Chapter 344: Sinister Calculation
Because of Fang Yuxin's words, the people who were not reassured at first became even more suspicious and uneasy. Especially those corpse hunting teams, big and small, when they accepted the mission, they did not know that this was a death trap set by Bai Zhengyi and Zhao Qiankun to eliminate dissidents. They saw that the mission was jointly issued by the White Wolf Mercenary Group and the Qiankun Mercenary Group, and they thought that the two mercenary groups joined forces to concentrate their main forces to attack.
If this is true, then both the success rate and safety will be very high. In addition to the generous reward, they accepted the mission. But when they arrived this morning, they found that the White Wolf Mercenary Group and the Qiankun Mercenary Group only sent about 2,000 people each, plus their scattered corpse hunting teams, all the people added up to just over 6,000. How can they take over Green Cloud County?
There are millions of zombies there! If they go there, they will be sending themselves to their deaths! What on earth are the White Wolf Mercenary Group and the Qiankun Mercenary Group thinking? Even if it is just a tentative attack, the number of people sent is too small, isn't it?
The corpse hunters who were able to survive the apocalypse were not fools. As soon as these people thought about it, they realized that there was something fishy about this matter! So, many people immediately decided to give up this mission.
Speaking of which, there is indeed a chance to give up the mission after accepting it at the Bei City base. After all, accidents can happen at any time, and someone may not be able to go due to an accident after accepting the mission. So in order to reflect the humane side of the base and to ensure the number of people on the mission, you can quit after accepting the mission.
However, if you quit a mission, there will be quite severe punishment, so unless something unexpected really happens, most people will not choose to quit after accepting a mission.
At this moment, someone quietly picked up the communicator, clicked on the text message page, and sent the code to exit the mission. There were many more people who were waiting and watching. The cost of exiting the mission was too high, and they would not do it unless they were sure that they could not go on this mission.
At the same time, Zhao Qiankun stared at Fang Yuxin, angry at her ignorance of the current situation. He thought that he had good intentions to stop Fang Yuxin from participating in the mission, but unexpectedly Fang Yuxin did not appreciate it at all and was determined to follow him to die! He felt very upset, angry and worried, but he could not find a suitable reason to keep Fang Yuxin.
Bai Zhengyi stood beside him, looking terrified, fearing that Zhao Qiankun would say something wrong again and be caught by Fang Yuxin. He had no choice but to stand up and said with a smile: "Actually, everyone doesn't need to worry. This is just a tentative attack, and we will send people to protect us from behind, so it's not very dangerous. Since Miss Fang is a second-level wood-type ability user, why don't you follow the team behind and treat the wounded in the rear? Isn't it better?"
There was nothing wrong with what he said, and it made people feel that the arrangement was quite comprehensive. So, those who were still hesitant at first gradually became determined. But at this moment, someone suddenly shouted: "Why can't the task be cancelled? I just sent the code to cancel the task, but it failed. Why?"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd became agitated. So far, there are only two tasks that cannot be canceled in the Bay City base. One is to build base fortifications, and the other is to protect the base when the zombies besiege the city. But now, since this is just a tentative attack mission, why can't the mission be canceled? What is the trick here?
Zhao Qiankun and Bai Zhengyi had never thought that someone would cancel the mission. In order to prevent their subordinates from being disobedient, they deliberately made some tricks so that once the mission was accepted, it could not be canceled. When they were questioned, the two reacted very quickly. Bai Zhengyi was an old fox after all, much more cunning than Zhao Qiankun.
As soon as someone raised the question, his expression changed and he said seriously, "It seems that there is indeed a problem with the mission center. Don't worry, since this mission is just a tentative attack, it can be canceled. Now, if there are corpse hunters who want to cancel the mission, please stand over here." As he spoke, he pointed in a direction and said jokingly, "People from the White Wolf Mercenary Group cannot cancel the mission. Don't forget, you have a mission."
Zhao Qiankun also said: "The same goes for the members of the Qiankun Mercenary Group. Do your best to complete this mission. I am waiting for your victorious return!"
The two of them sang the same tune and successfully dispelled the doubts of many people. However, the corpse hunters all cherished their lives, and although they thought the mission should be no problem, they had no intention of rushing to the front as the vanguard. So in the end, except for the people from the White Wolf Mercenary Group and the Qiankun Mercenary Group, more than half of the remaining scattered corpse hunters chose to cancel the mission.
Most of those who did not cancel were those who believed themselves to be strong and confident that they could survive and had no family to burden them.
Bai Zhengyi had given Zhao Qiankun an excuse before, so seeing that Fang Yuxin was still unwilling to give up, he said, "Miss Fang, what do you think of Captain Bai's suggestion just now? You, a second-level wood-type ability user, should not be the vanguard. It is better for you to follow the troops behind."
