Chapter 1
Chapter 1
At the end of September, the long hot summer was finally over, and
autumn had arrived.
However, people still had a long spell of warm weather in Jiangbei Town.
The temperature stayed above 30℃ in daytime, but during the night it
suddenly dropped and made people shiver. Almost everyone was fed up
with this terrible weather.
In the south part of the town, there was a small rental house. It was a bit
noisy because of the nonstop buzzing sound coming from the air
conditioning fan. It was a room less than fifteen square meters with
attached living room and bedroom while the bathroom and kitchen were
on the other side.
Although the room was small, it still looked very tidy. The owner of the
house was a lean young man sitting on the bottom bunk of a bunk bed,
firmly staring at a TV placed not far away.
www.asianovel.com

The noon newscast of the state television was playing on the screen.
Barely a week ago, Jiang Liushi had never used this TV to watch
anything other than matches, and he certainly didn’t watch the noon
newscast.
But now Jiang Liushi was not only unprecedentedly sitting in front of the
TV, but also concentrating on the time. Today at 12:45:51, the National
Television Station would broadcast a piece of important news in the
noon newscast program.
"That's it!" Jiang Liushi suddenly stood up from the bed and glanced at
the phone for the time. It was 12:45. It was almost accurate to the
second.
"My God! It is the third time this happens…" Jiang Liushi was staring at
the TV screen, but his focus was not on the news. He already knew
everything about this news-its content and the first time media had
www.asianovel.com
4
broadcasted it.
This was not because Jiang Liushi had suddenly attained a kind of
superpower to predict the future. The fact was that a week ago, he had
suddenly found a Starseed in his brain.
At the same time, Jiang Liushi got some information from it, including
some news broadcasted from the future. One of the most important was
today's news about the discovery of giant viruses.
Once this news was confirmed, it would mean that the other information
that Jiang Liushi had acquired from the Starseed was also true. ‘A virus
outbreak and the end of the world is approaching!’
As a matter of fact, the previous news was about the absence of some
heads of state from some important activities, as well as the
cancellation of some important international meetings or trips.
This kind of news did not attract too much attention, but Jiang Liushi
knew very well that many countries had already heard about the virus
infection and were making the necessary preparations to retreat.
www.asianovel.com
5
Virus infection outbreaks were very fast, and there were no effective
means to contain them at all. Therefore, informing people would only
cause huge panic and massive riots. As a result, the public was kept in
the dark about everything, and people were living their lives normally
without noticing that some public figures had not appeared for a long
time.
This conference on the virus was the last act of kindness from high-level
managers. They did not want to see ordinary people die without knowing
why. There would be no sign of this imminent disaster until two o'clock
ten days later.
Unlike Jiang Liushi, ordinary people would not realize it by just watching
the news. Although many people used phones for browsing,
microblogging, socializing and reading the news, they actually used
them mostly for entertainment.
Jiang Liushi did not intend to post the truth about this matter. Since the
hype of the Maya prophecy, the various predictions of Armageddon on
network sites had been endless. There were plenty of 2012XXX series of
printed books as well as related movies. Everyone was already immune
to this topic.
A post by him would not cause any concern. It could only cause a kind of
harmony, because he knew this was the truth. As a result, it could make
the top managers more vigilant.
Although this possibility was minimal, Jiang Liushi still did not want to do
anything meaningless that could cause him unnecessary trouble. Plus,
www.asianovel.com
6
even Jiang himself had doubted it when he’d first heard the news. It was
not until that day that he had been entirely convinced of the authenticity
of this matter.
For starters, anyone who found out about the upcoming apocalypse
would not believe it unconditionally. Everything seemed normal, so why
would one believe that the end of the world was coming?
After confirming it, Jiang Liushi realized that he had only one week left
and needed to start preparing immediately.
First, Jiang Liushi purchased a lot of food on the Internet and other
everyday necessities. For the sake of safety, he also bought a lot of
compact high-energy food and drinking water, as well as emergency
medicine.
These things could be sent within a day or two, and Jiang could save the
procurement time. He also bought jackets, lightweight wear-resistant
shoes, disposable underwear, etc. For safety purposes, he also
purchased a dagger from a retailer in town.
Although people didn’t believe in the end of the world at all, Jiang Liushi
had already made a list in his mind, which would help him survive. It was
a detailed list of what he had to do.
www.asianovel.com

of the preparations.
Then it was time for the real highlight. The Starseed’s purpose was not
only to inform him about the coming disaster. It also gave him a self-
preservation ability amid this disaster.
Helping him finish the mechanical refitting and upgrading was the real
function of Starseed. However, Jiang Liushi needed to provide the main
design and materials of modifying. Jiang’s first thought was a vehicle. A
vehicle would be the most practical and convenient way of modification.
Among all types of vehicles, Jiang Liushi had to cross out the sedan,
because this kind of car was relatively delicate and it could not play any
role in that chaos. Doomsday posts recommended off-road vehicles as
the most suitable, but Jiang Liushi didn’t like them because of their little
internal space.
Subjectively speaking, Jiang Liushi’s first choice were huge long trucks.
They were like a kind of train on the road. The car wheels alone were
about the height of a human, but the number of these cars was very
limited, so Jiang could only dream of one.
After online searching, Jiang finally decided on two kinds of cars. One
was a container truck, and the other was a minibus. In favor of internal
space, Jiang Liushi finally decided to go with the minibus. However, Jiang
Liushi could not afford to buy an expensive minibus. After purchasing
the materials, his bank balance was reduced to less than a thousand
yuan, and the word poor was not enough to describe his current state...
www.asianovel.com
8
If he had a house to sell, Jiang Liushi would have sold it at a low price
without any hesitation. Unfortunately, he had sold his house when he
had still been in high school. At the time, his parents had just passed
away, so in order for his sister and him to survive, they’d had to sell it.
They’d lived in rental housing ever since.
Jiang Liushi withdrew almost all the money from his account to purchase
the materials. He could also earn thousands of yuan by selling his TV,
computer and other electronic appliances, but it would still not be
enough. As for robbery or theft, an ordinary student like Jiang Liushi had
less than a 20 percent chance of success. Even if he was lucky, there
was more than an 80 percent chance of him being caught.
Jiang Liushi did not intend to buy a car. He would rent a car. However,
renting a car also required a small amount of money. Jiang Liushi
already had a general idea about prices through the Internet. Even
renting a common bus would cost more than 1,000 dollars a day, and
ten days would cost about 15,000. Plus, he also needed to buy a lot of
materials and metal to complete the modification of the minibus. The
shortage of money caused him a massive headache.
The following Tuesday would be the end of the world. It was quickly
approaching. As he lay in bed, Jiang Liushi took a deep breath. He felt a
little flustered. As a student, it was impossible to keep calm when he
needed to face the upcoming challenge.
www.asianovel.com

Soon after, the message tone was heard. The chat interface appeared
along with Li Jun's reply, "Have you seen my new login device?"
Jiang just looked at his ID, which at the moment was saying "Iphone 7
online." No wonder he was online.
The Iphone 7 was just the latest cell phone launched that month. To be
specific, it had just been in the market for a few days. Its price was
rather high, so only a few people were willing to buy it. Li Jun had
unexpectedly bought one. No wonder his tone was so flamboyant.
"This phone costs about 8,000 yuan!!!" Jiang Liushi exclaimed. He could
not afford it at all. He could never buy a phone like that in his whole life.
Li Jun triumphantly replied, "You wonder how I got the first batch at such
a low price? I found a cell phone dealer that helped me buy it for an
additional 2,000 yuan!"
‘A cell phone costing 10,000 yuan!’ Jiang Liushi could not believe it. His
parents had died prematurely, so he’d had no choice but to take care of
his sister. As a result, their life had always been frugal.
However, it seemed that Li Jun had plenty of money. Jiang Liushi quickly
typed, "Do you have any plans for next Tuesday?"
"Next Tuesday? Let me think. Ah, I met a girl on WeChat and next
Tuesday I will take her to a bar. Then after drinking… you know what I
www.asianovel.com
10
want to do!"
Jiang Liushi became upset and thought for some time. Biting the bullet,
he finally said, "Next Tuesday I want to play games with you. Can we
just stay in the bedroom and not go out? We should lock the doors and
windows too."
"Well..." Jiang sighed and shook his head. He had tried his best. In fact,
even if they stayed in the dormitory and locked the doors and windows,
they still would not be able to avoid the outbreak of the virus. Actually,
everyone was already infected. Ten days later, it would ultimately
depend on their metabolism whether they would turn into a monster or
not.
Locking the doors and windows was just to make sure that those
monsters would not kill Li Jun. Obviously, Li Jun would not agree with
him, so there was no other way. Jiang said, "Li Jun, I need money
urgently. Can you return the 2,000 yuan you borrowed from me?"
www.asianovel.com
11
"Really? Wait, that girl is calling me. I have to talk to her. Hold on a
minute," Li Jun replied.
Jiang waited for a while, but there was no response from Li Jun. Jiang
shook his head and called his other roommate. "Luo Ming, can you lend
me 2,000 yuan?"
"Nothing." Jiang Liushi knew that Luo Ming was a big fan of games.
Although his family was fairly well off, due to his habit of spending
everything on games, he was always short on money.
"Luo Ming, listen to me carefully. Next Tuesday you should stay in the
dormitory and play games. Shut the doors and windows and don’t go
out!"
"Just do it!" Jiang hang up the phone. He had tried, but it was to no avail.
Li Jun could not return the money he owed him, and it was even harder
to borrow money.

Chapter 2
Jiang Liushi checked his phone over and over, and suddenly saw the icon
of a foxy guy. An idea popped into his head.
The foxy man had shiny hair and was wearing a pair of sunglasses. He
was called Ma Hao. He was very well-known in school, not because of his
talents, but his strong connections. No wonder Jiang and Ma were QQ
friends.
Ma Hao and Jiang Liushi were two different people. Jiang was a simple
man, who was not very social. Except his classmates, very few people
knew him.
Jiang vaguely remembered that he had heard from Li Jun that Ma Hao
had a friend who gave loans to students. In order to borrow money,
some girls went as far as to give him indecent photos.
www.asianovel.com
14
If they did not pay him back, then their private information and pictures
were released to the public, sent to their classmates, or even to their
families.
Jiang Liushi had been speechless when he’d heard this. He could not
understand why some girls would go that far just to satisfy their vanity.
Ma Hao often took girls’ indecent photos from his friends and sent them
to the student’s group "to share". Many classmates would then comment
on them. Of course, Jiang Liushi did not feel sympathy for those girls.
Originally, Jiang Liushi had felt that he could never associate with them,
but now he believed it was an excellent opportunity.
"Ma Hao, can your friend lend me some money?" Jiang got straight to
the point.
Ma Hao soon replied, "No problem, just send me your student ID."
Jiang sent a photo of his student card right away. Ma Hao confirmed and
asked, "How much do you want to borrow?"
www.asianovel.com
15
"What do you want to do? You don’t need that money for an abortion,
right?" Ma Hao asked.
"It’s for something important. Don’t ask, just tell me the conditions,"
Jiang said.
"En…Well, give me your student card as well as your home address. You
should also write me an IOU for 25,000 yuan. Meanwhile, record a video
of the IOU, reading the above content willingly. When you pay me back, I
will destroy it in front of you."
"Okay," Jiang Liushi said in a low voice. The interest of this loan was
unfairly high, and Jiang knew that his so-called friend would get a share
in this.
www.asianovel.com
16
Jiang Liushi sneered inside. What interest? What threat? Would I have
time to care about Ma Hao while the end of the world is approaching?
"It’s for something big. You will know about it in a week," Jiang
mysteriously said.
Jiang Liushi’s matters were not important to him. Ma Hao was relieved,
because he knew that no student dared not pay back the money they
owed him.
After getting the money, Jiang Liushi immediately rushed to the car-
rental company.
There was a small number of minibuses, so it was hard to get one. Jiang
www.asianovel.com
17
had asked all car-rental companies he had found on the Internet, and
only one had a minibus available. The car-rental company urged him to
go as soon as possible because they could only reserve the minibus for
two hours or so. Jiang Liushi hurried and arrived an hour ahead. Seeing
the sign of the store, he felt relieved.
The company was not large and had a simple layout. Behind the
reception desk was a lively, sweet girl with a ponytail.
The girl was dressed in a very simple uniform, which made her look
clean and elegant. She must have been 18 or 19 years old. When he
arrived, she was talking with another client in a suit. She gave him a
sweet smile, indicating that he had to wait. Seeing this vivacious girl,
Jiang Liushi was stunned for a moment. She was very young to be
working in a place like this.
This car-rental company was not far from the university. It was cost
effective to hire a sweet girl as a receptionist, and it could also boost the
business.
www.asianovel.com
18
She was the one who had approved that online order. However, the
minibus had been rented by her boss, and she felt really embarrassed.
She was just an employee though; how could she influence her boss's
decision?
"I’m really sorry. You have to wait and re-book. In a few days, another
minibus will be available. By that time, the client will also have returned
the minibus," Wen Xiaotian said regrettably.
Jiang Liushi was stunned for a moment. How could he wait for such a
long time? This car was the only one. He could not think of any other
way. He suddenly asked, "Has he paid yet?"
"Not yet, but he is about to sign the contract," Wen Xiaotian replied with
a puzzled expression; she did not know why he had asked this.
The client in the suit glanced at Jiang with a faint smile. He could see
www.asianovel.com
19
Jiang Luishi’s anxious face, but he had been a minute too late.
"Oh, so he hasn’t paid yet. Then tell your boss I will add an additional
200 a day for two weeks. There will be no abrasions, because I will use it
in the city," Jiang Liushi said.
Wen Xiaotian was perplexed for a moment. She just stood there
wondering what to do; it was the first time she had to deal with
something like that.
"I will add 300 yuan!" Seeing Wen Xiaotian not replying, Jiang increased
the price again.
Wen Xiaotian was hesitant. It was a big amount, and Jiang Liushi looked
very anxious. "Sir, I have to ask my boss," she replied.
The other client just sat there silently with an unreadable expression. He
thought that Jiang was the scion of a wealthy family.
"You can rent it to him," the man in the suit said. He knew the boss
would immediately agree, so there was no need to ask.
"I’m so sorry. You have to wait until this weekend, but then I will provide
you a new one. You see, this client seems to need it urgently..." Wen
Xiaotian quickly apologized.
www.asianovel.com
20
Jiang Liushi looked like a 20 year-old student, so the other client could
not help but ask, "Young man, why do you want to rent it for so long?"
Jiang Liushi did not care what others thought about him, especially as
the end of the world was approaching.
This car would be getting a lot more than just a few scratches in the
future…
"We need to keep your ID card," Wen Xiaotian said with smile.
Swish!
www.asianovel.com
21
Jiang Liushi had long been ready to give his ID card and take the car
keys.
Just as he was two steps away from the door, Jiang went back and said,
"Can you help me find a driver?"
www.asianovel.com

Chapter 3
Chapter 3
Sitting in the minibus, Jiang Liushi called his younger sister… Although
he knew that this call would not matter, just like a stone dropped into
the sea.
Before the Starseed popped up in his brain, his younger sister had gone
to the mountains for investigating; the reception on the mountains was
bad.
To make things worse, his younger sister was still on the mountains
while the end of the world was approaching.
But fortunately Jiang Liushi knew, through the Starseed, that both he
and his younger sister would not be infected by the virus. His younger
sister would finish the investigation in two days, which made Jiang Liushi
very happy. He and his younger sister kept each other alive in the past
years. If Jiang Liushi couldn’t contact her, he would go crazy.
www.asianovel.com
23
Just as he expected, her cell phone was off. Jiang Liushi sent a text
message to her; telling her to contact him immediately after seeing it.
Jiang would ensure that his phone would be switched on and in service
24/7. He believed that his younger sister would call him back
immediately because he sounded so anxious.
"Sir, is it okay if we stop here?" The driver drove Jiang Liushi home,
looking around curiously. This area was considered the oldest
community of Jiangbei Town. The houses were extremely old, from the
90’s, and each household had kind of the oldest canopies and anti-theft
bars.
[This is the place where the rich second generation lives? It is quite
unexpected! Is it to gain life experience!?] But this was none of the
driver’s business. When Jiang Liushi signed, the driver handed him the
keys and left.
Sitting in the minibus, Jiang Liushi exhaled deeply. He was busy with all
kinds of preparations. Although at this point everything was ready, he
was not at peace at all and felt terrible. Waves of panic broke out,
running through his body.
Sitting for five or six minutes, Jiang Liushi finally calmed down. That
reaction was extremely normal considering that end of the world was
approaching.
www.asianovel.com
24
Jiang knew that Starseed was scanning the minibus. His heart was
permeated by a mystical feeling. He felt like he was in a VR game.
Although he couldn’t afford a VR device when it had first appeared on
the market, he still had gained a better experience.
After the whole minibus was scanned, all its information appeared in his
mind.
To sum it up, this was a very common minibus. Jiang estimated that it
had been retired after traveling and was bought by the rental company.
As a matter of fact, such a car would have a lot of small problems; that’s
a rip-off.
But Jiang Liushi didn’t mind at all because it was the most cost-effective
way. He only spent a little more than 10,000 yuan. After the first
refitting, this minibus would be initially adaptable to the approaching
end of the world.
www.asianovel.com
25
This list of materials was completely beyond his current budget. The
materials needed almost were beyond his imagination probably because
he chose a more complex type. He didn’t know whether the rest of his
money as well as the money he was going to gain after selling his assets
were going to be enough.
Jiang Liushi took out his phone. When he opened it, he found two missed
calls. He hadn’t heard his phone ringing, and he didn’t recognize the
phone number at all...
www.asianovel.com
26
"Hello. Is this Jiang Liushi?" It was a girl with a sweet, soft voice.
"Yes, I am. You called me. Is something the matter?" Jiang Liushi asked.
Jiang Liushi didn’t expect it at all. He thought that this was a business-
related call. Either it was from the car rental company or a customer
service representative. He had never expected to receive a call from Li
Yuxin. Although he didn’t spend much time on the phone with girls, he
didn’t have trouble speaking with her. He was just wondering why she
called him. As a matter of fact, they had been desk-mates in senior high
school.
Li Yuxin was an excellent student, but she was not good at math.
However, Jiang Liushi was good at math and as a result Li Yuxin was
always asking Jiang Liushi to explain math problems.
www.asianovel.com
27
Li Yuxin was always absorbed in class, so she couldn’t notice that her
hair occasionally touched Jiang’s hands. Unfortunately, his parents had
been in an accident, so he hadn’t gone to school for a month. When he
returned to school, he had turned into a different person. He had
become extremely shy and introverted, and he began sitting at the back
of the classroom by himself. Although Li Yuxin had looked from time to
time in his direction, she had tried several times to talk to him but she
hadn’t been able to.
Finally, Jiang Liushi had finally gotten over his parents’ death. Although
they studied at the same university now, the two of them had drifted
apart. However, Jiang Liushi still cherished the beautiful heartthrob.
Hearing Li Yuxin’s voice again, Jiang felt a surge in his heart; her voice
was like a soft breeze.
"Really... It has been a long time," Jiang could not help but sigh.
"Yes, we haven’t talked with each other for a long time," Li Yuxin
answered.
"I heard that you were short on money. I am not close with Li Jun, but I
happened to hear about it," Li Yuxin said.
"He invited my friend to go out with him for dinner. But he was always
www.asianovel.com
28
watching his phone. As a result, my friend asked him why. He said you
asked him to borrow money. I thought you may be in a trouble, so asked
him for your phone number..." Li Yuxin answered frankly.
"Li Jun..." Jiang Liushi was speechless. Li Jun hadn’t even paid his money
back, but he had discussed his private matters with others. What he
really needed to learn was how to act in public!
After listening, Li Yuxin was infuriated: "I know you are not that kind of
person. He also said that you were as bold as brass. I will quickly tell my
friend so that she stays away from him. Well, did you really need
money?"
"Your Alipay number is your phone number, right? I will transfer you a
sum of money. You can pay me back when you are better off. We are
friends, don’t worry. When we were in senior high school, you patiently
helped me with math problems every day, even at your spare time.
However, I never really thanked you." Li Yuxin laughed.
www.asianovel.com
29
"You are welcome. That’s what friends are for, right?" Li Yuxin chuckled.
Her laughter sounded like wind chimes.
"Of course." Putting down the phone, Jiang Liushi felt very warm.
It was unexpected that Li Yuxin had helped him and she had not asked
him why he needed to borrow money from the beginning to the end.
Jiang was moved by her words. Although Li Yuxin’s family was rich, she
usually led a thrifty life. The 20,000 yuan must have been her own
money. But when she heard that he had difficulties, she immediately
took the initiative to call, several times...
Jiang Liushi could not help but laugh, he was moved and happy, "Don’t
worry. I didn’t call to give your money back."
"Oh..." Li Yuxin felt relieved and quickly said, "You do not need to thank
me. Without your help, how could I have been admitted to Jiangbei
University…"
www.asianovel.com
30
"It's no big deal." Jiang Liushi had embarrassingly touched his head and
then coughed, and then said very seriously, "Please give me your
address."
"Do not worry, just tell me. I will not do anything bad." Jiang Liushi
deliberately joked.
"Wait. I will write it down." Jiang Liushi turned on his hands-free, and
then recorded her home address on a memo.
"Really? Did you write it down? I am a little nervous. Will you really
come? But if you come to visit, I will be very happy." Li Yuxin said.
Actually, she was a little embarrassed. And Jiang Liushi knew that his
request was too abrupt, but he had no choice. Although it was a bit
abrupt, that was necessary.
"Yu Xin, next Tuesday, you must stay at home with your parents. You
shouldn’t go anywhere. The best option is if you stay in different rooms
and once that happens just lock yourselves inside. I will come for you.
There’s a very important reason! This is a life-and-death matter!" Jiang
Liushi said in a serious and firm tone.
www.asianovel.com
31
Jiang Liushi realized that if he told Li Yuxin the truth, she wouldn’t
believe him, and neither would her parents. If he said that it was a life-
and-death situation, her parents might think he was crazy.
"Jiang Liushi, are you in some kind of trouble? Did you borrow from loan
sharks and can’t repay them?" Li Yuxin asked nervously.
"No, but it’s really important! You must believe me! This thing is very
important, please!"Jiang Liushi said.
He had borrowed money, but it did not matter… He did not worry about
it at all.
"This..."
www.asianovel.com
32
Hanging up the phone, Jiang Liushi exhaled. He had tried, but he did not
know what would happen to Li Yuxin. But at least she should stay at
home. She was a very kind girl. Only God knew whether Li Yuxin would
survive or not. Hopefully, God would not let such a good girl die in this
catastrophe. And as long as she was alive, Jiang Liushi believed that he
could find her.

