Chapter 401 Ambition

Fang Yuxin and the other two were staying in a small compartment. It was very small and only had a simple folding bed, without even a cabinet. This kind of compartment was a small room separated from a large house, and was specially rented out to small teams of two or three people like them. At present, Lvyun County has not been taken down yet, and the population of Bei City Base is too large, so housing is quite tight. Even for superpowers, many people have to squeeze into one room, and the situation of ordinary people is even worse, and they can only sleep on a large bunk bed.

The small cubicle they were living in now was expensive to rent, and without some connections, there was no way to get it. If the corpse hunters hadn't thanked them for saving their lives and helped them, they wouldn't even be able to find such a small cubicle.

Of course, in addition to this small compartment, there are better houses, such as various hotels or inns in the base, which are specially rented for high-level psychics. But once they go there, they will inevitably be exposed to the eyes of various forces, which is really not worth the loss.

The three of them didn't need to lie down to sleep at all. They could use their night time to practice, and they didn't mind the poor environment of the cubicle. What's more, living in the cubicle was just a cover. The real place for the three of them was Fang Yuxin's Qingmu Spiritual Mansion.

Before coming out, Fang Yuxin specially made three substitute puppets. As long as a drop of blood essence is attached to them, the substitute puppets can be disguised as their appearance and stay in the compartment. Even if someone suddenly breaks in, there is no need to worry about being discovered. Of course, Fang Yuxin's cultivation is still very low, and the substitute puppets he made are just low-level goods. They can't be compared with real people, and they can't hide from the eyes of those masters. Fortunately, this world is not a world of cultivation, and such substitute puppets are enough to bluff people.

It was already dark when they entered the base, and the cold weather made the streets deserted. Apart from the patrol team, not a single person could be seen, so after they arrived at their residence, they did not go out again. Fang Yuxin took out three substitute puppets to disguise themselves as the three of them, and then the three of them entered the Qingmu Lingfu.

At noon, they were with the corpse hunting team and could not eat properly. They could only make do with some compressed biscuits. Now that they had entered the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion, Fang Yuxin specially prepared a sumptuous dinner to make up for the lunch.

After eating and drinking, the three of them began to discuss the situation in the Bei City base. This is Qingmu Lingfu, and no matter what they say, they don’t have to worry about anyone eavesdropping. The three of them can speak freely.

Fang Yuxin said, "I can't believe that in just over three months, the Bei City base has undergone earth-shaking changes. Now the only one in the entire base that can barely compete with Zhao Qiankun is the White Wolf Mercenary Group. However, they may not be able to hold on for too long." As she spoke, she felt a little emotional. Although she did not regard the Qu family as a real relative, there was a kinship relationship after all. Now the Qu family has completely become a vassal of the Bai family, which is really sad.

Bai Ye was also not feeling well. He didn't like Bai Zhengyi and Bai Yi, but he still had some feelings for the Bai family. What's more, Zhao Qiankun had always coveted Fang Yuxin and was still obsessed with her. He even wanted to kill him, which disgusted him. Although he liked to watch the dog-eat-dog drama between Bai Zhengyi, Bai Yi and Zhao Qiankun, he didn't want to see the White Wolf Mercenary Group fall into Zhao Qiankun's hands, making him the real uncrowned king of the Bei City base, the only one in power!

So he said carefully: "Zhao Qiankun is too ambitious. If he really sets a death trap for his own selfish reasons and doesn't care about the lives of others, we must find a way to stop him!"

Fang Yuyang suddenly looked at him and asked coldly: "What will happen after we stop him? Without Zhao Qiankun, the Bai family will be the only one dominating the Bei City base. What's the difference between them and Zhao Qiankun?" Although he didn't like Zhao Qiankun either, he also had no good feelings towards the Bai family!

Fang Yuxin narrowed his eyes, raised his hand to stop the two from arguing, and analyzed rationally: "You are both right. Given the scale of the Bei City base and Zhao Qiankun's ambition, if he really wants to dominate alone, he will definitely not be content to occupy only the Bei City base, and will definitely expand to the surrounding areas. We don't know how much future technology he has in his hands. Once he swallows up the White Wolf Mercenary Group and expands outward, the Hope Base is likely to be affected. We must strike first!"

Although the Hope Base is in Long Province, more than a thousand kilometers away from the Bei City Base, it can be reached in a day or two by car unless there are any accidents. Not to mention that Zhao Qiankun has future technology in his hands. If the vehicle is improved, the time will be shortened!

There were many zombies in the past, so many people didn’t dare to leave the base too far. However, zombies are not like humans or other creatures. They cannot reproduce. As long as they keep killing them, their numbers will become fewer and fewer, and some of them will inevitably move outside the base.

