Jiang Liushi turned back, scaring the girl who was behind them. At first, she was hesitant to talk to him, but he had taken the initiative by calling her out first.

"You?" Jiang Liushi looked at the girl carefully and remembered. The girl was named Wang Shiqi, Li Yuxin's bosom friend. Jiang Liushi had met her back at Shenhai Safety Island. Her parents were also amongst the many elites that had been sent to Shenhai Safety Island in advance. And she was a nurse. Jiang Liushi not only remembered her but he also remembered that she was quite arrogant. However, this time, she was wearing a military uniform and looked awkward.

"You also came to Jiangning? But why you dressed like this?" asked Jiang Liushi.

"Uh, I became a military nurse. I usually help at the Logistics Department," explained Wang Shiqi.

'She joined the military? It's somewhat dangerous. Why did she accept helping at the Logistics Department?' thought Jiang Zhuying.

Att the same time, she pulled her brother's arm and said urgently, "Brother, brother! She is the one who argued with Wan Lan."

As Jiang Zhuying had been rushing in anger toward Wan Lan, she had heard their heated discusion.

"Oh, it seems we are acquainted with each other," said Jiang Zhuying with a smile.

Jiang Liushi felt surprised as Wang Shiqi had stood for them!

"I just told her the truth…Officer Wan is too unreasonable, but that's due to her rigid mindset," whispered Wang Shiqi.

Jiang Liushi could tell that Wang Shiqi had changed a lot. Naturally, his opinion about her changed too. Wang Shiqi used to be spoiled, but now she was more down to earth and a little more self-consious of what she was saying.

"I never expected to meet you at the iangning Safety Zone. It's wonderful!" Wang Shiqi smiled. "What about Yuxin? How is she?"

"Yuxin is fine. She is in the minibus, so you can come and talk to her," replied Jiang Liushi.

"Excellent!" Wang Shiqi nodded immediately.

"Well, I'd like to ask you a question. Are there all kinds of metals stored in the Jiangning Safety Zone? A variety of rare materials to be exact," asked Jiang Liushi suddebly.

He didn't know when General Zhang would be able to meet him and the situation was taking a turn for the worse, so Jiang Liushi had to find other methods to solve his problem. Time was pressing!

"Rare metals?" Wang Shiqi pondered. "They should be in the Logistics Department as it's where food, clothes, and various construction materials are managed and stored. I will go back and help you check it out."

"In case you find them, can they be sold?" asked Jiang Liushi, feeling excited by Wang Shiqi's answer.

"Sell? That's allowed." Wang Shiqi was sure about this. "Except for some special categories, all materials can be sold."

Jiang Liushi nodded. Fortunately, he had already collected all the needed materials from the two helicopters. The materials he needed were relatively easy to find.

"Thanks," said Jiang Liushi.

Wang Shiqi smiled. It was pretty obvious that she had changed a lot. Shenhai Island's fall had changed a lot of things. Wang Shiqi had become a remarkable girl.

"Yuxin, can you guess who we met?" asked Jiang Liushi as soon as he got on his minibus.

"What's wrong?" Li Yuxin was confused, but when she noticed Wang Shiqi standing in front of the door, she a felt a surge of happines coursing through her heart. Li Yuxin rushed down and brought Wang Shiqi immediately back to the minibus.

"Shiqi!" Li Yuxin had always been worried about Wang Shiqi.

She had already asked her grandfather and mother about Wang Shiqi and her family members' situation and whereabouts, but they were in the dark. As Li Yuxin confirmed that Wang Shiqi was fine, she felt as if a boulder pressing against her heart had been shattered.

"I'm glad you're alright. How about you family? Are they all okay?" asked Li Yuxin.

Wang Shiqi looked at Li Yuxin and tears started rolling down her cheeks. "Wu~ They're fine. You seem to have become more beautiful…"

"Do you want us to accompany you back home?" asked Li Yuxin.

"No, I still have some things to finish up at the Logistics Department," said Wang Shiqi in a dilemma.

"Oh, don't worry. Brother Jiang, let's send Shiqi back, please?" asked Li Yuxin.

"Okay." Jiang Liusi nodded, and Ying launched the minibus at once.

Li Yuxin took Wang Shiqi and sat down on the bed. The two girls pulled their hands together and talked about their experiences, and various feelings took over them. During their long separation, Li Yuxin's special abilitiy had grown a lot while Wang Shiqi's state of mind had matured.

