"Brother, we are Xiang Xuehai's friends! Who are you?" One paranormal got out of the car and cried out in the air. His muscles bulged as he carried the iron bar, ready to take action.

At that moment, Ying drove the minibus a few meters away from them, and they became nervous. They thought that the minibus was not much of the threat, but the heavily-armed soldiers following behind it seemed terrifying…

Jiang Lius.h.i.+ lowered the window and said from the gap, "I don't know who Xiang Xuehai it. We just wanted to ask you if you've come from the northern area of Jiangsu."

The survivors heaved a sigh of relief because it did not seem like Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was interested in the mutant beast they had hunted. At the same time, they were surprised as Jiang Lius.h.i.+ did not know who Xiang Xuehai was.

"Did you come from another area?" The other paranormal, who was wearing gla.s.ses and was not tall, got out of the car and asked. Simultaneously, he winked at his subordinates, indicating to get off the car and carry the mutant beast.

The survivors also noticed that the convoy in front of them had foreign license plates, and the people's accents were different than theirs. The vehicles following the minibus, which had different plates too, were from the Xiangzhou area. Had they really come from Xiangzhou? But how did the cross such a distance? Taking a step back, it seemed plausible, as if they were local, how could they haven't heard of Xiang Xuehai? 

"Yes." Jiang Lius.h.i.+ nodded. There was nothing to hide.

"We can be regarded as survivors from the northern area of Jiangsu and our camp is located in the suburbs of northern Jiangsu. Xiang Xuehai is the name of an influential figure. She controls about 100 people, more than a dozen teams. If anyone offends her, then their life in the northern area of Jiangsu will be miserable at best. My companion used her name so that there won't be any complications…" The spectacled paranormal said calmly.

Jiang Lius.h.i.+ knew he was trying to intimidate and threaten them, but he had failed to do so. However, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was interested in that Xiang Xuehai.

"Xiyu, we could ask Xiang Xuehai for help. Generally speaking, a local tyrant must be privy to a lot of information. It'll make things easier to find your sister," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ looked at Ran Xiyu and said.

If one wanted to search for people in this post-apocalyptic world, they would have to start at survivors' gathering areas. Unfortunately, the military had not established any bases in the northern area of Jiangsu. As a result, they had to search for the sister in local areas.

Ran Xiyu nodded and said, "Brother Jiang, I will listen to you."

"Can you take us to meet Xiang Xuehai? We have a proposal for her," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ asked the spectacled paranormal.

The spectacled paranormal hesitated for a bit, but he didn't any reason to refuse. Moreover, if they indeed did business, Xiang Xuehai would probably remember his contribution. He weighed the pros and cons, and then he answered cheerfully, "No problem. We just finished hunting, and we were about to return. You can follow us."

"Thank you." Jiang Lius.h.i.+ said.

"Captain Jiang." At that moment, Shao Feng got off and came next to Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s minibus. "Captain Jiang, we have gone further than expected, so it's time for us to leave," Shao Feng said.

During the whole journey, he was very grateful to Jiang Lius.h.i.+ and his team. If it were not for them, it would be impossible for them to come this far.

Since they were about to get at the northern area of Jiangsu, he knew it was time to go their split ways.

"Have a safe trip back," Jiang Lius.h.i.+ said.

At that moment, Shao Feng stood straight as a rod and saluted in standard military manner. "Yes! Captain Jiang!"

That military salute was Shao Feng's way to express his respect and admiration for Jiang Lius.h.i.+ and his team. After that, Shao Feng turned back to the car.

Jiang Lius.h.i.+ looked at the convoy getting further away and hoped that all of them would return safely to Star Base City. The journey back would be a dangerous one…

 Jiang Lius.h.i.+ looked at a few military vehicles, with a lot of mixed feelings. Actually, their path to return was very dangerous. They were so close to the new area, but they did not hesitate to choose to return. Jiang Lius.h.i.+ really admired the soldiers' spirit.

The spectacled paranormal was stunned for a bit.

The convoy actually left!?

"We should leave too," the spectacled paranormal said with a smile.

He returned to the car, and the other paranormal immediately asked, "What happened? Why did the soldiers leave?" Then he glanced at the minibus and said, "In this case, we don't have to bring them along."

He dreaded the military, but not that the convoy left without the minibus and the modified Hummer, he had nothing to be afraid of. He was coveting the Hummer from the first time he saw it.

"Didn't you see how respectful that officer was toward that weakling? Although his energy fluctuation isn't strong, the woman next to him is not to be trifled with. She may be a single person, but she is extremely strong," the spectacled paranormal whispered.

The survivors were elated when they saw the military leave.

Suddenly, the spectacled paranormal said in a low voice, "Well-developed and simple-minded people. Xiang Xuehai even disdains us, so how could she agree to do business with you?"

The others also wanted to say something, but they shut their mouths quietly. 

"I hope that those people will take us there without playing any tricks," Ling said while was looking at the road.

"That man is not stupid," Ran Xiyu said. While the survivors were conversing, Ran Xiyu had been monitoring their emotional changes.

"Ling, you've stayed in the northern area of Jiangsu, but how come you never heard of Xiang Xuehai?" Jiang Lius.h.i.+ asked

Ling shook her head and said, "There is no safety are over here, so the survivors are scattered everywhere. Moreover, I've been absent for a long time, so the leaders may have changed a lot of times until now. I don't know about her. Every leader usually acts differently, so I don't know about Xiang Xuehai's character."

"It doesn't matter. I don't think she'll refuse a business opportunity…" Jiang Lius.h.i.+ said.
