Chapter 167: Check-In the First District of Shenhai Island
Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave
"Generally, elites live in high-rise apartments. Presently, only two scientists with significant achievements in the virus research had the privilege to live in the mountain villas. It is possible for professor Zhang to live in a villa too. That would be great." Shen Tao said with a trace of respect on his face. No matter what time, scientists were always respected.
"Jiang little brother, you’re powerful, so you will have the opportunity to live in the high-rise apartment area." Shen Tao said.
Jiang Liushi nodded. It was obvious that Shen Tao clearly misunderstood the reason he had asked. However, Jiang Liushi didn’t want to ask where Li Yuxin lived.
"Professor Zhang needs to take a thorough physical exam, and we also have to go to quarantine and rehabilitation. We’ll have to say goodbye and part our ways for now. It will be easy for me to learn where you live, as soon as the military gives me the three mutant nuclei, I will immediately bring them." Shen Tao said.
Jiang Liushi nodded his head affirmatively, "No problem."
"We’re leaving first. I’m anticipating to drink with you again in a few days!" Shen Tao laughed.
Professor Zhang and his granddaughter Zhang Jiaying also got off to bid farewell, especially Zhang Jiaying, whose eyes were red. She was very reluctant taking Jiang Zhuying and Ran Xiyu's hands, and then said to Jiang Liushi, "Jiang brother, Goodbye. Please come to see us later."
"Okay, little Jiaying. Goodbye for now." Jiang Liushi extended his hand and patted her head.
The military had a special channel to carry out its tasks. Shen Tao returned to the military truck and drove the vehicle away. Zhang Jiaying lying on the car’s window still waved her hands to Jiang Liushi.
"Let's go, we should go into the city, too," Jiang Liushi said. They drove to the quarantine point.
Many refugees were looking at them with envious looks.
Those pretty and beautiful art soldiers had just finished receiving three other individuals, and immediately smiled welcoming them.
"Hello, welcome to the first district of Shenhai Island. Please get off and accept our quarantine policy, we’ll also ask you several questions." Tall literary soldiers went over to the driver's seat and said. Wearing a tight fit uniform, with leather boots, she looked very sexy.
Jiang Liushi and the others got off and walked toward the quarantine station. After finishing the first physical examination, then they were led to a table with two major officers already sitting.
"Hello." The two officers were smiling.
"Here is a manual with rules concerning the first district of Shenhai Island. There are two extremely important rules. First one, nobody is allowed to kill and fight. The second one, vehicles can enter the city, but usually, you can’t drive in the city unless you are ready to leave. Generally speaking, the tenancy term lasts one month per house, and it will be renewed as long as you’re staying there. During this period of time, if you go out, it will be reserved for another month. However, after that month, if you haven’t returned, then it will be available for others to rent the place. The manual has all information and details you’ll need, so you should read it carefully." An officer took out a handbook and handed it to Jiang Liushi.
They would not be allowed to drive in the city... Jiang Liushi frowned, but he understood that point. If all survivor squads drove their cars, the traffic jam would be a big problem. Fortunately, his MCV could be driven automatically and fighting was prohibited in the city, so Jiang Liushi could relax.
"In addition, this is the badge for paranormals." Another officer came up with four badges, giving them to Jiang Zhuying, Ran Xiyu, Zhang Hai and Sun Kun respectively.
It seemed that the two officers were paranormals, so they could judge them through their energy fluctuations. Although Jiang Liushi had developed his brain domain abilities and activated the blood vessel, there were no energy fluctuations coming from his body because his ability was obtained through gene evolution, not through virus mutation; it was quite normal that those officers judged him as an ordinary person.
"There is something wrong. Jiang brother…" Zhang Hai said fretfully.
"It’s nothing." Jiang Liushi stopped him as his ability was difficult to explain and he didn’t want to cause troubles with the military.
"Is this mandatory to wear?" Jiang Zhuying holding this badge, frowned and said, "Won’t we look like primary school students after putting it on?"
"It isn’t mandatory." That officer shook his head.
Then Jiang Liushi asked, "How about our accommodation?"
The officers checked on the computer and said, "Housing is allocated according to the number of paranormal as well as your strength. As a result, you can get about four houses and you have the right to choose, between four single rooms or two suits." Jiang Liushi nodded his head.
"We could select two suites." Jiang Zhuying said immediately, and then she naughtily turned to her brother pulling a face, "I would like to live with my brother in a suite."
"Well… I’d like to live with you in the same room." Ran Xiyu said.
