On this day, a group of people arrived at the Ling City base.
They drove long green pickup trucks and formed a convoy, winding their way to the base. They wore uniform field uniforms, and each person carried a weapon, clearly a military force!
The arrival of this military force gave the high-level players of the Ling City base a shot in the arm1means to provide a boost or increase in energy, morale, or motivation.
With the strength of this military force, are they still afraid of the blood corpse?!
If the blood corpse dared to come again, they would be shot to pieces!
A convoy also arrived at the civilized base, although it was not green but it was also a large truck that rumbled into the inner city.
The people on the truck jumped down, each one very excited.
“City Lord, we have brought everything back. On the way, we encountered a zombie squad and fought them. We didn’t lose any goods and brought them all back.”
Wen Qingling’s people traced the source of the weapons on the side of the blood corpse and followed them to Lan City, hundreds of kilometers away. There was an arsenal there, and the blood corpse’s weapons and ammunition were transported from there. Wen Qingling took advantage of the opportunity and made gains.
Unconscious zombie puppets were not as useful as conscious zombies. For zombie puppets to try to steal from civilized zombies was clearly an egg striking a rock. The results speak for themselves.
Xiao Hen’s face changed when he saw the things on the large truck.
Too much.
This was definitely emptying a large-scale arsenal!
The people in the base all came to help and carried the large boxes to their designated positions. Wen Qingling specially used the wood-type ability to open up space underground and put these weapons and ammunition inside to hide them.
Xiao Hen was standing aside, watching the people in the base carry the boxes, when suddenly two foul-smelling, rotten zombies pounced in front of him. Xiao Hen was just about to draw his sword when the handle of the sword was held down by a hand.
The two zombies that pounced over did not touch Xiao Hen. They were tied with wide ropes around their waists and were being dragged back by a person.
“City Lord, I found my parents in Lan City!”
That civilized zombie was the first person to go and investigate the whereabouts of the weapons and ammunition. After arriving in Lan City and finding the location of the arsenal, he came back to inform Wen Qingling and then followed the others back to Lan City to look for his parents. He actually found them.
Two rusty and decayed zombies kept rushing toward Xiao Hen while growling and clawing, trying to bite him.
Wen Qingling glanced at them and said, “Quiet down, wait until we finish here.”
The two decayed zombies really quieted down and obediently got dragged to the side to wait.
Xiao Hen was shocked. Why did these people bring their zombie parents over? A terrible thought quickly formed in his mind. He could not believe it!
Xiao Hen grabbed Wen Qingling and pulled him aside to ask, “What do you want to do with those two zombies?”
Wen Qingling looked up at him and said, “Do you want to know?”
Xiao Hen suddenly didn’t want to know. He was afraid that knowing the truth would be even more painful than not knowing.
But his eyes kept staring at Wen Qingling and his body was honest–he wanted to know.
Wen Qingling said, “You are an outsider and our base’s secrets cannot be revealed to outsiders.”
Wen Qingling was about to leave but Xiao Hen grabbed him again. Xiao Hen was very stubborn and kept staring at him, wanting to know the answer.
Wen Qingling leaned closer to him and said, “Do you want me to bite you?”Xiao Hen: “…”
Wen Qingling pointed his pale finger at his face and said, “Only when you become one of us can you know our secrets.”
Xiao Hen clenched his lips and asked, “What will happen if you bite me?”
Wen Qingling blinked, “Who knows.”
Xiao Hen: “…”
Wen Qingling stepped back and said, “I’m not kidding. We can’t ignore our zombie parents when we encounter them outside. After bringing them back, we can put them in the outer city to feed them, which is better than starving or being killed by survivors every day.”
Of course, Xiao Hen didn’t believe Wen Qingling’s nonsense. If it was before, he might have been fooled, but not now. The more he saw, the more strange and abnormal things he noticed.
Those two zombies only roared at him and wanted to bite only him. Does this mean that he’s the only living person in the entire base?!
This is too exciting, he needs to calm down and take it easy, otherwise, his heart will bear too much burden and go on strike.
Ling City Base.
Yin Cheng was respectfully invited to take the seat of honor by Fang Shenlong. He didn’t hesitate and sat down generously. With a sweep of his gaze, he only saw Ji Rong, He Lin, and Shi Chong, but no trace of Xiao Hen.
Yin Cheng sneered, “What’s wrong with Colonel Xiao? He’s not willing to come out and meet me even when I’m here in the base?”
Ji Rong looked at He Lin and Shi Chong, both shook their heads.
They only knew that someone would be sent from above to protect Old Meng and assist in setting up the research institute. Who would have thought that the person sent would be their boss’s mortal enemy! What’s the meaning behind it all? Are they afraid that these two can’t fight?!
The higher the rank, the greater the power. Even if Ji Rong and the others were very dissatisfied, they could only hold it in at the moment.
Ji Rong said, “Our boss has other things to do and no time to greet you. Since Colonel Yin is here, we’ll leave Old Meng to you. We have other matters to attend to, so we’ll take our leave.”
They had to hurry and tell the boss that this grandson, Yin Cheng, had come to Ling City. Whenever he’s around, trouble is guaranteed!
“What’s the rush?” Yin Chengrui drank his tea calmly, “Protecting Old Meng is not just my mission, it’s yours as well. Colonel Xiao has something important to do, leaving Old Meng alone in the base, but you don’t even know where he went?”
Ji Rong didn’t like hearing this, as if they were all useless. Aren’t the three of them enough to protect Old Meng?
