Chapter 1 When Opening the Letter

When Jin Yuan opened the letter and saw the writing, he was stunned. Although there were many characters on it, they were all combinations of numbers, letters, and Chinese characters. At first glance, there was no logic or complete sentence!

As a former soldier, Jin Yuan knew that this was a letter written in code. The military often used such codes, and he himself knew several.

However, the code on this letter was not one he had encountered before, so Jin Yuan naturally couldn't understand it. But he at least knew that the person who wrote this letter was definitely from the military, because even if he couldn't understand the letter, at least the format was not much different from the codes he knew.

"Boss! What's written on this?"

The driver also leaned over to look at the letter, but couldn't understand it at all, so he asked.

"I don't know, but I know that this letter should have been written by a soldier!"

Jin Yuan replied.

"Could it be that Brother Xiong left it for you?"

The driver asked curiously—he knew that Grey Bear was with the Special Ops.

"No! Definitely not!"

Jin Yuan shook his head.

If Grey Bear had left it for him, he wouldn't have used a code, because he knew he definitely wouldn't understand it.

In addition, only one side of this letter was stained with a little blood, the side that had touched the seat. Therefore, Jin Yuan was completely sure that this letter was placed in the car after the explosion.

"It's that guy!"

Jin Yuan suddenly turned his head and looked towards the city. Wang Zifeng had left in that direction.

"Boss! Are you saying that this letter was left by the guy we met just now?"

The driver was taken aback and asked in disbelief,

"No way? He doesn't look like a soldier at all!"

"The letter may not have been written by him, but it must have been placed here by him!"

Jin Yuan said with certainty.

"He's been here, and this letter is so obvious. If he didn't put it there, he would have picked it up and opened it. Whether it's the end of the world or not, human curiosity will never disappear!"

"Well! That's true. If it were me, I would definitely open it and take a look!"

The driver nodded in agreement.

Jin Yuan put the letter away and turned to walk towards the bus and the truck. Then, he saw the tragic scene inside. Fortunately, he used to be a soldier, so he didn't have much of a reaction. As for the driver, who had also run over out of curiosity, he leaned against the side of the bus and vomited until he was dizzy.

While the driver was vomiting wildly, Jin Yuan searched around and found the tracks of the space chariot Night leaving. He frowned as he looked at the direction the tracks extended.

One armored vehicle was in their hands, and one had been destroyed. How could there be traces of another vehicle leaving?

The road ahead was blocked by the bus and the truck, so it couldn't be a car coming from the opposite direction. And when Li Chenzhou and the others left, they were only driving those two armored vehicles. The only possibility was a car coming from the direction he had come from—only on the highway would vehicles not leave any traces, so he wouldn't be able to detect them.

But that direction was the direction of the chemical plant base. Although Li Chenzhou had left at night, Jin Yuan had cautiously arranged for people to be on duty. If a car had come from that direction, they couldn't have failed to notice.

Of course, Jin Yuan didn't know that Li Chenzhou's car had been directly exchanged from the mall, so it hadn't passed by the chemical plant at all.

Looking at the direction of the chemical plant base and then at the direction the tracks were heading, Jin Yuan hesitated.

He didn't know if he should follow the tracks to find out what was going on and where Li Chenzhou and the others had gone, or if he should go back first, find the man from before, and ask what this letter was all about.

"Let's go! Go back first! Catch up with that man!"

After thinking about it, Jin Yuan decided to catch up with that man first and find out the source of this letter. As for the tracks, judging from the direction, they should be heading towards Qingcheng Prison.

Jin Yuan remembered that Li Chenzhou and the others had said before that Qingcheng Prison was now also a human survival base, and that they had helped to establish it. So, after finding out the source of this letter, he could go there to find Li Chenzhou. It should still be in time!

Receiving Jin Yuan's order, several cars immediately sped back, quickly catching up with Wang Zifeng and his son. Seeing these cars returning so quickly, Wang Zifeng was a little flustered.

He had thought before that the letter might bring him trouble, but he didn't dare to enter the wilderness again now, because he really didn't have that much strength.

Since being frightened outside the Luo Hong base and abandoning the car to escape, Wang Zifeng had walked too far, most of which was through the wilderness, one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Now it was the end of the world. Because of the Hell Silk, even plants that hadn't mutated were growing much larger than before. So, wading through those knee-deep weeds was definitely quite exhausting.

In addition, Xiaobao refused to walk by himself and insisted on Wang Zifeng carrying him. Although he was a child, he weighed more than thirty pounds. Add Wang Zifeng's backpack and that snakeskin bag, and Wang Zifeng was already quite powerful to carry so much stuff so far.

Therefore, seeing the car driving towards him, Wang Zifeng didn't plan to run. He directly dropped the bag on the ground and waited quietly.

"Did you put this in that car?"

After catching up with Wang Zifeng, Jin Yuan didn't waste any words. He jumped out of the car, came to Wang Zifeng, and held the letter in front of him, asking.

"Yes! It was me!"

Wang Zifeng didn't deny it and nodded slightly in response.

"Where did this letter come from? Why did you put it in that car?"

Jin Yuan asked again.

"A person gave it to me. He saved my son and me in the city and sent us out of the city. Then he gave me this letter and asked me to give it to someone driving this kind of armored vehicle!"

Wang Zifeng replied. He didn't say Li Chenzhou's name because he didn't know Jin Yuan's identity. As for the fact that a zombie gave him the letter, he naturally didn't dare to say it.

"What kind of person?"

Jin Yuan asked again.

"A height of..."

Wang Zifeng recalled the appearance of the zombie who had given him the letter and described it, including what he was wearing. Finally, he added the pattern of the arm badge he had seen on the other person's arm.

"Special Ops?"

After listening, Jin Yuan almost believed Wang Zifeng's words. So, he said to the others,

"You guys drive back to the base first and take them back with you, the same treatment as the other survivors! Huzi and I will leave for a bit!"

Huzi was the driver who drove the armored vehicle for him. Jin Yuan planned to go to the prison now, because this letter was obviously meant for Li Chenzhou or Grey Bear. He wanted to send it over immediately.

And to cross the wilderness, only an armored vehicle would do. So, after giving the order, Jin Yuan ignored the others, signaled Huzi to get in the car, and personally drove the armored vehicle into the wilderness, heading towards Qingcheng Prison...
