Chapter 479: Just Passing Through

Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave

The minibus was being driven along the country road in order to bypass the Jiangbei urban area directly. However, some local roads had disappeared completely, and thus, they had to create their own path.

At that moment, they saw some wooden and wire fences blocking the path ahead, but that kind of obstacle could not deter the minibus in the least. Just when Jiang Liushi was about to drive straight through the fences, Ran Xiyu suddenly said,

"There are people over there!

"

Jiang Liushi glanced at where Ran Xiyu pointed, and with his keen eyesight, he was able to discern several people hiding in a farmhouse not far away and looking at them through the window.

"There are still survivors here,

" Jiang Liushi said in surprise. He stopped his minibus and stared at the survivors who thought they were hidden. And then Jiang Liushi pressed the horn twice.

The survivors in the farmhouse were shocked and could not help but wonder how they had been spotted from such a distance with such wild vegetation in between.

"Could it be that they pressed the horn carelessly?

" A member asked.

But when his voice faded, another relatively strong survivor glanced at him.

"Are you retarded? Unless they don't value their lives, how could they act so carelessly? Did you forget that mutant zombies and beasts are all sensitive to sound!?

" The strong survivor looked at the minibus and frowned while wondering who might be inside.

During the period after the virus' outbreak, almost all the living people had hidden around. It was quite difficult for them to meet strangers.

'Where did they come from?' The two men were puzzled.

Jiang Liushi started losing his patience, so he pressed the horn again. If nobody planned to come out, he would rush out directly. After all, there was no other road. If they chose to drive through the fields, they lose their direction.

The horn's sound echoed harshly in this wilderness, and that made the strong survivor annoyed. 'Why did they press the horn again?'

"Did they press the horn casually this time?

" The survivor who was scolded earlier asked again with a little uncertainty.

"Let's go out. Otherwise, they will press the horn again. We should leave two people here so they won't know how many members we have,

" the stronger survivor said. And then he took a gun and walked out. The gun was a standard Type 95 gun, which they had found near the toll booth. At that time, a lot of guns and ammunition had been dropped near the toll booth. After the number of zombies got smaller, the survivors of these groups had gone to collect those weapons; otherwise, they could not stand firm here. The stronger survivors walked out of the door with the other two people carefully, however, just when they were ready to step out of the door, that horn sounded again.

"F*ck!

" What if mutant beasts rushed over?

"

"Who are you? This is our survival base!

" asked the stronger survivor.

"Can this fence be opened?

" Zhang Hai asked.

Seeing Zhang Hai grabbing the window with one hand while half of his body was hanging directly, the stronger survivor was shocked because he noticed that Zhang Hai was a paranormal.

"Answer me first. Who are you and where did you come from? Would you like to join our survival base? It won't be a problem, but I also need to ask our boss,

" the stronger survivor answered.

They had met such survivors before, or more accurately people who had fled, and were seeking to take refuge in their survival base. In other words, it was a quite common occurrence for some powerful team to seek refuge. Moreover, the stronger survivor believed that his boss would appreciate a group with a paranormal among them.

"You are lucky to have found us. Actually, our survival base is one of the best in the whole continent.

"

"What? Why would we join you for the road? Were you the ones who repaired it?

"

"Excuse me. What do you mean?

" The stronger survivor asked again because he didn't understand at all.

"F*ckers. Why should we join you for passing this road? Was it built by you-

"

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Liushi that was impatient.

"What?

" The stronger survivor didn't react at all.

"We need to go through this road. Your lousy fence blocks our way!

" Zhang Hai shouted.

Originally, it was a very simple matter, but the strong survivor asked them to join and even boasted about their survival base.

"Brother Li, they seem to say that they want to pass from here…

" a member whispered in the stronger survivor's ear.

"I heard it,

" The stronger survivor said and glared at that poor guy again.

"Oh, but if you move forward, you will enter our survival base. There are many people and children inside, so we can't let you in casually. In case something happens, we don't know how to deal with it. Moreover, we don't block the way deliberately…

" The stronger survivor also maintained a safe distance and talked with Zhang Hai.

"It's really troublesome!

" Zhang Hai was speechless. He had a bad temper, but he was stopped by Jiang Liushi.

"Zhang Hai,

" Jiang Liushi called Zhang Hai back and then opened the door.

Seeing a young man in his twenties walking down from the minibus, the stronger survivor relaxed a little. In his mind, Zhang Hai was a man, who was quite difficult to deal with. However, Jiang Liushi looked gentle.

"That person who just sneaked out from the back door went to inform your boss, right?

" Jiang Liushi asked.

Hearing his question, the stronger survivor was totally shocked because he just secretly made a gesture to that member to call their boss. But why could the young man know about that? He suddenly realized that what his judgment was wrong; obviously, the young man before him was even more difficult to deal with.

"Soon. Very soon.

" The stronger survivor had completely abandoned the idea of fighting because he could feel that the young man observed his every movement. Even his hand holding the gun felt uncomfortable, but he could not lower it as it was his only means of protection.

