What should I bring when I go out to fight monsters?
Food and drink supplies, and unwavering courage.
Saying goodbye to her mother once again, Jiang Shuyin left the pickup truck at home, got into Xie Yin's car, and embarked on her journey away from home.
The Qingwu and the others remained dormant, their extent of growth unknown.
The journey to the Southern Base was not long. Anshi was the closest city to the Southern Base, and the Southern Base had planned the route for the mission personnel who came to provide support in advance.
There are four disaster areas, which are marked as high-risk areas A, B, C, and D on the wristband.
Area B is the closest to Anshi, and its main monsters are mutants and mutated shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
The most serious situation is in Zone D, which is closest to the coast. Every time the deep-sea monster surges, it will sweep the superhumans who are fighting into the giant waves or push them out of the battlefield.
Jiang Shuyin zoomed in on the D area on her bracelet and discovered that it had already fallen, with no more than 10,000 living superhumans and ordinary people.
An entire district.
Three hours later, we drove to a village on the outskirts of Zone D. The ground was still wet, and the tide had just receded.
Just as Jiang Shuyin was about to suggest splitting up, she met Xie Yin's unfathomable dark eyes and remembered his promise to fight side by side.
"Let's go to the left first."
Jiang Shu led the way, searching the entire village, but found no survivors. The ground was littered with drowned bodies—human, dog, cat…
These areas are highly susceptible to bacterial growth, leading to biological infections.
"Get in the car and drive forward."
Ahead lies the heart of Zone D. The wristband indicates no human activity, suggesting it is likely an uninhabited area.
This time she didn't plan to get out of the car: "We'll drive around for a bit, and if anyone asks us for help, we'll find a place to stop."
The Southern Base promises that for every person rescued, 10 honor points will be awarded.
Although it's unclear what the reward mechanism will be used for, it's very motivating because you know you're not working for free.
Xie Yin was driving on the main road when he suddenly saw someone waving at them from ahead.
It's a heavily modified vehicle, the kind that even a giant wave couldn't wash away.
The people who stopped them were also support personnel from out of town, but they were hired to come here and needed to take some biological specimens back with them.
Jiang Shuyin had no interest in chatting with them.
“You’re not allowed to go over there unless you help us with the work.”
Jiang Shuyin was no stranger to bloodshed, and her killing intent instantly coalesced.
The next second, Xie Yin floored the accelerator, sending the person blocking his way flying dozens of meters away, the surrounding scenery rushing past.
“If you don’t drive away, I might start a fight with them,” she said with a laugh.
Xie Yin looked ahead: "If you want to fight, we can go back and kill our way back."
He slowed down; there was too much trash washed up by the flood on the roads in this area, and every impact would wear down the vehicle's durability, so it wasn't worth it.
“No need.” Jiang Shuyin lowered her head to study the map: “We’ve already searched the D area. If we don’t find anyone, I plan to go back to the village we just arrived in and wait for the sea monster to appear.”
Xie Yin: "Go with your plan."
After searching everywhere without success, I drove back to the small village I had just arrived in. As soon as I got out of the car and found a place to stay, I heard the sound of a group of cars that I had been anticipating.
Someone's here.
Jiang Shuyin and Xie Yin exchanged a glance.
The latter remained calm, pursing her lips, sometimes really wanting to break the tranquility on Xie Yin's face.
"Is it convenient for the people inside to come out? We are the reaction team from the Southern Base." The man who spoke sounded quite old.
Jiang Shu led him out and saw a middle-aged military officer. Judging from his shoulder insignia, this man had an extraordinary resume.
The middle-aged officer asked solemnly, "Is there just the two of you? Where are you from? What are your abilities? Are you willing to obey our orders and assignments?"
When speaking to him, Jiang Shuyin couldn't help but become serious: "Hello, we are both from Anshi, we both have special abilities, and we are willing to obey orders."
The middle-aged officer glanced at her and Xie Yin, his gaze lingering on Xie Yin for a moment.
"Do you know how to use a gun?"
Jiang Shuyin replied, "I've never used them. I've only ever used cold weapons."
"It's a dangerous job to let someone who doesn't know how to shoot use a gun," the middle-aged officer asked Xie Yin.
Xie Yin had captured the brainwaves of a veteran named Xie Yin and learned about the assembly and use of firearms. He only needed to familiarize himself with it to master it.
So his answer was: "Yes."
The middle-aged officer gave him an automatic rifle and 300 rounds of ammunition: "You stay in the middle of the column. If there is any emergency, do not panic. Follow my instructions, understand?"
Jiang Shu nodded, while the middle-aged officer turned his face away with a hint of helplessness.
Then two people said that there wasn't enough room in the car, so they came over to share the space.
Who knows if she was worried about the two of them? Jiang Shu smiled and thought to herself: Luckily, she had settled the kids in a safe house in advance.
The convoy set off again, and the two soldiers who boarded were quite amusing.
These two were very talkative. They started by gossiping, which drew Jiang Shu's attention.
"Remember that woman we rescued before? She took a liking to our boss and begged to be his woman. In the end, our sister-in-law took her in as her goddaughter, and now she works as a medic at the base."
"Sigh, everyone admires my sister-in-law's magnanimity. But that woman has no ambition at all, and she's been flirting with the injured brother. I think she just can't live without a man."
Jiang Shuyin loved listening to these kinds of male-female topics, and even thought of a short story on the subject, titled "The Daily Life of a Sex-Obsessed Woman."
The topic suddenly shifted to her.
