Reborn in the Post-Apocalyptic World: Building Infrastructure

After a few minutes, the car arrived at the entrance of the underground passage, but Sheng Hongye was nowhere in sight.

Su Ling frowned and immediately reinforced the car.

Without any cover, the reinforced car became a mobile fortress, significantly increasing their safety.

Unfortunately, without Sheng Hongye by her side, there were more failures during the reinforcement process. Nevertheless, she didn't rush and took her time to reinforce the car.

After spending over ten minutes, she finally managed to reinforce the car's defense, endurance, and speed to one hundred twenty percent. Further attempts carried a higher risk of failure, risking her previous progress. So, Su Ling decided to stop there.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, but still, there was no sign of Sheng Hongye. Gu Kai Xuan couldn't help but feel anxious.

He stretched his neck, trying to see outside with all his might.

"Auntie, why isn't Uncle back yet? Will he become a zombie like grandma?" he asked worriedly.

"No, he won't," Su Ling immediately interrupted him. Sheng Hongye was so capable; how could he turn into a zombie?

"Uncle is very strong; he can take care of himself," she reassured.

But despite her words, Su Ling couldn't help but have some wild thoughts; Sheng Hongye wasn't the type to be slow in handling things. He had been gone for so long, he must have encountered something else.

Could it be a zombie tide?

Actually, Sheng Hongye had long left the zombies behind.

He had quickly dealt with the scattered ones, and just as he was about to return to the underground passage to meet Su Ling, a ragged figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

The man's face was covered in dirt and beard, making it hard to see his true appearance.

However, his eyes had a strange and penetrating quality, with deep and eerie radiance.

Sheng Hongye recognized him as the person who had been shouting about Panlong Island. He narrowed his eyes.

In a deep voice, he asked, "Who are you, and what's your purpose in leading us to Panlong Island?"

The man curled his lips and hoarsely said, "You know better than me. It's a suitable place to survive, whether you go or not is up to you."

Sheng Hongye's eyes grew colder, and he took a step forward.

"Are you also from the island?"

The man didn't answer. He tilted his head and looked at Sheng Hongye. Suddenly, he threw a lightning-fast punch.

Having been observing the man's movements, Sheng Hongye knew he was about to strike when he saw his shoulder move.

He dodged the punch and immediately retaliated with a swift kick aimed at the man's chin.

The man leaned to the side, avoiding the attack, and then threw another punch, aiming for Sheng Hongye's shoulder blade.

The two clashed, and it quickly became apparent to Sheng Hongye that this was not an easy opponent. Like himself, this man specialized in attacking the weakest points of the human body, and every move he made was deadly.

"You are indeed from Panlong Island," Sheng Hongye said as he launched another kick, sending himself three meters backward.

The man also stopped in his tracks, still wearing a strange expression as he gazed at Sheng Hongye, as if assessing something.

Sheng Hongye also observed the man, the temperature in his eyes had dropped to freezing point..

Even if this man had some martial arts skills, he was confident he could defeat him within a hundred moves.

"Who are you?" he asked again.

The man suddenly went crazy, shouting before fleeing into the distance.

Sheng Hongye's brow furrowed. Could this man be...

Recalling a message from someone, a hint of surprise flickered in Sheng Hongye's eyes.

After a moment, he regained his composure and walked towards the underground passage.

Over two hours had passed, and Su Ling should have arrived by now.

Indeed, Su Ling had arrived a while ago, but the situation was not promising.

Just as she finished reinforcing the car, those men emerged from the underground passage.

Seeing Su Ling in the car, they grew somewhat nervous.

Later, they noticed the car only had Su Ling, two kids, and a dog, so they relaxed.

"Where is the gentleman?" asked a man with gold teeth.

Su Ling said coldly, "He went after those things and will be back soon."

The man acknowledged and stepped back to confer with the others.

Before long, they surrounded her again.

A man, wearing multiple luxury watches, grinned and said, "Since he hasn't returned, why don't this yound lady get out of the car and wait with the kids?"

Su Ling picked up the shotgun by her side and slowly wiped it. "No need."

After a while, the men approached cautiously again. Because the shotgun belonged to Shen Laohe, they knew there were not many bullets left.

They were more interested in tasting a woman than facing a gun.

Su Ling sensed the men's ill intentions, and her tone turned colder as she raised the gun, warning, "If you don't want to die, get lost. My gun won't tolerate your nonsense."

The man with the watch smirked, "Quit the bluff, young lady. If you had bullets, you'd have shot already."

Gold Tooth reached for the car door, saying, "It's been so long, and he hasn't returned. You better come out and wait. We can have a drink and chat."

Gu Kai Xuan immediately retorted in a childish voice, "Talk about your great grandma. If you dare touch Auntie Su, my uncle will twist your head off."

Gold Tooth became furious. He could endure humiliation under Shen Laohe, but now, a brat dared to insult him. He couldn't take it and smashed the windshield with a brick.

"Damn, let's see if you dare to come out today."

The others also saw the beautiful woman and couldn't resist the temptation. Xiaoyue's mother had allowed them to take advantage of her, and she had died quickly. Now, seeing Su Ling, such a stunning beauty, they couldn't resist wanting to drag her out and have their way with her.

Watching these men act recklessly, Su Ling's eyes flared with anger. She suddenly slammed the gas pedal, sending Gold Tooth flying with a loud bang.

She didn't want to harm her own kind, but these men were no longer worthy of being called that.

She pressed the gas pedal again, steering towards the other men. However, to her surprise, the car wouldn't move.

The others burst into laughter. Su Ling immediately looked at them and noticed a man with his hands raised, seemingly controlling the vehicle.

Her grip on the steering wheel tightened. Could this person be a magnetic ability user just like in the movies?

Gold Tooth scrambled up in frustration.

"Damn, you really hit hard, girl. I'll make you pay later. What are you all waiting for? Hurry up and smash the car."

A group of men immediately picked up stones and began smashing the car. Su Ling heard the defense warning signal, and sweat formed on her forehead.

She tried to use her mental connection to control Gold Tooth but was told there was an obstruction, leaving her to curse.

Gu Kai Xuan was also nervous, clutching the chair and shouting, "Where did Uncle go? Why hasn't he come back?"

As he finished speaking, Su Ling noticed that Gu Kai Xuan had disappeared into thin air.
