   Late at night, a small convoy consisting of an off-road vehicle, a van and a van was slowly advancing on the national highway, and the place illuminated by the car lights was silvery white.

"Damn it, what the hell is this weather? It suddenly started snowing!" The bearded man driving the van cursed. In order to save gasoline, they couldn't even turn on the heater, even if they wrapped up various clothes into balls. It was still freezing enough, and the hands holding the steering wheel were already red from the cold.

"Hold on, there are still sixty kilometers left." A young man's voice came from the intercom.

"Boss, do you have any gloves over there? My fingers are almost frozen." The scar-faced man in the other car couldn't help but speak.

"I don't have gloves, but I have two pairs of socks. You can make do with the gloves."

"Okay, okay..."

The car stopped, and a red-haired young man got out of the off-road vehicle. He seemed not to be afraid of the cold. He was still wearing a thin autumn coat, completely different from the two men wrapped in balls. He held two pairs of wool socks in his hand and gave them to them.

The two of them hurriedly took it and put it on their hands. The warm feeling made them feel alive again.

Several people got back into the car and continued on the road.

When the car was about to reach the exit of the national highway, the off-road vehicle in the front suddenly stopped, and the two cars following behind also hurriedly stepped on the brakes.

"Boss, what's wrong?" the bearded man asked hurriedly through the intercom.

"There's something ahead."

"What thing?"

"I don't know, I'll go over and have a look." The red-haired young man said and got out of the car.

"Boss, I'll go with you too!" Scarface got out of the van and followed the red-haired man.

The two of them had just taken a few steps forward when they heard several gunshots. A row of bullets landed not far in front of their feet, leaving a row of shocking dents in the snow.

"No one is allowed to move!" Several people wearing shabby cotton-padded jackets got out from behind a dark car. Their voices were still a little trembling, and they didn't know how long they had been squatting in this place.

Scarface subconsciously touched his lower back, but was immediately stopped by the red-haired man.

Then, the red-haired man raised his hands and waited leisurely for those people to approach.

"That's right, don't move." The men with guns relaxed a little when they saw how cooperative they were.

When these people approached, one of the short men pointed a gun at the scarred face and the red-haired young man, controlling them not to move, while the others walked directly to their car.

"Fuck!" When they opened the door of the off-road vehicle, they were surprised by the various foods piled on the seats.

"I'm getting rich, I'm getting rich!" These people couldn't hide their excitement and hurriedly opened the door of the van again. They also saw a lot of supplies inside.

They then ran to the third car, forced the bearded man out of the car with a gun, and then opened the rear door of the truck. They saw three women lying inside. Although they were all wrapped in quilts, they could still From the parts of them exposed outside the quilt, it can be seen that they are actually naked.

"This, this..." These people were suddenly stunned. Just when they didn't know how to react, they heard someone whisper in their ears, "Have you seen enough?"

Before they could turn around, they felt a pain in their necks. Then consciousness fell into darkness.

Under the moonlight, the blood-stained face of the red-haired young man was as terrifying as Shura. He wiped the long-handled knife in his hand on the bodies of the people whose heads were separated, and then looked at the people in the carriage who were hurt by the cold wind. The woman who woke up in the carriage said, "It's okay, go back to sleep."

There was no expression on the numb faces of these women, and they lay back down very obediently.

"Don't, don't kill me..." The short man who had pointed a gun at Scarface and the others was so frightened by this scene that his legs trembled, and a pool of water soon appeared at his feet.

This man was completely frightened. The red-haired young man was clearly standing in front of him just now, but in the blink of an eye he had appeared in the truck, and he had killed all his brothers with a single blow. Their bodies and heads were separated, and he knew that they had encountered a difficult situation and were completely in trouble.

"If you answer my question honestly, I might be able to spare your life."

"I will answer honestly! I will answer honestly!"

"Where are you from? What are you doing here?"

"I, we are from the Southern Henan Safety Zone , we went out to search for supplies. When we came back, the car ran out of gas, so we had to wait until daybreak. We just wanted to take a rest here. But when we saw your car lights, we got interested..." This guy has no idea. The details were clearly explained.

"Oh? Where is the South Henan Safety Zone? Is it in Nancheng?" "

Yes, that's right, it's Nancheng." "What

's the current situation of the South Henan Safety Zone?"

"It seems that it was rebuilt from the original military zone. It has special order and welfare benefits. Well, it has attracted a lot of people with super powers to defect to it."

"Oh? What are the benefits?"

