In this strange atmosphere, the convoy continued on its way.
Because of this catastrophe, the entire team's vigilance has risen to a new level. Su Mo released the captain, and the majestic Saker Falcon was always soaring above them, monitoring the movements within a radius of 100 miles for them.
Everyone was working as hard as they could on their journey, and Jiang Chuyi's life began to become leisurely, although he hadn't been very busy before.
She either nestled in the co-pilot's or He Sizhao's arms reading novels, or leaned out the window to watch the captain flying in the sky, and occasionally played with Xiaoxue and Donuts for a while.
Besides that, she has recently taken up a new sport.
"Bang."
A shot was fired, and the bullet grazed the zombie not far away without even scratching its skin.
Jiang Chuyi sat in He Shizhao's arms, without blinking, and fired another shot.
With a bang, the other zombie escaped unharmed.
She pursed her lips, her face flushed red, and her eyes were full of concentration.
Bang.
Wuyi leaned over the backs of their chairs, unable to bear watching any longer. "Xiaoyi, we shoot to kill zombies, not to give them scraping treatment."
Jiang Chuyi's brows darkened and his expression immediately became gloomy.
Wu Yizhi pulled the tiger's whiskers again, and immediately covered his mouth in horror and looked at He Sizhao.
He Sizhao held Jiang Chuyi's waist with one hand to prevent her from falling out of the car, and with the other hand he held up the novel that Jiang Chuyi had casually thrown aside and read it, as if he didn't notice the emergency situation, as if he was in a peaceful state.
Jiang Chuyi held the gun in silence.
She saw He Sizhao and his men shooting zombies without missing a single shot, and they looked quite handsome, so she thought this thing was easy to control and wanted to learn how to play with it.
Unexpectedly, she really had no talent for shooting. She missed everything she shot, not even the edge.
This was the first time she had encountered such a frustrating thing since she was born. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She frowned and was about to throw the gun out of the window.
Her waving hand, along with the gun, was wrapped in a slender and warm palm.
"Hitting a moving target is an advanced course. Xiaoyi is a beginner, so it's normal that you can't hit him." He Sizhao's breath gradually approached, wrapping Jiang Chuyi in his arms.
He held Jiang Chuyi's hand, his index finger lightly placed on hers, and he lightly pulled the trigger.
A zombie happened to pass by not far away, and its face almost flashed by in the high-speed moving car.
Bang!
A shot was fired.
Jiang Chuyi quickly stuck her head out and looked back. The passing zombie had indeed fallen to the ground. With her eyesight, she could clearly see that it was shot in the head.
"How accurate." She couldn't help but admire.
Without blinking, he set up his heavy sniper rifle on the window, and with a few loud bangs, all the zombies passing by were blown into broken limbs and ruins.
"I'm accurate too." He looked at Jiang Chuyi eagerly, hoping to get her praise.
However, Jiang Chuyi didn't even look at him.
He Sizhao was an ordinary person who relied on his own practice to achieve such accuracy. This guy's awakened talent is very precise. Why is he showing off to her?
Wuyi waited for a long time but Kua Kua didn't show up. He lowered his head and retreated dejectedly into the back seat.
He Sizhao showed a faint smile on his lips and rubbed Jiang Chuyi's head.
"If you're interested in shooting, I'll take you to the training ground after we return to the main base. It would be great to learn a self-defense skill."
"Let's talk about it later." Jiang Chuyi said vaguely.
She wanted to learn shooting just out of temporary interest. She couldn't bear to study hard every day like a student.
He Sizhao didn't force her. Seeing that she wasn't interested, he skipped the topic.
Time passed quickly as they sped off the national highway and passed the last toll booth.
"North of Chuanze City Toll Station." Jiang Chuyi recalled the sign on the toll station and turned to look at He Sizhao, "Are we there yet?"
"Kawaze City was our former capital," answered Su Mo, who was driving. "After the apocalypse, the distinctions between countries and cities have become unclear. Now we call this place the Survivor Base, accepting survivors from all over the world."
