Chapter 24: CH 24

Chapter 24: Out of the City

Shi Qingyang found that after Cheng Ran exchanged nicknames with him, he especially liked to get close to him.

Cheng Ran spent every day making potions in the morning and evening. In the afternoon, he either read books or made medicinal materials. In those times, he would be willing to move things to the exercise room on the third floor so that he could accompany Shi Qingyang to exercise. Shi Qingyang left the room after talking with Cheng Xuze, and happened to see Cheng Ran waiting outside the door.

Not only that, after Shi Qingyang and Gu Changjin went to the radiant energy training room that night, Cheng Ran also waited for him at home, prepared the potion, and stumblingly asked in front of Gu Changjin if he could help apply medicine.

After that, Cheng Ran rubbed his hands for 20 minutes, just like when he first applied the medicine for him, Gu Changjin staring all the while.

Since he stretched out his hand without moving, it was Cheng Ran who took the initiative. Shi Qingyang believed that Gu Changjin would definitely give him a good expression.

Gu Changjin regarded Cheng Ran as a relative and a grandson. He would always guide Shi Qingyang because Cheng Ran liked him, but he certainly wouldn’t want to see him take advantage of Cheng Ran.

As a result, it happened that Cheng Ran took advantage of him… Gu Changjin’s face at that time was really interesting.

Thinking of these two days, Shi Qingyang was in a good mood. When he trained with Gu Changjin in the evening, he was even more motivated.

The level-1 radiant warrior can use combat skills. Of course, there was more than the wind blade technique, but that was the one with the strongest attack power. In the end, it became Shi Qingyang’s favorite. In the next round, Shi Qingyang also used several other attack methods very skillfully.

After the training on that day, Shi Qingyang finally asked Gu Changjin: “Grandpa Gu, school will start in two days. Can’t you take me out of town before school starts?” As long as he is an adult radiation warrior, he can go out of the city and take part in some work in the safety zone near the city. Although he is not yet an adult, he already has the strength of a level-one radiation warrior. He has the right to go out of the city if he wanted to, but with no car and no radiation suit, he can’t leave that easily.

A few days ago, he tried his best to show Gu Changjin his strength so that he could leave the city at this time.

“Do you want to go out of town?” Gu Changjin frowned.

“Grandpa Gu, the meaning of the existence of radiant warriors is to adapt to the environment outside the city. I want to go out of the city,” Shi Qingyang spoke firmly. No matter how much training he had in the city, it was just training. Radiation warriors who had never been out of the city were not radiation warriors at all.

Gu Chang paused. “You are still underage. If you are not careful, the radiation outside the city may cause harm to you…”

“Grandpa Gu, there is another reason why I want to go outside the city. I want to go to the place where my parents died,” Shi Qingyang added, with a complicated expression. He was only 16 when his parents died. Before that, he had not experienced much wind and rain. He paid little attention to other things except reading and exercising.

But then, his parents suddenly died. He had no relatives and lost everything in an instant. And then, the people who had been friends with his parents suddenly started to draw distant from him.

The month after that, he lived extremely miserably, and almost lost his mind.

The parents who loved him most died suddenly, leaving no bones. What he finally received were only two contact terminals and the audio-visual materials saved on them…

His mother opened the contact terminal at the last moment of her life and recorded a sentence: “Xiao Yang, mom loves you, dad loves you!”

After that, there was no sound, and with this sentence came the sound of chewing. His mother covered the camera of the contact terminal and didn’t let him see them at the last moment, nor did she scream for help, so she left him such a message…

He was alone in the room for three days. After three days of starvation, his hatred for the insect beasts never weakened. Just the same, he began not to dare to touch his own memories of his parents.

He had seen the photos of the scene of his parents’ death given by the inspection team, but he did not dare to recall the place.

Now, twenty years have passed. He has grown up. He will no longer be afraid of the place where his parents’ blood is sprinkled. Naturally, he wants to see it.

“Do you know something?” Gu Changjin suddenly asked.

“Grandpa Gu, what did you say?” Shi Qingyang’s face changed. What did Gu Changjin mean by this? Should he know anything?

Shi Qingyang’s doubts didn’t seem to be fake. Gu Changjin frowned and became silent. Shi Qingyang is very mature in front of him these days. He even suspects that the meeting with Shi Qingyang was planned. Of course, he doesn’t dislike this point. Instead, he thinks that Shi Qingyang has a good eye.

Because of this, Shi Qingyang suddenly mentioned his parents’ affairs today. He inevitably thought of the things he had investigated, but now it seemed that this was not the case.

“Grandpa Gu, is there something I don’t know?” Shi Qingyang asked again. He knew that Mr. Gu must have investigated himself. Is there anything he didn’t know?

