Chengtian Base’s seven bosses, under the coercion of Ji Chengtian, each led a thousand troops to Peace Base, and the long convoy nearly blocked the entire road. Originally, these people had no real intention of starting a fight with the people of Peace Base, lest they weaken each other and end up letting Ji Chengtian reap the benefits.
These people also had their own plans in mind, hoping to pit Peace Base against Ji Chengtian’s men so they could reap the benefits like opportunistic fishermen. However, before they could put their schemes into action, a massive Zombie Group charged from a distance, catching them off guard.
Actually, it was their own bad luck. With so many superpower users, how could they not attract zombies? On their way here, they had already encountered several Zombie Groups, just not on this scale. Originally, the Zombie Group was heading for Peace Base; everyone from the Hope Battle Group to the skilled fighters of the base were all standing on the wall, which naturally attracted the zombies.
With the addition of the men from Chengtian Base, even more zombies were drawn, ultimately forming a rather large group. Moreover, there were still more zombies rushing over from the distance.
The people from Chengtian Base were all elite fighters, and they reacted extremely quickly. Seeing that they were being surrounded by the Zombie Group and that the zombies were rushing into the vehicles, they were the first to come out of the carriages and had their teams organized as they did so. Those suited for long-range attacks went atop the cars, while those suited for close combat got out of the vehicles.
Thus, in the blink of an eye, the group that was originally supposed to attack Peace Base was now caught up in a fierce battle with the zombies. Ji Chengtian, watching from afar through binoculars, couldn’t help but look troubled. While the onslaught of the Zombie Group could weaken these men, by the time they had dealt with the Zombie Group, how would they have the energy left to face the people of Peace Base? Wouldn’t his own men have to step in by then?
Unfortunately, this battle simply couldn’t be stopped. Zombies were devoid of reason; unless killed, once they marked someone as prey, they would not stop. Although Ji Chengtian was worried that the strength of these men would be diminished by the Zombie Group, making them incapable of confronting Peace Base, he had even less inclination to help, choosing instead to watch coldly from the sidelines.
At the same time, those seven bosses were all nearly bursting with frustration! This battle was completely unexpected; along the way here, their biggest concern had been how to provoke a fight between Peace Base and Ji Chengtian’s forces for them to gain the upper hand. They had finally found a way, but before they could act, the Zombie Group arrived, taking them by complete surprise!
Had it not been for the fact that they had brought their elite forces and remained on alert, casualties would probably have occurred at the first appearance of the Zombie Group!
Looking at the people of Peace Base, they were all just watching from the wall! There was no intention of offering help at all!
Of course, Bai Zhengli wouldn’t stand by and watch them die. Soon, all four squads of the Hope Battle Group were dispatched by him. However, to say that these people were there to help would be inaccurate; rather, they were actually out to snatch Crystal Cores!
All four squads went down, but the Fang Family’s logistical team, including siblings Fang Yuyang and Fang Yuxin, did not move out. With their abilities, they could have quickly killed the zombies below if they had joined in, but with all four squads already deployed, those who remained naturally had to be vigilant against any unforeseen events.
Besides, with the people down there entangled in combat with the zombies, both of their Skills could not be safely deployed without the risk of inadvertently harming others.
The leader of this Zombie Group was a Level 4 Power Zombie. It had been attacking one of the big bosses when Bai Ye went down; seeing the man in danger, Bai Ye directly intervened and blocked the Level 4 Zombie. The boss he rescued stepped aside, hesitating whether to help, just as he had decided to join in, he saw Bai Ye decisively beheaded the Level 4 Zombie and unceremoniously took the Crystal Core.
His heart skipped a beat—how fearsome was this man’s strength! Who was he?
Feeling uneasy, he opened his mouth, intending to inquire about Bai Ye’s identity, but before he could speak, Bai Ye’s figure flashed away, chasing after other Level 3 zombies, not even giving him a chance to speak. The man stood there, stunned for a moment, then broke into a cold sweat, feeling extremely relieved—had the zombies not arrived so abruptly, leaving them no time to execute their plans against Peace Base, they might very well have shot themselves in the foot with Bai Ye’s formidable power!
