Chapter 47: Major Powers

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

The gate of the base was open. At one or two in the morning, an hour after the fire, the survivors who returned to their residences had not closed their eyes yet, and they heard the roar of cars one after another.

Some curious people leaned out of the window to look out. In the bright lights, dozens of cars drove out of the base and went to an unknown place.

In the back seat of the car, Tang Yichao yawned several times in a row, and his eyes were almost closed.

"Most of the teams that went out this time are the teams on the list." Gu Bingchen changed to a slightly larger vehicle that could carry six people. He held the steering wheel and drove the car, introducing the teams that were going out to Jiang Yunqi in the co-pilot seat.

"In addition to our two teams, there are five other teams, including Lin Jinnan's search and rescue team, Mu Weixi's Qiang Team, Zheng Yunshu's Jiyue Team, and Yuan Lu's Hope Team."

"The remaining team is called the Sunshine Team."

"There are a few old acquaintances, you have all met them."

Gu Bingchen looked ahead, drove his car and killed a zombie that rushed up, his tone calm.

Chu Wanyue, who was sitting in the back seat of the car, looked out the window at the endless night and said, "This operation was hasty. We were all pulled up in the middle of the night, and all the people who came were strong men from the base."

"The people above... have they had opinions about us for a long time?"

Tang Yizhao closed his eyes to rest, and upon hearing this, he sneered, "Of course, if the leader is incompetent, he will of course be afraid of rebellion from the people below."

"Not to mention that it's a chaotic world now. Let's not talk about us first. People from other factions in the base are probably dissatisfied with the people in charge of the base."

Long Yilan chewed gum and asked curiously, "Other factions? How many factions are there in the base?"

"Oh, yes, I forgot you just got here not long ago." Tang Yichao moved his body, took out a mint candy from his bag, tore open the package, and put it in his mouth. The unique mint fragrance was refreshing and pleasant, which made him sober up a lot. "It is said that the party is advanced, but it is just a group of people gathered together, forming a small group under some high-sounding banners."

"Oh, except for the army."

Chu Wanyue turned her head and added: "The base forces are mixed and chaotic, mainly divided into five categories. The first is naturally the small team formed by the superpowers, like the superpower team we formed, in fact, it is also the power of the superpowers."

"The second is the research institute. You have also witnessed what they have done. They are simply rat shit."

"The third is a team of ordinary survivors without any superpowers. This group of people does not have much say in the base, but their advantage is that they are numerous."

"The fourth is the army. The army has superpowers and ordinary survivors. Their strengths lie in their powerful thermal weapons and strong wills. Most importantly, they can unite."

"Among the above four major forces, the army has the strongest comprehensive ability. Unlike the other factions that are fighting for their own interests, the army obeys orders wholeheartedly and has a strong cohesion." "

And the ones who pose a threat to the higher-ups are the superpowers and research institutes."

"Ordinary survivors cannot contact the top leaders for the time being, and the army has always been loyal."

Long Yilan counted on her fingers and asked, "What about the last one?"

"The last one?" Chu Wanyue smiled. "The last one means nothing, or a free man."

"A free man does not join any one force, and even wanders between forces."

She looked at the two people in the front. "Our captain is an example. He does not join any one force, but has transactions with all forces."

"Now, Jiang Yunqi has to be added."

"I think he and our captain are the same type of people."

"The same type of people, why do you say that?" Xie Er, who had been silent, suddenly asked.

This question attracted the attention of everyone in the car.

Noticing that Gu Bingchen's gazes on her were getting more and more frequent, Chu Wanyue sighed and said, "Same indifference, and same enthusiasm."

"I can't find a suitable word to describe it. After all, this is my personal feeling." Chu Wanyue lowered her head and smiled helplessly, "Okay, I'm sleepy. Call me when we get there."

As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled down the hood of her sweatshirt. The wide brim of the hood covered her eyebrows and eyes, making it difficult to see her expression.

When Chu Wanyue was explaining the major forces in the base, Tang Yichao couldn't hold back his sleepiness and fell asleep.

It was summer, and cicadas were chirping non-stop at night. Gu Bingchen glanced at the rearview mirror and said softly, "You guys go to sleep, I'll drive."

Jiang Yunqi glanced to the side: "Do you need me to talk to you to relieve your fatigue?"

"If it's convenient for you, I don't mind."

"Then tell me about the stars in the sky."

"Okay."

Gu Bingchen seemed calm, but the arc of his mouth was bigger than usual, and his tone was uplifted, mixed with joy and satisfaction.

Xie Er, who was sitting in the back, saw it and was disappointed. He rubbed his eyebrows, thinking that if he didn't see it, he wouldn't be bothered, so he closed his eyes and rested his mind.

The eastern sky was turning pale, the light was soft, and a red glow appeared where the sky and the earth met. The scope of the red glow gradually expanded, breaking through the white mist, and covering the earth with a layer of red satin.

There was a faint voice in her ears, and Long Yilan frowned slightly, raised her hand, shielded her eyes from the sunlight, and slowly opened her eyes.

There was no one in the car.

? ? ?

