Chapter 400: Sudden Attack
After Fang Yuxin learned about the situation in Bei City, he couldn't help but sigh that things have changed. The once arrogant Qu family and Qin family have now become vassals of the Bai family, and their forces have all been swallowed up by the White Wolf Mercenary Group. As for the remaining two major mercenary groups, they have also been taken into the pocket of the Qiankun Mercenary Group.
In addition, Zhao Qiankun still holds the leverage over the Bai family, so the Bai family is doomed to lose this battle. Considering the fact that the White Wolf Mercenary Group and the Qiankun Mercenary Group jointly attacked Lvyun County, Fang Yuxin, Bai Ye, and Fang Yuyang all felt that this was probably another conspiracy.
However, after so many days, there are probably not many zombies left in Lvyun County, so Zhao Qiankun is probably trying to kill two birds with one stone, taking down both the Bai family and Lvyun County.
However, they have not yet entered the Bei City base, and these things are just their guesses. The truth can only be found out after knowing more information.
The three of them were not in a hurry. Anyway, they had plenty of time to train this time. It was only the second day, so they could afford to stay in the Bei City base for a few days! So, the three of them continued to chat with the people around them calmly, and they unintentionally asked for more information.
Soon, it was time to eat. Being outside, the conditions were poor, and there was a possibility of an enemy attack at any time, so the team did not light a fire to cook, but just took out compressed biscuits and ate them with water. Fang Yuxin and his team also prepared some of these compressed biscuits, which were all produced in the base and were very good for resisting hunger, but of course the taste was not very satisfactory.
The people in this team were indeed good. At first, I was worried that they had no food, so I asked them how could Fang Yuxin and the other two have the nerve to ask for their food? Even if these people were living well, how could they compare with them? So the three of them took out the compressed biscuits and drinking water they had prepared at the beginning from their bags and ate them.
After a simple lunch, the captain led them to hunt zombies nearby. Although the weather was very cold, the population density in Bay City was high, so the zombies were relatively dense, so from time to time there would still be zombies wandering around the base, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Fang Yuxin and the other two followed the team to do the mission. At the beginning, they did not encounter any danger. The zombies that appeared were all small groups, a few or dozens of them, very scattered, and could not pose any danger to them at all. During the battle, the three of them stayed together and kept a little distance from the others. Because there was no danger, they did not expose their strength.
As time slowly approached 5pm, it was already getting dark. They had planned to return to the base, but they encountered a small group of 40 to 50 zombies. Because there were fewer zombies now, it was not easy to encounter zombies when going out to hunt zombies. So when this group appeared, the captain and her team members hesitated.
After finally encountering so many zombies, it was really hard to leave them like this. Who knows when they will encounter the next one. So the captain hesitated for a moment, turned to Fang Yuxin and the other two and said, "After we finish off this zombie team, we'll go back to the base. How about that?"
They have been hunting zombies together for such a long time. Now they have become familiar with these people and even have a friendship with them. How can they just leave like this? Besides, there are not many zombies. The three of them will naturally not refuse at this juncture, so they simply nodded.
The captain was obviously relieved. She was not afraid of the three people leaving, but they had become friends. If they were unwilling to leave, it would be troublesome. Now that they nodded, the matter was easy to solve.
Although this corpse hunting team only has 30 people, plus Fang Yuxin's three temporary non-staff members, Fang Yuxin and the others can see that although these people are women, their strengths are really good. They know their weaknesses and strengths very well, and they cooperate very well. It can be said that they have fully utilized everyone's strengths while avoiding weaknesses as much as possible. With such tacit cooperation, it is no wonder that they are all women, but they can still do well in the end times, without having to use their beauty to please others like others.
Including Fang Yuxin and the other three non-staff members, the team had a total of 33 people, but they encountered a total of 48 zombie teams, and their strength was almost level 2. Fang Yuxin and the other three outsiders could not insert themselves into the zombie hunting team during the battle, otherwise it would easily destroy their tacit understanding, so the three of them simply formed a three-person team to hunt zombies nearby.
Fang Yuyang was disguised as a level 2 wind user, and from time to time he would raise his hand to release small wind blades. Fang Yuxin was a level 2 wood user, and she was holding a knife, hiding behind Fang Yuyang, ready to attack any zombies that approached. Bai Ye stood on her other side, and he was disguised as a level 2 gold user, and occasionally he would shoot flying knives at the zombies.
