While driving, Jiang Yan was familiar with the route and had the map on his phone, so he naturally became the driver.
The roadside was filled with dilapidated buildings and dried, dark red bloodstains that were everywhere, some of which had turned black from the long time they had been there, making them particularly conspicuous on the road.
On their way there, they encountered a long line of people registering to enter at a pre-built base.
With money and wealth rendered worthless, everyone is equal, and conflicts obviously decrease significantly.
"Ruan Ruan, do you remember the group of people we met when we came here? We even brought back that guy named Li Long. Where did they go?"
Anxia was actually most worried about Huayi. He had only been inside the house a short time yesterday when he hurriedly dragged Li Long out, and there had been no news of him since.
"Don't worry about him, they're both fine. There's just been some changes in Xizhou City related to Li Long, so Hua Yi went with him. He's very capable, so don't worry about him."
He'll definitely be waiting for us at home when we get back.
Jiang Ruan knew that An Xia had fallen for Hua Yi and was currently in a sensitive period, so she didn't joke with her and told her directly.
Remembering what Hua Yi said before leaving yesterday, "Boss, things are getting restless in Xizhou. I have to go check it out. If you can't get away, I'll go. It seems like the people there have some issues with Li Long. I'll take him there and settle things cleanly."
"Go, but don't alert anyone else. If necessary, you can act first and report later." Jiang Ruan's voice was cold as she carefully considered the turmoil in Xizhou.
Their country, China, was divided into four continents: the Eastern Continent was the most powerful, followed by the Western Continent, then the Southern Continent, and finally the Northern Continent. In terms of military preparedness, the Eastern Continent was undoubtedly the best, and its financial resources far surpassed those of the other three continents.
In the post-apocalyptic world, wealth has become a meaningless label, utterly useless. Aside from cold, hard gold nuggets and some tangible jewelry and jade, paper-like banknotes are like waste paper, scattered on the streets, ignored by all.
Therefore, the Eastern Continent, which prioritizes wealth, fell behind after the apocalypse and was crushed by the Western Continent in terms of strength. In particular, the Western Continent has many talented people and many awakened individuals after the apocalypse. On the contrary, the Eastern Continent became the least promising region.
The government is willing to help, but ultimately it is powerless to do so. It can only hope that more people with supernatural abilities will join in to alleviate this predicament.
Therefore, Jiang Yan's phone call hit the nail on the head for the country.
The Western Continent had always been overshadowed by the Eastern Continent, but now it seemed as if they had suddenly stood up, and everyone was extremely proud of themselves. Some of them were even speaking rudely and fighting.
Li Long, a former citizen of the Western Continent who had lived in the Eastern Continent for many years, had attracted a lot of hatred and naturally became the target of everyone's hatred.
While he was gone, his family remained, and being targeted and oppressed became commonplace.
Hua Yi went there to help Li Long solve his problem. It is said that the officials of Xizhou planned to use a sacrificial ritual to appease the zombies' anger, and Li Long's parents were the first choice.
Therefore, the two had no choice but to go.
Hua Yi packed up quickly and set off with Li Long. He actually had another purpose, but he didn't tell anyone because he wasn't sure if the ring was still there. If it was, it might have the power to bring the dead back to life, which would be of great benefit to the entire team.
Hearing Jiang Ruan's words, An Xia relaxed a little. She knew Hua Yi's abilities and that he was a shrewd person who wouldn't do anything to harm himself.
But he left without telling me anything, without even saying goodbye.
This made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Hey boss, I've noticed a strange aura about you. I can't quite put my finger on it, it's just really weird, vague and hard to see clearly."
Zhang Yang, sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head and spoke to the back.
Jiang Ruan raised an eyebrow, and when she saw him staring at her, she pointed at him and said, "You mean me? How did you learn to call me 'boss' from Hua Yi?"
Zhang Yang was a little embarrassed and touched his forehead, saying, "This way it sounds more approachable. Besides, when we get there, no one will dare to underestimate you. You're the leader of all of us, that's how powerful you are."
Jiang Ruan smiled. "Alright, alright, whatever you say. Tell me, what exactly is that strange aura on me? Could it be...?"
She remembered the good luck charm her parents had given her before they left, and showed it to Zhang Yang.
"You're not talking about this, are you? It's just an ordinary amulet, nothing special."
After listening to Jiang Ruan's words, Zhang Yang looked at it from left to right. The aura was indeed coming from this thing, but he couldn't figure out what it was. He just felt that the aura it was emitting had a vague turbidity, which made him feel that there was something wrong with this thing.
But he wasn't sure, so he didn't say it.
He planned to go back and take another look at the books his grandfather had left him; he remembered that one section of them seemed to have some information about them.
Zhang Yang handed the items over again, saying, "It's nothing, there shouldn't be any problem. Take them, we've arrived."
As they spoke, the group had already driven to the entrance of the giant cabin.
The area was surrounded by electric fences and high walls, and two men in tight-fitting clothes with guns and serious expressions stood inside the gate.
Jiang Yan got out of the car and explained the situation to them. They asked him to show his chat history or call records to prove his identity.
Jiang Yan frowned, took out his old work ID from his pocket, the security guard looked at it, picked up his walkie-talkie and said a few words, and the door opened.
"Phew, I almost thought we wouldn't be able to get in. Captain Jiang is really something."
Qingfeng glanced at the magnificent building, which was indeed spectacular. Although it was slightly inferior to their headquarters, it was still quite impressive.
Led by the guards, the group entered a reception room where several elderly people were already seated, but the person in the lead looked slightly younger.
"You are the superpowered individuals who contacted us yesterday to join our country. I'm curious, what kind of superpowers do you have?"
The man in the lead had a very magnetic voice. He rested his chin on his hand and looked at Jiang Ruan and the others with an arrogant attitude.
Before Jiang Ruan could even speak, Jiang Yan's demeanor had already begun to change.
He was trembling all over, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. Anyone with eyes could see that he was extremely angry.
Jiang Ruan was puzzled. Jiang Yan used divine power and with a "boom," shattered the vase next to the man sitting on the seat, and at the same time, cracks appeared in the chair he was sitting on.
"What are you doing? What are you doing?"
"They've rebelled!"
The elder next to him blew on his beard, glared, and began to get angry.
Jiang Yan sneered, "Trying to intimidate us? Ha, I'd better strike first."
Then, pointing at the man on the stage, she retorted, "Duan Yu, you've really made something of yourself. Is this how I taught you before?"