With the money lent by Li Yuxin, Jiang Liushi immediately began making
purchases. Some things could not be bought on the Internet, so he went
to the market to buy certain materials. The rarest ones couldn’t be found
in the market so he had to go to an auto parts factory to buy them.
At first, the boss refused to sell pre-owned ones. Jiang Liushi added 500
yuan to get them, gnashing his teeth. Before leaving, he shook his head
as he saw the boss rubbing his fingers carefully while counting the
money. It was obvious that the boss just wanted to sell at a higher price.
Although he was very happy for the 500 yuan, a week later, he would
find out that money would mean nothing.
It took him three days to get all the materials, and the whole minibus
was filled with them. When the last pieces of materials were put in, Jiang
Liushi was relieved. He had finally caught up.
He ran around for three days, and he had almost walked through the
www.asianovel.com
34
whole Jiangbei Town. Probably because it was the first refit, the
materials needed were involved in every aspect.
Meanwhile Jiang Liushi was also watching the news and keeping up with
the developments of Jiangbei Town. He found that less and less leaders
appeared in the news just like he’d expected. Although things seemed
normal, he could feel a kind of danger simmering below the surface.
"Begin!"
Jiang Liushi closed all the curtains, and then sat down on the driver's
seat. Breathing steadily, he put his hands on the steering wheel.
Suddenly, the structure of the minibus was clearly reflected in his mind.
It felt like he had a new pair of special eyes helping him scan the
minibus. Wherever he laid his eyes, the data and the condition of that
part of the minibus would immediately appear.
The refitting of this minibus needed 72 hours. It could not travel until the
refitting was complete. Jiang Liushi felt that the steering wheel had
suddenly obtained a strange power and started shaking spontaneously.

The refitting would take a long time and Jiang Liushi could not stay in the
car all the time. He was only curious to sit in the driver's seat for a while.
He got up from the driver’s seat and realized that the materials had
actually disappeared from the car. After that, he left the car to see if any
other changes were taking place. As everything else seemed normal he
returned back home.
Just by opening the door, Jiang could see all kinds of supplies. They had
been sent within three days. The courier had given Jiang Liushi a strange
look as he was delivering his things. But Jiang Liushi did not care at all. It
was impossible to think of the real use of them. Jiang Liushi did not go to
the university, as learning was useless when the end of world was
approaching.
Now that the minibus was being refitted, Jiang Liushi kept calling his
sister, and he searched on the Internet about common knowledge which
included field survival, simple first-aid knowledge, medicine knowledge
as well as the surrounding terrain, how to read maps and so on.
Jiang Liushi also specifically downloaded the national map to his PC. It
made sure the map could be used even without network. It almost
marked all the points, from small shops to a variety of manufacturers,
from the national road to some rural roads. They were extremely clear.
For the map, he also spent 100 yuan because the free map wasn’t
detailed. He had spent almost all his money, but the preparations were
basically completed.

"Hey!"
"Hi brother, what’s wrong? Why are you so anxious? I just got off. This
time’s investigation was very stimulating. We went to a village, which
had the custom of..."
Hearing the seriousness of her brother’s voice, Jiang Zhuying felt that
her brother should have some important matters, so she immediately
stopped, and softly saying, "Brother, speak."
Jiang Liushi calmed down because he didn’t want to panic his younger
sister. He asked, "Xiao Ying, where are you now?"
www.asianovel.com
37
"You do not need to return to the dormitory. Book a flight home right
away!" Jiang Liushi said.
"Well, brother, just wait a minute." After a while, she said, "Brother,
there are no tickets."
"What about tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? You should come back
no matter how much money you have to spend," Jiang Liushi said.
Jiang Zhuying didn’t understand why only one day could make a
difference, but she did not ask. "Train! What if I buy a train ticket?" she
asked.
www.asianovel.com
38
Jiang Liushi tapped the keyboard and calmly said: "No train tickets are
available."The train tickets for the next three days had also been sold
out.
"Brother, hang on. I will go to the bus station to ask. Maybe I could even
rent a car," Jiang Zhuying said.
Firstly, they did not know about the situation on the road. Secondly,
even if the road was normal, Jiang Zhuying needed more than two days
to come back. And all the trains and planes would be paralyzed. It was
likely to encounter traffic jam on the road; Jiang Zhuying would die in
that case.
Jiang Zhuying felt that her brother’s voice seemed to be very strange; it
made her feel a little nervous.
"Don’t go back to your dormitory. You need to find a place without too
many people. It should have good security and be elusive. Then you
should buy as much drinking water as possible, some drugs, daily
necessities and food! You should make sure the phone is fully charged.
Next, charge all your power banks, although we do not know whether
www.asianovel.com

phones can be used or not... Remember lock the door and do not go out,
just wait for me!"

Jiang Liushi had to change his plan because his sister could not return.
He had intended to drive the refitted minibus, filled with the supplies he
had purchased, accompanied by his sister, Li Yuxin, and her parents to a
holiday resort a hundred miles away from Jiangbei Town.
He had been there once. There were a few residents around the place. It
was in a beautiful area and most importantly it had all kinds of
necessary facilities. He believed they could live there for a while and
think a way to survive. Although he knew the end of the world was
approaching, he had no idea what was gonna happen. According to
different circumstances, they needed time to make other plans. Anyway,
the minibus was a convenient and safe way of moving around.
However, that plan would never be realized. Jiang Liushi was now unable
to leave for the suburbs and to make things worse he had to go to
Nanjing City, which had a vast population. He didn’t know what he would
come across on the road. As a result, Jiang Liushi urged Jiang Zhuying to
buy necessary supplies and wait for him.
www.asianovel.com
41
If the minibus did not need three days to finish refitting, he would have
already left. However, without the minibus, he was just an ordinary
college student, who couldn’t fight his way out at all.
At that night, Jiang Zhuying sent her location information to Jiang Liushi.
She had rent an apartment in an alley, next to her school, which was
located on the sixth floor. She also had taken a picture and sent it to
Jiang Liushi. Two rooms had been filled with supplies, enough for her to
live on a whole month.
"Brother, you can rest assured about everything." Jiang Zhuying sent a
message with a big smiley face.
Jiang Liushi had informed his sister about the end of the world, but he
didn’t mention anything about the Starseed. It was not that he didn’t
trust her, it was just too complex to explain.
However, his sister believed him and was quite calm about it. She was
not just in the mood to take pictures, but also send emoticon.
Jiang Liushi knew that his sister had to be really nervous but it didn’t
matter as long as she obediently did as he told.
"Well, as of today, do not go out and lock the doors and windows. Except
from me, do not answer or open to anyone!" No matter what, law and
morality did not matter during doomsday. Although what he wrote back
sounded unreasonable, it had to be said.
www.asianovel.com
42
There were too many scenarios in those doomsday movies; like killing a
person for a packet of biscuits. After all, life is for the living. In fact, Jiang
Liushi was not cold-blooded. If he could ensure their own security and it
was within the minivan capacity, he would help others too. However, as
he was unable to protect Jiang Zhuying directly, at least he would do
everything possible about her safety; it was in no way going to be an
adventure.
As long as he knew that Jiang Zhuying was safe, he would pull out all the
stops to reach Nanjing City as soon as possible.
However, ordinary people had not paid too much attention in those
things. They were still following their daily routine; going to work from
nine to five, picking up their children from school, buying food, etc...
"Buddy, are you alright? Did you elope with your girlfriend with borrowed
money? You haven’t gone to school! You are in trouble!" Luo Ming asked
in his message.
"Don’t forget, do not go out on Tuesday! You should stay in the bedroom
and lock the door! Just play with your games," Jiang Liushi said once
www.asianovel.com
43
Jiang Liushi took a deep breath before replying, "Yes, that is tomorrow…"
Jiang Liushi found it really difficult to fall asleep that night. Before going
to bed, he had first hired two people to help him move all the supplies
next to the minibus, and then he sent a message, with instructions, to all
his friends about tomorrow. He specifically gave extra instructions to Li
Yuxin and Jiang Zhuying. And then, sitting on the supplies, he
unconsciously fell asleep; occasionally fidgeting.
Di-Di-Di
Jiang Liushi was not awakened by the ringtone of his alarm, but because
of a strange sound in his mind.
Jiang Liushi stood up, and quickly ran to the door of minibus. From the
outside, the minibus did not seem any different, but when he grabbed
the handle, information about the minibus suddenly appeared in his
mind. A little current passed through his hands, then hearing a click
sound, the door opened. This door had gained a security model which
could only be opened by him.
Getting on the minibus, his eyes lit up and mouth slightly opened, in an
‘O’ shape, what he saw truly shocked him. The internal structure of the
minibus had been completely changed in a totally different style. The
originally neatly packed seats, now had become two seats just like a
sofa. Next to the seats was a table, shelves and so on. The body of the
minibus had been divided into several parts with some advanced sliding
doors. As Jiang Liushi looked around, he noticed that there were a
www.asianovel.com
44
Jiang Liushi was trying to digest all the changes of the minivan, after
gathering his wits he quickly ran to the driver’s compartment, which had
changed a lot too. It was in a separate space, it had a big screen on the
display board and next to the steering wheel, there had been added a
variety of buttons and joysticks. Jiang Liushi sat in the very soft driving
seat, holding the steering wheel. Suddenly, the whole car was clearly
visible in his mind. Simultaneously, the buttons and the joysticks around
the dashboard lit up.
Refitting information:
Space configuration: bedroom X1, kitchen X1, bathroom X1, small living
room X1.
Weapon equipment: Compressed Air Gun, primary, with air flow rate of
810m / s, volume of 500L.
Jiang Liushi was extremely excited and satisfied with the result of
refitting. However, this was only the general version; with limited
www.asianovel.com
45
Upon seeing the minibus's internal space, the two men were very
surprised and started reevaluating Jiang Liushi. At first, they thought
that Jiang Liushi could be a petty dealer, who lived in a small rental
house, stocking so much food and daily necessities. They never
expected… This young man to actually be driving a motor home! But
they were hostile towards the rich and looked down on Jiang Liushi. As
for Jiang Liushi, he was too busy to care about their reaction, constantly
looking the time and watching his surroundings. After everything was
placed in the minibus, he immediately got on it, the doors and windows
were completely closed, and then he nervously sat down on the driver's
seat.

Chapter 6
Chapter 6: Doomsday
Translator: Liu Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave
Jiang Liushi neither knew the specific time the world was about to end,
nor the consequences of the virus outbreak. What he knew was that the
virus had been revived, since it was found in the frozen layer. The virus
was more dangerous than all the viruses of the world added together; its
extensive infectivity was already spreading to the world and after the
incubation period it would outbreak like a series of bomb blasts.
"Hey, I am coming. You must stay at home. Just wait!" He was worried
that Li Yuxin would not follow his instructions; it would be extremely bad
if any changes were to occur.
Hearing that, Jiang Liushi’s heart sank, "Leave? Where to? Li Yuxin,
please believe me. You have to stay at home and lock the door..."Jiang
Liushi said hurriedly.
"I’m sorry. Jiang Liushi, you should listen carefully to what I’m about to
www.asianovel.com
47
say," Li Yuxin didn’t listen at all and interrupted him. It seemed that she
had something serious to say.
"You may feel incredible, but the end of the world is coming. I just learnt
about it today. The car is waiting outside, so I must leave. First, make
sure of your own safety, and then go to the North high-speed entrance.
The army is there, when you reach them, they should take you to the
Shenhai Island!" Li Yuxin said hastily in a low voice.
"Remember. You must reach the high-speed entrance today. The troops
there will protect the people evacuating ..."
Suddenly, loud voices could be heard from the other end of the phone. Li
Yuxin had no other choice and hurriedly said, "Jiang Liushi, believe me. I
am not kidding!"
Li Yuxin had already hung up the phone. Jiang Liushi held the phone next
to his ear till the dial tone stopped. Suddenly, the air around seemed to
have been frozen. Obviously the evacuation had already begun, but no
one knew about Shenhai Island...
Jiang Liushi really thankful to Li Yuxin because she told him the truth.
She was a very kind and amiable girl. It wasn’t just a family feeling or
being nice to each other. But... Even if Li Yuxin was taken away, she was
not really safe. Jiang Liushi knew that the virus had already spread and
the scientists would suddenly find out about its existence after the
outbreak.
The invasion period of this super virus was not long. In this very short
period of time, scientists spent a lot of time from studying to deducing
the result. As for the top of the human race, knowing that the end of the
world was approaching, they had less time to deploy. In that case, they
could not save all mankind, so the only thing that could be done was to
save the elite. The establishment of "Safe Island" all over the world
www.asianovel.com
48
Even the scientists did not dare to believe the results of their findings.
As a result, the majority of the governments around the world did not
dare taking extreme measures, it was the least bit of humanity they
could show. But once the cruelty of the end combined with the terrible
super virus, then they would turn to bloody tactics. During the call
between Jiang Liushi and Li Yuxin, the two porters were smoking
squatting not too far away. They glanced up in time to see Jiang Liushi
and talked about something.
The two porters were talking happily. It was like their dreams had come
true. They were daydreaming about the scenery during the day and
having fun with beautiful girls at night. There’s food in the kitchen and
they could even bathe with a partner. There were a lot of things to see in
the world !But suddenly, one porter seemed like he was about to have a
syncope, on his face emerged a burst of abnormal flushing, and he
almost fell.
"Oh, buddy, are you ok?" The other porter caught him and helped regain
his balance.
"It's all right," the man said pushing the hands of the other, quickly
recovering, "I’m okay. I have a strong physique, you know," The porter
said, clapping his strong chest.
"Ha ha ha! You must have masturb*ted last night and had a maggot in
your head. It must have been a kidney-deficiency expression!" They
entertained each other by making spicy jokes.
www.asianovel.com
49
Not far away, Jiang Liushi was silently watching them. He couldn’t laugh
at all, instead he felt a chill running through his spine. He knew that this
syncope was just a prelude of the outbreak of the virus. He was afraid it
had only been less than an hour! The porter was still chatting with the
other. Jiang Liushi sitting in the minibus looked at them with a cold gaze;
he could not do anything. He couldn’t kill the porter, even if he did, it
would cause problems and put himself in great danger. Even the
government could not do anything, let alone Jiang Liushi. One or two
hours later, the world was bound to face a catastrophe.
The two porters didn’t notice anything and kept smoking under the
shade. Jiang Liushi looked at the time, it was 12:20 p.m., and kept
waiting in silence. Before the virus outbreak, everyone would have a
strong immune response, including Jiang, because they were all infected
with the virus. After that response some people would be able to resist
the virus, but the others would turn into a monster.
Time passed. Jiang Liushi clenched the steering wheel, while his palm
was slowly sweating. He frequently looked at the time; 14:00 p.m.…
14:30 p.m.... 14:40 p.m....
Slowly, perhaps because he was too focused, Jiang thought the pointer
on the clock had started disappearing. However, the disappearing
became more and more serious, even the clock became several clocks.
Bang!
He felt a strong pain on his forehead, he had hit his head on the steering
wheel heavily, simultaneously, he could feel a splitting headache.
It finally happened; the super virus broke out. Jiang Liushi knew that he
would eventually overcome it, but even so, just the pain almost made
him faint.
www.asianovel.com
50
There were slight differences in how everyone was affected. But without
exception, everyone had a very painful experience, especially to those
who could not overcome the virus infection; they felt an excruciating
pain! A lot of people screamed, the sound seemed to come directly from
their lungs. It wasn’t a sound humans could make, but it sounded like
roar of a beast!
"Pang!Pang!Pang!"
Cars were exploding here and there, and dense black smoke started
covering the sky. In the city, in all kinds of factories, frequent accidents
happened because people had instantly convulsions and loss of
consciousness. Fires spread on after the other...
He was immersed in this illusion for some time, but in the end he
regained his consciousness. As he suddenly opened his eyes, he noticed
that his hair and clothes had been soaked in sweat, and was still holding
tightly the steering wheel. His fingers felt like he had grabbed pins and
needles, due to excessive force. He felt very tired and that his body was
about to collapse. He was breathing heavily and his heart sank as he
looked out of the window; the weather had changed...
www.asianovel.com
51
Jiang Liushi knew with certainty… The f*cking end of the world had
finally come. From that day on, he would be driving the minibus in order
to survive...
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Liushi ignited the engine of the minibus and
departed!

The Starseed had merged with the Mobile Construction Vehicle. As long
as Jiang Liushi focused on something, everything related to the MCV
would immediately appear in his mind. For example, when he set his
sights on the dashboard, the use of every button and instructions on
how to operate its weapons immediately appeared in his mind.
Frankly, Jiang Liushi was not a good driver. He had driven the minibus
only once, so basically he just relied on his own understanding about
driving. He wanted to take driver tests in order to improve, but it was
too expensive for him. Actually, he could drive a small car easily, but the
difficulty of driving a minibus could not be compared.
The Starseed, except its basic abilities, could also give tips and warnings
to Jiang Liushi while he was driving. Depending on the help provided by
www.asianovel.com
53
the Starseed, Jiang Liushi, who was dizzy and sleepy, slowly drove the
minibus to open space. There was nothing except the grayish sky and
Jiang Liushi could barely see the road. He felt like he was driving through
an invisible path, with a light headache. He squinted his eyes a little, and
drove slowly, as he was trying his best to find the correct direction. As
he was about to drive the minibus to the main road, a large black
shadow suddenly rushed out from the side and hit the driver’s door.
Jiang Liushi was shocked. He turned around and saw a face tightly
attached to the window while its hands were desperately scratching the
window and the door. Half of his face, mouth and teeth were all bloody.
What shocked Jiang Liushi most was the familiarity of this face; it was
the porter who had the syncope first! Despite Jiang Liushi being
psychologically prepared, watching a person changing into such a
monster, it still chilled him to the bone; even his scalp tingled with that
scene.
To make things worse, the porter was different from the slowly moving
zombies from the movies. He suddenly jumped and with quick actions,
he was scratching the door. It was clear that his strength was great.
With bloodshot eyes, he was staring at Jiang Liushi and screaming at
him. It may be the noise made by the monster porter that let Jiang find
other shadows in the dense fog. Jiang Liushi suddenly recovered from
the horror and immediately stepped on the accelerator; the inertia threw
the porter off and the MCV rushed to the road.
Seeing the situation on the road, Jiang Liushi became deathly pale;
screams could be heard everywhere, people fleeing for their lives and
zombies chasing people.
Not long after Jiang had driven the MCV on the road, a person ran toward
his side shouting "Help! Help m-" Before he could finish his sentence he
www.asianovel.com
54
On top of everything else, the zombies had found Jiang Liushi, and they
suddenly rushed toward the minibus. Jiang Liushi immediately sped up,
knocked them off and continued driving forward. However, the
congestion made things extremely difficult. He had no choice but to
make a way out relying on the strength of the minibus.
Many zombies had been attracted by the minibus; they had tried rushing
forward but Jiang had gotten rid of them via acceleration and swerving.
The power of these zombies was astonishing, even those who were just
children, women, or the elderly. Eventually, after the attacks of too
many zombies, Jiang Liushi felt that his minibus was shaking a bit; it
really shocked him. There had been some zombies rushing from the
front, but had been knocked down by Jiang Liushi. Jiang did not turn back
to see, crushing some zombies was nothing. As an ordinary person, Jiang
Liushi didn’t want to face such a bloody scene.
"Shenbei Entrance..." Seeing the tragic situation along the way, Jiang
Liushi wanted to know how Li Yuxin was doing. He had to go and check
www.asianovel.com
55
As one got closer to the Shenbei entrance, they could see more living
people. Most people were driving cars, which caused congestion. There
was no need to honk in such a traffic jam, but some people kept driving
up from the back and inserting themselves into the traffic stream. Soon,
Jiang Liushi was totally blocked. A car squeezed in from the side and
rolled down its window, the driver cursing him manically, "F*ck you and
your big car!" Then the car cut in front of Jiang Liushi.
Those people not only desperately squeezed forward, but also cursed at
him. Jiang Liushi got infuriated, "What makes you think that you can cut
in line?" He wanted them know that to be line jumpers required
capabilities!

