Jiang Qingxue and Cheng Peng led a team near N City and found Yuan Long's team.
At this moment, Yuan Long's convoy was so long that it was almost impossible to see the end.
Even the armored vehicles at the front were stained with blood and traces of impact. Even though Lin An had already cleaned them up, the zombies and mutated animals that were attracted by the convoy were still endless.
There were too many of them. These zombies were brainless and wandered around the world.
There was no need to mention the mutated animals. The most common cats and dogs were fiercer than the last. All kinds of small animals that were not worth mentioning had become very ferocious.
There were even some insects that had mutated, such as the mutated hornets that Lin An had encountered in the simulation. Even without the black light, he was completely unable to withstand them.
Moreover, there were also gathering places from other places, and even small groups formed by survivors.
Through the 24-hour broadcast of public information on the radio, many survivors who were surviving alone joined the team.
The group that had suddenly expanded, especially the two small colonies that had gathered behind them, had no food or clothing.
Even when they slept, they had to find a way to squeeze into the same tent as the people from J-City.
Even so, there were still many people who did not even have a tent and had to sleep in the open.
If it wasn't for the fact that J-City had brought a lot of vehicles to increase their movement speed, and that they were robbed by a group of mutated animals along the way in S-City, they probably wouldn't have been able to arrive early.
In order to get to the gathering place as soon as possible, they had to save as much time as possible to sleep. Sometimes, they even had to rush for a few more hours in the dark.
One could imagine the state of these people.
Jiang Qingxue saw Yuan Long, who got off the car in the lead, and Qin Biao, the person in charge of the colony, whom she had met in the county city at the beginning. Her gaze could not help but narrow.
Yuan Long was still alright. Although his face and clothes were dirty and he had lost some weight, his short body was still vigorous when he walked.
Qin Biao, on the other hand, looked completely haggard. Dark circles had appeared under his eyes, his cheeks were thin, and he had a cigarette in his mouth. It was only when he saw Jiang Qingxue that he finally relaxed and smiled.
"Little Jiang, we finally meet.”Yuan Long sighed and walked forward. After saluting Jiang Qingxue, he held Cheng Peng's hand tightly.
Cheng Peng was wearing sunglasses, and his smile was no longer as low as it was a few days ago. He smiled brightly."Welcome to the Dawn Shelter. Let's go. Chief Lin has arranged a grand ceremony for you.”
"Forget about the fatigue and stress of the journey for the time being and relax. We'll work hard again tomorrow!”
Cheng Peng's gentle attitude also made Yuan Long heave a sigh of relief. Lin An had always been very friendly, but Yuan Long had been wondering how the people in Fallout Shelter 041 would treat them.
It was only when she saw Cheng Peng's performance that she was completely relieved.
Yuan Long only wanted to lead his people to live well, but he did not want to live under someone else's roof or engage in internal strife.
"Alright, then hurry up and go. I'm alright, but look at the one behind me.”
Yuan Long turned his head with a bitter smile. Cheng Peng followed his gaze and saw that many of the soldiers were now on the verge of collapsing from holding onto their guns.
"Alright, we'll talk when we get there!" Cheng Peng didn't waste any time and led the way.
The further they walked, the more they passed through N City. They first arrived at a seemingly empty wilderness. After walking for a while, they could vaguely see a road that had been cut out of a forest in the distance. It led to an unknown place.
Yuan Long was full of confidence in Lin An.
However, there were still many survivors who didn't know Lin An. They didn't even understand why they had to migrate here. As they looked at the increasingly remote scenery, their hearts turned cold.
Could it be that he had just rushed over from a dangerous journey?
Was he going to start living in the open again?
Many people's expressions darkened.
Perhaps it was because he felt safe, or perhaps it was because this difficult journey was finally coming to an end, or perhaps it was because he felt more and more hopeless about everything in front of him after arriving.
Suppressed cries could be faintly heard among the survivors.
Sadness was contagious. Soon, even Yuan Long, who was at the front, heard the sound.
"What happened?" Yuan Long asked.
Someone reported the situation.
He picked up the walkie-talkie with a dark face. What would people think if they saw you like this? They asked us to come over with good intentions, but we're crying and looking down on them?”
"Aren't we not here yet? Didn't I already say that they're well prepared? They definitely have a place to stay and food to eat. Didn't you guys do a good job of advertising?”
After he finished speaking, he smashed the walkie-talkie in his hand, but his expression was a little shaken.
