Shen Yu's thoughts remained in the past. In her view, ending this chaotic world could only rely on headquarters. After all, as the full name suggested, "China Special Times Coordination and Decision-Making Headquarters" was naturally the organization responsible for handling various crises in the apocalypse. The military, food, and resources were almost all uniformly allocated, and the person who could ultimately end the chaotic world would undoubtedly be headquarters.
Therefore, Shen Yu stayed in Rongcheng. She believed that by following headquarters' decisions, a better tomorrow could be achieved. Not to mention, the number of troops that headquarters could command was not something ordinary organizations could match. Ending the chaotic world required the guarantee of the military.
However, Shen Yu eventually realized that the apocalypse seemed unending. After the zombies were dealt with, mutated beasts subsequently appeared. Currently, the mutated beasts had not been resolved, and mutated birds had also become a threat to everyone. Instead, Yuzhou, occupied by Shen Feng, enjoyed a decent life, which was a particularly fortunate situation.
After personally witnessing the current state of Yuzhou, Shen Yu could only admit that Shen Feng was no longer the brother she had once beaten until he cried. With him in charge, Yuzhou had achieved a bountiful harvest, and safety was not a concern. People's lives were also relatively prosperous, no less than Rongcheng, and smiles could often be seen on the streets.
At this point, Shen Yu could only admit that everything she had said to her brother back then was wrong. Her brother had not become a mountain bandit; instead, he had established his own foundation and gained fame throughout the land.
However, Shen Yu still refused her brother's invitation. She said seriously, "Shen Feng, I will still be valued in Rongcheng. Moreover, I am now an ability user. Coming to Yuzhou will not change anything. Besides, Rongcheng is also very safe, so you don't need to invite me."
Shen Feng was helpless. He knew his sister's thoughts and seemed to have her own plans. She wanted to carve out a future in Rongcheng through her own abilities. Moreover, Rongcheng treated her quite well. Giving up the achievements in Rongcheng to come to Yuzhou would undoubtedly be a difficult choice and would be considered taking a shortcut.
"Let's eat, let's eat. Let's not talk about anything else. It's rare for us to be together," Shen Feng said.
Shen Feng also knew that if his sister did not leave Rongcheng, his parents would not leave Rongcheng either. They had said before that he was a son, and his parents were more at ease with him striving outside. However, his sister Shen Yu, regardless of anything, was a daughter, and his parents were worried and insisted on staying in Rongcheng to look after her.
Shen Feng did not force his sister to stay in Yuzhou. He was also finding a fallback for himself. If he were truly cornered, he would take his wife and children back to his hometown. At least his sister could look after him in Rongcheng.
However, at this moment, Zhang Xixi couldn't help but ask Shen Feng, "Brother Shen, if you are going to Siberia, which route will you take?"
Shen Feng heard the question, thought for a moment, and replied, "I'll probably go to Rongcheng first to escort my sister back, then from Hanzhong to the Loess Plateau, follow the highway all the way north, and finally drive to Tyumen City in Siberia. If luck is good, it might take about twenty days."
Zhang Xixi quickly said, "Then if you pass by the Mongolian Plateau, could you visit my brother? I'll write a letter, and you can deliver it to him."
Shen Feng nodded and said, "No problem, this is very simple."
Shen Feng readily agreed to Zhang Xixi's request. He was going to Tyumen just for show anyway, to give his sister a proper answer. Delivering a letter was also something he could do since it was on the way.
Zhang Jue's mission was quite special: to mine coal on the Mongolian Plateau. China had mined a lot of coal, and the production capacity in areas like Datong had reached its limit. Instead, the coal production capacity on the northern Mongolian Plateau had great potential, with many coal mines buried underground. The task of protecting the coal mines on the Mongolian Plateau was entrusted to Zhang Jue.
Shen Feng couldn't understand what the people at headquarters were thinking. Why would they send someone like Zhang Jue, whose combat strength was not very strong, to guard coal mines? Not to mention whether he could defend them, it was still a question. If he encountered danger, he would just fly away, what use would that be? It would be more appropriate to send an ability user like Zhang Zi to guard the coal mines.
After finishing the meal, Shen Feng began to pack his things and prepare to go to Siberia. Shen Yu felt that Shen Feng was only taking three people with him, which was too few. Such a small number seemed unlikely to achieve anything, but she dared not ask for more.
Shen Yu also knew that she was asking for a favor. Although the person she was asking for help was her own brother, even close relatives had to settle accounts clearly. She was asking Shen Feng to do something life-threatening. Over twenty ability users had gone missing in Siberia. If Shen Feng also went missing, it would be even more unfair to his family.
In this regard, Shen Yu could only pray to heaven to bless Shen Feng and allow him to successfully bring Xiao Sheng back.
As for Chang Jianyi, she packed a lot of things for Shen Feng. This trip to Siberia would mainly be by car, and it was a one-way trip. This was because Yuzhou had no gasoline in stock and could not get any external replenishment. The gasoline that Yuzhou had recently obtained was transported from the Wuling Mountains by the Qinghong Gang.
The Qinghong Gang had a vast influence in Southeast Asia, and they had offshore drilling in places like Indonesia. Wang Ao Ye had won over countless strong individuals through smuggling, and even had bases in many parts of Southeast Asia.
