On the sixth day, news came from the base closest to them that another base had been attacked by zombies 50 kilometers away from K City . The refugees who had escaped said that the day had been normal at first . When the zombies suddenly besieged the city at night, they were organized and had completely blocked the base . The survivors had escaped death simply because they’d been out on missions . Strangely, the zombies seemed to pop up suddenly, and there had been no trace of them before the siege .

Several nearby bases fell into a state of panic . They sent telegrams to the K City Base, indicating that they wanted to work together to deal with the zombies . On the same day, Huang Mao, the head of K City Base, came to Xiao Sa and asked him if he had any plans .

Huang Mao, nicknamed Mayor Huang, was originally the owner of a food factory in K City . After the outbreak of the apocalypse, he had developed earth powers . He also had food in his factory, and after the government abandoned K City, he led people in and took over . Since then, he has styled himself as mayor . Despite their characters being mediocre, his sons had their own strengths, having built up the largest mercenary corps in K City Base .

Bai Jing and Xiao Sa were very clear that Huang Mao had come over to feel out the situation . Although his questions were pleasant, in fact, he was trying to probe out the exact time of their departure .

Ever since Wu Guoan brought Li Xun to join him, Xiao Sa had handed over the matter of recruiting and integrating the team to him, with Xu Feng a.s.sisting from the side . The two of them had spent a long time in K City Base and knew who could be used and who couldn’t be . Their planning was comprehensive, but with this move, they would inevitably touch on various people’s interests . As the head of the base, Huang Mao naturally bore the brunt of it .

If they were bringing everyone along with them, all parties would be satisfied, and everyone would obviously be happy, but Xiao Sa and Bai Jing were clearly only bringing useful people . These people were the leading powers and strength of the base, and there was no way they would be allowed to leave smoothly . Now, at a time when everyone was stirred up into a panic, Bai Jing was certain that if he said they were leaving now, not only would they end up facing zombies, but all the forces in K City Base would also burst out in protest .

“We plan to go via Yuxian . ” There was no need to discuss it at all . Xiao Sa directly made the decision .

Huang Mao looked at him suspiciously . He had had so much to say before, but after listening to Xiao Sa’s words, he was left speechless . Yuxian was the place where the zombie wave had broken out the night before yesterday, and it had taken an entire day and night for news to reach K City . Was Xiao Sa a fool? Sending themselves to death in Yuxian? Huang Mao’s expression turned cold, “Mister Xiao, don’t joke around . Young Master Bai’s safety shouldn’t be taken lightly . ”

Xiao Sa said solemnly, “I’m not joking around . I really intend to go to Yuxian . That place has just encountered a zombie siege, and I want to go and take a look at the situation so that we can prepare for the future . We can also look for any survivors while we’re there . It’s good if we can save even one more person . ”

Huang Mao didn’t believe a word of his polished and grand speech, choking on his anger . He merely thought that it was Xiao Sa’s excuse so that they could leave smoothly and stared at him for a while before threatening, “Mister Xiao, please don’t talk big . Yuxian isn’t somewhere for people to visit . If you want to leave, I have no way to stop you, but if you’re willing to bring a few of my children along, I can take care of the rest . ”

To put it politely, Huang Mao’s children were disappointing . They had a mercenary group in their hands and ran rampant through K City Base, but n.o.body could control them . Xiao Sa sighed and didn’t directly refuse . Huang Mao had already spoken so bluntly, and at the end of the day, he was still the leader of K City Base . If they really openly disagreed, it would make things difficult for both sides . He just hesitated for a while, then said rather awkwardly, “Mayor Huang, if you feel a.s.sured leaving them to us, we have no problem with it . However, this trip to Yuxian will be dangerous, and your sons need to be psychologically prepared . ”

Huang Mao’s expression sank, and he clearly looked very unhappy . “Is Mister Xiao really going to Yuxian?”

Xiao Sa nodded, “Of course, as a member of this country, we have an obligation to help the country where possible . It is worth exploring why the zombies would suddenly appear and where they usually hide . Not to mention, there are also so many bases nearby; how can I only care about myself? I believe Little Jing’s thoughts are certainly the same as mine . ”

Bai Jing was laughing madly in his heart, but it wasn’t obvious on his face at all . He merely nodded his head cautiously and looked righteous .

Huang Mao’s expression turned extremely ugly, and a fierce light flashed through his eyes . He stared at Xiao Sa grimly for a moment, then turned his head to look at Bai Jing, “Does Young Master Bai agree? Yuxian is now a city of zombies . If you aren’t careful when you go, you’ll only be able to enter but not depart . If you want to go to the Capital, I can send escorts . There’s no need to chase after danger . ”

Bai Jing raised his eyebrows and acted as though he hadn’t heard the promise in his words . He waved his hand indifferently, “What is there to be afraid of? With so many followers, why should we be worried about a few zombies? How useless . If I were you, I’d organize the people from the base and go over to beat them up . ”

Huang Mao was stunned . At this moment, he really didn’t know what to say . He had told Bai Jing that the zombies were dangerous, but looking at his confident expression and his contemptuous att.i.tude, Huang Mao was certain that he was simply moving his lips and tongue in vain .

Bai Jing became more and more vigorous as he spoke, as though he had discovered a new continent . His eyes were bright and s.h.i.+ning, and the gaze he used to look at Huang Mao was filled with trust . “Mayor Huang, K City Base will be left to you . I think this method is feasible . We can organize everyone together . With more people, we’ll be more powerful . Yuxian is such a small place, and even if it’s become a city of zombies, they’re probably almost dispersed by now . We can sweep our way over from K City, and it shouldn’t be a problem to find the place where the zombies are hiding . After that, we can wipe it all out in one stroke . Then, not only will we have made great achievements, K City Base will be safe . My father will definitely praise us . ”

Huang Mao was gloomy and depressed . He really suspected that Bai Jing was pretending, but when he linked Bai Jing’s words with his recent deeds and att.i.tude in K City Base over the past few days, he couldn’t help but come to the conclusion that Bai Jing was a young man who knew nothing about the world, found everything to be beneath him, and had been spoilt rotten by his family! He could even say such ridiculous remarks, it was as though he really believed that the zombies were as good as dead…

When Bai Jing saw that his expression wasn’t good, he tried even harder to persuade him and looked at him with a disapproving gaze . “Mayor Huang, as the leader of the base, how could you be so indecisive and timid? The residents of K City are waiting for you to rescue them . You should call on the people of this city, and we can fight our way over together . With your help, we’ll have an even better chance of winning…”
