Chapter 1072: Chapter 1068: Our Marshal is Looking for You

Tang Ye fell silent. There were many sanctuaries in Longyang City, and not just a single one. Before the post-apocalyptic outbreak, Lin City had also opened several sanctuaries to accept surviving survivors. At that time, Tang Ye, who was in a rental house, heard the continuous roaring of zombies downstairs. The fear of the unknown made him dare not face those things, so he preferred to hide in the rental house, begging the national military to come to their rescue.

As for how many sanctuaries there were in Longyang City, he had no idea. He didn’t even know where the Cigong Sanctuary was located. After Jiuge was taken down by the Peace Party, Tang Ye had also learned from Ah Fu and Zhao Lan about a man named Lin Jie, who was completely insane, and was an unequivocal thug before the Apocalypse. His notoriety was widespread, but Tang Ye did not deal with these matters much, nor did he understand how terrifying Lin Jie was before the Apocalypse.

While perusing information about him, Tang Ye read a comment describing Lin Jie as the Jack the Ripper of China.

And such a person had kidnapped Li Qingtian. Tang Ye couldn’t guarantee that she would survive in his hands, especially now that she was his own relative!

"Cigong Sanctuary..." Tang Ye repeated the name of the sanctuary, his gaze growing ominously dark, making it unclear what he was thinking.

The air seemed to thicken around him, and the soldiers nearby didn’t dare to breathe too loudly due to Tang Ye’s unusual demeanor.

However, at this moment, a soldier began to ponder and slowly murmured, "Cigong Sanctuary... Cigong~ Cigong Sanctuary?"

His quiet murmuring naturally reached the ears of the soldiers around him who glanced at him but didn’t pay much attention. Soon after, he suddenly shouted, startling his nearby companions. Everyone, including Tang Ye, turned their attention to him.

"Ah! I’ve figured it out. Cigong Sanctuary! I know this sanctuary! Marshal, don’t worry, I know someone from there, I’ll take you to them!" He kept repeating the sanctuary’s name in his mind until he was certain. He had seen this sanctuary before; it was where the people who arrived last night were from! And he also knew where they lived!

Tang Ye’s eyes lit up as he asked, "You know?"

"Yes, I know a few people from that sanctuary; I met them yesterday. Marshal, we should hurry and find them. They might be about to leave for the Central District to return to their sanctuary."

"Lead the way."

A military vehicle sped over and stopped beside Tang Ye.

"Let’s go, get on." Tang Ye gestured, and several soldiers got into the vehicle with the soldier who claimed to know people from the sanctuary. He raised his hand and pointed in a direction, saying, "Go that way, that’s where they went before."

Following the soldier’s directions, the roar of the military vehicle’s engine started up, the power cranked to the max, rapidly whisking past streets as people hurriedly made way.

Under the guidance of this soldier, it took only two minutes to find the so-called sanctuary people.

He raised his hand again, pointing ahead and shouting, "There they are, those are the sanctuary people."

Tang Ye looked in the direction the soldier was pointing. There sat two people on the street, their clothes stained with dust, faces bearing some injuries. Their skin was much paler compared to the residents of the Central District, clearly because they were used to living in a place without sunlight exposure, their skin moist and pallid, which made them stand out from the others at first glance.

They were sitting on the steps by the roadside, and passers-by hurried past them, creating a somewhat chaotic scene.

"Where on earth did Chen Jing go?"

"Who knows, but who is that talking to him? Why don’t I recognize them? Chen Jing seems really scared of them."

"Let’s just drop it, shall we? Let’s go back. I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen if we stay here any longer."

"After so many deaths, how are we going to explain this to the chief when we get back?"

"What can we do? Our post is overrun with zombies. Old Sun and the others are definitely dead. I wonder what’s up with Chen Jing; has he left this place and headed for our sanctuary?"

Wei Ba and another sanctuary soldier were talking, twirling a coarse cigarette purchased from the United District in his hand. But Wei Ba’s face appeared somewhat gloomy compared to the other soldier, for some reason, ever since he saw the swathes of mutated monsters in Chenkun District, he had been feeling uneasy.

Perhaps it was because the scene he witnessed at the onset of the post-apocalyptic outbreak resonated with what he had just seen, making him feel extremely oppressed.

Just as Wei Ba was about to say something else, a Peace Party strategic transport vehicle suddenly pulled up in front of them and came to a screeching halt.

"That’s him, his name is Wei Ba."

When Wei Ba heard his own name, he was taken aback and looked up at the truck. There was a soldier pointing at him, and, besides this soldier, there were several other Peace Party soldiers on the truck.

And the soldier pointing at him and who knew his name, Wei Ba recognized. He was the soldier who had been with Old Hu the previous night, one of Ding Fulong’s cronies, who people seemed to call Old Cao.

It was this person to whom Wei Ba had asked to borrow some Yajin just yesterday; however, he did not lend him any.

"Wei Ba," the soldier called out to him.

"Old Cao? What do you want with me?"

Wei Ba’s face was full of deep confusion as he really didn’t understand what these Peace Party soldiers wanted with him. Among these soldiers, Wei Ba only recognized Old Cao.

As he scanned the group, his expression suddenly froze the next second; amidst these people, he saw a very familiar figure, one he couldn’t possibly forget — it was Li Henian, the ruler of the United District!

"The Marshal of the United District!" Wei Ba exclaimed inwardly, his mind swirling with even more questions, but he didn’t voice them. However, at the sight of Tang Ye, he and another person quickly stood up from the steps.

This man called Li Henian was a Level 7 New Human Powerhouse of the United District, and an unprecedented Level 7 Advancement Body within the sanctuary!

This made Wei Ba dare not act presumptuously. Having spent just under twenty-four hours in the United District, he had come to understand that this place called the United District, as well as other Sanctuary Cities in today’s world, were quite different from the sanctuaries!

The difference was in the worldview. In sanctuaries, there was still equality among all people, but in the aboveground Sanctuary Cities, New Humans possessed tremendous authority; even killing someone was not considered a big deal. Here, he couldn’t afford to hold on to the notion of equality — one misstep could lead to his death!

"It’s not me who’s looking for you; it’s our Marshal who wants to see you," Old Cao said.
