Chapter 52 Am I very old?
After the meeting, Xiaobai and his group were on their way back.
Bo Yiyan chuckled and said, "Commander, have you forgotten why you came to find the city lord in the first place?"
“I haven’t forgotten. I also believe that, given Lord Shi’s character, he will definitely take the initiative to help me solve the problem after this battle,” Xiaobai said.
“What if he dies?” Bo Yi said.
"That's alright, at worst we can continue with our previous plan and march on the capital, Silvermoon City," Xiaobai said.
Hua Jingyi and Qiu Jichuan, who had been following them, exchanged a glance and saw in each other's eyes a deep sense of reverence.
They are all retainers of the Hua Jing family. To have climbed to their current positions, besides their own abilities, they have all engaged in deceit, intrigue, and backstabbing.
Their superiors treated them with a combination of kindness and severity, giving them a beating and a sweet treat, always using the infighting among subordinates to keep them in check and balance.
A leader with such an open and magnanimous heart as Lord Bai is truly a rare find in my lifetime!
Even as his prisoners, they couldn't bring themselves to hate Lord Bai at this moment; instead, they felt more admiration and respect for him.
Especially Hua Jingyi, from the moment she decided to follow Lord Bai, she was prepared to serve him faithfully.
At that time, I simply wanted to gain his trust so that I could follow him and make something of myself.
But now, he felt that choosing Lord Bai as his master was an extremely wise decision.
He believed that such a master would never push his subordinates out to take the fall in times of crisis, but would instead be like Lord Shi, sharing life and death with his subordinates.
The following morning, the city lord led his subordinates into the ring-shaped area and began a fierce battle against the zombie horde.
The city lord personally led the support team, which deeply moved the local garrison leader and greatly boosted the morale of all the soldiers who participated in the battle.
Soon, two elite squads sent by the capital's official army arrived on the battlefield, giving the soldiers hope.
Taking advantage of the high morale on the battlefield, which temporarily suppressed the zombie horde, Xiaobai led Bo Yiyan, Matt, and Mina into the original entrance of the zombie hunting grounds.
Accompanying him were Hua Jingyishu and Qiu Jichuan, plus all 24 combatants of B-level or above from the Lindong branch.
There were also two slaves that Xiaobai and his group had taken from Qiu Jichuan—Dai Yingying and Mu Ye.
The reason I brought them along was because they had just returned from the zombie hunting grounds and were familiar with the situation there.
When the group entered the hunting grounds, they found the area to be very quiet, with hardly a single wandering zombie in sight.
The employees at the Lindong branch were all on tenterhooks.
They are all wearing suppression rings, which do not affect their physical abilities, but do affect the performance of their superpowers.
They can barely handle low-level zombies, but once they encounter high-level zombies, Lord Bai and the others will definitely use them as cannon fodder, right?
The zombies will then destroy the evidence, and they won't have to bear the guilt of killing so many people.
However, at this moment, Bo Daren took out a remote control, turned on the remote control screen, and began to unlock their suppression rings one by one.
The first to be unlocked were two teenagers.
"You're just letting us leave like this? Didn't you say we had to earn 200,000 points before we could leave?" Dai Yingying asked incredulously.
"At that time, we just didn't want you to reveal our identities, so it was inconvenient to let you leave. That's why we used this excuse to keep you here temporarily."
Now that the zombie horde has broken out, we have made great contributions in fighting the zombie horde, so it doesn't matter if our identities are exposed.
The reason I brought you in is simply so you can show me the way.
"But the situation seems to have changed now. I guess your previous experience is no longer of much use, and your combat strength doesn't look very high, so you can go back now," Bo said with a smile.
"What makes you say our combat strength is low?" Mu Ye said angrily.
"Eh? You're not actually an A-level, are you?" Bo Yiyan teased.
“Lord Bo, don’t look down on Mu Ye. Although he’s only a B-level, he’s only sixteen. When he’s as old as you, he’ll definitely surpass you!” Dai Yingying said angrily.
"Am I old?" Bo Yiyan turned to look at Matt and Mina.
"Thirty-eight years old is not old, but compared to teenagers, it is indeed not young." Mina laughed, her shoulders shaking.
Bo Yiyan glared at her, then turned to Dai Yingying and the other girl with a stern face and said, "Are you two out of your minds? You finally got the slave rings, shouldn't you run as far away as possible the moment you can?"
"The zombie horde has already broken out, are we zombie hunters supposed to run to the city to hide and relax?" Dai Yingying said.
"I'm going with you to find that SS-rank zombie king," Mu Ye said decisively.