Originally, the battle was going on in an orderly manner, but at this moment, a zombie suddenly rushed out of the team and pounced on the captain! Among these people, Fang Yuxin and the other two were the strongest, but the three of them were disguised, and the energy fluctuations on their bodies appeared very weak, so the captain, who was at the peak of the second level, became the target of this zombie.
It was so fast that it didn't look like a level 2 zombie at all. It was clearly a level 3 speed zombie! But in the blink of an eye, it had already rushed in front of the captain, stretched out a pair of sharp claws, and grabbed the captain's head and heart at the same time.
Others wanted to stop it, but it was too late! Someone screamed in fear and subconsciously closed his eyes, not daring to look down. Seeing that the level 3 speed zombie was about to succeed, the wind blade and flying knife shot at its hands and head at the same time. Then, Fang Yuxin shot out a green vine from his hand, and took advantage of the short pause of the speed zombie to tie it up tightly!
The captain was also quick to see the opportunity. She was also a veteran with rich combat experience. The level 3 speed zombie was too fast for her to react, but she still tried her best to retreat and avoid the speed zombie's attack. When the attack of the level 3 speed zombie was blocked by the wind blade and the flying knife, she immediately raised her hand and released a ball of fire, which rushed towards the zombie's head.
Fang Yuxin is a "second-level wood-type mutant". Her vines certainly couldn't hold the third-level speed zombie for too long, so it didn't take long for the vines to break. However, with the vines delaying time, the third-level speed zombie was also surrounded. These people didn't waste time and directly used their most powerful attacks. Speed zombies are very difficult to deal with, especially high-level speed zombies, which are even more difficult to defend against!
They had originally thought that the zombie squad this time was composed of only level 2 zombies, but they had no idea that there was actually a level 3 speed zombie hiding there, catching them off guard! The members of the zombie hunting squad were all terrified when they thought of what had just happened. If it hadn't been for Fang Yuxin and the other three to help, their captain would have been in great danger!
There was only one level three speed zombie in this zombie team, which was trapped by five people from the zombie hunting team including the captain. The remaining twenty-five people from the zombie hunting team plus three non-staff members including Fang Yuxin were responsible for dealing with the remaining zombies.
The three pretended to be superpowers who had just been promoted to level 2, so they naturally couldn't be too brave in hunting zombies. So the three could only watch the shining crystal cores being taken away by others, and they had to pretend to be powerless.
After a while, the five people finally killed the level 3 zombie. But the level 3 zombie was too fast, and all five people were inevitably injured. Fang Yuxin was a "wood-type superpower", so she had no choice but to save people. But she was not a real level 2 wood-type superpower. If she used her true energy to treat these people's injuries, people would definitely notice something.
So she directly extracted some wood energy from the surrounding air and used it to treat these people's injuries. This wood energy had not been refined, and Fang Yuxin had deliberately made some changes, so it was impossible to cure them. It could only barely restrain the erosion of the zombie virus on their bodies. If they wanted to get treatment, they had to get the base and spend a lot of crystal cores to seek help from the third-level wood-type mutants.
Fang Yuxin felt a little guilty. She could have saved people, but in order to sneak into the Bei City base, she had to pretend to be powerless and watched these people suffer. She asked worriedly, "They were scratched by that level 3 speed zombie and got infected with the zombie virus. Will they be okay?"
Five people were injured at once, one of whom was the captain. The rest seemed a little agitated, and one of them said, "Don't worry, they will be fine!"
Fang Yuxin stopped talking, and after dealing with the zombies, he went to the Bei City base with these people. The gate of the base was heavily guarded, probably because everyone was very vigilant after the incident of high-level zombies disguised as humans, so the three people were questioned very carefully, and even the people from the corpse hunting team were called in for questioning.
Bai Ye had thought of a story long ago and had discussed it with Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang, so no matter how they questioned them, the three of them had no flaws. In addition, the blood test later showed that they were fine, so the three of them registered their identities and got their ID cards before being released.
The five members of the Corpse Hunting Team were sent to the base hospital because they were infected with the zombie virus. The remaining team members were divided into two teams, one team accompanied the injured to the base hospital, and the rest took Fang Yuxin and the other two to find a place to stay, and were quite polite to them.
Fang Yuxin and the other two were now playing the role of second-level psychics in distress. They didn't have many crystal cores or supplies, so they couldn't afford to live in a good place. Fortunately, the members of the corpse hunting team had some connections and helped them find a small compartment to stay.
