"Thank you, Old Zhang . But you don't have to arrange a meeting for us," refused Jiang Lius.h.i.+ after pondering for a bit .

He had no information regarding the Huaxia Region and its paranormals, so he believed that he should be cautious . Presently, his strength was inferior to the military .  

"It's okay . I'll respect your decision," said General Zhang . Although he felt it was a pity, General Zhang would not force Jiang Lius.h.i.+ .

"What about living here temporarily? The life here is a little boring, but it's still a safe area . If you need any help, don't hesitate to tell me . " General Zhang smiled .

"Live here?" Jiang Lius.h.i.+ shook his head .

It had never crossed Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s mind to live there or find any other permanent residence somewhere else . He only cared about escorting the two professors safely . Not to mention that the Regions were under urgent construction and expansion . How could he waste his time?

"There is something that I need you to help me locate," said Jiang Lius.h.i.+ .

"Tell me," replied General Zhang immediately . He was deeply grateful for Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s help . Plus, he had even brought two remarkable professors to join the safe are . Naturally, he was happy to help Jiang Lius.h.i.+ .

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be an airport in Jiangning . I need some materials from the abandoned planes . I don't know how far and where it's located . Can you please find information on the route and the airport's situation?" asked Jiang Lius.h.i.+ .

In the list of materials, he gave to He Junhong were several extremely hard to find metals . Although He Junhong was trying his best to gather all the needed materials, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ decided to look for some of them personally . After all, he had met General Zhang, which was a great opportunity . At the same time, he felt it was the right time to collect more materials for his storage s.p.a.ce . That type of composite metal was used in large quant.i.ties on airplanes .

As long as they could find an aircraft, it would be equivalent to finding a large number of materials . In the future, materials would only be scarcer, so he should collect them early . When they had been pa.s.sing through Jiangbei, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had considered visiting Jiangbei Airport, but he had discarded that idea due to the distance .

Since they had arrived in Jiangning, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ wanted to take that opportunity and go to Jiangning Airport .

"Jiangning Airport?" General Zhang was stunned . He was in a dilemma .

Jiang Lius.h.i.+ noticed his expression and asked, "Is Jiangning Airport in use?"

Generally speaking, after doomsday, most of the cities were in total ruins, and consequently, the airports had lost their usage . What was different about Jiangning Airport?

"Not completely, but it is almost at the final stages," replied General Zhang .

Then, he gave some details to Jiang Lius.h.i.+ . The first step in establis.h.i.+ng the Regions was to strengthen the links between all major security zones . The previous method of using broadcasts was too singular, and not every security zone made public the real situation and all information . Thus, they started using aircraft, which made direct personnel exchanges possible .

Presently, Jiangning Airport was under the military's control, and it was being repaired . Moreover, Jiangning Airport was not a big airport, and the government had already started controlling the air traffic before doomsday, so there were not many planes there . Currently, n.o.body had the ability to build airplanes, and thus, it was nearly impossible to allow anyone close to the remaining planes .

Jiang Lius.h.i.+ nodded and expressed his understanding . However, he was somewhat disappointed . The difficulty of collecting materials was increasing .

"As for Jiangbei, we will soon recover it . It's a real shame that we can't use the high-speed trains connecting Jiangning to Jiangbei as we're unable to provide sufficient power," added General Zhang .

After doomsday, the means of transportation was the biggest problem . And that's why Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s special ability had left a deep impression on General Zhang . If Jiang Lius.h.i.+ could use his power to a.s.sist the military, it would solve lots of problems . Unfortunately, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had shot down that idea .

"Jiangbei will be included in this Region in the future? Really?" Li Yuxin asked in surprise .

Truth be told, it was to be expected as Jiangbeu could be considered a medium-sized city . There were many facilities and industries in Jiang Bei .

"That's good . Old Zhang, when the military reclaims Jiangbei, I'd like you help and take care of a good friend," said Jiang Lius.h.i.+ . And then, he described Luo Ming and where he was . That may be the only a.s.sistance that he could provide to Luo Ming . He hoped that his friend could lead a better life .

"Luo Ming . Rest a.s.sured!" General Zhang said in a serious tone .

"If you want to find other airports, I can help," added General Zhang .