But the man was in good luck, that minibus could squeeze easily. Its
speed was not fast, and it was an old broken minibus. But it did not stick
in the middle of the road; it would be fatal to be stuck at the moment.
Suddenly, there was a scream from the rear. Jiang Liushi opened the
rear-view camera and hundreds of zombies appeared on the screen.
They were passing through the middle of the vehicles, and even from
the top of the vehicles.
Those zombies were covered with blood and rushing out at a fast speed
from another end of the street, with low screams. Their speed was
extremely fast, if they met any vehicles, they would directly climb on
www.asianovel.com
58
them. Some people were closer to them, while others just looked dazed
and had been shocked by the zombies.
Jiang Liushi saw two people running together. One of them heard the
screams coming closer; suddenly his face changed and pushed the other
person on the ground. The other person screamed, but it was too late for
him to stand up. A lot of zombies had already surrounded him. Jiang
Liushi felt his scalp tingling. It was a massacre! These zombies are much
stronger compared with ordinary people; be it in speed, strength, or
sensitivity.
"Hurry up!"
Just then the cars started speeding up in order to avoid the zombies.
Seeing the zombies getting closer, their fear took over.
www.asianovel.com
59
The two girls looked scared, they must have sought help from other
vehicles before, but none of them had stopped. The zombies were
approaching, and only that car was near them, so they begged.
They were just two girls and with no doubt they would not survive
against those zombies at all. If they could not enter the car, they would
be shredded to pieces by zombies, within two or three minutes. Jiang
Liushi looking at this scene believed that if the car slowed down and
opened the door, the two girls would be saved. However, the car did not
slow down, instead it accelerated. The two girls could only try their best
to run, "Dear driver, please just open the door, please!"
The door was locked, and they simply could not open it…
Soon after the driver turned his face angrily and cursed, "F*ck, let me
go!"
One of the girls suddenly sped up; reaching his driving window she
tapped it and said, "Please! I beg you! Open the door!"
"F*ck, go away!" The driver was really angry. Suddenly he turned the
steering wheel, causing the girl to fall on the ground. The girl uttered a
scream and fell heavily on the ground.
The other girl hurried to help her up and asked, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Liushi was looking at the whole thing from the minibus and
www.asianovel.com
60
The two girls looked familiar... Slightly hesitating for a moment, Jiang
Liushi suddenly turned the steering wheel and changed his direction.
With Starseed’s calculations and data processing, Jiang Liushi was able
to change direction flexibly, and hurried driving toward the two girls.

61
counter-current line. As a matter of fact, the two girls had admitted that
their misfortune was predetermined by God. They were bound to be
devoured by zombies sooner or later.
The two girls looked at the incoming zombies and could not help but cry.
Their hands were tightly held together, waiting for their imminent death.
However, they saw a minibus driving toward them; the minibus was very
eye-catching for driving against the traffic.
"Squeak--!"
A sharp friction sound, as well as the surging wind made the two girls to
open their eyes at once. The minibus rushed and stopped just before
them, and then the door opened!
Jiang Liushi, sitting on the driver's seat waved his hand and anxiously
said, "Be quick!"
More than a dozen zombies had noticed them and crazily rushed over.
The girl, that had fallen earlier, was the first to act and quickly pulled her
companion, "Come on!"
www.asianovel.com
62
Just as they stepped in the car, the zombies had jumped to land on the
minibus.
"Bang!"
Zombies were heavily slammed on the door. The two girls fell on the
steps of the door… As they turned around they were met with the grim
faces, of the zombies, scrambling on the glass; screaming and grinning,
the zombies were scratching and tapping on the glass.
The two girls were still suffering from the shock, while their hearts were
thumping so fast that they almost leaped out of their throat.

"We are saved!" The two girls felt like they were in a dream, in which
they were living on the margins of survival. Who would have thought
that when they were about to die, a car would suddenly rush to save
them.
The girl who had fallen was panting heavily. She kept her hands on the
handrails and said, "Thank you ... thank... you! Thank you very much!"
"If not for you, we’d certainly be dead," The girl slowly said, while she
was trying to catch her breath, and then she turned to see their savior.
The girl had not seen the driver's appearance at first, but when she did
she was shocked.
www.asianovel.com
64
"You..."
"We meet again. What a small world!" Jiang Liushi smiled lightly and
looked at them. This girl was the receptionist of the car company, Wen
Xiaotian.
"Xiao Tian, Do you know each other?" The other girl asked with a
pleasant smile.
Wen Xiaotian looked at Jiang Liushi, and a figure suddenly flashed in her
mind. She just remembered and said, "Ah! You are the client who rent
the minibus! Mr. Jiang!"
When she first interacted with Jiang Liushi, she felt like he had a
domineering aura. He had rent a minibus, but didn’t have driver’s
license and the reason he wanted to rent it was just because he wanted
to do it. All that left a deep impression to her, so she would naturally
recognize Jiang Liushi.
However, she did not expect that Jiang Liushi would remember her
name, not only that but he also rushed back to save her and her friend;
it was quite a big risk.
"I have a good memory," Jiang Liushi said. Although he didn’t have a
photographic memory, he could remember almost everyone after
www.asianovel.com
65
"Thank you for remembering!" Wen Xiaotian was very touched, even if it
was because of his good memory, he came back to save them.
"But I thought you could not drive..." Wen Xiaotian then stopped holding
the handrail and stood up, pulling her friend.
Seeing the inside of the minibus, Wen Xiaotian was stunned. The other
girl exclaimed out loud, "My God!"
"What’s the brand of this luxury motor home?" The girl was shocked; the
exquisite decoration of this car was comparable with a five-star hotel.
"It’s what you think. It is the minibus which Miss Wen rented me." Jiang
Liushi answered, without turning.
The girl looked at Wen Xiaotian at once, but she also had a shocked
expression. "Your company had such a luxury car?" The girl asked as she
remembered that it was just a small car rental company.
Wen Xiaotian was also stunned, "Not at all. Mr. Jiang did rent from us,
but what he rented was an ordinary minibus..." She paused with her
mouth wide open as she recalled that the car which came to their aid
was indeed a humble minibus. It was like the rented one; it was
unbelievable!
www.asianovel.com
66
While Wen Xiaotian was feeling incredible, suddenly a loud "bang" could
be heard, and the minibus was shaking a bit. The girls quickly turned
around and looked toward the window, a chill ran through their spine.
There were a lot of zombies outside the door, and even more kept
coming. Although they were away from the window, they could only
imagine the terrifying amount of zombies that was right outside. They
had completely blocked the door, dense bloody palms and hideous faces
were everywhere. With their constant squeezing and beating, the door
kept shaking and issued crunchy sounds.
"These monsters, they will rush in..." That girl's lip was trembling.
Wen Xiaotian's face was blanched with fear; she quickly went in the
front and asked, "Mr. Jiang, please hurry and drive."
She found that Jiang Liushi was operating with a grim face. Although he
was constantly stepping on the accelerator, the speed of the minibus
was very slow because the front was packed with zombies. In a few
seconds, the minibus was completely surrounded by zombies.
Wen Xiaotian felt guilty and apologetically said, "Mr. Jiang, if you didn’t
save us..."

"You should find a place to get a hold of quickly!" Jiang Liushi interrupted
her; he had expected this outcome. Wen Xiaotian nodded and followed
Jiang’s instructions.
"Shao Lili, grab the handrail quickly!" Wen Xiaotian told the girl.
"The glass cannot hold for long..." Shao Lili was completely desperate.
Wen Xiaotian had to force her to clutch the handrail.
The door constantly issued crunchy sounds. Wen Xiaotian was clutching
the handrail while looking at the zombies outside. The constant beating
was affecting the whole car, "bang bang" sounds were coming from
everywhere as well as the zombie’s screaming; all of these made them
feel like the minibus would be broken at any moment.
Meanwhile, Jiang Liushi was analyzing several ways to escape with the
help of the Starseed. In addition to the defense function, the minibus
had several other functions. Relying on those, Jiang Liushi dared to turn
back and save the girls.
"Well, then I will try this function." Jiang Liushi made a decision.
"Hold tightly! We have to rush out!" Jiang Liushi said. Wen Xiaotian and
Shao Lili dare not to speak, seeing the zombies gathering like black-ants
and crazily hitting the windows.

The whole minibus was covered with zombies. If viewed from the
outside, it was estimated that only the vague outline of the minibus
could be seen through the corpses. And these zombies not only were
numerous, but also powerful. With the squeezing of so many zombies,
the minibus was like blockaded!
In that case, how could they successfully escape this predicament? Wen
Xiaotian was deathly pale. She and Shao Lili desperately grabbed the
handrail. The extreme fear made her feel as time had slowed down.
[We will die. Jiang Liushi is in this predicament because of us. He will
also be killed by zombies!?]
Wen Xiaotian felt extremely guilty. However, sitting in the driver's seat,
Jiang Liushi had focused all his attention on the Starseed.
The MCV could burst out with the maximum instantaneous power of
1500 horsepower. And the maximum torque could reach 4000 Newton
meter as 4 × 4 all-wheel drive mode. Of course, this state could not be
maintained for a long time; otherwise the fuel consumption would be
very scary. Usually, the power of a truck reaching more than 500
horsepower was already the top of heavy trucks, and if it reached 700
horsepower, it would be the hero of trucks. With such power, escaping
from the zombies, it like an ordinary car crashing a bunch of ice cream
buckets.

While the MCV was accumulating power, the driver knocked by Jiang
Liushi had witnessed the whole scene earlier; he took pleasure in Jiang
Liushi’s misfortune.
The driver cursed and believed he was fortunate that he was not in his
shoes. He also remembered Jiang Liushi had hit his car’s front. As a
result, when he witnessed him being buried under the zombies, he
sinisterly smiled. In the face of disaster and imminent death, the driver’s
mind was on the verge of breaking down. The only thing he could think
was to quickly reach the highway entrance and gain the army’s
protection.
Everything was within his grasp. He wanted to brush all obstacles aside
and move forward at any cost. Suddenly, a huge sound burst out and
scared him; it was the roar of the engine, as well as the friction sound
produced by the sharp turn of tires on the ground. The driver was
shocked, he quickly looked back and was scared silly. He watched the
surrounded minibus, by dozens of zombies, suddenly rushing like a crazy
prehistoric beast away from the zombies! Many zombies were hit and
sent flying by the strong impact. While others were crushed, splashing
www.asianovel.com
71
The minibus sped up, even Jiang couldn’t control it, and in less than a
few seconds it had caught up with the other driver!
The crazy acceleration had affected the minibus. Although the two girls
were holding the handrail tightly, they were still be hurled to the floor by
the force. They were screaming before falling to the floor, but
fortunately it was covered with a thick soft carpet, so they had not been
injured.
The minibus was like a rabid pit bull. Wen Xiaotian and Shao Lili were
rolling on the carpet, and simply could not stand up; they could only see
that the zombies had been thrown off.
The minibus was dismantling the corpses of zombies like they were
made from paper. If one looked closely they could see chunks of flesh
being stuck on the minibus’ wheels, and a trail of blood and minced
meat behind the minibus.
"Crackling!"
The zombies in front of the bus were like a winged insect on the
highway; they were killed directly by the windshield! And it was not a
few, more than a dozen zombies died that way!
Wen Xiaotian and Shao Lili, who had fallen on the carpet, had yet to
recover when they heard a horrible sound. They turned to look at Jiang’s
side and they were terrified. A lot of zombies were heavily hitting the
windshield, the fragile windshield was likely to be broken, while the road
was almost blocked.
www.asianovel.com
72
Jiang Liushi did not pay any attention to these. He focused in front, while
Starseed’s data were constantly changing.
[The left side of the MCV was hit. No damage. The right side of the MCV
was hit. No damage...The windshield was hit...The energy
consumption...The remaining gasoline...]
These zombies were frightening, but in fact, other than the scene being
nauseating, there was no damage to the MCV at all, even the windshield
was intact.
"It remained intact!" Both girls cried out loud. The windshield, actually
had not broken and the doors were still tightly closed.
Wen Xiaotian carefully stood up and looked out through the window
stained with blood. Some zombies were still chasing them, but they were
ten meters away from them. Other zombies were biting on the ground,
and probably these voracious zombies were working together to strip
the carcasses of dead zombies. These zombies were a variation of
people, but they were different from the ones in films and television.
Wen Xiaotian just glanced and did not want to keep watching. She
wanted to make sure that they had escaped the encirclement. It was
unexpected that the minibus was so strong and durable, even the
windows were so firm.
After a while, Wen Xiaotian looked the bloody windshield and curiously
asked, "Mr. Jiang, how can this window be so strong?"
"Uh..." Jiang Liushi originally did not want to explain, but now he decided
make an excuse.
www.asianovel.com
73
bulletproof window was not enough help them escape from the tight
encirclement. Jiang Liushi had also used the "collision", and
"accelerated" functions. If those were not enough then he would have to
use "weapons", but it was not needed.
"Bulletproof!" Shao Lili was surprised because she believed this was
could only be seen in movies! A bulletproof car, in daily life, was not
common at all. Shao Lili had some knowledge about vehicles. She knew
that although some advanced brands provided bullet-proof cars, it
needed to be customized at a sky-high price. And why would bulletproof
windows be put in such an old minibus? Shao Lili felt it was hard to
understand, so she looked at Wen Xiaotian.
Wen Xiaotian shook her head showing that she was not familiar with
Jiang Liushi. Even if Shao Lili wanted her to explain, what she knew was
not much more than Shao Lili.
"That’s ok. You should find a place to sit down and fasten your seat
belt," Jiang Liushi said.
"Yes, thank you." The two girls once again felt grateful.
"Nothing." Jiang Liushi said lightly. In fact, this was really nothing for
him. It was the least he could do.

Shao Lili did not want to see any zombies, so she went to the living room
and sat on the sofa. The soft sofa made her feel very comfortable. She
touched the surface of the sofa and thought it should be expensive
because of the cashmere fabrics.
There was also a small screen opposite the sofa. Next to the screen was
a fixed clothes closet, above which was the delicate tray with clean
mineral water, cups, and some healthy snacks.
The carpet made people feel relaxed, it was like stepping on cotton. The
curtains were closed, so she could not see the situation outside. She felt
secure. They faced death countless times but they still survived. Death
was lurking around every corner, but she was sitting in such a safe and
comfortable environment… Shao Lili felt the previous terrible experience
was like a dream, or more precisely a nightmare.
She looked around for a moment and was dazed at the luxury internal
facilities of the minibus. She was not sure how much that must have
cost. Shao Lili was extremely curious about Jiang Liushi.
She picked up the mineral water, in order to drink some, but she put it
back to its original place. This was not her car. She felt embarrassed
www.asianovel.com
75
drinking water without permission. Like Wen Xiaotian, Shao Lili was also
a college student, they were good friends. When the disaster happened,
they were together and fled together.
Fortunately, they met Jiang Liushi, or else they would already be in the
mouth of some zombie. Wen Xiaotian hesitated for a moment, and then
walked into the cab sitting on the right side. Once she sat on that seat,
she felt extremely comfortable, it was like soft cotton. This surprised
Wen Xiaotian once again. But the situation in front was not comfortable
at all.
This scene left Wen Xiaotian pale in fright. Jiang Liushi did not stop and
kept moving forward. A few zombies gazed at the minibus and tried to
catch up with it, but they didn’t succeed
Meanwhile, the freeway entrance could be seen. The original toll station
had been completely turned into a military post. Military trucks blocked
the front, only exposing three channels, and trucks covered with
machine guns, aiming the approaching cars. Heavily armed soldiers
were holding guns in front of the entrance.
There was a big amount of muzzles in the buildings on both sides of the
road as well as on the docked trucks. Driving here was temporarily safe.
Whenever zombies were spotted they were killed as soon as they
approached the vicinity. Many people had been waiting and looking in
the soldier’s direction nervously.
Jiang Liushi could see the whole process. As vehicles were approaching
the entrance, the soldiers would immediately check, so that the vehicles
could proceed. Each car check lasted about ten seconds and within
those ten seconds only three cars could pass. Jiang Liushi roughly
www.asianovel.com
76
Jiang Liushi and Wen Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief. The idea of being
sheltered by the army made him relax a bit.
"Bang bang!"
The army's fire was very fierce. Although the zombies fighting together
had almost filled the street, they still could not advance further. Looking
at the countless army trucks, which could frighten them even at
peaceful times, they felt a great sense of security. Jiang Liushi had been
calmly waiting, when a sudden gunfire was shot not far away from their
position; it was so close and shocked them. He saw the car, which was
being checked, and two soldiers pulling the corpse of the man they had
just killed. The body had a bloody wound between its brows and his arm,
and the crying of a woman could be heard; she was probably his
girlfriend or wife.
"I will repeat again. Every car carrying bitten passengers has two
options: Do not approach or simply turn back! Once found, they’ll be
executed the spot! This type of virus is highly infectious. Once someone
is bitten, he or she turn into a monster and harm other people!" An
officer holding a microphone solemnly said.
Seeing this, most people were frightened, but what had happened to the
man was nothing, considering the safety of everyone else. There were
many people that had witnessed their loved ones or friends changing
into a zombie, some were even eaten by the loved ones. That incident
www.asianovel.com
77
did not affect the moving cars, but not long after, a dense burst of
gunfire was released. The soldiers had solemn expressions on their
faces.
www.asianovel.com
78
Chapter 12
Chapter 12
Obviously, the fire points along the side of the road couldn’t last for a
long time, and soon the zombies would rush there. There was not much
time left...
The survivors, were very clear about this, had anxious looks, and felt
every passing minute as if it were half an hour.
Finally it was Jiang Liushi’s turn to pass. The soldier came to his bus and
was shocked. "You’re driving this to escape?" The soldier said with a
puzzled look. Driving this luxury car, with its extravagant interior
decoration, accompanied by two beautiful girls, Jiang Liushi was
disdained, as a rich second generation, by the soldier.
www.asianovel.com
79
Jiang Liushi touched his nose but did not speak, it was extremely
amazing to be regarded as the rich second generation. Passing through
the window of the toll station, Jiang Liushi noticed that the glass had
been broken and was filled with blood. Traces of torn cloth could be seen
hanging, but there was no body there. The virus had broken out around
the world like crazy, and in the blink of an eye, the normal world had
turned into hell.
The freeway was full of heavily armed soldiers, guarding both sides of
the road. From time to time, a few gunshots could be heard, and
zombies were killed. Jiang Liushi was driving smoothly, reaching the
traffic up front. The traffic moved forward for a while, but then suddenly
stopped
Although they were under the protection of the army, they still felt
nervous. Jiang Liushi noticed that some people in the front were
abandoning their vehicles, while several soldiers were shouting at them.
Soon those soldiers were moving between the stopped vehicles and
helped people abandon them.
As soon as they left, two forklifts would push the cars to the roadside,
and then directly push down from the highway. Jiang Liushi was
shocked, he had a very bad feeling.
A soldier approached the minibus and shouted, "In front of the highway,
a bus lost control and overturned. There are a lot of zombies gathered
on the road. This problem is being addressed urgently, but the zombies
www.asianovel.com
80
will soon catch up. If you all drive the vehicle, the road will be blocked. It
means we have no way to move forward. So, everyone must abandon
their vehicles! "
"Women, children and the elderly can go and take shelter in the army
trucks. Young men have to walk! Do not have any funny ideas. We are
all the same!"
"From this point till Shenhai Island, we will escort you all the way.
Anyone must immediately get off, hurry up! After we reach Shenhai
Island you will have enough time to rest! There are water and food, even
a secure environment! Everybody get off! "
Those who heard the news left their vehicles. Most of the survivors
drove a car with one or two families and no luggage.
Hearing that Shenhai Island was doing well, those people could not wait
but abandon their cars. Soon the surrounding vehicles were all empty,
leaving Jiang Liushi’s minibus still parked there.
Wen Xiaotian hesitated and looked at Jiang Liushi, who was still sitting in
the driver's seat motionless, and said, "Mr. Jiang, hurry up."
Jiang shook his head and said, "I won’t leave the minibus. You should
hurry up!"
www.asianovel.com
81
"You won’t?" Shao Lili found it strange. He wasn’t going to follow the
army? That was impossible.
"Yes… The army will accompany you to a secure place, the Shenhai
Island, but I want to go in the direction of Nanjing City," Jiang Liushi said.
He could not abandon the minibus. He knew that the MCV was his
guarantee of survival and he would not give it up. Originally, he intended
to bring those girls to the army and then move towards Nanjing City. But
now the road was blocked, Jiang Liushi had to find another way to reach
his destination.
"To Nanjing City... The highway cannot be used..." Shao Lili was
astonished. The army was there; as long as they followed they would
reach the safe environment. However, Jiang Liushi wanted to go to
Nanjing City.
"I beg you, think it again. It will be very dangerous. You should follow the
army to that safe island," Shao Lili hastily said…
"I can drive along the highway, or find other ways. There is always a
way," Jiang Liushi said.
"But..."
www.asianovel.com
82
"It does not matter. You can follow the army to the island. You will be
safe. Look after yourselves," Jiang said and shook his head. Seeing Jiang
Liushi so determined, Shao Lili had other way to try and persuade him.
The soldier was moving toward the minibus shouting loudly.
Shao Lili was embarrassed to look Jiang Liushi and then said, "That...I will
go then. Thank you Mr. Jiang for saving my life. Be careful and I hope we
will meet again."
But what she did not expect was that Wen Xiaotian shook her head and
said, "I won’t go either".
Wen Xiaotian looked at Shao Lili and said, "Lili, my home is on the way
to Nanjing City. If there was no way to go, then I would go to the secure
island, but since Mr. Jiang wants to head to Nanjing City, then I would
like to go that way too".
Wen Xiaotian felt a little sad and said, "No matter, if my family is dead or
alive, I want to know".
www.asianovel.com
83
Wen Xiaotian then turned to Jiang Liushi and said, "Mr. Jiang, can you
take me with you? Although I cannot be very helpful, I can provide some
information about the road. My father used to run this line for
transporting. I grew up following him a lot of times, and there are
several roads. Mr. Jiang..."
Hearing the request of Wen Xiaotian, Jiang Liushi thought and nodded
without any hesitation. He was not familiar with the road, it was good
that there was someone who could help.
"Mr. Jiang, thank you!" Wen Xiaotian gratefully said. Then she hugged
Shao Lili and said, "Lili, you can go alone… Take care of yourself."
Tears started flowing from Shao Lili’s eyes; she did not know the
situation of her parents. But her hometown was far, so she could not go.
And to make things worse, she had no choice but to escape without her
good friend...
"Get off quickly!" The soldier urged loudly while heavily knocking the
window.

Chapter 13
Shao Lili reluctantly got off the minibus. The soldiers focused their
attention on Jiang Liushi and Wen Xiaotian, who were still in the minibus.
Jiang Liushi had been firmly sitting in the driver's seat, so a soldier
suddenly roared, "Get off immediately! You can’t stop on the road.
You’re blocking it!"
The soldier stopped because Jiang Liushi had shown a good attitude. But
then he said, "Well, you should drive to the side of the road. It will be
convenient for us to push it."
Then the soldier went to the side, while staring at the minibus, and
whispered, "Such a big car! Who knows whether it can be pushed down
or not?"
www.asianovel.com
85
"Do not panic!" the soldier said, "This was the last warning, which
reminded to any survivors from the city to come here."
Bang! Bang!
The gunfire sounds were extremely close and very dense. From afar, a
crowd could be vaguely seen; they were zombies. In that case, even if
the survivors had heard the alarm, it was impossible to pass through the
sea of corpses and come to the freeway...
Then the soldier looked at the minibus casually urging, "There is not
much time left. Quickly! ..."
Woo -!
www.asianovel.com
86
The minibus was at the edge of the freeway, but it still had not stopped.
Its front was about to hit the fence!
Bang!
The minibus hit the fence directly rushing out of the freeway! It rushed
down along the three meters steep slope until it reached the bottom.
"What did he do..."The soldier quickly ran over to see the situation,
many survivors did the same and stretched their necks to look.
That person's car was too old, but nonetheless he had actually left the
freeway. No one knew if he was injured or not. But as long as there was
no injury it was still a good thing, because it solved the problem of
pushing the car. However, the minibus suddenly shook and staggered
like drunkards, but after that it continued moving and was driven to a
narrow rural road.
"What's wrong?"
"What is he doing?"
The minibus had left following the county road, being stared by the
survivors. That soldier was also shocked. This minibus actually drove
www.asianovel.com
87
away...
Not far behind the soldier, Shao Lili was facing at the direction of the
minibus while waving desperately. She could never imagine that Jian
Liushi would leave the freeway in this fashion.
[Xiaotian, and Mr. Jiang, take care of yourselves!] Shao Lili desperately
waved. She couldn’t watch them drive away as tears were covering her
eyes.
[The crash did not cause any damages... The MCV functions normally...]
The Starseed was reporting to Jiang Liushi.
This rural road was next to the freeway. Jiang Liushi drove all the way
seeing the abandoned cars and the crowd which was slowly moving.
The survivors were temporarily safe, but once they had started slightly
relaxing from the tension they began realizing what had actually
happened in this short period of time. Many people were crying, but
most looked helpless. Those who had lost loved ones, and those who felt
confused about the future, had been immersed in all kinds of feelings.
Jiang Liushi looked at these people, and Wen Xiaotian also looked
through the window with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Soon, the country road reached a corner away from the freeway.
However, Jiang Liushi couldn’t see the forefront of the army, Li Yuxin or
any other familiar people. He finally looked at the survivors on the
freeway, and then turned the steering wheel, changing direction. The
minibus was running at a steady speed, and soon the freeway was left
behind, which meant that they were away from the protection of the
army and Shenhai Island.
www.asianovel.com
88
Then she added, "You don’t need to call me Miss Wen. You can call me
Wen Xiaotian. And if you do not mind, you can even call me Xiaotian.
That’s how my friends call me".
"You said you knew a few routes, can you tell me about them?" Jiang
Liushi asked.
Although Jiang Liushi had downloaded the road map in advance, he still
needed someone’s help. Leaving the freeway, was equivalent to moving
towards unknown risk, which had to be avoided. If Wen Xiaotian was
really familiar with the road, she would definitely know a relatively safe
road.

Chapter 14
Wen Xiaotian’s home was more than 100 kilometers away from Nanjing
City. She grew up in a small town, whose name was unknown to others,
and she left in order to study in college at Jiangbei Town. Wen Xiaotian
was born in an ordinary family. Her father was a long-distance
transportation driver, always driving from that small town to Jiangbei
City. Wen Xiaotian had always followed her father and sometimes stayed
in Jiangbei Town for a while.
"At that time, I didn’t know why. I just felt the scenery along the road
was very interesting and I had fun," Wen Xiaotian said with emotion.
She was really embarrassed after mumbling and she hastily said, "I'm
really sorry. I rambled for a long time but I didn’t get to the heart of the
matter..."
"It’s okay," Jiang Liushi said. She was really calm and collected;
considering she was a young girl who had escaped certain death and
was worried about her family.
Wen Xiaotian's eyes had always been red. Jiang Liushi inadvertently
www.asianovel.com
90
glanced at her eyes, which were looking up hard in order not to cry.
"You can continue. Anyway, we have a long way ahead of us," Jiang said.
Wen Xiaotian could not help but smile . "I know. I just have to recall
some
"I was worried that I could not remember clearly... But I just
remembered... There were two roads passing through the city, with a lot
of traffic."
Jiang Liushi shook his head and said, "We have to give up the road with
too many people or cars. On the freeway, the army will clean up the
road. However, if we were blocked on the road, we would probably
become food for the zombies. How about the other road?"
"The other road is like that too... There is a bypass passing through a
variety of small towns, because it goes through some factories along the
road… This road actually had a lot of people living nearby," Wen Xiaotian
said. More people meant more zombies, so that road had been rejected
by Jiang Liushi.
"This road..." The complexity of a road was nothing to Jiang Liushi at all.
The Starseed would keep making minor changes and make sure that the
driving safety would be greatly improved. However, the reason why Wen
Xiaotian didn’t mention this road first was because there was nothing
along the long way. No food, no water, no gas stations…
Wen Xiaotian did not know if the food in storage would suffice. However,
it was not an exaggeration to say that the food storage was enough to
open a small supermarket. Also, the water reserves could also support
them for a long time. At least they wouldn’t have to starve in
accordance with the minimum survival needs. Of course, Jiang Liushi
www.asianovel.com
91
would not take the initiative to say those things. He was not distrustful
of Wen Xiaotian, but he just felt it was too tiresome to explain... Actually,
Jiang Liushi was always afraid of getting lumbered. But it was indeed a
serious problem if there were no gas stations along the road.
Wen Xiaotian could roughly guess. Jiang Liushi added fifty kilometers,
give or take, to the number she gave, and then the Starseed began
calculating. Jiang Liushi had filled the minibus with gasoline when he had
rented it. He had also purchased a few buckets of gasoline. However,
when the refitting of the minibus had been completed, the oil tank had
become the MCV standard, which had a different capacity. Jiang Liushi
had not expected this, so he felt that the gasoline was not going be
enough.
The general capacity of an oil tank was 50L. In addition to filling the oil
tank, Jiang Liushi had bought 180L of gasoline. It would be enough but
compared to the 1000L oil storage of the MCV, it was not enough at all.
[A thousand kilometers are enough for me to drive all the way to Nanjing
City and find Jiang Zhuying.] But the calculated data provided by the
Starseed had been based on the ‘ordinary fuel consumption’ of the MCV,
which was 20L for 100 km. It was like daily driving without the
"Acceleration" and "Crash" functions. All these additional functions
consumed gasoline, so it had a large oil tank. As for the ‘ordinary fuel
consumption’, there was no difference compared to an ordinary minibus.
"Jiang, have you decided?" Jiang Liushi was silent, so Wen Xiaotian
nervously asked.
She was worried that all the routes provided by her were would be
rejected by Jiang Liushi, which would mean that she would not been able
www.asianovel.com
92
to help at all. Wen Xiaotian believed that people should help each other
mutually, of which the word ‘mutually’ being the key word there. Jiang
Liushi had helped her and let her come with him, but she could only
contribute that much.
He had taken various factors into account, so the mountain road was the
best choice for them. Although it could not withstand "a thousand
kilometers", which was the distance limit of the MCV, they would have
no problem driving at least to Wen Xiaotian’s hometown.
"Let's see if there are any gas stations on the road," Jiang Liushi said.
"Okay!" Wen Xiaotian was surprised... She thought that Jiang Liushi
would have chosen the factory road, although there would be a lot of
zombies there. Since Jiang had made a decision though, she would not
object.
As long as there was gasoline, it wouldn’t matter even if there was not
enough food to eat.
"I have seen a documentary that said that as long as there is water, one
can maintain their bodily function s, even without eating. It was said that
a girl in order to lose weight did not eat for a month. So even if we do
not eat, as long as we have water, we can survive for several days," Wen
Xiaotian said.
Jiang Liushi looked at her; he did not know why she shad aid those
things.
Wen Xiaotian then smiled and said, "I feel like I need to lose weight..."
Did Wen Xiaotian really believe that they would starve to death?

Chapter 15
The MCV had been moving smoothly on the country road. A few zombies
could be seen standing in the fields or by the roadside. Once they
spotted the MCV, they would run to it as mad as wild beasts. However,
usually they could only watch the MCV leaving them behind. The only
thing they could do was waving their arms in vain with blood-red eyes
without any sanity, only craziness and devilry.
At first Wen Xiaotian had been looking out the window attentively.
Gradually, she could lower her guard a bit and relax because of the on-
going safety. Finally, tilting her head, she had fallen asleep.
Jiang Liushi took a glimpse of Wen Xiaotian while driving the MCV. He
noticed that Wen Xiaotian had been twitching while she was sleeping,
which prevented her having a good sleep. She was really tired because
of running and tension. Jiang Liushi could not help but think about Jiang
Zhuying. He had no idea how afraid she must have been…
When Wen Xiaotian woke up, she found that the minibus had stopped
and it was dark. There were sharp-cut cliffs on one side, and some hills
loomed in the other side of the road.
www.asianovel.com
94
"Jiang brother?" Not seeing Jiang Liushi at the driver’s seat, Wen Xiaotian
suddenly sat up straightly.
She did not know how long she had slept, but it should have been two or
three hours as it was afternoon before she had fallen asleep. In that
silent mountain, the minibus was parked. Waking up, she found herself
alone in the minibus which left her confused.
Although the minibus had just about everything they could wish for
within such a small space, Wen Xiaotian had been looking around but
she could not find Jiang Liushi. As she was about to panic, she suddenly
heard the sound of water behind a small door. The small door had
suddenly opened and Jiang Liushi walked out. Wen Xiaotian looked at
Jiang Liushi in surprise. It was quite clear that Jiang Liushi had taken a
bath, as his hair were wet.
"Did you just wake up?" Jiang Liushi asked while wiping his hair.
"It was not too long, and you didn’t sleep that well. You will feel sleepy
again. Sleep is bliss, especially now."
Jiang Liushi’s words made Wen Xiaotian feel embarrassed because she
had been sleeping, while he was driving. Wen Xiaotian had always been
a relatively delicate girl. With part-time learning, she always felt that the
time she had to sleep was not enough. Coupled with the outbreak of the
virus today, she was influenced by a huge psychological impact. After
escaping, she had finally found temporary security, and as a result the
accumulated fatigue had taken its toll.
Wen Xiaotian was totally surprised with Jiang Liushi. Sleeping was a body
instinct, but it seemed...
www.asianovel.com

"Along the roadside, I found a spring and pumped some water. Although
it’s not drinkable , using it to take a bath is still very comfortable. If you
want take one , there is everything inside, and the hair dryer is next to
the mirror," Jiang Liushi said.
Wen Xiaotian listened carefully and could not help but ask, "Since the
water was filtered, it should be drinkable..."
She felt that it was too extravagant to use hot water for taking a bath…
"That’s OK. If you want to drink, you needn’t do more preparation than
turning on a tap in the kitchen. And if you are hungry after the bath, you
can go to the kitchen and cook some fine dried noodles. And in the
cupboard, there are some fresh vegetables." In fact, there were some
frozen dumplings too, but he thought it would be wasteful to eat them
now.
Although he had stored flour and so on, storing bacon was not as easy
as using it for stuffing… In fact, Jiang Liushi had put some easily stored
food into the storage room, and put some perishable food in the kitchen.
When he had been purchasing food, he had bought some fresh things
too. After all, there wass no need to eat those long-storage food from
the beginning.
Jiang Liushi had thought that eating noodles was not enough, what he
did not know was how surprised Wen Xiaotian was right now. She had
been mentally preparing to be hungry, but did not expect that there was
not only a hot bath but also noodles, and even vegetables to have.
Wen Xiaotian was speechless. . . The minibus was like a mobile hotel!
As for cooking, Wen Xiaotian was quite a good cook so she felt really
www.asianovel.com
96
good, as she was able to help. A hot bath and hot meal were all provided
by Jiang Liushi, but what she could do was so few.
"The food in the cabinet is not enough and we should save. Actually, I
always eat like a bird..." Wen Xiaotian said.
In fact, even for a child, that bowl of noodles would not be enough.
Eating so little, she would at most fill her stomach. Jiang Liushi would like
to tell her, in fact, the supplies in the cabinet was not even one-fifth of
what he had stored. And the food in the cupboard, was not to be saved,
was to be eaten…
For a long time he had not eaten noodles, so those tasted very good.

"Jiang brother, you are going to..."Wen Xiaotian was frozen for a
moment, seeing Jiang Liushi parking.
"I'll search for some food," Jiang Liushi said.
In the early days, fresh food wouldn’t rot. During this time, it was
relatively easy for them to collect food. A few days later, fresh
www.asianovel.com
98
ingredients would rot, and they could only eat those anti-corrosion food
in vacuum packaging. Although Jiang Liushi prepared some, they
couldn’t miss the fresh ingredients.
"Find food? Is the food of this restaurant edible…"Wen Xiaotian said
worriedly. Jiang Liushi smiled, he knew that Wen Xiaotian was worried
that these ingredients would be contaminated with the virus. Jiang Liushi
had gotten the information from the Starseed that before the outbreak
of the virus, the world's food and water all carried the virus.
However, people like Jiang Liushi, who had suffered from the virus
mutation, hadn’t to be afraid of the virus at all.
Of course, they still couldn’t be bit by zombies. Otherwise, the zombie
which had been carrying the enhanced virus would infect them.
Jiang Liushi didn’t said that to Wen Xiaotian, because explaining was
difficult. Therefore, he just said, "Take it easy, these ingredients are
good."
"That... Do we really need to get off?" Wen Xiaotian timidly asked
because it was extremely dangerous. But in the end of the world
everything was dangerous! Especially looking for food, they had to take
the risk of doing it.
Wen Xiaotian’s face was slightly pale. She was afraid. However, if Jiang
Liushi needed her, she would be brave enough to get off.
"Hold on!" Jiang Liushi suddenly said.
"Ah?" Wen Xiaotian was frozen for a moment. She had not had time to
say anything, hearing the roar of the car engine.
"Om!"
The minibus was like a raging bison and rushed out, directly hitting the
door of the restaurant. The wooden door, along with the surrounding
walls were all crashing down! Jiang Liushi was clear that the wall was
simply too thin, so it wouldn’t withstand the collision. Actually, it was just
a thin layer of metal, which was filled with the bubble, easy to be
destroyed.
The wall fell and the whole roof was crumbling. Meanwhile, Jiang Liushi
saw the scene inside the small restaurant. It was quite a bloody scene.
Four zombies were lying on the ground, desperately scrambling for
www.asianovel.com
99
something. It was full of blood, internal organs and debris, and about
five people were lying on the ground, it was not known how many bodies
were actually there as Jiang Liushi couldn’t discriminate, surrounded by
a pool of blood.
"OMG!" Wen Xiaotian could not help but start screaming, she
immediately covered her mouth with her hand.
The scene was nauseating, but she had to start adapting. The zombies
had stopped eating, and turned to see this minibus. Their eyes were
scarlet, with their blood vessels protruding. Dripping blood and meat
could be seen as they growled wildly rushing to the minibus.
Jiang Liushi didn’t say anything, pushing the pedal to the metal.
"Om - !!" The engine roared again, the minibus had hit the zombies and
sent them flying to the wall.
Bang!
The whole wall crumbled. The minibus pressed against the zombies till
they hit the backyard walls. Flesh and blood splashed on the windshield,
four zombies were killed by Jiang Liushi!
"Wooo--" Jiang Liushi took a deep breath. Watching the stains on the
windshield, he hesitated for a bit, and then pressed the wiper. The wiper
started wiping the windshield, after that washing liquid was sprayed out,
diluting the blood, which was slowly swept down. Jiang Liushi was
silently looking at all this, he seemed accustomed to bearing such a
bloody and killing scene.
Wen Xiaotian bit her lips, standing behind Jiang Liushi, watching the
blood being swept down, she didn’t know what to say. Jiang Liushi’s
reaction was very calm. Wen Xiaotian knew that in order to survive they
should be calm.
"I ... I'm going to find food." Wen Xiaotian suddenly woke up,
volunteering to get off to find food. It was dangerous, but she should do
something.
"I will open the door," Wen Xiaotian reminded. She didn’t push the door
until Jiang Liushi had agreed. Letting Wen Xiaotian get off, Jiang Liushi
had no alternative way because the Starseed could only be controlled by
him. Even if she was in danger, Jiang Liushi could try his best to save

Jiang Liushi had been frightened by this strange roar and he had a
strong sense of uneasiness.
"Ah?" Wen Xiaotian was frozen for a moment. She had been cooking the
meals for a while, and now turning off the fire, she was afraid that they
couldn’t get the chance to eat. But Wen Xiaotian had also heard that
unusual roar, so she quickly put the fire off, while Jiang Liushi turned off
the MCV’s power switch.
The lights were off. Surrounded by darkness, the road was filled with
extremely fresh air, and there was no light visible around the area. Jiang
Liushi could see the dark blue sky, full of stars, through the window. A
thin moon hung obliquely in the hills, above shedding its weak, cool
light.
The night sky was beautiful. But at this moment, looking at the night
www.asianovel.com
103
sky, Jiang Liushi felt his blood freezing. In of the thin moon, he saw a
huge shadow staring at the MCV. It looked like a monster, yet he did not
know what on earth it was. Jiang Liushi did not dare to turn on the
headlights. He held his breath, lowered his body and pulled down
Xiaotian.
The seal of the MCV was very good. Despite that they had been cooking,
the smell couldn’t escape out. Since that shadow should not have been
attracted by the fragrance, it might have been by the light source. Jiang
Liushi had cut off the light source, hoping that this shadow would lose its
target and leave.
[The end of the world has just begun and the MCV is still in the initial
state. If we encounter some terrible monsters and the MCV is
overturned, that would be a catastrophe!] Jiang Liushi thought.
"Jiang Brother..."Wen Xiaotian said with a very light and trembling voice,
standing by Jiang Liushi’s side. The eschatological atmosphere, coupled
with encountering a terrifying dark shadow, had left a huge
psychological impact to the girl.
"Go and hide under the sofa. Do not make a sound!" Jiang Liushi arched
his back, slowly moving close to the driver's seat. He had been
considering driving to escape, as he found that even if the light was
turned off, the shadow was still slowly approaching. But Jiang Liushi
didn’t dare to drive too fast, so as not to anger that shadow.
As the shadow was getting closer, lit by the weak moonlight, Jiang Liushi
could distinguish that the approaching shadow was actually an
enormous boar.
"How could this boar be so huge?" Jiang Liushi was shocked. Although it
was far away, comparing it with the surrounding houses, he estimated
that this boar was at least as large as a light-weighted truck!
www.asianovel.com
104
Its height was no shorter than the MCV, except for its lower body. It was
full of steel thorn-like black hair, which was stained with a large number
of blood scabs, making it look like it had climbed out from a blood pool.
Its tusks were like two huge machetes. And one of them even had a long
intestine hanging. That was a fierce pig out of hell!
That boar had been staring at Jiang Liushi’s MCV with its two searchlight-
shaped eyes blooming scarlet light. This was not the feeling Jiang Liushi
got. It was really blooming like wolfs’ eyes in the night with dark green
light, except that this light was scarlet.
"OMG, is this…"
Jiang Liushi had recalled some information the Starseed had provided
after the beginning of doomsday, in addition to some people and
animals being infected turning to zombies, there were still some people
and animals that would mutate! This variation would make them much
stronger than zombies. When Jiang Liushi had read about it, it made no
sense till now, seeing a real mutated boar, Jiang Liushi was finally
shocked. A small truck-like boar seemed to be little, but as it was slowly
approaching, its musk, bristles and scarlet glowing eyes had left of a
strong visual impact!
"Roar--!"
The boar had suddenly issued a terrible roar. It raised its hoofs, rushing
straightly towards the MCV and Jiang Liushi! It ran up. Its feet treaded
down with the heavy body, trampling the road and shattering the earth.
A truck-sized boar, whose weight should be more than ten tons, was
running almost at the speed of a cheetah, in a short time. Jiang Liushi
could even feel the ground trembling!
www.asianovel.com
105
"Damn!" Jiang Liushi was shocked. Once such a heavy boar collided, the
impact would be extremely horrible and the entire MCV would definitely
be affected! The MCV was protected with armor. But talking about its
weight, it was more than the average bus and could not afford too much,
how could it withstand such a collision! Once rolled over, they would
have no power to resist. Even if it was the strongest armor, it would still
be opened by the fangs of this big boar bit by bit!
"Damn!" Jiang Liushi cursed and jumped to the driver's seat. Meanwhile,
the boar had come closer to the MCV, he had no time to escape!
www.asianovel.com
106
Liushi feel like that the light truck-sized boar was going to hit his face,
even its faint tusks were facing his head! If this glass could not sustain,
his head would be penetrated by its sharp tusks! In this life and death
moment, Jiang Liushi’s mind was blank. He just focused on the steering
wheel while trampling the throttle!
"Fight!"
Jiang Liushi felt his blood boiling. The boar’s huge head had been in front
of him and Jiang Liushi could even see his own reflection in the boar’s
scarlet pupils.
"Collision!"
"Bang!!"
The MCV was shaken!
The huge impact jolted Jiang Liushi’s body but the flexible seat belt
tightly kept him in his seat. Simultaneously, he felt as his body was
going to be cut in half by the safe belt.
"Bang!"
The air-bag had burst open, hitting his face and making him feel dizzy.
At the same time, crackling sounds could be heard from the back. Those
pots and pans had fallen on the floor under the influence of great inertia.
The sofa was fixed on the car and so it could not be moved, but that
great impact still made Wen Xiaotian, who had tied herself with the seat
belt, issue a scream.
"Bang!"
Wen Xiaotian felt her head in a pain. She had hit her head somewhere.
she experienced a blackout and directly passed out. At this time, Jiang
Liushi quickly recovered the airbag, which was one of MCV’s abilities.
Airbags that had popped up would be recovered instantly, in order to not
affect the driver's sight. Jiang Liushi had been enduring the dizzy feeling
as well as the pain on his lower abdomen, because the seat belt was
tightening it.

which meant that the internal lines of the windshield had been broken,
thus changing its transparency. In general, bulletproof glass would
become white after it was shot by bullets, and of course, even if its
internal glass was broken, it still retain its bulletproof ability.
"Warning! The MCV has been damaged, level 3.5. The bulletproof glass’
durability has been reduced by 60 percent... Power system damaged…
Instantaneous acceleration and collision function are unavailable... The
car’s power was cut off!" The Starseed was showing the MCV’s status
"The MCV is broken?" Jiang Liushi was stunned for a moment. The MCV
had faced a large number of zombies’ siege before but had nothing or
even the slightest traces left. And today, after being hit by the mutated
boar, it had been damaged to this degree.

Dang!
The impact of the blood stream on a panel room was strong like a
hammer, and directly collapsed the flat!
"Awesome power!" Jiang Liushi couldn’t help but say out loud.
The MCV was still on automatic cruise. After the wheels has landed, it
was still automatic, so Jiang Liushi Liushi hurriedly terminated the cruise
and stepped on the brake.
"Zhi---"
The MCV’s four tires had been battered, and especially the rear wheels,
because of the intense friction they had become so hot that smoke
emanated, giving off a burnt smell. Compared with ordinary vehicle's’
tires, the MCV’s tires were naturally much stronger. Its internal space
scattered small air sacs, which protected it from being punctured by
bullets. But even so, after this ordeal, it was severely damaged.
Jiang Liushi was in a state of prostration, when he opened the door.
Although the battle was mainly between the MCV and the mutated wild
boar, it also made Jiang Liushi feel deeply tired. The energy consumption
was too big!
Jiang Liushi looked at the front, and sighed with emotion, "The air
cannon was really amazing!" Before launching the air cannon, Jiang
Liushi did not think that the initial speed of 810m/s would be so
powerful. Although the air was highly compressed, against the
bulletproof boar flesh, its power was greatly reduced. If he had not shot
in boar’s mouth, it would be very difficult to kill it.
Jiang Liushi picked the wrench up, and moved staggeringly to the
variable wild boar. Seeing the blood, meat, intestines and the wild boar
with its last breath, Jiang Liushi was shocked.
[Good boy, this pig got f*cked!]
Jiang Liushi stopped about a dozen meters away from the mutated wild
boar, just to make sure it did not have a convulsive twitch or something
that could hurt him. Also, he was afraid to get too far from the MCV, or
else he could not get on it in time.
"Wen Xiaotian!" Jiang Liushi called Wen Xiaotian, however, there was no
answer.
www.asianovel.com
114
Looking at Wen Xiaotian's wound, Jiang Liushi shook his head, and felt
that she was really unlucky. She must have been hurt by the pot, bowl
and so on. Although Wen Xiaotian was tied on the sofa with the seat
belt, the pots and pans were not fixed. If the collision had been stronger,
it would not be impossible for her to be killed by these bottles and cans.
[That's really dangerous.] Jiang Liushi breathed a sigh of relief. If the
battle with the mutated wild boar had killed Wen Xiaotian, he would feel
very sad.
Jiang Liushi went to the storage room to pick up a gauze, as he was
trying to bandage Wen Xiaotian a message came to his mind.
[The MCV is damaged. The damage degree is 3.5. It needs 200 kg of
steel, 100 kg of copper, 30 kilograms of organic polymer plastic, 1200
liters of gasoline, 200 KWH of electricity and 24 hours to be repaired.]
Hearing the message, Jiang Liushi was shocked and bitterly smiled. The
MCV had been damaged. It's lucky that it could be repaired by itself, but
the repair materials needed were hard to find. Steel, copper, organic
plastics, especially electricity and gasoline! It was not easy to collect
these. 1200 liters of gasoline was almost a ton. The MCV was a gas
guzzler.
And now the gas reserves...
Jiang Liushi looked at the oil table with a face of bitterness. The
continuous impact function, and launching the air cannon, the gasoline
consumption left less than 20L just about 100 km!
If there were zombies in this hundred kilometers, the consequences
couldn’t be imagined. He was worried about it, until another message
made him raise his ears.
[Successfully killed a first-level variable animal, and found a first-level
mutant nucleus, located at the heart of the mutant animal. Taking it out,
www.asianovel.com
115
you can use it to finish the initial evolution of the MCV. The mutant
animal meat can be eaten directly, invigorating health effectively and
supplying raw materials to biological laboratories. It will help you to start
the function of biological evolution.]
"Huh? What?" Jiang Liushi was shocked. He wanted to know what the
mutant nucleus and biological laboratories were.
The killed mutant animal was the mutant boar. Was the first-level
mutant nucleus in the mutant boar? As for biological laboratories?
What's that? No biological laboratory was found by him when he
completed the MCV’s renovation.
"Click!"
Just then a sound came. Jiang Liushi turned his head, seeing that the
MCV had popped up a groove from the navigation bridge. Only
something in the shape of a ping-pong ball could fit into it. He looked at
the groove for a while and wondered about its materials, which seemed
to be extremely delicate, and this was the first time he had seen it.
A few conjectures had been generated in his mind. The mutant nucleus
was at the heart...
He took the dagger had bought before, jumped off and went to the
mutated boar. The mutated boar had been turned over, and he was able
to see the mutated boar's heart.
"Poo-!"
Jiang Liushi waved the dagger and stabbed it.

were mutant, people also had variations. Although he had a MCV, his
body was his biggest weakness. If HE died, everything would be over.
That’s why Jiang Liushi did not dare to get off. If he had the gene
evolution fluid, he would become more powerful. The whole combat
prowess would naturally be greatly improved. The biological laboratory
had to be opened. But it needed two first-degree mutant nucleus, and so
far he had only one. The MCV was severely damaged just to kill the
mutant boar. As for two, Jiang Liushi couldn’t imagine. He needed to be
stronger.
The MCV should be improved first, then he would become stronger. This
eschatological torture let Jiang Liushi have too many things to do. There
was no way to think about the biological laboratory. Now he needed to
carefully choose a function for the MCV’s evolution.
The first option, upgrading the fuel tank, was really necessary. The
MCV’s current fuel tank was too small, ten cubic meters, only for eight or
nine tons of gasoline. Regardless of collision or using weapons, it all
needed fuel. Actually, it would be too cruel if they were killed by running
out the fuel!
The second option, storage space, was also attractive for Jiang Liushi.
The MCV was in lack of space. A lot of things were needed to be held,
such as the mutant boar meat. With a huge storage space, the MCV will
become a mobile granary.
As for upgrading armor and bulletproof glass strength, opening
automatic absorption of materials, upgrading weapons and so on, Jiang
Liushi was very perplexed. Even that simple function of adding
mechanical arms, he felt it was too necessary.
No mechanical arms, only carrying this mutation boar, it let Jiang Liushi
worry. Ten tons! How could it be moved? However, he could only choose
one. The choice was too difficult.
Jiang Liushi thought about the choice carefully, and then, he chose the
first option to increase fuel capacity because it was directly related to
Jiang Liushi’s life! A large amount of gasoline could be stored.
The MCV had to be maintained in the shortest time. It demanded 1200L
gasoline. Then many of the subsequent combat functions all needed an

Jiang Liushi had grown up in a family with bad financial condition. And
his parents were both dead. As a result, he and his sister stuck together
and helped each other in difficulties by selling their house. He got used
to the frugal life. Wasting so much let him feel heart-ached.
www.asianovel.com
121
improved for people with a good constitution. And this mutant meat was
easy to store. In autumn and winter, it could be put for a few months
and should be more valuable than the hard currency.
"Waste is the biggest crime. I have to take it away!" Jiang Liushi made
up his mind, but it was extremely difficult for him and the minibus. He
decided to use a neighborhood small van. That van was so old that it
would soon have to be scrapped. Jiang Liushi went to the side of the van,
pulling the door, a turned towards the ruined "Pickled fish" restaurant.
Jiang Liushi estimated that the driver must have been hungry and went
down to eat "pickled fish", however, he was killed when the end of the
world came. The key should be hanging on the driver. But looking at the
bloody mess, gnawed by the zombies, coupled with the wild boar and
MCV’s battle, Jiang Liushi thought it was unbearable to watch! Minced
meat, blood and mixed mud were everywhere. It was a very challenging
thing to find a key in there. After thinking, Jiang Liushi decided to give up
and he found a wrench at the fairly complete automotive repair shop,
smashing against the window of the small van.
"Crash!"
The windshield was broken and Jiang Liushi climbed into the van. That
windshield had become tiny pieces, not hurting the hand. Actually, it
was quite easy for Jiang Liushi to climb. He sat in the cab, released the
handbrake, and pulled out a nine-meter long trailer rope from the cab.
This kind of trailer rope was equipped by all cars, especially in this kind
of van, so that it could be anchored at any time. Jiang Liushi immediately
connected the broken van with his MCV.
Jiang Liushi went behind the van. Its back door was not locked because it
www.asianovel.com
122
To Jiang Liushi’s surprise, after taking away the crystal nucleus of the
wild boar, the meat seemed to have become easier to split and tender.
Not to mention the hacksaw, it could even be cut by the dagger and it
was no more difficult than cutting real pork.
"Jiang brother, Jiang brother!"
Suddenly, Jiang Liushi heard Wen Xiaotian’s panicked voice from the
MCV. After waking up she had seen the living room in a mess, and even
the MCV’s bulletproof glass that had burst, and was extremely panicked
as she was all alone.
"I'm here!" Jiang Liushi shouted. Wen Xiaotian heard his voice, drawing a
long breath.
"What about the boar? Was it be crashed by the MCV?" Wen Xiaotian
opened the seat belt, staggering out of the MCV. However, the outside
scene shocked Wen Xiaotian.
She saw Jiang Liushi cutting the mutant wild boar with a fire axe; the
mutant wild boar was apparently dead, without even a convulsion.
This…
Wen Xiaotian had seen the terrible wild boar. It bumped up and swept
everything. A row of rooms were as strong as a paper box in front of it.
Its roar was terrible. Did it really die?
Of course, Wen Xiaotian would not believe that the wild boar was killed
by Jiang Liushi with an axe, but was it killed by the MCV?
"This minibus…" Wen Xiaotian looked back at the severely damaged
MCV. It was really incredible.
www.asianovel.com
123
Jiang Liushi took a bandage from the storage to bind up her wound. Then
they cut the meat piece by piece together. The red roasted wild boar
looked better than good beef.
They moved hundreds of pieces of meat. Little by little on the van, even
the pig bones were moved by Jiang Liushi. Completing this task, Jiang
Liushi and Wen Xiaotian had been exhausted. Fortunately, from the
beginning to the end, no zombie had appeared. Otherwise, it would be a
very troublesome thing to avoid them.
Jiang Liushi returned to the MCV and sat on the sofa trying to catch his
breath. Although he experienced a life and death battle, he was full of
joy.
Author’s Note: Some readers believe that the kitchen, living room and
the bathroom can’t be arranged in a minibus. Actually, in fact, we can
find some pictures from the Internet and you can see that can be
arranged easily. To choose space is to save space.

suction, and then putting the other end of the tube into larger gasoline
barrels, using the Siphon Principle. That was a technical work. Sucking a
mouthful of gasoline was possible. But Jiang Liushi was only looking
forward to quickly finishing the upgradation of the fuel tank. He was
searching for an abandoned gas station, in order to take eight or nine
tons of gasoline.
Again and again, Jiang Liushi felt his mouth pumping cramps. It was
lucky to meet a truck with 70 or 80 liters gasoline. But cars were more
pitiful as they had smaller fuel tanks, that is, the gap was small, which
meant it was hard to collect gasoline. He needed to try very hard only
for 20 or 30 liters. In the end, Jiang Liushi had collected many fuel tanks,
enough to fill six barrels with gasoline, and it was estimated that was
enough.
[What the f*ck! It was not necessarily easier than cutting the wild boar!]

Chapter 23
Jiang Liushi had encountered some wandering zombies along the way.
The MCV was already damaged, but it had no problem killing some
ordinary zombies.
It had taken a whole day for Jiang Liushi to reach their destination. It was
a three-story building, looking a little obsolete, located in the middle of a
big county which was thousands of square meters. The yard was
surrounded by concrete walls where broken glass stood to prevent
climbing. The door was six or seven meters wide, permitting two cars to
move in parallel, and slightly broken. At the top of the gate, there were
also many spear points, looking a little guarded.
For this backward county, a large iron gate and a wide courtyard like
www.asianovel.com
129
this, and the three-story of building, were all quite "lofty" buildings. The
iron signboard at the door had slightly fallen, shaking by the wind, and
making sounds. Jiang Liushi saw the seven big words on the sign, "The
Waste Recycling Station of Fu Wang", followed by some small words,
"Collecting used building material, collecting damaged cars, steel,
copper, aluminum, plastic, waste paper..." According to Wen Xiaotian, it
was the largest recycling station in the neighborhood. It was also a
company, called "Fu Wang limited liability Company of Renewable
Resources Recycling".
The name‘s combination of local and modern made him feel a little
uncomfortable, but the recycling station was still sizable. After all, it was
a company. That was also why Jiang Liushi had chosen that place. Jiang
Liushi stopped the MCV and pressed a button, the trailer line
disconnected automatically. After all, he knew nothing about the
recycling station; the truck would only act as a hindrance while fighting.
The door was like a jar. He stepped on the accelerator. Thousands of
square meters of the courtyard were full of "renewable resources".
Beside these resources, there was a forklift.
Jiang Liushi rocked the horn directly, so that zombies would be attracted
to the sound. It was desolate and uninhabited within an eight miles
radius, so more zombies couldn’t be attracted.
Soon, there was a low roar from the black building, and a dozen zombies
appeared. They hurried to the MCV as soon as they appeared. Jiang
Liushi was relieved because there were no mutant beasts. If there was a
mutant beast, he could only escape, leaving a cargo of wild pork, which
was enough to satisfy the beast.
www.asianovel.com
130
[Let me give you a ride!] Seeing the zombies rushing, Jiang Liushi
stepped on the accelerator.
Like a bowling ball hitting pins, more than a dozen zombies were
knocked off the ground, and some of them were pushed to the top of the
waste pile and died.
Jiang Liushi was cautious. He drove the MCV back and forth a few times
to ensure that every zombie was killed. He also whistled for five minutes
to make sure that there were no new zombies, and then he got off.
"Ah...then you..."
"I’m gonna fix the car!" Jiang Liushi said briefly. He didn’t want to let
Wen Xiaotian see the process of maintenance and upgrade, so he found
something for her to do.
Wen Xiaotian blinked her big eyes and thought about the car’s repair,
[This rich boy, also knows how to repair a car?]
But thinking about how he had transformed a waste car so grisly, she
believed that he was a car enthusiast, or even the transformation of this
minibus were all done by his own team.
www.asianovel.com
131
"Wen Xiaotian, while repairing, I need silence, and thinking about some
modifications, please don’t bother me. It may take more than a day.
Remember take some food; I don’t want you to starve. If anything
occurs, shouting my name is fine."
Jiang Liushi drove the MCV into a parking lot, which was around a
hundred square meters, while Wen Xiaotian headed to the gate to
guard. The recycling station had all kinds of things. Seeing what he
liked, Jiang Liushi would move it to the shed.
However, he was stunned to find that there was a large amount of new
building materials in the warehouse of the recycling depot, after he had
unlocked the warehouse. There were a big bundle of black and blue
steel, aluminum alloy building materials, a plate of copper wire, cast
copper pipe, brand new PPR plastic pipe and PVC drainpipe.
Their quality was really good. Could all these also be called waste?
After pondering for a while, he understood that sometimes the
construction units would graft some materials and sell them. The
recycling center would act as an intermediary, help them deal with these
things, and benefit from it. It was cheap for Jiang Liushi to use the best
www.asianovel.com

Jiang Liushi was very excited. He was like a squirrel, carrying materials
to his own small nest.
The MCV would be not only be his combat base, but his home. All
materials were gathered soon, and the Starseed began scanning and
transforming. He upgraded the fuel tank first, and soon the roar of the
diesel generators rang out. Jiang Liushi connected the power supply and
started repairing the MCV.
When Jiang Liushi woke up, the MCV’s modification had been completed.
The MCV was restored as it was, and the oil tank didn’t seem to have
changed, but there were 10 cubic meters of extra space inside, filled
with gasoline; he didn’t have to worry any more.
www.asianovel.com
133
Chapter 24
Originally, it was a small capacity tank, which could not afford a lot of
gasoline consumption, but now he was not worried about this problem
anymore. With an upgraded fuel tank, it could better support the big
horsepower engine that the car was equipped with. In particular, this
"automatic gasoline withdrawal device" was a surprise to Jiang Liushi.
With this, he wouldn’t have to manually to withdraw gasoline from other
vehicles.
The fuel tank had been upgraded, and Jiang Liushi couldn't wait to try it.
He brought a bucket with a small amount of gasoline and put it into the
tank. Without the need for a button, Jiang Liushi passed an order to the
Starseed.
With a "click" sound the gas tank opened automatically, then a metal
tube protruded from inside. This tube was a part of the upgradation, he
didn’t know about the material used, and Jiang Liushi could see on top of
www.asianovel.com
134
the metal tube movable claws and a flashing light device, it seemed to
be a detector. The probe turned around till it detected the barrel, then
the metal pipe stretched out toward the barrel, in a few seconds the
little gasoline in the barrel was taken away.
The tubing, which could suck gasoline from gasoline drums, could also
be connected with refueling guns at gas stations. Jiang Liushi’s mind
controlled the metal tube to extend further.
After the test, Jiang Liushi made sure that the longest stretching
distance of the metal tube was 10 meters. That result satisfied Jiang
Liushi, because it meant the MCV could absorb gas without him getting
out of the minibus. It was more convenient and safe, after all, every time
he had tried to acquire gasoline he needed a lot of time, and naturally
the risk was great. Urban gas stations were more dangerous, it was very
possible facing a zombie. The minibus was like a brand-new one. Jiang
Liushi wanted to set out to look for Jiang Zhuying.
Before the end of the day had come, Jiang Liushi had completed the
MCV’s transformation…
Now driving along the road to Nanjing City, because a lot of things
happened and delayed them so long, Jiang Liushi was very anxious. He
did not know how Jiang Zhuying was.
[Get the gasoline first, fill up the new tank, and then look for Jiang
Zhuying,] Jiang Liushi thought.
[Hm? It seems that the acceleration system works better.] He felt that
he was driving a sports car rather than a minibus.
www.asianovel.com
135
Variable speed, variable direction, were all very flexible. The MCV had a
large capacity tank that made all kinds of suppressed performance get
to work.
In any case, it was true that Jiang Liushi was driving a gasoline tiger with
the strongest fighting capacity…
If he could find a gas station that hadn’t been looted, it could be driven
for nearly 30,000 kilometers. That was equal to running three quarters
of the earth's equator! It was indeed willful with a bigger gasoline tank.
"Dididi –"
Jiang Liushi used the horn in front of the black house. Hiding in the small
building, Wen Xiaotian ran out quickly with messy hair and sleepy eyes.
It was clear that she had just woken up, running out in a
hurry. After seeing Jiang Liushi, Wen Xiaotian felt a little embarrassed.
Soon, her gaze shifted to the Mobile Construction Vehicle. The original
Mobile Construction Vehicle, had its front smashed, one could almost
see the shape of the boar's head.
But now, everything was fixed just like it was before. It was so cool!
Repairing the car sheet metal was not simple work. Although Wen
Xiaotian did not quite understand its specific process, she was clear that
at least a skilled professional would be needed to fix it. Jiang Liushi was
a rich second generation. How did he actually accomplish it all alone?
www.asianovel.com
136
The weirdest thing was... Even the windshield was fixed. How did the
windshield get repaired as a new one? Did the recycling station store
windshields?
Wen Xiaotian was dazed. Listening that Jiang Liushi was going to repair
the MCV, she had thought he would make several iron patch. She never
thought the MCV could be repaired to this degree. It was too
exaggerated. So when she got on the bus, Wen Xiaotian stared at the
windshield. She couldn't help being curious and whispered, "This
glass..."
"Glass? Oh... I had a spare one in the box," he said with a dry cough.
Of course, Wen Xiaotian didn’t know anything about the MCV’s black
technology, with its self-repair function.
Although she felt wronged, she had to accept Jiang Liushi's explanation.
"The town in front is my home. There are some gas stations in town."
Along the way, gas stations were unlikely to be on the small village road.
Now, Jiang Liushi would finally find his first gas station.
[Gas station!]
The gas stations on the highway had been controlled by the military.
And during the end of the day, gasoline and food were very important
materials. In this rural town, traffic was very inconvenient and there
were a lot of zombies along the way. Jiang Liushi believed that the army
could not reach out to this place in such a short time.
www.asianovel.com
137
After upgrading the fuel tank, some functions of the Mobile Construction
Vehicle had been unlocked…
www.asianovel.com

