Zhou Muyang was, after all, a representative of Xiangyang Base. It was one thing for Zhan Nan's base commander not to speak to him, but for a diplomat to not take him seriously at all, which made him quite angry.

However, since he still needed their help, he could only suppress his anger and say with a smile, "So you are a diplomat from Zhan Nan. My apologies. But I have something I would like to discuss with your base commander. Would it be possible for us to get to know each other?"

Not wanting to embarrass the other party too much, Zhan Siyu suppressed his impatience, stood up, and said, "I am Zhan Siyu from Zhan Nan. Let's talk over here."

Zhou Muyang was surprised by the man's imposing presence and immediately became wary. He then said to Li Jie beside him, "I'll go talk to Mr. Zhan. You can chat with your best friend for a while."

Li Jie knew that Zhou Muyang wanted her to gather information, so she could only smile and reply, "I know."

Zhan Siyu and Zhou Muyang went to a secluded spot to talk.

Li Jie also started chatting with Nan Xiangwan, but of course, she didn't answer his questions directly, and Li Jie couldn't get any useful information out of him.

Later, when Zhan Siyu returned, Li Jie was taken away by Zhou Muyang.

"Phew, that annoying person is finally gone. What did you guys talk about?"

Zhan Siyu looked down and played with his wife's fingers, saying casually, "It's nothing important. I just heard from others that our base has a lot of food and I wanted to exchange some. But I said I'd go back and see first. After all, although I'm the boss on the surface, I have other brothers under me, and I can't make decisions on my own."

"Tsk tsk, he really has a dream. Everyone knows that food is in short supply right now, yet he dares to ask for it."

"Indeed, they have big ambitions, but don't worry, even if they have them, I won't give them to them. Raising my enemies is something only a fool would do. The more miserable they are, the happier I am. When the time comes, I'll just catch them and avenge my wife."

"Hmm, I think that's a good idea. Let's do it this way. I don't see anything else to investigate here. Let's head back now, it's getting dark."

"Alright, let's go. Those people are no fun. I knew some of them from my past life, so there's no need to waste time on them."

Afterwards, Zhan Siyu left with his men, and Long Yehua, seeing his brother leave, followed him home.

After seeing the person come out, Liang Xuzhe immediately started his car and followed.

When they arrived at the gate of the National Security Base, they ran into Shen Xingzhou again. They nodded to each other before driving away.

Nighttime is when zombies are at their most powerful, so the journey wasn't very smooth.

When we arrived at the base, the vehicle was already filled with the stench of rotting zombie flesh, it was suffocating.

After parking at the car wash and handing the vehicles over to the staff, everyone went back to rest.

Nan Xiangwan and the others hadn't eaten much, and the main canteen was closed, so they had to cook for themselves in their rooms to fill their stomachs.

While eating, Nan Haochen complained, "That huge base didn't have any good food at all. I just drank a lot of beverages. They were so stingy. I'm never going to a banquet like this again. I'd rather stay home and read some comics."

Xiao Jing also agreed, saying it was pointless.

Zhan Siyu said, "Let's take turns attending these kinds of banquets in the future. I think Shangguan Yu has been doing quite well lately. Long Yehua is also a natural at diplomacy. It would be great if we could find Fantian. He's the most cunning one. I didn't even see him at such a big banquet. I wonder if he's not even in the capital."

Nan Xiangwan knew her husband missed his brothers, so she comforted him, saying, "Don't think so much. Look at you six brothers, only one is missing. You'll be reunited sooner or later. Besides, you said he's the most cunning. He's definitely waiting for us somewhere to find him."

"Yes, my wife is right."

After dinner, everyone went back to sleep.

Nan Xiangwang was so tired that she fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed that night. Zhan Siyu, after taking a shower and seeing that there was no meat to eat, resigned himself to his fate, went to bed, hugged his wife, and fell asleep.

The next day.

Long Yehua arrived early in the morning with his family.

Nangong Chen and Shangguan Yu were overjoyed to see the newcomers.

"Ah Zhan, from now on I'm sticking with you and never leaving."

Zhan Siyu said while drinking tea, "Okay, just settle in. I can afford to take care of you."

"Good brother, I still have some supplies that haven't been delivered yet. If you have a truck, could you help me transport them?"

"Okay, I'll have Mozi take some people to help you get rid of them later. There are fewer zombies during the day than at night."

Speaking of zombies, Long Yehua complained, "Last night when we went back, we were almost killed by zombies. How come zombies evolve so fast? If we didn't have superpowers, we would have been dead. Even high-level zombies can't be penetrated by pistols now. It's really dangerous."

"Heh, this is nothing. When you encounter the Zombie King and the Zombie Emperor, that's when you'll be truly desperate. Take advantage of the fact that no big boss has appeared yet, and hurry up and train. Don't wait until these behemoths appear so we can only run away."

"Damn, you're not kidding us, are you? There's someone even more powerful?"

"Yes, not only are the zombies powerful, but the real war will begin when animals come down from the mountains and are everywhere. If I'm not mistaken, we have at most a year left. After a year, we'll be on tenterhooks even when we go out."

After hearing this, everyone in the room fell into deep thought. The apocalypse really doesn't give humanity any chance to breathe; if you relax even a little, you'll be eliminated.

Only Nangong Chen, an ordinary person, felt very upset, since he didn't have any special abilities.

Nan Xiangwan was a perceptive person and quickly noticed the situation. She nudged Zhan Siyu with her arm and gestured with her lips.

After Zhan Si met him, he remembered that there was still someone he hadn't dealt with. He then said to Nangong Chen, "Achen, come to my room. I have something to tell you."

When Nangong Chen was called out by his brother, he was stunned for a moment before getting up and going upstairs.

Upon arriving at Zhan Siyu's room, he asked, "Did you call me for something?"

"Nangong, do you want superpowers?"

"What's the meaning?"

"So you want to become a superhuman? I have a way, but the success rate is only 50%. If you fail, you will die. Whether you try or not is entirely up to you."

After listening to Zhan Siyu's words, Nangong Chen immediately weighed the matter in his mind, and then solemnly said, "I want to try. If I die, please help me avenge my mother and sister."

Rather than living like this, he might as well take a chance. What if he develops superpowers? That way, he won't be a burden to his brothers anymore. Of course, if he dies, it will be a relief for him.

"Since you've made up your mind, come with me to the basement later. But I hope you can pull through. If you can, you'll be reborn. Don't abandon your brothers, okay?"

"I'll try my best." He didn't want to disappoint his brother, so he could only give it his all.
