He quickly took a step forward, cupped his hands, and said, “Boss, we don’t have any bad intentions. I’m the Captain of the Third Military Region, Xing Yusen. This mission is to escort Dr. Zheng back to the Third Military Region base, but we have already lost half of our brothers the moment we received
Dr. Zheng,” Speaking up to this point, the eyes of this stalwart man could not help but turn red.
He composed himself and continued, “Dr. Zheng is a scientist who’s very important to humanity. I hope you can stay and help us.”
$u Shanshan retracted the ice blade in her hand and looked at Xing Yusen. She could tell that he was a very responsible soldier, but she quickly realized that there was something wrong with his words. She said, “This is your responsibility, not mine.”
Xing Yusen looked a little ashamed. He was indeed guilty of using morals to hold her captive just now.
With Xing Yusen by her side, the woman who had been frightened by the ice blade earlier regained her confidence. She shouted, “How can you be so selfish? You’re so capable that you should be protecting us. If people were all like you, mankind would have become extinct a long time ago.”
$u Shanshan could not be bothered with her. She took a stride and continued walking forward. Behind her the woman continued to shout. The people who were protected by the soldiers also began to shout. Fear had gripped their hearts and they could only vent on fellow humans.
After taking two steps, Su Shanshan suddenly stopped. The moment she turned around, the noisy crowd immediately fell silent because there was an ice spike floating above their heads. The chill above their heads caused many people to slump to the ground. No one dared to speak again.
Their ways of bullying the weak and fearing the strong made Su Shanshan laugh derisively. She had seen many such people in the apocalypse. They thought that she would not dare to do anything to them just because they had the protection of the army. Once she really made a move, these people would
back off faster than anyone else.
She looked at Xing Yusen and asked, “Do you know where the exit of City M is?”
The entire City M had been buried, leaving only ruins. There was no sign of Gu Jincheng. She had stopped because she could not determine the direction.
Xing Yusen asked quickly, “Where are you going? We’re going out of City M to the Southwestern base.”
Southwestern base? Su Shanshan paused. She wanted to go to the Southwestern base to look for Gu Jincheng too.
Xing Yusen saw through her intention and said happily, “City M suddenly collapsed a year ago for some reason. Our military vehicle has the latest GPS system that allows us to differentiate directions. If it’s along the way, why don’t we go together? After all, many roads have been destroyed since the
apocalypse. It’s very difficult to find a place on your own.”
Su Shanshan was surprised by his words. She stepped forward and asked, “Do you mean it has been a year since the apocalypse began?”
Xing Yusen nodded in confusion.
“Who is the leader of the Southwestern base?” she asked again.
Without thinking, Xing Yusen said, “It’s Mr. Gu. He’s the only level-five superpower possessor.” His eyes were full of admiration. He looked at Su Shanshan and coughed, “You’re also a level-five superpower possessor, right?”
Although he was curious as to why he had never heard of her name, he was still respectful.
Su Shanshan’s expression suddenly relaxed. She had been underground all this while and did not have any concept of time. She only remembered that a long time had passed, but she did not expect that a year had passed.
This time, she did not hesitate. She nodded and said, “T’ll go with you. The condition is that I can help you protect that Dr. Zheng, but the others—” Her gaze turned to the group of people behind the soldiers. When that group of people met her gaze, they all hid behind the soldiers. The soldiers stood rooted
to the ground.
They were also very annoyed with these people, but the duty of a soldier compelled them to protect them. This time, they were very happy that Su Shanshan would handle these people. As long as no lives were lost, not only would they not care, but they would clap and cheer for her.
These soldiers were all youths in their twenties. Their eyes were bright as they looked at Su Shanshan. During the apocalypse, people respected the strong. They also aspired to be strong.
Su Shanshan joined them on the road. In the military truck, Su Shanshan occupied a corner. She wiped the Tang sword in her hand with a cold expression. The murderous aura around her made everyone shudder.
