Chapter 354 Jianghu Xiaosheng
There wasn't any particular barrier between the civilian area and the high-security area.
You can reach the Gaobao area by crossing just one road.
The environment in the high-risk areas is significantly better than that in the low-income areas.
Trees are planted on both sides of the road, and there is grass in the flower beds.
However, due to the cold weather, these plants have all withered and died.
Security is more stringent in high-security areas compared to civilian areas.
The guards will patrol more often.
Any survivors who were dressed in rags were brutally driven away by them.
Even someone as neatly dressed as Su Chen would have their identity checked from time to time.
Su Chen led Wang Yan and the other two to the core area in no time.
The security in the core area is significantly stricter than that in the civilian and high-security areas.
There used to be a low iron fence around it.
However, the iron fence has now been reinforced and heightened, and there are obstacles such as barbed wire and razor blades on it.
Moreover, there is a surveillance camera every few meters, leaving almost no blind spots.
It's practically impossible to get over here without alerting the guards.
There is only one main gate to enter and exit the core area.
A squad of elite soldiers was stationed at the gate, responsible for checking the documents of those coming and going.
Heavy machine guns were also mounted nearby, and the level of security was no less than that of the high walls outside.
Su Chen and his group only lingered for a short while before soldiers carrying guns approached.
"Don't linger here, leave immediately!"
Su Chen responded and left, glancing back at the Hydroelectric Building in the core area.
This was originally the office area of a hydroelectric power station, a building with more than 20 floors.
Su Chen was unaware of the specifics of the situation inside the building.
If the security is as tight as it is outside, it would be quite difficult for me to force my way in.
As for Chu Mengyao, Su Chen had even less hope of meeting her.
Just as the group was about to leave, several cars suddenly drove up from a distance.
The car slowed down as it approached the gate.
The lead car rolled down its window, revealing a dignified face.
"Move it now!"
Su Chen recognized the other party's identity at a glance.
Liu Jianguo is the military commander in charge of the base.
He had a good relationship with Chu Fei, and it was his support that enabled Chu Fei to secure his position as the top leader of the base.
Upon seeing Liu Jianguo, the soldiers immediately saluted and moved the obstacles to let the convoy pass.
Su Chen took in this scene, a thoughtful expression on his face.
As the person in charge of base security, Liu Jianguo always sat on the high wall on the outer perimeter.
He rarely returns to the core area under normal circumstances.
But he looked so rushed today, could it be that something big happened at the base?
Su Chen shook his head.
Never mind, whatever happens to me isn't really my problem.
Judging that it was about time, Su Chen led Wang Yan and the others back to the cruise ship.
Big Gold Tooth seemed to have just run back as well. Upon seeing Su Chen, he excitedly said...
"Brother Su, I've just heard some important information!"
"Oh? Tell me."
Su Chen wasn't particularly excited.
He didn't expect Big Gold Tooth to provide any good intelligence in a short time.
"I don't know how I infiltrated the core area, but I found out about Chu Mengyao."
Upon hearing Chu Mengyao's name, Su Chen's expression shifted slightly.
"tell me the story."
Seeing that Su Chen was interested, Big Gold Tooth chuckled.
"Isn't Speaker Chu always ill and needs to take medicine?"
"But there is no such drug in the base."
"In order to save her father, Chu Mengyao actually led a squad of soldiers away from the base and went to the city to search for medicine."
"Think about it, with so many zombies in the city, do you think you can just go there easily?"
"I heard they're trapped in the city and are trying to get help from the base."
Su Chen's heart skipped a beat.
Then it dawned on me that Liu Jianguo had looked so hurried earlier; could it be because of this?
"Anything else?
"Brother, do you think I'm some kind of all-knowing expert in the martial arts world?"
Big Gold Tooth was both amused and exasperated.
"It's already quite impressive that I was able to find out this news in such a short time."
"Alright, keep trying."
Su Chen waved his hand and led Wang Yan and the others away.
On the way back, Su Chen kept thinking about Chu Mengyao.
Putting aside their relationship...
In his previous life, Chu Mengyao had helped him a lot, so logically, he should have helped her.
The problem is that, given my current situation, even leaving the base is quite troublesome.
How can we save her?
Just as Su Chen was racking his brains, they had already returned to Er Gouzi's place.
Many scavengers emerged from their houses, whispering amongst themselves as they headed toward the city.
The scavenger team typically goes out on a mission once a week.
It has only been three days since my last trip.
Seeing his companions all setting out, Er Gouzi was quite puzzled.
"What are you doing?"
"Hey, Er Gouzi, you didn't know, did you?"
One of the scavengers said with a grin,
"The authorities have just issued an order to temporarily recruit personnel for an outbound mission!"
"A generous reward awaits those who return safely!"
Su Chen immediately thought of the information that Big Gold Tooth had just revealed.
If I'm not mistaken, this official move is likely to rescue Chu Mengyao!
"What, aren't you going?"
Er Gouzi glanced at Su Chen and waved his hand.
"No rush, I'll go back and pack up first."
"Alright, you hurry up, we're off!"
The scavenger nodded, said no more, and left with his companion.
After Su Chen and the other three returned to their residence, Wang Yan couldn't wait to say...
"Brother Su, haven't you been asking about Chu Mengyao all this time?"
"Now it seems that the base is recruiting people to go out on missions, all for Chu Mengyao's sake!"
Su Chen nodded slightly.
"I think so too, but I'm considering whether or not to go."
"why are you not going?"
Ding Di said with a grin,
"If Brother Chen could seize this opportunity to play the hero and win over Chu Mengyao's heart, wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Upon hearing this, Su Chen was both amused and exasperated.
But before he could speak, a loud, hoarse voice suddenly called out their names from outside.
"Su Chen, Wang Yan, Ding Di, Er Gouzi..."
Su Chen recognized Lu Kun's voice.
He frowned, then led Wang Yan and the others out of the house.
Lu Kun was standing in the middle of the road, followed by dozens of people.
"Isn't this Brother Chicken? What's up?"
Su Chen crossed his arms and asked with a forced smile.
Do not know why.
Lu Kun felt a chill for no apparent reason.
Fortunately, he brought a lot of people with him, which dispelled that feeling.
"I'm here today on Han Shao's orders to deliver a small gift to you and to invite you to a banquet tonight."
Lu Kun nodded to the follower beside him.
The man walked up to Su Chen and extended his palm.
