Hao Jian wouldn’t believe that Shi Gong Dui was as weak as Peng Mao just because of Shi Gong Dui’s show of weakness. But now that the rain will soon stop, they will be leaving and they will not have any more entanglements with Shi Gong Dui, so she has to take the time to ask everything she wants to know before leaving.

“Where is your refuge base here?”

“At the airport just seven kilometers away. Almost everyone who heard the evacuation announcement went to the airport. Later, because of a stampede, zombie virus carriers got mixed in, resulting in a sharp rise in the number of deaths and injuries.

Later, the escort team learned its lesson and strengthened the airport protection first and then divided all the survivors who had entered their shelter into many parts – each part was set up with isolation fences to form individual camps. This is to ensure that when a zombie appears in the isolation camps, it won’t affect the survivors from other camps.

Although the airport is located in a remote area and surrounded by farmland, the view is very good. But many people had gathered there before after all, so there are often hordes of zombies roaming around. Now there are fewer zombies in the city.”

“These things happened after the communication signal was cut off, how did you know?”

“Of course I connected to their communication channel by riding in their frequency and overheard it!”

This time, Hao Jian didn’t say that he was doing something illegal. She pondered for a moment and then asked, “Then, apart from the stampede, has there been any other incidents that caused more serious casualties?”

Lian Ru Ning had returned to Hao Jian’s side. Hearing her question, she knew that Hao Jian wanted to find out if there were any ‘Wugui’ forces in the area.

Shi Gong Dui’s eyes flickered, “I can only occasionally listen to those situations and not all the time, so I really don’t know if there are other incidents.”

Hao Jian also felt that he could not hope for Shi Gong Dui to know, so she planned to ask one last question, “Do you have a way to contact the escort team in the Southern City?”

Shi Gong Dui replied, “Southern City is too far away, and the signal I can receive is only half the range of Xinghua City.”

“What about contacting the them through the official network?” Lian Ru Ning asked.

“Sister, if I dare to send a message to the officials, in less than a second, my network here will be completely blocked and the guards can come to my door at any time and take me away and torture me to extract a confession!”

The corner of Hao Jian’s mouth twitched, “Is that bad? Your food is almost finished anyway. Aren’t you worried that you can’t go to the refuge base? Once the guards come, your safety is also guaranteed.”

Shi Gong Dui sharply shook his head violently, “No, I don’t want to go to the refuge base! There are a lot of people there and the conditions are simple. I live here in a more spacious room, why would I go and make things difficult for myself? I live alone, and as long as I don’t make any big noise, I won’t attract any zombie. What about in the refuge base? There are tens of thousands of people crowded together. There’s no entertainment there, let alone a life, not to mention that after the zombies besieged the city, I’ll be nothing more and become a ration!”

At this time, Peng Mao’s voice came out from the radio, “Hao Jian, the rain is getting lighter.”

Lian Ru Ning opened the curtains and saw that the sky outside wasn’t as gloomy as before and the rain had also decreased. The time now has shifted to the afternoon and the sun is still nowhere to be found.

Hao Jian said, “Come on, let’s go down first.”

The three of them went downstairs and Shi Gong Dui curled his lips, closed the door and continued to play on his own.

Xin Ting couldn’t help but sigh, “I have never seen such a decadent person!”

From the time they came here to the time they were ready to leave, Shi Gong Dui didn’t have any thoughts to resist and cooperated obediently. Even if they wanted to empty the place, he didn’t look like he had any objection.

Lian Ru Ning pondered for a moment, “I think he’s actually very smart.”

Hao Jian nodded, “He deliberately acted weak just to reduce our murderous intent. If he didn’t have soft bones, how did he survive from all those who robbed him of food? Those who robbed him aren’t vicious people in the first place, but just fancied his family’s belongings and food. If he doesn’t resist, those people will naturally not kill him.”

And Hao Jian also felt that he should still have some reservations. Since he was not willing to say, she also didn’t bother to waste time on him.

The rain soon stopped and Hao Jian took the binoculars and looked at the distance. Although the zombies were still one or two kilometers away and didn’t spot them, it was still unconsciously wandering towards their direction.

