Chapter 399 Test
The three of them had some guesses in their minds, so they walked faster. Not long after, they met another group of people. At the beginning, these people were also very defensive, but when they found out that Fang Yuxin and the other two were not high-level zombies, their attitude became much more enthusiastic, and they were not even as xenophobic as the people they had met before.
Fang Yuxin and the other two carefully looked at these people and found that their strength was about the middle and late stage of Level 2. The leader had even reached the peak of Level 2 and it would not take long for him to successfully advance. Although there were only 30 people in this team, and they were all women, judging from their friendly attitude, their strength should not be bad, and they lived well in the base, so they would not be as fussy as others.
These people were obviously more friendly to Fang Yuxin, not only because she was a second-level wood-type mutant, but also because she was a woman. Among the survivors of the apocalypse, the number of women was much smaller than that of men, and this was even more true for the elderly and children. Most of the survivors were young and middle-aged people with better physical fitness.
Among the women who survived, many had to use their beauty to serve men in order to survive because of their physical strength, but some were unwilling to degenerate and lived hard and tenaciously through their own efforts. The women in front of them were obviously of this type, so when they saw Fang Yuxin, they were more in agreement with her.
Fang Yuxin saw that they had a good attitude, so he took the opportunity to ask, "We are from other places and want to stay in the Bei City base, but I heard that the Bei City base is already oversaturated and can't accept more survivors. Is that true?"
When she said this, the captain of the team sneered and said disdainfully: "You heard it from other corpse hunters, right? Don't believe them. Bei City Base is a large base. Although the population is indeed large, many facilities are quite complete and the system is fair. It is not comparable to those other small bases. The three of you are all second-level psychics. If you want to stay in Bei City Base, the base will definitely welcome you."
Although there are many Level 2 Psychics in the Bei City Base, there are more ordinary people and primary and Level 1 Psychics. If they were ordinary people, it might be troublesome to enter the Bei City Base, but since they are Level 2 Psychics, they cannot be rejected by the base.
Fang Yuxin certainly knew this situation. She smiled at him gratefully and continued to inquire: "We used to stay in a small base with only 40,000 to 50,000 people in total. Even so, there was not enough food. With so many people in the Bei City base, is there really enough food?"
Hearing this, the corpse hunters all frowned, and even the captain showed some uncertainty on his face. But after thinking for a while, she said, "Don't worry about it. Recently, the Qiankun Mercenary Group and the White Wolf Mercenary Group have joined forces to prepare to take over the nearby Green Cloud County. Green Cloud County has a large area of farmland. As long as we can take it, the base will not have to worry about food in the future. You came at the right time. The base is recruiting people these days."
When these words came out, Fang Yuxin and the other two were shocked! Didn't Bai Zhengyi and Zhao Qiankun set a death trap for them under the pretext of attacking Lvyun County? How come more than three months have passed, and Lvyun County hasn't been taken down yet? Moreover, this time Zhao Qiankun actually teamed up with Bai Zhengyi again. Is he sincere, or does he want to set a death trap for someone else?
The three wanted to ask, but their current identities were "outsiders", so they shouldn't know about Zhao Qiankun and Bai Zhengyi's joint attack on Lvyun County three months ago. The three exchanged glances, and then Bai Ye asked: "Since Lvyun County has so many farmlands, why attack it now? There are so many people in the Bei City base, and there should be many superpowers, shouldn't they have taken Lvyun County long ago? The weather is so cold now, even if they really take it, they can't grow food, right? Isn't this timing a bit wrong?"
Bai Ye pretended to be very convincing, and these people did not suspect anything. One of the team members even explained with a smile: "It's like this. Three months ago, the White Wolf Mercenary Group and the Qiankun Mercenary Group also joined forces to tentatively attack Lvyun County. As a result, something went wrong at that time. There were too many zombies stationed in Lvyun County, and the people who went to attack were annihilated, and no one escaped. So for a long time afterwards, no one dared to attack Lvyun County again. This time it is said that the timing is right, and the White Wolf Mercenary Group and the Qiankun Mercenary Group are very well prepared, so they decided to attack Lvyun County again. When the time comes, it will not only be the White Wolf Mercenary Group and the Qiankun Mercenary Group that will take action, but the remaining mercenary groups and the corpse hunting group will attack together, and they will definitely be able to capture Lvyun County."
