This safe zone used to be a training base. Because of its excellent geographical location, after the outbreak of the apocalypse, the S city government and the army cordoned off this place and several surrounding areas as a shelter for survivors.

And after the government cleared all the zombies in this area, they began to broadcast the location of this safe zone throughout the city around the clock, so that as many survivors as possible would have the opportunity to know the existence of the safe zone.

In addition, they will send teams out every day to collect supplies, support survivors in the city, and help them reach safe areas.

When Ruan Ning was listening to Xue Chen's introduction to the situation in the safe zone, he suddenly remembered something. The rescue team that the original owner met in No. 1 Middle School in his previous life seemed to be sent by this safe zone located in the suburbs of City S.

If the plot hasn't changed, then the rescue team should be arriving at the No. 1 Middle School by now, right?

Ruan Ning's clear eyes darkened. She didn't know whether the woman who pushed the original owner into the pile of zombies and caused her innocent death in the previous life could be saved this time.

Without other people to act as a shield for her in times of crisis, would she be able to walk out of the school smoothly and reach the safe zone?

Although Ruan Ning didn't like to cause trouble, she had occupied this body for such a long time. If she really met that woman here, even if she didn't stand up for the original owner, she would have to help the original owner avenge her for the sake of her own conscience.

…

In front of the wall built outside the safe zone, there was an iron fence blocking the middle of the road, and a team of soldiers in uniform and holding weapons stood next to it.

Seeing someone driving towards this side, one of the men came over and stopped their car with a serious look on his face.

"Everyone in the car needs to get off for inspection now, and no outside vehicles are allowed to enter the safe zone." The man said in a deep voice standing by the car window, without paying much attention to who was in the car.

They have been guarding this place every day, and have seen countless survivors. Especially in the past two days, more and more survivors have come to the safe zone, and they have to make arrangements for hundreds of people every day.

But after Xue Chen saw the man's appearance, he called out, "Zhang Tian."

Hearing someone calling his name, the man looked at Xue Chen sitting in the passenger seat and the other people in the car in surprise, "Xue Chen? Your team is finally back from the mission!"

Zhang Tian did know Xue Chen. He and he joined the army in the same year, and they usually had a good relationship.

After the end of the world, Zhang Tian only knew that their team was sent to carry out a mission, but he didn't know the specific content of the mission.

I waited in the safe zone for many days but didn't see them come back. I thought something happened to them. I asked around but got no news.

Unexpectedly, after ten days, they actually came back.

"At least I'm back safely." He said with a smile, feeling relieved.

Xue Chen arrived at the safe zone and met people he knew. He felt good and smiled. "There are more zombies in the city, so it took a little longer to go back and forth."

Zhang Tian expressed his understanding. Everyone knew what the flow of people in the city was like before the apocalypse. As a result, the place is now in chaos. It is difficult to get in and even more difficult to get out. If you are not careful, you will encounter a group of zombies. Many people have died there.

"I didn't expect that the safe zone would change so much in just a few days. I almost couldn't recognize it," he said with emotion.

Before their team left, the safe zone was relatively simple. They didn't expect that when they came back, there were guards outside and so many more defense facilities.

"That's right. There are a lot more people in the safe zone now than when you were there." Zhang Tian briefly described the changes in the safe zone after they left.

Then he looked at Ruan Ning and the other two who got out of the car with the team and asked, "Who are these people..."

Because of Ruan Ning's special identity, Xue Chen did not reveal anything about her.

Zhang Tian was also from the army. Xue Chen's ambiguous attitude quickly made him understand that this person might be related to their mission this time, so he didn't try to find out any information that he shouldn't know.

Zhang Tian simply registered them and let them go.

However, for the sake of safety, all people coming in from outside must be inspected.

"Ms. Ruan, everyone entering the safe zone needs to be checked for any scratches from zombies." Xue Chen said gently, "After the inspection, we'll be waiting for you at the entrance to the safe zone."

Ruan Ning nodded in agreement, then went into a room with the person who led the way.

This room is a little bigger than an ordinary room, about 20 to 30 square meters.

In addition to the two female staff members, there were several people who came in from outside like Ruan Ning and her friends.

However, the inspection procedure in this safe zone was unexpectedly humane and simple. They only needed to take off their coats, and there were no obvious bloodstains or wounds on their bodies, so the inspection was completed quickly.

What Ruan Ning didn't know was that not everyone was checked into this small room.

More people coming in from outside were generally arranged together in the large house next door which was converted from a factory.

There was a mixed crowd of people and it was possible that someone who went there to check might become a zombie or die.

"My wound was accidentally cut by a knife, not a zombie."

Ruan Ning had just put on her coat when she heard a woman next to her speak anxiously.

"You are not a zombie, so why are you hiding? I won't eat you." The staff member put down the anesthetic needle and continued, "After you put on your clothes, someone will take you to another room to observe the situation. As long as there is nothing wrong after 24 hours, you can enter the safe zone."

Now, people in the safe zone have also discovered that not all people who are scratched by zombies will turn into zombies, so the injured people will be placed in a heavily guarded room for observation.

If nothing happens after a day, the person will be released. Of course, if there are signs of infection, the person will be shot.

There was no problem between Liu Rou and the child. After entering the safe zone together, they separated.

Ruan Ning did not try to keep them.

After all, she was not in charge of the team, and she could barely protect herself now. Although she liked the mother and daughter, it did not mean that she would be responsible for their future.

In this respect, she is still a very rational person.

******

The five members of the team did not return to their original residence, but were arranged to live in a small villa with Ruan Ning.

Ruan Ning knew without a doubt that this treatment was inseparable from the care of the Gu family.

The small villa was quite large, more than enough to accommodate the six of them.

Xue Chen took into consideration the differences between men and women and was afraid that Ruan Ning would not be able to get used to living there, so he let her live alone in a room on the second floor, while everyone else lived on the first floor.

Although Ruan Ning felt that it was the end of the world and there was no need to be so particular about not even living on the same floor, but since it had come to this, Ruan Ning didn't say anything.

Although the place where the few people lived was a villa, there were not many kinds of furniture inside. Most of them had been emptied. They must have been taken away by the safe zone as supplies at the beginning.

There were few things in the room, just a lonely bed in the middle, without even a decent mattress on it.

Ruan Ning's space did contain some daily necessities, and she also took in the expensive furniture in her apartment.

But she doesn't live alone in this place now. If these things suddenly appear, how will she explain to others where they come from if they are discovered?
