The car drove for a long time, slowly approaching the mobile fortress in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Zhou Yong sat in the car, and from a considerable distance, he could already see Su Ling's mobile fortress.
His first reaction upon seeing the mobile fortress was surprise.
He himself was from City A and had some understanding of its buildings.
Su Ling's sudden, newly-appearing mobile fortress caught him completely off guard.
Such a luxurious and sprawling structure appearing in City A was hard to miss and not attract attention.
Su Ling's mobile fortress was situated in City A, near the new base, its entire structure seamlessly integrated with the ground.
Zhou Yong found this colossal entity, which had appeared out of nowhere in such a short time, both novel and unbelievable.
He remembered visiting this area for work before the apocalypse, and there was no sign of any new structures then. How could it be that upon returning here, such a massive castle had materialized?
Sitting in the car, Zhou Yong stared at Su Ling's mobile fortress. The closer they got, the more fascinated he became.
Chu Jin, wearing sunglasses, leaned against the car window, having slept soundly during the journey back.
Zhou Yong had intended to ask Chu Jin about the mobile fortress, but when he turned, he saw Chu Jin sleeping soundly with his mouth agape.
He seemed to be dreaming, occasionally smacking his lips as if eating something delicious.
The words on the tip of Zhou Yong's tongue retreated when he saw Chu Jin like this.
Of course, he could have asked Shang Qi or Su Ling, but he dared not open his mouth.
Ever since Su Ling had startled him by jumping from the building, and he had looked at her a few extra times, he noticed Shang Qi's gaze towards him was anything but friendly.
How to describe it?
It wasn't the look of a man worried about another man coveting his woman, but rather the look of someone wanting to kill another person.
As for why Shang Qi would want to kill him, Zhou Yong had pondered it seriously on the way back to the mobile fortress.
Perhaps Shang Qi thought he was too useless, too much of a burden.
But because they had looted his entire pharmaceutical factory, they had brought him along as a form of compensation.
He had already felt Chu Jin's blatant disdain while at Chu Jin's place.
Actually, he didn't need them to tell him; he already felt he was rather pathetic and useless.
Zhou Yong, understanding his own situation, found he could only talk to Chu Jin. As for Shang Qi, he dared not utter a word.
And Su Ling, he was even less inclined to approach and inquire.
Su Ling was flanked by two men on either side, and he feared that the moment he called out Su Ling's name, he would be subjected to a barrage of glares from the two big men.
With no other recourse, Zhou Yong had no choice but to keep it all in, and he did so for the entire journey.
He held it all in until they arrived at the fortress and the car drove inside.
Shang Qi parked the car and got out.
Su Ling also unbuckled her seatbelt and exited the vehicle.
As for Zhou Yong, from the moment they entered the mobile fortress, he had been in a state of shock, so stunned he was speechless.
Su Ling's mobile fortress had shattered his perception, his understanding of the apocalypse, and his view of Su Ling and her group.
At this moment, he finally understood why Su Ling could speak with such audacious confidence.
It was because Su Ling possessed such a complete and self-sufficient mobile fortress that she never had to worry about resources.
Su Ling's mobile fortress had its own plantations, livestock farms, aquaculture ponds... It was essentially a miniature Earth ecosystem, truly the most powerful base in the apocalypse!
