Chapter 421: Xiayuan Safety Area

"Brother Jiang, that officer was a psychic paranormal, and he wanted to pry into our team's secrets. However, his mental power was not as strong as mine. As a result, I stopped him." Ran Xiyu notified Jiang Liushi.

Jiang Liushi frowned and turned back to look at the one-eyed officer who was standing in front of the quarantine station and looking at their minibus. His eye was flashing with some strange light.

'He was a psychic paranormal? It seems that Xiayuan Island has many undiscovered talents indeed,' Jiang Liushi thought.

After all, all the psychic paranormals they had met until now either dominated an area or were very important people.

'Why would the one-eyed man's position only be that of a lowly officer in charge of the quarantine area?' Jiang Liushi wondered.

When Jiang Liushi's minibus left, Officer Qin didn't immediately check other teams, but instead, he took out a notebook and started to write.

'Shi Ying Squad: dubious background. Guarantor: Ling Feng Squad.'

'The team has six paranormals, and their captain is an ordinary person with a sniper rifle. Judging by his reaction speed, he seems like a veteran sniper, but his specific strength is unknown…'

'The other members release strong energy fluctuations. There is a woman on the team who is a powerful psychic paranormal…The team's overall strength is tentatively assessed as Level C. Inspector Qin Hong.'

After writing on the note, the one-eyed Officer gave it to an on-duty soldier next to him. "Send it to the Security Bureau."

"Yes, sir." That soldier on duty saluted and quickly ran off with a slip of paper.

…

Xiayuan Security Island was a large area with many paranormals residing there. Thus, that created a complicated situation. As a result, safety management was very strict. Any team that wanted to enter had to go through some strength evaluations. And then, the Safety Center would arrange for personnel to carry out necessary checks to prevent trouble.

After they drove into Xiayuan Security Island, Jiang Liushi was filled with a thousand regrets. It was much larger than Shenhai Island. He had never seen such a grandiose city ever since doomsday came.

The mountains, which were more than 300 meters high, were densely populated with new and neatly planned buildings. There were several massive concrete pipes from which billows of smoke were emitted. In a row of buildings above the hillside, many lights were flashing in the snowstorm. If there were not some survivors who were looking out at the windows and looked a bit mentally ill, Jiang Liushi would think he had returned back to their familiar bustling metropolis.

However, even in such a new area, the surrounding plants were still lush green. A common tree would need several people to embrace it.

Sitting in the minibus, Jiang Liushi could see clearly a well-ordered hillside, which was and full of prosperity just like modern society. However, under the hillside, there were only dilapidated buildings without light. It was an eerily silent area.

When they drove from the foot of the mountain to the road above, both sides of the road were dark with filthy shantytowns. When the safe area was under contracture, it had been impossible to consider how many people would be accommodated, so the existence of shantytowns was inevitable. Moreover, the sanitary environment in shantytowns was obviously a problem. Dirty sewage water was running around and was frozen in the snow.

Suddenly, several children rushed out of a house and stared longingly at Jiang Liushi's minibus and then stretched their hands one by one. Although the Security Island distributed food on a daily basis, it was, after all, regularly quantified, so many people could not appease their appetite. Sometimes some of the survivors would leave behind some leftover bones for them.

"Give them a bag of biscuits," Jiang Liushi said.

Nobody in Shi Ying Squad liked eating biscuits anymore, but those children became quite excited.

"Biscuits!"

"It's dry food!"

"Thank you! Thank you!" Those children made a deep bow.

Jiang Liushi remembered a story about children, but it was a pity that in this terrible post-apocalyptic environment children had it worst, as they were poor and weak.

Because they had acquired a Class B medal, some people offered to lead them. Farther away, Jiang Liushi saw a very tall white building, with several characters underneath - Affiliated Hospital of Xiayuan Medical University.

Jiang Liushi's eyes sparkled, and then his calm heart wavered. He could not help but look back at his sister, and a glint of gentleness flashed in his eyes.

After crossing a few cement roads, they finally stopped in front of a small three-story building with green lawns in front of it. Although it was covered by snow and ice, in the abnormal circumstances this lawn still looked unstoppably green.

"A very nice place to stay." Ran Xiyu smiled. Although she was very comfortable living in the minibus, it was quite a pleasant thing to live in a small building.

