Chapter 77: Returning to the City

The mobile town, which covered a wide area, was surrounded by a protective cover and floated over the water. The lake was very large, and was ranked the first in size throughout the entire country before the apocalypse, but had now long become a paradise for mutant beasts.

Because of this, it was likely that no one would think that there would be a mobile town floating in the middle of the lake, surrounded by the reeds in the vast expanse of water.

This mobile town covered an area of 2000 square meters, but it was nothing compared with the huge lake with a water area of 2000 square kilometers. It floated quietly on the lake surface, looking calm and peaceful.

Yin Ming, once the second master of the Yin family, had already had his face fixed. Now, he was sitting in front of a computer, recording everything here with a specific password. Later, someone would send this to Li Rong in Anhang City.

In the beginning, Yin Hao pretended to be righteous and sentence his relatives to death, convicting him and exiling him outside the city; but in fact, Yin Ming didn’t suffer any hardship and was soon sent to this mobile town. Not to mention, he also had a facelift and became another person. With this new identity, as long as he was careful, he could even go back to the city to have a look.

Before the Spring Festival, he went back to the Yin family. At that time, he had been fairly content.

He had been in this mobile town for a whole year and a half, and everything here has already been put into motion. Since he came to this mobile town, he has felt the power of controlling other people’s lives, but he had encountered some problems recently.

Who would have thought that even though they paid so much money, Shi Qingyang and Cheng Ran still weren’t dead yet?

“Yin Ming, you ordered that no one should touch the three little girls?” A man came in from the outside, looking at Yin Ming gloomily.

“Ao Zhi, they can sell at a good price if they’re kept intact.” Yin Ming looked at the person opposite.

“The wind is so tight recently, what good price can it sell?” Ao Zhi sneered.

“Since you know this, why did you bring them back?” Yin Ming frowned, and his handsome young face was full of dissatisfaction.

“Of course I took them back for fun, and so no one else would find us out! Who let them bump into us while we were making a trade? In fact, if it weren’t for someone looking behind, those chicks’ armored vehicle could’ve also been brought back. It looked pretty good.”

Ao Zhi spoke foolishly, making Yin Ming’s eyebrows furrow tighter: “You’re not afraid of what those people might find, and come to our door?”

“How could they find anything? And don’t talk about me. Didn’t you leave behind some traces for your enemy to find? When your enemy saw them, you eagerly went to the boss and said that someone had found clues… If you hadn’t made such a mess, where would we need to deal with Shi Qingyang and Cheng Ran? Now you’re blaming me.”

Yin Ming’s face changed. Years ago, he really showed some clues to Liu Qilin, and then went to Li Rong, saying that Shi Qingyang found the mobile town and asked Li Rong to take revenge on these people for the Yin family…

At that time, he just wanted to find a chance to kill Shi Qingyang and He Lan, but he didn’t dare to make a move at all on Cheng Ran. But though he didn’t dare to move, Li Rong dared. The last big chase made him see Li Rong’s means, and he didn’t dare to think of making any of these careful moves any more.

Originally, after Cheng Ran had an accident, Xing Ou was taken away. Without Xing Ou and the Cheng family, the Yin family in Spark City could be said to be the largest power, but no one would have thought that Cheng Ran and Shi Qingyang didn’t die in the end.

Li Rong had scolded him severely before. If it weren’t for the secrecy of this place, he was afraid everything would come to an end and the mobile town would be transferred

“Doesn’t matter now, just don’t touch those three girls. They are all from the city, with good family backgrounds and talent. People would be willing to spend a lot of money to play with them. If given to you… Would they still survive?” Yin Ming sneered. There were few good people in this mobile town. For example, he had played with many women in the city before, and he had played all kinds of tricks here, but no matter how he played, he was not as powerful as Ao Zhi.

Ao Zhi had been here for a whole year and had killed ten people, including men and women. When they were finally thrown out of the mobile town, everyone was disfigured: “Ao Zhi, if you insist on this, I will report everything to the boss.”

“Yin Ming, we’ll see!” Ao Zhi gave Yin Ming a gloomy look and left the room.

Yin Ming turned around and called his men, “Haven’t there been any news recently? Where is Cheng Xuze’s mobile fortress?”

“Second master, the place is too big. We can’t find Cheng Xuze’s mobile fortress, but I’ve strengthened the defense outside and installed more cameras. If there is an accident, we can find out in advance.” The cameras in the field couldn’t transmit data through the network, and had to be connected to cable lines. These lines had to be wrapped in special material shells. Installing more cameras could even cost a huge amount of money.

“That’s good. Go on.” Yin Ming waved his hand and began to keep recording.

—

A camera was found on the periphery of the lake. After confirming that the lake was really related to the mobile town, Shi Qingyang stopped moving forward. He laid down in the mud and slowly retreated, fearing that a movement too large would be found by the camera. In order to hide, his whole person was soaked in muddy water.

