Chapter 363 Test
Not only Fang Yuxin discovered the problem with the mutant falcon, but many people including Bai Zhengli also discovered it. Everyone felt that the mutant falcon did not look like a wild one, but more like a human-raised one. In other words, it was someone's contracted beast.
Realizing this, Bai Zhengli was both expectant and nervous. The mutant falcon seemed to have come here on purpose to investigate the situation. Although it left, the news of their appearance should have been passed back to its owner.
So, what will the other party do?
Bai Zhengli hoped to meet a rational person, so that he could ask about the situation in Long Province. But if the other party had bad intentions, it would be a fierce battle! He was not afraid of fighting zombies and mutants, but he was most afraid of fighting the survivors. It was not that he was worried about not being able to win, but he just felt that it was unnecessary.
In the current apocalyptic crisis, there are not many surviving humans. If they don't unite and instead only think about intrigue, then humans can destroy themselves without the zombies and mutants. He is unwilling to kill each other with his own kind, otherwise he would not have given up the relatively stable base in Bei City and traveled thousands of miles to Long Province to seek opportunities.
Bai Zhengli had been waiting for the other party to show up since he realized something was wrong. Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, the other party did not show up. He did not know whether the other party felt that their team had too many people and was afraid of them.
As time passed, just when Bai Zhengli was disappointed, an off-road vehicle suddenly drove over from a distance. The strange thing was that there was a group of mutant beasts around the off-road vehicle, and they were all fierce beasts. There were wolves, lions, tigers, leopards, and even elephants! There was also a group of birds flying above the car. The falcon was flying in the front, and behind it was a group of colorful parrots. It was really weird.
Seeing the car getting closer and closer, Bai Zhengli directly ordered the car to stop, and at the same time used the intercom to remind others to be careful and alert. This was his habit. Although the opponent's team was very small and could not pose any threat to them, Bai Zhengli was still very careful.
The SUV was getting closer and closer, but perhaps the other party was also on guard, and stopped 200 meters away from Bai Zhengli's convoy. Then, a car window suddenly opened, and a loud speaker came out from inside, and a man's voice asked, "Who are you? What is your purpose here?"
Bai Zhengli hesitated for a moment, then took out the loudspeaker and replied, "We are survivors from afar, and we want to find a safe base to settle down. We have no ill intentions."
He was already a Level 3 Psychic, so he could actually use his Psychic to transmit the sound. But their convoy was already huge, with many people. If he showed his Level 3 Psychic identity, the other party would be even more alert. In order to avoid scaring people away and end up losing more than the gain, Bai Zhengli chose to temporarily conceal his true strength.
Soon, the other party's voice sounded again: "Which place are you from? How many people are there in total?" It was obvious that this person was very alert.
Although Bai Zhengli did not intend to hide it, he did not want to be too frank, so he said: "There are more than 4,000 of us in total, and we came from the Bei City base. The safe base there is too small, and there are too many survivors, so there is not enough food. So we want to try our luck in Long Province and find a way to survive."
At this time, inside the SUV, a young man turned his head to look at the woman next to him. She was a pretty woman. Although her facial features were not very delicate, they were quite attractive when put together. In particular, her skin was very good, fair and tender, and she had neat short hair. She was a beautiful woman with temperament. She was not very old, probably around 25 or 26 years old. At this time, she was wearing a digital camouflage canvas jacket, and the slim fit made her look quite handsome.
The young man looked at her, a hint of obsession flashed across his eyes, and then he said worriedly: "Ake, what should we do? The enemy has a lot of people, and they were able to travel all the way from Bei City to Long Province. They must be quite strong. I'm afraid we can't control them."
The woman's name is Wu Ke. She was a veterinarian before the end of the world. It is unknown whether she had contact with animals. After the end of the world, she awakened and became a special superpower. She can communicate with those mutant animals and has a strong affinity, so she successfully contracted many mutant animals.
It was thanks to these contracted beasts that she was able to gain a foothold in the apocalypse, and even built a small safe base with others and became the leader of the base.
There is a lot of arable land in Long Province and the population density is quite small, so when they set up the base, they didn't have to worry about the location of the safe base like the survivors in other cities. They just randomly chose an area with a lot of arable land and set up the safe base.