[Ying has to live with us…] Jiang Liushi thought for a moment and asked, "Can we choose one suit for four and another suit for two?"
The officer glanced at him and said, "Yes, wait a moment and I will arrange them for you immediately."
"Keys and this is the address" An officer handed over two keys.
"In addition, we have a trading room in the first district of Shenhai Island. If you need to buy something, you can go over there. Moreover, the military puts many tasks in that area. It’s the fastest way for you to earn resources. Enjoy your stay in the first district of Shenhai Island." The two officers said with enthusiastic attitude.
The outskirts of the first district of Shenhai Island was a large construction site, but as vehicles were approaching the central area, the surrounding areas looked ‘normal’, like before doomsday.
There were shops on both sides of the street, and quite a few pedestrians on the road; it didn’t look deserted at all. Most of them were walking together, probably survivor squads.
Jiang Liushi’s team was assigned to a residence in the same plot, across two to three hundred meters away. That housing estate could be regarded as the best one in the first district of Shenhai Island with green belt and parking spaces downstairs.
They casually went to check their rooms and Jiang Zhuying urged to go out for a walk; it was a matter of common sense among people.
"I just saw a hairdresser & barber shop! I have not cut hair for a long time, will you come with us?" Jiang Zhuying clutching her brother's arm constantly shook and asked in a cute way.
Hearing Jiang Zhuying’s words, Ran Xiyu was rather intrigued. It was a quite natural thing for girls to pursuit beauty since they could…
However, Ying didn’t react because she had no idea about hairdressing. What’s that?
"Let’s go! I want you to come with us."
Jiang Liushi couldn’t do anything about his sister, so he said, "We should bring some mutant meat to use as currency for our expenses." A haircut was certainly not expensive because, in doomsday, only a few people could afford it.
Ying left and Jiang Liushi accompanied the two beautiful girls to the hair salon. However, after sitting in the hair salon for a while, Jiang Liushi felt unable to sit anymore so he said to them, "You can continue with what you’re doing. I want to go out and look around." It was boring for most men accompanying girls to shops, so Jiang Liushi decided to go to the trading hall. Walking along the street slowly, Jiang Liushi had a strange feeling, as if he was suddenly in a good mood.
"Thank you, Childe Li. Come again next time." At that moment, a few people came out from the shop before Jiang Liushi. Their faces were flustered red, and behind them followed a man in a suit, nodding his head while smiling.
"They must be rich people to have the ability to eat at Jingchun Hall." Jiang Liushi heard two bystanders saying.
Although the restaurant had a good name, in fact, it looked woebegone.
"Next time, if anyone comes to sell vintage wine, you should find someone to inform me." The group’s leader said in a loud voice.
"No problem! Since Childe Li has said so, I will do as you said." The boss nodded.
Jiang Liushi just gave a glance, and then passed by.
"Jiang Liushi?" At that moment, a surprised voice called him.
Jiang Liushi turned around only to be surprised. He just glanced at him and he found this man was an acquaintance…
"Li Qinghui?" Jiang Liushi felt surprised.
"It is unbelievable! It’s a miracle to find you here!" Li Qinghui exasperatedly shouted.
"You're leading a wonderful life here, right?" Jiang Liushi asked according to what he heard before.
"No, what Childe Li..." Li Qinghui felt embarrassed, and then lowered his voice saying, "I am under the wing of a boss, so I came here to help my boss buying some wine… "
"Oh, I got it." Jiang Liushi smiled. He lowered his voice, apparently, he was afraid of bystanders listening to their conversation.
"You look the same as before. We haven’t seen each other since we graduated from high school, right?" Li Qinghui patted Jiang Liushi’s shoulder and laughed.
"Yeah," Jiang said.
"It is not easy to live and meet each other! When did you arrive?" Li Qinghui asked.
"Me? I arrived today." Jiang Liushi replied.
"Oh, that’s not an easy thing." Li Qinghui felt pity for Jiang Liushi because he didn’t know him at all.
"What are you going to do now? It is safe but it's still hard to live." Li Qinghui asked again.
"I'm going to the trading hall," Jiang Liushi said.
"Are you sure? Most jobs involve repairing the city wall. You won’t be able to bear it at all, trust me! You’re really lucky to have met me." Li Qinghui pulled Jiang Liushi without explaining, and turned saying to a subordinate, "Help me to tell the boss I met an old classmate."
His companions nodded and said, "Go and take it easy."
"Let’s go, my old classmate, I'll take you to a good place." Li Qinghui took Jiang Liushi away.
