This supermarket area is near the high-speed train track. It belongs to the center of the business district on the edge of the 18th urban area. It is a shopping area formed to match the surrounding low-cost residential buildings. Because it is far from the city center, the housing prices are cheap. I stayed here before the end of the world.

Most of them are ordinary people with poor family conditions.

Later, when a branch force from the 18th urban area led people in the city to evacuate from the central area, they dispersed from the larger army and stopped here for a temporary rest.

After recuperating and accumulating strength, they planned to continue evacuating to a safer place to join the main force, but gray fog came.

The army sent out investigation team members several times, but without exception, those who walked into the gray fog never came back. In addition, various communication equipment failed, and they were completely trapped here.

Later, when the gray fog passed, the low-temperature ice blades appeared again, and the troops seemed to have given up and reinforced the construction on the spot, opening up the basements of several supermarkets to avoid disasters.

Probably because there is a large supermarket here, supplies are not in short supply, and there is not much follow-up contact with the headquarters. I only asked for help once when the fog just dissipated. That time, the headquarters sent a small team to transport a batch of medicines and medicines here.

Supplies to keep out the cold.

Later, this team was probably in the same situation as Cheng Fang's, trapped due to the continuous ice blades and low temperature.

The squad leader of that team had briefly stayed in the same team as Cheng Fang before. The two were not particularly close, but they knew each other.

The other party called out his name after Cheng Fang explained his identity. The reason why he dared to come directly with such confidence was also because of this.

After the two armored vehicles passed through the driveway of a green park, a clear view suddenly opened up. Supermarkets and residential buildings were in front of and on both sides of the park. The once lush woods had long become mottled and bare under the attack of several disasters.

The land here is not valuable. The supermarket is only two stories high at most, but it covers a large area. Unfortunately, the glass has been damaged by the ice blade. Through the broken glass wall, you can still see the messy and collapsed shelves inside.

, the food residues spilled on the ground were tipped over, and there seemed to be some black marks after the drinks dried up.

All the refugees were moved to the basement. The entrance was changed from the original entrance of the underground garage. The other party sent a jeep to wait for them on the ground outside the supermarket. When their armored vehicle appeared, they took them underground.

Go to the garage.

You Xi, who was in the passenger seat, looked at the green park outside the car window. After closing the window glass, he took the walkie-talkie and contacted Cheng Fang in the car in front: "Be careful."

"What happened? What did you find?"

"There is a lingering smell of blood around here. There may have been a large-scale battle."

"You mean, this place may have been taken over... but it's impossible. I talked to He Mo when we contacted him before, and there was nothing wrong with him." The He Mo mentioned by Cheng Fang was the one who led the team here before.

The team leader who delivered supplies here.

Having said that, You Xi's words still made Cheng put his guard down.

After the jeep entered the underground garage with the armored vehicle, Cheng Fang asked the team members to stand by at the machine gun in the vehicle. He equipped himself with weapons and got out of the vehicle. Then he used his skills to check the backs of the necks of the people who got off the jeep.

There is no black triangular follower mark on the back of the opponent's neck.

They are natural persons, not humans.

"Captain Cheng, we haven't seen you for a long time, you are still so alert!" A man got out of the jeep again. He was in his forties and had a strong physique. He seemed to see through Cheng Fang's intention and smiled at him.

This person is none other than He Mo.

Seeing He Mo walking towards him calmly, Cheng Fang let go of his tense and vigilant mood. He also smiled at the other party: "There is no way, you should also know the situation outside, many servants have rebelled.

When we left the mountain refuge area a few days ago, the people there also rebelled... I don’t know what the situation is there now.”

When the other party heard him mention this, his expression became solemn: "Mountain refuge area? I know a little about the situation there. They have taken in a large number of slaves without owners, and it will be a matter of time before they rebel. Let me tell you, these people have no owners.

Those who are restrained should never be taken in from the very beginning!"

You Xi happened to hear these words when he got off an armored vehicle from behind.

She frowned and looked at her surroundings.

This was the second underground floor of the supermarket. It was originally a parking area. It was a large place. Probably to save electricity, the lights were turned on very dimly. Most of the area was plunged into darkness, but this did not hinder her observation.

The conditions here are much simpler than those in mountain shelters. Large and small tents are placed in clusters along the walls and load-bearing pillars. Many tents are piled with warm clothing that the evacuees have just taken off.

Probably due to water shortages, most of them had dirty clothes and unkempt hair, and there was an unpleasant sour smell floating in the air.

There are pots and pans used for camping placed next to many tents. Probably because it is almost dinner time, many people have food cooked in the pots.

Someone was opening the lid of the pot and stirring the contents in the pot with a spoon. You Xi glanced over and saw that the soup inside was watery and he couldn't tell what it was. It didn't look like instant noodles anyway.

Xing Minmai paused before getting out of the car. You Xi knew that his five senses were sharper than hers and he should be more uncomfortable with the smell here, so he turned around and handed a mask to him, and then handed it to Xi Yuan and the other four.

Got a mask.

Compared with the people here, they are too clean and good-looking, and a bit too eye-catching, so it would be better to cover them up.

He Mo had never been in contact with Zhou Zhitong, and Xing Min was covering his face, so he naturally didn't recognize him.

