Chapter 53 A Pure and Kind Boy
“In that case, let’s go together. But I’m warning you beforehand, if we encounter any danger, I won’t care whether you live or die.” Bo Yiyan said as he walked forward.
Ignorance is bliss. Although these two teenagers were a bit reckless, their courage was commendable compared to many adults who were afraid of death.
If we let them leave now, the other side of the door is a horde of zombies, which might not be safer than this zombie hunting ground.
Dai Yingying and Mu Ye walked ahead, heading towards the area where, according to their memories, high-level zombies might exist.
Xiao Bai and Bo Yiyan followed closely behind, and Hua Jingyishu, seeing this, quickly followed as well.
Behind them, the employees of the Huajing family in the unlocked Lindong branch deliberately slowed down, trying to find an opportunity to slip away.
Bo Yiyan turned around and looked at Qiu Jichuan, saying, "You and your people are now free; you are free to leave or stay as you please."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
The reason I brought Qiu Jichuan and his men with me was that if we encountered a large number of low-level zombies as soon as we arrived, we could use them as free labor and save some energy.
Once you've escaped the horde of zombies, let them go. The subsequent exploration missions are fraught with danger, so it's more reliable to bring your own people along.
However, after entering, Matt used his mental network to investigate and found that there wasn't a single zombie within a radius of several kilometers.
Taking Qiu Jichuan and the others along only made them a burden.
After all, without the suppression ring, these people will not only be unable to continue to obey, but may even cause trouble for them.
Xiaobai and his companions deeply abhorred the slave ring, but they were forced to use it against the Huajing family.
With the zombie horde now rampant, these people are all B- or C-level combatants, so they should be put to full use. Using suppression rings to suppress their abilities would be a huge waste.
The city lord has said that ability users who enter the ring zone are not allowed to leave the battlefield unless they are seriously injured.
Therefore, after these people returned to the entrance and entered the circular area, they had no choice but to join the main force and fight the walkers to the death.
His subordinates wanted to run away, and Qiu Jichuan wanted to run away even more, but he dared not run away.
Not only did he not dare to run away himself, he also did not intend to let his subordinates run away.
As the head of the Lin Dong branch, the loss of the entire warehouse meant he was doomed and would face certain death; the family head would never forgive him.
The only way out now is to follow Lord Bai and help them destroy the Hua Jing family. In that case, Lord Bai might remember his merit in following the emperor and reward him with a good position.
After all, Lord Bai is much more magnanimous than the vengeful family head.
Qiu Jichuan wanted to impress Lord Bai, so he naturally had to get his subordinates to serve Lord Bai.
Especially in this perilous zombie hunting ground, if danger really comes, someone has to be cannon fodder to buy time for Lord Bai to escape.
Thinking of this, he roared at his subordinates, "Do you even have brains? You came in with Lord Bai. Without Lord Bai, do you think the guards over there would have opened the door for you?"
"Unless you think you're capable enough to get back through the gap where the zombie horde entered," Qiu Jichuan shouted sternly.
“But now that the zombie horde has broken out, wouldn’t it be pointless for us to go deep into the zombie hunting grounds?” one of the subordinates said tearfully.
"What do you know? It's precisely because a large number of zombies have gone to attack the ring zone that this place is relatively safe."
"Besides, with Lord Bai, an S-rank, around, even if we really encounter the Zombie King, we won't die as long as we're careful," Qiu Jichuan said.
Of this group of subordinates, only four or five were truly loyal; the rest harbored resentment towards Qiu Jichuan.
After all, if he hadn't been controlled by Lord Bai and tricked them all into coming here and putting slave rings on them in order to save his own life, they wouldn't be forced into the zombie hunting grounds now.
One of the A-level combatants retorted, "Minister, we can't stop you from betraying your family and pledging allegiance to the enemy, but we absolutely refuse to collude with you!"
"That's right, that's right, let's part ways here!" The others echoed, gathering around him.
Qiu Jichuan looked around and saw that there were only five people left.
"You ignorant fools, you have all witnessed how powerful Lord Bai is. If I hadn't taken the lead in compromising back then, you would all be dead long ago!"
"If you want to leave, then leave. I hope you won't regret your decision today!" Qiu Jichuan said angrily, then led five loyal followers and hurriedly chased after Xiaobai and the others.
The rest of them went back to the entrance and knocked on the door. Just as Qiu Jichuan had said, they did not see Xiaobai and the others. The gatekeeper simply did not open the door for them.
Helpless, these people had no choice but to return, planning to find a safe place to hide first, and then shamelessly go back with Xiaobai and the others when they returned from their mission.
On the other side, Xiaobai followed behind Dai Yingying and Mu Ye. When they passed through a tall coconut grove, both of them were very nervous.
Matt laughed and said, "Don't worry, I've already checked, there isn't a single zombie here."
Dai Yingying exclaimed in surprise, "What? Not a single one? But this place used to be a gathering place for zombies."
Each time they come in to hunt, the hunters will divide the area in advance, and then use a dozen or so pieces of fresh beast meat to put in different areas to attract the zombies to come out and forage for food, and then each of them will kill the zombies in their own area.
My acquaintance with Mu Ye happened when my companions and I were assigned to an area where, among a dozen second-tier zombies, there was actually a fifth-tier zombie!
With our combined C-level combat strength, it would be difficult for us to deal with even a single Tier 5 zombie on our own, let alone when we are surrounded by more than a dozen Tier 2 zombies.
My companion was quickly killed by that fifth-tier zombie. If Mu Ye hadn't happened to pass by and helped me kill the fifth-tier zombie, I wouldn't have been able to wait for anyone else to come to my rescue.
It was from that time that Mu Ye and I began hunting zombies together, and we later became sworn brothers.
The way everyone looked at Mu Ye became very complicated.
He saved the little girl's life, but was drugged and sold into slavery by her uncle. When he woke up, he didn't say a word of blame to the little girl.
Now that the shackles of slavery have been removed, they didn't leave immediately; instead, they insisted on leading the way for them.
In such a chaotic world, what kind of family raised such a pure and kind-hearted boy?
After walking through the coconut grove, the group arrived at a bay where large reefs stretched out into the deep sea, connecting to a small island.
Mu Ye, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "When I passed by here before, I noticed that almost all the zombies became very quiet when they arrived here. They dared not roar or run."
Therefore, I guess there must be high-level zombies or high-level sea beasts on this island. The suppression of their level is what makes even the low-level zombies tremble in fear.
"Mu Ye, how could you keep such important information from me? No wonder you refused to marry me before, saying you were too tired when I mentioned wanting to visit this island," Dai Yingying said discontentedly.
"I didn't tell you because I was afraid it would scare you," Mu Ye said.
"Hmph!" Dai Yingying turned her head away. Mu Ye tugged at her sleeve and shook it. The girl turned back and glared at him. Then, before he could continue to coax her, she grinned.
Watching the two young children flirting and teasing each other eased the heavy and tense atmosphere somewhat.
"Let's go, let's go up to the island and take a look. Mina, if the situation gets dangerous, immediately use the tornado to get everyone away. Bo and I will cover the rear," Xiaobai instructed.
"Yes, sir!" Mina replied. Although she was more worried about her lord's safety, carrying out his orders had long been a habit of hers.
