#951 - Chapter 951: Highway Toll Station

The next day.

Lvyuan trading post in Anyong City.

Li Shenglin and his team checked the vehicles to ensure everything was in order and prepared to depart.

Having just arrived, they had already completed unloading and loading the supplies, delivering the necessary food and personnel to this outpost, and were now preparing to return with the traded goods.

"The survivors here are so enthusiastic! The outpost has only been open for less than a week and is already overflowing with all kinds of supplies. More importantly, there are so many talented people coming to join us!"

"Although we've screened out most of the less capable survivors, there are still more than thirty people who meet the recruitment standards! Some of them will be returning to the base with you this time for final review."

"So, we can only ask you to go back early and then trouble you to come back again next time."

Inside the outpost, Zhou Xin explained to Brother Li and Brother Liang in a good mood.

Yes.

The survivors in Anyong City were much more active than expected.

After learning about the authenticity of the Lvyuan outpost's trades and the importance it placed on talent, more and more survivors who received the news kept bringing whatever trade goods they could find to exchange for food.

They were simply too hungry.

Not to mention the scarcity of edible plants to begin with, coupled with the harsh conditions in Xiang Province, the survival of humans here was even more difficult than in other places.

Countless survivors who believed they possessed certain skills volunteered themselves, hoping to gain protection and a chance to leave this place through Lvyuan's talent recruitment program.

So, in a short period of time, this Lvyuan trading post rapidly developed.

"This is our job, there's no hardship or anything! Captain Zhou, you guys are the ones working hard here, having to receive so many survivors every day and guard against zombies and bad people."

Li Shenglin repeatedly said politely.

He didn't dare to take credit. The entire Lvyuan system was operating at full capacity for major development after the new year. It was absolutely worthwhile for them, these newly promoted captains, to contribute to the expansion of the base.

That was from the bottom of his heart.

"When you go back later, pay more attention. Recently, we've heard from those survivors that Xiang Province isn't very peaceful. Although we didn't feel that way when we came, if many people say so, it might not be groundless. Tell the team members to keep their eyes peeled on the way back and keep the drones on at all times for reconnaissance."

Zhou Xin suddenly cautioned.

This was a rumor she had heard from the survivors who had squeezed in these past few days.

It was said that many cannibalistic forces had emerged in Xiang Province, openly carrying out arson, killings, and looting against the scattered survivors outside!

Just hearing the rumors was a bit creepy!

Fortunately, the area where the cannibalistic forces were rampant was about two hundred kilometers away from Anyong City. At this distance, in theory, it wouldn't spread so quickly.

As long as Lvyuan's pace of development doesn't slow down, I believe it won't be long before we can send troops over here to wipe out those evil forces!

Guangnan Province had a similar situation before, but it gradually disappeared under Lvyuan's suppression, losing its breeding ground.

As for where the former cannibalistic thugs went, Lvyuan really hadn't specifically inquired. After all, there were as many as four provinces bordering Guangnan Province.

"Jiafu, when you go back with the transportation team today, pay more attention too. Remember to bring the message to your sister Yao Lei and Minister Zhao for me."

After giving the little beauty Jiafu another word of caution, the Lvyuan transportation team's six modified heavy trucks + one modified off-road vehicle left the outpost and headed towards Guangnan Province.

About one hundred kilometers away from Anyong City.

Near a certain highway intersection.

The original highway toll station had been dealt with at some point, with a lot of obstacles piled up in the middle of the road to block the passage of vehicles.

Several figures were looking around at the toll station sign, and several cars were parked on the ground, with more figures busy doing something.

"Big brother, it's so hard to see survivors this year. We've been setting up a stall here for two days and haven't seen a single person. What is the upper level of Hell thinking? Can doing this really prevent survivors from leaving Xiang Province?"

At the second floor of a building at the toll station, a man with shifty eyes complained to his superior.

Performing the task of setting up posts was no longer as popular as it was last year.

He still remembered when Hell's reputation hadn't spread yet, they could easily catch a lot of survivors leaving by squatting at some traffic arteries.

But as the name of Hell spread, more and more survivors realized the harshness of survival in Xiang Province and naturally began to plan to escape this place.

So, for a while, the Hell hunting teams setting up checkpoints at various departure points in Xiang Province reaped a rich harvest.

Only for a while.

After being informed that someone was intercepting them, some of the Xiang Province survivors who received the news could only change their ways of leaving.

Like a cat-and-mouse game, the survivors played a game of hide-and-seek with Hell.

This place was the newly set up interception point this year.

"Why bother with so much!? Anyway, we're not just staying here without moving. I've already sent some people out to find meat pigs! After finding them, we can naturally enjoy them!"

"You have to think like this, we're so far away from Hell's headquarters, those big shots can't control us, so we can do whatever we want!? We can completely enjoy the women we find first!"

A man with yellowing eyeballs chuckled, saying something that made his subordinate feel was reasonable.

This phenomenon of yellowing eyeballs was one of the sequelae of long-term consumption of meat.

Going out to perform tasks had this kind of benefit, they could taste the meat pigs they found first.

"Big brother, big brother!! Our informant says that a convoy of many vehicles is heading towards us!! As many as seven large vehicles!!!"

What!?

So many cars!

A big deal!

The yellow-eyed big brother estimated the number of people he had brought out this time, about forty people, with five pistols, eight homemade guns, and other various archers, crossbows, and other weapons.

We can win!

After joining Hell, he hadn't encountered any survivors who dared to resist. Even if the other party had a lot of cars, they shouldn't be too strong.

Perhaps it was some force in Xiang Province planning to leave the local area after the new year to seek survival in other places?

"Brothers! Get ready to work! A big fish is hooked! There are seven big fish coming over! We're going to do a big one! After we kill them, we'll have beauties and food and everything!!"

After a slight hesitation, the person in charge quickly decided to take down the other party!

Without Hell's permission, no one in Xiang Province can leave easily!

——————————

On the road about two kilometers away from this toll station, a group of seven modified vehicles was speeding.

Who else could it be but Li Shenglin and his Lvyuan transportation team!

"Everyone, cheer up! Just now, some team members noticed people peeking at us on both sides of the road!"

Brother Li, one of the leaders, announced in the team channel with a serious face!
