After listening to Sun Jianjun's explanation, Qin Yi suddenly understood.
"Speaking of which, the city lord and I also encountered a swarm of mutated rats back then. The rat king at that time was a level two mutated beast."
"We killed all of the several hundred mutated rats in total."
Sun Jianjun looked at Qin Yi with some surprise and scrutinized him carefully.
Only then did he notice Qin Yi's current state.
His clothes were clean and tidy, as if he had just washed and dried them yesterday.
There was no unpleasant odor on him, and he looked refreshed and energetic, not at all like someone who had lived in the apocalypse for half a month.
"Level 2 mutated beasts, hundreds of them? Are there only two of you?"
"It must have been more than a week ago when we went out to look for supplies and found a swarm of rats. We were worried that they would grow larger and threaten the survivors, so we dealt with them."
"That's a good idea! You're a true soldier under my command!"
Sun Jianjun smiled, then suddenly remembered that Qin Yi seemed to have come out of the city alone.
And since they weren't driving a vehicle, were they on foot?
Fifty kilometers? They must have set off before dawn, right?
Thinking it over, Sun Jianjun voiced his doubts to Qin Yi.
Did you come alone? On foot?
Although absorbing energy crystals will greatly improve one's physical condition, one is still still a mortal.
Having already reached the level three evolutionary strength, he should be able to maintain a constant speed of about 40 to 50 kilometers per hour at full speed.
However, to avoid zombies and to rest, it's impossible to maintain this for more than an hour.
"Yes, the city lord is leading everyone to clear out the zombies now. I heard that you are still alive, so I wanted to come and visit you."
"Oh, by the way, here, take this. These things are hard to find these days."
As he spoke, Qin Yi handed a box of specially supplied cigarettes to Sun Jianjun.
These were all exchanged by Qin Yi in the Dawn City warehouse.
Although Huang Zhao told him to just go to the warehouse and get whatever he wanted, Qin Yi still insisted on using the points he had earned to redeem it.
Huang Zhaoqiang simply had Ai Li multiply the points Qin Yi had earned.
Sun Jianjun casually put his things down and looked at Qin Yi with surprise.
"Your strength?"
"I just broke through to level four today."
Sun Jianjun suddenly realized why Qin Yi dared to come alone through the sea of corpses.
"Okay, okay!"
Looking at Qin Yi with surprise, Sun Jianjun did not doubt what he said.
The entire Shanghai Self-Help Committee does not yet have a single member who has broken through to level four.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yi, who faced even more difficult conditions in the city of Shanghai, broke through first.
"This time, you'll come with us to the granary to clear out the mutated rats!"
Sun Jianjun didn't stand on ceremony and made the request directly.
With such a strong ally, their confidence in eliminating the rat horde increased considerably.
"yes!"
Qin Yi didn't find anything wrong with it and agreed.
Sun Jianjun and Qin Yi got into a command vehicle together.
The Shanghai Self-Rescue Committee's convoy drove out of the camp and headed towards the grain warehouse where the rats were discovered.
After the convoy set off, Sun Jianjun began asking Qin Yi about news of Shuguang City.
At the previous meeting, he had been given the task of recruiting the survivors of Dawn City.
"How many survivors are there in your Dawn City now?"
Qin Yi pondered for a moment, hesitating whether he should tell the other party this information.
"Please wait a moment, sir."
As he spoke, Qin Yi fiddled with the terminal on his wrist for a while before replying:
"There are now more than 21,000 survivors in Dawn City."
Just as Sun Jianjun was about to light a cigarette, his hand trembled, and the cigarette fell onto the car.
"How many!?"
Qin Yi picked up the cigarette and handed it to Sun Jianjun, lit it for him, and then repeated the process.
"More than 21,000."
