After spotting Shen Kui’s team, Ran Xiyu asked Ying to follow them from afar so that they wouldn’t discover them. Although they knew where Shen Kui’s team was headed, they didn’t know of their specific location. But it didn’t really matter, as sooner or later Jiang Liushi and his team would find them.

Although there were many zombies in the outer circle of Chukyo, they didn’t pose any threat to Jiang Liushi’s MCV. After driving about half an hour, Ran Xiyu spotted a few people.

“I found someone,” said Ran Xiyu the moment their spiritual lights appeared in her vision. “They have a dozen people, and only five of them are paranormals. They must be a survivors’ team,” she added.

“Since Shen Kui and the important figures have appeared here, there must be a base similar to the Sword Club. Maybe this group is from there. Let’s go and ask them,” said Jiang Liushi.

Soon, they arrived close to the survivors’ team. They were currently fighting against a huge mutant beast. They seemed powerful and cooperated with each other quite well. However, they were surrounded by many mutant zombies. It was a little hard for them to deal with all the mutant zombies.

Jiang Liushi could tell that sooner or later the survivors would win the battle as the most powerful girl in that team had yet to release her full power. She was just walking past the mutant zombies, looking for opportunities. Unfortunately, Jiang Liushi didn’t have the time and patience to watch the battle.

“Ying!” shouted Jiang Liushi, looking at her.

Ying understood Jiang Liushi’s intention immediately. Then, she stepped on the gas, and the tour bus suddenly issued a loud engine sound.

Currently, the big mutant beast was keenly sensitive to danger, so it abruptly turned and stared at Jiang Liushi’s tour bus with bloodshot eyes. All of its spikes stood erected, and it pressed its hind legs against the ground. Cement fragments were flung around as it pounced at the tour bus.

“Be careful! The spikes are harder than steel, and they can pierce-” screamed the strongest girl. She had discovered the tour bus but had not expected that the driver would be so rush to provoke the beast.

Truth be told, this team had lured the mutant beast to this area due to terrain advantages and to make it consume its energy. Even they didn’t dare to fight against it directly.

Jiang Liushi sneered, and then he said, “The poor beast took the initiative to attack us, eh? Ying, speed up!”

Ying nodded and accelerated. The tour bus was like a released arrow, which was way faster than the mutant beast. In the next instant, they collided, and the sound generated from the collision was enough to almost leave the survivors deaf.

Everyone felt scared when they heard that sound. But what truly shocked them was what followed next. As soon as the mutant beast collided with the tour bus, its skull burst open and blood gushed from its horrifying wound in every direction.

If that were not enough, the beast was sent flying, crossing more than ten meters before crashing on the ground. Before its body stopped rolling on the ground, it squashed many mutant zombies in its path.

The survivors were slack-jawed from what transpired. The strong girl was also stunned. They were unable to comprehend it as everything happened too fast. The spikes on top of the mutant beasts were destroyed, while its skull was almost shattered. Its entire head was deformed, with an ugly wound on it. It was apparent that the mutant beast was deader than dead!

The girl looked at Jiang Liushi’s tour bus, dumbfounded. ‘Impossible! Why is there not even a dent on the tour bus? What kind of vehicle is this?’ She had never seen or heard of a vehicle like that.

Soon, the tour bus’ door opened, and the girl saw a handsome young man accompanied by several beautiful maidens getting out of it.

“The mutant beast is yours. But, may I take one of its spikes?” asked the girl while looking at Jiang Liushi who was approaching her.

Jiang Liushi waved his hand and answered, “We don’t need them, you can have them.”

“Eh? No, you killed…hit it,” said the girl, feeling like she was dreaming. How could such a powerful mutant beast be killed so easily?

“I wanted to take one of its spikes because it destroyed one of our vehicles, killing three members of our team, so…”

“We’ll do like this, I’ll keep the mutant nucleus, as for anything else it’s yours,” said Jiang Liushi. Before the girl refused, he added, “Even if we didn’t help, you’d kill it in the end. Don’t worry. Actually, it’s us that interrupted your hunt.”

“Oh, thanks. Obedience is better than politeness,” replied the girl and bowed. She estimated that Shi Ying Squad wasn’t short on mutant meat as they could kill such a mutant beast without breaking a sweat.

