"The intervals between each zombie horde attack on human settlements are getting longer, but the scale of each attack is getting larger, and the zombies are getting stronger," Wang Bin said seriously.
“It seems that what you said is really true,” Xiao Yuanqing said.
"I suspect that somewhere inland, there exists an even more terrifying Saint King-level zombie than the King-level zombie, which is constantly creating and strengthening zombies," Wang Bin continued.
"Ah, I really didn't know that!" Xiao Yuanqing said in surprise.
"Although I have no proof, there is a royal advisor in my kingdom whose superpower is prophecy! He predicted that there are five Saint King-level zombies in this world, one of which is inland."
"That's truly terrifying!"
"That's right. Every time we are attacked by a zombie horde, we lose many people. The rate of human reproduction is far from keeping up with the rate of zombie attack. If we let these Saint King-level zombies continue to develop like this, we humans will be wiped out by zombies sooner or later!"
"So, I don't know what you mean?"
"Let's unite, venture inland, find that Saint King-level zombie, and eliminate this threat forever!"
"Ah, what you say makes sense, but our Xiao family is small in number and is no match for that Saint King-level zombie!"
"Patriarch Xiao, none of us here are a match for that Saint King-level zombie, so I plan to unite all forces to fight against it!"
“You’re right. As long as you can persuade the other forces in Haidu, our Xiao family is willing to do our part.”
"That's excellent!"
Wang Bin didn't say much more on this issue after that, because he could tell that Xiao Yuanqing was making excuses and wasn't really agreeing to the alliance.
Once Wang Bin has persuaded the other factions, he will naturally step forward to protect himself.
If he were interested in forming an alliance, he would have made the decision on the spot and gone with Wang Bin to persuade the other forces.
The negotiations had not completely broken down, and Wang Bin did not want to make the relationship too strained, so he stayed for lunch. After lunch, Wang Bin took Miao Ruyun and Guan Xiaoyue back.
Everyone was waiting at home for news from Wang Bin. When they learned of the Xiao family's attitude, everyone cursed Xiao Yuanqing as an old fox.
After resting for a while, Wang Bin took Miao Ruyun and Guan Xiaoyue to visit the Snake King Gang, which was adjacent to the Black Dog Gang.
The Snake King Gang was only slightly stronger than the Black Dog Gang. The Black Dog Gang was easily dealt with by Wang Bin, so when Wang Bin came to visit, the members of the Snake King Gang were all on high alert.
After entering the Snake King Gang's territory, Wang Bin didn't state his purpose directly like he had at the Xiao family. The Snake King kept saying that he was willing to cooperate, but they would only follow Wang Bin to kill the Saint King-level zombie if the other forces in Haidu agreed.
After the negotiations failed, Wang Bin returned with Miao Ruyun and Guan Xiaoyue.
After everyone learned the outcome of the negotiations, they were all a little angry. They had come to negotiate with them personally for the sake of human safety, but these people were making excuses and delaying.
Wang Bin wasn't angry. The next day, he approached two major powers in Haidu, but like the Xiao family before him, neither of them was willing to step forward. They said he had to persuade other powers before they would step forward.
After some thought, Wang Bin realized that he needed to persuade the two largest powers in Haidu, the Qian family and the Haiwang Gang, first.
These two forces each have a King-level superhuman, making them the strongest and most powerful forces in Haidu. However, this matter is very difficult to handle because we know from the news that the two forces have a very bad relationship and are constantly having minor conflicts and fights.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Bin went to visit the Qian family first.
The Qian family had been keeping an eye on Wang Bin. After several days of inquiries, they learned about Wang Bin's identity and his purpose in coming to Haidu. They knew that Wang Bin would come to the Qian family sooner or later, but they did not expect him to come on the third day.
Qian Sihai, the head of the Qian family, personally led his clansmen to stand at the door to greet them, showing great enthusiasm. After inviting Wang Bin and the other two into the house, they were treated to a lavish welcome.
Finally, when discussing the cooperative alliance, Qian Sihai simply said that even if all the forces in Haidu were combined, they might not be able to kill the Saint King-level zombie.
That's the truth. Each attack can send so many zombies to attack the five major settlements at once. It's unlikely that the people from just one or two places could eliminate this Saint King-level zombie.
In addition, Qian Sihai raised another question: after killing the Saint King-level zombie, how should the Saint King-level magic core be divided?
Wang Bin had already thought about this issue, saying that the highest bidder would win, and the remaining bidders would have their winnings distributed among themselves according to their contributions.
Qian Sihai was also satisfied with Wang Bin's reply, but in the end he said that Wang Bin would have to persuade the other gathering places before the Qian family would step forward.
Although they didn't convince the Qian family, their response was quite plausible, as it was the truth.
In the afternoon, Wang Bin went to the Sea King Gang again. The Sea King Gang leader, Luo Wenlong, was very generous and treated Wang Bin and his two companions to good wine and food.
When discussing the collaboration to kill the Saint King-level zombie, he only made one condition: help him eliminate the Qian family, and he would immediately lead his men to kill the Saint King-level zombie with Wang Bin.
Wang Bin could not possibly agree to Luo Wenlong's condition, but he did not express his opinion. Everyone understood each other's meaning and did not discuss the matter further. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Wang Bin took Miao Ruyun and Guan Xiaoyue back to their residence.
Everyone thought the Qian family and the Sea King Gang were relatively reliable, but they stopped talking after Wang Bin finished his analysis.
"Neither the Qian family nor the Sea King Gang are as simple as you say. The Qian family may seem to have agreed on the surface, but how easy is it for us to persuade the other settlements!"
"Putting everything else aside, each settlement is thousands of miles apart, and it would take us more than half a year to travel back and forth. Even if we manage to contact all the settlements, reaching a consensus would be extremely difficult and would require a long time for communication and coordination. This is not something that can be decided in a short period of time!"
"The Sea King Gang's condition is that we help them eliminate the Qian family. It seems simple, but the Qian family also has a King-level superhuman. If we want to take down the Qian family, we will inevitably suffer heavy casualties!"
"Moreover, even if we help the Sea King Gang take down the Qian family, what if Luo Wenlong goes back on his word or makes excuses to delay? Actually, his mind isn't on the same page as ours. He just wants us to help him eliminate the Qian family so he can become the number one power in Haidu. I bet this guy is another Ye Ge!"
"Oh no, what should we do?" Everyone was shocked and angry upon hearing this, and they were at a loss.
“There’s no rush. We’ve only just arrived in Haidu. Let’s stay here for a while and figure out a solution later!” Wang Bin said.
Through Wang Bin's analysis, everyone finally realized that it was almost impossible to persuade any of them. Not to mention, the Qian family and the Sea King Gang were two major forces that could not be avoided. For a moment, everyone was frowning.
Wang Bin sat quietly on the roof, smoking and thinking of a solution.
He used to not smoke, but since he has had more and more worries, he has started to smoke a couple of cigarettes occasionally.
