The next day…

More survivors' teams kept arriving one after the other, and in the afternoon, as the siren sounded, a soldier brought a message to Jiang Liushi's team. All the teams had to gather to the square in front of the headquarters.

This time, Jiang Liushi decided to only bring Ran Xiyu with him. Not even before passing through the yellow tape, Jiang Liushi had already seen roughly 300 people. Most of the teams had sent two or three representatives, so all the present survivors were actually less than 20% of all teams' members.

"Brother Jiang, let's go to the side," Ran Xiyu said gently. Many of these survivors were sturdy and brave men, and naturally, Ran Xiyu's appearance immediately attracted many people's attention. Ran Xiyu was not only beautiful but also had an outstanding temperament with the continuous improvement of her psychic abilities. It was quite easy for her to be the center of attention, but Ran Xiyu was unaccustomed.

"Let's go." Jiang Liushi nodded.

At that moment, the crowd split in half all of a sudden, and then, several equally well-trained survivors emerged from the crowd. It was evident that those people had experienced countless fights, showing strong self-confidence, which was cultivated in countless life and death situations. Even the expression in their eyes was out of the ordinary. When they passed by other survivors, those survivors couldn't help but tremble. There was a hint of jealousy hidden in their eyes.

Jiang Liushi didn't pay any attention to them, but when Ran Xiyu looked back, she notified him that those well-trained survivors were walking toward them directly.

"I don't remember meeting those people before," Ran Xiyu said.

Jiang Liushi frowned, "Yes, we don't know them." In fact, Jiang Liushi was determined to return today. As for his alliance with Lu Changfei, he could only feel regretful.

When he thought that those people may want to find trouble with him, Jiang Liushi felt annoyed. Nobody hoped for new problems to crop up unexpectedly. After a while, Jiang Liushi stopped and touched his gun while pulling Ran Xiyu behind him. And then, he stared at that group.

The one in the lead was a neatly dressed, long-haired woman with a ponytail. She was wearing a tight black waistcoat and a pair of shorts, revealing her jade-white skin and two long, flexible legs. On one of her legs, a colorful tiger was tattooed, adding to her a violent and wild beauty. Her weapon was even more compelling. It was a huge ax. She was of no ordinary talent, otherwise many people would doubt whether she could pick up the huge ax.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Liushi asked.

The woman looked at Jiang Liushi, and suddenly she pulled her coat, and then a cold light flashed in her hands. Her actions were extremely agile, so the survivors, who were looking at them, didn't catch her movement.

However, her movements came to a sudden stop as the muzzle's black hole was aimed at her. Several powerful men behind the woman were astounded at first and then reached for their weapons immediately.

That woman slowly spread out her palm, showing a slight smile, and she flipped her wrist. The knife in her hand fell directly into the snow under her feet. "Don't misunderstand. It wasn't a malicious attack."

At that moment, the sound of muzzles was heard from the windows in the houses on both sides.

"What are you doing? Fighting is not allowed here!" A soldier shouted.

Jiang Liushi stared at the woman, putting down his pistol.

"Not a malicious attack? You wanted to attack me in surprise!" Jiang Liushi asked angrily. Although he had put down his gun, he can lift it again in a twinkling. Jiang Liushi maintained sharp vigilance against that group of people.

"We just wanted to test you. We've gotten our answer. You're Jiang Liushi, right? I could tell by the grey-eyed beauty beside you. I heard a lot of things about you last night," said the woman. "Well, we are members of Fierce Tiger."

'Fierce Tiger…' Jiang Liushi remembered when they first saw the Fierce Tiger's convoy. It seemed that they were very strong.

"I let it slide this time, but if you try to test me again, I may pull the trigger," Jiang Liushi said coldly. He couldn't be well disposed towards Fierce Tiger.

"Oh, my god!" A man behind that woman could not help but exclaim after seeing Jiang Liushi leaving with Ran Xiyu. "That man doesn't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is."

That woman also picked her eyebrow. "Pull the trigger? Can the little brother fight against me?"

Jiang Liushi looked just like a college student. But the woman wasn't much older than him. "F*ck! Nobody has ever dared to point at me with guns!" That woman was annoyed when she thought of the scene earlier.

'Boom!'

The roaring sounds of engines echoed as two modified military armored vehicles rushed into the square, followed by an infantry fighting vehicle. The iconic green uniforms in camo, as well as, the saluting postures of all the soldiers standing in a row, made the survivors, who were still chatting, realize immediately that important figures had appeared.

The woman took a glance at the back of Jiang Liushi and Ran Xiyu and then sighed coldly. "We'll disregard them for now. Let's go!" And then, she led her teammates to the front.

Some members of the Doom Walker were standing amongst the crowd, but Jiang Liushi neither saw Hou Dingkun nor Lu Changfei. He guessed that the both of them were still recovering from their injuries.

Several people walked down from the modified military armored vehicles and the infantry fighting vehicle.

They were Li Yinqiang, Leopard as well as Commander Wang. In addition, Jiang Liushi also saw two men he had never met and an ordinary gray-haired general.

The gray-haired general stood in front of Li Yinqiang, showing a laudable tolerant spirit. Jiang Liushi guessed that this general was the Commander-in-Chief of this mission.

