Chapter 164
Shenhai was the largest city in the country, in which the permanent resident population had reached 25 million . It was speculated that if the 25 million people held hands together, they could circle Earth; one could imagine the city's terrible circumstances after doomsday .
It was regarded as a forbidden zone .
As a result, Jiang Liushi would never want to bring along his team to Shenhai's downtown . As they reached the outskirts, they could feel their scalps tingling by the scene before them; blood had dyed streets, walls, cars, etc . and human bones were scattered all over the ground .
"We have to bypass the downtown area! We will circle around the city's outskirts to arrive at Shenhai Island . " Shen Tao approached the minibus, with his military truck, and said .
The so-called Shenhai Island, located north of the downtown area, was a new area . It was under planning and construction, before doomsday, as they planned to build a city, like Satellite Town but bigger, integrating commercial, residential, education, and employment aspects .
As a result, after doomsday, the government had chosen it to be a safety island . Truth be told since the government learned about the approaching catastrophe, they had only a few days to prepare the safety island, so Shenhai Island was born with many defects .
As for the first district of Shenhai Island, originally it was simply a village town called Xiaxiang . It was set up just because the carrying capacity of Shenhai Island was limited . Thus, basic domestic installations were worse than Shenhai Island's .
Shen Tao gave Jiang Liushi all information he knew about Shenhai Island, and the latter analyzed it in his mind . At the same time, he knew that more than one Safety Island, all over the country, was under construction .
It made sense, after all, it was a great country . It would be an impossible task to gather all elites on the same island . In fact, those so-called elites, who could find shelter on the safety island, included politicians and some technical personnel . Other people allowed on the island were university professors, IT elite, engineers, and even skilled workers, carpenters, masons and farmers who knew soilless cultivation techniques and so on .
Fortunately, after doomsday, ordinary people were allowed to enter Shenhai Island . After all, manpower resource could play an important role in the construction .
[What's the occupation of Li Yuxin's parents? Uh...] Jiang Liushi was thinking, however, suddenly...
"Boom-" An explosion sounded .
Jiang Liushi looked up and saw a hundred meters away that a tall building had suddenly exploded and several bodies were dropping from the tall building like struggling ants . They struggled in vain and finally fell down the ground . Although they were far away from them, Jiang Liushi could hear their horrifying screams . They were doomed to die!
"Are they survivors?" Jiang Liushi felt confused but didn't intend to approach and put themselves in danger .
"Among them, only two are still humans, the rest are zombies . " At that moment, beside Jiang Liushi, Ran Xiyu suddenly exclaimed .
For ordinary people, one or two hundred meters away, was an impossible distance to distinguish a human from a zombie . Ran Xiyu was an exception, as her strong spiritual ability enhanced her vision .
"Can you see the situation in the building clearly?" Jiang Liushi asked .
Ran Xiyu shook her head negatively and said, "Sorry . If we drive closer, I will be able to see inside . Concrete walls weaken my spirit fluctuations . "
"It's okay . " Jiang Liushi shook his head . In that terrible environment, Jiang Liushi was willing to help but unable to do so . After all, his ability and energy were limited .
However, before Jiang Liushi stepped on the gas, Ran Xiyu said again, "Someone is coming . "
"Uh?" Jiang Liushi saw that not far away from them, a small group was running toward them quickly to find shelter . Although they all had guns, they were still poorly equipped . But there was a paranormal in that team...
Jiang Liushi noticed that the leader was a fat middle-aged man . He was semi-bald, but he deliberately placed the right side's hair to the center . It was indeed something rare and praiseworthy for a man taking care of his image in such a way in doomsday .
"His strength is limited . " Jiang Liushi thought he couldn't believe that this fat could have a special ability .
The fat man cautiously moved toward Jiang Liushi's team, blinking his little eyes . When he saw the military emblem on that military car, he was finally relieved and patted his clothes, walking smoothly .
Jiang Liushi's minibus was parked in the forefront, so he stopped in front of the windshield, with a look full of smiles and said, "You are affiliated with the military, right? I'm a local official in this area . I thought you must have come here to save us . Thank you . I always believed in the Central Government and always led the people carrying forward with strict discipline..."
The middle-aged man was extremely excited, but his words annoyed Jiang Liushi, as he disdained such people, bootlickers .
Jiang Zhuying laughed wildly, "Uncle . What did you say?" Jiang Zhuying was carelessly leaning on the minibus' windshield and said happily . In fact, she didn't care about the guy at all .
However, the middle-aged man was shocked because before doomsday nobody dared to speak to him in such an uncourteous way .
Who was the little girl? Before doomsday, he never treated soldiers with much respect...
"Who is your leader, and I'd like to see him . " The middle-aged man said angrily .
"What happened?" Jiang Liushi looked at the middle-aged man impatiently because the guy spoke in a bureaucratic tone at the beginning of their conversation .
Actually, in the middle-aged man's eyes, Jiang Liushi was just a driver or a new soldier, so he coughed again and said, "I am the leader of this area, and I'd like to see your leader . " He said word by word .
Jiang Liushi was totally annoyed by this guy and Jiang Zhuying was about to drive him away...
"What's wrong?" Shen Tao approached and asked .
The middle-aged man immediately looked at Shen Tao's broad shoulder and noticed that Shen Tao was a vice officer, so he immediately turned and said to him, "Comrade, the rescue work was really hard, I am the local official-"
Before the middle-aged man finished talking, Shen Tao interrupted him, "I'm sorry, you are wrong . We indeed have a rescue mission, but not to save you . If you don't have something important to add, please let us go immediately . " Shen Tao impatiently waved his hands, the military would only rescue scientists .
In order to save professor Zhang, plenty of Shen Tao's brothers in arms were sacrificed, so Shen Tao didn't want to create side issues at such a crucial moment . He thought this guy had bad intentions, so he wanted to leave at once .
The middle-aged man was stunned, he fixed his glasses and said coldly, "You should save us . Comrade, you should speak to me in a polite way... There are several leaders in that building . If you save us, we can help you promote rapidly . I think it's a good chance for you . I rarely stoop to such pettiness over past wrongs . "
