, their eyes only stayed on the half of Jiang Rong's face that was exposed for a while.
As for this, Jiang Rong kept his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart.
In fact, I was still a little nervous.
Because the guardian spirit that had suddenly become uneasy and restless in the space had already told her that the group of guys opposite who looked neither human nor beast were the bad guys that forced it and Qin Sang to hide in the space.
The two birdmen in the lead, after confirming that the person they were looking for was not among the group of people opposite, looked at Nan Er who had just stepped forward to ask questions with contempt, then casually stretched out their hands and made a gesture.
In just a moment, those strange-looking people disappeared from the spot.
At this moment, a solid earth wall appeared again opposite Nan Er and others.
During the whole process, they paid no attention to Nan Er's self-introduction and questions, and their attitude was extremely arrogant.
Nan'er looked at the earth wall with a unhappy expression.
I secretly thought in my heart, I don’t know where these new forces came from, and they are so arrogant!
Jiang Rong observed the situation in front of him through the gaps between the people's shoulders. After confirming that those guys had completely left, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt a lot more relieved.
After that, the journey was smooth as there were three earth-type ability users clearing the way, and they arrived at the Xijiao community smoothly.
"Just drop us off here. We can go back by ourselves. Thank you very much for dropping us off this time." Jiang Rong said sincerely.
"It's okay. Protecting your safety is what we should do."
Nan'er has received a lot of thanks during this period. He was a little embarrassed at first, but because he has experienced so much later, he can now accept these thanks without any pressure and without changing his expression.
Jiang Rong and the other man nodded, and then watched Nan Er and the others leave before turning around and heading towards Building 7 of Xijiao Community.
About ten minutes later, the two reached the bottom of the building.
This is a newly developed residential area. There are very few residents living upstairs. There are probably no more than 20 households in the entire 25-story building.
Jiang Rong's family occupied four households.
At this time, the door to the corridor was locked, so Jiang Rong and Zhao Runguo still went in from the basement.
The entire country was without water and electricity at the moment, so of course they couldn't take the elevator and could only climb up the Internet floor by floor.
Fortunately, Jiang Rong and Zhao Runguo are now both superpowers, and their physical fitness is much better than before, so they didn't die of exhaustion in the corridor...
Another reason may be that the doors upstairs and downstairs were locked, and there were few people in this building, so there were almost no mutant beasts in the corridor.
Jiang Rong and his companion went upstairs safely.
However, during this period, when they passed the 10th, 16th and 20th floors, they could tell from the rapid and strong collision sounds coming from the security doors that a resident on the third floor might have...
Jiang Rong and Zhao Runguo quickened their pace at this time, taking two steps at a time and running towards the top floor.
However, just as they were about to completely skip the 20th floor and step onto the 21st floor, Zhao Runguo's hesitant voice rang out.
"Xiao Rong, there seems to be someone else in that house."
As Zhao Runguo's supernatural powers continue to improve, his perception of the surrounding soil, stones, etc. is becoming stronger and stronger.
Just a moment ago, he suddenly discovered that there might be two survivors in the house that was most likely invaded by mutant beasts.
And based on the load-bearing sensation from the ground, one of the two people might be a young child.
Jiang Rong paused for a moment when he heard this, and then stopped.
After a while, he said, "Go down and take a look."
The two returned along the same route and a moment later appeared in the room where Zhao Runguo sensed that someone was there.
Jiang Rong was somewhat relieved at this moment. Fortunately, he brought Uncle Zhao out with him, otherwise their journey would have been even more difficult.
The room they entered was a small room. According to their observations when they just came in, this room was separated from the living room outside by a large bedroom.
If you think about this, you must break through the large bedroom, and then break through the door of this room to get in.
At this moment, the mutant beast outside the house has only broken through the door of the master bedroom.
When they just came in, they cooperated to kill a giant ragdoll cat. They took a quick look at the large bedroom and saw blood splattered on the thick quilt, the colorful tiles, and the pure white walls.
If it were a human, it would probably be gone.
After Jiang Rong and Zhao Runguo entered the small room, they found a crib and a small wooden bed.
But when they looked, there was no one in the crib or the cot.
Jiang Rong frowned and looked at Zhao Runguo with some confusion.
Where are the people?
Zhao Runguo, through his perception of the ground and walls, fixed his eyes on a small cloth closet in the house.
He pointed.
Jiang Rong looked in the direction of Zhao Runguo's finger, but didn't see anything unusual. However, he could guess in his heart that he might be hiding in the small closet.
Afterwards, the two of them walked cautiously to the closet, and Jiang Rong reached out and slowly unzipped the zipper, which had a slight gap at the top.
Zhao Runguo stood guard on the side.
Jiang Rong slowly pulled down the iron zipper until it was one-third of the way down. Then he saw the little boy sitting under a pile of hanging clothes and the frozen body of a baby in his arms.
The little boy's eye sockets were sunken and his face looked extremely haggard. There was not much fear in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Rong. There was basically only dullness in his eyes.
He neither called out nor shouted at this moment, but held the stiff and purple body of the baby tightly in his hands, staring straight at Jiang Rong.
After looking for a long time, there was a bit more hostility in his eyes, and then he tightened his arms around the corpse and forgot to shrink his body even more.
Jiang Rong looked at the little boy and his mind instantly recalled those people he had seen in the past whose families were broken up and who were displaced. His heart suddenly felt heavy.
"Xiao Rong, let's bring the person out first?" Zhao Runguo reminded Jiang Rong as he looked at him who suddenly stopped.
Jiang Rong came back to her senses after hearing this, her eyes narrowed slightly, and then she calmed down. Then she was about to open her mouth to coax the person out, but the light in the room suddenly went dark.
It was pitch black, so dark that you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