Cheng Fang and his party came here to change trains. After a few simple greetings, they immediately got to the point. The other party seemed to be very enthusiastic and said that it was almost dinner time and asked them to have a good meal and rest for a night before leaving.

"Sorry, Captain He, but we still want to take a look at the car first." After all, they just passed by the ground and did not see any low-altitude flying vehicles parked nearby.

"I understand. It's okay. Then I'll take you to have a look first."

The other party seemed to want to lead Cheng Fang away alone, and You Xi spoke at this moment: "Shall we go together?"

Ho Mo and his team members, who had already turned around, turned to look at the woman standing next to an armored vehicle at the back. She was wearing a black T-shirt and army green sweatpants, her long hair was tied up, her skin was clean and fair, and she looked beautiful.

He looks very well protected.

In the eyes of people like He Mo, people like this are always family members who have no say. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the other person, then looked at Cheng Fang, as if he was still waiting for him to make a decision.

"I also own this armored vehicle. Now that I have to change the vehicle, I have to take a look, right?"

Cheng Fang has been in contact with You Xi recently and knows that she is not such a fussy person. Now she has her own reasons for saying this. He immediately said to He Mo: "I'm sorry, Captain He, this armored vehicle does not belong to me alone. She

Is it okay to go together?"

"It's okay, let's come together." He Mo smiled again.

You Xi felt the gazes gathering in the darkness around her, and without exception they all fell on the four servants behind her.

She turned around and told several people not to follow her, and at the same time, she got in the car and waited for her, remembering to lock the car door and be ready to leave at any time.

She turned around and looked at Yinyin's family of three, and asked them to get into her armored vehicle and stay with Jian Shou and the others.

Finally, she said to Xingmin, "You also stay, I'll come back as soon as I can."

As she said this, she said to him in her heart: If anything goes wrong, tell me and you can leave directly. I will take Cheng Fang to meet you at the park outside.

Under special circumstances, the way she communicates with Xingmin is completely like a bug.

[I understand, please be careful and call me if you need anything.]

Ho Mo led them up from the basement stairwell door, passed through the locked safety fire door, and soon arrived at the basement level of the supermarket. Part of this area is also a shopping area, but it is obviously much cleaner and tidier than the first floor.

There are even a lot of items stacked on the shelves, no wonder the fire door needs to be locked.

After passing the first floor, they went upstairs again and arrived at the first floor of the supermarket. This was the entrance to the supermarket's original warehouse. The warehouse had no windows and the walls had been reinforced. He Mo personally stepped forward to open the door.

After the warehouse door is opened, there is a long and narrow aisle. After reaching the end, there are two huge warehouses on the left and right sides. Four low-altitude suspension vehicles are parked in one of the warehouses. This warehouse with huge doors has direct access to the outside world.

of mobile gates.

The door is thick and tall. When opened, the low-altitude vehicle can pass through unimpeded. When closed, it can resist the attack of ice blades. This is indeed a good place to store the low-altitude vehicle.

Considering the conditions of this refuge area, these four low-altitude hover vehicles are very important assets, so it is no wonder that they are stored indoors. Cheng Fang worked carefully and even went up to check the vehicles to make sure they could be started and were not damaged.

At this point, Cheng Fang was completely relieved.

In fact, he didn't know what he was worried about. Maybe it was the end of the world with repeated disasters, maybe it was You Xi's usual cautious attitude, maybe it was the people who needed to be escorted on this trip, all of which prompted him to be vigilant.

.

Even when facing former comrades-in-arms, it is difficult to completely let down one's guard.

He knew this was not good, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Cheng Fang immediately expressed his gratitude and said that he would move his personal belongings in the armored vehicle before preparing to leave.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? We rarely see each other, so let's stay for a meal and stay one night before leaving. What's wrong, Captain Cheng, do you dislike my place here?"

Cheng Fang smiled at He Mo: "Aren't you ready to go back to the headquarters? Where is the original captain of the army here?"

"I sacrificed my life during the Ice Blade disaster to save people. It's not that I don't want to go back, but a lot of people died here at that time. Now the people below are pointing at me. How can I leave them alone?"

"Have you never thought about taking these survivors back to the headquarters? Now that the ice blade has stopped, it's relatively safe outside, so it's a good time to go on the road."

"Forget it, everyone is used to living there, and the situation will get better after going to the headquarters. There are also many employees in the headquarters. If something happens, these unarmed people will still die."

It's not easy to bear the lives of others on your own. Cheng Fang actually admires this sense of responsibility. After all, the conditions here are not even remotely different from those at the headquarters.

However, he still didn't plan to spend the night, and the other party didn't try to stay after hearing his insistence. After a while, a team member came to look for He Mo. He seemed to have other things to do. After asking several team members to assist Cheng Fang and his party, he left first.

.

Cheng Fang and You Xi returned to the second underground floor and worked with others to transfer supplies from the armored vehicle.

After several days of consumption, there were not many things in the car, and it was over after a few people got on and off.

I don't know if it's because they are foreign guests, but the refugees scattered near the tent have always focused their attention on them.

Xiyuan and the others, in particular, felt uncomfortable all over as they were stared at by countless eyes in the darkness.

"Weird, are there no people here? I feel like a giant panda." At the end, Xiyuan couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

Cheng Fang and others just happened to move the last few boxes up, and he was also stared at a little uncomfortable. He immediately said that the things had been moved, and he went to say hello to He Mo and left.