 Jiang Lius.h.i.+ became excited and listened carefully .

After some time, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ and Ran Xiyu left the headquarters of Jiangning Safety Zone with a detailed map of the Jiangning area . General Zhang also sent the two professors to the Inst.i.tute of Biological Sciences, and Li Yuxin followed . Actually, in Jiangning, there was more than one research inst.i.tute, and they were all located behind the headquarters . The scientists there were conducting all kinds of researches under the protection of the military, so Jiang Lius.h.i.+ did not have to worry about the two professors' safety .

In the security zone, patrol teams could be seen everywhere . In addition, ordinary survivors come and go, cleaning the ruins and houses . A few others were sorting out clothes from the mall's warehouse according to how clean they were, gender and numbers . As for the brand, it was not in the selection range . Expensive and cheap clothes were all piled up together .

In the area, except for the sick and old, as well as children, who didn't have any ability to work, the rest of the people had to help with construction .

As they were pa.s.sing by the people who were sorting out the clothes, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ noticed Ran Xiyu's eyes and then he stopped .

"Is this scarf for sale?" Jiang Lius.h.i.+ asked someone who seemed to be the manager .

"It's for general distribution," said that person, shaking his head .

Jiang Lius.h.i.+ pondered for a second and then he took out a bar of chocolate from his pocket .

"How about selling it to me?" Jiang Lius.h.i.+ asked again .

"Yes!" The manager's eyes lit up, and he nodded .

It seemed that even in this relatively perfect safety area, chocolate was still rare, even just a small piece . Although clothes did not have any money worth, they were also relative to food . Especially in the winter, it was not so easy to get warm and clean winter clothes . But that bar of chocolate could still buy several pieces of clothing, plus this scarf .

Jiang Lius.h.i.+ picked a few sweaters and found a bag, which then he gave to Ran Xiyu . "When Yuxin comes back, you can pick the color you like," said Jiang Lius.h.i.+ .

"That's . . . " The bag in Ran Xiyu's hands was so big that it seemed as if she was holding a big teddy bear . She looked more pet.i.te than usual .

"This one is for you . " Jiang Lius.h.i.+ wrapped a white scarf around Ran Xiyu's neck .

The soft scarf wrapped her white neck and covered her small ears, making her face smaller . Ran Xiyu quietly looked at Jiang Lius.h.i.+ and said, "Thank you . "

"You're welcome," said Jiang Lius.h.i.+ with a smile .

Ran Xiyu felt that her ears were a bit hot . She had just thrown a glance at the scarf, and Jiang Lius.h.i.+ bought it for her . A sense of warmth filled Ran Xiyu's heart .

Ran Xiyu suddenly asked, "Is there anything on the map that General Zhang gave you?"

"Oh, look!" Jiang Lius.h.i.+ unfolded the map for Ran Xiyu to see . There was a circle on the map . "Two helicopters have fallen in this place, and the wreckage should be around this area," said Jiang Lius.h.i.+ .

The rotor blades of helicopters were made of composite materials . Although Jiang Lius.h.i.+ couldn't get his hands on airplanes, helicopters were still better than nothing . Moreover, according to General Zhang, the two helicopters had been flying in a low att.i.tude at that time, so they should be relatively complete .

"Is that place dangerous?" asked Ran Xiyu .

"It can't be said to be very dangerous," replied Jiang Lius.h.i.+ .

That place was located somewhere in the city, but not in the city center . They would be quite safe in the minibus . Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was quite confident in his MCV .

"We will not be staying in Jiangning for long . Since two helicopters are waiting for us, we should not let this opportunity . " Jiang Lius.h.i.+ smiled .

"Okay . " Ran Xiyu nodded .

Ran Xiyu would not raise any objections since Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had said so . She totally trusted him .

As they were walking slowly in the streets just like before doomsday, a faint sense of warmth filled Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s heart .

Unexpectedly, a voice came from behind, "I can't believe it's really you!"

Thank you, Old Zhang . But you don 39 t have to arrange a meeting for us, refused Jiang Lius.h.i.+ after pondering for a bit . He had no information regarding the Huaxia Region and its paranormals, so he believed that he should be cautious . Presently, his strength was inferior to the military . It 39 s okay .