A huge locust beast flew from afar, and its legs fell on him. With a fierce kick, it landed on a reed and looked back at him. It seemed to have contempt in its eyes.

The locust beast leisurely ate the vines wrapped around the reeds. Shi Qingyang only felt that his internal organs had been displaced by the kick, and he could only grit his teeth in secret.

Locust beast was a kind of mutant insect with very delicious meat. When he had met it in the past, he would never let it go easily. Once, he took the team out of the city and roasted a locust beast in its entirety… He imagined a hundred ways of death of the locust beast as Shi Qingyang continued to retreat.

At this time, the locust beast landed on another reed and swayed as the reed swayed up and down. Suddenly, a black-and-white mosquito beast flew down from the air. This was a female mosquito, and dozens of male mosquitoes were flying around it. The mosquito beast was much smaller than the locust beast, but the locust couldn’t stand up against such a large number. After being surrounded by them, the locust beast couldn’t move anymore.

Only the female mosquito ate. It stabbed its long proboscis into the body of the locust beast. After eating, it would choose the strongest male mosquito and lay eggs in the water… Shi Qingyang looked at the locust beast that had been sucked dry, and was more careful when leaving.

In order not to attract attention, their mobile fortress was a little far away from here. Not only that, but he didn’t even drive an armored vehicle over. Shi Qingyang slowly came out of the muddy swamp by the lake, and carefully ran between mutated plants. He ran for more than half an hour before returning to the mobile fortress.

After cleaning his muddy clothes outside, Shi Qingyang went in. As soon as he went in, he heard Cheng Xuze snort coldly, “You sure aren’t timid. How dare you go alone?”

“Grandpa…” Shi Qingyang smiled pleasantly. After they determined the goal, they thought about what to do. In fact, with the strength of Cheng Xuze, it wasn’t a big deal to directly go over and attack the mobile fortress, but with this method, they couldn’t guarantee the safety of the people living on it.

Moreover, if those people acted quickly and destroyed the mobile town directly, they might have nowhere to cry at that time, and there might not be any evidence to use against the Yin Family, let alone to find out the powers behind the Yin Family.

“Now that we have found the goal, I can just go and have a look. What are you up to?” Cheng Xuze frowned.

“Grandpa, isn’t it because I’m afraid of startling the snake, and tipping them off to our movements?” Shi Qingyang laughed and said, “In fact, I just looked outside and didn’t get close at all.” Although Cheng Xuze was the most powerful among them, he must have never done anything sneaky for many years. He was likely easier to be found out than Shi Qingyang himself.

Moreover, although he had always told Cheng Xuze that he was only level-3, in fact, he had reached level-4. To say nothing else, he would always be able to make an escape–there couldn’t be even level-6 rad-warriors in that mobile town.

Cheng Xuze looked up and down at Shi Qingyang’s complete equipment. He couldn’t say many scolding words. He could only ask, “Is there really a mobile town in that lake?”

“Yes, Grandpa, there is indeed a mobile town there. There are cameras in the reeds around,” Shi Qingyang said. The lake was surrounded by mutated reeds that became very tall after mutation, and there were some vines entangled on them, so that people in the area could not see the shape in the middle of the lake.

Of course, if you were in the air, you can easily see the appearance of the middle of the lake, but now that the magnetic field of the whole earth had been broken, and the radiation was so serious, the satellites and planes that used to fill the sky now had no way to lift off, let alone be used.

Some simple gliders, hot-air balloons and the like could still fly to the sky. The level-8 and level-9 rad-warriors could also attract the surrounding radiation to float up high, but the former would definitely be attacked by the mosquito beasts, dragonfly beasts, and butterfly beasts entrenched around the lake, and the latter…

If such masters really wanted to follow up here, the people in the mobile town would certainly use the most drastic means, such as starting up a self detonation device.

“Those bastards!” Cheng Xuze thought of Cheng Ran and Shi Qingyang, who were almost killed by those people, and scolded. Liu Qilin and Ye Houan were gnashing their teeth even more.

“Can we kill them and save our people? My daughter has been missing for five days…” Ye Houan’s lips trembled. Even if his daughter was still alive, he was afraid she would have faced great pain. As long as he thought of this, he couldn’t keep himself rational anymore.

“If you really went, they’ll kill your daughter immediately…” Liu Qilin said.

“Then we…” Ye Houan clenched his fists and cried silently.

Cheng Xuze was silent for a moment: “Ye Houan, since you know something about the mobile town, do you know anyone who can go in? Then let our people sneak in.”

“Sneak in?” Ye Houan moved his lips. “I might know a few people.”

“Let’s go back to the city first. Maybe we can find a way to control one of them and let him take us in. Anyway, we can’t startle the snake for the time being, let alone let others know that we already found out the existence of this mobile town,” Shi Qingyang said. He couldn’t wait to let those who dared to hunt down Cheng Ran die, but this matter, after all, involved the lives of many innocent people, and he surely had to save the people in the mobile town first.

