Luoluo roared in excitement when Jiang Liushi said that it could eat the blue liquid in the second bottle. Then, it dashed at Li Yuxin, grabbing the bottle in her hands and opening it mid-air. It expanded like a balloon and devoured the bottle’s contents.

Luoluo was quite satisfied with its reward, so it rubbed its face in Jiang Liushi’s hands, and then it jumped back to the tour bus.

Xiang Xuehai was dumbstruck by what she saw. She had never expected that the blue liquid could serve as beast food.

Due to the plague, countless people in Northern Jiangsu were in danger. Therefore, as a leader, Xiang Xuehai had gone to Qionghai City for help, but that attempt had not born any fruits.

Jiang Liushi waved his hands and ordered. “Let’s set off!”

Their destination, this time, was the ruins of the Shenhai Island. According to Luo Jiafeng, the mysterious organization would need some time to start their operation. Thus, the Shi Ying Squad had a lot of time to prepare. As for the plague in Northen Jiangsu, Jiang Liushi also wanted to search for its cause thoroughly. It was not only for the sake of Xiang Xuehai but also for his curiosity. He wanted to explore the blue liquid’s origins.

In this damnable post-apocalyptic world, nothing was strange or impossible anymore. The blue liquid could lead to a national plaque or even a global disaster. With that scenario in mind, Jiang Liushi wanted to find the blue liquid’s weakness in advance and think about possible solutions.

For Jiang Liushi, who possessed a formidable MCV and was in charge of a mighty team, the current situation was not too bad. However, once things changed, nobody knew what could possibly happen. Naturally, Jiang Liushi did not want for a similar catastrophe to the virus outbreak to repeat itself.

Jiang Liushi also wondered, but was not concerned, about the changes the blue liquid would bring to Luoluo.

While Jiang Liushi was lost in his thoughts, Ying had launched the MCV again. They headed to Jinling, passing by Northen Jiangsu, in order to reach their destination, Shenhai Island. Along the whole way, the number of zombies was decreasing while the number of the infected people was increasing. Compared to the zombies, the infected had more powerful offensive power and vitality, but for Shi Ying Squad, they were nothing. No obstacles along the way could affect Shi Ying Squad. If any other teams were to traverse the path the Shi Ying Squad was taking, they would experience a hellish time.

When they were about to arrive at Jinling, they faced a minor yet serious problem. That is, Zhang Hai’s Type 99 tank was running out of fuel. Undoubtedly, the Type 99 tank could be regarded as a world-class one in the aspect of armor thickness, attack abilities, and other aspects. But at the same time, its fuel consumption was also first-class. It consumed four liters of fuel per kilometer! ‘Fuel Tiger’ was not enough to describe it.

Although Zhang Hai’s tank was filled with ammunition and fuel when they left Qionghai City, it could only be driven about 500 km on such a complicated road.

Jiang Liushi felt this problem was a bit of a headache. After all, it was not an easy matter for them to search for fuel in this juncture of the post-apocalyptic period.

Jiang Liushi’s tour bus indeed had a supercar fuel tank, but it was filled with gasoline, instead of diesel. Also, after acquiring the Black Hole’s Core, Jiang Liushi did not need to search for fuel for his new tour bus.

“We should go to Jinling first. We can check every gas station along the way,” said Jiang Liushi, but he did not hold much hope.

“Okay, Brother Jiang,” answered Zhang Hai.

Zhang Hai had long realized that compared to the tour bus, his tank was way inferior in all aspects. At the same time, the tour bus was not only powerful but also comfortable. Several girls were living inside, cooking and taking showers whenever they wanted. It could be regarded as the most wonderful experience in this terrible world.

“Brother, finally, we revisit Jinling,” said Jiang Zhuying suddenly.

Jinling City was the place where Jiang Zhuying attended university. It had been one of the most prosperous cities in the province before doomsday. But now, the epidemic and plague had ruined it. Even its main road had long been blocked by abandoned vehicles.