"We're home, Xiaoyi." He Sizhao touched her hair.
They had no knowledge of this world before Jiang Chuyi, so naturally they didn't know where this place was.
But Jiang Chuyi really knew this place, because this was where the male protagonist came out in the original plot, but he just had no idea about it.
The plot has now become so distorted that even the author himself cannot recognize it. Jiang Chuyi didn't care much about what happened here in the original plot.
She looked up at Kawase City, which looked particularly magnificent, and even the toll booth seemed different.
"Host, have you really thought this through?" The system's voice rang out in his head. "This is humanity's headquarters. Once you enter here, you'll be completely inside humanity's lair."
"It doesn't matter." Jiang Chuyi responded nonchalantly, "Even He Sizhao can't recognize who I am, how can I expect others to recognize me?"
Regarding this brutal host, the system has always only dared to give brief reminders, but has not dared to directly interfere with her decisions.
It thought that Jiang Chuyi had completely merged with the energy of the Zombie King and became an existence standing at the top of this plane. The people who could threaten her were probably not born yet, so why should it worry about it?
Thinking of this, it hid away and fished with peace of mind.
Actually, it's quite nice to have a host who's unwilling to do quests but powerful enough to never die. The system thought optimistically. There's something strangely refreshing about not having to work and not having to worry about your life.
Jiang Chuyi didn't know what the system was thinking. She glanced at He Sizhao, and her eyes were filled with thoughts that only she understood.
He Sizhao thought she was a little uneasy about entering a strange place, so he held her hand comfortingly: "It's okay, don't be afraid."
Shortly after entering the toll station, a majestic city wall suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.
The wall is thick and tall, extending across the entire city, with secret sentry posts and defensive facilities set up at intervals.
"As soon as we entered Chuanze City, we were already under the surveillance of the headquarters." Lu Qianzhi said, "The car we are driving now belongs to the headquarters. They should have recognized it. Otherwise, they would have received a warning at the toll booth just now and would not have been able to pass through here without revealing their identity."
Jiang Chuyi had seen all these in the original plot, but after experiencing it personally, he still felt a little unusual.
This was the first time she saw the wonders created by "ordinary people" and the power that belonged to them.
Unconsciously, because of He Shizhao and the others, she didn't realize that her overall attitude towards the human group had changed slightly.
At least when she first came to this world, she would definitely not be willing to hide her identity and live in a human community.
This thought flashed through Jiang Chuyi's mind, but she suppressed it immediately.
Forget it, why think so much? Just live comfortably now.
The convoy arrived at the foot of the magnificent city.
Jiang Chuyi discovered that the gate here was actually divided into three layers. The first layer was very small and seemed to only allow two people to pass through at most. The second layer was taller and larger. She gestured and it could probably allow a vehicle larger than their current car to pass through.
As for the largest layer, it is the main body of the gate.
It seems that they open different doors according to demand, while also controlling the entry and exit of people to the greatest extent possible.
"Ze A885, please stop immediately and identify yourself."
Before they could stop the car, a horn was honked.
The sound did not come directly from the top of the city wall. That would be too loud and might attract zombies. So they installed a small loudspeaker on the gate so that as long as they spoke from above, people below could hear it.
They stopped the car, and Su Mo and Lu Qianzhi first stretched out their hands from the car window to indicate that they had no hostility, and then opened the door and got out.
He Sizhao opened the door and Jiang Chuyi sat on his lap motionless.
"He Sizhao, I don't want to walk, carry me."
He Sizhao had no objection at all.
He hugged Jiang Chuyi around the waist and without even gathering any strength, he stood out of the car directly.
The sun was very strong when he came out at first, so Jiang Chuyi took out a coat of He Shizhao from the space and covered his head with it.
I saw a few people wearing special forces uniforms, and there seemed to be some commotion coming from the loudspeaker.
"It's the special forces!"
"Are Major General He and the others back?"
"Did Major General He really go out on a mission?"
