Chapter 421

"Boss, a shabby minibus is right behind us . They may be survivors from Qishan City . "

Several people were sitting in the leading SUV, among them was a youth covered in tattoos, and he was the one who spoke to the middle-aged driver . The youth noticed that the minibus was well-preserved but not modified or reinforced . He knew that it was a favorite model for ordinary survivors as its interior was spacious, but that one was below average . Finally, he noticed that its license plate number was not local .

'How were they able to drive such a shabby minibus all the way here for more than one kilometer?'

"I saw it . " The middle-aged man in the cab was wearing sunglasses and a short-sleeved jacket, which showcased his muscles . The temperature was below zero, but he didn't feel cold at all .

The middle-aged man said coldly, "Little Seven, go and collect the guiding fee from them . Be careful not to scare them . Most of them should be ordinary survivors . "

The middle-aged man was called Ling Feng . He was leading an elite team of survivors, and they were roaming in the wild most of the time . In order to gain more resources, they would usually accept mission issued by Xiayuan Island, mostly ones that had to do with killing mutant beasts .

"Brother Ling Feng, you are magnanimous . If I were you, I would ignore them in such a cold day," Little Seven whispered .

Although Ling Feng's eyes were covered by the sunglasses, thus making his expression hard to read, he could not help but faintly smile when he heard his subordinate's fulsome flattery .

Currently, Jiang Liushi's minibus had reached the end of the traffic stream, but he was speechless . He wondered why those cars in front of them didn't move forward . Only a single lane could be accessed . Looking ahead, surrounded by heavy snow, there was no other way, so he had to stop temporarily .

At that moment, Jiang Liushi saw a young man with tattoos jumping from the SUV in front of them . Even though it was snowing, the young man was still wearing a T-shirt, and they could clearly see his bulging muscles .

Jiang Liushi could sense energy fluctuations coming from the young man who was quickly approaching the minibus . He knocked on Jiang Liushi's window, and the latter glanced at him before looking at Ran Xiyu . Then, she shook her head, indicating that there was no danger .

Jiang Liushi rolled down the cab's window indifferently and slowly . "What's wrong?"

In the young man's eyes, Jiang Liushi, who was sitting leisurely in the driver's seat and looking at him, seemed about 20 years old . Apart from being very quiet with a mysterious temperament, he did not exude any strong energy fluctuations .

After seeing Jiang Liushi, the young man knew that his judgment of them being ordinary survivors was right . However, he suddenly noticed the minibus' luxurious interior and saw a beautiful young girl dressed in a black leather jacket and pants sitting in the co-pilot seat . Surprisingly, that beauty seemed delicate and tender, without the slightest trace of bitterness .

Although Little Seven had sensed some energy fluctuations from the car, he believed that this team could not be compared with his own . At the same time, he felt unhappy talking with an ordinary survivor instead of a paranormal .

"What's wrong? It's a matter of life and death, or more precisely, yours!" Little Seven raised his eyebrow, making his face look cold . "You are going to Xiayuan Island, right? You should know that this area is filled with many beasts and all the roads are in ruins . If you want safe passage, you can follow us as we know of a shortcut . Our team comes from Xiayuan Island so we can protect you . Of course, you can also choose not to follow us . Anyway, the guiding fee is not worth a few dollars to us . It's just that our boss has a good heart and let me come to inform you . "

Jiang Liushi frowned . He got a lot of information from the young man .

"How much does the guiding fee cost?" Jiang Liushi asked .

"Ten jars of canned meat or ten liters of gasoline," Little Seven answered . He deliberately said that . In this terrible post-apocalyptic world, some ordinary survivors would risk their lives to find one can, let alone ten cans . There wasn't enough gasoline at all .

Jiang Liushi had to keep every drop of gasoline he had for the flamethrower . As for canned meat, how could they possibly have food which was not nutritious with them? The young man was asking for trouble on purpose .

"Hmm…How about this?" Jiang Liushi suddenly stretched out his hand and revealed a few chunks of charred meat .

Zhang Hai was the one who had cooked those chunks of meat in order to feel Luoluo, but he had lost control of the fire . Moreover, they had not expected that Luoluo would refuse to eat the charred meat . As a result, they wanted to throw them away . 　　

At that moment, Jiang Liushi handed them to the young man . Anyway, mutant meat was worth more than canned meat . When the black meat was taken out from the car, it contained cumin flavor .

"Do you take me for a fool?" Little Seven was angry at first, but then he noticed that Jiang Liushi had given him mutant meat .

"Isn't it enough?" Jiang Liushi asked again .

"These chunks are enough," Little Seven answered at once . He was afraid that Jiang Liushi would go back on his words . He guessed that the charred chunks mutant meat were all they had .

When he returned, Ling Feng could tell that there was something wrong . "What's wrong? Did they not want to pay the guiding fee?" Ling Feng asked . Actually, the guiding fee was nothing to his elite survivors' team, but it was one of their rules . Otherwise, other survivors' teams will nurse a grievance . After all, every team did so .

"Here you are . " Little Seven gave the charred chunks of mutant meat to Ling Feng .

Ling Feng was shocked by the amount of meat and shook his head . "I told you not to embarrass them . Why did you take all of their mutant meat?"

Later, Jiang Liushi followed them slowly to that shortcut . The so-called shortcut was just a dirt road covered by heavy snow in the mountains, which none others than locals could know how to find .

Along the way, Jiang Liushi noticed that there were large trees on both sides that had fallen . Without exception, the trees had been uprooted violently, and their barks were seriously damaged . It seemed that mutant beasts such as fierce calves had appeared too . In some places, there were deep pit caves and traces of intense battles . Obviously, that shortcut had also been affected by mutant beasts' attacks . After driving for about one day, at noon, the team finally went out from the lush forests .

Seeing the situation in the distance, Jiang Liushi was totally shocked . He saw a very large city, standing out in the snowstorm . The walls of this city were not visible in the wind and snow, and this city was built entirely on the mountain . The gray concrete walls extending into the distant snow plains . In front of the city walls, a large number of barbed wire and iron fences were arranged, and behind the iron fences, one could see a tall sentry tower . The sentry tower had six floors, and at the top floor, a very powerful heavy machine gun was aimed at the bottom . What surprised Jiang Liushi most was that he could see several huge concrete columns, which were spewing hot plumes of smoke above the mountain .

The hot plume and light indicated two things-Industrial system and power system! And lights could appear during the day, indicating that the power system inside was intact . Seeing the traces of modern civilization again, Jiang Liushi became quite excited .

Xiayuan Island was several times larger than Shenhai Island . As a result, Jiang Liushi believed that the modern human civilization system preserved inside would be complete .

"Everyone, get out of the way!" Someone shouted suddenly .

Jiang Liushi recovered and found another large fleet coming their way with more than 30 cars . The leading one was a heavy truck, which was driven as quickly as a flash, ignoring the other cars in its path .

The blizzard had made the road slippery and the one driving the heavy truck did not intend to use the brakes at all . As a result, it hit one of the survivors' cars, which then was smashed against several other vehicles . The heavy truck kept rushing on the lane leading to the quarantine gate on the farthest outskirts of Xiayuan Island .