The three of them exchanged glances again after hearing this. They didn't expect that Bai Zhengyi and Zhao Qiankun would explain the last incident in this way. But it was true, this explanation was the easiest. After all, part of the team at that time was from the White Wolf Mercenary Group, part was from the Qiankun Mercenary Group, and the rest were scattered corpse hunters or corpse hunting teams. If they ran away directly, not to mention that Bai Zhengyi and Zhao Qiankun couldn't afford to lose this person, they couldn't explain it. If someone kept holding on to this matter and asked about it, who knows what they would find out!
The three of them sneered in their hearts, and then Fang Yuxin asked, "Do you want to join too?" This team has a good attitude, and she doesn't want them to become cannon fodder and die innocently. The team member who just spoke had a happy look on his face, and seemed to be ready to join, which made her feel uneasy.
Sure enough, when she asked this question, the captain nodded: "The reward this time is very generous, and our strength is not bad, so we want to give it a try. Why? Are you afraid?"
Fang Yuxin saw that this person had no ill intentions, and did not want her to go and die in vain. She hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice and said, "This is my first time in Bei City, and I don't know what the specific situation is in the Bei City base. I just think that since there are so many zombies in Luyun County, it's better for everyone to be cautious. The mercenary group you mentioned sounds very powerful, but if they are so powerful, they have prepared for so long before they dared to take action. Don't small teams like you have to be more careful?"
These people originally thought that Fang Yuxin was afraid and therefore didn't dare to go, so they inevitably looked down on her, thinking that she was no different from those people who were afraid of death and willing to degenerate. But later, they realized that Fang Yuxin was actually thinking about their safety, and her words were full of worry. These people were not ungrateful, and in addition to feeling guilty, they also liked her a little more.
The captain frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something, but she didn't say what she was thinking about. She just said to Fang Yuxin: "We understand what you said. If we really want to go, we will definitely investigate it first. We will never go there stupidly to die. You don't have to worry. Since you want to enter the base, why don't you come with us first? After the mission is completed, we will take you back to the base together. How about it?"
Fang Yuxin and the other two looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and agreed to her proposal. Although they would rather go directly into the base to see the situation, outsiders like them would probably arouse the vigilance and alertness of those in the base. It would be better to follow these people while they were still kind to them and take the opportunity to find out some information.
They nodded, and the captain invited them to get in the car. It was a small van, and except for the captain and a team member sitting in the front, everyone else sat in the car. When Fang Yuxin and the other two got in, the car seemed a bit crowded.
They had to do a mission nearby first, hunting zombies to obtain crystal cores. After getting in the car, Fang Yuxin took the opportunity to start asking around. She looked at the wrist of the person next to her and saw that the communicator on her wrist seemed different from the one she saw last time, so she asked, "What is this on your wrist? Is it a smart watch?"
The man was generous enough to pull up his sleeves and put his hand in front of Fang Yuxin so that she could see it clearly. He explained, "This is the communication device we use in our base. It was developed by the Qiankun Mercenary Group's research institute. Isn't it beautiful?"
Fang Yuxin nodded and praised it a few times, expressing his envy and amazement just right. The man then continued, "This is a recently released upgraded model with more functions. The old model we used before only had the functions of making calls and sending text messages. The current model also has the functions of lighting, recording, recording, and taking photos. The battery has also been upgraded, so it is more power-efficient and has a longer standby time."
Fang Yuxin exclaimed again, and at the same time felt a little envious - Zhao Qiankun really had a lot of good things in his hands!
She exchanged glances with Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang, and decided to buy this communicator after entering the base and take it back for research by the researchers. In fact, they hoped that the base would also use communicators now, but they were the old version.
Next, Fang Yuxin tried to find out more information, and she heard a lot. It can be said that since they left the Bei City base last time, the situation here has changed little by little. There used to be six major mercenary groups competing against each other, but now the White Wolf Mercenary Group and the Qiankun Mercenary Group are the only two that dominate. The remaining four major forces have almost been swallowed up by them. Although there are still some mercenary groups, their strength cannot be compared with these two. It can even be said that Bai Zhengyi and Zhao Qiankun have become the uncrowned kings of the Bei City base!
However, although on the surface, the Bai family and Zhao Qiankun can still compete with each other, Fang Yuxin and the others know that Zhao Qiankun must have a lot of evidence about the Bai family. This time they planned to attack Luyun County, which might be another conspiracy!