"It's me, He Sizhao." He Sizhao came to the loudspeaker on the door. "Next to me is the survivor team of Major Su Mo and Captain Lu Qianzhi."
There was an uproar inside.
"It's Captain Lu indeed!"
He Sizhao's existence was too far away from them, but Lu Qianzhi had risen all the way from a commoner, and most people here knew him.
Lu Qianzhi scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "It's us, open the door quickly."
Jiang Chuyi felt several gazes falling on them. Perhaps the people above were watching them with that thing called a telescope.
However, they just looked around and showed no intention of opening the door.
Jiang Chuyi was a little annoyed by the sun: "Can't I go in yet?"
"Be good, Xiaoyi, wait a moment." He Sizhao comforted softly, "They should be verifying their identities."
"What's there to check?" Lu Qianzhi was also very confused. "When we were on short-term missions before, we went straight back in. Is there a new system now?"
"Captain Lu, let me warn you, things in the main base may not be as peaceful as you think right now," Su Mo said. "Be careful when you get back."
"What do you mean?" Lu Qianzhi said sharply.
Jiang Chuyi didn't pay attention to what they were talking about, but instead discovered another problem: "He Sizhao, your military rank is much higher than Lu Qianzhi, why do they know Lu Qianzhi but not you?"
"Xiaoyi, let me answer this question for you. Brother Zhao's identity is a secret even within the military. As a national treasure-level weapon, how can it be easily shown to others?" Facing Jiang Chuyi's question, Su Mo was obviously much gentler. "Let alone them, not many senior military officials can see him."
"That's right." Wuyi's tone was filled with pride. "Our boss is super-awesome!"
He Sizhao kept his eyebrows still and exuded a calm aura.
In fact, he secretly looked at Jiang Chuyi's reaction.
"That sounds impressive." Jiang Chuyi nodded listlessly. "Then, considering He Sizhao is so powerful, could you please let us in first?"
There was a hint of embarrassment in He Sizhao's eyes.
"What happened? What are you still verifying?" He said in a deep voice into the loudspeaker, "Who is the commander in charge of the city wall today? Have him come and talk to me directly."
Even though He Sizhao was still holding an unknown object in his hand, he still had a unique aura when he spoke these words with his upright posture, which was intimidating.
A few seconds later, a voice came from the loudspeaker: "I'm very sorry, Major General He, there is a new martial law order in place at the base. No one is allowed to open the door..."
"Who? Who did you say came back?"
Just when everyone's faces were slightly gloomy, an excited voice was heard, with a voice so excited that it broke.
"Tell me quickly, who did you just say was back?!"
"Ji...Major Ji, don't get excited..."
This man obviously scared the people above him, and they even stuttered when they spoke.
This familiar loud voice made Jiang Chuyi freeze immediately: "Who is this person? Do you know him?"
"I actually know him." Wuyi said.
"Ji Xia?" Su Mo raised his eyebrows. "It's us. What happened? Why can't we open the door?"
"Open the door right now!" A full-throated roar came from inside, shattering the weak voices nearby saying, "The higher-ups have indeed instructed that no one can open the door!" The roar shook the earth. "Bullshit! Do you know who he is? He's Major General He! You don't know Major General He? Are you Chinese?"
The man seemed to be about to cry: "But I really can't... Wait! Major Ji! I really can't open the door!"
Everyone was stunned to hear the sound of beating coming from the loudspeaker.
Soon, the door to the smallest floor was flung open, and a figure stood at the door, panting.
"Major General He..."
He was the one who had just beaten someone fiercely, but his steps this time were a little shaky.
He looked at He Sizhao like a drowning man looking at a driftwood, with a light full of hope and longing.
Jiang Chuyi poked his head out curiously.
And the moment she met the gaze of the person coming, that person stopped.
His pupils suddenly contracted, and he couldn't help but reach for his waist, where the gun was.
"She...she's not..."
His voice was caught in his throat, filled with disbelief and shock.
The author has something to say:
