Chapter 476: Brother, I Can Protect You Now

Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave

Jiang Liushi was silently watching this scene, while some pleasant memories of their childhood resurfaced in his mind. When they were little kids, his cute little sister would hide behind him most of the times, but sometimes she liked to act mischievously and bully other little boys. He had never expected that his precious sister would obtain such a powerful ability.

At that moment Starseed's notification sounded, 'Level-2 energy fluctuation has been detected.'

'Great!' Jiang Liushi was delighted that things were better than he expected. His sister had successfully become a level-2 paranormal!

Generally speaking, a single level-2 paranormal could establish an organization on their own. If she wanted to join the military, she could become an excellent and valiant general. In other words, her status and prestige would not be any less than exceptional figures such as Li Yinqiang, Lu Changfei, and Leopard.

Jiang Liushi was looking forward to his sister's development.

'Chi-'

Suddenly, all the currents disappeared instantly at the fingertips of Jiang Zhuying. Jiang Zhuying looked around and stared at her brother as she had just woken from a long dream.

"Brother!" Jiang Zhuying said. She had not spoken for a long time due to her long slumber, so her voice sounded a little hoarse.

"Zhuying, do you feel any discomfort?" Jiang Liushi sat down with Jiang Zhuying and asked.

"No, I feel very well." Jiang Zhuying shook her head and looked at her palm. She had clearly sensed the difference in the release of the electrical currents. "I have evolved." Jiang Zhuying said excitedly, "Brother, I can protect you again."

Jiang Liushi smiled and stretched out his hand. Jiang Zhuying immediately shrank her neck in a conditioned reflex.

However, Jiang Liushi did not knock her head but touched it gently. "I'll be counting on you then."

Jiang Zhuying nodded and smiled. In this post-apocalyptic world, her brother was her only family member. Fortunately, they were able to reunite after doomsday. Jiang Zhuying knew clearly that her brother was her only hope.

And then Jiang Liushi teased her. "You are already a level-2 paranormal, but you still act like a spoiled child."

"Why not? A level-2 paranormal is also a human being," Jiang Zhuying stared at her brother and said happily.

After a few minutes, Jiang Liushi opened the door. Li Yuxin and the others came in at once. Li Yuxin checked Jiang Zhuying's condition and asked about the situation.

Jiang Zhuying was well-aware that Li Yuxin had been taking care of her while she had been sleeping, so the moment Li Yuxin entered Jiang Zhuying gave her a hug.

"A level-2 paranormal… Jiang Liushi… the minibus… This team is full of surprises and exceptional individuals," Zhang Gaohe said to himself.

Soon, the soldiers of the Special Forces cleared the remaining infected people at the hospital door. They had to evacuate all the doctors and equipment here before other infected people gathered again.

Peng Dinglong waited until Jiang Liushi, and his party came down and said with a smile, "We have to evacuate and wait until all the infected people are completely eradicated. Your team can join us back to the Xiawu Military Base."

Naturally, it was impossible for them to stay in Area A any longer. Even the areas for ordinary survivors were being evacuated. Fortunately, Peng Dinglong's Xiawu Military Base could accommodate the important people.

"When do you suppose that all of the infected will be killed?" Jiang Liushi asked.

Peng Dinglong looked solemn after hearing Jiang's question, and then he said, "As you know, the Worm Nest is nearby, but all kinds of parasites could lurk in the vicinity. We can't detect them with our current methods. However, a lot of resources and precious time have been spent to build the Xiayuan Safety Zone, so it cannot simply be abandoned. Unfortunately, we are unable to transfer so many survivors…" The horrifying things and scenes they had met on the way while transferring the important figures from Shenhai Island were still fresh in their memories.

"Captain Jiang, believe in me. We will formulate some strategies as soon as possible. We will destroy the Worm Nest in its entirety soon!" Peng Dinglong said and looked confident.

"Oh!" Peng Dinglong added suddenly, "We re-established contact with the radio station, and we received a message. Li Yinqiang's hand has been severed, and he is not infected. Maybe it's because he's a level-2 paranormal."

Jiang Liushi remained silent after listening to Peng Dinglong's words. Li Yinqiang had wanted to use Jiang Liushi and his team as bait, so the latter didn't feel any pity for him.

"Got it," Jiang Liushi replied indifferently.

Peng Dinglong looked at Jiang Liushi deeply. In fact, he had concealed something from Jiang Liushi. On the radio, Li Yinqiang was also looking for Jiang Liushi! Judging from Jiang Liushi's reaction, the Commander confirmed that he was not interested or concerned about Li Yinqiang in the least. At the same time, Peng Dinglong had no idea why Li Yinqiang was searching for Jiang Liushi. He was totally in the dark that Jiang Liushi was the one who had discovered Commander Wang's abnormal behavior. Peng Dinglong owed a favor to Jiang Liushi for saving them, so he didn't inform Li Yinqiang about Jiang Liushi's whereabouts.

"You should forget what you heard on the radio," Peng Dinglong glanced at the soldier next to him and grabbed the radio from his hands, turning it off.

When Jiang Liushi returned to the minibus, he informed Li Yuxin about the situation and the said to the two professors, "Professors, you can decide whether you want to stay here or not. You don't have to worry, and you can think about it carefully. No matter what decision you make, I will support you."

Li Yuxin looked at him gratefully, but Jiang Liushi just smiled and waved his hands. Actually, he was quite satisfied with what he had achieved and obtained.

When Peng Dinglong mentioned Li Yinqiang, and even though he did not say anything, Jiang Liushi had his own speculations. At that time, he had warned them about Commander Wang, and undoubtedly, the military would inquire and investigate about the matter. Naturally, Jiang Liushi knew what to say and what not, but he still found it troublesome to get involved with the military's investigation. Although Jiang Liushi was currently stronger, and held more aces, than in the past, he could still not openly compete with the military. Therefore, he could only try his best to avoid trouble.

Following Peng Dinglong, Jiang Liushi and his team left the gate of the Xiayuan Safety Zone without getting any attention. Peng Dinglong's Military Base was not far from the safety zone. It used to be the suburb of the city. Halfway through, Jiang Liushi's minibus kept a considerable distance between them and then turned into an alley.

Naturally, Peng Dinglong noticed this but he decided to turn a blind eye to it. He knew that the two professors were still on the minibus, but since Li Yuxin was a member of the Shi Ying Squad Peng Dinglong could do nothing more than letting them go. Zhang Gaohe just looked back, but he didn't say anything after seeing the departing minibus.

In the minibus, Jiang Zhuying was studying a map carefully. Finally, Jiang Liushi's minibus was driven to the entrance of a manor-style hotel.

'Roar!'

A few zombies rushed out, but they were killed on their tracks. Zhang Hai and Sun Kun jumped from the minibus with guns in hands, and then they dragged the zombies' bodies to a remote location, covered them with some branches, and sprinkled a little disinfectant to cover up the bloody smell.

Although this place was unlikely to attract a large number of zombies as it was surrounded by a field full of high grass, who knew whether there would be a few mutant beasts or not.

"If we meet mutant beast, we will have fresh meat to eat," Zhang Hai said happily. In Zhang Hai's mind, as long as he could keep following Jiang Liushi, nothing would scare him.

Ling also jumped out, but she disappeared soon. Jiang Liushi never asked about her actions because she was an excellent team member.

"We can rest here tonight," Jiang Liushi said.

Jiang Zhuying helped Li Yuxin and Ran Xiyu to cook, and soon a delicious aroma floated out.

"We won't be having barbecued meat today. A hot-pot is waiting for us… Zhang Hai and Sun Kun have found a bag of hot-pot seasoning," Li Yuxin said.

"Woo! They sure know that their boss likes to eat hot-pot," Jiang Zhuying said happily.

Jiang Liushi interrupted, "Can you tell me what you don't like to eat? As long as its food, you'll devour it. It's no wonder you were the first one to evolve."

"Brother! How could you say so? I just woke up!" Jiang Zhuying said cutely.

At this time, Ling returned with a consistent cold and proud expression, and she said gently, "I have scouted the area, it's safe." Obviously, she had gone around and inside the hotel to check the situation.

"Brother Jiang," Li Yuxin shouted suddenly.

Jiang Liushi could tell that the two professors had made their decision.

"Captain Jiang, thank you very much," Su Tong said gently, "My father and I discussed it, and we decided it that we can't burden you any longer. Xiayuan Safety Zone isn't safe anymore, and we know you are worried that we will be transferred once again…" The two professors were very kind. They didn't want to make things difficult for Jiang Liushi and his team.

"We pondered over this matter carefully. Since we are scientists, the government will naturally protect us, no matter where we go. If you don't mind, please escort us to our hometown. It is not far from here. Before doomsday, it was a small town, but a Safe Area has been constructed there. We heard on the radio that it has strong defenses and it's relatively safe," Su Tong said, and Su Guangqi also nodded.

"A few scientists had been transferred there after Shenhai Island's fall. We had been studying and researching mutant beasts and nuclei with them, so it's the best choice to go there and resume what we started. Since the military has been keeping us safe, we can only contribute through our work in the lab," Su Guangqi said with a smile.

"We've never considered you as a burden. Not to mention that you have made some outstanding contributions," Jiang Liushi replied. Actually, he admired all the scientists from the bottom of his heart, so he'd like to send them back to their hometown. After all, the scientists' hard work had also helped Jiang Zhuying to evolve and wake up.

"In addition, if we return to our hometown, we could search for other family members. We could take care of each other, so Yuxin doesn't need to worry about us. Captain Jiang, I heard from Yuxin that you need some rare materials?" Su Guangqi asked.

Jiang Liushi was shocked in the beginning, but he indeed needed some rare materials. Originally, he had asked Lu Changfei for help, but he hadn't expected the disaster to come so fast.

"Yes," Jiang Liushi answered at once.

"That's good. Several rare metal materials companies are located in those areas. Maybe we could find what you need along the way," Su Guangqi said.

"Excellent!" Jiang Liushi became excited after hearing the news. Although he knew it was quite difficult for him to find all the materials, it was indeed good news. He should collect those materials step by step.

"Oh, where is your hometown?" Jiang Liushi asked.

"Jiangning City," Li Yuxin said.

'Jiangning?' Jiang Liushi remembered something, and then he noticed that his sister had also stopped.

Jiangning was not far away from their hometown, so it was quite normal for them to feel sentimental. Actually, they needed to pass from their hometown first, and then they would arrive at Jiangning. Jiang Liushi never expected he would return to his hometown, from where he had set off.

"No problem. I've been to Jiangning, but I didn't know such companies were located there," Jiang Liushi said.
