Apocalypse: Why did you provoke her? She's a cultivator.

Chapter 73 Departure
The notice also has an official stamp, so it can't be fake.

When the people of Lincheng found this notice, the whole city was in an uproar.

Many factions saw the notice and immediately ordered their subordinates to pack their things and head to the state capital base.

With powerful forces leading the way, a few scattered individuals also decided to follow the procession to Lincheng.

Especially those who escaped from Gangjiang City witnessed firsthand how Gangjiang City was taken over by zombies.

And what about those who didn't have time to escape, and how they were cruelly devoured by zombies?

Every time they recall those mangled limbs and the bloody, mangled scene, it sends chills down their spines.

They felt they should leave Lincheng as soon as possible, since no one knew if Lincheng would become the next Gangjiang City.

In just half a day, the number of people in Lincheng decreased by a third.

Li Hongbo and Feng Weihua quickly came up with a strategy: all the people in the city would be relocated to the state capital base.

Soon, the notification from the Lincheng military also came down.

Within two days, everyone in Lincheng left and moved to the state capital base.

The moment this notice was issued, some were happy while others were sad.

Most people are happy, but only a small number are still quite reluctant to part with their houses in the neighboring city.

The notice also urged those who wanted to leave to go first, while the military would stay behind to handle the cleanup.

After learning all the news, Fang Jun immediately went to Zhenchanglou to buy twenty-one steamed buns.

Zhenchanglou had already received Li Hongbo's order to do everything possible to steam buns.

At this moment, steamed buns were being steamed one pot after another at Zhenchanglou.

At the same time, each person is limited to buying only nine steamed buns, because the price is three black steamed buns for one crystal core.

At this time, the entire Zhenchanglou restaurant was already protected by military personnel in layers.

To prevent duplicate purchases, a dozen or so people with exceptional memory were stationed on the second floor of the Zhenchanglou restaurant to keep watch.

Most importantly, to prevent those with abundant supplies from competing with ordinary people for steamed buns, Li Hongbo deliberately mixed coarse flour, buckwheat, corn crumbs, and dark flour into the dough.

The steamed buns turned black in color and had a rough texture, making them unpalatable.

But it will fill your stomach and won't affect your health.

Seeing these steamed buns, quite a few people actually left Zhenchanglou.

Most of those who remained were ordinary people who had not awakened any special abilities.

An elderly man carving wooden hairpins, holding the hand of a child in each hand, was also in the line.

Inside his chest were the twelve crystal cores that Ye Qiumian had given him when she bought the hairpin.

With these crystal cores, he could buy a lot of black steamed buns.

For the foreseeable future, he and his children will no longer have to go hungry...

Fang Jun hurried back carrying the steamed buns. He was only able to buy them for twenty-one buns because he had previously worked as a waiter at Zhenchanglou Restaurant.

He quickly went back to the fifth floor and knocked on everyone's door.

Nan Shaohua was the first to open the door, and when he saw Fang Jun carrying a large bag of steamed buns, his eyes showed surprise.

"What are you doing? Why are you buying so many steamed buns?"

Before Fang Jun could explain, Shen Yujie came out as well.

He was also somewhat surprised, and said with a smile, "Are you planning to flee the famine?"

"What happened?" Chu Qingyang followed closely behind and came out of the house, his gaze falling on the bag of steamed buns.

He became even more certain that something had happened in Lincheng.

Could it be that Chief Li issued some kind of notice?

Just then, Fang Jun spoke up impatiently. "The authorities have sent a helicopter to drop the notice." As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper, unfolded it, and showed it to them. "Here, it's this one."

Chu Qingyang quickly took it and began to read it carefully.

Others also crowded around to look.

Fang Jun continued, "Right after this notice was issued, Chief Li immediately followed up with a notice for Lincheng, ordering all residents of the city to relocate to the state capital base within the next two days."

As he spoke, he lifted the steamed buns, still talking non-stop, "These are steamed buns made by Zhenchanglou. One crystal core equals three steamed buns, and each person is limited to nine. I managed to buy a few more because I knew someone. If you want some, I can share some with you."

Nan Shaohua looked at the dark, murky steamed buns in the bag and was about to shake his head and refuse.

Fang Jun then said, "Zhenchanglou has stopped making any other food besides steamed buns. If you don't want any, there's nothing else to eat."

The words of refusal were on the tip of Nan Shaohua's tongue, but he swallowed them back. "Then I'll take three steamed buns."

As he spoke, he took out a crystal core and gave it to him.

Currently, only Tier 1 zombie crystal cores are circulating in the market; Tier 2 cores are used for cultivation to enhance superpowers.

After all, it's easy to dig up the crystal cores of first-tier zombies, while the higher the tier of the zombie, the harder it is to kill, and the crystal cores are naturally harder to obtain.

No one was willing to part with their high-level crystal cores as trade items.

Shen Yujie also took out a crystal core and gave it to him, saying, "Give me three steamed buns too."

Fang Jun happily took out three steamed buns and gave them to Shen Yujie, then turned to Chu Qingyang and asked, "How many do you want?"

Chu Qingyang didn't want to meet Fang Jun's expectant eyes.

Actually, he still had some supplies, enough to feed himself for several days.

But he suddenly felt a little reluctant to refuse, and he said involuntarily, "I'll just take three."

"it is good."

Fang Jun gave each of them three black steamed buns, and there were twelve left in the bag.

He remembered that Sister Ye didn't have any steamed buns yet, so he went up and knocked on Ye Qiumian's door.

"I go!"

The other three were startled by Fang Jun's actions and quickly moved away from him.

This idiot just knocks on the door without even saying hello.

Is it okay to just knock on Sister Ye's door?

Haven't we learned our lesson from the past?
The three of them stared warily at Ye Qiu Mian's door, fearing that a force might suddenly be unleashed at any moment.

Unexpectedly, the door suddenly opened.

Ye Qiumian slowly walked out, raised an eyebrow at Fang Jun, and said in a light tone, "I don't need the steamed buns, you can keep them for yourself."

"Huh?" Fang Jun's bright eyes dimmed instantly.

Chu Qingyang's gentle gaze shifted to Ye Qiumian's face, "Sister Ye, Fang Jun just mentioned Lincheng..."

“I heard everything he said. He’ll have to leave sooner or later, so I’m leaving now.”

Ye Qiumian interrupted Chu Qingyang and made her decision directly.

"Sister Ye, can I come with you?" Nan Shaohua asked with a bright smile, his eyes brimming with anticipation.

The other three also stared intently at her, their eyes filled with a hint of caution, as if afraid she might refuse to travel with them.

Ye Qiu Mian glanced at them and said calmly, "Okay, let's go together."

As soon as the words were spoken, smiles instantly bloomed on the faces of the four people, as if the spring sun were melting snow and all their worries were gone.

"We'll meet up and depart in an hour," Ye Qiumian said, then went back inside.

Seeing the closed door, the four of them quickly turned around and went back to their own room to pack their things.

　Thank you so much for the generous donation, my darling! And thank you for all your votes and monthly passes. Sending you love!