“Pack up and get ready to leave.”

As soon as the words fell, Shi Gong Dui’ shout came again, He ran downstairs with a ‘boom boom boom’, and saw Hao Jian and the others who were still there. He couldn’t help but cry, “My internet was blocked, I was found out!”

“. . . What?”

Shi Gong Dui hugged his laptop with a look of having a miserable life, “Just a moment ago, after you sent out those messages, the officials seems to have captured the dynamics of my network domain and then took the initiative to launch an attack. Fortunately, I was able to block is quickly, otherwise my location information would’ve been exposed! But my network is completely blocked, what should I do. . .”

Although they didn’t understand much, they could still guess that a contest between the ‘hacker’ and the ‘white guest’ occurred between them. Of course, it was Shi Gong Dui who lost in the end.

Although he is an expert in this area, he is now just a shut-in for a year or two after working after all, so naturally he can’t fight against talents at the national level. He being found was to be expected.

Lian Ru Ning and Xin Ting apologized a little, but Hao Jian’s skin were still very thick, “We are laymen and there’s nothing we can do about it, you go and figure it out!”

Shi Gong Dui pointed at her, “You are heartless, you are cold, and you’re irresponsible!”

“Congratulations! You discovered her true face in such a short time!” Peng Mao said happily.

“. . .”

Shi Gong Dui said, “I don’t care, I can’t access the internet because of you guys. I don’t care if I don’t have food, but without 2D girls, my spiritual food is gone. You guys are responsible for me!”

“What? Don’t you have dozens of T resources stored in your computer?” Hao Jian asked.

“These are two different things!”

Peng Mao felt that something was wrong, “Hey, no, even if there’s the internet, people don’t have entertainment broadcast for you to see, ah. You’re deliberately looking for trouble, right? You’re deliberately looking for a fight, aren’t you?”

Shi Gong Dui shrank back, and Lian Ru Ning felt that they were the ones who got Shi Gong Dui into trouble and it would be a bit unkind to deny it at this time, so she stopped Peng Mao and asked him, “But no one among us understands this and we can’t make up for it. What do you want?”

Shi Gong Dui’s eyes turned to Hao Jian’s unhappy look and his heart thumped. The words he wanted to say changed as soon as they left his mouth, “The officials will definitely follow the traces to find me here, so it’s no longer safe for me to stay here. You guys send me home, I’ll go with you!”

“Isn’t this your home?”

“This is the villa my grandfather left me. My family still has a three-bedroom house in Xiang City!”

“. . .” Why is there a strong air of showing off wealth?

Hao Jian refused without even thinking, “No. We won’t go to Xiang City.”

“Lies! I just looked at your browsing records, you checked the situation in Chengxiang, Xiang City, Southern City university, and Nanhai University, so you must be going to Southern City! The university town is not far from Xiang City, you will not purposely bypass Xiang City to go to university town!”

Hao Jian glanced at Lian Ru Ning, who also looked back at her, and the tacit understanding formed between the two girls. After working together for a long time, it allowed each other to understand that Shi Gong Dui’s behavior was suspicious.

They couldn’t believe what Shi Gong Dui said was true. Other than seeing his picture in the bedroom, there was nothing else to prove that this was his home.

When Hao Jian asked him about the roadblocks set up by the survivors, his answer was somewhat vague. He only said that the people in the town organized themselves to kill the zombies, not that they had set up roadblocks, so he must have been hiding some truth.

Hao Jian asked him to contact the officials, isn’t that a temptation?

Shi Gong Dui is avoids going to the refuge base for fear of becoming a ration, however, the level of danger in Xiang City is no less than the Southern City. Not to mention that his home is in the city, even if he went back, how can he live on?

In view of all his suspicious behavior, Hao Jian said, “Even so, we can’t take you. However, we can send you to the refuge base in Xinghua City.”

Shi Gong Dui knew that Hao Jian and the others were completely distrustful of him, so he had to sigh and said, “Alright. it’s not easy for everyone so it’s better to be honest. I’ll tell you the truth!”

