Yang Shen saw the young man's predicament and sneered, "Afraid I won't pay? If I really have the information I want to know, I won't treat you unfairly."
"Alright, sir, please follow me."
The young man was overjoyed and hurriedly led Yang Shen into the inner area, heading towards the distance.
The other three young men were filled with envy; they were truly impressed that someone could attract customers so easily.
Yang Shen followed the young man in front of him deeper into the inner area, observing the situation there as he went.
Unlike the dark areas outside, this place is illuminated by streetlights.
The most amazing thing is that even in the dead of night, some shops are still open, selling all sorts of strange things, such as cigarettes, snacks, cured meat, and even the fur of mutated creatures.
It's basically a general store.
Yang Shen also saw a bar, which seemed quite lively.
"We've arrived, this is the place. Please wait a moment, sir."
At this moment, the young man who had led the way arrived at the door of a very small shop, took out his key, opened the door, and turned on the light inside: "Please come in, sir."
Yang Shen stepped inside and found it to be a tiny storefront of only three or four square meters, filled with many brochures, a computer desk, and a desktop computer.
These things alone almost filled the entire space inside.
The young man skillfully turned on the computer and respectfully said, "Sir, my name is Liang San, the 'San' in 'one, two, three.' What do you need to check?"
"Is there still internet?" Yang Shen asked.
"I don't know, but I can't connect to the internet. Before the apocalypse, I was a small-time hacker. I often cracked passwords and borrowed other people's networks, but I can't do that now."
Young Liang San said, "But it seems that those big shots in the safe zone can communicate using satellite phones."
Yang Shen thought for a moment and asked, "What happened to the old professor and students that the army took away from Haishi No. 5 Middle School three years ago?"
“Three years ago…” Liang San’s expression changed slightly: “That’s a long time…”
He forced a smile and said, "However, I do have some of these records here. Sir, please listen to them and see if there's anything you need?"
Yang Shen nodded slightly.
Liang San had already turned on his computer and used a software to search for keywords. He quickly found relevant information: "Three years ago, when the apocalypse had just begun, the army seemed to have foreseen the future and took away many senior teachers from universities and high schools. Among those taken away were some students who had awakened supernatural abilities."
Yang Shen's eyes flashed. Was his sister taken away because she had awakened a superpower?
That makes sense, otherwise, why would the younger sister, an ordinary person, be entitled to be escorted away?
Liang San continued, "Those who were taken away included not only senior teachers and people with superpowers, but also a large number of scientists. They were placed in air-raid shelters and were originally intended to be escorted to other places, but not long after, an infection wave occurred."
"As you know, sir, Haishi is a prefecture-level city with a large population. There are so many infected people that even an army with a large number of firearms cannot break through in a short time."
Yang Shen nodded slightly. Before the apocalypse, Haishi had a population of ten million. If, like Heyang County, more than nine-tenths of the human population here were infected, then there would be at least more than nine million infected people.
Nine million infected people is an unimaginable number. If it forms an infection wave, it could absolutely sweep away everything.
When the number of people reaches tens of thousands, it becomes a sea of people; with nine million infected individuals, it's practically boundless.
Of course, because the city is so large, it is impossible for the infection wave to gather all the infected people. The scenario of nine million infected people rioting at the same time is unlikely to happen, but it should not be underestimated.
Liang San continued, "Those people stayed in the air-raid shelter for half a year. I don't know much about the situation of the students with superpowers. I only know that the senior teachers and scientists were escorted away by an army after half a year, but they came back after half a month. I don't know what they encountered. The army suffered heavy losses, and many senior teachers and scientists were also killed or injured."
At this point, Liang San carefully observed Yang Shen's expression. After struggling in the apocalypse for three years, he was no longer the programmer who only knew how to program but didn't know how to deal with people. He had also learned to read people's expressions.
"There's no news about those students with superpowers?" Yang Shen's face was somewhat gloomy.
"Don't worry, sir, let me look for it."
Liang San hurriedly said that although it was almost winter, he started to sweat because the aura that Yang Shen unintentionally emitted when he was in a bad mood terrified him.
Suddenly, Liang San's eyes lit up: "Found them! Those superhuman students who were taken away, those who were suitable for combat were forcibly conscripted into the army, and those who were not suitable for combat were assigned to other areas. Among them, several superhuman students with brain mutations even became scientists and were given special protection."
"Oh, by the way, I have some big news here. Would you like some, sir? I risked my life to find out about this. It's about students with superpowers," Liang San said cautiously.
"Stop dawdling, I need to know everything about those students with superpowers," Yang Shen said, frowning.
“Alright, here’s the news: after those students with superpowers were conscripted into the army, one of them became a level four superpowered individual in just six months, killed his superior, took control of an army, and rebelled. That superpowered individual is now one of the three powerful figures in the Haishi Safe Zone, and is now a level seven superpowered individual,” Liang San said.
Yang Shen raised an eyebrow slightly. This was indeed big news, and a hint of anticipation rose in his heart: "Is that superhuman student male or female? What's his name?"
"The woman's name is Huang Xue. I heard that she rebelled because her boyfriend was assassinated by her boss. Nobody else knows this. I risked my life to find out. Please don't tell anyone I told you, sir."
