We rested for a few hours until the sun started to set.

A few people set out again.

The car had been driving for two hours. From a long distance, Xiao Jin and the other two, sitting in the car, spotted the long convoy ahead.

"It seems this is the place!" Duan Chenghong felt very excited.

Once they enter the safe zone, they will be safe.

Ahead was a checkpoint specially set up by the security zone, specifically used to check whether passers-by were carrying the zombie virus.

The road leading to the safe zone was blocked by heavy roadblocks and sandbags, and the air was filled with a depressing and tense atmosphere.

Only by passing these levels can you enter that relatively safe haven.

The crowd in front of the checkpoint was extremely crowded, and everyone's face was filled with anxiety and desire.

They either pushed or shoved each other or talked in whispers, trying to find a little comfort in each other's eyes.

However, in this chaos and unrest, the most eye-catching thing are the armed guards on both sides of the checkpoint.

They were wearing black tactical vests, helmets, camouflage on their faces, and were fully armed. They looked like cold sculptures, staring at everyone.

His eyes are as sharp as an eagle, and he won't miss any suspicious movement.

The setting sun shone through the sparse clouds, dappled onto the checkpoint, but it was unable to dispel the haze here.

The automatic rifles in the hands of the guards shone coldly in the sunlight. Their fingers rested lightly on the triggers, their muscles tensed, ready to deal with possible emergencies at any time.

At the front of the checkpoint stood several doctors wearing white coats and tight protective masks.

Their eyes hidden behind the goggles were unusually calm and serious.

At this moment, the doctors were holding rows of test strips in their hands. Anyone who wanted to enter the safe zone had to extend their finger for the doctor to draw blood.

Blood fell on the small test paper. If it passed, you would be allowed to pass. If it failed...

Xiao Jin was sitting in the car and found the scene quite interesting.

She didn't expect that the government of this world could produce a test strip for detecting the zombie virus so quickly.

The team crawled forward slowly and heavily, with vehicles lined up one after another.

Xiao Jin and her group's car moved slowly with the team, the low roar of the engine blending with the noise of the surrounding crowd.

The air was filled with the smell of gasoline, sweat, and a subtle hint of fear that made people hold their breath.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the scenery outside the car window seemed to be paused. Xiao Jin looked and realized that it would take more than an hour for them to line up.

Just then, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence in front of the checkpoint.

A ragged, pale man staggered towards me, his eyes full of fear and despair.

"Please, let me in, my daughter is inside..."

The guards immediately became alert, pointed their guns at him and shouted at him to stop.

"Stop, don't move!"

However, the man seemed not to have heard anything and continued to rush forward, even pushing the guards.

This sudden move actually ruined the situation. The originally tense atmosphere was completely broken.

The guard's face changed instantly. Without any hesitation, he raised the gun in his hand, pointed it at the man's finger and pulled the trigger.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" A few crisp and deadly gunshots echoed in the open space, making people feel cold.

The people around seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and screamed in panic.

On the other side, several shocking bloody holes suddenly appeared on the man's chest. Blood gushed out like a flood, staining his clothes red.

The man staggered a few steps, his body swayed, and finally fell to the ground powerlessly, his eyes still fixed on the safe zone not far away, his eyes full of unwillingness.

"Murder! Murder!" The screams around came one after another, like a flame ignited by fear, spreading rapidly, burning everyone's heart with anxiety.

The crowd began to flee in all directions, some trying to find cover, others just running blindly.

The captain of the guard in charge of the checkpoint glared fiercely at the subordinate who fired the gun without authorization.

Then, he raised the gun in his hand without hesitation, pointing the muzzle upwards, and fired several shots in succession.

The piercing sound of the gunshots echoed in everyone's ears like thunder, shaking their hearts and minds.

People subconsciously covered their heads and squatted on the ground, holding back the screams from their mouths.

After a while, the captain of the guard said, "Behave yourself. I won't care if you attract zombies here. I'll say it again."