Then, the girl called all of her members and ordered them to divide the mutant beast’s body. Not long after, she walked toward Jiang Liushi with a mutant nucleus in her hands.

“Here you are. You were right, we would sooner or later kill it, but it would take a lot of time to do so, and more casualties would be inevitable. Thank you very much,” said the girl politely.

Jiang Liushi was a little bit embarrassed after getting thanked so many times.

“Don’t mind. I’d like to ask you something if possible. You are Chinese, right?” asked the girl suddenly.

Jiang Liushi wasn’t surprised by her question. Although he had learned how to speak Japanese on an acceptable level due to his powerful brain domain, he had just learned its simplest usage. It was hard to avoid grammatical mistakes when speaking, and his accent was a dead giveaway that he was not a native speaker. Jiang Liushi didn’t want to dodge the question, so he nodded affirmatively.

“Are you all Chinese?” asked the girl while looking at Ran Xiyu and the other girls.

“Of course, we are,” answered Jiang Zhuying.

“You are so beautiful. Except for Sister Angelica, you are the most beautiful girls we’ve encountered. If you have any issues, feel free to tell me. Oh, where are my manners? I’m called Morita Tomiko. You can call me Tomiko,” said the girl.

“Well, Ms. Tomiko, actually, we’d like to join the security are. Therefore, could you lead the way for us…” said Jiang Liushi embarrassedly.

He noticed that Tomiko was not only curious about them but also too enthusiastic. It was like they were old friends. At the same time, Tomiko kept staring at the tour bus. It was clear that she wanted to ask about it, but she didn’t know if it was appropriate.

“Oh, do you want to join the Chukyo Base? You are powerful so you will become very popular in our base! I can lead you to our base’s management office. I’m acquainted with Sister Angelica over there,” explained Tomiko quickly.

“That would be great.” Jiang Liushi smiled. He guessed that the management office must be in the center of the Chukyo Base. Shen Kui and the others must have gone there once they arrived. It would be very convenient for them to have Tomiko lead them there.

While waiting for Tomiko’s members to finish dealing with the mutant beast, Jiang Liushi chitchatted with Tomiko and some of her teammates. He learned that Tomiko was a graduate college student and used to be a model. Through their cycle, she met Angelica, who was one of Japan’s famous stars. In fact, Jiang Liushi was uninterested in such gossips, but it was the only way to familiarize with Tomiko. As such, she shared lots of information.

“I used to want to go to China. Do you wanna know why? Merely because of the pandas! Although China has provided us with several pandas, they were still few in numbers. I’d like to go to China to look for pandas… and maybe find mutant ones. Then, I’d raised it…or get killed by it…this kind of animal should be more powerful after the catastrophe, right?” said Tomiko excitedly.

Jiang Liushi was rendered speechless after listening to her reasoning.

Tomiko asked, “Oh, Mr. Jiang, from what kind of materials is your tour bus made of? How could it be so powerful? It would be quite easy for you to catch a cute mutant panda…”

Tomiko’s reasoning shocked Jiang Liushi once again, but he still answered, “Special alloy! If we encounter a cute panda, it will indeed be easy…” Then, he noticed that Ran Xiyu and Li Yuxin were staring at him fervently.

“Pandas are actually fierce animals…” muttered Jiang Liushi.

“Hey! I heard what you said…” blurted Ran Xiyu.

“…”

After chatting with each other, Jiang Liushi had a general understanding of the situation in Chukyo Base. The base’s management was relatively strict, and it had its own guard team. The ordinary people that lived there needed to work to gain the right to reside there, while the paranormals needed to pay taxes every month. In addition, the ones in charge of the base had set a series of strict rules, and if one broke them, they’d be punished severely. Some offenders that did not want to accept punishment would disappear overnight, or they would never return if they were lucky enough to escape. According to Tomiko, several powerful paranormals were living in the base, but they did not pose a big threat to Jiang Liushi.

Soon, Jiang Liushi launched his tour bus and followed Tomiko’s team to the lively base. Then, they passed the gate, and gradually approached the management office. From far away, Jiang Liushi had already spotted a quiet manor…
