Chapter 21 Helan Xiaoxin

The back door of Bastion 10...

The entrance to the fortress, which was originally more than ten meters long, was now crowded with people, all desperately trying to squeeze through.

Stampede incidents occur frequently...

In the face of disaster, all order vanishes, and what does "you're good, I'm good, everyone's good" even mean?

The best thing right now is to stay alive.

"Hurry up!"

"Everyone, push forward! The people in front are moving too slowly!"

A man was shoving the person in front of him frantically, cursing and shouting.

Just as the crowd was jostling, several white creatures heard the noise and rushed over from behind.

"Hurry! Hurry!"

"They're here!!!"

"Aaaaaah!! Mommy, I want to go home!!"

Li Qiye flew through the air, coldly observing this scene. In the face of disaster, the ugliness of human nature was fully revealed.

If everyone lines up in an orderly fashion to leave, it will definitely be faster.

Unfortunately, not everyone thinks that way, which leads to this situation.

"well....,.."

Shen Youchu sighed, but did not have the saintly heart to say anything about saving people.

She herself was rescued by others; how could she possibly be capable of rescuing others?

Li Qiye watched for a while, then stopped and quickly flapped his wings, flying away into the distance.

at the same time....

The army of superhumans from Shenzhen has arrived at Stronghold No. 10 to provide assistance.

Of course, Shen Youchu's home is the top priority.

Unfortunately, the rescuers only saw a monster's corpse and did not see Shen Youchu.

"Dududu..."

"Sir, the person you mentioned hasn't been found..." A blond-haired man reported to Shen Zhen.

"Okay, continue to direct the effective evacuation of the people. If necessary, extreme measures can be used!" Shen Zhen's voice came through the communicator.

"Yes!!"

After receiving the order, the blond-haired youth waved his hand and froze the entire house, preserving everything at the scene.

After doing all this, he left with his men.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Li Qiye was holding onto Shen Youchu as they flew aimlessly through the air.

He did not intend to take Shen Youchu to the forest.

The forest may be more dangerous than the city.

Of course, this danger is for Shen Youchu.

If he's alone, then he can go anywhere.

And so, the man and the crow flew for about half an hour.

Li Qiye finally spotted a convoy of scavengers parked by the roadside.

Because Shen Youchu had been suspended in the air for a long time, and because Li Qiye was moving too fast, her face was slightly pale.

Li Qiye hesitated for a moment, then flew with Shen Chuyou to a hilltop not far from the caravan.

He was afraid that if it went on any longer, Shen Youchu would just die.

"boom..."

Li Qiye gently placed Shen Youchu on the ground.

Then, after hesitating for a moment, he summoned the Dark Serpent Mech.

"What is that laboratory you mentioned?" Li Qiye asked, wearing the Dark Sui mecha.

Shen Youchu was slightly surprised by Li Qiye's actions: "This is what my father told me. The higher-ups at the Barrier have been capturing ordinary people who have awakened superpowers to help them with their research."

"And those white creatures are the people outside the barrier..."

Li Qiye was a little confused when he heard this: "I've seen the people outside the barrier, they're not monsters..."

“They are not monsters, but failed research projects,” Shen Youchu explained, her eyes red.

"Um, may I ask who your father is?"

These are things that ordinary people obviously don't get to know, and they tell their families about them without any burden.

"My grandfather was the leader of Stronghold Three, and my father..."

Shen Youchu's words were interrupted by Li Qiye because he sensed someone approaching.

"Shh, someone's coming. If anyone asks you anything, just say you escaped from the walled city, and don't tell anyone about your family background."

After saying this, Li Qiye took off his mecha and pretended to be an ordinary crow with a blank stare.

He didn't want to expose himself unless absolutely necessary; at the very least, he wanted to get Shen Youchu to a safe place...

As for why Shen Youchu was protected, the reason is quite simple.

Shen Youchu has helped him several times already; he is not a heartless person.

Most importantly, Shen Youchu is a good person...

Who's there!?

A woman's voice suddenly came from down the hillside.

Based on the distance, they are clearly from the convoy below.

Shen Youchu replied in a low voice, "Hello...."

"Why are you here all by yourself? Do you know how dangerous it is here?" The woman heard Shen Youchu's voice and ran over in small steps.

The woman was wearing heavy makeup and looked at Shen Youchu with concern.

