Chapter 182: Million-Level Beast Tide

In the evening of the second day, the beast tide really arrived, and Yin Shan and the military base were on high alert.

Li Bo was extremely regretful at this moment. With a beast tide of this scale and no city walls to protect it, the military base was basically completely exposed to the mutant beasts.

He originally thought that he reacted quickly and had planned to find an excuse to bring people into the Spark Base in the next two days so that they could defend together. He was also confident that Yin Shan would not refuse.

But I didn't expect the beast tide to come so quickly. It was too late and I could only bite the bullet and face it.

Looking at the solid fortifications of the Spark Base, Li Bo began to think about backing out. If he went to the Spark Base by himself, Yin Shan would definitely let him in for the sake of justice.

After all, he is the only one who can check and balance the official base now, and Yin Shan trusts him very much, so he will surely not refuse.

Secretary He said, "Commander, I'll have the guards escort you to the Spark Base! Their defenses are strong, and nothing can happen to you!"

Li Bo was about to back down when Zhu Rui arrived: "Commander, Major General Yin said you should lead your team to the Spark Base immediately to fight the beast tide together!"

Li Bo's spirits brightened, and he said seriously, "The Spark Base simply can't accommodate all of us. Now that the beast tide is approaching, how can I abandon you and go alone? Zhu Rui, you must immediately send the order. Everyone should prepare to face the beast tide and must repel them!"

Zhu Rui said bluntly, "Commander, I'll arrange for someone to escort you! Please set off immediately. We will definitely repel the beast tide, but we can't do without you right now. After all, the Spark Base is relatively safe!"

After saying that, he immediately arranged for the first group of people who were vaccinated to escort Li Bo.

Li Bo refused to agree upon seeing this. These people were stubborn and he could not bribe them at all. If he sent them away, the people he arranged in the military base would be leaderless!

Secretary He became anxious and knocked Li Bo unconscious without hesitation, saying, "Zhu Rui, you guys escort the commander-in-chief over. I'll arrange a counterattack!"

After a pause, he seemed to remember something: "Everything must be done according to Major General Yin's orders, remember!"

Zhu Rui's eyes flashed slightly, and he responded, leading the more than one hundred people to the Spark Base.

Hou Ting was observing and saw that it was Zhu Rui who arrived, carrying Li Bo. She almost laughed out loud: "Shanshan, Zhu Rui and the others are carrying Li Bo here! They are the brothers who did the vaccine experiments for us!"

Yin Shan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Let them in!"

After Zhu Rui and the others entered the base, Yin Shan immediately arranged for someone to carry Li Bo away, then asked, "Do you want to go back or stay?"

Zhu Rui smiled slightly and asked tentatively, "Does Major General Yin have any other instructions?"

Yin Shan didn't hide the fact that she had nothing to fear from these people. She simply said, "That depends on what Colonel Zhu has in mind."

After hearing this, Zhu Rui carefully took out a piece of paper with the order written on it and said, "I want to see another copy before making a decision."

Yin Shan tried to take it, but Zhu Rui dodged and said, "Major General Yin should be able to see it clearly." Then he took out his pistol and loaded it.

Seeing this, the people behind him also took out their guns.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Yin Shan had clearly read the contents of the paper. They were exactly the same as the orders Fang Wenting had given them at the grassland base.

Then he took out the order from the space and said with a smile: "Colonel Zhu, can you see it clearly?"

Zhu Rui saw the order, put away his gun, saluted and said, "We will all rely on Major General Yin's arrangements!"

Yin Shan put down a pile of evolution fluids and said, "Improve your strength first. I don't need you for now. But Li Bo didn't eliminate all 200 of you? And why didn't you reveal anything when we were testing the vaccine at the military base?"

Zhu Rui was not polite either. He signaled his men to put away the evolution liquid and followed Tang Xiao and the others.

Then he said, “You seemed to be too close to Li Bo at the time, so I didn’t dare to say it.

We've always been stubborn, and we've been following Chairman Fang since before the apocalypse. Naturally, Li Bo was wary of us, even during the vaccine testing. I was actually worried then. I was afraid you two might be colluding and taking advantage of the situation to get rid of us.

It wasn't until the fifth wave, when it was supposed to be our people who were vaccinated, but you got vaccinated instead, that I could be slightly sure that you were trustworthy.

Later, my people reported that Li Bo arranged for someone from the M City base to come meet you, and that he also arranged for sentries to monitor the Spark Base. This made me completely convinced that you weren't on his side.

Yin Shan said, "It's also possible that we're just putting on a show. Aren't you afraid of being fooled?"

Zhu Rui said, "There are two copies of the order. One is in your hand, and the other is with me. I need to see the exact same order before I will obey you."

Yin Shan said, "It seems this order was brought to you by the group of people Fang Wenting initially arranged to fake their deaths. Then, can you tell me how many people he left behind, and whether they are loyal?"

Zhu Rui said helplessly, "I don't know, and I don't know if anyone else has this order. But at the military base, I can only fully trust 500 people. The people I brought out this time are all people you've met. It's just to facilitate this conversation. After all, they are all acquaintances, so it's easy to talk.

The other 300 men are scattered throughout the various companies and platoons at the military base. Without special orders, they will remain in place. I can vouch for their loyalty with my life."

Yin Shan said, "Find a way to send a message to them and test the attitude of the people at the military base, and then proceed slowly. But if you bring Li Bo here like this, aren't you afraid that he will get angry?"

Zhu Rui laughed and said, "It wasn't me who knocked him out, it was his secretary who did it!"

Yin Shan nodded. "Just focus on improving your strength. Li Bo won't wake up that quickly. Let him sleep for a day while I finish the arrangements. Also, you can't all return alive, understand?"

Zhu Rui nodded in agreement and headed in the direction Tang Xiao and the others left.

Hou Ting asked, "Is it really credible?"

Yin Shan asked, "Zhu Rui is on the list, and do you think those mutant grasses are easy to deal with? By the way, Li Bo was carried here like that. Did Huihui retreat?"

Squeak!

As soon as he finished speaking, Huihui jumped up, dancing with joy. Yin Shan laughed, patted its little head, and praised it, "Well done, Huihui. Go report to Baiwan!"

Huihui nodded and followed the smell to find Li Baiwan.

Yin Shan stood on the city wall, looking at the black mass of beasts rushing towards him, and asked: "Monkey, do you think I am wrong to do this? I don't know how many people will die after this wave of beasts passes..."

Hou Ting said coldly, "It's just training. What's the point of going after them one by one? How can you break through without experiencing life and death? There's no need for a fool to live any longer."

Li Bo fled the battlefield, and his subordinates are still not sure what they think. I don't believe Zhu Rui didn't have a backup plan.