Fortunately, during this year, the ones still living had carved out a path to enter. Xiang Xuehai also knew about that path.

“We’re close. There is a survivors’ camp about 10 km ahead. Before I left Northen Jiangsu, I had sent a few members to inquire about the overall situation. Unexpectedly, Jinling’s situation is also dangerous,” said Xiang Xuehai. She was quite worried about her members and thought about them all the time. Were they still struggling? Or had they given up?

“Well, let’s go and see,” said Jiang Liushi. He wanted to know more about the plague, and if they could meet someone that Xiang Xuehai knew, they could ask them directly.

Xiang Xuehai nodded, and then she began to lead the way.

…

Ten kilometers away from them was a residential community. More than a dozen residential buildings and two villas constituted that common community. The former green belts had been completely uprooted, leaving empty places to grow food, while outside the community were a lot of cars and various furniture. The ‘City Wall’ was piled up by those things. The site was pretty hidden, but in order to completely cover up the traces of human existence, the site was hidden behind lots of abandoned things. After doomsday, many security zones and bases were established throughout the country, so the ordinary people gathered together under the protection of the military, relying on strong fortifications. But there were also a lot of people who lived in residential communities like that one, which could just be regarded as a camp.

A few people were crouching in a dark and depressing room. All the people inside looked very depressed. The zombies’ existence was also a serious threat, but now, they had also to deal with the infected people. In order to avoid all the dangers outside, all the people in that group had to stay inside.

All of a sudden, a little girl’s stomach growled. The little girl shook her head and said, “I’m not hungry. I’m not hungry.”

Everyone looked at her bleakly. Not only the little girl but actually, all of them had not eaten much during these days. Almost all the food was gone. After such a long time, they could only find a limited amount of food. Moreover, they had to hand half of the food collected to their boss.

“Xiao Nan.” Another girl walked to the little girl and gave her a folded-up package with a few instant noodles, to her. The little girl gently shook her head and answered, “Sister Lu, thank you. But I don’t need. You can eat…” But as she spoke, her eyes fell on the bag of instant noodles, and she swallowed. She was starving.

A middle-aged man in his fifties stood up. He was swarthy, thin, and haggard. He was the only one in this group who was a paranormal. Usually, it was him who had to go out and search for food. Originally, he had several companions, but they were now either dead or infected.

The difficulty of searching for food had also become more difficult. But seeing the hungry girls, the middle-aged man knew clearly that he had to go out and search for food.

“I’m going to visit Guohui Shopping Mall.” He said.

Upon hearing his words, all men were shocked. It was no doubt that Guohui Shopping Mall was the most dangerous place, where lots of zombies could be found. It was estimated that many infected people also lived there.

“That’s too dangerous,” said the older girl at once.

“Yeah, but only that place may still have food. If I can find food, we will insist on for one month, otherwise we…” The middle-aged man didn’t continue.

All of them knew they could just insist on at most for about a week by relying on the food they had. It would be okay for adults, but it was easier for little kids to starve to death.

“No… We agreed to live together, father!” The girl’s eyes immediately went red.

“Yes, uncle Hong. Let’s wait. We can’t let you…” Others said sadly.

All except the middle-aged men were women and children. As a result, they could do nothing.

“I’m old, and I’m not a paranormal, so I don’t have to eat anymore,” said a middle-aged woman. The rest could not help but cry loudly. It’s indeed hard for them to live.

“He Lu,” The middle-aged man lovingly touched the young girl’s head. He still remembered the baby girl he had just carried from the delivery room. But now, the cute baby girl had become a tall, beautiful girl.

If not for this terrible doomsday, his little daughter would have graduated from university successfully, finding a job she was willing to do. She could have met a man she fell in love with, get married and give birth to a baby.

“He Lu, you must be good. If I can’t come back, your mother and I would want you to be happy,” the man said as He Lu was crying sadly.
