Ran Xiyu didn't give an immediate response to Abbott's invitation . Instead, she looked at Jiang Lius.h.i.+ .
He looked at her with a smile and said, "It's not easy to meet an acquaintance in this chaotic world we live in . If you want to go, we will follow you . " Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was aware that Ran Xiyu was too shy to refuse her former cla.s.smate's invitation .
Ran Xiyu nodded, and then she looked at Abbott . "Thank you for your invitation, we'll be there . "
Suddenly, Ran Xiyu's voice sounded in Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s mind . 'We might find a few people selling mutant nuclei to that party . "
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ smiled . 'Xiyu, it's a really good plan!"
They had yet to find someone that specialized in selling mutant nuclei, especially level-2 ones and above .
Ran Xiyu smiled, and then she told to Abbott, "Abbott when it's time please contact us . We live in a motor home, so it's easy to find us . "
Observing Ran Xiyu carefully, Abbott felt surprised . He looked at Jiang Lius.h.i.+ and Ran Xiyu from time to time . In his mind, although Ran Xiyu was a polite and gentle girl, she was quite proud of herself, which made it challenging to pursue her . But it was obvious that Ran Xiyu was close with Jiang Lius.h.i.+ . Another reason that he felt surprised was that he could vaguely feel Ran Xiyu's energy fluctuations . It seemed that the Ran Xiyu he knew had changed, which caused him to wonder what she had experienced until now .
After Ran Xiyu and the others left, Abbott mumbled, "Motor home?" It may be enjoyable to travel around in a motor home, but it was also quite dangerous . Thus, Abbott decided to warn Ran Xiyu next time .
…
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was elated with his purchases, and he couldn't wait to put them to use . After buying what he wanted, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ lost his interest in the market, so he returned to the tour bus .
The parked tour bus was quite eye-catching, and many pa.s.sersby stopped to look at it . Unfortunately, they could not see what its interior looked like . n.o.body could imagine that it was as luxurious as a villa .
…
On the next evening, somebody knocked on the tour bus' door . Ran Xiyu had long felt Abbott's presence heading their way, so she opened the door quickly .
"We should be going, the celebration party is about to begin- Oh, My G.o.d!" exclaimed Abbott . His jaw almost got dislocated when he saw the tour bus' interior . It was indescribably luxurious!
As for his speech to try and persuade Ran Xiyu not to endanger herself, he discarded it immediately . He had to admit that living in such a motor home was indeed enjoyable .
"Abbott!" Ran Xiyu's calling brought him back to reality .
"It's so beautiful! I was mesmerized," said Abbott, laughingly . "Let's go . Do you wanna drive your tour bus there? I'm worried it will be too crowded to park it . "
"You don't need to worry about this," said Jiang Lius.h.i.+ .
Although they were in a US military base and didn't know where the party was held, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ didn't want to leave the tour bus too far away . The primal goal of attending the party may be to find mutant nuclei sellers, but Jiang Lius.h.i.+ also wanted for his teammates to relax . Since the virus outbreak, they had no chance to take a breather . Only Jiang Zhuying could relax by watching anime . Of course, they didn't want to make any further contact with the Americans, but they could at least eat nice food and walk around .
"Hey, look! So many people!" exclaimed Jiang Zhuying .
Not far from them, they saw lots of people heading toward a tall building . As for the parking lot ahead, it was almost full .
The sky was not completely dark, but the building was already brightly lit with bright neon lights . Even the street lights were all lit up . Although they knew that everything was powered by the aircraft carrier, they still felt it was extravagant .
"It's normal that so many people have gathered . This time, Major General Jonathan killed a level-2 mutant beast, which was near to breaking through to level-3, that climbed ash.o.r.e almost on his own . The whole base is celebrating for Major General Jonathan's feat . With his prestige and strength, he will surely become the next four-star or even five-star General in the base .
Out of consideration for Ran Xiyu, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had allowed Abbott to get on the tour bus . Thus, when Abbott heard Jiang Zhuying's words, he immediately explained in excitement . It seemed that he also had a basic knowledge of the Chinese language .
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ knew that five-star general belonged to America's military system . In peacetime, there was no five-star general . It would only be awarded up to five army officials in wartime, and that t.i.tle was known as General of the Army . After doomsday, the five-star general here was, naturally, granted by the military base . Reaching that rank was considered as being one of the top figures in the base . But, of course, they were still worlds apart from Genesis' top bra.s.s .
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ just nodded . In the eyes of Jiang Zhuying and the others, the most powerful person currently in the base should be Jiang Lius.h.i.+ . As for whether others were powerful or not, it was none of their business . Thus, they just listened without commenting, which made Abbott feel embarra.s.sed and kind of awkward .
Abbott turned to look at Ran Xiyu and said suddenly, "Ran Xiyu, I will give you a surprise in a while . "
Ran Xiyu looked at him doubtfully .
At this moment, horn sounds came from behind the tour bus . Obviously, the tour bus was too big, and the people in front and behind it felt it was blocking the way . Many of them even cursed .
"Don't mind them . I can still see a few open spots at the parking lot . Ying, step on it!" There was still some distance from the parking lot . If not for the people cursing at them, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ would have given the order to park it beside the road . Unfortunately, he changed his mind .
Abbott was rendered speechless, wondering how the tour bus could reach the parking lot . However, at that moment, he felt the tour bus accelerating . Not only that but also seemed like a fish swimming between the crowds and vehicles . Many times, Abbott felt that they were about to crash, but nothing happened . They were moving forward steadily and fast . At the same time, screams could be heard from the bypa.s.sed vehicles . The drivers could only step on the brakes or take the initiative and make way . As for the tour bus and Jiang Lius.h.i.+,, it was as if it had nothing to do with them .
In the end, they actually stopped inside the parking lot . As Abbott was getting down from the tour bus, he felt utterly embarra.s.sed . What's worse, when he discovered that the driver was actually a girl, he felt as if someone was playing a joke on him .
'Impossible!' In his mind, the tour bus' driver should be an internationally known master Formul1 racer . Once again, his world outlook had been overturned .