Ye Houan gave himself two slaps and nodded.

In front of Cheng Xuze, Shi Qingyang didn’t show anything, but when he returned to the room and faced Cheng Ran, he immediately complained of bitterness: “Ranran, I’m so unlucky these few days. I went to go scope the area, and unexpectedly ran into a locust beast. It also kicked me and looked down at me in contempt!” Shi Qingyang hugged Cheng Ran’s waist.

“Are you hurt?” Cheng Ran immediately asked, and stretched out his hand to take off Shi Qingyang’s clothes.

“My back hurts,” Shi Qingyang immediately said.

Cheng Ran soon pulled off Shi Qingyang’s clothes. Shi Qingyang’s back was bare, and there was nothing except a little red the size of the palm of his hand.

“How is my back?” Shi Qingyang actually had no pain, but in front of Cheng Ran, even if it was just a small injury, he also wanted to ask for comfort.

“You have a wound on your back. Let me rub it for you!” Cheng Ran stretched out his hand and touched it. Shi Qingyang was tall and had many muscles on his body. He always liked to help Shi Qingyang apply medicine, even if there was no wound… It didn’t matter, he could even apply some skin care.

“Alright.” Shi Qingyang nodded. This was also a way of eating tofu; after eating too much, Cheng Ran could get used to the feeling of touching him, and then he could eat up the whole person.

With a smile, Cheng Ran took out a bottle of moisturizing ointment that Ran Xue taught him to prepare before, applied it to Shi Qingyang’s back, and slowly rubbed him up. Shi Qingyang’s skin was very good, and it felt really nice to touch as he pleased.

Cheng Ran had only rubbed for a short time when Shi Qingyang, who had not slept much these days, fell asleep. When they woke up the next day, the mobile fortress was close to Anhang City.

As soon as Ye Houan arrived at the entrance to the city, he left quickly. He wanted to see his wife and inquire about the news. Like him, Cheng Xuze also had a lot to do.

Cheng Ran had planned to go home and look for production videos for medicines that needed to be made with radiant energy, but he didn’t expect hat just as he wanted to enter Anhang City, and there was a noise from the contact terminal in his hand. He looked down and found that he had a large amount of money in his account.

He was not an adult, and his account given to him by the Cheng family had been with Gu Changjin. Gu Changjin would help him prepare what he wanted to buy, and Gu Changjin would give him an allowance every month.

Previously, he bet all his pocket money on Shi Qingyang’s victory, but after Shi Qingyang won, they soon left the city. In the end, he didn’t receive the money until he returned to the city just now.

“Ranran, what’s the matter?” Shi Qingyang asked curiously.

“Qingyang, I won some money. Shall I buy you a combat suit?” Cheng Ran directly handed his account to Shi Qingyang and showed it to Shi Qingyang.

Shi Qingyang thought of Cheng Ran buying something with what he had won, and his heart was warm. Naturally, there was no reason not to agree: “Sounds good.”

If they went shopping now, and behaved naturally, this could also make people who paid attention to them relax their vigilance, can’t they?

When it came to battle suits and radiation protection suits, the ones sold by Aocheng Company from Yangtze City were basically top-notch. Cheng Ran’s radiation protection suits were purchased there. This time, he also directly took Cheng Ran there.

However, as soon as they arrived at the door of the Aocheng store, they unexpectedly saw a miracle.

The shopping guide lady who used to be very enthusiastic to customers in the Aocheng franchise store was looking at a fat man disdainfully: “Our store, not everyone can enter.”

Fat man was about 300 kilograms. Now, weight-loss pills were everywhere. It wasn’t easy to grow as big as him, and beside him, a man who looked extremely thin compared with the fat man hummed coldly: “Do you know who my young master is?”

“Who is it?” The shopping guide looked surprised.

“My young master is the heir of the Huofeng Company. Can’t he afford to buy things here?” The thin man said again, cocky.

The originally arrogant shopping guide immediately bowed and apologized repeatedly, while the fat young master quickly went in, waved his hand, and bought a lot of things.

“What’s going on?” Cheng Ran couldn’t react.

“Her acting skill is too bad…” Shi Qingyang found that the shopping guide was already smiling, and was speechless. How could there be such a shopping guide without good eyes in a place like this?

At this time, another shopping guide had found them. Cheng Ran was now a celebrity. The shopping guide smiled and greeted them. Seeing that they were paying attention to the fat man, he immediately explained: “The young master has just come to Anhang City these days, and he likes that others can’t recognize him. Then he explains his identity, making everyone admire him very much. The people around him have told us in advance, so we can only follow along with him.”

This fat man was really bored… But wasn’t Huofeng Company that armored vehicle company? Why didn’t he hear that Huofeng Company had such a wonderful successor?

Moreover, such a fat man, was he still even able to wear a combat suit?