"Then we will wait,

" Jiang Liushi said. They could still afford to wait as it didn't really matter if they arrived at Jiangning a little later.

A few people were taking action in secret, but they didn't know that all their movements were within the scope of Ran Xiyu's spiritual vision. Moreover, she had even extended the range of her power further ahead, and thus, she had already detected their base. At the same time, she shared her vision with Jiang Liushi so almost nothing could be hidden from their eyes. The survival base was just one kilometer away, with a dense population, just like a small village.

Soon, several motorcycles and a modified pickup truck were driven over. A thick steel cage was added to the compartment. The front of the car was also covered with iron and iron cages. It looked very boorish. Several people were standing in the steel cage, and two people were sitting on each motorcycle. When they roared, they came to the fence.

"What happened?

"The pickup truck's door was opened, and a man in a leather coat walked down and frowned when he saw Jiang Liushi's minibus. He received the news that trouble had found them, but he just saw an ordinary minibus and a young man that just standing beside the minibus calmly!

"Brother Lin Wei, they said they'd like to pass through our base,

" the stronger survivor said urgently.

Jiang Liushi was looking at Lin Wei, who was a paranormal with a relatively strong ability. Jiang Liushi didn't know whether he was the boss of the base, but it didn't matter at all. He just wanted to find someone, who could make a decision.

Lin Wei glanced at Jiang Liushi, and then he looked at the minibus again. 'Several strong energy fluctuations!' Originally, Lin Wei had decided to refuse, but at that moment, he changed his decision. Although he had brought dozens of members, it was impossible for them to fight against Shi Ying Squad.

"Since you'd like to pass through here, you should give us some compensation,

" Lin Wei said hesitantly.

"What do you want?

" Jiang Liushi asked lightly. If Lin Wei demanded an exorbitant price, Jiang Liushi would simply choose to fight them.

Lin Wei was under the impression that they couldn't have many things in the minibus; after all, there were still so many people in it. However, they must have enough essential food. A lion has a big mouth. He was too lazy to talk nonsense with those people, and he was too arrogant.

"10 kg of rice,

" Lin Wei answered.

"Rice?

" Jiang Liushi asked in surprise.

"What? Do you feel it's too much? At least, 7.5 kg,

" Lin Wei said angrily.

Jiang Liushi found the boss both funny and annoying. He even bargained on his own!

Actually, Jiang Liushi had still some rice stored. Moreover, the rice was of no use to his team, so he didn't mind this deal at all. He nodded immediately and said,

"Open up the fence. We'll give it to you when we pass.

"

"Okay. Old Li, take several members to disassemble part of the protective belt first,

" Lin Wei ordered.

Hearing Lin Wei's words, Jiang Liushi's footsteps paused again. That was nothing more than a broken fence, but Lin Wei had actually called it a protective...

They needed to open that fence manually, and then they needed to reassemble it, that's another reason Jiang Liushi agreed to give them some rice. Otherwise, Jiang Liushi wouldn't agree.

When Lin Wei ordered, Old Li and others immediately opened the fence with ease. After waiting for seven or eight minutes, Jiang Liushi's minibus finally passed.

Seeing the minibus up close, Lin Wei felt it was kind of special. It was quite different from other minibusses in his mind. At the same time, Lin Wei couldn't see the inner space of the minibus.

"Follow my car,

" Lin Wei shouted. He had sensed strong energy fluctuations, so he had to be very careful.

Soon, Jiang Liushi and his team members saw a small village in front of them. In fact, there were only a few small two-story houses. The rest were straw sheds. There was also a concrete brick wall, hardened with cement, outside the village, and a recently built tower. Several muzzles were aiming at the outside ground. The village was built after doomsday, so all the roads were occupied by them. They still had to go around a farmland to pass. The people in the village had seen Lin Wei suddenly taking several people with him. But now, they saw a minibus following Lin Wei's car back.

For a time, many survivors stopped what they were doing and looked over. Jiang Liushi noticed that those survivors were indeed poor. Even their clothes were in tatters. They were working hard, and some people were supervising them. Those people were bloated with pride. However, Jiang Liushi was glad to but powerless to render assistance. At least, those survivors could be protected in a relatively safe environment.

"This is our base. Go around, then I will lead you out,

" Lin Wei stopped and said.

Jiang Liushi opened the window and took a bag of rice out.

"Since you are credible, then this bag of rice is yours.

"

"Okay.

" Lin Wei waved, and someone immediately picked up the bag of rice. Just as Jiang Liushi was about to close the window, he suddenly heard a hesitant shout,

"Jiang Liushi? Really? Jiang Liushi!

"

Jiang Liushi followed the sound, and then he saw an unkempt person rushing toward him excitedly. The person's face was dark, and his hair was too long, so Jiang Liushi didn't recognize him at all.

'Who is this person?'

"It's me, it's me!

" The man shouted and quickly pulled his hair away, and wiped his face hard.

"Jiang Liushi, look at me carefully!

"