Chapter 25
A few abandoned vehicles were parked on the road, their owners had
already vanished.
"Creak" A slight brake sound was heard and the minibus stopped at an
intersection...
And then…
"Kuang!"
The van came really close to the minibus and the minibus started
shaking. Wen Xiaotian looked at the minibus’s rear. "Will we be okay
with that kind of shaking?"
www.asianovel.com
139
"My home... It’s about 200 meters in the alley," Wen Xiaotian said
nervously. She was uneasy. She was almost sleepless last night, every
time waking up from nightmares, dreaming that her family members
were completely eaten by zombies, or simply had become zombies.
Especially now, after seeing the tragic scene in her hometown, she
became even more worried and even was afraid to go home. All these
scenes made her feel her heart beating wildly.
But her home was a few meters away, and she had to go back...
However, Jiang Liushi didn’t immediately start the minibus, nor did he
get off. He was holding the steering wheel as he was thinking.
"What... What’s wrong?" Wen Xiaotian asked. She originally thought that
Jiang Liushi had stopped at the side of the restaurant to collect food, but
it was not the case.
"It is strange. There is something wrong with this town." Jiang Liushi
seemed to be talking to himself.
"Huh?" Wen Xiaotian was dumbfounded and didn’t know what was
wrong.
www.asianovel.com
140
In principle, although the shopping center of the town was not full of
zombies, it should have thousands of zombies together. It’s easy for
Jiang Liushi to drive all the way running over a bloody scene. He had
thought that they’d have to face much more zombies and maybe some
variable animals. However, that hadn’t happened. Jiang Liushi felt very
strange and uneasy.
"Yes... You’re right." Wen Xiaotian was worried about her family, and
didn't notice the anomaly of the town.
"The number of zombies was not much; even the road congestion was
strange. The sudden accident should have blocked up the road, but
instead it could be used."
There were also many abandoned vehicles on the road, but they were all
parked on either side of the road. Only a few cars were left in the middle
of the road.
"So..." Wen Xiaotian also noticed the situation. It showed that the road
was probably cleaned by someone. "Was it the army?"
There was a glimmer of hope in her eyes, and if so, her family may be
safe under the army’s protection...
"I'm afraid not... "Jiang Liushi shook his head. The national army was not
Chinese cabbage. At ordinary times they are stationed in one place.
When doomsday arrived, they could only control the big cities.
"We’ll find out soon." Jiang Liushi started the minibus slowly and warily.
www.asianovel.com
141
The zombies were at a short distance from the minibus, and neither the
launch nor the driving of the minibus made a big noise, so they were not
noticed by the zombies.
The slowly moving minibus was like sneaking into the town. It was
stealthily, undetected and, moving deep in the town.
However, Jiang Liushi didn't know that his minibus was in the view of
hand-held binoculars.
"Zhang Brother, there's someone here." A short man wearing black, like
a monkey, said with a smile, "Maybe we can find something."
"Oh?" The one referred as Zhang Brother was muscular, wearing a tight
tank top showing his body muscles, he was like a fitness instructor in a
gym.
"We can find what? You must be kidding! This f*cking driver must be a
country bumpkin running out of the mountainous area, he must be
looking for the army. It is not to my liking." Zhang Brother said angrily.
The monkey-like man said with a face full of flattery, "Yu Brother
commanded us looking for gasoline and food. Although the car looks
poor, it came from outside of town. It maybe has some special local
products. We almost finished looting our own town. Grasshopper leg
meat is still meat! And there may even be a sister in the car!?" The
skinny monkey-like man said with an indescribable smile.

Chapter 26
"Turn left. Go into that road and just drive a little longer." Wen Xiaotian
said, pointing to the road.
Suddenly, Jiang Liushi turned the steering wheel, and the MCV which
was moving like a snail sped up and moved toward the side.
Wen Xiaotian screamed while her body followed the MCV’s momentum.
But with the seat belt tied, she was just shocked by the change.
www.asianovel.com
144
people looked like devils, not good people. Originally meeting other
survivors instead of zombies would be a good thing, but now Xiaotian
could shake in fear.
Jiang Liushi looked silently at those motorcycles. Those people obviously
had not appeared with the best of intentions, so there was no way he
would stop the car.
Listening to the words of this young man, Jiang Liushi did not show any
intention to stop. Seeing that he was ignored by the driver, the young
man said, "F*ck". And then he went to the back of the car and said to
‘Zhang Brother’, "He won’t stop."
The skinny monkey-like man behind ‘Zhang Brother’ hurriedly asked,
"Was there any girl?"
Zhang nodded and said, "Go ahead and break his window, but be
careful."
"No problem!" The young man responded.
Two young people, that were sitting in the back of the seat, hit against
the window with their steel pipes.
"Ah!" Wen Xiaotian instinctively dodged.
"Don't be afraid," Jiang Liushi said without looking.
www.asianovel.com
145
[How could the bulletproof glass be smashed by some steel pipes? Their
strength is not even close compared with the mutant boar.] Jiang
thought.
The two young men were not feeling well. Their attempt to smash the
window not only failed, but even their steel pipes bounced back. One of
the steel pipes fell to the ground, and to make things worse their hands
had been hurt.
Simultaneously, Jiang Liushi slowly stepped on the accelerator, and
began accelerating.
"What are these people trying to do?" Wen Xiaotian turned to look at
those people, still suffering from shock.
"Rob us?" Wen Xiaotian asked in a solemn tone. "At such a time! They
want to rob us?"
"It could also be you they’re after...." Jiang Liushi added.
Wen Xiaotian was stupefied and then tightened her collar. Just from
those people’s eyes on her, it was possible...
Jiang Liushi was ready to throw off those motorcycle guys.
"F*ck! Stop immediately!" After a series of suffering setbacks, the
motorcycle gang were getting annoyed instead of giving up.
A few motorcycles had sped up and were really close to Jiang Liushi’s
side. A young man stood up from the back seat of a motorcycle, holding
his axe and grinning at Jiang Liushi who was in the driving cab.
Jiang Liushi suddenly frowned. Looking at the motorcycle approaching,
he followed the Starseed’s instructions, and suddenly turned the
steering wheel.
"Bang!"
The young man who was holding the axe, and wanted to chop at the
minibus, was directly hit by the minibus. His motorcycle lost its balance,
falling down, and slid away. The young man fell to the ground, he was in
www.asianovel.com
146

147
the motorcycle gang’s screams, let the rest of the other members
shocked and terrified.
Two motorcycles in succession had been hit… The driver was cruel
enough!
Then, the minibus changed its direction again, and faced towards
Zhang’s vehicle.
"OMG! F*ck!" Zhang was shocked. That worn-out minibus, gave him a
feeling just like he was being stared at by a beast. The minibus was
heading to his direction, which was enough to make him shudder with
fear!

Wen Xiaotian waved in the back of the window, but she forgot that this
window was not visible from the outside. Those people came to the
minibus and were all stunned.
Jiang Liushi revealed a trace of both fear and shock look after seeing
their surprise, but he also had some doubts.
The ponytail girl quickly took a pack of something out of her backpack
and put it into the large jacket. No one stopped her. Next, they carefully
walked over the minibus.
"Wen Xiaotian," Jiang Liushi called her.
Wen’s mind suddenly came back and she run to the door, saying
excitedly, "Jiang Brother, I saw my sister."
"Fine." Jiang Liushi responded.
He still sat in the driver’s seat and watched Wen running out of the car
and walking out. The group of people slowly came near , suspiciously
looking at the minibus. They suddenly saw a girl walking out from the
back of the minibus. They all got shocked at first and at the same time,
Wen Lu ran over there, after a short period of shock.
The two sisters hugged each other tightly.
"Lulu!" Wen Xiaotian’s eyes were moist.
Wen Lu could not help bursting into tears, "Sister! I did not expect that
we could see each other again!"
Those survivors looked at each other in surprise. Wen Lu hugged Wen
Xiaotian and cried for a while. She wiped her tears and turned to those
survivors and said, "This is my sister."
One of the survivors gave a glance at Wen Xiaotian and asked, "Sister? I
remember you saying that your sister was in Jiangbei University."
Jiangbei, was actually far from there…
Under these circumstances, such a long distance, was naturally
impossible to travel for average people. Regardless of life or death, it
was a very normal thing for most people not to meet each other
anymore.
Wen Lu turned around and looked at Wen Xiaotian's face, staring at her
for a long time, and then burst out laughing. Then she asked, "Sister,
how did you come back? I thought I could not see you anymore."
www.asianovel.com
155
Wen Xiaotian was also extremely happy and pointed to the minibus
behind her and said, "It was Brother Jiang who drove me here from
Jiangbei."
"What?" Besides Wen Lu, all the survivors unbelievably looked at the
ropey minibus as well as the van. Could this kind of car be driven from
Jiangbei? And they thought "Who is Brother Jiang?"
Wen Xiaotian took Wen Lu to the front of the minibus and other
survivors were also curious to get together to see. Almost ten people
were separated by the windshield, looking at Jiang Liushi who was at the
driver’s seat waving to them.
Jiang Liushi felt a bit embarrassed. Although they did not say anything,
Jiang Liushi had understood something from their eyes. They would like
to ask, [Are you kidding me?]

Wen Lu stared and said, "You met them? How! Did they do anything to
you?" She anxiously asked.
"Nothing..." Wen Xiaotian told about their encounter to her sister.
Hearing Jiang Liushi decisively knocking them off, Wen Lu was stunned,
"My God..."
"You didn’t tell me, why did those people come to our house?" Wen
Xiaotian hurriedly asked.
Wen Lu had said the word "again". It was obvious that those people had
come before. Wen Xiaotian had witnessed their ruthlessness, so she was
worried about Wen Lu very much.
"They are coming for protection fee." Wen Lu frowned, looking disgusted
and said, "This group of people have a leader, who drove away the
zombies. As a result, they decided to ask protection fee from the
survivors. We felt that the environment was relatively safe, so the fee
was reasonable. However, they were too terrible and their demands
were unreasonable."
Then Wen Lu pulled a very dirty hat and scarves out from the bed and
said, "They have forced several girls to be their "girlfriends" before, and I
had no choice but to do the same..."
A pure girl had to go through... Wen Xiaotian felt angry and distressed.
"There was no other choice," Wen Lu helplessly said. Ordinary people
could not do anything in a world like that.
"You don’t have to say anything. Being alive is wonderful. Sister, did you
eat?" Wen Lu asked.
Downstairs, Wen Xiaotian saw those survivors quietly doing things.
Some were inspecting weapons, others were checking food. Most of the
food that they took out from the backpack were snacks with dirty bags,
all dusty, and many were flattened.
And even there were disgusting blood marks on some bags. A girl
wearing a glove holding a small pot, was cleaning these bags.
"Xiao Tian sister." This girl looked up and smiled, greeting Wen Xiaotian.
This girl was Aunt Li's daughter. But no wonder Wen Xiaotian did not
notice her before, her face was dirty, gray hair, which were not washed
for a long time.
www.asianovel.com
159
This was the only way to make the terrible guys have no thoughts on
them.
"Today's food was less and it was more difficult to collect." A middle-
aged man sorted out the food and then complained.
Another old man who looked sixty years old said, "We were pretty lucky.
Didn’t we today half bag of rice in a family’s house? This was a good
thing."
"Yes, but the half of it will be taken away, and the rest is enough to eat
for few days." the middle-aged man frowned.
"It's nice being able to eat for a few days," said the old man, who was an
optimist. And he said to Wen Xiaotian, "Today Lulu’s sister is here, and
it's a happy occasion to cook."
"This is not good..." Wen Xiaotian quickly stopped.
"Go and call that young man, to eat with us," said the old man, "I'll go
wash rice."
"Well, I will call him." Wen Lu was excited to go to the minibus
regardless if Wen Xiaotian was waving again and again.
Listening to their experience told by Wen Xiaotian, Wen Lu was quite
curious about Jiang Liushi.

dozen strange survivors. His car was full of food and gasoline, and raw
meat was stored in the van. In post-apocalypse environment, no one
could ensure absolute safety. Wen Lu did not give up and kept inviting
him for a few times. Seeing Jiang Liushi shaking his head, she had to
give up.
She was about to get off, but suddenly she remembered something. All
of a sudden, she came back, taking something out from her long
sleeves.
"Firstly we mistakenly believed that you were one of those terrible guys,
so we hastened to hide. You took care of my sister, so I must thank you.
Please keep it, do not say no!" Wen Lu without any explanation put
something to his hands.
Jiang Liushi was stunned for a moment. Seeing Wen Lu closely, in fact,
he found she looked very cute even if she had a dirty face. Jiang Liushi
chuckled seeing her bigger cheek, if he refused she would be angry.
"Ok, I will accept it," Jiang Liushi said.
This was actually a pack of biscuits, that had been crushed. But from the
residual temperature, it was clear that it was very precious to Wen Lu.
Although there was no shortage of food, Jiang Liushi took this package of
biscuits in his hand and treasured it.
"You don’t have much food?" Jiang Liushi asked.
"The food we collect is enough to eat, but those terrible guys are like
vampires sucking us dry," Wen Lu shook her head and said.
"Those terrible guys?"
"Yes, my sister told me that you also met the motorcycle group." Wen Lu
told everything to Jiang Liushi and did not forget to say, "Those people
are terrible and you worked off our anger. You are excellent! But they
indeed did something good. Originally, there were a lot zombies, but
their leader lead zombies to the small town suburbs."
"Oh? Lead the zombies?" Jiang Liushi was quitely interested in the leader
mentioned by Wen Lu. How were the zombies taken away by that
leader?
He felt that the town was strange as it had too little zombies, but did not
expect that they had been driven away.

the military. And this town was likely Jiang Liushi’s last hope for before
leaving for Nanjing City. Otherwise he could only continue collecting
from abandoned vehicles, it would be a waste of precious time.
"Gas station? Do you need to refuel?" Wen Lu looked at the minibus,
thinking that the fuel consumption of such a car would be extremely
large…
"Yes," he said, "I'm going to need a lot of gas."
"This..." Wen Lu exposed some embarrassed look and said, "You must
not go to the gas station, but there are a lot of abandoned cars on the
road. If you’re lucky, the you’ll refuel with the gas you need..."
www.asianovel.com
165
Chapter 31
Chapter 31
"Uh? The gas station is not available?" Jiang Liushi was stunned.
A surviving team like them was barely surviving under their control, they
would not take the initiative to get close to gas stations.
Jiang Liushi not only had clashed with them, but also had killed some of
them. He would be spotted by them.
Jiang Liushi pondered for a moment and asked, "What is the leader’s
name?"
www.asianovel.com
166
"You need gasoline, some car tanks must be available. But our town is
small, and the fuel tanks of most big trucks has long been taken by
them. We can get gasoline from small cars. I know it needs a lot of time,
but we have no other choice," Wen Lu said.
There were too many things that couldn’t be done after doomsday.
"That car is filled with a 100 liters of gasoline. I will help you search for
more. It may take three to four days," Wen Lu said.
Jiang Liushi felt helpless. 100 liters was a fraction of his fuel tank; that
was far from enough.
Jiang Liushi turned around and saw a few motorcycles appearing in his
field of vision.
Jiang Liushi loosened up, but the MCV was still in the state of "ready to
be launched".
Seeing that those people had no interest for this car, Wen Lu was also
relieved.
"Jiang brother, you stay in the car, and I will get off first," Wen Lu
whispered, and then secretly went back to the courtyard. The survivors
in the house had heard the noise and came out together. Standing at the
door, their faces were full of fear.
www.asianovel.com
167
The motorcycle guys were surprised to see the MCV, but they didn’t pay
too much attention. The leader of this group was a young man wearing a
leather jacket with yellow fibers hanging. He was dressed in the latest
fashion, before doomsday, and his shirt was custom made, with grand
words saying, ‘I am a bully’.
Jiang Liushi thought that the so-called ‘Yu Brother’ was a bully too. He
was in charge of the town, including the motorcycle gang, after
doomsday. No wonder those guys were all bullies.
"Ah!" Wen Xiaotian screamed. Wen Lu was anxious, she lowered her
voice and said, "Do not shout. Otherwise, you will be in trouble!"
Wen Xiaotian understood at once. She knew that those terrible guys
loved ravaging beautiful girls. There were no laws anymore. Indecent
assault on women was something that could occur even in a civilised
society, let alone after doomsday. Those bullies would become
aggravated.
The leader clamored, holding the iron bar. He was obviously enjoying the
feeling as a bully. Before the end of the world, his life was very unhappy.
Bullies were always called into the bureau for good education. But now,
he was like a cock on his dunghill. Those women who were high and
mighty before the end of the world, had been ravaged by him. He felt
just like a fish in the water in a world without any rules.
The survivors couldn’t revolt against them just because they were too
www.asianovel.com
168
weak. There dad been a group of people, who refused to give them food,
and even fought back. But later, ‘Yu Brother’ killed them all. It was said
that the scene was very tragic. Many people had been killed and
dismembered, just like they had been eaten by zombies.
Faced with such a powerful individual, ‘Yu Brother’, what could they do?
They took their grains out. The old man took out the half bag of rice,
with muddy eyes, as if it was his own life.
"F*cker! Old man! Hurry up! Go die!" Seeing the old man was unwilling
to give it, the guys in the leather jacket impatiently cursed.
The guy grabbed the rice bag, and almost pushed the old man down
with his strong arms.
"You, go and search!" The leader waved, and his minions burst into the
house.
Suddenly a burst of loud noises could be heard. Pots and pans were
knocked down. This group of people were like a group of locusts.
"OMFG! These bast*rds were cooking!" A minion’s voice came from the
house.
That old man was nervous. When the man with the leather jacket
viciously stared at him, he said: "Little brother, originally it was said that
we could separate the food in half..."
"F*ck! That was for dry food. Where did you get the guts to keep the
rice?" The man with the leather jacket said while his saliva splashed on
the old man's face.
"This… Little brother, please give us some rice. My grandson has a fever
at home..." The old man pleaded. His grandchild was only five years old.

Life was very fragile. It was easy to get sick if you were lacking nutrition.
Eating dry food every day was nothing to adults, but children had to eat
a lot of nutritious food in order to develop and survive.

minibuses’ iron sheet was thin. Hit by an iron bar, there would be traces
of deformation. How odd! This time, the leader exploded with anger.
"God d*mn you. Brothers let’s smash the car together! Pulling the
f*cking driver out from it, break his legs, and we will devide all the goods
on the minibus." The leader said. And then his brothers surged out of the
house immediately. One of the guys held a pot of washed rice. Seeing
the washed rice, the old man’s heart hurt. He thought the bullies were a
horde of fiendish monsters who comitted every conceivable crime and
were unpardonably wicked. All of the survivors, especially Wen Lu, were
scared about Jiang Liushi.
"Mr. Jiang!" Wen Lu was scared. She signaled wildly behind the bullies’
back, telling Jing to run away.
Seeing the bullies rush toward him, Jiang Liushi ignited the engine. Then
he put the minibus into reverse, jerked the wheel to the right, stepping
on the accelerator.
"The guy wants to escape! Pursue him." The leader jumped on his
motorcycle. All the bullies rode their motorcycles and shot forward like
rabbits, following Jiang Liushi.
It must be acknowledged that those bullies were all good at driving.
They were just like tigers and leopards. Jiang Liushi was besieged in all
directions.
"Guys, deflate the car’s tires." The leader shouted. The other bullies took
lots of welded pitons, throwing them to the ground.
Welding nails on a metal plate, they had made that secret weapon
themselves. It had strong destructive power. Even heavy trucks would
break down. Judging by their actions, they were underestimating Jiang
Liushi. Putting the minibus into reverse, Jiang Liushi was only afraid of
accidentally hurting the survivors. But now the space was enough. They
reached a narrow asphalted road, which was filled with abandoned cars
on one side. Jiang Liushi slammed on his brakes, shifting into forward
gear, and then sped up.
"Om…" The minibus rushed out like an enraged beast. Pushing its way
by shoving or humping, the minibus pulverized their secret weapons.
However, the minibus’ tires remained intact.

