"One ton?!" Wu Kui exclaimed in shock, "That's way too much!"
This is not the flesh and blood of an ordinary mutated creature, but the flesh and blood of the Beast King.
Although Wu Kui and the other people from Heyang County didn't know the concept of a Beast King, the brown bear that could slap Yang Shen away with one paw was definitely not low-level.
Yang Shen stared expressionlessly at the officer who was speaking.
This officer was also a superhuman. Judging from his aura, he was similar to Xu Zhengyi from Kaiyang County, a superhuman of around level three.
The officer felt a little guilty under Yang Shen's gaze, but he remained confident and said, "Don't look at me like that. It's the rule. Besides, didn't you get free housing before the apocalypse? We've provided you with such a huge safe zone. Aren't we working hard?"
After a pause, the officer continued, "Also, young man, I find you agreeable. Let me tell you something: the higher the taxes you pay, the better your accommodations will be."
"What if you don't have any supplies?" Wu Kui couldn't help but ask. In the apocalypse, there are many survivors who don't even have a bit of food.
“The safe zone is spacious, there are no infected people on the streets, and you can live anywhere.” The officer glanced at Wu Kui.
Wu Kui immediately looked at Yang Shen.
Yang Shen was too lazy to argue. Getting into the safe zone was the most important thing now. It was just mutated beast meat; if there wasn't enough, he could kill another one.
So he walked to the truck, took out his Tang straight sword, chopped off one of its hind legs, carried it back, and threw it in front of the officer.
This thigh must weigh at least a ton.
"If my sister is alright, consider this a token of my gratitude," Yang Shen thought to himself.
The officer's breathing quickened; he had actually been fooled. Moreover, judging from the aura emanating from that thigh, it was definitely a level six evolved beast.
This trip was incredibly profitable!
"Haha, young man, you really know how to handle things. Don't worry, we'll definitely arrange the best accommodations for you," the officer laughed.
"Hurry up and disinfect it," Yang Shen said expressionlessly.
"Don't worry, it'll be quick. We're always very efficient when it comes to people who know how to handle things!"
The officer smiled broadly and waved his hand, and a large number of disinfection personnel who were prepared in advance poured out of the city gate to disinfect Yang Shen and the others one by one.
The so-called disinfection was actually just spraying some disinfectant, and Yang Shen doubted whether it was effective.
Seemingly noticing Yang Shen's confusion, the officer smiled and said, "This is a newly developed disinfectant. The apocalypse virus is only infectious at the very beginning. Viruses carried by living people will not cause secondary infections. The purpose of our disinfection now is to minimize the introduction of other germs into the safe zone and prevent infectious diseases."
After a pause, the officer said again in a low voice, "I'm keeping things simple because I think the young man is good at handling things. Otherwise, the normal disinfection procedure would involve blood tests to check for carriers of infectious diseases. With so many of you, we probably wouldn't finish the checks by dawn, and we don't know when we'd be able to enter the safe zone."
Yang Shen nodded slightly, feeling somewhat relieved. The ton of brown bear meat hadn't been wasted; it had saved a lot of time.
However, this private military officer actually simplified the review process so much just for a ton of brown bear meat.
Yang Shen could already imagine that this so-called safe zone was probably not so safe after all.
He simply didn't trust these private armies.
Back at headquarters, Uncle Steel and the people from Kaiyang County, whether intentionally or unintentionally, did not explain that they were in a separate convoy. Instead, they got out of their vehicles and underwent disinfection and inspection along with the people from Heyang County.
Because there were nine cars in between, Yang Shen couldn't see what was happening behind him and was unaware of the situation. Even if he had known, he wouldn't have cared. He just wanted to get into the safe zone as quickly as possible.
In just half an hour, everyone had been disinfected and the headcount had been counted.
The officer said to Yang Shen, "You can go in now. By the way, my name is Yan Kuan. What's your name, young man?"
"Yang Shen".
Yang Shen gave a perfunctory reply and then told everyone to get on the bus.
"So it's Brother Yang Shen. I'll arrange a car to lead the way. You just need to follow the military vehicle. I guarantee you'll be satisfied with your accommodations!" Officer Yan Kuan said with a smile.
Yang Shen nodded slightly, and then got into the off-road vehicle.
Upon seeing this, Yan Kuan took out his walkie-talkie and said something. Shortly after, a military vehicle appeared inside the city gate ahead.
"You can follow now," Yan Kuan said to Yang Shen with a smile.
Yang Shen nodded, then said to Wu Kui, "Drive."
The long convoy started again, slowly driving towards the small city gate on the left and entering the gatehouse.
Once inside the gate, Yang Shen discovered that the city wall was actually five meters thick.
If such a city wall is not just the one you see, but surrounds the entire safe zone, it's hard to imagine how it was built and how much manpower and resources it consumed.
Soon, the convoy passed through the city gate and entered the safe zone.
As you can see, this side of the city wall is piled with a large number of barricades and a large number of military vehicles. Perhaps because it is the middle of the night, there are very few soldiers to be seen, and not a single other survivor.
Only then did Yang Shen notice that the ground on this side of the city wall was full of potholes, looking like bomb craters.
Thinking back carefully, the outside world seems to be about the same, but I just hadn't paid much attention to it before.
"Has a large-scale war ever occurred in the mirage? Was it a war between humans, or a war with other creatures?"
Yang Shen thought of the tall city wall and felt that it couldn't have been built just for aesthetic purposes.
However, he didn't have time to think about it, because the military vehicles ahead had already started to accelerate.
Led by military vehicles, the convoy drove confidently toward the city center.