He Lin held Ji Rong back and solemnly said, “It’s indeed something very important. Our boss is busy stopping the zombie tide in Ling City. If it weren’t for the boss, Colonel Yin would only see the ruins of the base when you arrive here.”
Yin Cheng’s face darkened, staring at He Lin. Was he complaining that he came too slowly?
He Lin nodded slightly, “Colonel Yin is busy, let’s go see if the boss has finished his work.”
The three of them turned around and left, not wanting to give Yin Cheng any face.
Yin Cheng stood up and said, “Since Colonel Xiao is busy with something so important, why don’t we all go and take a look together?”
Ji Rong: “…”
He Lin: “…”
Shi Chong: “…”
Look your mother!
Yin Cheng was always causing trouble, either stealing credit or messing up missions. Once, their team almost got wiped out because of him. His brainwaves were never in the normal range, he was always doing crazy and risky things.
Ling City was like a hornet’s nest, whoever poked it would die. But they had no choice but to send Xiao Hen and his team to find the person carrying the antibodies, which was crucial information. They found the person and confirmed the presence of the antibodies, which was very important.Equally important was the news that the zombies in South City might regain consciousness, which prompted Meng Lao to come over and Yin Cheng followed suit to take credit. This was something that his faction loved to do. They couldn’t let Xiao Hen and his faction monopolize such a big contribution.
Ji Rong smiled, “We remember our boss’s instructions and cannot leave Meng Lao half a step behind. So, we plan to go protect Meng Lao. Do you want to come with us?”
Yin Cheng looked at him with a complex expression.
At this tense moment, someone suddenly shouted, “Xiao Hen is in South City!” Ji Rong looked over and saw it was one of Meng Hua’s subordinates.
They had already received the news that Wen Qingling had killed Meng Hua. As the leader of the Ling City base, Meng Hua had many subordinates who were his trusted confidants. They would definitely want to avenge Meng Hua.
“I heard there’s a base in the zombie nest in South City where survivors live.”
“Dr. Wen who can cure infected people lives in that base.”
“I heard that the base never accepts outsiders and is very mysterious.”
Under the guidance of Meng Hua’s subordinates, they revealed all the important information. Yin Cheng’s expression changed and he called for Fang Shenlong to explain in detail.
So Fang Shenlong explained the situation in South City and Wen Qingling. He also mentioned the feud between the Ling City base and the Blood Corpse, emphasizing that Wen Qingling had dual abilities in wood and psychic and that Wen Qingling was attracted to Xiao Hen’s face. With just one word from Xiao Hen, he could help them fend off the zombie tide.
Ji Rong and Shi Chong’s expressions were very strange. They received the news that Wen Qingling had made a deal with Xiao Hen. Wen Qingling would help fend off the zombie tide, and Xiao Hen would go to the civilized base to be an instructor for a few days. How come the taste of the story completely changed in Fang Shenlong’s mouth?
Ji Rong and Shi Chong looked at He Lin at the same time. Only He Lin had followed Xiao Hen at that time. He must have known it clearly.
He Lin: “…”
He Lin: “Nonsense! I was there at the time and there was no such thing as what you said!”
Fang Shenlong was also annoyed that Wen Qingling was not being reasonable, “It’s not just me who heard it. Everyone who went later heard it too. He said we were too ugly, affecting his mood, and refused to cooperate with us even if we offered crystal nuclei.”
“Yes, that’s right. I heard it too!”
“If you say there’s no affair between them, I won’t believe it even if you kill me!”
“Damn it, two men getting together is disgusting!”
Ji Rong has a bad temper. He picked up the chair beside him and smashed it, saying, “Disgusting! If you have a grudge, go face Wen Qingling directly! Are you guys daring enough?! You are a bunch of cowards! Don’t blame Wen Qingling for refusing to help. Do you want him to help you get rid of future troubles? Will he be responsible for the safety of Ling City Base from now on?!”
Someone objected, “He has the ability. We asked for his help and we even offered him the crystals!”
Ji Rong laughed out loud in anger, “I give you full marks for your self-righteous tone. Even if I were Wen Qingling, I wouldn’t help you.”
Yin Cheng and his men watched the show from the side.
When it was almost over, Yin Cheng finally spoke with a smile, “Colonel Xiao is really fortunate. I’m curious about Wen Qingling. If he can take down Colonel Xiao, he must be a formidable character.”
A well-dressed gentleman stepped forward, “Colonel Yin, the key issue is not Colonel Xiao’s good luck, but the ability to cure infected individuals. If I heard correctly, it was said that Wen Qingling can cure infected individuals?”
Fang Shenlong said, “To be precise, it’s not Wen Qingling, but a little kid he brought with him… No, that’s not a kid, it may be some kind of small monster, but it can really cure infected individuals.”
Miao Bo stepped forward, “I can testify. A few days ago, I went to East City to kill Blood Corpse. My neck was bitten by a zombie but it was cured by the little monster that Dr. Wen brought.”
The gentleman looked at Yin Cheng, “Colonel Yin.”
Yin Cheng’s smile didn’t fade, “I heard you. Whether it’s the little monster that can cure infected individuals or the base built in the zombie nest, we have to see them.”
“Then I’ll go invite Meng Lao and three other assistants,” the gentleman turned to leave, but Ji Rong spoke up, “Don’t bother. We can’t even get into South City, it’s useless to go.”
Of course, Yin Cheng wouldn’t listen to Ji Rong’s words. They had to go if they had to, and they had to invite Meng Lao if they had to.
The group drove a green pickup truck and headed towards South City in a mighty manner as if they were going to flatten the entire city.1means to provide a boost or increase in energy, morale, or motivation