“I asked someone to check your basic information. Before your parents died, they rented a large piece of land in the security zone. Even if you just sublet it, you could have a lot of money, but now you can’t even eat. Didn’t you have doubts?” Gu Changjin asked.

It should have been four months ago, but in fact, for Shi Qingyang, it has been 20 years, and his memory is not so clear.

Fortunately, the death of his parents was very important to him, so he quickly remembered: “At that time, someone told me that those herbs had been destroyed by insect beasts…”

At that time, he was so confused that he didn’t investigate the matter too much. Later, although he learned about this, he couldn’t find the magnetic card of the land that his parents rented…

He couldn’t get out of the city. He didn’t know the situation outside the city at all. Without the magnetic card, he didn’t even know where the land outside the city was. Naturally, he couldn’t sublet the land. In addition, he subconsciously avoided the place at that time, and then he simply left the land behind.

At that time, he didn’t think too much, but now with Gu Changjin’s reminder, Shi Qingyang thought of many things. At least, even if the magnetic card was on his parents, it was lost outside the city. It was reasonable that someone would have to give it to him as compensation.

“Grandpa Gu, what’s the matter? My parents… The investigation team gave me detailed investigation report at that time. Their death was really an accident.” Shi Qingyang was stiff for a moment. He suddenly remembered that Ping Haiyan wanted to kill him.

Yin Jinru asked Ping Haiyan to kill him. If he was caught, it would be a capital crime. For just a fight between students, did Yin Jinru need to deal with him like this?

“What’s the matter?” Gu Changjin looked at Shi Qingyang’s face and wondered, “Isn’t someone occupying the land your parents rented after your parents died?” According to the information he got, someone just occupied the Shi Qingyang family’s land outside the city after Shi Qingyang’s parents died. Isn’t that the case?

“Grandpa Gu, I want to go outside the city,” Shi Qingyang said very firmly this time.

Seeing Shi Qingyang’s face, Gu Changjin nodded quickly, “Well, I’ll take you out of the city sooner or later.”

When he left the basic training room that night, he again met Yin Tiancheng. These days, Yin Tiancheng came here with them every day and left at the same time. Although he didn’t say anything, he was familiar with them. Shi Qingyang was more and more afraid to underestimate Yin Tiancheng.

Yin Tiancheng smiled and didn’t speak to them as he did at the beginning. Shi Qingyang noticed Yin Tiancheng’s expression and smiled back. After leaving the door, he lowered his head and his face was like water.

Gu Changjin saw Shi Qingyang’s face. He sighed and finally said nothing.

Shi Qingyang was silent all the way. What happened after his parents died 20 years ago was rolling in his mind. He didn’t calm down until he saw Cheng Ran waiting at the door of the villa. After getting off the bus, he smiled at Cheng Ran as usual.

Cheng Ran didn’t contact outsiders since childhood and didn’t know much about the world, but at this time, he was unexpectedly sharp: “Qingyang, are you unhappy?”

Shi Qingyang was stunned. His smile soon dissipated. “Yeah.”

Hearing the affirmative answer, Cheng Ran was obviously at a loss. After a while, he said, “Let me help you rub your hands.”

“OK.” Shi Qingyang nodded. This time Cheng Ran helped him rub his hands for a long time, even more than half an hour.

In the past, when Cheng Ran helped him rub his hands, he felt a little charmed. Now he didn’t feel that sense, but he couldn’t deny that Cheng Ran’s continuous movements finally calmed him down.

At this time, he needed to keep calm.

To go outside the city, it was better to start early. Shi Qingyang immediately asked for leave. The next morning, after breakfast, he followed Gu Changjin out of the door.

Shi Qingyang thought that Mr. Gu would take him to rent a tank, but he didn’t expect that Mr. Gu would take him to Spark Academy first. Then they took the most common tank from Spark Academy, registered at the gate of the city with Spark Academy’s teacher and student cards, and left the city.

It was now the crack of dawn, and the mobile town at the gate of the city, or as it should be called, the mobile fortress, had just started up.

The radiation was too strong. Due to the appearance of an unknown magnetic field over the earth, only land transport was reliable, but the wild was the world of strange, unknowable beasts…

Finally, for large-scale transportation, people built a mobile town. This mobile town took the ancient tank as a prototype, but as if magnified countless times. On the top was a huge platform made of steel and an inverted bowl shaped protective cover. Below was a complex tread made of many tracks. Even if half of them broke, it could still run as usual.

The mobile town of Anhang City arrived at Spark City every evening and left there the next morning.

Following the mobile town, Gu Changjin first passed through the sandy land near the city, and then entered the safety zone of Spark City where patrol teams were stationed to keep watch.

The safety zone was the hunting area, breeding area and planting area selected by most radiation warriors in Spark City. Outside the safety zone was a paradise for the irradiated beasts.
