Even Yang Shen was awestruck by the sight of the towering city walls in the distance.
Because the city wall was so wide that you couldn't see the end of it.
Moreover, a city wall fifty meters high is not something that can be built easily.
Keep in mind that even a six-story teaching building is only twenty meters high.
Fifty meters, that's at least the height of a fifteen-story teaching building.
Everyone in the convoy saw the towering city wall and was filled with excitement.
"Is this the Haishi Safe Zone? It's only been three years, yet they've built such a large safe zone..."
Does the state still exist?
Whether a nation still exists is a very heavy topic, so no one can answer it.
However, this did not dampen the excitement of everyone on both teams.
They had suffered a lot over the past three years and had long wanted to come to the safe zone in Haishi.
But the road was too dangerous, and they were afraid that they would die on the way before they even reached the city.
Finally, three years later, they arrived, led by Yang Shen!
Even the steel-willed Uncle Xu Zhengyi was excited at this moment.
"Behind those towering city walls, is there a bustling, safe, and peaceful metropolis?"
"It should be safe inside, right? At least there won't be any more infected people, and I don't have to worry about my life being in danger in the middle of the night."
"We've finally arrived at the safe zone!"
Many people felt an urge to burst into tears.
Although the people from Heyang County were brought here under duress by Yang Shen, once they arrived safely in the Haishi safety zone, they were filled with gratitude towards him.
If it weren't for Yang Shen's coercion, they would probably still be struggling to survive in Heyang County, with no hope for the future.
The convoy continued on its way.
Finally, after getting within a kilometer of the towering wall, people could barely make out the massive heavy machine guns mounted on the wall and the soldiers on them.
"As expected, there are troops here!"
The men in both convoys were very excited. Having lived in peacetime for so long, they had a kind of blind trust in the military.
Although the army did not come to their rescue before, the army's status in their hearts did not decrease much.
The high city walls were brightly lit, with a bright searchlight every hundred meters constantly changing direction to shine outside the city.
When the convoy got within 800 meters, it was spotted by soldiers on the city wall, and a searchlight immediately shone on it.
...
"Report! Something's up!"
On the city wall, a soldier immediately sounded the alarm and took out his walkie-talkie to shout: "Situation! A convoy is approaching ahead, at least ten vehicles, number of people unknown! Reporting again, a convoy is approaching outside the city, at least ten vehicles, number of people unknown, and unknown weaponry."
While reporting the situation, the soldier took out binoculars with night vision capabilities and looked at the convoy.
Suddenly his pupils contracted, and he reported again: "The convoy consists of eleven vehicles: one off-road vehicle, eight sleeper buses, one heavy truck, and one modified vehicle. It's not any familiar survivor convoy; it's completely unfamiliar. The heavy truck is carrying a huge corpse, which I estimate to be at least a level six brown bear carcass..."
"The nine vehicles ahead have only minor damage. For now, we estimate that this convoy is not to be underestimated in terms of weaponry. The number of firearms is unknown!"
...
When the convoy approached within 500 meters, Yang Shen's powerful eyesight allowed him to clearly see the shoulder insignia of the soldiers, illuminated by the lights on the city wall.
Suddenly, Yang Shen's eyes narrowed, because the soldiers' shoulder insignia were no longer five-pointed stars, but a medal of flame.
"The military in Haishi is likely already under the control of private forces! Or perhaps it was originally a privately formed army?"
Yang Shen narrowed his eyes slightly.
He vividly remembers that three years ago, his sister called to say that they, along with a group of retired professors from the university, had been taken away by the army.
Could the army that took my sister away be the same army with these flame-patterned shoulder patches?
"Pray my sister is alright!!"
Yang took a deep breath. He was no longer a hothouse flower. Three years of desperate struggle had made him think of all sorts of bad things that might happen.
He was no stranger to the pain of losing loved ones.
Even if the worst happens, he can handle it, but he doesn't know if the Haishi Safe Zone can handle it!
When the convoy was about 400 meters from the city wall, a loud shout suddenly came from the loudspeaker hanging on the wall: "The convoy below, stop immediately and do not come any closer."
"Stop the car," Yang Shen said to Wu Kui.
Wu Kui hurriedly stopped the car, and the convoy behind him also stopped.
"Please state your identities and where you come from?" the voice rang out again from the city wall.
Inside the off-road vehicle, Yang Shen hastily constructed a simple loudspeaker using the remaining nanomaterials.
This loudspeaker doesn't actually amplify the sound, but it can focus sound waves and transmit them in one direction, achieving the effect of shouting over long distances.
Yang Shen handed a makeshift megaphone to Wu Kui and said, "Tell them that we are a convoy of survivors from Heyang County, coming to the Haishi Safe Zone for refuge."
"Yes, Brother Yang."
Wu Kui respectfully accepted the makeshift megaphone, got out of the off-road vehicle, and shouted loudly from the front of the vehicle, "We are a convoy of survivors from Heyang County. We are here to take refuge in the Haishi Safe Zone. Please let us into the Safe Zone. We would be extremely grateful."
The soldiers on the city wall seemed quite surprised upon hearing this: "It's just a convoy of ordinary survivors?"
Keep in mind that it's the middle of the night, the dead of night. This convoy is incredibly bold to operate at night!