“Ah? Dare I say that what you just told us were all lies?” Xin Ting asked in surprise.

“Half-truth, half-truth! In fact, the refuge base has long been unsustainable because it has long become an amusement park for zombies.” Shi Gong Dui drooped his shoulders.

Hao Jian and the others’ expression became solemn, “What happened?”

As Shi Gong Dui said earlier, the airport was indeed once used as a refuge base by the escort team. In order to prevent the zombie virus from infecting other people, the escort team asked the people to observe and report about each other.

This way greatly reduced the risk and the situation at the refuge base quickly stablized.

Although Shi Gong Dui was robbed by the nanny and outsiders at the time, he didn’t go because he still had food left over and also disliked the bad environment of the refuge base.

Under the sadness, he remembered that he bought a bunch of equipment at that time.

The forums said that the arrival of the end times will most likely cut off the internet, electricity, and water. It was really the apocalypse for a person who can not live without the internet, so he spent millions in buying so many equipment.

Although the generators and other things were robbed, those people didn’t understand that the really valuable equipment was actually an unremarkable pile of ‘scrap iron’.

Although he entered the official’s LAN, but he still had no access to the government’s secret files. He wanted to keep himself abreast of the government’s movements and also wanted to give himself more means to save his life, so he thought of using these devices that can receive electromagnetic waves within the city to capture the communication band of the military.

After debugging and filtering all of the useless signals, he manage to access the frequency band used for military communication. He then learned a lot of news from it, including, ‘All localities have sent out the new of food shortages to their superiors, requesting for food allocation, and the city’s military will be sent out to the granary to get food,’ and so on.

He thought at the time that the country was reliable, but at that time, there were people coming to rob him, so he had to put away the equipment first.

After that day, when he received the communication from the military again, he heard the news that the escort team reported to their superiors that they had lost contact with the team who went out and pick up food.

Although he didn’t know what happened during that time, he felt that those escorts who lost contact should have been bitten to the bone by the zombies.

Then the day before yesterday, he listen to the news that the survivors of the airport refuge base had learned from somewhere that their relief food was gone and that them staying in the refuge base was tantamount to waiting for death. The survivors became angry and wanted to leave the refuge base one after another.

However, many zombies had gathered outside and when they opened the gap, the zombies flocked around. . .

The military hurriedly sent a signal to the neighboring cities requesting assistance and informing them on the way that someone had tapped into their communications and that their communication lines were no longer secure.

Shi Gong Dui thought that the military had found him, he was so frightened that he didn’t dare to move for a long time.

But until yesterday, he didn’t find anyone coming to arrest him, so he had the courage to quietly dock into the military’s communication band again.

Although there was no signal coming from the military, he picked up a signal coming from the same bandwidth.

The content of their conversation had nothing to do with the military. They were discussing how to clear all the zombies in the surrounding dragon houses and then use them as strongholds when starting their operations.

They planned to block all the main roads and then finish cleaning up the zombies in Xinghua City, so that this place will become a ‘paradise’.

Although Shi Gong Dui didn’t know who they were, he guessed that they were definitely not members of the military.

He soon had a question. Why can these people use the military’s communication frequency? Are they not afraid that the military will find out?

There is only one answer. They must have obtained the communication tools of the military and 80% of the soldiers of the airport refuge base had already met with an accident.

He wasn’t sure about the identity of those people and was skeptical about the identity of the people passing by because he was worried that if he learned these secrets, he would be caught and killed by those people.

When Hao Jian and the others came over, it was in what he thought was the ‘danger of being discovered,’ so he hid upstairs and kept and eye on Hao Jian and the others from the beginning.

However, when he heard their initial conversation and accent though the wiretap, he knew that they had just come from outside and were probably different from those people.

So he tried to test them by providing them the internet to make sure that they were just ordinary people passing by. Only then did he completely let down his guard and was willing to tell them some truth.

But him doing so is tantamount of him exposing himself to the eyes of the government, so he started with the intention of leaving and be entangles with Hao Jian and the others, and right now was a good time to leave.
