Chapter 70 Spoiled Girlfriend VS Obsessive Apocalyptic Boss 16
Unlike most abandoned cities in the post-apocalyptic world, City C remains bustling and vibrant, much like it was before the apocalypse.
Its outer perimeter is fortified with very tall walls, and it is also home to many powerful superhumans, making it a rare refuge where a large number of survivors live.
Joint base hospital.
The Jiang family's power should not be underestimated.
Even in City C, he has a lot of connections, as can be seen from the luxury of this hospital room.
Jiang Zhiyi was rushed to City C that day, where the hospital had the latest injection drugs that could eliminate the zombie virus.
Fortunately, her wound was not very deep; it was only on her arm and had not spread to vital areas such as her heart and lungs.
Jiang Zhiyi's condition has now stabilized, and she only needs to rest in the hospital for a while longer before she can recover.
Outside the ward.
Thank you.
This time, Huo Linchuan was genuinely grateful to Jiang Yue. Without him, Jiang Zhiyi would have suffered unimaginable torment.
Huo Linchuan only hated himself for being a useless person who hadn't protected her.
After she was injured, I was unable to provide her with the best medical care.
"You're welcome. I don't want to see her get hurt either."
Jiang Yue's tone was indifferent, unlike usual; he seemed rather somber today.
He handed Huo Linchuan a gold-embossed business card.
"This is the contact information for Yuan Rong, the leader of the largest private base in City C."
"There is actually no military district guarding this area. The C District base controls most of the resources under the guise of a military district, and ordinary people can only rely on them for survival. Even a top-tier superhuman like you will only become a tool for them to exploit and extract resources. So, don't get involved with them."
“Yuan Rong is a person who cherishes talent, and she is also very capable. Going to her side is the best choice for you.”
Huo Linchuan accepted the business card; he really needed this resource right now.
Since arriving in City C, most of their supplies have been confiscated by this group of people impersonating military personnel. Many members of the team also chose to stay and not go to City A.
He needs to recuperate in City C for a period of time, prepare sufficient supplies, and increase the number of superhumans in his team.
Otherwise, given the current conditions, he would have no chance of safely reaching City A.
“Jiang Feng and I need to head to City A first. There have been a lot of unexpected events there these past few days. My father summoned us urgently, and we can’t afford to delay.”
"Huo Linchuan, protect her well. I'll be waiting for you in City A."
"Okay, have a safe trip."
"Take care of yourself."
Jiang Yue strode away without going back in to look at Jiang Zhiyi again.
...
"How are you? Would you like some water?"
Huo Linchuan picked her up and stroked her smooth hair.
Jiang Zhiyi shook her head. She had lost a lot of weight and didn't look very well.
Huo Linchuan noticed that her lips were so dry that they were slightly chapped, so he used a cotton swab dipped in water to gently moisten them.
"Does the wound still hurt?" Huo Linchuan asked her.
"It's a little itchy," she answered softly.
Huo Linchuan thought that it should be almost healed, as the scab on the wound had begun to fall off slowly, which was why it was a little itchy.
"Don't scratch it, or it might leave a scar," Huo Linchuan reminded her.
Jiang Zhiyi blinked, tears streaming down her face.
She had been sickly these past few days, and unlike her usual fierce demeanor, she appeared exceptionally frail at this moment.
"Don't cry." Huo Linchuan frowned as he looked at her, then leaned down to kiss away her tears.
Huo Linchuan took out a whole box full of cute ceramic figurines from the side, with all sorts of expressions and poses.
"Jiang Yue gave these to you. He said he didn't know which one you liked, so he bought them all for you."
Jiang Zhiyi's attention was immediately drawn to it.
"He and Jiang Feng have already set off for City A. We'll meet up with them when we go there later."
“Are we going to be staying here for a long time?” she asked.
"Yes, we'll need to stay a little longer. Don't worry, it won't be too long," Huo Linchuan replied.
"What about Sister Wen and Xiaoyue?" Jiang Zhiyi realized that she hadn't seen them for a long time.
"I sent a few men to protect them along the way, and they should be almost at their destination now."
Jiang Zhiyi nodded, though she was still a little reluctant to part ways, as they had gotten along very well during this time.
However, let alone in this apocalyptic world, even in the peaceful times of the past, people's journeys were always in segments, and they would separate at that point in time.
"Don't overthink it, they'll be fine there. Separation is inevitable."
"Are we the same?" Jiang Zhiyi asked him.
“We won’t,” Huo Linchuan replied without hesitation.
Jiang Zhiyi looked at him without saying a word.
"Zhizhi, sleep a little longer." Huo Linchuan kissed her hair and coaxed her to sleep.
After Jiang Zhiyi fell asleep, Huo Linchuan arranged for several people to guard outside the ward, and then he went out to find Yuan Rong.
Dissatisfied with the strong control of District C, and in order to fight against District C, Yuan Rong directly named her large private base "Rongcheng".
This is an attempt to rival Class C, and it can be described as highly provocative.
After seeing Huo Linchuan, Yuan Rong understood his intentions and was very satisfied with his abilities. She immediately agreed to let him and his team join Rongcheng.
Chengdu has its own strict management system. However, unlike the strict hierarchy in District C, everyone is equal here. People with superpowers and ordinary people can receive the same treatment, regardless of gender.
Everyone has their own points, which are earned by completing different tasks.
In Chengdu, people can use their points to make various purchases, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
Even though Huo Linchuan has extremely strong abilities, he only has a portion of his initial points, so Yuan Rong arranged for their team to stay in some of the most ordinary houses.
Because he had to take care of Jiang Zhiyi in the hospital, Huo Linchuan didn't have much time to do missions, so the points he had were barely enough.
One month later.
Building No. 16, Rongcheng Residential Building.
At night, Huo Linchuan had just returned home when Jiang Zhiyi rushed into his arms as soon as he entered the door.
"Brother Linchuan".
“I don’t want to live here. It’s too crowded and chaotic. I want to live in a big villa with a garden. Why do they all have big villas to live in?”
"I've been captured by zombies and now I have to live in this garbage dump. I don't want this. I don't want to."
Jiang Zhiyi hugged him and started crying, tears streaming down her face.
"I'm so pathetic."
With her living standards plummeting, Jiang Zhiyi naturally couldn't bear such a stark contrast.