On the contrary, Qin Biao chuckled a few times." Old Yuan, you may look rough, but you're really too meticulous. I trust Lin An. Didn't he say that he's prepared a welcoming banquet? I'm ready to eat.”
"The ones you specially brewed are the finer ones!" Yuan Long rolled his eyes, but he could not help but sigh.""It's difficult. I wonder how much pressure Little Lin has to bear.”
If Yuan Long was only in charge of the migration, and it was already so difficult, then how much pressure had Lin An, who had paved the way for him and prepared for him, endured?
"I didn't expect such a small county to produce someone like Lin An." Qin Biao sighed.”
At the thought of the three posthumans beside Lin An, Qin Biao couldn't help but look at Yan Shi, who was riding a motorcycle not far away, with jealousy.
The evolvers at the edge of the county town had all fled with Lin An. God knew how scared he had been these past few days.
As the team entered the forest, after the forest was cut down, it was another wilderness.
Then, everyone's eyes gradually became dull.
"Captain Cheng, is your camp this bright every night?”Yuan Long looked into the distance in disbelief.
From afar, it didn't look like a fallout shelter. Instead, it looked like a small town with lights on!
The town seemed to have a three-story building and a smooth dirt road.
The lights were brightly lit, and countless figures flashed past.
From afar, some people could even smell the fragrance of food.
For a moment, Yuan Long was in a daze. When he was young, he had gone to a village's celebration, which was also at night.
On that day, the lights were brightly lit, people were singing and dancing, and the sound of wine and the aroma of barbecued meat filled the night.
The girl's laughter and the man's bragging seemed to still be ringing in her ears.
He had only been there once, but that scene was deeply engraved in his mind.
It was such a happy and carefree day.
As he got closer, Yuan Long could even hear the sound of music inside.
This time, Qin Biao couldn't help but ask,"Aren't you afraid of attracting monsters by playing music like this and making such a big commotion?"”
Jiang Qingxue answered him with a light smile."Lin An has already cleaned up the surroundings. He's also controlling the rats nearby. There shouldn't be any problems.”
"Besides, have you forgotten his ability to predict the future?”
After Jiang Qingxue finished speaking, Qin Biao slapped his forehead and smiled bitterly.""I forgot."
How could Lin An be the same as him?
If there was really danger, he might have known about it more than ten days ago. He would not need someone to remind him now.
His ability to predict the future was really amazing! To be able to awaken such powerful abilities, how lucky was that!
No, it was better to say that this was the luck of all humans living on this land.
Without his ability to predict the future, how many people would have died!
Yuan Long came back to his senses and realized that the faint, dejected cries in the group had disappeared.
He turned his head and looked at the convoy through the window.
In order to increase the power of the vehicles, everyone had to use vehicles to move.
Almost all the large vehicles that started up--trucks, tricabs, buses
Everyone in the seemingly pieced together convoy was sticking their heads out of the car window.
They stared blankly at the distant lights.
He was like a primitive man who had seen human technology for the first time.
Everything was so novel, but it also made people suddenly have the urge to cry.
How many times did they wake up in the middle of the night because they dreamed of returning to that carefree world?
This was not just light, but also a symbol of a beautiful life, a sense of security brought by order.
As they got closer, the aroma of the food became stronger, and the music was soothing and festive. They could even hear the survivors shouting from afar.
" Welcome to the Dawn Shelter!"
The crying sounded again.
However, this time, it was no longer filled with despair.
Lin An welcomed them from the end of the road. There were many soldiers and volunteers standing beside him.
"Old Yuan, organize the group. First, distribute the residences and basic living items according to each of them. Then, we can move around freely!”
"Tonight, the curfew will be postponed to three in the morning.”
"Let's go and allocate a place to stay first. After calculating our personal information, we'll catch up!”
Lin An's voice was like the sound of nature.
Old Yuan jumped down from the car door excitedly and gave him a bear hug.
"Amazing, Lin An, you're amazing!”
Old Yuan looked at everything in front of him with his mouth agape.
It was not a three-story building at all. No, or rather, a three-story building made of this kind of tree was far more shocking than an ordinary building!
Outside each wooden house was a spiral staircase made of rattan and wooden ladders. One could clearly see the small spaces inside the open wooden houses that were illuminated by the street lights outside.
" At present, there is no electricity in these houses. There is no other way. The cables are limited, but fortunately, we found a candle factory and used the stock. There is no shortage of candles for the time being. In the future, we might consider changing to kerosene or fish oil lamps.”
Lin An introduced them to Old Yuan with a smile.""That's not even close."
"You'll be surprised today. Hurry up, everyone can't wait.”
