Chapter 216

Although Jiang Liushi confirmed it was not a trap, he also thought he should be careful, so he brought Ying, Ran Xiyu, and his sister . Other than that, Jiang Liushi also asked to drive his own car . That officer nodded his head . That order, "No cars are allowed on the road of the first district of Shenhai Island . " was only meant for ordinary people . Military's cars were allowed to drive everywhere .

By the time they reached the old General's villa, it was the best moment for enjoying tea . The villa was large and clean . As soon as they entered the villa, Jiang Liushi saw a wooden table, on which Gongfu Tea was placed . A silver-haired old man was plucking tea leaves with a pair of tweezers from the cups . "Mr . Jiang, nice to meet you . I've long been looking forward to meeting you . " Seeing Jiang Liushi, the old General stood up and stretched out his hand .

"This is our leader," explained the officer accompanying Jiang Liushi .

"My surname is Zhang, and you can call me old Zhang . " The silver-haired old man said calmly . Actually, the old man was a highly respected General, so Jiang Liushi was shocked by his modesty . And then he also stretched out his hand to shake . That old man's handshake was gentle yet so powerful . His hand had thick calluses, probably because of the constant usage of his gun .

"Hello, I'm Jiang Liushi . I'm just an ordinary person . You probably just heard of me . " Jiang Liushi said .

"Hahaha!"Hearing Jiang Liushi's response, that silver-haired old man laughed immediately . "Yes, you are right . I heard about your name today . Actually, I just wanted to break the ice with some flattering words . In my days as a General, the only thing I was good at was fighting fiercely against enemies in the war . My socializing skills weren't my strong point . "

Jiang Liushi was shocked by his words because that old man was entirely different from other military leaders . Truth be told, the General changed Jiang Liushi's point of view .

That war mentioned by the General was indeed a story of the past to Jiang Liushi . He did not expect that he could encounter someone who actually fought in that war . Jiang Liushi's admiration toward the General increased at once .

"Come, and drink some tea . In addition to playing with guns, I also like drinking tea . " The old General said while putting all the cups right to their places, filling with Longjing tea . Emerald green tea was like jade crystal . However, one could enjoy good tea could only if a tea expert poured it .

Jiang Liushi said, "Excuse me, General Zhang, I don't know how to properly drink tea . "

"Haha, just have a try, and you will grasp the process quickly . I didn't know either how to properly prepare and enjoy it, but I learned . Although I was quite good at shooting, I thought my life should be more colorful . At last, I found that I really like to drink tea . However, it's a real pity that after doomsday, tea has become a rare luxury . " The old General said .

Jiang Liushi started learning from the General the way to properly taste the fragrant tea . Even if he had no idea about tea, Jiang Liushi could taste the special fragrance of tea . And then Jiang Liushi felt calm . It was quite precious that he could feel at ease for a moment in this chaotic world .

"Well . General Zhang… what's the reason you wanted to meet me?" Jiang Liushi got straight to the point .

"I learned about your feud with Chu Chongshan . "　

"Yes," Jiang Liushi said frankly, and he looked at the old General, thinking if he may be Chu Chongshan enemy .

The silver-haired old General seemed to have guessed Jiang Liushi's thought . And then he laughed, "I really don't agree with Chu Chonghan . Not only we frequently disagree with each other and have conflicting military opinions, but our statuses were different before doomsday too . I also didn't like his son . " The old General answered honestly without any hesitation . "However, Little Jiang, we should take the whole situation into consideration . After all, the first district of Shenhai Island is in danger . Today, I invited you here for another issue…"

"It is about that nuclear power plant…"The old General's words shocked Jiang Liushi at once .

"Uh? Nuclear power plant?"

"Well, Little Jiang you may not know about it . Qinshan Nuclear Power Station is south of the Shenhai City, about tens of kilometers away . Of course, it is far away from us . However, once a nuclear leak happens, it will still threaten us . Moreover, the danger of nuclear leaks after doomsday may not be as simple as that of radiation, but they may also mutate further mutant animals . "

"After the virus' outbreak, everyone in the Qinshan Nuclear Power Station died, but the reactor is still running . However, because of the power outage, the cooling water can't be recycled, so the reactor will only keep getting hotter . I don't quite understand the professional term, but the technicians said it would cause an even more terrible explosion than those of Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear power plants, causing incalculable consequences . Some nuclear plants have already deteriorated… A few days ago the military launched a special mission, that is, to shut down the nuclear power plant…"

Hearing the old General's words, Jiang Liushi opened his mouth .

The country had more than one nuclear power plant… Not only that, nuclear power plants all over the world were unmanaged, once a large-scale explosion happened, then the consequences would be really unthinkable .

"Well… so it's not only us, but the survivors of other regions will have to shut down all nuclear power plants in the near future if scientists and the government are involved . However, I'm afraid that some areas will stay without someone leading them . Actually, it's all because we wrongly estimated the virus' outbreak…We were totally unprepared for the outbreak . " The old General explained .

"At first, the nuclear power station was going to be closed 10 days before the outbreak of doomsday . After all, Shenhai Island's construction couldn't be completed without the transportation of materials supported by electricity . Although the materials needed were all gathered, the virus outbreak happened so unexpectedly, and we were unable to follow the original plans . " The old General said .

Hearing his words, Jiang Liushi was absorbed in his thoughts .

"Uh? We had no idea about mutant beasts in that area…our mission was serious…" Jiang Liushi said .

"Yes, you are right . We had sent a dedicated battalion of troops to complete this mission with two Type 99 tanks, four Type 92 infantry fighting vehicles, including two armed helicopters, however…something unexpected happened . "