"New survivors are provided with seven days of free accommodation in the safe zone. Of course, they have to pay for their own food. There are many jobs in the mission hall, and you can It's not a problem to just make ends meet. If you really can't find a job, you can also form your own team and go out to collect supplies. When you return to the city, you only need to hand over a small part of the supplies to the base." This person saw that he was interested in the safe zone. Interested, he immediately rolled his eyes and continued, "Brother, you must be a supernatural being, right? The treatment of supernatural beings in the Southern Henan Safe Zone is very good. Those who are willing to work in the safe zone or directly join the official team Yes, you can enjoy the highest level of treatment! You can also form your own team if you want. As long as you cooperate with the official team for an operation every month, the entire team will be exempted from paying for supplies when you leave the city. If you are interested, I can take you there! "

The red-haired young man looked deeply

He glanced at it, and then slowly raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Okay."

The convoy got back on the road and arrived at the gate of the Southern Henan Safety Zone before dawn. What it saw was an endless stretch of towering city walls, six meters high and fifty centimeters thick. It feels very solid and reliable just by looking at it.

The gate is divided into left and right sides, with the left leaving the city and the right entering the city. It was still early and there were not many vehicles coming in and out.

"Second brother, follow me in and take a look. Third brother, you wait outside."

"Okay." The two said in unison through the intercom.

The van stopped outside, and the short man was left behind. Only the red-haired man and Scarface drove the SUV and van forward.

"Hello, please get out of the car and cooperate with the inspection." The soldier in charge of the gate saluted them.

The red-haired young man and Scarface got out of the car together. The soldiers checked the vehicle first. After discovering that they were carrying a large amount of supplies, they did not show any surprise. They just told them that if they felt that these supplies were inconvenient to carry, , they can go to the management office to exchange for work points.

Then the soldier checked them with an in-ear electronic thermometer. After confirming that they had no symptoms of fever, he pointed to a house on the right and said, "Please go over there and register." The red-haired young man

and Scarface They looked at each other and walked towards the registration desk.

As soon as they entered the door, someone gave them two cups of hot water, which made them both stunned. You must know that since that rain, most of the water sources have been polluted, and water has become a scarce resource. Only sealed mineral water or water released by water superpowers is safe water. Along the way, many people asked them for water, but the person who gave them water was the first time they met.

"It's cold outside, drink something hot to feel comfortable." The soldier in charge of registration still had a smile on his face.

"Thank you." They both thanked them and drank the water. There would definitely be no problem with the water provided by the safe zone.

The next registration procedure is relatively simple. Basically, you just fill in a form, register basic personal information, and then enter your fingerprints. Scarface filled out the form very quickly. He directly checked "Yes" for "Are there any superpowers" and filled in the fire element for "Type of superpower". The red-haired young man stared at the "Type of superpower" on the form. After working on it for a long time, I finally picked up the pen and filled in my strength.

After learning that both of them were superpowers, the soldier in charge of registration asked them to demonstrate a little. This was to prevent anyone from pretending to be superpowers and seeking benefits.

Scarface raised his hands, and two huge fireballs appeared in his palms. The red-haired young man went out to find a broken brick and came back, then crushed it into powder.

The soldier handed them two badges, which were proof of their identities as superpowers.

"New survivors can be provided with free accommodation for seven days. There are still vacant rooms in Building 2. You can go directly there. After settling in, you can go to the mission hall to have a look." "

Okay."

Another person came out of the registration office. He guided them to the parking lot, and then they walked towards the accommodation area.

The southern Henan safety zone is now well-constructed. The original shabby tent area has disappeared and been replaced by row upon row of six-story buildings.

They quickly arrived at Building 2. After registering them, the administrator downstairs took them to their rooms. Each room here has four bunk beds placed against the wall, which can accommodate eight people, but there is nothing else. The administrator told them that they could stay here for free for seven days, and after seven days they would be charged four work points per day. If they have more work points, they can move to a place with better accommodation and use their work points to buy many daily necessities.

Everything here is in order, just as peaceful and beautiful as before the end of the world.

"Boss, this place is pretty good." When the administrator left and they were the only two people left in the room, Scarface couldn't help but sigh.

"It's pretty good. You can bring the third child in later, and we'll stay here for a while." A malicious smile emerged from the corner of the red-haired young man's mouth, "Remember to clean up everything in the car."

Scarface quickly understood what he meant, and smiled and said, "Understood."

However, at this time, in Building 10, which was some distance away from Building 2, Jiang Mo, who was sleeping, sat up suddenly. He squinted in the direction of Building 2 and said as if to himself, "Oh, after waiting for three months, it's finally here."
