The man driving Hu Yanxiang's car whispered to him after driving for a short while:

"Brother Xiang, are we really going to Xiangcheng Base? Think about it, what's the situation at Xiangcheng Base right now? It's full of zombies outside."

"I guess Chen Hu went to the Xiangcheng base and got buried in the zombies too."

Hu Yanxiang thought about it and felt that what the man said made sense. The Xiangcheng base was now completely surrounded by a zombie horde.

If they went any further, they would encounter zombies.

Chen Hu didn't bring many people to the Xiangcheng base; including his dead old mother, there were at most five people.

How could those five people possibly defeat so many zombies?

So Hu Yanxiang instructed the man driving the car.

“Drive forward for another half an hour. After that, we will stop.”

“You all need to keep your mouths shut. If Qu Shiheng asks, just say that we pushed Chen Hu into the zombie horde and that Chen Hu has been eaten beyond recognition by the zombies.”

"Do you understand?"

Everyone nodded, and after driving for half an hour towards the Xiangcheng base, they finally got going.

They decisively turned back home.

On the way back to the E City base, the group found a corpse that resembled Chen Hu in build, tied it to the roof of the car, and drove back to the E City base.

In this day and age, corpses are everywhere; this is no exaggeration.

Those who have never left the Xiangcheng base cannot understand what kind of hellish scene this is.

There were so many corpses that as you drove along the road, you would see a disfigured body every few meters.

Qu Shiheng wasn't lying. Despite the dire situation at E City Base, it was still considered relatively safe, convenient, and well-supplied compared to other places.

At least in the E City base, there are still so many people alive.

If you're lucky, you can find a lot of supplies among the rubble inside and outside the E City base.

Hu Yanxiang and his group of men were truly incredibly audacious.

They dragged the corpse, which resembled Chen Hu's build, to Qu Shiheng's front.

Qu Shiheng looked at the corpse, whose face had been mostly eaten away, with disgust.

He glanced at it casually, waved his hand, and said to Hu Yanxiang:

"Send this body to the Xiangcheng base."

“Just tell Hua Mi at the Xiangcheng base that E City is very sincere and wants to reconcile with Xiangcheng.”

"It was all Chen Hu's fault before. If it weren't for Chen Hu instigating me behind the scenes, I wouldn't have done such an irrational thing."

"You must remember that your attitude must be good, after all, you represent me."

Qu Shiheng also said,

"Whether our E City base can have enough food, medical supplies and water depends entirely on whether we can please that bitch surnamed Hua."

Qu Shiheng was furious. He certainly disliked Hua Mi, but now he had no choice but to try to please her.

The situation at the E City base is simply too bad.

Every day, huge numbers of people are defecating and urinating everywhere because of diarrhea.

He finally died in the excrement and urine of the E City base.

That was truly awful.

Qu Shiheng had never seen a survivor bleed like that before.

They would become extremely thin and emaciated due to blood loss.

Not only had Qu Shiheng never seen such a scene before, but none of his family members had either.

But because he is a superhuman, he can hold on, while more and more people in the E City base are not able to hold on.

He suddenly felt a profound sense of tragic destiny, a feeling he couldn't share with anyone.

In this state of mind, his uncles and aunts put a lot of pressure on him.

If Qu Shiheng cannot resolve the predicament of the E City base, then the Qu family has said...

They donated supplies to the Xiangcheng base and moved the Qu family there, but they didn't leave any supplies for Qu Shiheng.

This signifies Qu Shiheng's complete defeat; he has lost his base and his status.

Qu Shiheng was unwilling to admit defeat so easily. He had no choice but to lower his proud head, offer Chen Hu's corpse to Hua Mi, and take the initiative to sue for peace.

Thus, Hu Yanxiang cursed under his breath, yet he had no choice but to drag "Chen Hu's" corpse and drive towards the Xiangcheng base.

However, they all agreed not to approach the Xiangcheng base.

While on the road, they made a phone call to someone they knew at the Xiangcheng base.

They reported their sincerity in wanting to offer Chen Hu's body to Qin Zhen.

They couldn't contact Hua Mi directly; not everyone knew Hua Mi's phone number.

To show E City's sincerity, they must first get past Qin Zhen.

The so-called sincerity was to directly tell the people in Xiangcheng that they had brought Chen Hu's body and were asking for forgiveness.

And then? That's it.

After Hu Yanxiang hung up the phone, someone in the car whispered:

"Now that we've already left the E City base, why should we go back to it?"

"The E City base is in this state now, who knows what will happen in the future?"

Another man said, his voice filled with sorrow.

“But what can we do if we don’t go back to E City base? Look outside Xiang City base, it’s full of zombies.”

"Even if we fight our way to the death and manage to get to the edge of Xiangcheng Base, Xiangcheng Base will not accept us."
