AWB Chapter 121 Dongxing Road
Chapter 121 Dongxing Road
After the apocalypse, in addition to the large survivor bases established by the government, there are also many private shelters built by people who are unwilling to go there because of the long distance or who feel that they can survive independently.
Such shelters are generally small in size, and the people inside live together, fighting against the mutants and ensuring the continuation of human survival.
Over the past ten years, Miao Yin has seen many such shelters. Occasionally, when she encounters a shelter with abundant supplies, she will rob and plunder it to help her own team.
But it is very rare for someone to announce the address of their refuge on the radio like this.
In the apocalypse, without the constraints of law, the evil of human nature is amplified infinitely. Exposing one's address too much will attract a bunch of survivors, making the shelter not only unable to make ends meet, but also potentially leading to it being looted by some powerful people.
You think you're helping homeless people, but they're actually locusts sucking your blood.
Therefore, wise shelter owners rarely promote their territory; most of the time, they bring back the rescued people while out searching for supplies.
However, there are also shelters that release information directly like this, and Miao Yin has encountered them before.
She had also spent some time at the Dream City base. In order to make better use of resources and alleviate the pressure of insufficient military equipment, the authorities would often issue some missions to encourage people with superpowers to exchange for supplies by completing the missions.
Most of these missions are related to rescue and finding supplies.
They had taken on a large rescue mission. The intelligence came from a distress signal from a shelter, which said that more than seventy of them were trapped by mutants outside and hoped that they could help them.
This mission is extremely dangerous because it involves an attack by mutants, so those with special abilities will definitely be given priority.
Therefore, it was at this time that Miao Yin's team of special abilities came in handy.
They negotiated a fairly generous payment and set off for the refuge where they were trapped.
But when they got there, they discovered that the so-called siege by mutants and the depletion of food were all fake.
That shelter was a bunch of liars. They faked distress signals, killed all the rescuers, and then stole their supplies.
Not only that, these inhuman creatures, when food was scarce, even turned rescue team members into their food reserves, truly squeezing every last drop of value out of them.
Before Miao Yin and her team arrived, several rescue teams had already been affected.
However, those who commit murder will always be killed.
These people never imagined that the rescue team that came from Dream City would turn out to be a group of armed superhumans. Their robbery plan failed, and not only were they all killed by Miao Yin, but all their supplies were also looted.
This incident was unacceptable to several kind-hearted people in the Divine Command team, and they were saddened for a long time.
Since then, they have become more vigilant when they encounter similar rescue missions, fearing that their good intentions might turn them into someone else's meal.
But such incidents are rare, and there aren't many people capable of carrying out such scams. After that one incident, they never encountered such fake shelters again.
Memories of the past flashed by, and Miao Yin looked at the dilapidated radio, lost in thought.
Could it be that she's run into another one?
"If I heard correctly, the location should be No. 118 Dongxing Road," Ji Yuanzhou said.
Miao Yin took out a map of Yecheng from her spatial storage.
Before the apocalypse, she bought a lot of maps, just in case they came in handy when she escaped.
Miao Yin quickly found Dongxing Road and gestured to show its location.
This road is much more remote than other roads in the city and is not in a residential area, but it is on the same route as their way back to the ancient capital.
Miao Yin closed the map and calculated the time based on her past life's trajectory.
Yes, there's still time.
"Let's go check out this shelter."
……
Miao Yin sat in the passenger seat, enjoying the breeze, while Ji Yuanzhou became the driver next to her.
Because there were more people in the team, they split into two cars. Tu Hao, You Wenwen, and Ling are in the other car, while Yan Shuzhou is with her.
The team she assembled in this life is much more obedient than the one in her previous life. Both Tu Hao and Ji Yuanzhou have become much more well-behaved after being dealt with.
She used to make some reckless and dangerous decisions, leading the whole team through thick and thin, just for the thrill and excitement.
Because of the curse, everyone dared not speak out against it, and most of the time they followed her with resentment.
But this team is much more obedient now. Wherever she goes or what decisions she makes, even if they are confused, they will not be refuted and will silently agree. At most, they will be met with a few cold snorts from Tu Hao.
“Aren’t you surprised by my decision?” Miao Yin asked.
Her voice was flat, and her face was expressionless, as if she had just started the conversation out of boredom.
Yan Shuzhou, sitting in the back seat, said, "It's not surprising. I believe my sister must have her own reasons. What those reasons are doesn't matter."
Yan Shuzhou knew Miao Yin's abilities better than others, and he also knew how strong her control over a matter was, so he wasn't worried about being led astray.
No matter what difficulties she faces, Miao Yin always has the ability to overcome them.
This is Yan Shuzhou's trust in her.
He didn't consider himself a very smart person and might not understand many things, so he didn't want to cause trouble for others. He just needed to do what Miao Yin said and didn't need to delve into anything.
None of that matters.
Ji Yuanzhou's answer was simpler: "We haven't spent much time together, but I know you're a person of your word. Once you decide to do something, nothing can stop you, regardless of whether we're willing or not, so there's nothing to question."
Just like in the aquarium, she said she wanted him to join her team. On the surface, it seemed like an inquiry, but in reality, there was only one outcome.
It's either go in or die.
It's truly baffling that they would seek refuge in someone else's shelter when they had no shortage of food and possessed a certain level of military strength.
Ji Yuanzhou didn't know what she was thinking about, or if she was simply having a relapse.
But none of them could say it was bad, because there was only one outcome—to go to the shelter.
Those who refuse will inevitably face severe torture.
Therefore, resistance becomes completely unnecessary, and there's no need to think about whether something is strange or not; just follow along.
After listening to their words, Miao Yin said, "It seems you have found a way to coexist peacefully with me."
"After all, we're living together, so we need to find a way to get along well."
Ji Yuanzhou is neither a masochist nor a charlatan like Tu Hao. If he can live a good life, he naturally won't take any risks.
"Smart move."
Time flew by during their occasional conversations. Ji Yuanzhou stopped the car and looked ahead.
A sign that reads "Dongxing Road" is reflected in the transparent car window.