Jiang Liushi sat on the sofa and took Luoluo from Ran Xiyu's hands. Luoluo was like a plush toy as soon as it fell into Jiang Liushi's hands, almost motionless.

Luoluo was gently swayed by Jiang Liushi, but it shivered heavily.

"Why you are shaking?" Jiang Liushi said faintly.

Luoluo's body became stiff. It stopped its shaking at once, and it dropped its long ears.

"Ah, this is where I live here," said Wang Shiqi after glancing out of the window. She hurriedly stood up and said, "Jiang Liushi, I will help you find the materials you need. You should make a list and giv it to me. I will inform you when I find them."

"Thanks." Jiang Liushi nodded, and he wrote down all the materials he needed. And then he passed the list to Wang Shiqi.

"Okay, Yuxin, I will go first. We will see each other next time." Wang Shiqi and Li Yuxin hugged, and then Wang Shiqi left.

Jiang Liushi looked out from the window and noticed that the Logistics Department's building was a part of a shopping mall. Many people were outside of it, and there were lots of cars parked in the open space in front of the mall. Some cars were transpotting coal, while others clothes.

Before Wang Shiqi entered the building's door, she turned back and waved at them.

"Uh? Jiang Xiaochu?" Jiang Liushi suddenly saw a familiar weak figure carrying briquettes down hard. Her clothes and exposed skin were all covered with soot.

Jiang Xiaochu seemed to have noticed Jiang Liushi's gaze and looked up, spotting his minibus. A strange expression appeared on her face, and due to the distraction, she stepped on a briquette and suddenly lost her balance. Before she fell on the ground, a shadow flashed, catching her. Jiang Liushi had jumped from the minibus to catch her!

"Why are you here?" asked by Jiang Liushi.

Ran Xiyu also walked over quickly. After seeing Jiang Xiaochu's sorry appearance, Ran Xiyu could guess what had happened. "Where is Zhang Haojing?" Ran Xiyu asked immediately.

Jiang Liushi also frowned. He wondered why Zhang Haojing dared to act boldly.

"He kicked us out of his house. Fortunately, we have found a place to live. It's okay."

"How about those things we gave you?" asked Ran Xiyu again.

Jiang Xiaochu hesitated and answered, "We ate them…"

"He treated you in such a way, so you don't need to help him," said Ran Xiyu.

As a psychic paranormal, Ran Xiyu could sense all lies.

"Where is he?" asked Jiang Liushi directly.

"He is being treated at the hospital as he lost one of his legs," answered Jiang Xiaochu.

Jiang Liushi frowned after hearing that answer.

"It doesn't matter. We have found a place to live. The hospital is severely guarded. Please, you don't have to bother with him. Xiyu, is that okay?" added Jiang Xiaochu anxiously.

She could still remember Zhang Haojing's pitiful state. At the same time, she was also worried that her matters would burden Ran Xiyu and her teammates. "Xiyu, please forget about his matter. In the future, we will lead an independent life." Jiang Xiaochu looked at Ran Xiyu and begged.

Ran Xiyu felt angry and said, "You were already self-reliant." But after seeing that Jiang Xiaochu was really worried, Ran Xiyu just nodded. "I know. But you are too tired."

"That's nothing. I heard that the Region will soon be established, which means we will be able to return to life before doomsday. Although it's impossible for things to return to how they were, at least, we'll be able to lead better lives. After the establishment of the Region, facilities such as schools will be reopened. I want to be a teacher," said Jiang Xiaochu in a tone filled with hope.

"In fact, many people are just like me. Although we are the most bitter and ordinary people, we can live and look forward to the future. It's already content," said Jiang Xianchu with a smile.

Jiang Liushi did not speak. After all, ordinary people still did not know about the Honeycomb's existence. Jiangning Safety Zone would be destroyed once the Honeycomb arrived.

"I should get back to work. Xiyu, let's talk later." Jiang Xiaochu smiled and said. And then she went on to move the briquettes. There were also two trucks of briquettes waiting to be unloaded and distributed to the people who had come to pick up the briquettes. However, an ordinary person like Jiang Xiaochu had no chance to be assigned to the briquettes. Only a limited number of people could be offered. Although ordinary people could buy briquettes, nobody was willing to buy such things.