"Xiao Lu, we… How…" The old man holding a rice-pot trembled. He was
at a loss of what to do. He feared neither hardship nor death. He just
hated to part with his grandson, who was the only reason that kept him
alive. Doomsday had taken his family away...
Wen Lu gritted her teeth and said, "Grandpa Wang, please don’t worry
so much. It came down to the point where we would have to eventually
deal with it."
Although Wen Lu and Wen Xiaotian were sisters, Wen Lu had a stronger
personality.
Wen Lu have had enough of the bullies. And Jiang Liushi’s action had
elevated her spirit; it worked off her anger!
"Uncle Wang, what Wen Lu said is right. Life is not easy after doomsday.
We don’t know what tomorrow will bring. I wanted to beat the young
leader black and blue." A hot-blooded youth, about twenty, said. It was
hard to predict one’s chances of life or death after doomsday. Be it Yu
Brother or the zombies, their lives would be under constant danger any
way.
However, most of them were afraid. Zombies wouldn’t specifically
search for them, but Yu Brother would definitely take revenge! Jiang
Liushi, naturally, had listened to the conversation and looked at the hot-
blooded youth with quite different eyes. He was not really tall nor very
short, with fair skin. Although he’s a soft-spoken person, he was also
carefree and impulsive.
"Younger brother, would you mind helping me drug the leader?"
Jiang Liushi talked with the hot-blooded youth and gave him a bag of
chocolate chips, saying, "Enjoy it."
Jiang Liushi appreciated the hot-blooded youth. Moreover, Jiang Liushi
was unwilling to personally drag the guy. Nobody knew whether the
zombies would be attracted by his whining. Staying in the minibus was
the best choice for him, as he could adapt to circumstances. In addition,
he had enough mutant wild boar meat. Actually, he didn’t care about the
bag of chocolate.
However, that bag of chocolate was precious to the survivors. It was
extremely hard for them to collect food. And their best harvest had to be
www.asianovel.com

given to the bullies. As a result, they had no chance to eat such high-
calorie food. They already felt sick at the sight of biscuits and cheap
instant noodles. They wondered why Jiang Liushi could take out that
high-calorie food so easily.
The hot-blooded youth was excited. He hesitated, coveting, and said, "It
is not proper. I can’t accept it. I’m glad to drag him." The hot-blooded
youth’s reaction made Jiang Liushi feel delighted. So Jiang Liushi threw
him the bag of chocolate and said, "Take it. It is dangerous for anybody
to drag him back. Come on!"
Only then did the hot-blooded youth accepted the chocolate and said in
an embarrassed tone, "Well…Thank you!" The other survivors admired
him.
Then the hot-blooded youth ran to the leader’s side and pulled him
violently from his collar. The leader stared at the hot-blooded youth in a
vicious manner. However, to his surprise his ear was pinched by the hot-
blooded youth.
"You wanna die?" Then he was dragged toward the minibus with a
broken leg. He uttered a heartrending cry, but he was pinched again.
"Stop shouting! If you attract the zombies to our location, I will hang you
on the poles. You will be eaten starting from your lower body, little by
little!
After taking the bag of chocolate, the hot-blooded youth made all-out
efforts. The hot-blooded youth beat the leader very badly; he was
beaten black and blue.
There was no hospital to treat his busted leg, so he could only endure
the pain and wait to die because of infection. Even if he was lucky
enough to be treated, he would be killed sooner or later. His hatred
couldn’t be absolved anymore and he didn’t beg for mercy.
But now, the threat of the hot-blooded youth let him realize that he was
doomed to die. There was a great difference between to be tormented
and die. Jiang Liushi sitting in the minibus, sighed in admiration to the
hot-blooded youth’s ability of scaring others.
The leader was dragged in front of the minibus while a long blood trail
was left on the ground. Although he was extremely cruel and merciless,

corridor, and then he ran to the fourth floor. All the motorcycle gang’s
members were living in that building, and their boss, Yu lived in the
fourth floor.
Originally, there were some survivors, including the family who had been
living there. But when Yu Brother came here with the motorcycle gang,
they chose that building as their stronghold, and the naturally the
survivors had been kept as slaves.
The survivors there were all ordinary people and resistance was
impossible. As a result, an old man was almost killed, young women had
been ravaged, even little girls were ravaged too.
Those people had escaped from the zombies, but did not escape the
gang.
Yu lived in a little girl’s home on the fourth floor. Qiang Zi immediately
went to the door without, and then he took a deep breath before
opening it. The house was filled with smoke, the corner was filled with
beer, and all kinds of food. Several guys were gathered at a table
playing mahjong, surrounded by women.
One of the guys was short, but his exposed arm was very muscular. With
an ordinary appearance, he was far from being handsome. Even so, a
woman brought him a cigarette with a sweet smile, with a hint of fear in
her eyes. Seeing Qiang Zi coming in, those people didn't have much of a
reaction. The short man did not even look at him. Only a bald headed
guy glanced at him, and slowly said, "You didn't follow the rules. Where
is Xiao Liang? " As a matter of fact, Xiao Liang was the name of the
leader that had been caught.
Qiang Zi suddenly knelt down to the floor in front of the short man and
angrily said, "Yu Brother! Today, Liang brother took us to collect supplies
from the survivors, but a team of them refused to pay!"
"Duck soup! Stop fussing and do your job! Kill them all, you just need to
bring everything back. Did you need Yu Brother’s instructions for that?"
Another guy laughed. Actually, Yu turned his nose up at him. "Oh, I will
win."
Seeing those guys and Yu not caring about what he said, Qiang Zi
anxiously said, "At that time, Liang brother was going to kill them.

the car drove by. If the driver could stop in time, the tires would be safe;
if the driver could not stop, the tires would be destroyed.
However, the minibus kept moving like it was nothing. Yu had heard that
the tire nails were useless on the minibus, but he still wanted to give it a
try.
He stared at the door handle of the minibus, when the minibus brushed
against him, at a very fast speed, he suddenly jumped up. His speed was
really fast. Jiang Liushi just saw him through the rear view screen, then
felt the minibus bumping a bit, and then a "bang" followed with a face
sticking to the window.
Meanwhile, an "Om-" sound came, and a few motorcycles appeared on
the road. Jiang Liushi had just left the gas station and was surrounded by
those motorcycles, while more motorcycles rushed out their stronghold
one after another.
Those motorcycles that had been knocked down by Jiang Liushi had only
their speed affected, but they were still able to pursuit him. But Jiang
Liushi had no time to pay attention to those members because Yu was
hanging on his door.
Jiang Liushi and Yu suddenly looked each other…
Yu Brother viciously grinned and he stabbed with his bayonet at the
window.
He went for the soft underbelly of the window. Generally, for the sake of
safety, many cars were equipped with a car hammer. Once they fell into
water, the driver could use it to break the window to escape. Bayonets
could be used the way in order to break a car window.
Jiang Liushi wouldn’t let Yu pry the window, although his attempt would
not be successful, after all, Yu was a paranormal being. Moreover, the
MCV was just repaired, how could he let it be destroyed?
Jiang Liushi turned the steering wheel, and the minibus issued a harsh
friction sound on the cement road. Four white marks could be seen on
the ground because of the sudden turn. He stepped on the throttle, and
the minibus instantly moved or more precisely it drifted .
Drifting was a highly difficult technique. The driver actually dared to drift
the minibus? The scene shocked everyone. Jiang Liushi suddenly turned
www.asianovel.com
186
"Fuck*r! Go to hell!" 'Yu threw the frangible grenade, and then picked up
a Type 45 pistol from his waist with lightning speed. He aimed at the cab
window, where Jiang Liushi was clearly visible. The distance between the
two was less than 10 meters. Even if Yu was not a sharpshooter, after a
period of "practicing", his marksmanship was passable. At that distance,
he would like to shoot Jiang Liushi’s shoulder.
If he accidentally offset a little and hit Jiang Liushi’s neck or head, it
would be a pity. The general police gun’s purpose was to stop instead of
penetrating or killing. It was used to make prisoners lose their ability to
resist, rather than killing them, so it was not that lethal.
But the Type 54 pistol were different. In the entire police station, Yu
Brother had found the only Type 54 pistol. As a result, he didn’t let the
gun out of his sight.
The Type 54 pistol was a military pistol, which was nicknamed "Black
Star". It was manufactured for lethality purposes; with strong
penetrating force. It could easily shoot two people at close range. In a
certain distance, it could also penetrate bulletproof vests, a certain
thickness of brick walls and other obstacles.
This pistol was used by domestic police for more than 20 years. Later
www.asianovel.com
187
because of its excessive lethality it was eliminated and replaced with the
Type 64 pistol. Of course, the Type 54 pistol was still used at some
places.
Qiang Zi said that they couldn’t break the window after multiple
attempts, but Yu was not very concerned about that. He believed that
the strength of the iron bars couldn’t be compared with the Type 54
pistol.
"Go die!" Yu pulled the trigger without hesitation. Everything would be
settled in a second.
Jiang Liushi had probably been hit while he was immersed in his
temporary happiness...

Jiang Liushi from the ruined minibus, after the fire was extinguished. He
hoped that Jiang Liushi was still alive, or else, he couldn’t vent his anger.
However,he suddenly heard a "whining" sound. This sound was issued
by the minibus in front of him.
Yu was stunned, he was sure that he had hit him. "Didn’t he get
wounded?" At this moment, the minibus turned with its surface wrapped
in flames. It rushed toward Yu as a battalion-chariot of fire.
Yu could clearly see inside, through the windshield, that Jiang Liushi was
angrily staring at him!
There was no trace of a wound on him, not to mention splattered flesh
and blood. What Yu had expected did not happen, he was stunned while
holding the Type 54 pistol.
[How is this possible]" Seeing the minibus approaching, Yu exposed a
hideous look, he lifted the muzzle to Jiang Liushi’s face and fired at him!
All the bullets landed on the windshield, and then were all blocked! The
bullet holes were clearly visible, but Jiang Liushi was still unharmed;
even his expression had not changed!
"Boom!"
The minibus moved forward to crush Yu. Jiang Liushi noticed that Yu's
figure was near the minibus’ side, and he had not been hit. Even though
Yu had escaped from the minibus’ impact, he was already crazy. The
worn-out minibus was equipped with bulletproof glass! It could be
compared to spending hundreds of thousands of yuan just refitting a QQ
car!
[Who is the driver? What kind of person can drive such a minibus!?]
At this moment, the minibus seemed to have given up pursuing. It
turned direction, and then moved toward the most intensive area, the
one with the motorcycles. The gang members had approached the
minibus. When Yu had shot, they had also thrown frangible grenades.
Originally, these guys thought that they only needed to screen Yu’s
advance. It was an easy task without the slightest risk. But who could
have known, after the gunfire, that the minibus was not ruined, but it
had even become more violent. Yu failed to block the violent minibus, so
he could only dodge, as for some unlucky gang members they were

Although Yu’s nature was cruel, he was a coward in the face of death.
Originally, he was just a henchman and he was really unhappy with it;
not only he was scolded by his boss, but he also teased by, cause of his
height, by other henchmen. They often called him ‘shorty’ to mock him,
which made him feel humiliated.
So, after doomsday, he felt very satisfied with his current life! He felt
that all those years of suffering were worth it. Before, the quality of his
life left much to be desired. But now, he felt like a fish in water.
However, as he was enjoying his current life, reality kicked in, and this
reality came into being by a shabby minibus and its driver. He felt like
he was going to suffocate from anger and the shame brought by Jiang
Liushi. He actually vowed to kill Jiang Liushi, otherwise, Yu would feel
ashamed for the rest of his pitiful life.
So, while Jiang Liushi was still driving and trying to extinguish the fire, Yu
took the chance and sneaked in a heavy truck, which was parked at the
gas station.
[Is the minibus really that good at crashing people? Then I’ll give it
something to crash! Like hell the minibus can contend against this heavy
truck!]
"Boom—" Yu stepped on the throttle.
Seeing Yu rushing with that heavy truck toward him, Jiang Liushi was
shocked. That heavy truck was like a monster made of steel, just seeing
it reaching full speed could make one’s hair stand on end. Jiang Liushi
clearly knew that he wouldn’t be killed by such a heavy truck, but his
MCV would certainly be damaged seriously.
Under normal circumstances Yu’s strategy would succeed, but Jiang
Liushi’s minibus wasn’t ordinary. It was a MCV, which had a function of
instant acceleration that would be enough to let him to escape or
change directions. However, Jiang Liushi did not press the accelerate
button. It was easy to escape, but that way, he had no chance to come
back.
On the contrary, Jiang Liushi stepped on the throttle against the
incoming heavy truck. It was a dangerous move, but it was also an
www.asianovel.com
193
excellent opportunity to kill Yu! Jiang Liushi focused on the heavy truck,
and Starseed provided him with the changes of their distance.
Noticing the minibus had not run away, but it even rushed toward him,
Yu sneered, [Haha, this guy is over-confident. I will kill you! Go die!]
He couldn’t wait to send Jiang Liushi to death, just imaging it made him
really excited!
Those motorcycle members were all looking at this scene, and they all
thought that this minibus’ driver was completely crazy. It’s like an egg
dashing against a rock. It was possible that Jiang Liushi knew that he
couldn’t escape, so he took the suicide option in order not suffer in case
he was caught.
However, Jiang Liushi was really calm, he listened to the Starseed and
waited for the right moment to take action.
[It's now!] Jiang Liushi suddenly pressed a button.
[Ten! Nine! Eight!]
The distance between them had shortened so much that they could see
each other's face.
Jiang Liushi saw Yu grinning, laughing and shouting a sentence. Looking
at his mouth, it should be, "Go die!"
But Jiang Liushi did not say anything, he was focused on the countdown.
[Three! Two! One!]
The distance between the two cars was less than ten meters.
"Bang!" A devastating sound came from the minibus. Yu’s face was
deathly pale and numb, he hadn’t any time to move even a facial
muscle. The heavy truck came to a sudden stop because the Air Cannon
had cleanly hit it. The windshield had been destroyed just with the sound
waves, the truck’s front deformed before recognition, Yu’s head was
nowhere to be seen while his body was deforming with the car’s front.
As for the trailer, it was still moving because of its weight.
The force of the impact was so terrifying that he front and the trailer
were squeezed together.
"Bang, Bang, Bang!"
A series of explosions followed!

accidents.
Jiang Liushi naturally did not have any experience with the Type 54
pistol. But when he was a child, he was always playing with an air-gun,
and before his parents passed away, he had been brought to a shooting
hall once. Of course, after so long, he felt it was very strange, but he still
remembered the basics.
After making sure that the gun had its safety on, Jiang Liushi was more
at ease. Picking up the Type 54 pistol, he could feel a glimmer of hope;
there may be other things around like the pistol. He was very patient
and searched for a while. Unfortunately, except from blood and debris,
he did not find anything useful, so he returned to the minibus and drove
to the gas station again.
This time, no one would bother him while he was refueling. The whole
town’s gasoline was stored there, thanks to Yu and his gang. But who
would have thought that Jiang Liushi would be the one who benefitted in
the end.
Jiang Liushi parked the MCV and activated the automatic refueling
device, which immediately stretched out and connected with the
refueling gun. Suddenly, a large amount of gasoline was continuously
filling the MCV’s fuel tank.
1000L, 1500L, 2000L…
Finally, a full 10000L!
At last, the fuel tank was full, this made Jiang Liushi feel extremely
comfortable and relieved.
It was extremely difficult for him to collect the amount of 10000L just
from abandoned cars. Finally, the MCV could be operated fully and use a
variety of functions. He could drive the MCV to Nanjing Town with
complete confidence. But he was not satisfied, so he went to inside the
gas station, and found a fuel tank car, which was filled with gasoline. He
was delighted and connected it to the minibus.
Having dragged the fuel tank car, Jiang Liushi had no other way to store
more gasoline, so he had to give up on the rest of it. That town was not
far from Nanjing Town, so if he couldn’t find gasoline, he could also
return.

After refueling, Jiang Liushi drove towards the motorcycle gang’s base...

Although there was a low possibility that there were other members in
the building, he was still very careful.
…
In the fourth floor, those women had been watching everything that
happened through the window. They were tightly holding each other's
hands, with nervous expressions, as they had heard Jiang Liushi’s
approaching footsteps. They were afraid for their lives, as they had seen
Jiang Liushi killing one after the other gang members, Yu’s truck being
completely crashed and massacring zombies, if this could be recorded
then it would have been made into a suspenseful book.
Witnessing all this, they were feeling incredible, who would have thought
that a seemingly ragged minibus could be so strong, it had even
reduced Yu into a meat pie. That arrogant, strong, fiendish monster, the
great ‘Yu Brother’, who had perpetrated every conceivable crime and
was unpardonably wicked, charging the whole town, was actually killed!
Without even a body to be buried!
[Are we dreaming?] That’s what all had thought. They were unable to
react as the minibus was killing everything in its path. It was like a
raging beast, annihilating the rest of the motorcycle members.
[Those hateful vicious motorcycle members, who were cruel as wolves,
were completely wiped out in a few minutes?]
Those women had been all forced into sex slaves and robbed of their
dignity, so they had a deep-seated hatred for the motorcycle members.
Witnessing the horrible and appalling scene, they could hardly bear the
sight of it, it was rather hard to swallow. Furthermore, after killing all the
zombies and motorcycle members, the minibus had driven back to the
heavy truck.
They saw Jiang Liushi getting off the minibus, wearing an ordinary black
T-shirt, and a pair of jeans, looking very young. According to everything
that had happened, they had originally thought that the minibus’ driver
should be very fierce, but it was actually a young man.
Then they saw the young man climbing up the heavy truck's cab and
pulling the pistol from Yu's hand. It was that moment when they made
sure that Yu was really dead, he had been killed by that young person!
www.asianovel.com
203
"He is… he killed Yu, he... His age seems like Xiao Rou’s." A slightly older
woman said in a trembling voice.
Among them, Xiao Rou was the youngest, only eighteen years old. After
doomsday, her parents died, so she and her twelve-year-old brother
depended on each other for survival. But later, they found it really hard
to survive. Both Xiao Rou and her brother, were sickly. At the same time,
hunger and disease tortured them, which made them despair more. To
make things worse, they were imprisoned by the motorcycle gang, then
they were forced, tortured and ravaged. Coupled with her brother’s
critical condition, Xiao Rou finally threw away her dignity in order to
have a meal, a box of medicine…
She had sold her own dignity and felt very dirty. As a result, almost
every night, she had been waking up from nightmares with tears.
But…She had no other choice. The world had changed, only the strong
had power. She had to adapt, or choose to die with her brother. She had
despaired and wanted to commit suicide several times, but she couldn’t
give up on her brother. So today, seeing Yu being killed like a cockroach
that had been flattened, her inner feelings could not be described. With
her hands holding her shoulders, she couldn't stop her tears, from
flowing.
She was desperately wiping the tears, but they still hadn’t stopped. She
looked at the door. Listening footsteps were getting closer, she knew
that Jiang Liushi had come...
Although, she was inexplicable afraid, there was also a trace of
excitement. She did not know what her fate would be in the end.
Jiang Liushi spent about ten minutes reaching the fourth floor. Just as he
arrived on the fourth floor, he heard a sound coming from the residence.
He moved slowly to the door, holding his gun, and then suddenly kicked
the door.
"Don’t move!" Shouting those lines, Jiang Liushi felt as if he was playing
in a movie.
Inside the room, several women were standing together, facing the door,
as if they had been waiting for him. Seeing the door being kicked as well
as the gun, they couldn’t help but tremble with fear.

deal with us?" That woman seemed in her early twenties, she was
chubby and beautiful. In fact, the women in this room were almost all
young and beautiful, some looked pure, or full of sexiness.
In the girl’s mind, it was likely that this young would control their fate.
With a group of prettily women in the room without any resistance, it
was extremely hard for any man not to be tempted.
But looking at Jiang Liushi who was young and handsome, they thought
that he was much better than Yu. If he was not too cruel, it wouldn’t be a
bad thing for them to follow him, in such a world, women like them
needed to rely on the strong to survive. However, Jiang Liushi was too
lazy to answer the girl in red. He glanced at all the women in the
residence, and then looked at Xiao Rou.
It was not because Xiao Rou’s appearance, but because she looked very
weak, so there was no harm in asking her.
"You." He pointed Xiao Rou with the gun, "Come here!" He looked really
fierce
"Me..." Suddenly called by Jiang Liushi, Xiao Rou’s state changed
slightly... She bit her lips, and walked to Jiang Liushi. After Yu’s death,
she hoped for the best and was prepared for the worst...
She obediently went in front of Jiang Liushi, she closed her eyes while
her eyelashes were gently trembling, and her hand subconsciously
clenched. Her knuckle became slightly white because of the tension. She
knew that any resistance was useless.
"Why did you close your eyes?" He asked. He couldn’t understand the
girl’s inexplicable action. "Do you know where the supplies were
placed?" he asked. Yu had been robbing people, so he should have a big
amount of accumulated supplies
"Ah?" Xiao Rou was stunned for a moment, opening her eyes, and then
she lifted her hand pointing to one of the rooms. It was not her time to
meet God yet.
[This person, just asked about the supplies?]
"Open the door." Jiang Liushi shouted.
"There are… Locked... "Xiao Rou timidly replied. Hearing that, Jiang
www.asianovel.com
206
Liushi went straight to the door, lifting the muzzle, aiming at the
keyhole, and then he stood aside.
"Bang!" A gunshot was fired. Jiang Liushi felt that his arm was shocked a
bit, by the gun’s recoil.
He was holding the gun very hard, so the recoil did not cause the muzzle
shake much.
"Ah," those women screamed covering their ears.
The door lock was knocked off, so Jiang Liushi kicked the door open. The
carefully locked storage room was opened in a very violent way. After
opening the door, Jiang Liushi checked the situation, and then walked in
while those women looked at him in panic.
Going into the room, Jiang Liushi was left speechless. That room was
simply a warehouse, it was filled with all kinds of supplies from the floor
to the ceiling. There was a refrigerator, which was filled with a variety of
fresh food.
Jiang Liushi’s current staple food was of course the variable pork, but
these vegetables could be used to improve its taste. This kind of food
could only come by luck, someone would have to spare a lot of time
searching for it after doomsday. However, Jiang Liushi couldn’t bring...
Yu had put the stronghold next to the gas station, and his freezer relied
on generators to operate for twenty-four hours, so the food could be
kept fresh. Jiang Liushi would like to take those good things as much as
possible.
Thinking that Jiang Zhuying was still hidden in the house without
electricity, just eating dry food, Jiang Liushi intended to bring some fresh
food for her.
Once he thought of this, he was extremely eager to upgrade the storage
space. If the MCV’s storage space was large enough, he could take more
refrigerated food away.
Those vacuum packaging food was also adequate, such as ham, bacon,
pulled rabbit and so on. In fact, Jiang Liushi’s food storage had been
enough. But Jiang Liushi knew clearly that it would be more and more
difficult to collect food in the future.
Although those foods were not as good as mutant meat, they were really
www.asianovel.com
207
tasty. Jiang Liushi always believed the more, the better. He searched
some more and found another box, which was stored in the corner and
packed properly.
He opened the box, and was delighted. This box was filled with things
collected from the police station, those things very valuable to him.
There were two pieces of body armor, police electric batons, lots of
bullets as well as a police helmet. Those things were very useful,
especially the body armor and bullets. With the body armor, Jiang Liushi
could feel safer. And the bullets could make sure that the gun in his
hands didn’t become scrap.
Jiang Liushi’s combat effectiveness relied on his MCV, but when he went
off the car, he needed other methods to protect himself.
Jiang Liushi decided to take the whole box away. His original physical
strength was pretty good. After eating the mutant meat, he had become
stronger. Carrying the supplies he needed, he had climbed stairs several
times, and still felt full of vigor.
Those women stood in the corner, silently watching Jiang Liushi take
those goods downstairs.