He has been secretly in love with Fang Yuxin for too long, and now he finally has a chance to get her. He really doesn't want to just watch her die!
However, Fang Yuxin had no intention of appreciating it. She smiled faintly: "No need, I am still very confident in my ability. Moreover, since wood-type ability users enjoy better benefits, they naturally have to make more contributions."
Zhao Qiankun secretly hated Fang Yuxin for not knowing the current situation. He looked at her coldly and stopped trying to persuade her.
Seeing that he had finally given up, Bai Zhengyi quickly suggested setting off, so as not to delay too long and cause more trouble. With his urging, Fang Yuxin and others easily left the Bei City base and followed the large group towards Lvyun County.
Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin naturally had no intention of really attacking Luyun County to help Zhao Qiankun and Bai Zhengyi. Not long after leaving the base gate, Bai Zhengli found an excuse to ask everyone to stop, calling it "discussing tactics", but in fact they were discussing where to escape.
The place where they stopped was between the Beishi Base and Lvyun County, less than 2,000 meters away from Lvyun County, which was quite close. However, they still had to think about how to leave.
The words of Zhao Qiankun and Bai Zhengyi before were clearly a warning to them that there were people watching behind them and they should not try any other tricks! But no one wanted to die if they could live. Zhao Qiankun and Bai Zhengyi had really gone too far this time!
After stopping, Bai Zhengli arranged for people to be on guard, and called all the leaders of other teams to a meeting. Now that the matter has not yet become public, it is still unknown what the other leaders are thinking, so Bai Zhengli did not dare to speak directly, but instead asked everyone's thoughts in a serious manner.
When these people were meeting, Fang Yuxin was not present, but quietly released his spiritual consciousness to be alert to the movements around him. At this moment, the Qiankun mercenary team suddenly took out spray bottles and sprayed at the crowd.
"What's going on?"
"What is this?"
“What are you spraying?”
The others were puzzled and began to discuss. Someone from the Qiankun Mercenary Group explained, "This is a new spray developed by our Qiankun Research Institute. Spraying it on the body can not only cover up the smell of living people, but also make zombies react more slowly. Everyone, gather together quickly, and after spraying, we can go to Lvyun County to kill zombies!"
Because his voice was quite loud, Fang Yuxin heard it. When she heard it, she became suspicious. This mission was clearly a death trap set by Bai Zhengyi and Zhao Qiankun to eliminate dissidents. How could Zhao Qiankun be so kind?
The others didn't think so. When they heard that the spray had such an effect, they got out of the car and surrounded the people from the Qiankun Mercenary Group, asking them to spray the spray on them.
Fang Yuxin saw this and quickly said, "Wait! Everyone, don't be impatient. Let's check the effect of the spray first."
As soon as she spoke, some people hesitated. The people of Qiankun Mercenary Group were dissatisfied. They joined Qiankun Mercenary Group and naturally believed in Zhao Qiankun. However, their leader was not convinced by Zhao Qiankun, so they were unlucky to be selected to participate in this death mission.
Before, Zhao Qiankun persuaded Fang Yuxin not to come, but Fang Yuxin refused several times without knowing what was good for her, which already made these people feel dissatisfied. Now, Fang Yuxin said such words again, and they disliked her even more.
Someone immediately said, "Miss Fang, what do you mean by that? These sprays were developed by researchers in our Qiankun Mercenary Group Research Institute with great effort. For this mission, they rushed to produce so many sprays overnight just to make the mission go more smoothly. What is there to check? Aren't you being too cautious?"
Fang Yuxin glanced at him, secretly cursing him as "idiot", and then asked: "Let me ask you, are these people here the elite of the Qiankun Mercenary Group? Is your leader the confidant of Captain Zhao?"
The man was confused and couldn't understand why Fang Yuxin asked this. But the person next to him was not stupid. His eyes flashed and he looked at Fang Yuxin and asked, "Miss Fang, what do you mean by this? Don't you believe Captain Zhao?"
Fang Yuxin took a look and found that everyone else was looking at him in surprise, so he continued, "You all heard it. Captain Zhao and Captain Bai said that this mission was just a tentative attack. So I want to ask you, if it was just for a test, why didn't you send out a team of well-armed elites to greatly reduce casualties, but sent you out instead? You should have got the spray in your hands a long time ago, right? Then why didn't you spray it on your body before setting off, but used it halfway? Don't you have any doubts at all?"
Some people were shaken immediately, especially those who were sprayed with the spray. They subconsciously raised their arms and smelled the smell suspiciously.
At this moment, a sharp roar suddenly came from the distance, and someone immediately screamed: "It's the zombies! The zombies are coming!"