Yuan Long turned around after Lin An finished speaking. He saw many survivors disembarking from their vehicles as well. They stood by the vehicles and looked at the street that seemed to be built from wooden houses.
Yuan Long shouted into the walkie-talkie,""Take care of your people, line up, and cooperate with them! First, they would be allocated a place to stay and basic supplies. Tonight, everyone would be able to rest well, eat their fill, and sleep in their rooms!”
As he spoke, tears actually fell."All of you, f * cking work hard. Hurry up and work hard. Have a good rest tonight! Did you hear that?"
He repeated himself with mixed feelings. He even felt that he had failed his duty. For so many days, he had done his best just to feed people.
As for the place to sleep and the management of people's mentality, he really couldn't care less.
Not to mention the survivors, even he left the car for the elderly and children to sleep in while he slept on the floor outside.
Not to mention delicious food
"Alright, don't worry. Everyone will have meat to eat tonight. I've almost caught all the mutated animals around me in the past few days.”
"This place is near the sea. There's enough fish. Don't worry about not having enough good food tonight.”
"I also made some fruits and brewed some fruit wine. I don't know how it tastes, but I haven't tried it yet.”
Lin An smiled and patted Yuan Long's shoulder. He then turned to look at Qin Biao, Gao Liancheng, Ren Shen, and even the bespectacled man he had rescued from the supermarket.
The familiar faces moved him a little. It was not easy to see each other again in the apocalypse.
Meanwhile, Lu Yao stood beside Lin An and looked at the crowd with a complicated expression.
A woman in the same combat uniform as her was standing beside Yan Shi, looking at her with the same complicated gaze.
Zheng Li looked at it for a while before looking away. She didn't say a word to Lu Yao.
At this moment, the people were led into lines and began to distribute supplies and receive room numbers. It was just a simple sign with the room number.
In fact, these wooden houses did not have locks. Everyone had to think of a way.
However, there was no need to worry about theft. This kind of thing was simply impossible. Under the high pressure of the gathering place, it was strictly forbidden to disturb the order. The original small crime became a major crime, and the major crime was directly buried.
It was a little strict and cruel, but there was nothing he could do.
Lin An looked at the crowd and was naturally sized up by them. He was still wearing a leather jacket, and the clothes inside were a black hoodie without any prints. He looked very fashionable, but he didn't look like the director of the fallout shelter.
Was it him?
The person in charge of the fallout shelter?
Lin An?
Many people looked at him with admiration and gratitude.
After they lined up to receive the supplies, they were told to put the things back at home first, and then go out on the streets to move freely according to the guidance.
As they left, many people couldn't help but express their gratitude to Lin An.
He was even crying so emotionally that he couldn't walk. He just watched Lin An cry non-stop, and he couldn't do anything about it.
There were also old people and children who wanted to kneel down to him.
In the end, Lin An had no choice but to leave and wait for them to calm down.
He brought along Old Yuan, Qin Biao, Gao Liancheng, and a few others he was familiar with, as well as a few other people in charge of the other colonies, and walked along the street.
"Inspector Lin! Roasted meat, freshly roasted, eat some now!”
Someone set up a barbecue stall by the roadside and invited Lin An to eat with a smile on his face. If Lin An didn't eat, he would be forced into Lin An's hands. Even Qin Biao and the others beside him weren't surprised.
When they walked down the street, everyone could not put down the food and drinks in their hands!
Watermelon juice, roasted meat, fried rice, fried noodles, soup noodles, stir-fried rice
Lin An didn't lack anything else, but he definitely didn't lack food.
Not only had he developed a mutated plant that could make instant flour.
He had also plundered all the towns near N City.
If he ate as much as he wanted for a day, it would definitely not affect him.
No matter how tight his life was, he still had an inexhaustible supply of fish meat and flour made from mutated plants.
There was basically no lack of food.
Meat might become dangerous due to radiation.
However, with Lin An around, all of this would eventually be resolved.
"Lin An!"
Old Yuan chewed on the meat skewer and took a sip of beer. His eyes were red.
"You are really amazing."
He couldn't imagine it.
He was walking on the streets after the apocalypse.
Even though there were a lot of people on the dirt road, it was a little dusty.
Even though he had seen many wooden houses around him, they did not seem exquisite enough.
but
Compared to the days before.
Here.
It was simply heaven!
Lin An smiled and started chatting with them.
Just as he was about to ask Lu Yao to introduce the situation to them, he turned his head and realized something.
Eh?
Where's my secretary?
Where did Lu Yao go?
