Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 124: Chapter 116: Apocalyptic Transport Mainline

After leaving the police station, Xufeng looked up at the azure sky of Yanhai City and said,

"That Officer Wang... he’s really something else."

"His eyes are way too sharp. He could tell what kind of school we go to just from a glance... Good thing he didn’t realize I’m a Reincarnator."

Xufeng turned to Yu Dong, confused. "What would have happened if you told him? If he didn’t believe you, he’d think you were crazy. If he did... he might have become one of us. He’d never try to harm you, so there’s no downside either way."

Wang Dingbei’s profession and disposition made Xufeng feel he was a man who clearly distinguished between gratitude and grudges, and... possessed a great deal of compassion.

Even the old man he’d mocked for not raising his two sons well, he still gave him a few hundred for living expenses every month.

Yu Dong felt it too.

"That may be true... but I don’t like the feeling of being seen through. If Officer Wang knew all my secrets... I’d lose my advantage of knowing the future. Maybe then, instead of pulling him into my team, I’d become a card in his hand."

Wang Dingbei had an extremely dominant personality. No matter how inconspicuously he dressed, anyone standing next to him would have their presence completely overshadowed.

Yu Dong had just experienced this firsthand, which made him even more wary about who would be leading whom in the future.

He was very resistant to the idea of anyone else giving him orders... even a strong man like Officer Wang.

Yu Dong didn’t know why he was so opposed to it... He even felt a kind of instinctive revulsion.

Xufeng looked at Yu Dong... seemingly lost in thought.

"Dongzi, now I really believe you’re a Reincarnator... You’re completely different from before."

"Is that so? Maybe..."

Yu Dong didn’t feel any different himself. He was more concerned with the headache of how to deal with Officer Wang in the future.

But the more Xufeng looked, the more he felt Yu Dong had changed. His whole aura was different.

If a person hadn’t been through certain things, it would be difficult to have that kind of aura, that... desire for control.

’In his past life, Dongzi must have held great power, a man whose word was law...’

Yu Dong didn’t notice, he just continued,

"Forget it. I’ll ask Professor Lin about this when we go see him. What time is our appointment?"

"I scheduled it for you at 3 PM. Go find Professor Lin on the 4th floor of the comprehensive building. He was a consultant for my family’s company for a while... he should do me a favor and give you some proper answers."

"Xufeng, with your help... things are so much easier for me. Thanks, brother!"

"Cut the crap. Helping you is helping myself, isn’t it? Didn’t you say you’d find a way to stop me from turning into a zombie?"

"Yeah... I didn’t have the means before, but this time, we’ll give it a shot! By the way, Xufeng, if you believe me... are you planning to tell your family and have them prepare?"

"I will. That’s simple enough for me."

"Good, as long as you have a plan. Let’s go!"

"Dongzi, where are we heading next?"

"Xiangti Bay Community, to recruit teammates."

Yu Dong glanced at his watch. It was 9:30 AM.

Zhou and Mei would be arriving soon.

Huangyang Port wasn’t far from Xiangti Bay Community. It was a 6-kilometer trip east along Binhai Avenue.

"Then we’ll have to take a detour if we get a taxi. Binhai Avenue is a professional cycling path, no cars allowed..."

Seeing Xufeng about to hail a taxi, Yu Dong stopped his hand.

"No need for a taxi. We’ll take bike-shares. I want to check out this road anyway."

At that moment, Yu Dong suddenly realized something he had overlooked in his past life... Binhai Avenue had a very special characteristic!

First, it was a coastal avenue in Yanhai City, a winding road that hugged the shoreline and the beaches. It was the face of this tourist city, showcasing the best beaches and ocean views to visitors.

Moreover, this road was also Yanhai City’s professional course for competitions like cycling, marathons, and rollerblading... multiple sporting events were held on this road every year.

Combining these activities with the beaches and the ocean was an idea from Yanhai’s tourism and culture department. It had become a city landmark, attracting many tourists over the years, and even surrounding schools had participated in these events.

In other words, this Binhai Avenue only allowed pedestrians and cyclists. No cars allowed!

"No wonder this road was so empty in my last life, unlike the street outside the school that was completely gridlocked with cars."

Only now did Yu Dong understand why the Liang Team had continuously ridden west along this road in his past life.

From his memories, Yu Dong also recalled Zhao Youcai mentioning something about clearing out the underground garage and starting up a vehicle...

’If we had prepared an escape route in the last life and forced a car onto this road, we could have driven all the way to the Huangyang Port settlement. We might have been able to escape the zombie horde!’

Yu Dong realized this cycling avenue, wide enough for two cars to drive side-by-side, was a rare, clear roadway after the apocalypse!

"Xufeng, Binhai Avenue is a natural post-apocalyptic supply line!"

As Xufeng rode his bike, listening to Yu Dong muttering to himself, he gradually began to understand.

"Then that’s great news! It means all the survivors near this road will have a clear route to the cruise ship settlement after the apocalypse."

"You really have to come out and see things for yourself, otherwise you’ll miss a lot of details..."

The two of them rode all the way to the gate of Xiangti Bay Community.

"Hello, sirs. Are you here to visit a friend or to rent an apartment?"

At the community entrance, a tall and well-built security guard stepped down from his post and asked them with a smile.

Liangzi...

Yu Dong looked at the man before him with a complicated expression.

In his past life, he had abandoned Liangzi, sending him off to a restaurant far from here. But three months into the apocalypse, Liangzi and his team had fought their way out of the city and passed by this place again.

In the past life, Liangzi’s mental state and his team looked to be in excellent shape. His five teammates, in particular, both men and women, were all incredibly fit.

It was clear that Liangzi’s future path... was heavily influenced by the leader he followed and the experiences he had.

So, this life... should he recruit Liangzi into his team? Make him a capable general among his core members?

Liangzi’s physical fitness was excellent, even better than Yan Yikai’s. If they were fighting zombies together... he would definitely be a huge asset.

How to recruit him wasn’t the problem for Yu Dong. The question was whether he should do it.

Once again in this life, Yu Dong felt conflicted.

"Hello? Is there something I can help you with?"

Liang Mian found it strange that Yu Dong was staring at him with such a complicated look, so he asked politely.

"Please let us in. We have a friend who’s renting an apartment here, we came to find him."

As he spoke, Yu Dong saw Zhou Jian Country just coming out of the property management office with a key.

"Oh, please come in."

Liangzi wouldn’t stop people who obviously looked like college students; he only stopped delivery drivers.

As they entered, a man in a paint-spattered blue work uniform with a hood walked out. He was carrying a large bag slung over his shoulder, filled with all sorts of renovation tools.

"Brother Sun, where are you off to work today?" Liangzi greeted everyone warmly.

"Downtown."

Sun Shan was a man of few words. He brushed past Yu Dong and his companion as he walked through the gate.

"Wait a moment, Master."

Yu Dong stopped Sun Shan.

Sun Shan looked at him, puzzled. "What’s up?"

Yu Dong said to Xufeng, "Go take a short video for Zhou. Then take him to Luckin Coffee and wait for me."

"Okay."

Yu Dong already had a tried-and-tested method for winning over Zhou, one that Xufeng could use directly.

And since they’d run into the Master of Traps, Sun Shan, he might as well recruit him while he was at it.

"Master Sun, a word in private."

Yu Dong subtly glanced at Liang Mian, who was standing nearby, but Sun Shan had no interest in someone who looked like a mere student.

"If you have something to say, just say it here. Can’t you see I’m busy?"

"Oh, in that case, about the three anime-style casting molds you bought this year..."

"Hey, hey, hey, brother, let’s talk somewhere private!"