As time passed, their safe base gradually grew in size and developed better and better. Food and vegetables were also planted in the fields. Although they were not growing as well as before due to the zombie virus, as long as they could mature, they would not have to worry about food problems!
However, not long ago, their small base was actually taken advantage of by someone! The leader of a medium-sized base sent someone over and arrogantly expressed his interest in their small safe base, and even wanted someone to take over the management. No matter she or her subordinates, they must obey. Otherwise, the other party will send people to suppress them forcefully!
Wu Ke was very depressed about this. The apocalypse had just begun and all the survivors were racking their brains to stay alive. Yet, instead of thinking about eliminating the zombies, they were actually targeting their own people for their own benefit!
Wu Ke was at a loss for what to do, and his hair almost turned gray with worry. They were just a small base, and their overall strength was not strong. If he had not contracted a large number of contracted beasts, and if the people in the base were not united and cooperated well, they would have been destroyed like many other small bases.
If the other party really sent experts to protect them, it would be fine, and it would be fine for her to give up her position as leader. But soon, she found that the other party's purpose was not to protect the survivors of this small base, but to turn them into obedient slaves!
What the other party values most is actually her special ability, and he wants to use her ability to capture mutant beasts!
After Wu Ke inquired through some channels, he found that many of the surviving small bases nearby had been abused by the other side and became slaves. Anyone who was dissatisfied would be driven out of the base. The existence of the base was to protect the survivors from the harm of zombies and mutant creatures. Once driven out, unless they were powerful, others would almost die!
Wu Ke didn't want her abilities to become a tool for others to use, and she didn't want the people in the base to become slaves! These days, she was worried that the other party would attack at any time, so she had been sending out the contracted mutant birds to investigate the situation. But this time, she actually discovered a strange convoy!
She has a special ability, and she can see what the contracted beast sees. So she can tell at a glance that this convoy came from outside! The other side has a lot of people, and they can get here safely all the way, obviously they are not weak! So, Wu Ke instantly had an idea in his mind - unite the people in the convoy to fight against the strong suppression of Chengtian Base!
This idea was too crazy, but she couldn't think of any other way. However, Wu Ke calmed down quickly. They didn't know who the people were. It was too risky to cooperate with them rashly. It might make the situation at the base worse!
But she was unwilling to wait, fearing that if she missed this opportunity, there would be no such good opportunity next time. So, she almost couldn't wait to drive out, and only brought six people and some contracted beasts.
At this moment, listening to the young man's words, her eyes flickered slightly, and she whispered: "Keep trying, don't forget, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
The young man naturally understood what she meant. After the apocalypse, there were zombies and mutants everywhere, and it was too dangerous to go on the road. Therefore, except for the beginning of the apocalypse, most survivors would choose to stay in the safe base closest to them. At this time, not many survivors chose to travel thousands of miles because it was too dangerous.
So if they missed this opportunity, they didn't know how long it would take for them to encounter new outsiders again. Unfortunately, they didn't have much time left! If they didn't come up with a solution, not only would the base be lost, but everyone in the base would be in dire straits!
So the young man asked again: "From Bei City to Long Province, you should pass through a lot of places along the way, right? There should be safe bases in those places. Why didn't you stay in those places, but came to Long Province instead? The situation here is not as simple as you think! It's even more dangerous!"
Long Province is vast and sparsely populated, and many people go out to work, so the number of both human zombies and survivors is relatively small. But relatively speaking, there are too many mountains here, and there are large forests, which are home to quite a lot of wild animals and even strange plants. After the apocalypse, these wild animals either turned into zombie beasts and zombie birds, or into mutant beasts and mutant birds. The remaining ones that were not mutated could not survive at all, and were almost all eaten up.
However, this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is the plants in the forest! At first, the survivors did not care about the threat of mutant plants. They naively thought that as long as they did not enter the forest, they would be safe. Until recently, mutant plants suddenly appeared outside the forest and even attacked the corpse hunters who went out. Then everyone realized the horror of these mutant plants!
The young man asked this deliberately, not only because he wanted to know Bai Zhengli and the others' plans, but also to hint to them that Long Province was not safe!
