The convoy drove on for the entire day. Forget zombies, they didn't even see the shadow of a beast. The entire world was empty, as though they were the only ones left!

Since they had decided to go to Yuxian, Bai Jing began to explain in detail the characteristics and weaknesses of level five zombies along the way. Every time w.a.n.g Fan and Yang Lin wondered how he knew so much, Bai Jing would say, “State secrets,” which let him easily bypa.s.s the question. Even if they didn't believe it, there was nothing they could do about it. However, they felt happier, and for the first time, they felt that perhaps it had been a good decision to leave K City Base at this time.

In the evening, the convoy stopped. There were many empty houses by the road. Everyone was busy as they tidied up two small two-storey buildings. Although it felt crowded with over one hundred people squeezed in, it was for safety purposes so no one raised any objections. As for the four coaches that Huang Mao had sent, they chose to live in a place less than ten meters away and settled down. Almost immediately after that, people came over to their side to visit.

When the visitor came through the door, he was shocked by the aroma of the food in the room.  His calculating gaze made it clear that he didn't have any good intentions. Was he used to being so arrogant? As Li Ran had said before, he even disdained to make any attempt at pretence.

“Where is Young Master Bai planning to go?” Huang Xiong looked slovenly as his frivolous gaze wandered over Bai Jing and Xiao Sa.

Xiao Sa looked at him coldly. No emotion could be seen from his expressionless face, but Bai Jing knew that Xiao Sa was angry. For a moment, he mourned silently for Huang Xiong in his heart then curled up his lips and laughingly said, ”Don't you know? Didn't Mayor Huang tell you? We're going to Yuxian!”

“Don't talk big, Young Master Bai!” Huang Xiong sneered. His gaze turned dark. The base had been boiling with excitement before they left; how could he not know? But he didn't believe it. He didn't believe that Young Master Bai would care so little for his own life!

Bai Jing regretfully shook his head and laughed lightly, his eyes filled with contempt, as though the person in front of him was merely an ant and not a person. ”This road is the one that must be taken on the way to Yuxian. You already know the answer in your heart, don't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't come over to ask, right?”

Huang Xiong's expression was livid. His gaze was grim, as though anxious to swallow Bai Jing alive and tear him apart, ”Young Master Bai had better consider everything carefully.”

“I said it long ago. What is there to think about? Didn't Mayor Huang clearly tell you about it?”

Huang Xiong sneered and knew that it was useless to talk any further. He brought his men with him and aggressively turned away to leave.

“Why do you need to provoke him?” w.a.n.g Fan looked over anxiously. They had grown much more familiar with each other during the journey.

Bai Jing was indifferent, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. Xiao Sa stroked his soft hair and answered for him, “This kind of trouble should be dealt with as soon as possible.”

In this instant, the people in the room both seemed to understand something, yet also seemed to understand absolutely nothing. Either way, their hearts that had been caught in their throats finally dropped down again. After all, no one wanted to face difficulties while there was a group of evil dogs around.

“Be on alert tonight. We'll be leaving at two o'clock in the morning.” Xiao Sa ordered calmly, causing everyone to become dumbfounded. They hadn't recovered enough to ask why when Xiao Sa continued, telling Bai Jing, ”Distribute weapons to them.”

Bai Jing nodded. He had originally intended to test these people for a while first, but now the situation was different. If there really were a level five zombies, they may not even have a chance to survive.

Bai Jing stood up, cleared his throat, and looked at the group of people in front of him seriously, “This time, we're going to Yuxian. You all must be aware of the danger that lies there as Yuxian is now a dead city. I am glad that all of you have chosen to leave with us despite knowing the danger. I don't dare promise anything else, but I will try my best to ensure everyone's safety. There's just one point you need to know. Within our team, I hope that there won't be any betrayal, nor will I allow it. Everyone has already suffered through trials of life and death so you all must understand that no place is truly safe during the end of the world. If you want to live well, then you can only choose to move forward.”

Wu Guoan raised his eyebrows. He was quite surprised - he hadn't expected that Young Master Jing would be able to make such a graceful and authoritative speech. He really knew how to move people's hearts. Looking at the chilly Xiao Sa who stood next to him, Wu Guoan suddenly felt that this couple really matched each other perfectly.

”Relax, Young Master Jing. Since we've chosen to join the team, we'll prioritize the interests of the team. Everyone is struggling to live on the edge of life and death, and there isn't anyone who doesn't hate betrayal.”

“Since Young Master Jing trusts us, we'll naturally go all out.”

“Nowadays, it's dangerous everywhere. Don't worry, each and every one of us knows the importance of team unity.”

“Ah! This time, leaving with Young Master Jing, it was an all or nothing decision. I just hope you'll bring us along a road where we can come out alive on the other side.”

After hearing everyone's comments, Bai Jing smiled in satisfaction, his face unconsciously softening as he said, ”I can't guarantee that everyone will make it through, but I'll try my best to keep casualties low. Perhaps we aren't familiar with each other yet, but I can a.s.sure you that you have made the right choice, and I'll definitely lead everyone to live on. Not only will we live well, but we'll also be able to live rampantly!”
