Wang Dong quickly replied, “There are around over ten thousand people! They are all controlled by an organization called Black Snake. If you want to enter the city, you must bring valuable items. As for these valuable items…” His eyes spoke volumes. At this point, a situation of people eating people had emerged.
Ji Zan furrowed his brow; this information didn’t quite match what Liang Xuanchen and the others had heard. He asked, “Is there any scientific equipment inside Sui City?”
Wang Dong shook his head. “I don’t know about that. The people in the city are divided into different ranks, and we, like us, are the lowest rank, so we don’t know much.”
Ji Zan inquired further, “What do you mean by ranks? And what’s the deal with the Black Snake organization?”
Wang Dong explained, “Sui City is no longer what it used to be. The first people with abilities formed groups and gained more and more influence, naming themselves Black Snake. They’re the highest rank, all with abilities—superior people in Sui City. The middle rank consists of former businessmen who have money and people and are responsible for running errands and logistics for the higher-ups. The lower rank, like us, are responsible for going outside to find supplies, wandering in the periphery, always at risk.”

“Why are there people with abilities among your group?” Fu Shinan immediately seized the key point.
Wang Dong, almost in tears, replied, “He has been with me since before the apocalypse, hiding his ability. We relied on him to find supplies when we went out, but who knew he’d be killed by you all…”
“I’m sorry,” Ji Zan said as he helped Wang Dong to his feet. “Can you lead us to Sui City?”
Wang Dong, though a big guy, was now easily lifted by Ji Zan. He looked helpless and said, “Can I refuse now? But whether we can get in or not depends on you. Don’t rely on me. If I had a way, why would I still be wandering outside?”
“What exactly do they want in terms of supplies?” Fu Shinan asked.
Li Huo immediately answered, “Food, women, people with abilities, and human flesh counts as part of the food supply…”
Wang Dong added, “Actually, meat from animals that we can hunt is acceptable too. Nowadays, those raptors are huge; catching one could feed us for a long time! They even accept that as a valuable item. Yesterday, at the city gate, a newly awakened superhuman hunted a giant eagle, and instantly became one of Black Snake’s elite members!”
Excitement surged within Fu Shinan when she heard about someone hunting a giant eagle. She asked eagerly, “Did the eagle’s talons have any people’s remains on them?”
Wang Dong shook his head in confusion. “I didn’t notice. The eagle was enormous…”
Li Huo, on the other hand, recalled something suddenly. He said, “Now that you mention it, I was quite close at the time. It seemed like the eagle’s talons did have a woman.”
Fu Shinan urgently inquired, “Did you see any young men with her?”
Li Huo shook his head. “I didn’t. That eagle was really huge, and there were many people around. Seeing even a little was lucky. The elite members like them look down on us lower-ranking folks.”
Fu Shinan looked at Ji Zan and said, “The woman they’re talking about is likely
Man Yu. We have to get into Sui City no matter what!”
Naturally, Ji Zan didn’t oppose this idea. They had already planned to head to
Sui City. He instructed, “Sun Han, pack up. We’re leaving.”

When Professor Zhao learned that these people had come from Sui City, his face turned red with excitement. “This is great! We’re on the right path. Let’s hurry; we might reach Sui City before nightfall. There’s hope for our research!” Finding a cure for the virus had become his obsession, and he couldn’t give up after sacrificing so many lives.
On the journey, Fu Shinan continued to ask Wang Dong and the others about
Sui City. However, the more they asked, the more it seemed that Sui City wasn’t as they had been told by Professor Zhao and the others. Perhaps the signals they had received initially were part of a conspiracy to lure people in.
Only Professor Zhao and Liang Xuanchen remained hopeful, their faces filled with anticipation and determination.
Meanwhile, Wang Dong looked at Ji Zan with flattery. “Big brother, with your skills, even without superhuman abilities, you could become an elite member of Black Snake. But you’ll need a recommendation, and recommendations require money.”
Curious, Fu Shinan asked, “Can you still use currency in Sui City?”
Wang Dong waved his hand dismissively, spitting as he talked. “Of course not the old currency! It’s crystal stones. The value of crystal stones depends on their quality and determines how much you can exchange for.”
“What are crystal stones? They’re not the kind that were said to be inside zombie skulls, are they? Wait a minute, when we were killing zombies, we didn’t find any…” Sun Han expressed his surprise..