The Hope Base can become a paradise in the end times because many people now dare not leave the base. However, once more and more people move outside the base, the tranquility of the Hope Base will inevitably be broken!

Fang Yuxin couldn't care what other people would do, but Zhao Qiankun was too ambitious. If he achieved his goal and successfully annexed the White Wolf Mercenary Group, he would definitely not give up a huge grain producing area like Long Province. Rather than waiting for him to become fully grown and attack the Hope Base, it would be better to take the initiative now and destroy his plan!

The three of them were very smart and had similar thoughts. Bai Ye also analyzed, "Although we just arrived and many things are still unclear, I believe that the joint attack of the Qiankun Mercenary Group and the White Wolf Mercenary Group on Lvyun County is definitely a conspiracy! Whether it is Bai Zhengyi, Bai Yi, or Zhao Qiankun, these people are all ambitious. Since they have already taken down other forces, they must have been waiting for such an opportunity to take down the other party and then dominate. Rather than saying that this is Zhao Qiankun's conspiracy, it is better to say that this is a conspiracy of both of them. They must be calculating to bring down the other party."

Fang Yuyang didn't like the people from these two families. A trace of disgust flashed across his face. He asked Bai Ye: "So what are your plans?"

Bai Ye continued, "No matter what their plan is, if they want to defeat the other party, they must start in Lvyun County. There are many zombies there, and once chaos breaks out, it will be easy for them to take advantage of the situation. Once we miss this opportunity, it will not be so easy to defeat the other party."

Fang Yuyang was not stupid. He sneered when he heard this and said, "They should be reluctant to consume the opponent's elite, but once the Bai family or Zhao Qiankun and his confidants are killed, the remaining people will not be a threat. Anyway, this is not ancient times. Everyone is united just to survive. Loyalty is not important. As long as the top few people are gone, the rest will naturally obey."

Fang Yuxin said: "In this case, let's act according to circumstances. No matter whether it is the Bai family or Zhao Qiankun, we cannot let them dominate alone!"

The three of them discussed for a while, decided on the next plan, and then stopped talking and sat cross-legged on the spirit gathering array to absorb the crystal core. Now, the crystal cores they used were all purified, and all the impurities and toxins in them were removed. Not only were they absorbed faster, but they also didn't have to worry about burying hidden dangers in the body. This was simply not something other psychics could compare to.

After a night of meditation, the three of them woke up the next morning feeling refreshed. They had breakfast in the space, and then left Qingmu Lingfu. Fang Yuxin put away the three substitute puppets, and the three of them left the compartment, intending to explore the situation in the base first.

Their faces were all disguised, turning them into passers-by. They couldn't be found in a crowd, so they didn't have to worry about attracting attention. After leaving their residence, they went to the commercial street first, strolled through the shops on both sides of the street, memorized the goods inside, and analyzed the situation of the base through these goods. From time to time, they would ask people for a few questions. Their current identity was that they had just entered the Bei City base, or they could be said to be bumpkins from a small place. Even if they asked these questions, no one would doubt them.

After a while of shopping, they visited almost all the shops, but they didn't buy much, only three new communicators. After all, with their current status, they couldn't have too many crystal cores on them, and if they bought one of everything, it would be suspicious.

Time passed very quickly. When they had almost finished touring the base, it was already noon. The three were about to go back to their place, but they met an acquaintance on the way. This person was none other than a member of the corpse hunting team that they had formed yesterday, named Chen Yuan, who was 28 years old, looked average, and was a strength enhancer.

She was also a little surprised to see the three people, and then she walked towards them and asked enthusiastically: "Why are you here?"

Fang Yuxin smiled and took the initiative to talk to her: "We just arrived and don't know much about this base. We just walked around the base. I didn't expect the Bei City base to be so big. It's already noon before I knew it. Sister Chen, how are the captain's injuries? Are they all right?"

Chen Yuan had no doubt that almost all newcomers would first learn about the situation at the base, but she thought that these three people were brought by her team after all, and she was too busy yesterday and didn't have time to show her hospitality. She felt a little ashamed when she heard Fang Yuxin's words. However, she didn't show it on her face, and just smiled and said, "The captain and the others are all fine, you don't have to worry. By the way, Xiao Liu, I remember that you are a second-level wood-type mutant, do you want to report to the base hospital and become a doctor? The treatment of doctors in the base hospital is still very good, you can try it."

Fang Yuxin thanked him with a smile, and asked some tentative questions. She found out that their team had decided to participate in the mission of attacking Lvyun County. After saying some cautious words, she said goodbye to Chen Yuan.
