The 'palace' had already changed .

Zhang Hai and Sun Kun, with two other soldiers, had gathered the survivors in the square to train them on how to use weapons and fight .

After Boss Sun's death, and the eradication of his faction, Ye County's garrison forces had been affected, but the city wall was still there . As a result, the survivors had to become more active and help each other to survive in Ye County . Fortunately, Ye County was a rural area with plenty of fields, and its resources could sustain them for a long time .

"Little Liushi, we heard that you need diesel . There're some barrels in Sun's warehouse, which you can take . " The moment Su Han heard of Jiang Lishi's return, she rushed to meet him .

"Diesel?" Jiang Liushi was in great need of it . His mining truck had consumed a lot of diesel . However, Ye County's survivors also needed diesel to generate electricity, so Jiang Liushi only took a few barrels, just to fill its tank .

"We'll be leaving for Star City Base soon . Sister, will you and aunt come with us?" Jiang Liushi said .

Star City Base was a place similar to Shenhai Island . It was even larger and safer .

Su Han hesitated and explained, "Little Liushi, I've already discussed with my mom . We'd like to stay here and work together with the survivors . After all, Ye County is our hometown… Moreover, if we can make a difference, it'll be incredible," Su Han said .

Although Su Han and her mother knew that Jiang Liushi was strong enough to take them with him, since they were ordinary people, they couldn't be of help .   

"Sister Han…"

"Little Liushi, don't worry . We can take care of ourselves . You can always come back to see us…" Su Han interrupted Jiang Liushi .

Jiang Liushi decided to respect their decision .

The gathered survivors looked spirited and more active than before . They had recovered after the military distributed some of Boss Sun's resources .

"The three professors also taught us how to grow rice and produce more per mu . It'll be enough to sustain us for life," Su Han said .

Jiang Liushi knew that only professor Qin was a botanist . He did not expect that the other two professors were all engaged in agriculture…

"When we reach Star City Base, they should be able to achieve great things," Jiang Liushi said .

In that terrible post-apocalyptic world, food and resources were the most important aspects . It was no wonder that military would try its best to send them safely .

Jiang Liushi stayed in Ye County for several days, before leaving for Star City Base .

Star City Base was an important central city, located between the Yangtze River and one of the largest industrial and commercial cities in Central South parts .

Jiang Liushi had never visited it in the past . Originally, he was interested in Star City's several historic sites, but unfortunately, most of them no longer existed .

The moment they entered Star City, Jiang Liushi noticed the abandoned buildings on both sides, and many devastated vehicles in the streets . What's worse, a nasty smell lingered in the air .

"Sigh… It's indeed terrible . Every city is like that now," Li Yuxin said .

"It's a global disaster," Jiang Liushi said .

He had seen a movie in the past, where a zombie appeared in a city, and then it affected the whole world . At that time, he felt it was impossible, but doomsday proved otherwise . He realized that the virus' outbreak was like a tsunami, no force could stop it .

"Star City Base is in the northern part of Star City . We'll need a day to reach it . We have to find a place to camp for the night," Zhu Changqing's voice came from the walkie-talkie .

Traveling through the urban area was the fastest way .

"No problem," Jiang Liushi agreed .

However, Zhu Changqing's voice sounded again, "Captain Jiang, there's a platoon in front of us!"

"Platoon?" Jiang Liushi entered the gunner room to observe the situation . After consuming mutant meat for so long, Jiang Liushi's eyesight had become better than other ordinary people . Soon, he saw a few obstacles blocking the road . However, Jiang Liushi couldn't see any person .

"About 30 people are hiding in the buildings next to the obstacles," Ran Xiyu immediately said .

Hiding in the building was a common strategy to avoid zombies .

At that time, someone stretched a banner out from one of the windows, shaking a few times .

"Captain Jiang, that's a way to communicate . They're asking who we are," said Zhu Changqing .

"Okay . Respond to them," said Jiang Liushi .

He also noticed a flag appearing on the roof of a military vehicle, but he couldn't understand the reason behind it . Anyway, he didn't care, as it was the military's way to exchange information .

"They let us pass," said Zhu Changqing .

As the team gradually approached the blockade, Jiang Liushi felt strange . They were still hidden .

"We have to hurry, please quickly remove the roadblock!" Zhu Changqing shouted .

At that moment, a voice came from a window, "Are you coming from Shenhai Island to escort three scientists?"

"Yes, please hurry up," said Zhu Changqing .

Before the relocation of those scientists, both sides had reached a consensus through the radio . When they communicated, they had given their identities, so it was quite normal that they guessed their tasks .

"We've been waiting for you for a long time . We'll take it from here . Please follow our orders," the other side said .

Hearing those words, Jiang Liushi felt it was strange .

At that time-

"Om!"

Two military trucks rushed out from the side of the alley, blocking them from behind .