He knocked on the bulletin board next to him with the muzzle of his gun: "No one is allowed to cut in line, and must be tested for the virus. Also, anyone who is injured must explain the source of the wound and go to the quarantine area for isolation.

You can enter the safe zone only after waiting for 6 hours without any problems.

Now, the team continues..."

No one dared to say anything, they just lined up again silently. The dead man was also dragged away by the guards.

In the back, Duan Chenghong slammed his palm heavily on the steering wheel with anger on his face.

"How could they do this? They could just rush through the barrier and drive him away. Why did they have to kill him?"

Xiao Jin stared ahead for a long time. It seemed that the water in this safe zone was very deep. And those guards were definitely not real military men.

Xiao Jin: "Keep a low profile after you go in, and it's best not to get into conflict with the guards."

After entering the safe zone, Xiao Jin will separate from Duan Chenghong's family. This can be regarded as his last advice.

Duan Chenghong looked unhappy, but he knew Xiao Jin was doing this for his own good, so he nodded: "I know."

After the scare, the atmosphere before the checkpoint became even more tense.

Everyone was silent, just lowered their heads and moved forward, and soon they reached Xiao Jin and the others.

First park the car to the other side, the checkpoint staff will check the inside of the car. Then Xiao Jin and the others all got out of the car and stood in front of the staff.

"Here, fill in all your personal information, especially your superpowers." The other party handed over a few sheets of paper.

Filling in basic information is a necessary operation. However, when Duan Chenghong took the information form, he couldn't help but be surprised.

It turns out that everyone already knew about the superpowers. He thought that only his family had taken the lead!

I took a look at the information form, and it had the usual name, ID number, home address... but there were a few different items.

One is the supernatural power column.

Do you have superpowers? What kind of superpowers are they? Also, what are your specialties?

I'm afraid the last three questions are asked for the safe zone. Right now the safe zone is in a state of disrepair and in urgent need of all kinds of talents.

I think if you have a special skill, your treatment after entering the safe zone will be much better.

Duan Chenghong had a family to support, so after some hesitation, he decided to use his wind-related abilities. The same went for Duan Ziyue.

Xiao Jin and Cen Nian looked at each other and tacitly checked "no" on the supernatural power.

Just then, a sudden loud noise broke the silence.

"I really just fell down and got some scrapes on my skin. There's no need for quarantine." There was a hint of urgency and helplessness in the voice.

The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman with panicked eyes. Her hair was a little messy and there were a few drops of sweat on her forehead. It was obvious that she was frightened by the sudden change.

She was holding a little girl of about seven or eight years old in her arms. The little girl had tears in her eyes and her little face was covered with crystal tears. She was hugging the middle-aged woman's neck tightly with her hands.

She sobbed and called out, "Aunt, Aunt..."

Several uniformed, stern-faced guards formed a circle around them, surrounding them, with the black muzzles of their guns pointed mercilessly at the middle-aged woman.

The cold metallic luster reflects a heart-pounding light in the sunlight.

The fate of the man who had just broken through the checkpoint was still vivid in their minds. Seeing this, the people around him were like frightened birds, and they all retreated, fearing that they would be involved in this unprovoked disaster.

For a moment, the only sounds around were the helpless cries of the middle-aged woman and the little girl, and the guards' cold and ruthless orders.

"I don't care how you got injured. As long as you are injured, you must be isolated." The voice of one of the guards was particularly cold.

There was no trace of sympathy in his words, and his eyes were as sharp as a hawk, staring at the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman's face became paler and paler. Her lips trembled and she wanted to explain herself again, but she found that her voice had been swallowed by fear.

She lowered her head and dared not look directly at the gun. She could only look helplessly at the little girl in her arms, her eyes full of heartache and despair.

The little girl seemed to feel the despair as well. She cried even harder, her little shoulders shaking.

After a moment, the middle-aged woman couldn't help but said, "Nannan is still young, please..."

"Well, then let her go with you!" The guard sneered, with a slightly sarcastic look on his face.

Then, his eyes revealed an unquestionable determination, and his finger gently pulled the trigger, as if he was about to shoot.