"You will live here. These are the keys. Everything is ready, except areas for exercising. Paranormals always visit Black Water Club to exercise," a handsome young soldier took out a bunch of keys and said to Jiang Liushi.

'Black Water Club?' Hearing that name, Jiang Liushi frowned.

"Okay, thank you." Jiang Liushi said as he received the keys.

"Oh yeah. You possess a Class B medal, so it's best to move around this are. If you enter a Class A area and they catch you, you will be punished. There are also some restricted areas which by no means should you enter. As for other areas, you can go wherever you want. And don't run around after 12P.M., unless you've received a Wilderness Order and have a special mission. The guards are patrolling at night until 05:00 in the morning. If you are caught, you will get in great trouble if you don't have a reasonable explanation," the young soldier added.

"Well, thank you," Jiang Liushi said. He didn't expect that there would be so many rules.

"Oh, did any of Shenhai Island's scientists come here recently? Do you know of any experts surnamed Su?" Jiang Liushi asked when the young soldier was about to leave. Li Yuxin was full of hope.

"Why did you ask me this question? We have related orders that anything related with scientists and high-level government official shouldn't be discussed with anyone," the young soldier answered.

Li Yunxin was about to say something, but Jiang Liushi stopped her by grasping her hand.

"Well…"

"Yuxin, don't embarrass him," Jiang Liushi said. And then, Li Yuxin nodded.

When the soldier left, Jiang Liushi found he was still clutching Li Yuxin's hand, which was smooth and tender, so he released at once. Just because of the anxiety in her heart, Li Yuxin's fingers also instinctively grasped Jiang Liushi...

"Well Yuxin, don't worry about it. Your parents and grandfather are scientists. They must have been brought here safely. I guess they are under protection. After all, scientists are the most precious assets. Believe me when I say that I will help you find them," Jiang Liushi explained.

"I believe in you. Please don't worry about me. Sister Zhuying needs you most," Li Yuxin answered.

"However, that hospital is in the Class A area. I don't care if they are going to punish me…" Jiang Liushi said and frowned. He needed time to think about this carefully.

At that moment, Zhang Hai and Sun Kun both entered the building. "Brother Jiang, what was that Wilderness Order he was talking about? If we could get one, we could run anywhere at night!" Zhang Hai asked.

Jiang Liushi's minibus was parked inside the yard. Except for Ying, all the members of Shi Ying Squad had entered the building. Throughout the small building, refrigerators and air conditioners were all readily available, and when they walked in, they felt a warm spring.

Jiang Liushi was more certain that the power system here was perfect and it should not have been destroyed because of doomsday.

"Captain, there is a spooky Peeping Tom on the other side, and he is looking at our house," Sun Kun suddenly ran from another room and said to Jiang Liushi.

Jiang Liushi frowned and followed Sun Kun to the room where Sun Kun had just been. Under Sun Kun's guidance, they passed through the window and looked at the junction between Area C and Area B. Sure enough, there was a person. He was sneaking over to the side. However, Jiang Liushi's eyesight was better than Sun Kun. He could see clearly that man was holding a pair of binoculars, and he was Little Seven from Ling Feng Squad.

"Sun Kun, follow me. Everyone else will just stay here," Jiang Liushi thought for a while and ordered.

"Okay," Sun Kun answered.

In general, Jiang Liushi would preferably call Zhang Hai, but this time, he brought Sun Kun with him. Naturally, Sun Kun felt excited.

Jiang Liushi hadn't expected that someone would come to find trouble right after they entered the building. Jiang Liushi holstered guns carefully on his body and wore a thick black coat to cover them. Suddenly, Jiang Liushi sensed a small piece of meat lying in his coat's pocket. It was Luoluo, which was sleeping. Jiang Liushi didn't pull it out as the small creature could not cause him any problems.

Little Seven was hiding behind a stone wall, and he was looking awkwardly at Area B. In such cold weather, although he was a paranormal, he was still overwhelmed by the snow and ice. He didn't have a medal to access Area B, and guards were patrolling. As a result, he didn't have any other way except waiting.

Suddenly, he felt a cold object pressed against his head. Obviously, it was a gun! A cold chill ran down through his spine when he realized what was happening.

"Don't move. Otherwise, Sun Kun will shoot you," Jiang Liushi said in a low voice.
