nJiang Liushi turned to look at Yang Ying and said with a sneer,

"If I'm not mistaken, you must have fed Officer Wan with lots of lies, right?

" While saying that, killing intent flashed through Jiang Liushi's eyes.

nYang Ying trembled, and he tried to retort,

"What do you want? I dare you to try and kill me here. Even if you know that General, so what? Do you think you can act arrogantly here?

"

n

"Ji Xiangming, throw them out of the safety zone!

" General Zhang ordered.

nJi Xiangming's expression slightly changed, but he had to obey General Zhang's order. Wan Lan was equally scared. Who would have thought that General Zhang had such deep ties with Jiang Liushi?

n

"Captain Jiang has contributed greatly to mankind after the virus outbreak. He is already eligible to join this area. Not only has he rescued important scientists, but he has also escorted them to safety!

" General explained angrily.

n

"You-

" Yang Ying was scared sh*tless. He wanted to run away as fast as possible, and even abandon Jiangning.

nHowever, just then, Yang Ying heard a roaring sound coming from the minibus' engine. His face turned ghastly white as he had already witnessed first-hand the minibus' terrifying performance. Was Jiang Liushi hell-bent on killing him here?

n

"General, I don't think we should drive them out. We need to gather more and more teams,

" Ji Xiangming said cautiously.

n

"You don't understand. Even if Yang Ying's team joined our ranks, it would be impossible to stop Jiang Liushi from killing him. Commander Chu is a good example. No matter who or where they are, as long as they are in Jiang Liushi's death list, only one fate will be waiting for them; death!

" General Zhang whispered in Ji Xiangmin's ear.

n

"…

"

n

"Get out of here!

" Jiang Liushi finally burst in anger.

nYang Ying was shocked by Jiang Liushi's outburst, but a strange glint flashed through his eyes. And then, he yelled,

"Old Fang!'

nSuddenly, his right hand, Fang Shengjin rushed toward Jiang Liushi. Fang Shengjin was extremely tall. His hands were just like two pliers, trying to grasp Jiang Liushi's head.

nFortunately, Jiang Liushi had already taken precautions against him. He jumped back and raised his pistol. And then he aimed at Fang Shengjin's legs and shot immediately.

nBlood surged out, and Fang Shengjin's heavy body slammed to the ground at once. Yang Ying rushed toward Wan Lan, who was closer to him. She hadn't realized the danger and just stood there motionlessly.

nHowever, Yang Ying suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, throwing her too in the process. When Wan Lan came to her senses, she was surprised by what had happened. Every inch of her body was in pain, and she was also dizzy.

nShortly after, Zhang Hai and Sun Kun ran where Fang Shengjin and Yan Ying were, and aimed at them with their guns.

n

"As you've witnessed, they attacked us first! Can we take them out and deal with them?

" Jiang Lisush asked Ji Xiangming. Naturally, the latter had no objection as Jiang Liushi had nothing wrong. It was self-defense.

n

"Let's go, little Jiang. We have lots of catching up to do,

" General Zhang said.

n

"Oh, Wan Lan, you should apologize to Captain Jiang first,

" General Zhang added.

nWan Lan's body was shaking, and she looked at Ji Xiangming. In fact, Ji Xiangming was quite clear of Wan Lan's thoughts, but he couldn't do anything to help her.

n

"I'm sorry, Captain Jiang,

" Wan Lan apologized at once.

n

"She isn't suitable for this job. Transfer her somewhere else and appoint someone more capable,

" General Zhang said to Ji Xiangming.

nHearing General Zhang's order, Wan Lan was scared to death.

n…

nAfter dealing with everything Jiang Liushi boarded on General Zhang's vehicle; an ordinary military SUV. They drove to the security zone's entrance, with the minibus and the off-road vehicle following them. The two professors, Li Yuxin, Ran Xiyu as well as the other girls were in the minibus.

n

"Oh, it turns out that this time you came to escort scientists again. Great!

" General Zhang exclaimed.

"Thank you very much.

"

nUndoubtedly, the two professors were as valuable as rare treasures. No matter where they were, they could play a very important role in reconstructing the world.

nGeneral Zhang was quite delighted. Fortunately, he had given the order to drive Yang Ying out, or else, Jiang Liushi would not allow the two professors to get out. He didn't want to jeopardize their safety.

nIt's not really an escorting mission.