Hearing his words, the middle-aged woman burst into tears.

On the other side, Duan Chenghong's clenched fists trembled slightly, veins bulged, and his eyes burned with rage.

As a father, he understands the heart of a parent too well. Needless to say, Duan Chenghong has already thought of the choice of middle-aged women.

"This is too bullying!" A young woman couldn't help but complain in a low voice. Although her voice was soft, it sounded particularly harsh in the quiet night.

"Yeah, the leader of the security zone must have been kicked in the head by a donkey!" a burly man echoed in a rough voice, his face full of anger and disdain.

"If he was really injured by a zombie, why would it take 6 hours? He turned into a zombie in ten minutes!"

But reason eventually overcame impulse. If the burly man wanted to stand out, he had to see if he was strong enough.

So he just glared at the guard fiercely, then turned his head away without saying anything else.

The middle-aged woman in the crowd looked pale, her eyes full of despair and helplessness.

She hugged the child tightly in her arms, and the child's little hands tightly grasped the corner of her clothes.

The middle-aged woman knew that once quarantined, she would be separated from her daughter. How could she feel at ease leaving her child alone in the chaotic safe zone?

"Aunt, I'm scared..." The child's tender voice rang in the ears of the middle-aged woman, like a sharp knife, piercing her heart.

The middle-aged woman took a deep breath and tried to force out a smile, even though that smile was uglier than crying. "Don't be afraid, auntie will protect you."

In the end, the middle-aged woman took her child to the quarantine area...

"Hiss~" Duan Chenghong's teeth were grinding loudly, and Liu Xin's eyes were red.

Just at this moment, a doctor in a white coat came over and said, "Have you finished filling it out? Here, each of you has a test strip. Drop some blood on it and check the reaction."

He then collected the information sheet and handed it to a staff member on the other side.

Then, everyone smeared their blood on the test paper as if they were testing their blood sugar.

In less than 5 seconds, changes appeared on the test paper. The originally white test paper turned blue.

"OK, passed."

The staff member holding the information sheet on the other side took a quick glance at it, and when he saw two of them, his eyes lit up visibly.

He stood up hurriedly and asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Duan and Ms. Duan?"

Duan Chenghong glanced at his wife comfortingly, then took a step forward and said, "I am Duan Chenghong, and Duan Ziyue is my daughter."

"Welcome to the Yunlu Safe Zone. We still have some tests to do for the psychics. Please follow me." The staff member was very respectful.

Then he took Duan Chenghong and his daughter to test their supernatural powers.

After all, people with special abilities are treated differently from ordinary people. On the one hand, the measurement can confirm their level and strength, and on the other hand, it can prevent someone from taking advantage of the situation and pretending to be a person with special abilities.

In less than five minutes, the three of them came back. The difference was that Duan Chenghong and Duan Ziyue had an orange badge on their chests.

I learned from Duan Chenghong that this badge represents a level 2 mutant.

"Everyone, you can go in now."

The staff member in charge of testing superpowers was so happy that his face was full of smiles. After all, if he recruited two people with superpowers during his working time, he would be given a lot of rewards.

"Because you are a superpower, Mr. Duan, the safe zone will only collect one-third of the supplies.

After entering the safety zone, there are also special parking spaces for vehicles. You don’t have to worry about losing your belongings. The patrol team will ensure the safety of your property.”

The staff saw Duan Chenghong and his party off in an almost flattering manner.

As soon as he got on the car, Duan Chenghong pursed his lips tightly, with reluctance and helplessness flashing in his eyes.

"Good fellow, if the superpowers are charged one third, then shouldn't ordinary people be charged half?"

The food, water, and even precious medicines, each of them was found bit by bit by them.

One third was given at once, and Duan Chenghong's heart felt like it was bleeding.

"This damn safe zone is so evil!" Duan Chenghong roared.

Liu Xin on the side comforted: "Alright, it's better to lose money than to suffer disaster. I can see that none of these people are easy to get along with!"