Opening the window, each team chose a flat and open place to start a fire.

"Are you awake? Eat something." Xie Er leaned against the car door and handed over a bucket of freshly brewed instant noodles. "It tastes sour and spicy, I'm not used to it."

Long Yilan was stunned; he took the instant noodles blankly and asked in confusion: "Where are they?"

Xie Er raised his chin slightly and looked to the right: "Look, Wanyue and Yichao are eating."

"Where is the boss..." Long Yilan was very hungry, he picked up a large piece of instant noodles and stuffed it into his mouth, speaking vaguely.

"Can you finish eating before talking?" Xie Er moved two steps to the side, he stretched out his hand and pointed at a group of people in front of a big rock, and said, "They are discussing things there, do you want to go over?"

Long Yilan shook her head: "No."

"Okay, then I'll go and listen."

Xie Er walked straight towards Jiang Yunqi and the others.

"The people above are crazy, waking me up in the middle of the night, when I just fell asleep."

As he approached, he heard a low curse. He looked up and saw that it was Mu Weixi who tried to recruit him.

Mu Weixi's eyes were dark, and the others were not much better, with a hint of fatigue lingering between their eyebrows.

"Hey, boss, is this your new teammate?" Yang Yitong asked as Xie Er came over after not seeing him for a long time.

Jiang Yunqi raised his eyes: "Yes, the last name is Xie, one word is Er, and the mental strength is B level."

Yang Yitong's eyes lit up. Sure enough, the team members of the boss are also bosses.

Is this considered hugging a thigh?

Thinking of this, he turned around and pulled Xie Er to chat.

The topic changed very quickly. One second he was still asking "What is your ability?", and the next second it became "How old are you, do you have a partner?"

Xie Er, who was deeply disturbed, had a faint and gentle smile on his face, but he was sighing in his heart.

He was as talkative as Tang Yichao, or even better.

Damn, it would be better to drag Xiao Tang over to share the firepower.

Xie Er sighed helplessly.

If Tang Yichao heard his inner voice, he would definitely say in a sinister tone, "If I had known about him, I would not have come."

"A-choo."

Tang Yichao sneezed violently.

Strange, who is talking about him?

"I've heard of you, the new A-level ability user, seeing is believing."

Here, the person who took the initiative to start the conversation was the captain of the Sunshine Team.

Completely inconsistent with the name of the Sunshine Team, this captain's surname is Leng, and his personality is also rather cold.

"The captain means that he has long wanted to see you and get to know you." This time, it was Ke Fei who followed. She knew her captain's temper and immediately acted as a translator.

Gu Bingchen: "What's there to see?"

Leng Lingfeng said again: "You are very powerful."

Gu Bingchen curled his lips: "Need you to tell me that?"

"If there is a chance, I hope to have a competition with you." Leng Lingfeng said in a steady tone.

Gu Bingchen crossed his arms and said nonchalantly: "That's not necessary."

Several consecutive sentences were interrupted by Gu Bingchen's interruption. Leng Lingfeng looked away and looked at him, with no expression on his face, but he could hear some confusion in his tone.

"Captain Gu, I'm asking about Captain Jiang, it seems to have nothing to do with you."

Gu Bingchen was choked by this and was speechless.

"It's okay, what he meant is what I meant." Jiang Yunqi smiled lightly, and his words pleased Gu Bingchen very well.

With his eyebrows slightly raised, Gu Bingchen's eyes revealed a hint of pride.

Leng Lingfeng: "..."

"Ahem, why don't we talk about this mission?" The captain of the Jiyue team smelled a hint of gunpowder and quickly spoke, breaking the somewhat weird atmosphere, saying, "What do you think?"

Mu Weixi snorted coldly: "What ideas can you have, just do it."

Lin Jinnan pondered and said: "According to official data, the number of zombies in this corpse tide is no less than 10,000. Should we disperse and defeat them one by one, or confront them head-on?"

Seeing that these people had spoken, Yuan Yu, who had been silent, spoke up and said: "First, tell me, how many people did each team bring?"

"There are six people on my side, including me."

Mu Weixi stretched out a hand: "Same as above, six."

Leng Lingfeng said indifferently: "Five."

Zheng Yunshu smiled embarrassedly: "I only brought three people here, which should be the smallest number of us, but don't worry, our strength is not low, and we will not be a drag."

Gu Bingchen glanced at her indifferently and said: "Jiang Yun and I...Ayun's team and I each brought two people, fewer than yours, of course, more powerful than you."

Zheng Yunshu, who was inexplicably impressed, said: "..."

Each team had no more than ten people, even Lin Jinnan's team had only eight.

Counting all the people, they only had about thirty people here, and there were indeed tens of thousands of zombies in the corpse tide.

Therefore, everyone agreed to act in unison.

"Hey, why is there someone running over there?"

Yang Yitong's voice suddenly mixed in, and everyone looked in the direction he said.

"Oh, knock, it's coming for us."

His throat tightened, and his tone gradually became panicked: "Damn, what's following him is... zombies!"

Or in other words, a corpse tide.

The base did not lie to them.

The corpse tide is real!
