Chapter 153: Sudden unexpected occurrence

Three days before Long Zhanye and Huo Zaiyuan's arrival, Y City commenced evacuation. Today, when the pair arrived, the last survivors of Y's safe zone has already reached X City.

From walking to the safe zone's command centre to meeting with the two district leaders and discussing their migration plan, it takes Long Zhanye two hours to complete his task.

Adding together the total survivors from both safe zones, the final number comes up to more than fifty thousand. The vehicles responsible for transportation of both humans and other necessary supplies will be large container trucks. After ensuring all sufficient preparation is completed, a signal is given and everyone is assigned to board a select truck. A convoy consisting of several hundred large vehicles begin to depart, making for a rather spectacular scene.

In charge of escort, Long Zhanye and Huo Zaiyuan's Hummer takes the lead, flanked by X City's military vehicles. In the middle of the convoy are the trucks, with Y City's military bringing up the rear. Throughout the entire journey, the head and the tail of this procession is connected via a short-range wireless communication line.

"Reporting to senior officer Long! Everything is prepared and ready," X City's district leader salutes as he speaks, informing Long Zhanye with a solemn tone. It is clear to see that he feels pretty nervous regarding this migration, especially with his responsibilities as a leader.

"Un, take this stack of talismans and make sure to stick one on each vehicle!" Long Zhanye hands over the pile of yellow paper talismans Huo Zaiyuan gave him to the district leader.

The man blinks, startled, as he receives the large pile of talismans. Nonetheless, he recovers quickly and clicks his heels once more before leaving.

During the apocalypse, people begin to view a Taoist's powers as mystical and formidable. Consequently, a Taoist talisman is an extremely precious resource. A Taoist priest's status is high above the common people, and they are deeply respected. However, Long Zhanye unexpectedly hands over a huge amount of priceless talisman to be pasted on the bodies of the vehicles instead of humans... This truly shocks him greatly.

Sticking a talisman on a car is something he has never seen done before.

"Little Yuan, you...you are a Taoist priest!" Having witnessed him handing the talismans over to Long Zhanye, Shuozi exclaims from where he stands off to the side. A flicker of astonishment flashes in his eyes, and he can't help inwardly sighing in admiration.

As expected of the little Yuan he likes most. More than a year since they last met, and he has already become a Taoist priest. The way he sees it, little Yuan is not only good-looking, but is extremely skilled too...

As this thought races across his mind, the captivated blush rises again, and adoration towards this youth increases.

"You can say that, I suppose." Huo Zaiyuan nods and looks at Shuozi. "Older brother Shuozi, one will be very exhausted during this long journey. Young people might not need to worry about it, but the village's grandfathers and grandmothers are a different story, as well as the children. Here, take this with you."

Turning around, he opens the door of the Hummer and removes a large, eco-friendly bag[1] filled with various snacks and candies.

"This..." Staring at the large pile of foodstuff, Shuozi trails off, slightly dazed.

"It doesn't matter. I still have a lot more from my scavenging missions. Take this with you."

During the six months he stayed in the small mountain village, the residents took very good care of him. Even all the vegetables, fruits and seeds he purchased from them was obtained at the lowest price.
