Ling Chen returned to the car and passed on the news to the other two people. XunMi leaned her head out to look forward. The line was so long that she couldn’t see the end.

“Let’s get out. We’ll walk over.” Ye MingYe decided.

It was almost noon. It was the time of day when the air was the pungent. The zombies were bound to find them soon.

XunMi agreed. The group reversed into a small road nearby. Behind a few trees, they placed the car back into the space storage. They all put on large black bags so that no one would be suspicious of them. When passing by the middle-aged man in his car, Ling Chen couldn’t help but give him advice. “Brother, you should just hitch a ride from them.”

He didn’t stop for long. Ling Chen quickly rushed forward to catch up with the two others.

XunMi lined up behind the crowd of people. Her eyes narrowed. There were a lot of people in front of her. It would still take a while to get to their turn. Her map already showed red dots a thousand kilometers away. Even though that seemed far away, they would only be able to inspect 1/3 of the people in line by then. She pulled on the hand of the person next to her. XunMi said worriedly, “Brother Ye, there are zombies coming. What do we do?” She was fine. She could escape or stay without a problem. But there were so many other people here. Her main mission was to save the world. Then it would probably be good to save more people.

XunMi’s trust and dependence on him was very effective towards Ye MingYe. But before he could enjoy the pink bubbles forming, the scene of his death appeared stubbornly in his head. His eyes became cold as his body stiffened.

“Find the highest ranking officers here. Tell them. Their decision is up to them.” Ye MingYe finally found his tongue again. It seemed like the only thing to do.

“Brother Ling, can you help find a military officer. Say it’s the Ming family’s second young miss asking.” Since they were from B city, then they would know Ming family’s standings. Her current identity was still useful.

Ling Chen nodded, and ran ahead. XunMi pulled Ye MingYe away from the crowd and waited on the side for the officer. Soon, a man wearing a military uniform came back with Ling Chen.

Ye MingYe and XunMi’s eyebrows both raised. He was one of the big figures in the future. Song ZiQian, military leader. In the future, he would break away and make his own army. There had been people in the military that were used to playing around before the apocalypse. Now, in the middle of the apocalypse, they still wanted special treatment. They didn’t care for the citizens. In this new environment, they hadn’t reflected on their behavior. Rather, they increased their inner greed. This was also part of the reason why B city would later become ShiGuang base when the male lead took the reins.

“Miss Ming, what did you need?” Song ZiQian was a military man. He was a man of little words. He thought Ming XunMi called him over to let her pass before the others. His tone was cold.

XunMi didn’t pay his attitude too much to mind. This was truly a good person. When the world turned upside down, he had the power and influence and yet didn’t change at all.

“Leader Song, long time no see. I’ve called you over because I wanted to speak about an important matter.” She pointed at the large crowd. “There’s too many people here. Zombies can easily smell a crowd. And you’re moving too slow. The situation’s not looking so great. We already saw zombies making their way over on our way here. There’s at most 30 minutes before zombies arrive here.” XunMi gave an estimated time. The zombies would actually be appearing in an hour. Shrinking the time was to give him a sense of urgency.

Song ZiQian’s face hardened. These people needed to go through inspection. If no one noticed that they were infected and they got on the truck, others would be harmed.

“How about this. Let these cars go first, let them drive themselves. The citizens sitting in the military vehicles aren’t really affected by whether or not those people are infected. Have all the inspectors come over to inspect those without cars. When one car is filled, have them drive away and wait up front. Don’t crowd them all here.” XunMi knew Song ZiQian’s difficulties so she brought up a compromise.

Song ZiQian nodded, and turned to give commands.

“If everyone was as kindhearted a you, it would be great. That way, we could avoid a lot of deaths.” Ling Chen couldn’t resist commenting. The world had changed. Humanity had changed along with it. Who was still the same? Even if they appeared good natured, their insides might have already rotted.

XunMi shook her head, her darkened eyes looking towards the direction of B city. “Kind? I just don’t want those disgusting things to be the last existence on this earth.” She really wasn’t noble. For her own motives, she could also use any methods necessary. It was a matter of being active or passive.

Ye MingYe suddenly felt his heart ache for this person. He couldn’t hold back the turmoil in his heart. He wanted to pull this person into his arms and comfort her, tell her that he will give her a peaceful world. He wanted to tell her that he will protect her and make sure that she wouldn’t be harmed. She could have a carefree life without any worries. But reason was repeatedly telling him that he couldn’t forget the lesson he learned from the past lifetime.

“That’s a pretty good notion too.” At least her conscience was still there. There were many people now that had completely lost their humanity. Ling Chen also looked up towards B city. Would it really be like the rumors? Would it really be the most safe place for humans?

If XunMi or Ye MingYe knew what Ling Chen was thinking, they definitely would shatter his dreams. If B city was the safest place, then there would truly be no safe havens on earth.

Military vehicles quickly passed by them one by one. The single filed line had also been split up into numerous lines, increasing the speed of inspection. Within half an hour, ordinary people had gotten their seat on the military vehicles.

XunMi and her group looked at each other. All that was left was the three of them. Song Zi Qian pulled up in a car and rolled down the window. “Would Miss Ming like to come with us? I’ll send you safety to B City. He had had his impression of XunMi changed after she extended her hand in helping them. He didn’t mind giving her a ride.

XunMi shook her head. Song ZiQian had a lot of people with him. If they didn’t move fast, there would be problems for them. “We’re fine. Leader Song, please be careful on your way. We’ll follow behind you guys. Don’t worry about the back. Just focus on heading forward. And don’t wait for us.” After making sure there weren’t any other people around, XunMi pulled out her car. She simultaneously responded to Song ZiQian while turning on her car.