" Jiang Liushi shook his head.

"In fact, I brought them with me fro, the Xiayuan Safety Area.

"

n

"Oh? Are you not planning to join any Safety Zone?

" General Zhang asked. After receiving a negative reply, he showed his disappointment.

n

"It's a pity. But little Jiang, joining Safety Zones will become a trend in the future. Maybe, we'll able to accomplish that faster than we thought,

" General Zhang said.

n

"Is Jiangning Safety Zone different from the other security zones?

" Jiang Liushi asked curiously.

nJiang Liushi had noticed and observed lots of construction sites along the road. Even green belts had all been turned into fields. Many survivors were planting vegetables, fertilizing and plowing the soil.

n

"Actually, it's not only our Jiangning Safety Zone. We have contacted all of the safety zones and instructed them to follow our example. We plan to expand the current safety zoned into bigger ones, which can accommodate more and more survivors. As humans, we have to fight for more living space,

" General Zhang said.

n

"Regions? How big is it?

" asked Jiang Liushi.

n

"A super city, even a province, and finally all of China's territory,

" General Zhang said excitedly.

nHearing General Zhang's answer, Jiang Liushi was totally shocked.

nJiang Liushi had heard such discussions back in Shenhai Island, and the Xianyuan Safety Zone was a good example as they had achieved part of the plan. Unfortunately, a crisis met them in the process. At the same time, it was not a fatal one, as it had not affected all the areas. It now seemed that all of the safety zones were constantly expanding.

n

"Finally, we can make a counterattack!

" General Zhang said.

n

"I came to the Jiangning Safety Zone just because I was under orders. We humans, can't take the beating passively. We must re-establish civilized cities and regions, restore schools, and let ordinary people enter a normal life order. The process may be difficult, but it is better than not trying. I am old. I don't know if I can witness that better future…

"

nJiang Liushi did not speak. But General Zhang laughed at himself.

"Haha, I know it's impossible. I'm trying to fool myself. The mutation of zombies, beasts, plants as well as humans is irreversible.

"

nJiang Liushi just listened and nodded. He believed what General Zhang had said. But at the same time, he thought carefully about the reality. He also knew that everything was still the tip of the iceberg. There were many terrible things that humans had yet to witness or find.

n

"Old Zhang, why should you follow orders?

" Jiang Liushi asked curiously. In his mind, no federal government could be found anymore.

nIf one had soldiers in their hands, they would have power. Otherwise, nothing was possible. Although Shenhai Island had fallen, General Zhang was still a respectable figure. Who could still order him?

n

"It is quite normal that you don't know about this matter. I just accepted the order because not all regions have received it. Actually, the First Region has been established.

"

nJiang Liushi was shocked once again.

n

"The First Region is near the Capital, named Huaxia Region.

"

nJiang Liushi had been traveling around the South area, so it was natural that he had not received the news. Before doomsday, it would take about six hours for someone to reach the capital by taking the high-speed train. However, after doomsday, it was incomparably far away.

n

"Jiangning's progress is relatively slow. In the major safety zones, the construction of the Shunan Safety Zone is the fastest. Dianyun and Xiayuan are not bad. Although Shenhai Island has fallen, there's still a chance to reclaim and rebuild it. After that, Shenhai Island may become a Region, which will include Jiangning, Xiayuan, and Star Base City.

"

nThere was no need to hide the information. General Zhang explained everything in detail as if he was introducing a magnificent blueprint. Jiang Liushi had also expected for something like that happen. However, he was curious about the Huaxia Region. But it was indeed quite far. Jiang Liushi would never take any risk just because of his curiosity.

n'I have to upgrade the MCV quickly!' Jiang Liushi thought.

n

"Oh, your special ability is related to mechanical modifications, right!? That's great,

" General Zhang said suddenly.

"We'll need many exceptional vehicles like your minibus. None of our current vehicles can be compared with yours. Several members of the Huaxia Region have come, so I advise you to meet them and introduce your ability.

"

nJiang Liushi frowned as that wasn't his special ability. Not to mention that it was impossible for him to help others upgrade their vehicles.

n

"We'll leave that for later. They've come to check our progress and learn about the overall situation. You should also be interested in the Huaxia Region's situation, right?

" General Zhang asked.
