I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

At noon, several people gathered around the alcohol stove, each holding a lunch box filled with instant noodles and meat. In the cold weather, everyone felt a sense of happiness as they ate the hot meals.

While eating, Zhou Luosen kept talking to Jiang Yiyi. His main point was to tell her to be obedient in the future and never run around randomly. After all, it was too dangerous outside and there were man-eating monsters everywhere.

Faced with Zhou Luosen's nagging, Jiang Yiyi just leaned in his arms and quietly ate the food in her hand.

Looking at the well-behaved and obedient Jiang Yiyi at this moment, Qin Zhong found it funny. Although she and Zhou Luosen were not father and daughter, because of the crisis, their relationship was better than that of biological father and daughter.

Just when Qin Zhong was lost in thought, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart: "Hey, this is not right!"

Qin Zhong suddenly thought of something, his eyes fell on Jiang Yiyi again, a little dazed, he just thought of a question.

Before, he almost rushed to Jiang Yiyi together with the zombies. Although his speed was very fast, there was a distance and time difference after all. But none of the zombies close to Jiang Yiyi seemed to attack her!

Thinking of this, Qin Zhong couldn't help but look at Jiang Yiyi again. He saw her nestled in Zhou Luosen's arms with an innocent look on her face. Qin Zhong touched his chin and couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Jiang Yiyi was "invisible" in the eyes of zombies?

Well, I’ll find a chance to ask Zhou Rosen about this.

After dinner, a few people set out on the road again, making turns and bypassing the blocked roads. Although they encountered many dangerous situations along the way, at around five o'clock, the whole car still arrived safely at its destination, Nangang Wharf.

Nangang Wharf is a mixed passenger and cargo wharf. Even from a long distance away, people could see many ships docked at the wharf.

After passing through a gate, you will see countless containers neatly stacked in rows on the open space near the dock, like a natural wall blocking the entire dock behind.

Judging from the appearance, these containers are definitely not placed naturally, but are artificially placed here to form a city wall.

When we got here, we could vaguely see several people standing on the container, guarding the post with rifles in their hands. After seeing the off-road vehicle approaching, the guards pointed their guns at the off-road vehicle.

"Boom!"

Before the off-road vehicle got close, two shots suddenly hit the ground in front, splashing countless stones. Qin Zhong slammed on the brakes and stopped the car.

"Hahaha!"

Following a few dry laughs, more than a dozen men walked out from behind the container. They were dressed in various clothes and held various weapons in their hands, including rifles, hunting rifles, steel bars, and large blades. As soon as they came out, all the weapons were aimed at the off-road vehicle.

Wang Boshen, sitting in the passenger seat, frowned slightly upon seeing this scene. "These people don't look like soldiers. The ones who can control this place must be the ones who gathered here earlier. But why aren't the soldiers and armed police there?"

"Let's go and listen to what they want to do! Xiaoxuan and Yiyi stay in the car!"

As he spoke, Qin Zhong opened the car door and walked out. Wang Boshen and Zhou Luosen followed suit. As soon as they got out of the car, they gripped their weapons tightly and their expressions were far less relaxed than Qin Zhong's.

……

After Qin Zhong came down, he smiled at the man leading the group, who had just let out a dry laugh and had a small mustache on his lips, and said, "Friends, are we heading to Hengsha Island? We came here based on what was said on the radio. I heard there are government officials here."

The man with the mustache looked Qin Zhong up and down, focusing on the Type 81 in Wang Boshen's hand. He chuckled twice before saying, "Yes, that's right. From here, we can get on the boat and go to Hengsha Island..."

Having said this, he paused for a moment and then continued, "However, Pudong was indeed the government's base before. Now, it has become the territory of the four major companies! The government is just one of them!"

"Oh?"

Qin Zhong and Wang Boshen looked at each other, took out two boxes of cigarettes from their pockets and threw them directly to the little mustache. The little mustache took a look and said, "Wow, where is Greater China!"

Immediately, he stuffed the cigarette into his pocket, and looked at Qin Zhong with a bit more greed in his eyes. After all, Qin Zhong casually had two packs of Great China, which only meant that he had quite a lot in stock!

Seeing Xiao Huzi's look, Qin Zhong didn't care. He took out another half pack of Great China from his bag, lit one for himself, shared some with Wang Boshen and Zhou Luosen, and gave the remaining six or seven to Xiao Huzi.

This time, the man with a mustache did not keep it all for himself. Instead, he took out one and distributed the rest to his subordinates.

"hiss!"

After lighting it, the man with a mustache took a deep puff, feeling the smoke flowing through his chest, revealing a look of satisfaction.

After the mustache man closed his eyes slightly and enjoyed himself for a while, Qin Zhong finally spoke again and asked, "Brother, what's your name?"

The man with the mustache glanced at Qin Zhong, and seemed to realize that Qin Zhong and his men posed no threat. He waved to the people behind him, and suddenly only three or four of the dozen people were left, and the rest walked back to the container.

After arranging the people, the man with the mustache looked at Qin Zhong again and responded, "Tang Tuo, also known as Master Tang San."

"Haha, what a nice name!"

Qin Zhong smiled and said, "Third Master, what's going on here? You see, we brothers are new here too. We just felt that we couldn't survive in the Magic City anymore, so we wanted to go to the base. But I heard that the base in Pudong was breached by zombies a while ago?"

"Oh! Don't mention it!"

When this matter was mentioned, Master Tang San frowned, glanced at Qin Zhong, and said, "Speaking of this matter, I do know something about it. I'll tell you a few words and let you newcomers broaden your horizons!"

Hearing Third Master Tang's words, several people looked over. Third Master Tang's face lit up with pride as he said, "The Pudong base was indeed established by the government and is under military control. However, during the recent zombie siege, the military suffered heavy casualties and had to relinquish some of their authority. This is how the Wang, Liu, and Shi families came to rule the base together with the military."

After hearing this, Qin Zhong had a better understanding of the situation on Hengsha Island. He couldn't help but clasp his fists and said, "Thank you, Third Master, for clearing up my confusion. Now, are there any other requirements for us to go to the island?"

Tang Tuo glanced at Qin Zhong, stretched out his right hand, rubbed his thumb over his index and middle fingers, and sighed, "The world is not good now. As someone who is responsible for guarding the entrance to the island, it's a tough job!"

Qin Zhong raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Third Master, what can we do?"

Tang Tuo's eyes flashed, and he stepped forward to look at the modified off-road vehicle in front of him, patting the hood and saying, "Leave this car here."

Qin Zhong thought, "We won't need this car for the time being when we go to Hengsha Island, so it might be a good idea to leave it with him first." Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to the Third Master."
