The apocalyptic livestream attracted a lot of haters, alarming the government.

Just as Ye Xiao had predicted, Brother Chen was quietly leaning against the car smoking, clearly believing Ye Xiao's words.

He didn't even doubt the truth of Ye Xiao's words and was already considering whether to accept them.

Ye Xiao stopped there and didn't say anything more to avoid seeming too fake.

Zhou Qirui and Liang Kai, who had been standing to the side, remained silent. They glanced at each other, neither of them expecting Ye Xiao to be so adept at making up stories.

The live stream panel was quite lively at this moment; clearly, everyone was amused by Ye Xiao's witty remarks.

[Dawn's Flame: Hahaha, the streamer's ability to talk nonsense is getting better and better!]

[Milk Egg Not Bland: LOL, if I hadn't watched it from the beginning, I would have believed it too.]

[Three Foxes: Help! Someone's trying to scam us here!]

[Winter is Coming: You're such a smooth talker, even better at conning people than I am as a salesperson]

[Sheep Eats Wolf: The Streamer's Mental Fortitude is Truly Strong]

[(Host) Night Snack: If these people accept, then we can proceed according to our previous plan, and we'll also have bodyguards to protect us, plus a ride-sharing opportunity. Why not?]

[(Host) Night Snack: If these people still intend to sell us out, it's not too late to find a chance to escape halfway.]

……

The two guys who went to get the cigarettes came back, clutching them like two complete idiots.

The convoy members rushed forward, and each person received a bag.

Brother Chen turned his head and glanced at Ye Xiao, then opened the car door and threw the three backpacks outside in.

Ye Xiao and the other two hurriedly hugged their backpacks to their arms. The car door closed again, and Brother Chen gathered everyone in the convoy at the front of the car, where they discussed something.

Ye Xiao quietly reached out and pulled on the car door, but it didn't budge.

Liang Kai, sitting in the back seat, leaned forward, lightly patted Ye Xiao's arm, and whispered:

"Brother Xiao, what do we do now? They took all our weapons, not even a knife."

Ye Xiao didn't care. He glanced at his current points: 7650.

Having spent so many points before, and now gradually increasing them again, he won't have to worry about not being able to redeem weapons as long as there are gifts to reward him.

"What are you worried about? These people will not only not harm us, they will protect us."

Zhou Qirui nodded in agreement, "That's right, only intact goods have value, and ours should be considered a rare find."

Ye Xiao silently looked at the group of people in front of the car, "We have bodyguards and a ride-sharing service, so it's easier for us."

"As long as you two don't say anything out of line, we'll be fine."

Ye Xiao gave a cautious warning, and the two nodded hurriedly.

"Remember, don't give anything away. If they ask and you don't know, just say you're under strict supervision and don't know either."

Zhou Qirui and Liang Kai nodded solemnly. Although they liked to troll in the live broadcast room, they were not completely stupid.

They also knew that if people like them suddenly appeared in this world and were discovered, they would definitely suffer the consequences.

The two carefully kept Ye Xiao's warning in mind.

Not to mention, if they want to go back, they will have to rely on Ye Xiao, so naturally they wouldn't dare to disobey.

The group of people in front would glance in their direction from time to time; clearly, Brother Chen was discussing with them what Ye Xiao had mentioned.

A few minutes later, Brother Chen walked towards the car, tossed the keys to Ah Zhao, and then opened the passenger door and got in.

Then, Ah Zhao got into the driver's seat, and the burly bald man opened the car door, squeezing Zhou Qirui into the back seat.

Chen, sitting in the passenger seat, took one last drag on his cigarette, burning it down to the mouthpiece, before throwing the cigarette butt out the window.

He turned his head and looked at Ye Xiao, "Since you're going to the Gaotang base, we'll take on this mission."

"Stay close to us, or if we run into trouble, we won't hesitate to abandon you and run away."

A smile appeared in Ye Xiao's eyes, but he still put on a relieved and grateful look.

"Thank you, Brother Chen. Thank you, Brother Chen."

Brother Chen winked at Dahei, who was standing next to Ye Xiao, and Dahei tossed a bag to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao opened the tattered canvas bag and glanced inside; there were their knife and the three pistols.

Ye Xiao was secretly delighted, but still put on a puzzled expression and looked at Brother Chen.

Brother Chen waved his hand, "Since it's for self-defense, carry it with you and use it in an emergency."

Ye Xiao grinned foolishly, "Thanks, Brother Chen!"

Then, he took his knife and gun and handed the bag to Zhou Qirui and Liang Kai behind him.

The two of them finally relaxed and happily divided the food.

Seeing the three of them looking foolish, Ah Zhao in the driver's seat rolled his eyes in the rearview mirror, scoffed disdainfully, and started the car.

The car bumped and swayed as it drove off the cleared path, following the car in front, all the way into the alleyways. After wobbling through several alleyways, it finally came onto the main road from the other side.

Because the road conditions weren't great, the car wasn't going very fast, basically only around 40 km/h.

But having a car to ride in and not having to walk is enough.

Zhou Qirui wished he could just sleep in the car, since he had been running around like crazy for the past two days.

The car drove slowly along the road, away from the city. The suburban roads were not as densely covered with vegetation.

In fact, apart from being very lush, the plants on both sides did not have any of those exaggeratedly bizarre mutated plants.

Apart from the occasional abandoned car on the road, one doesn't see any signs of desolation in this world.

Ye Xiao couldn't help but ask what was on his mind, "It looks much more normal outside than in the city."

Ah Zhao, who was driving, suddenly chuckled, "Isn't that obvious? You young masters inside those high walls, have you never seen the outside world before? Did you pee your pants in fear?"

Ye Xiao pursed his lips, not responding to the other party's comment. He was only surprised and confused at the time, which was fine, but Zhou Qirui and Liang Kai were almost scared to death!

Chen couldn't resist taking out a cigarette and lighting it with a lighter.

He opened the window with its bars closed, exhaled smoke, and said:

"I heard that this parasitic virus initially spread among humans, and later gradually affected animals and plants."

"Most plants are said to be resistant to this virus, so the situation in cities is worse."

Ah Zhao suddenly cursed, "This is fucking awful! It's only been six years, and it's turned into this mess."

Just as Ye Xiao and his two companions were following this group of people, riding in a car, slowly leaving the city.

On the other side of the city, a heavily armed, wasteland-style team is venturing deep into the city center.

They selected a tall office building as their observation point.

But just as they were about to reach the top floor, they stopped.

A corpse lay on the corner staircase in front of the rooftop door. Half of the body had been eaten, and the rest was rotting and emitting a foul stench.

The rooftop door was connected to the handrail by a rope, which seemed to be blocking something.

A black object on the ground behind the door caught their attention.

A hand with a flame pattern tattooed on the back picked up the nearly new smartphone from the ground.