The Commander-in-Chief stood on the infantry vehicle, and his calm eyes swept through the crowd. Until the square had almost completely quieted down, the Commander began to speak, "I, Mr. Lian do not like spewing bullsh*t. Today, we gathered here to discuss about the real situation in the front lines. What happened! However, we can't give any definite answers. The only thing we can divulge is that we had heavy losses! Many of our troops went in, but never returned! Our offices and soldiers have suffered a lot of casualties! Including Commander Wang, whose team suffered heavy losses, but he was just lucky to escape…"

When Jiang Liushi heard that, he started staring at Commander Wang, who had slightly lowered his head and seemed as if his body was shaking vividly from excitement. Although they were far away from each other, Jiang Liushi's Starseed could still sense the unknown mutation energy coming from him.

'What's that?' Jiang Liushi thought.

Commander Lian continued, "We have discovered a huge beast nest, but it underwent some changes. We have to attack it before it poses a threat to Xiayuan Safety Zone! All of you, no matter if you live in Xiayuan or are here for a safe shelter, have to help! In this terrible post-apocalyptic period, all of us just want to have a safe place to eat and sleep. Xiayuan Safety Area is our common homeland! In this counterattack, the military needs you to complete some challenging, hard and of utmost importance missions! Of course, you don't belong to the military, so I can't order you, but if you don't plan to accept any missions this time, then in the future, you won't have the right to participate any military-related missions at Xiayuan!"

After Commander Lian said that, many people started whispering.

For those, who intended to stay in Xiayuan for a long time, that ultimatum was indeed bad news. However, Jiang Liushi was not affected by that. He also glanced at Li Yinqiang, who was standing beside that infantry fighting vehicle upright. If he had not seen him, Jiang Liushi could swear that his sense of existence was similar to that of fierce mutant beasts.

At that moment, Li Yinqiang turned and looked at Jiang Liushi in the crowd immediately. However, Jiang Liushi noticed his eyes betraying coldness and indifference. It was as if he was looking at an ant.

Jiang Liushi just smiled coldly and then turned to look at other people.

At this time, Commander Wang talked to Li Yinqiang, "I heard that Jiang Liushi rejected you once again yesterday?"

"Yes. Someone didn't know what's good for him," Li Yinqiang said calmly.

"Are you angry?" asked Commander Wang.

"No. It's not even worth mentioning it. It's going to be tough for his team to stay in Xiayuan in the future," Li Yinqiang said expressionlessly.

"That's on him. How's that sentence going again? You may have not killed Buren, but Buren's death is because of you," Commander Wang said.

"Are you okay? Why you're shaking so violently?" Li Yinqiang asked suddenly.

"I'm fine," Commander Wang shook his head and lowered it to cover his pale face. He was really shivering, which seemed couldn't be restrained, even his teeth were trembling.

Jiang Liushi swept through the crowd, and he looked at Commander Wang, noticing his strange behavior. Right after, Starseed's notification sounded, 'Detected unknown mutant energy. Its level is increasing rapidly.'

"Xiyu, scan that person." Jiang Liushi said immediately.

Ran Xiyu nodded and then converted all of her psychic power in a thin bundle through her domain and locked directly on Commander Wang without affecting or alerting anyone else. On such occasions, many paranormals with psychic abilities should be present, so Ran Xiyu did not want to cause unnecessary trouble. However, there were still risks in doing so.

In Jiang Liushi's mind, it was worth the risk and important to investigate.

After a while, Ran Xiyu's expression changed slightly. 'The spiritual light of this person…'

At the same time, Commander Wang seemed to have sensed the mental probe, and he suddenly raised his head.

Jiang Liushi was momentarily surprised as Commander Wang's eyes had turned bloodshot and his expression was peculiar.

'His spiritual light's color had become the same as that of mutant beasts and zombies!'

"Wait!" Jiang Liushi shouted suddenly. And then he quickly walked through the crowd to reach the front.

Jiang Liushi's eyes were locked on Commander Wang the whole time, ignoring the voice of those who complained. He was already flabbergasted by Ran Xiyu's findings. It was general knowledge that paranormals had a certain resistance to the virus, and even if they could not resist, they should at least show signs of mutation in a short amount of time. However, Commander Wang was still a normal person the previous night.

As Jiang Liushi kept moving forward, Commander Wang's body was twitching more and more violently. He stepped back two steps, and his eyes flashed with a hint of struggle.

All the commanders looked at Jiang Liushi, who was walking toward them quickly like a raging bull.

Li Yinqiang frowned and asked, "What are you doing, Jiang Liushi?" He didn't want to see Jiang Liushi at this moment at all.

"I have a question!"

"On this occasion, is it possible to ask? Are you doubtful of what we just said? No matter what questions you have, the regulations are stipulated. If you do not participate in the missions, you will lose the right to pick military-related missions in the future," Li Yinqiang answered coldly.

Jiang Liushi was speechless with how Li Yinqiang had misunderstood him, but he didn't want to waste time, so he ignored him. He was not far from the infantry fighting vehicle, and nobody from the crowd was in front of him. The only people blocking his direct path were several soldiers, including the Fierce Tiger's members.

Li Yinqiang frowned and signaled at his members to stop Jiang Liushi.

"Commander Leopard, turn and take a look at Commander Wang!" Jiang Liushi shouted loudly.

Jiang Liushi's words and actions suddenly shocked Leopard. He didn't think and subconsciously turned to look at him.

Suddenly, Commander Wang roared and rushed toward Li Yinqiang, who was the closest one.

What surprised Jiang Liushi was that Commander Wang impressively exploded with such terrifying strength and speed that even the level-2 paranormal Leopard couldn't react at all.

Meanwhile, Li Yinqiang got an ominous feeling, and thanks to his honed combat instincts, he jerked sideways while grabbing Commander Wang's shoulder and hurting it. Fortunately, Li Yinqiang was able to restrain Commander Wang!
