Lin Mo rubbed his fingers together forcefully, but continued to ask about the important matter:

"What about the management structure? Who's in charge?"

"A typical military control system."

Guan Xue raised her eyebrows slightly, but her report remained clear and organized.

"The supreme commander's surname is Lu. He is a general and I've heard he's very strong, but no one knows for sure what his exact rank is."

He has a regular army and a rapid reaction force composed of high-level mutants. Although the number of soldiers is small, each one of them is a skilled fighter of A-level or above.

However, you can't just enter that safe zone whenever you want.

Outsiders must pass a medical examination and background check, and also pay a considerable entry fee, which can be either crystal cores or supplies.

Once inside, you can accept quests to earn contribution points, which can then be used to exchange for supplies and potions.

She paused, glanced at Lin Mo, and added:

"Gene serums are strictly controlled resources even in safe zones. To exchange for them, you need not only a lot of contribution points, but also the corresponding access level."

Foreign survivors who want to exchange for high-level potions usually have to stay in the safe zone for several months to accumulate enough contribution points, and then find someone to vouch for them before they can apply for the exchange qualification.

but……"

She paused for a moment.

"If you can prove your combat capabilities, the higher-ups in the safe zone will actively try to recruit you, and then the terms will be much easier to negotiate. With your strength, it shouldn't be difficult."

Lin Mo memorized all this information, then inquired about the location of the airport's fuel depot before finally getting up to place Guan Xue on the coffee table.

Compared to other women, Guan Xue always gave him the feeling of being a big star, which made him feel very accomplished.

After a long time, Lin Mo arrived in World Two with a thought.

The zombies in the airport terminal smelled the presence of living people and turned around in unison, roaring as they pounced towards Lin Mo.

He drew his longsword from the void, lightly touched the ground with his feet on the Cloud Step, and his whole body transformed into a blur as he swept into the horde of corpses.

The Quanzhen sword technique danced like a silver snake, tracing sharp arcs through the dimly lit hall. Zombie heads and severed limbs flew everywhere under the sword's edge, and foul-smelling black blood splattered all over the already shattered marble floor tiles.

He hacked his way through the entire waiting hall, arriving at the floor-to-ceiling window that had long since lost its glass. He lightly touched the window frame with his toes and burst out of the window.

Once outdoors, Lin Mo leaped onto the roof of the airport building in a few bounds.

He looked around, his gaze sweeping over the rusted luggage carts and several skeletons that had been gnawed clean on the runway.

The two-story-tall zombie king had vanished without a trace, leaving only a deep trench and a charred patch of ground corroded by strong acid on the runway.

Seeing that the other person was not there, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This saved him a lot of trouble.

He jumped off the roof and landed on the track.

Five passenger planes were parked crookedly on the tarmac, their fuselages covered in thick dust. Some of the windows were broken, but the overall structure was intact and the engines were still in place.

He loaded the passenger planes into the hangar one by one, then the remaining aviation fuel in the fuel depot, and finally the baggage tractors, power supply vehicles, and boarding stairs parked next to the hangar.

After confirming that he hadn't forgotten anything useful, he dusted off his hands and turned to head towards the official safe zone in the southeast.

After walking all day, as darkness fell, he heard gunshots beside an abandoned highway.

The sound came from the service area not far ahead, mixed with a few hoarse roars and a sharp cat meow.

The cat's meow was exceptionally shrill, clearly indicating it was a mutated beast.

Lin Mo didn't want to meddle, but when his gaze swept over the team trapped in the gas station by the mutated cat, he involuntarily stopped in his tracks.

The team consisted of five or six people, who were cornered in the convenience store of a gas station by a mutated cat the size of a cheetah.

The mutated cat, covered in dark gray scales and with a bone spur at the end of its tail, was pacing back and forth in front of the convenience store, as if toying with its prey.

The glass door of the convenience store was already shattered. Several people were hiding behind the cash register. The guns in their hands did little damage to the mutated cats. The bullets only sparked a few sparks when they hit the scales.

A young woman was squatting behind the cashier. Although her face was covered in dust and blood, and her hair was messy and stuck to her cheeks, he would never mistake that face for hers.

Li Jing.

His ex-girlfriend in the main world.

Lin Mo leaned against the back of the abandoned truck, staring at Li Jing's dirty face for several seconds.

Where is her mother, Yang Liu?

And where is Lin Mo in this world?

Saving Li Jing might answer both of these questions.

With a sigh, Lin Mo looked around and, seeing that there were no zombies, took out his Barrett from his spatial storage.

He aimed the crosshair at the mutant cat's head and pulled the trigger.

A deafening explosion ripped through the wilderness as the mutated cat's head was blown to pieces by a bullet.

Hearing the commotion, the people in the convenience store peeked out and saw the mutated cat being killed. A look of joy flashed across their faces.

The burly man at the head of the group was the first to react, shouting loudly in Lin Mo's direction:

"Which friend came to help?"

Thank you so much for saving my life!

Lin Mo did not respond, but slowly walked out and came to the mutated cat's corpse.

He crouched down and used his dagger to rummage through the mutated cat's white, tofu-like flesh. After a moment, he found a crystal core with a dark orange sheen, dug it out, and casually stuffed it into his pocket.

The emergency lights in the store were still on, casting a dim yellow light on the faces of the survivors, each one filled with shock and relief.

One of the faces, after seeing Lin Mo's appearance clearly, changed from shock to disbelief.

Li Jing stood behind Li Yuan, her eyes fixed on the figure walking in against the twilight at the door.

The man looked exactly like someone she remembered...

No, it's the same person.

It was her own ex-boyfriend, who was so tall he reached past her knees and was incredibly handsome!

Seeing Lin Mo looking at her as well, Li Jing remained silent for two seconds before breaking the awkward silence. Her voice became somewhat hoarse, and her tone was full of disbelief:

"Lin Mo? You're not dead?"

Lin Mo's lips curled slightly:

"What, you really want me dead?"

Li Jing's eyes reddened at those words, and she quickly shook her head:

"How could that be?"

When the apocalypse first broke out, I searched everywhere for you, but I couldn't find you. I thought you were dead.

As she spoke the last few words, her voice trembled slightly, and a thin layer of mist rose in her eyes. It was hard to tell whether she was genuinely aggrieved or simply putting on a great performance.

Li Yuan's gaze swept back and forth between Lin Mo and Li Jing, his brows furrowing slightly.

He took half a step forward, subtly placing his shoulder in front of Li Jing; this subconscious defensive action did not escape Lin Mo's notice.

Then he turned to Li Jing and asked in a seemingly casual but actually scrutinizing tone:

"Who is this person? Do you know him?"
