Chapter 723 Pu Weichao
Things proceeded according to plan. Two days later, three seriously injured men arrived at our location, bringing with them a considerable amount of firearms. Yu Sheng was delighted to see this, as we didn't have many weapons to begin with, and their large quantity saved us a lot of trouble.
Two days ago, Yu Sheng took photos of people to monitor the activities of the large community. As long as a large number of people come out from the large community, we can basically know what's going on.
Actually, I think they were probably a little scared after we killed all fifty of them.
After all, the entire community only has about 300 people at most, and they don't have as many weapons as the army. Losing 50 people at once has probably severely weakened them. Any leader with a modicum of sense would understand that the army is not to be trifled with.
They will then take a break and wait until the army is completely relaxed before launching a surprise attack.
However, if they encountered an abnormal or impulsive leader, they would probably be gathering people in the community right now and using their numerical advantage to completely overwhelm the army.
That's not impossible, which is why I had them evacuate to our side one by one, so we could observe the actions of the larger community and see what they really wanted.
Time passed day by day, and a week had gone by in the blink of an eye. Seven wounded soldiers arrived at our side.
I'm a little worried about Pu Weichao. He hasn't told us anything for almost half a month, and I don't know how he's doing. I hope he's safe and sound.
According to Pu Weichao's previous plan, he should be able to reach the management level of the third-party team within a month. At that time, he would have power, and once he had power, things would be much easier.
Half a month has passed. When we arrived in the coastal area, there was still a lot of snow and the weather was still very cold. But now the snow has all melted and the temperature is gradually rising. Although it is still cold, it is at least not as cold as before.
Spring has arrived; it's time to start the war.
Nowadays, zombies pose no threat to us anymore. Almost everyone knows how to avoid zombies and how to kill them.
That's how it should be. In the beginning, people didn't understand zombies, so they were very scared, and many people died. Then, since the dead can also turn into zombies, in the beginning, the sheer number of zombies was something we couldn't resist.
We initially hoped the army could fight off the zombies and save the people from suffering, but what if zombies also appeared in the army? What should we do then? Perhaps we could kill them decisively at first, but as their numbers increase and the infection becomes more severe, no one can stop the zombie invasion.
This was the helplessness we faced back then. Now, everyone basically understands what the situation is. In addition, the personnel are relatively scattered and there are not many people gathered together, so it is relatively easy to defend against them.
Now, with the addition of people like Xiao Yatou and Yu Jin who are not afraid of zombies, zombies have become a resource for us, a fearless army that can play a significant role if used properly.
Yu Jin returns every two days to report how many zombies he has acquired. Now, half a month has passed, and he says he has gathered nearly a hundred zombies in a building.
One hundred zombies is already a lot; it's a formidable fighting force. As long as Yu Jin handles it well, there shouldn't be any problems. However, I still think it's not enough.
I gave Yu Jin a goal: collect two hundred zombies. Two hundred zombies—I don't think the large community can handle that number.
They only have a little over 250 people in total right now. If these zombies can get into their community, they're sure to kill a lot of them.
However, my goal is not to kill so many people. After all, too much killing is not a good thing. As long as they are willing to surrender, and their surrender is sincere, I will not kill them.
However, I estimate that they are unwilling to surrender. If the large community is truly unified and powerful, then basically no one would be willing to surrender.
…………
Two days later, the person Yu Sheng sent out brought back a message.
It is said that the large community sent about thirty people to the third-party team, seemingly to negotiate with them.
This surprised me a bit. Negotiations? What do they have to talk about?
However, since they've already set off, it means the third-party team must have agreed to negotiations; otherwise, they wouldn't have gone. The question is, what will happen next? Are they really going to negotiate, or are they planning a surprise attack?
I asked, "Is this happening today?"
Yu Sheng said, "Yes, just now, the people from the main community have already set off."
I said, "In that case, let's go over and see what's going on over there."
Yu Sheng asked in surprise, "Go over there? Is that appropriate? What if we get discovered?"
I said, "I'll go alone. After all, we still need you to take charge here."
"Alone?" Yu Sheng asked, a little worried. "Is everything alright?"
I chuckled and said, "What do you think? If I wasn't confident, do you think I would have gone?"
Yu Sheng didn't try to stop me, nor did he send anyone to go with me. After all, it's most convenient to go alone; if two people went together, it would inevitably cause some trouble.
"Do you know the exact location?" I asked.
Yu Sheng said, "I know."
After pinpointing the exact location, I set off alone with my weapon. My method of getting there was simple: I didn't drive, but rode a bicycle.
Driving is too conspicuous; the engine noise will easily attract the attention of zombies. Riding a bicycle is much more convenient, and it's more mobile, plus you can take the alleyway.
I'm not very familiar with the coastal area, I only know about the situation at the hospital. However, the place where the two sides were negotiating was a park near the hospital, which is a place I'm familiar with, and I also know how to get there.
It took me a full half hour to ride my bicycle to get near the park. I threw my bicycle aside, took out my binoculars and looked in the direction of the park. I immediately saw a lot of people in the pavilion by the lake, and I even saw Pu Weichao among them.
