Chapter 152: Meeting Shuozi again

It takes them nine days to reach X City, which is a day earlier than expected. When the Hummer approaches the safe zone, a huge ruckus can be heard coming from the nearby Y City as a convoy of trucks and large vehicles make their way towards X's safe zone. There are even men in military uniforms carrying loud horns to direct groups of people to different areas outside the safe zone's gates.

"Tsk, tsk. Really noisy ah. The fact that a horde of zombies has yet to come due to the noise is a miracle," Long Zhanye sneers as he sweeps a glance over the disorderly mass before the large gates.

"They are spilling over the defensive trench dug around the safe zone too," Huo Zaiyuan observes as he leans out the car window, propping his head up with a hand. "I reckon we should depart as quickly as possible. Although we did say it would save time to have all the survivors in Y City gather in X City before moving out as one group, with such an enormous crowd, it will be hard to avoid attracting every undead here. If we are surrounded, then there's no need to hope for a way out."

"I feel the same way. Let me find the military district leader first, then we can sort this disorderly mass out and leave."

Driving the Hummer to a stop before the safe zone's gates, Long Zhanye can't help twitching in irritation at the bustle of yells and the loud hum of numerous engines running in the background.

As soon as the vehicle stops, the driver's side door opens and Long Zhanye nimbly climbs onto the roof. Unholstering his pistol, he raises the firearm towards the sky and fires.

Bang! Bang!

Two shots ring out, causing silence to ripple through the large crowd as everyone turns towards him.

Nodding in satisfaction, the imposing male standing on the roof of the car offers the mass a sharp smile. "Hn, very good. You all know how to be quiet, at least."

Pushing open the passenger's side door, Huo Zaiyuan unhurriedly steps out of the Hummer and eyes the man clad in his usual camouflage military uniform with fond exasperation. "You just love causing a scene."

"It's more effective this way ah. See, they are all quiet now." Long Zhanye leaps off the roof and lands lightly beside Huo Zaiyuan.

"Who are you?" A soldier guarding the gates place a hand on his rifle and walks forward with a tense expression.

Holstering his pistol, Long Zhanye removes a file from his coat's inner pocket and holds it out to the soldier. "I am in charge of escorting these survivors back to A City."

As soon as he says this, the surrounding survivors start to converse amongst themselves once more...

"Heavens ah, only two guards. There are more than twenty thousand people when X and Y safe zones are added together ah!"

"That's right ah. How can two people..."

"Look, one of them is even a child barely out of his mother's womb. Aren't they sending us to our deaths..."

"Correct ah, are we going to leave like this?"

Long Zhanye and Huo Zaiyuan can hear the various comments being made even if they were whispered, but neither are angered. On the contrary, a bright grin appears on Long Zhanye's face as he teases the youth by his side.

"Little Yuan, they seem to be belittling you."

Glancing at Long Zhanye, he replies blandly, "We are being belittled."

"Heheh..."

As Long Zhanye laughs lightly, the soldier finally finishes skimming through the details on the document and his expression changes abruptly. Clicking his heels together, he stands at attention and salutes.
