Jian Shengtong looked at the old man confusedly. He couldn’t seem to turn his eyes away from the old man’s gray hair and dark sunglasses.
Xia Yushen glanced at the five suspiciously, then couldn’t help but raise his telescope with curiosity. He was standing on the ground, so he didn’t have a good vision. Still, he saw something different from before.
To confirm it, he turned and hopped onto the car beside him and looked around through the telescope again.
“Jian! The zombie crowd is gone!” Xia Yushen said with surprise.
“What?” Jian Shengtong even doubted his own ears. Just now, both of them saw a huge group of zombies jamming the road. Not only the road, the surrounding streets and alleys were all full of zombies.
He now thought that he had misheard what Xia Yushen said.
“Come on! Come up here and look! They’re really gone!” Xia Yushen looked around two more times to confirm that the zombies were really gone. After that, he waved at Jian Shengtong excitedly.
Jian Shengtong hopped onto the car roof with confusion, took over Xia Yushen’s telescope, and looked ahead through it. As the latter had said, the zombie crowd was really gone.
“What do you think now? Are you still taking that detour?” said Yun Meng.
Jian Shengtong dropped the telescope and looked at her silently.
“How many people do you have?” asked the old man.
“About four-thousand and three-hundred. We have women, old people, and children… A big half of our people are injured, and all of them are weak now,” Xia Yushen leaped off the car roof and made a few steps forward as he said.
The old man glanced at Yun Meng, and the latter said, “Get into your cars. We’ll bring you to the base.”
Jian Shengtong leaped off the car roof. Both he and Xia Yushen hesitated briefly.
“Let’s go. We don’t know what we might run into if we travel for another day. I think we may as well try to believe them,” said Xia Yushen. His guts told him that those people were trustworthy. Besides, the zombie crowd had truly disappeared.
Jian Shengtong was still hesitating. It was too dangerous after all. Thousands of people were relying on the two of them now. He worried that the five might put all those people into a bad situation.
“What are you worrying about? We are weak now, but we can still fight. If we can’t even get through this area, the city center would be impossible for us,” Xia Yushen poked him gently with an elbow.
“Alright, I’ll believe you, for now,” Jian Shengtong looked at Yun Meng, then waved at Chen Xian and Li Zhen, signaling for them to return to the troop.
“Four, go and guard the last vehicle,” said Yun Meng.
The boy swiftly leaped onto a tree, then flashed to the tail of the troop with just a few leaps.
Jian Shengtong, Xia Yushen, and their people were all surprised by how nimble that boy was.
Currently, most of the superpower possessors were adults. Children rarely triggered superpowers. Even if some children did wake up their powers, they would be upgrading very slowly. However, that boy was so fast that he almost turned into a shred of shadow after hopping onto the tree. What he did made Jian Shengtong and his people feel under pressure.
“Let’s move. What are you guys waiting for?” Yun Meng flashed onto the roof of Jian Shengtong’s car.
…
At that point, some well-informed people had heard that a group of people from Earth Dragon Base was going to enter All Beings Base. Before long, the news spread across the base.
Most of them couldn’t accept that.
“What? Earth Dragon Base people? Why would we let them in? They are the ones who destroyed our Hades Base!”
“No! We can’t let Earth Dragon Base people in!”
“He’s right! They’re our enemies! How can they even think about joining our new base? That’s not gonna happen!”
The people who currently lived in All Being Base were all survivors from Hades Base. Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing were their Deputy Chiefs, so some of them saw the new base as the second Hades Base.
People gathered around the administrative hall, protesting. They wanted the base administrators to give up on accepting those Earth Dragon Base people.
A small part of people didn’t care, as they felt it had nothing to do with themselves.
They didn’t mind those Earth Dragon Base coming. It was a new base with new rules anyway. Even if they didn’t accept those Earth Dragon Base people, some other people from some other bases would certainly be joining the base in the future.
Currently, only a few bases existed in the country, and only a small population of humans was still living in the world. If people didn’t stop killing each other, the zombies would eat all of them sooner or later.
All Being Base was a new base, and was still shorthanded at the moment. Therefore, the base leaders wouldn’t refuse to take in more members.
Some other people heard that a lot of women were among that group of people. They were willing to accept them for the sake of those women.
All Being Base really needed female members. The men in that base drooled at Lin Wenwen, Long Qingying and Duan Juan every single day. They were being driven crazy by their physical needs that could not be fulfilled. If those girls weren’t so powerful and strong, they might have been harmed by some evil men long ago.
After all, only a small part of men were willing to be with other men. Most of them still liked women.
Because of the hundreds of women who used to live in Hades Base, those people wouldn’t say no to the group of Earth Dragon Base people.
Lu Tong, who didn’t really care, went to the administration hall along with the others, pretending to protest. Before the hall, armed soldiers stopped people from rushing into the building.
“Calm down, calm down! I know you don’t want to let those Earth Dragon Base in, but think about the hundreds of women, okay? They are from Hades Base too. They were sent to Earth Dragon Base as captives. Now, they are finally free. Are you gonna say no to them? Your sisters, families, friends might be among them,” Lin Feng stood behind the soldiers and raised both arms to signal the people to calm down.
Hearing what he said, some of those people quieted down. But soon, some said, “Let our people in, but not Earth Dragon Base people!”
That was a practical suggestion, but a little heartless.
Those Earth Dragon Base people risked their lives to escort the hundreds of women to the new base, yet those people planned to close the door and not let them in, but leave them out there together with the zombies. That was clearly not a decent way to deal with the situation.
“Yes… Let Hades Base people in, but not anyone else!” Those people would never stop hating Earth Dragon Base people for destroying their home and killing their families.
Lu Tong stood in front of the crowd as he put his chest against the soldiers’ guns and said to Lin Feng calmly, “Deputy Chief Lin, please ask Deputy Chief Yuan to talk to us. You can’t make this decision alone. We want to know what Deputy Chief Yuan will say about this!”
