Chapter 480: Chapter 477 - The Inescapable Civilization_1

"Commander Wen... he’s not a small figure."

"It varies from person to person."

The two of them carried on their conversation. In Su Sigui’s past life, Wen Yulong was exceptional. He stayed unharmed, even when Li Henian took control of South China and silenced all other powerful forces. Despite Li Henian’s splendor as the overlord of South China, his forces never managed to take control of Wen Yulong’s Guanglan Base.

That’s beside the point though, Su Sigui sought him out simply because he knew a certain individual who was the only Level 9 New Human ten years after the Apocalypse!

Not only did Wen Yulong know the Level 9 New Human, but they were also close friends. It was said that they had referred to each other as brothers even before the Apocalypse.

The two exchanged pleasantries, oblivious to a person not too far away who was eavesdropping on their conversation.

With her hands gripping a long box, Chen Bieli seemed to be daydreaming in the direction of Lin City, ignoring even the loud call of Jin Wenyi.

At that moment, a short and hunched middle-aged man spotted her silhouette. His eyes lit up. Everybody loved beauty, regardless of age.

The man seemed to be in his early forties. Perhaps due to evolution, his back was thick, curving out by three or four inches, appearing as if he was carrying a school bag.

Upon realizing that Chen Bieli was a regular human, he gave a lewd smile and headed over with his group, attempting to grope her waist.

Before he could touch her, a grunt escaped him. A line of blood appeared across his chest and he fell to the ground, split in half - a sight extremely gruesome!

"Ah!"

Everything happened so fast that the bystanders hadn’t even comprehended the situation fully when they saw the man on the ground, screaming as his body split in two.

As if only just noticing, Chen Bieli screamed and hurriedly fled upon seeing such a bloody scene. The others didn’t find this strange, as they were all New Humans, and could clearly tell that the girl was just an ordinary human.

Who here was not a New Human? Even Level 1 New Humans were scarce. An ordinary human’s appearance could only suggest that she was the child of a big shot or a kept lover.

However, they didn’t see the cold glint that flashed across Chen Bieli’s eyes as she left. After walking around the vicinity, she returned to a location not too far from her previous spot to continue listening to the conversation between Su Sigui and Wen Yulong.

"Mayor Su, as the saying goes, one wouldn’t walk into a temple without a cause. We’re strangers, so you must have a reason for seeking me out, right?"

The way Wen Yulong spoke was quaint, making others feel a bit uncomfortable conversing with him. However, Su Sigui, who seemed as if he had been friends with him for many years, showed no signs of discomfort.

"Commander Wen is too kind. This time, I am searching for someone."

"Who?" Wen Yulong’s face showed a hint of surprise.

"Do you know where Ning Tianlang is?"

Upon hearing her question, Wen Yulong’s face showed signs of contemplation as he searched his memory for any information on this person. Chen Bieli, who was not too far away, started upon hearing Ning Tianlang’s name and turned her head to look at Su Sigui with a sense of shock. She didn’t recall Ning Tianlang having a friend like her.

"Why is she looking for him..."

In the later stages of the Apocalypse, Ning Tianlang was revered as a god by humanity. He was the only Level 9 New Human!

Her reason for striking up a conversation with Wen Yulong was because Ning Tianlang was rumored to be his closest friend.

A Level 9 New Human was an unconquerable idol in Su Sigui’s heart before her rebirth. However, after being reborn, Su Sigui had become stronger and the once mountain-like figure of her idol seemed to grow smaller and smaller.

Her goal was the Zombie King, not just the White-haired Zombie King but also the other five! Even though there were six Zombie Kings, humans had limited capabilities. Even a Level 9 Human couldn’t defeat a Level 9 Zombie King under the same circumstances!

Moreover, she couldn’t guarantee whether she could evolve to Level 9 in the future. If it was uncertain, she would play safe, gather multiple people with huge future potential, ensure their loyalty, and then fight the Zombie Kings!

Li Henian seemed to have the potential to evolve into a Level 9 New Human, but his previous words had dashed Su Sigui’s hopes. Unless absolutely necessary, she dare not use a person she can’t control, and Li Henian was one such person.

Right now, Su Sigui was focusing on her former idol. She might not know much about Li Henian, but she knew a little about Ning Tianlang.

As she watched Wen Yulong’s facial expression change from perplexed to doubtful, and then to surprised, she asked, "You are friends, right? Can’t remember?"

Wen Yulong shook his head and said, "I recall Ning Tianlang... but I wouldn’t say we’re friends — barely acquaintances."

"Acquaintances?"

Su Sigui was taken aback, thinking to herself: "So it’s true, rumors can’t be trusted."

Before the Apocalypse, people said that Wen Yulong and Ning Tianlang were close, even like brothers. Now it seemed, how could a person like Ning Tianlang have a sole brother?

It’s well known that the higher one’s status, the more lonely and ruthless one becomes.

"At the beginning of the New Era of Black Rain, when he established a safe zone in Lin City, we chatted at the airport in the capital. He did contribute to the people’s lives. But all in all, it was still just one meeting. Wouldn’t call that ’friends’, would you?"

"So you don’t know where he is now, do you, Commander Wen?"

Wen Yulong shook his head. Su Sigui didn’t say anything else but suddenly, imitating ancient courtesies, she bowed her hand to Wen Yulong in farewell.

Wen Yulong was startled for a moment and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. From the moment Su Sigui bowed, his gaze towards her changed.

He returned Su Sigui’s bow and said, "It seems that Mayor Su is also someone who appreciates ancient Chinese civilization."

"Can’t say I appreciate it, it’s just that interacting with Commander Wen makes me think of many things."

"Oh, what did Mayor Su think of? Would you like to share?"

"I guess this civilization can’t be restored."

"Well, things are constantly changing, it’s not necessarily so. ’Man can conquer nature’ isn’t an empty phrase."

"Hope so. Goodbye, Commander."

"Goodbye."

With a wave of her hand, Su Sigui led the people of the City of Bright Moon away. Chen Bieli, who was not too far away, wormed her way through the crowd to catch up with Su Sigui once she saw her leave.

"Hey, sister, wait for me."

Feeling that someone was calling her, Su Sigui turned around doubtfully to see a pretty girl running towards her, light on her feet.
