Chapter 449: Chapter 484 Entering City A

Mao Qiqi and her group set out the morning after their trade with Xing Taining.

Guo Yang and his associates only knew they were going out to search for supplies, not realizing that they were actually going out to sell them.

It wasn’t that they intentionally kept it from Guo Yang and the others, but rather, Lu Hao was worried they might suspect there were too many supplies in the Space, so he lied about going out to find supplies.

“You all have really had it tough.”

Guo Yang was somewhat emotional, seeing that the supplies in Su Jin’s Space were not very abundant either.

He was already considering whether to implement rationing again, but Su Jin had left him almost enough supplies to fill up his own Space.

“We might not come back so soon, so we’ll leave some supplies for the Heart Talk Branch with you for now,”

Su Jin said. Besides Guo Yang’s Space, she had also taken out a lot of food and essentials from the villa to ensure the daily life of the remaining people.

Mao Qiqi and Lian Jiyue didn’t accompany the group. For one, the family might need to use face-changing pills, which could only be consumed in the Wood Spirit Space that Lian Jiyue couldn’t enter. Secondly, Mao Zhihang and his wife Lin Tianzhen were also worried about the inappropriateness of taking Mao Qiqi north, having heard that the north had already entered deep winter, so everybody decided to let Mao Qiqi and Lian Jiyue stay at the base.

Although Mao Qiqi felt regretful, she didn’t persistently cling to the family.

Sister Xiao Jin had said, they would still need to go out once spring came, and moreover… after knowing that Lian Jiyue could drive, she started planning ideas of going out of the base together to kill zombies, considering how powerful Xiao Yue was, and she was quite powerful too.

Liang Jiuqing, stationed at the gate, watched as two armored vehicles drove off one after another, thinking the Heart Talk Team was just going on a typical mission, not knowing that they were headed for a long journey, while Su Jin threw something to Liang Jiuqing from the vehicle.

Liang Jiuqing, who had gotten used to Su Jin occasionally tossing little gadgets her way, caught it and discovered it was a fluffy hand warmer, instantly feeling a warmth filling her heart.

She wasn’t a Special Ability User, so she was also very susceptible to the cold, and she never expected that Su Jin and her team would be so considerate.

The staff nearby looked at Liang Jiuqing enviously, having heard that the people from the Heart Talk Team were very loyal to those they knew well, and it seemed to be true.

Su Jin didn’t really intend to keep throwing things to Liang Jiuqing from the vehicle each time, but rather she feared that Liang Jiuqing would decline, so this method turned out to be the most convenient.

“Speaking of which, should we get my grandparents to come out?” Lin Xiuyuan asked.

“I’ll go in and ask, but I don’t think they’ll want to come out given how cold it is outside,”

Su Jin replied and then dashed into the Space.

Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo, upon hearing they could go outside, specifically put on warm black down jackets. Although they were very cold-sensitive, they had heard that the family was going out to sell grain, so they also wanted to witness it.

The warm atmosphere inside the vehicle, brought about by Su Jin, didn’t make the elderly couple feel cold, but rather made it seem exceedingly lively.

“Why is there such a heavy fog outside?”

Lin Yunguo commented as he looked at the foggy weather outside the window.

“It’s been like this for some time now, not sure why, but it should disperse in an hour or two,”

Su Xiangzhe, who was driving, replied.

————————————————

In A City which borders S City, the fog gradually dissipated, revealing the dry, yellowed earth of the fields.

Many people didn’t understand why there was fog every day when it hadn’t rained for months, but clearly, that was no longer the main concern.

The survivors remaining in city A, apart from having to struggle against the zombies outside every day, had also recently experienced a severe famine.

The unmutated leaves and bark on either side of the road had been completely stripped by people, and even the already withered wild weeds and roots on the ground were being chopped up and made into meals by some skillful survivors.

Because now, ordinary survivors found it extremely difficult to find anything edible.

A scantily clad woman walked outside of the cold base, her gaze dull and her eyes filled with despair. The personnel behind the iron fence at the base entrance merely looked up at her briefly before no longer saying anything.

“What a pity,”

uttered another equally emaciated worker.

Indeed, after the woman walked until she was just a silhouette, several figures pounced on her, silencing her forever.

The worker sighed. Every day there were several people who walked out of the base to commit suicide, some even pairing up, claiming they were going to turn into zombies.

They said, because zombies don’t starve.

The base in city A was established within a scenic spot, fortunately, known for its stone sculptures before the apocalypse with not many plants. Even so, some plants had mutated into predatory varieties following the Red Rain, consuming quite a few people inside the base.

Thus, there weren’t many survivors left inside the city A base now, many survivors had already spontaneously organized teams to go out and make a living.

A family entering city A also realized, the desolation of this city was beyond their imagination.

After leaving city S, the entire family, except for the elders, had entered the Space and taken the Face-changing Pills.

Since Li Xiuying and Lin Yunguo had never appeared within city S’s base, everyone agreed that there was no need for the two to take the Face-changing Pills.

However, the effects of these pills greatly disappointed everyone.

What faces are these?

“Hahaha, I finally have someone to keep me company,”

Nie Qing said, laughing heartily as he looked at Lu Guanhai’s face beside him.

Su Jin was somewhat speechless too; why did the faces transformed by the Face-changing Pills look so… dull?

Being ordinary was one thing, but key were these honest-looking faces that seemed so easily bullied by others, right?

Su Jin looked at her own face in the mirror, feeling like crying without tears, her nose had flattened significantly, her eyes became smaller, and even some spots appeared on her face. Lu Hao too, now had a face indistinguishable from anyone else.

Could it be that in the age of Immortal Lu, did people generally look like this? Su Jin couldn’t help but think.

At least it made them completely unrecognizable compared to their former selves. The family inside the car recognized each other’s faces, to avoid not knowing each other once they reached the base in city A.

Not long after entering city A, their car was stopped.

A few men with full beards stood in the middle of the road, surrounded by rows of Iron Spikes as tall as half a person. Behind the Iron Spikes, there were two vehicles packed with people; it seemed there were quite a few of them.

“Lucky day, looks like big fish have come knocking,”

one of the men next to the Iron Spikes said.

They were a spontaneously formed organization, and although many were from the city A base, following these bold and daring individuals actually ensured them food to eat, so the number of people in the group had gradually grown.
