nNothing happened along the way.

nLater that night, Lu Ming finally returned home and after freshening up, he lay on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep.

nHe had always slept well.

nCorrespondingly, he woke up early.

nDay 107 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Monday.

nHe woke up early in the morning and started farming his attributes, so Lu Ming’s life returned to its original trajectory.

nThe events of last night were just a small interlude for Lu Ming, hardly worth mentioning – just like the time he went to the Zhang family gathering place to collect supplies before leaving.

nBut for everyone else, everything that happened last night was like a boulder thrown into a lake, causing ripples throughout.

n“Sister Rose! I’m here!”

n“Lolita!”

nIt had only been a day since Duan Mei and Lolita were separated, but it was as if a lifetime had passed when they met again.

nThe woman and the girl hugged warmly, celebrating their narrow escape from death the day before.

nThere was no need to repeat what happened to Duan Mei.

nOn Lolita’s side, it was also a close call.

nThere were convoys, firearms, and a clear route.

nAlthough the fleeing team of Dragon Mountain encountered sporadic zombie attacks along the way, they were relatively small and did not have much of an impact—that afternoon, they arrived at an official safe house. Gao Junyi decided to rest and wait for rescue.

nEarly this morning, the rescue team led by Bai Tianyu and Duan Mei successfully arrived.

n“I plan to bring the survivors from Dragon Mountain to your side. I hope you can accept us.”

nDuan Mei said solemnly to Gao Junyi, causing Gao Junyi to beam.

n“We’re all Chinese, so there’s no need to talk about acceptance. In any case, we were one family before, and we are still one family now!”

nOn the other hand, Gao Junyi felt a little strange about Duan Mei’s change in attitude. However, when he heard Bai Tianyu quietly saying, “Brother Lu has made a move,” all his doubts were gone.

nAbsolute power brought absolute authority.

nUsing Lu Ming’s strength to deceive and cheat, such power of the officials was far superior to that of Dragon Mountain. The officials would not confront Dragon Mountain directly, but Dragon Mountain had to be tactful, right?

nThey set off for the official shelter.

nAlong the way, Gao Junyi did not discuss any serious matters with Duan Mei. They just chatted to build a closer relationship.

nAfter all, the questions that needed to be asked would have answers sooner or later. Can a cooked duck still fly away?

nDay 108 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Tuesday.

nFrom yesterday morning until now, Duan Mei had roughly investigated the official shelter.

nAlthough she could not claim to have a comprehensive understanding, Duan Mei felt that this place was indeed an official shelter, and it had not yet been corrupted.

nThis made Duan Mei make a decision.

nIn Huo Sheng’s office, looking at the somewhat uneasy Duan Mei and Lolita, Huo Sheng smiled and said, “Don’t be nervous; just treat it as a normal chat.”

nAs he spoke, he handed Duan Mei and Lolita two cans of Coke and continued, “I thought you would come to see me in two more days.”

nDuan Mei thought for a moment and said, “We can’t wait any longer.”

nHearing this, Huo Sheng’s smile faded slightly, “So, we’re in big trouble and it will come soon, right?”

nWithout Duan Mei having to say a word, Lolita on the side nodded her head vigorously.

nThis made Huo Sheng sigh softly and he said, “Then let’s talk.”

n“Before we talk about all this, I have to introduce Lorita first.

nShe’s the key to everything.”

nLolita, an American, turned nine years old this year.

nHer father was the general manager of a well-known international corporation in the Huaxia region. Due to work reasons, he had to stay in Nanxiang City all year round. Therefore, Lolita had followed her father and lived in Nanxiang for several years.

nHer father passed away the day after the apocalypse. Lolita hid for a few days before she met me.”

nSpeaking of this, Duan Mei and Lolita sighed.

nHuo Sheng also listened attentively, though it was apparent that this information was irrelevant; one had to wait for the emotions to settle.

nSoon, Duan Mei got to the point.

n“The key is not Lolita and her father, but Lolita’s mother.”

nLorita’s mother was also from America. She was a soldier and was stationed in a military district in New York City all year round.

nHuo Sheng instantly understood when he heard this.

n“A month before the apocalypse in Nanxiang, over in New York…”

nDuan Mei nodded, “That’s right.

nAccording to little Lolita, her mother became an Awakened long before the apocalypse, and she had awakened a unique superpower.

nHer superpower is called Bloodline Sensing.”

nBloodline sensing was not a very high-level superpower.

nIts effect was simply the ability to communicate and even transmit images to those connected by bloodline.

nHowever, the special thing about this superpower was that the range of bloodline sensing was extremely vast, and it ignored the obstruction of the Black Mist!

n“So Lolita knows so much because of this.”

n“It’s not that she knows that much herself, but because her mother knows a lot.”

nHuo Sheng could not help but look at Lolita.

nNew York, Nanxiang…

nThe disaster in New York occurred a month before it reached Nanxiang.

nOn the surface, the disasters in both places were probably very similar.

nThis meant that everything that happened in New York was a highly relevant reference for Nanxiang. The value of this information was undoubtedly significant.

n“It was precisely because of the guidance from Lolita’s mother that Lolita managed to survive on her own in the apocalypse for almost a week.

nIt was also because of this that I could successfully become a Level 4 Awakened and deal with Chang Yi’s troubles.

nAnd that’s why Chang Yi knows so much. Because he eavesdropped on Lolita’s thoughts.”

nAt this point, everything became clear.

nHuo Sheng rested his chin on his hands and looked at Lolita solemnly.

n“So, Lolita, are you willing to share what you and your mother know?”

nLolita just nodded, “I do.”

nThe apocalypse brought an end to the division of countries and races in the world.

nThis was a catastrophe for the entire world. Both Lolita and her mother were willing to share the information they had.

n“But my mother said she wanted your help.”

nHuo Sheng nodded slightly and did not ask in detail.

nIt was obvious that New York was facing a lot of trouble. Otherwise, Lolita’s mother would not have sent out a distress signal to Nanxiang, a month after the apocalypse began.

nDay 109 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Wednesday.

nLu Ming had just finished his morning exercise and was about to take a short break for lunch when he saw Huo Sheng visiting again in the dining room.

nAfter nodding, Lu Ming sat down, nibbling on the bird’s wing while listening to Huo Sheng speak.

nThey had known each other for a while, and coupled with Huo Sheng’s intelligence, they had developed a certain understanding between them. This understanding was that unless it was a major matter, Huo Sheng would not visit; and if he did, it would be during Liu Ming’s meal time.

nAfter all, Lu Ming’s time was precious.

nAs for Lu Ming, he had actually begun to like interacting with Huo Sheng.

nBecause he always brought important news.

nSo Lu Ming listened as Huo Sheng started to speak..