Wen Xiaotian was extremely worried because she had heard most of
Yu’s atrocious actions from the survivors. She was really worried about
Jiang’s safety, if it wasn’t for him, Wen Xiaotian would not be able to
come back.
Wen Xiaotian hoped that Jiang Liushi would put his own safety first. It
didn’t really matter if Jiang Liushi was able to kill Yu or not, either way
the rest of the motorcycle members would target them in order to take
revenge. Only if Jiang Liushi had the ability to capture all the motorcycle
members in one go would they be really safe. That feeling of
desperation and helplessness was common to most of the survivors…
Wen Lu put her hand in her pocket, secretly holding a dagger. She
clearly knew how Yu treated those who dare to resist him or his
underlings, so she didn’t plan on giving them a chance to torture her.
Thinking about this, Wen Lu felt her hand holding the knife was in
slightly trembling. Soon they will have their answer, but right now, every
passing moment seemed endless.
"Woo!" Suddenly, the roaring sound of the engine came. All the
survivors, including Wen Lu and Wen Xiaotian were so nervous that their
hearts raced like crazy.
They moved to the window, and at the same time were terrified of what
they were about see. Wen Lu strengthened her grip on the dagger, and
Wen Xiaotian tightly clenched her fists.
"Jiang brother!" Wen Lu suddenly shouted.
Outside of the courtyard, the minibus was dragging a fuel tank car, with
www.asianovel.com
212
a lot of sacks on its roof, slowly moving to the entrance, and then
stopped. Wen Lu put the dagger aside, and rushed toward the door. She
could not wait to learn what had happened.
Wen Xiaotian was still staring the minibus, she was extremely worried,
but she felt relieved to see that Jiang Liushi was fine. She felt like she
was dreaming.
The survivors had not reacted at all till Wen Lu ran out of the courtyard.
"Hurry up!"
"What happened?"
The minibus had appeared without being followed by the motorcycle
gang, also dragging a fuel tank car. What had happened was pretty
obvious. But even so the survivors had a hard time to swallow it.
Soon, they surrounded the vehicle so that they could hear Jiang Liushi
explaining what had happened. Jiang Liushi had left some details out, as
his ‘Air Cannon’, and also told them that they could take over the
motorcycle gang’s stronghold, which had supplies that could sustain
them for a while.
It was really hard to accept it, as Yu was the personification of despair in
their minds. Nobody had dared to resist him, till Jiang Liushi appeared.
He had single-handedly exterminated the whole gang, it was
inconceivable. Looking at the minibus, they could see several bullet
holes on the windshield, but the bullets had not penetrated the glass!
Furthermore, Jiang Liushi was safe and sound, so they were finally
convinced that what Jiang Liushi had said was true. At last, they were
finally freed from the motorcycle gang’s shadow.
The survivors felt like they had gained a new life.
That old man came out from the house, standing behind the crowd,
listening to Jiang’s words, with his hands trembling. He bitterly wept, it
was normal to cry. He was in a state of anxiety for several days. And
after today’s events, he had decided that if his grandson were to die, he
would accompany him.
However, everything was about to change. They could live in a more
secure place and have better chances at surviving.
In the future, they wouldn’t suffer the gang’s torture, they were deeply

grateful.
But Jiang Liushi told them that he was going to leave soon. His gasoline
tank was filled, and everything was ready. Jiang Liushi could not wait to
go Nanjing City.
Wen Xiaotian and Wen Lu had been reunited. But he was still quite
worried about Jiang Zhuying. This town was not far from Nanjing City.
Jiang Liushi would resume his journey after he had moved the survivors
to the stronghold.
Hearing Jiang Liushi’s decision, the survivors were all shocked.
"Saying that we are thankful is an understatement. We are indebted to
you for your help." Wen Lu had a quick tongue and always said what she
thought.
Wen Lu would like to repay Jiang Liushi for his kindness, Wen Xiaotian
would like to do so eagerly. The survivors felt the same.
Although Jiang Liushi wouldn’t accept any gifts, at least, they could
prepare several good meals for him…
"No, thanks." Jiang Liushi said. From the start his goal was to collect
gasoline. Saving these people wasn’t his original intention, it was
something that occurred along the way.
"You have to be careful… Oh, I almost forgot..." Jiang Liushi suddenly
remembered something. He told them about Xiao Rou and the others.
Wen Lu immediately said that there was no problem, she could relate
with them.
Jiang Liushi insisted on leaving, and then he marked the gas station on
the map. Later if he could not find gasoline, he could return.
Nanjing’s gasoline perhaps had already been taken away by the military.
Although he had taken as much gasoline as possible he may have to
face a situation that he lacked gasoline
If these survivors moved to the gas station, they could help him watch
the gas station. Seeing the Wen sisters as well as other survivors eager
to repay him, Jiang Liushi made that demand. They immediately
accepted. As a matter of fact, they felt extremely happy to help Jiang
Liushi.
The Wen sisters kept waving their hands and saying goodbye. Although

they didn’t get along with each other in the past, they were reluctant to
part.
Sitting in the MCV, Jiang Liushi opened Nanjing's map...

Chapter 46
The small town was several kilometers away from Nanjing City. Jiang
Liushi drove along the way at a steady speed. Getting closer to Nanjing,
more and more abandoned vehicles appeared on the road.
A sedan was in the way, so Jiang Liushi crushed on it to remove it from
the road. Half of the driver’s body was hanging out of the window, while
his other half was nowhere to be found, it had clearly been ripped apart
by some zombies.
Inside and outside of abandoned vehicles, body parts were lying around.
Crashed skulls, leaked brain matter, half-eaten corpses, severed limbs,
intestines and every grotesque thing somebody could imagine could be
found, accompanied by pools of blood and an unpleasant smell.
Although he had seen a lot of bodies, seeing that bloody scenery, he still
felt nauseated. Jiang Liushi’s mind was weighed down with anxiety.
Those cars had been moving toward the town’s direction. Although they
had tried their best to escape, they still suffered misfortune. There were
so many abandoned vehicles, so it was obvious that the zombies’
number was large.
The situation wasn’t optimistic, Jiang Liushi had originally thought that
he would only have to worry about the zombies inside the city, but he
was gravely mistaken. He felt utterly dispirited and depressed about
Nanjing City.
The minibus kept hitting abandoned cars that were parked on the road.
Other than the crashing sounds, nothing else could be heard. Soon, Jiang
Liushi found some buildings along the roadside, so he drove slowly.

The shop facades along the street were dilapidated with fragmentized
windows covered by blood. A small hotel’s door was still shaking back
and forth, but there was no zombie.
After a while Jiang Liushi could see a railway station. It was a small site,
and the railway station was not large. One could easily see a high-speed
train stopped on the bridge. Another part of a train was off the rails,
hanging on the bridge.
Two carriages were filled with tanks as well as military trucks. It was a
military train.
Jiang Liushi had only seen that kind of train in the news before, but he
did not expect he could see two military trains with his own eyes.
Thinking about Jiang Zhuying being unable to buy a train ticket, Jiang
Liushi suddenly understood these trains were used to transport military
supplies in order to cope with doomsday.
And the two trains had encountered the outbreak of doomsday in the
transport process, and then they had to stop there.
While driving, Jiang Liushi observed those cold tanks and military trucks
on the military trains. There were good sources of steel as well as a
variety of materials!
Looking at these things, Jiang Liushi’s mind was agitated. His MCV was
like a bottomless pit, it needed all kinds of materials. Moreover, those
materials used in tanks and military trucks were all of high quality.
However, Jiang Liushi could do nothing except watch.
At this time, Jiang Liushi suddenly heard a poignant sound coming from
the carriage.
The whole area, including this train station, was extremely quiet. That
sound instantly made Jiang Liushi nervous. He paid no more attention to
the tanks and trucks, and focused on the carriage.
"Bang!" Another sound came.
Then a face was close to the train’s window, with a pair of red eyes
frantically staring at the inside of the minibus. That zombie was wearing
a uniform, it should have been a soldier, or responsible for escorting.
"Ao-aooooo!"
A large number of zombies suddenly rushed out from the train's’ doors.

These zombies were in a mad rush to be first, jumping directly from the
bridge, and then rushing toward the minibus. Looking at the black mass
of the zombies, Jiang Liushi was shocked. He did not expect that so
many zombies had hidden in that compartment.
There were, at least, hundreds of zombies. He did not worry about the
zombies rushing toward the minibus, but if his food and gasoline were
destroyed by them, it would be a disaster.
He did not wait for the zombies to reach him, so he stepped on the
throttle, and the minibus suddenly sped up.
Meanwhile, a zombie in the front had been only a few meters away, it
ferociously rushed toward the minibus, but was sent flying by the
speeding minibus.
After a while, a lot of zombies caught up with his minibus, and it was
almost submerged in the zombie group, but Jiang Liushi was stepping on
the throttle, regardless of the zombies, he would not stop at all.
It took more than a thousand meters to outrun the zombie group. But
those zombies were not willing to give up. However, that distance had
no threat to him.
Looking from the rearview mirror, Jiang Liushi realized that even if he
had a way to remove the steel, it would be impossible for him to get
them. Fortunately, he hadn’t left the MCV to go search…
He decided to drive away from public places as far as possible. It was
simply a large zombie nest.
Through this surprise attack, Jiang Liushi found that the zombies had
hiding tendencies. Although there were many zombies wandering in the
streets, there were more hidden in every corner. Once people entered
these buildings, they were doomed to die.
He was more worried about Jiang Zhuying, who was hiding in the house.
She may not be able to stay away from the zombies.
Even though she had hidden in the house, the zombies were just outside
of the door…

tired. But when he saw a housing estate, he was as happy as a lark. The
Lan Yuan estate was just the address that Jiang Zhuying had given him.
That housing estate was next to Jiang Zhuying’s university, only a small
alley separated them.
Jiang Liushi slowed down, driving slowly towards the housing estate.
Seeing the gate house filled with blood, and the ground with a lot of
dragging marks, Jiang Liushi was increasingly nervous. In fact, he had
seen that scene many times along the way, but this time he felt really
uneasy. The situation of the housing estate was the same as other
places, it was extremely miserable, everywhere was wrecked and
bloody.
Jiang Liushi drove very slowly trying not to make much noise. Although
those buildings looked very quiet, they were certainly filled with
zombies.
"Woo!" A zombie suddenly rushed from the side of a flower bed, and for
its bad luck, it was crashed under the minibus’ wheel. Slightly shaking a
bit, Jiang Liushi continued driving, while vigilantly looking at both sides
of those buildings. He was looking for Jiang Zhuying’s building.
[The 17th...17…] Jiang Liushi looked at the numbers hanging on the
external walls. The 17th was relatively close to the door, but the location
was relatively remote, which was advised repeatedly by Jiang Liushi. The
road conditions were generally more complex, and the road was narrow.
If encountered a vehicle block, just the sound of cleaning the obstacles
may attract all the zombies. As a result, the geographic position was of
great importance.
Jiang Liushi had decided to find Jiang Zhuying at the fastest speed, and
then leave with her immediately.
Soon, he found the 17th building...
Jiang Liushi turned around and looked at the phone next to him. He had
specially prepared that phone as a measure to lure out zombies. He had
opened the music player application and adjusted the volume to a
relatively small value.
Arriving downstairs, Jiang Liushi opened the MCV window a bit. Pressing
the play button of the phone, he threw it on the floor of the door, and
www.asianovel.com

then drove the MCV back out of a distance. He was waiting for zombies
to appear, in order to kill them. .
To find Jiang Zhuying, Jiang Liushi had to get off, but just the bulletproof
vest, helmet, and pistol were simply not enough to protect him, not to
mention Jiang Zhuying. Therefore, Jiang Liushi had long thought of that
method. He would like to attract all the zombies with the cell phone and
killed them at once.
After waiting for several seconds, Jiang Liushi saw a shadow tumbling
down the stairs. It had worked!
The zombie spotted Jiang Liushi further away and was staring at him
with its red eyes. It suddenly rushed toward the MCV, it flung itself at
Jiang Liushi with bared fangs to rip him in pieces. But Jiang Liushi was
still calm and collected. He held his horses…
But there was no sign of other zombies, so Jiang Liushi was confused.
[Uh? Was there only this zombie in the building? Or are other zombies
locked in other rooms?]
[Excellent!] Jiang Liushi waited patiently for a moment. After confirming,
he rushed out quickly with his MCV.
"Bang!" The ferocious zombie was killed at once.
Jiang Liushi carefully drove the MCV to the unit door, he then put on a
helmet, took a plier and the Type 54 pistol, getting off the minibus.
Music may not be able to attract zombies on the fifth floor, so he picked
up the phone, which continued to play music. Once zombies appeared,
he could prepare in advance and return to the minibus.
The elevator had long been unable. Moving toward it, Jiang Liushi
suddenly heard a noise. There were some zombies inside hitting the
door. Jiang Liushi was shocked, but he regained his wits and carefully
walked toward the stairs. Although he hadn’t found any other zombies,
he was very cautious.
The corridor was dark, only Jiang Liushi’s gentle footsteps echoed. Jiang
Zhuying lived on the top. He arrived at the fourth floor, he put the phone
to the ground, and then returned to the third floor, holding the pistol
tightly aiming at the corridor.
Waiting for a while, no zombie had appeared, he went back and picked

[Jiang Zhuying must have kept her promise, she knew that I’d come for
her. If it was not something important, she would be waiting here. But
now she has disappeared just leaving a few words. What happened?]
Jiang Liushi was extremely worried, he searched the whole house but did
not find anything else left by his sister. He could only take that t-shirt
back to his MCV.
Probably because of blood’s smell, some zombies had been wandering
out of the other buildings. Jiang Liushi carefully rushed to the MCV, and
then back to his cab.
He had failed finding his sister and she hadn’t left any other useful
information. He intended to wait out of her building for some time. Even
if he was anxious, because Nanjing City was too large, he could not rush
to search for her; it was same as looking for a needle in the ocean.
If she hadn’t appeared a few days later, then he’d go and look for her.
There was no way he’d kill the zombies outside, as it would attract more,
so he decided to ignore them. He left the driver’s seat and headed to the
living room to relax a bit.
Outside the MCV, zombies were wandering, but it didn’t matter to Jiang
Liushi, he could cook meals, watch a drama and so on. As long as he
didn’t make any noise, those zombies simply would not find him.
The way those zombies treated his phone let Jiang Liushi confirm that he
was safe, not to mention that the minibus an impregnable fortress to
those zombies. But he was still cautious for security reasons.
He was only worried about Jiang Zhuying. If she didn’t appear, what kind
of method should be used to find her? It was impossible for him to
search every place one by one. Perhaps finding some survivors to ask
was a good way. And it may even need to record his words and use a
bullhorn...
Jiang Liushi thought about a variety of measures while he was looking at
the T-shirt on sofa. He was quite familiar with his sister's character.
Although she was vivacious, at home she was still very sensible.
Because Jiang Liushi had always taken care of her, she was always
serious when it came to her brother’s words. If she encountered a
difficult situation, she’d tell her brother immediately.

As Jiang Liushi heard that they would touch the van, he was unable to
bear with it. When he was about open the door, he recognized a familiar
voice.
"The license plate is from Jiangbei!" A surprised voice expressed.
Meanwhile, Jiang Liushi was astonished.
He quickly and rushed to the cab and looked through the windshield.
There were five or six people standing outside the minibus. Among
them, Jiang Liushi immediately found Jiang Zhuying.
Jiang Zhuying was dressed in a simple denim shorts and a large jacket
with a plain white T-shirt inside. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail,
making her look very smart and youthful. She was staring at the minibus
with an iron rod in her hand.
Making eye contact with Jiang Liushi, Jiang Zhuying opened her eyes
widely out of shock. Her eyes were always so big, and her lips turned
into the shape of an O.
Then she called out, "Brother!"
...
Surprise was evident in their faces, and they kept staring at Jiang Liushi.
[Jiang Zhuying’s brother?!]
Those people were filled with astonishment, but Jiang Liushi was as
shocked as them. He didn't expect that Jiang Zhuying was among that
group of people.
But more unexpected was that after his sister’s calling, the male voice
rang again "OMG, boss, he is your brother!"
The man, seemed to be twenty years old, he was dressed in a casual
way, holding a long knife in his hand. His expression was one of a kind,
while looking at Jiang Liushi he couldn’t hide how amazed he was.
It was even more unbelievable for Liushi. "The boss", he had heard
earlier, turned out to be his own sister...
Jiang Liushi was incredibly staring at his sister who was staring back at
him with the same amazement.
…
"Boss’s brother came from Jiangbei, alone, driving such a bus." The man
holding a knife stayed outside with others. In order to give space to the
www.asianovel.com
231
siblings, that had just met each other, they left them alone.
Among those people, a curly-haired girl glared at him and said in a low
voice, "Do you wanna die? You speak so loudly that Zhuying may hear
what you’re saying."
"It doesn’t matter." The man didn’t worry and kept observing the bus.
That curly-haired girl was very embarrassed, because all of her ironic
words about the minibus were clearly heard by Jiang Zhuying, and
probably her brother.
All of them thought that Jiang Zhuying’s brother had no chance of
leaving Jiangbei, not to add reaching Jinling [1]. In fact, Jiang Zhuying
had been trying to find an opportunity to go back to Jiangbei. Nobody
could have thought that Jiang Liushi would actually reach Jinling, and
with such a beaten-up vehicle.
"The car seems to have been refitted. So clever!" The young man
mumbled.
The curly-haired girl rolled her eyes for the young man, who she had
been unsatisfied with for a long time. But she also noticed what the
young man said. At first, she didn't care about that old car, but now her
interest was piqued after knowing it was Jiang Zhuying brother’s car.
However, she didn’t find out anything particular. To be honest, she was
more interested in Jiang Liushi.
"Perhaps Zhuying’s brother is very awesome, too." The curly-haired girl
said. The young man and the others totally agreed.
"That’s really awesome." The young man began to praise again. Among
them, Jiang Liushi also saw a muscular tall man carrying an axe with a
fierce appearance.
"This kind of person is obedient to you." Jiang Liushi turned his head
from the window and looked at Jiang Zhuying.
They had been talking for more than ten minutes, and in those ten
minutes they asked each other questions, but most of the time belonged
to Jiang Zhuying speaking to him.
Jiang Liushi was surprised at his sister's situation. The Starseed had only
told him that Jiang Zhuying would not mutate into a zombie, but other
than that he knew nothing of Zhuying’s future.

Jiang Zhuying’s situation was not what he had expected. His sister had
become a paranormal being.
After discovering her special ability, Jiang Zhuying began practicing. But
after a period, Jiang Zhuying found that she had to leave her shelter.
She then started gathering those survivors and became their leader. As
for her title as "boss", it was due to her personal interest.
"What do you mean you had to leave? What's the reason for that? "Jiang
Liushi asked.
Jiang Zhuying pouted and thought for a while, and then said, "Too
difficult to explain. You will know later."
