In the end, An Ge couldn't persuade Wen Zihao otherwise. She looked at the somewhat foolish Wen Zihao with a hint of admiration in her eyes. If it were her, she might not have had the courage to sacrifice for all of humanity.
Wen Zihao felt a little embarrassed by the stare. He scratched the back of his head and asked, "Manager, why are you looking at me like that?"
"I suddenly feel that you have a touch of domineering aura about you."
Wen Zihao was confused. "Huh? What turtle?"
"Cough, you misheard. Don't worry, I will definitely find the strongest person to protect you, and I guarantee that not a single hair on your head will be lost."
Wen Zihao nodded, touched. The store manager was really too good to him.
Not long after, An Ge found him and said that the person had been found—it was her master. Wen Zihao hadn't even recovered from the fact that the shop manager actually had a master when he was dragged away by an old man with a sage-like appearance.
That's right, it's called "tiliu" (提溜).
The story begins when Jiang Shang finally realizes that he hasn't seen his little apprentice and Hu Jiu in a long time. Leaving the mahjong parlor, he discovers that during his mahjong obsession, many significant events have occurred at the Immortal Fate Inn.
When Jiang Shang heard that his young apprentice was in trouble, he even stopped playing mahjong and rushed to the branch store. After hearing An Ge tell him everything, Jiang Shang suddenly felt a little guilty.
So this is what my little apprentice has gone through! He's even been threatened by a deity. As his master, I'm such a failure, spending all my time in mahjong parlors.
In response, An Ge said that his master is his support. If the younger ones can't beat him, they'll wait for the older ones to step in. It's not worth using the ultimate weapon unless absolutely necessary.
It must be said that Jiang Shang was comforted.
An Ge wasn't just trying to comfort her master; in fact, she genuinely meant it. Although her master couldn't reach the realm of gods, he was a true ascendant, capable of resisting the power of the gods.
If she were unfortunately discovered by Rhodes and joined forces with her master, she wouldn't be completely powerless to resist.
However, this was her backup plan. After all, based on the information she had, there was still a significant gap between ascended beings and gods. Her master was powerful, but the situation on the other side was unknown, and she couldn't take unnecessary risks unless absolutely necessary.
Jiang Shang learned of what had happened in the apocalyptic world and insisted on coming to help. An Ge shared the same idea; with her master there, Wen Zihao's safety was at least guaranteed.
Seeing the distress signal Wen Zihao was sending her with his eyes, An Ge decided to choose to be selectively blind.
Wen Zihao felt like a cat being choked by the back of its neck, utterly powerless to resist. He had already felt Elder Jiang's strength; could they please let him go?
In the quiet room, Wen Zihao sat stiffly, unsure of what to do with his hands. Even though Old Jiang wasn't particularly imposing, he was still nervous.
"Why are you shaking?" Jiang Shang said irritably. The chosen one of this world is too weak. Hasn't he been kind enough?
Seeing Jiang Shang's glance, Wen Zihao shuddered. "No, no, I just didn't expect you to be the shopkeeper's mentor. The shopkeeper is already this strong, how strong must you be?"
Jiang Shang calmly took a sip of tea. After Cook's flattery, he was now somewhat immune to any kind of praise. "If it weren't for the Heavenly Dao, he would have the power to destroy the entire plane."
Wen Zihao... the shopkeeper's master, is he really a righteous person? How come he says something like "destroy the world" right off the bat?
"Although your personality isn't quite to my liking, I still admire your courage to sacrifice yourself. Don't worry, we'll just sit back and watch the show. The strong always make their appearance last."
Wen Zihao felt that the shopkeeper's mentor seemed a little unreliable. Was it too late for him to ask for a change of protector?
With Jiang Shang protecting her, An Ge wasn't worried about Wen Zihao's safety at all. She spread the word, and soon, everyone in places where information wasn't too scarce knew that there was such a person at the Immortal Fate Base whose blood could enhance zombie abilities.
The man, who had just finished a round of fighting, wiped the sweat from his face. They had defended against another attack, and everyone could live another day.
"Captain, what does the Immortal Fate Base mean by releasing this news at this time? The zombies are already crazy enough; won't this news just make them even more agitated?"
The captain looked in the direction of the Immortal Fate Base, his face filled with respect, "Didn't you notice that there weren't many high-level zombies participating in these two attacks?"
The man finally realized what was happening and his eyes widened in surprise. "You mean the Immortal Fate Base deliberately released this information to protect other weaker bases? But that's too much..." He didn't know what words to use to describe it, and even felt that the leader of the Immortal Fate Base and that man named Wen Zihao were more insane than zombies.
"Gather the high-level ability users in the team and set off as soon as possible. The Immortal Fate Base will become the main target of zombies in the future, so let's hurry to help."
"Captain!" The team members were startled; this place was quite a distance from the Immortal Destiny Base. The hesitation was only momentary; they quickly regained their composure and began packing their belongings without delay.
Similar scenes unfolded at many other bases. While everyone marveled at the righteousness of the Immortal Destiny Base, they were also secretly astonished by its strength. They'd heard their leader's ability was to conjure supplies, but hadn't expected their combat power to be this formidable as well?
If they didn't have strong combat capabilities, how could they possibly attract hatred towards themselves?
The people of the Immortal Fate Base accepted the fact that their base would become the target of all "corpses," thanks to Zhang Zhengyi and Wen Zihao for seizing every opportunity to strengthen their ideological understanding.
"You're saying our base is going to be besieged by zombies? I'm not afraid of anything! If I can sacrifice myself to protect humanity, my life is worth it!"
"There's nothing to worry about. The base is quite strong. If you don't even believe in yourself, how can you defend against external enemies?"
"I want to join the guard team, but they say I'm too young. Sigh, I really want to grow up quickly."
"I may not be skilled enough, but I used to be a doctor, so I can treat some external injuries. I want to apply to join the medical team!"
“Listen to me, you brat, all our good days are thanks to the Immortal Fate Base. You must protect the base with your life. Even if you sacrifice yourself, it will be for all of humanity. Your father is proud of you,” an old man said to his son, who had already joined the guard team.
"Don't worry, Dad. Didn't you complain the other day that you were running out of crystal cores? If the zombies really start attacking, it will provide us with some resources," the son said cheerfully.
As a member of the guard, he knew the strength of the leader and his men better than anyone else, so he wasn't too worried. However, just as his father had said, he was prepared to sacrifice himself for the base.
Quite a few people share this idea! Although finding a job at the Immortal Fate Base isn't difficult, nothing beats getting rich quick by directly mining crystal cores, right? With so many zombies this time, even ordinary people should at least get some scraps, right?