Shen Youchu shook her head...

“Now that spiritual energy is reviving, there are demonic beasts everywhere outside the barrier. Fortunately, all the demonic beasts ran away just now, otherwise it would have been dangerous for you to stay here.”

As the woman spoke, she took Shen Youchu's arm and led her downstairs.

"Wait a minute." Shen Youchu broke free from her hand, then quickly hugged Li Qiye in her arms before walking over with her.

"Is this your pet? It looks so silly..."

The woman looked at Li Qiye with curiosity.

Li Qiye's face darkened upon hearing this, but he still pretended not to understand.

Shen Youchu shook her head: "This is my friend..."

"Oh, okay, but be careful. With the resurgence of spiritual energy, many pets have mutated and are injuring people."

Hearing Shen Youchu's words, the woman knew better than to say anything more.

While animals do mutate, it's only a small percentage, not 100%.

The woman and Shen Youchu walked and talked, and in just a few minutes they arrived at their temporary camp.

"Sister Xiaoxin, what's this...?"

A young man looked at Helan Xiaoxin and asked in confusion.

"Oh, the girl I just met, she just escaped from Wall 10."

He Lan Xiaoxin gave a brief introduction, then pulled Shen Youchu away and ignored the young man.

Li Qiye had already learned some basic information from Shen Youchu's conversation with her.

Helan Xiaoxin said she came from the Second Stronghold and was a scavenger.

Li Qiye didn't believe any of these words. The woman had no calluses on her hands and there was an extremely weak energy fluctuation emanating from her.

Everyone in the team was like that.

If all scavengers had this setup, they wouldn't be scavengers anymore; they'd be mercenaries.

Although Li Qiye had never worked as a scavenger, he had read quite a few post-apocalyptic novels.

As is well known, scavengers are generally not very strong and are mostly weak.

"Sister Xiaoxin, it seems like the people in your team aren't very welcoming to me..." Shen Youchu said in a low voice.

When she arrived at the camp, she found everyone looking at her warily.

"It's alright, what they say doesn't count." Helan Xiaoxin waved her hand. "I'll go get you some food, wait a minute..."

He Lan Xiaoxin walked out decisively.

Just as Helan Xiaoxin stepped out the door, an old man suddenly stopped her.

Then he pulled her aside: "Miss, Madam's orders..."

"Hey, I'm just helping a girl. Don't try to pressure me with my mom's name. I know what I'm supposed to do," He Lan Xiaoxin waved her hand dismissively.

"Alright, now that you're here, go get me some food. Oh, and tell the others not to keep staring at people with hostility."

“Their house has been robbed. If anyone dares to keep an eye on them, hmph…” Helan Xiaoxin gave an order and then returned to Shen Youchu’s side.

Their conversation naturally reached Li Qiye's ears without missing a single word.

With the enhancement from the Superman meteorite, his five senses have become incredibly sharp.

While my hearing isn't as superhuman as Superman Clark's, it's still easy for me to hear sounds from a distance of ten meters or so.

"Miss? Madam? This woman is clearly not simple, tsk tsk tsk..."

Li Qiye sighed inwardly, then squinted at Helan Xiaoxin.

P.S.: This is my new book, please support me! If you like it, please give it some free flowers, review votes, and monthly tickets. These are really important for a new book; data gives me more motivation to write. Thank you!

Chapter 22 The lonely old man is pretending to be cool.

He Lan Xiaoxin felt uncomfortable under Li Qiye's aggressive gaze.

"Youchu, why are you staring at me like that, you silly crow?" Helan Xiaoxin said helplessly.

"Um...maybe he's just spacing out."

Shen Youchu didn't know why Li Qiye was staring at her, so she just made up an excuse.

"Haha, okay..."

After chatting for a while, Helan Xiaoxin arranged a tent for Shen Youchu and then left.

...

On the other side...

The tenth stronghold was now completely empty.

Although the team of superhumans managed by Shen Zhen was powerful, they were still no match for those white creatures.

They had no choice but to relocate as many residents as possible.

Inside a shack...

Shen Zhen sat in the main seat, frowning and remaining silent.

He had just received news that one of his men had seen Shen Youchu being taken away by a shadowy crow.

He wasn't sure if Yin Ya harbored any ill will towards Shen Youchu.

"Sir, according to the investigation, the crow has been living in Stronghold 10."