However, due to the existence of the Three Gorges Dam, the Yangtze River shipping route was directly blocked. To obtain gasoline, they could only get it through land routes. Moreover, traveling by land routes had a high probability of encountering mutated beasts and bandits, resulting in very little gasoline for Yuzhou. Most people could only use electric vehicles, at least they didn't have to walk themselves, and bicycles were also very popular at this time.
Chang Jianyi directly put the portable paraglider into Shen Feng's car and patiently instructed, "If the situation is bad, run quickly. Don't be a fool and wait for death, understand?"
Chang Jianyi did not explicitly say it, but the meaning was clear: do not take rescuing people as a very important task. Preserving oneself was the most important thing. If it was particularly dangerous, then just leave. After all, he did not have any deep feelings for the Ability Administration Bureau; they were just acquaintances.
Shen Feng nodded and replied, "Of course I know that. If there is danger, I will fly back with my subordinates."
Shen Feng learned from his previous experience at sea. Too small a paraglider could only carry himself. To continue flying, a larger paraglider was necessary. This time, the paraglider packed into the car was specially made, with parts disassembled and ready for assembly. Although it was just a frame, it could bear the weight of five people.
Shen Feng's greatest advantage was his speed, especially his ability to fly in the sky. This ability allowed him to avoid dying in the wild. He had returned to China from Japan using a glider. It could be said that people who could fly were generally no match for Shen Feng, while those who could defeat Shen Feng could not fly, such as Gong Changfa.
Shen Feng also had to admit one thing: in terms of destructive power, Gong Changfa's ability was stronger than his. Back when they were at sea, Gong Changfa had almost killed a sea beast. Unfortunately, his biological knowledge was insufficient, and he did not know that squid were cephalopods, so he attacked the squid's torso. As a result, the injured squid was killed by Shen Feng's sonic speed ram.
However, to deal with Gong Changfa, Shen Feng needed to use long-range containment methods. He absolutely could not make direct contact with Gong Changfa, otherwise, the moment they touched, his internal organs and brain would be attacked.
Chu Zhaoyan also prepared clothes for Shen Feng, especially down jackets. Currently, Yuzhou felt hot during the day, and it was not particularly cold at night. A quilt could suffice. However, in Siberia, there was permafrost all year round. It was often heard that mammoth fossils could be dug up in Siberia, which was because mammoth corpses were preserved in the permafrost.
Chu Zhaoyan also said seriously, "It's very cold there. I heard there are Siberian tigers and brown bears in Siberia. These two animals are not to be trifled with, especially mutated individuals. If you are not careful, you will be killed. Go there and take a look, then come back. Don't go missing there."
Chu Zhaoyan was also very worried about Shen Feng's safety. Over twenty people from the Ability Administration Bureau were in Siberia, including many strong individuals, but they had lost contact. There were not many survivors in Tyumen City. This situation was too abnormal. It was obvious that these people must have encountered a major crisis.
Shen Feng quickly agreed and said that he would be careful.
While Shen Feng was packing his things, Du Xinshi also came over with a package. The package contained a lot of snacks, the most common of which was dried meat. It had been dried and marinated, and could be eaten directly by tearing it apart.
"City Lord, this is for you. Eat it slowly on the road. It's just for satisfying your cravings," Du Xinshi said quickly.
Upon seeing this, Chang Jianyi and Chu Zhaoyan frowned, and their faces showed displeasure. Obviously, they were very unhappy about other women giving things to their husband, but this was also a kind gesture, so they couldn't say anything.
Shen Feng, feeling guilty, accepted the package and immediately sent Du Xinshi away to avoid anything suspicious being noticed.
The next day, Shen Feng was ready to set off. The first thing was to send his sister back to Rongcheng. He knew that his sister was already an ability user, but her combat ability was not good. Her ability was body enhancement, and the part that was enhanced was her fingernails. Her fingers could easily tear human skin and flesh, but if she encountered danger in the wild, it would be truly dire.
Shen Feng didn't know how his sister found her way into the Daba Mountains. In such a dangerous world, his sister, a weak woman, walking outside, was fortunate not to have had an accident. Otherwise, if she encountered danger, it would be too late to escape.
Shen Feng drove for a day and sent his sister Shen Yu to the outside of the city wall of Rongcheng. Rongcheng had now also built city walls, which was a necessary measure to resist mutated beasts. Ordinary mutated beasts could only be blocked outside the city, and with the existence of city walls, people living inside the city would feel more at ease.
Collective organizations always provided the most reassurance. Humans were always social animals.
Shen Feng sent his sister to Rongcheng. Seeing that it was getting late, he had intended to find an opportunity to meet his parents. However, it seemed that Rongcheng was about to close its city gates, so it was better to forgo this.
But at this moment, General Xie of Rongcheng, having somehow received the news, directly led people out of the city and said with a smile, "Shen Feng, since you're already outside the city, why aren't you coming in? This is your hometown. You're not Da Yu, who passed by his home without entering three times. That's not good."
Shen Feng looked at his sister and asked, "Did you tell him about my whereabouts?"
Shen Feng used to have a good impression of Xie Bateng because he had received guidance from General Xie when he was in Rongcheng. But later, with the experience of being a semi-immortal, Shen Feng realized that despite his chubby and harmless appearance, this guy was actually a smiling tiger with a belly full of bad intentions. Therefore, Shen Feng no longer had a good impression of Xie Bateng.
Shen Yu heard her brother's question and said helplessly, "I didn't tell him your whereabouts. I don't know how he found out about this."
