Personally, Banxia would much rather go to the border to confront the zombie king than stay in S City as a nanny. She even considered taking care of the other zombie kings along the way, if possible.
Fang Yunyun clenched her fist: "We've only been at the base for a short time, but we've already gained Yan Ning's trust, which probably makes us the target of many people who want to get promoted. Once Yan Ning, our backer, leaves, we'll be vulnerable to sabotage. I don't think we should do this."
Cai Yuan also said, "A direct confrontation is fine, but I'm afraid that while we're fighting on the front lines, someone will deliberately sabotage us and use dirty tricks against us."
In this day and age, it's much easier to cause destruction than before the apocalypse, and if successful, the consequences are far more severe.
Su Yao spread his hands: "I'm used to a carefree life and I don't have the patience to deal with people."
Su Xiao and Zhao Xuan raised their hands in support: "Me too!"
Banxia concluded: "Then we'll refuse Yan Ning!"
Nanxing grabbed Banxia's hand and squeezed it: "Wife, do you have something on your mind?"
Banxia intertwined her fingers with his, saying, "I want to go to the front lines and meet the Zombie King."
The energy required for her and Tiantian to level up is enormous. If she doesn't accumulate more high-level crystal cores, it will be a long time before she can level up again.
Fang Yunyun silently gave a thumbs up: "Good ambition! But—"
She tapped Banxia's forehead. "Didn't you hear Yan Ning say that the Zombie King is at least level six? What are you going to do to fight it?"
Cai Yuan nudged Nan Xing's arm: "Banxia is too bold. You should quickly persuade her to give up this idea!"
"Just a level six zombie," Banxia said dismissively. "Don't worry, Tiantian and I are also level six. We're not afraid even if several zombie kings come at us at once!"
Su Yao and the others were shocked: "What?!"
Their abilities are only at level three, so how did Banxia and Tiantian level up so quickly right under their noses?
Banxia mumbled, "Just... a while ago."
Su Yao and his companions wisely refrained from asking further questions, instead enthusiastically lining up to shake her hand: "Paying homage to the big boss! No need to wash hands tonight!"
Banxia: ...
What a bunch of clowns!
The next day, Yan Ning arrived as promised. Banxia didn't have the habit of keeping people in suspense and went straight to the point about their decision: "We want to go to the front lines!"
Yan Ning was stunned for a long while before asking in a dry voice, "Have you made up your minds?"
Upon hearing news of the Zombie King, she considered inviting the powerful Banxia and her companions to the front lines to stop him from entering the country, but ultimately rejected the idea. The reason was simple: protecting survivors was the mission of soldiers, not ordinary survivors.
More importantly, the zombie king's level is at least three levels higher than that of the superhumans, making this a nearly impossible task. She couldn't bear to see these young children waste their lives.
“It’s a decision,” Banxia said confidently. “We have the ability to protect ourselves.”
Seeing Yan Ning's skepticism, she released Silver, Blackie, White Wolf, and Camellia from her spatial storage. "They are all level five and often fight together. They have excellent teamwork and can even fight against two level six mutated zombies at the same time."
What she didn't say was that Yinzi's several zombies were now beating up the sparring zombies in the space every day, scaring even the stupid zombies who only knew how to crave meat to kneel down and beg for mercy.
Yan Ning was overjoyed and so excited that she didn't know what to do: "Great! I agree. Don't worry, I will apply for the highest level of subsidy for you!"
"Forget about the subsidy," Banxia shook her head, she didn't care about that. "I hope to sign a contract with you in advance. If my teammates and I kill the zombie king alone, the crystal core will be ours. If we kill it together with the military, then it will be distributed according to our work."
Even when she died in her previous life, a level six crystal core was an extremely precious item, not to mention that most superhumans today are not even at level three, making it at least ten times rarer!
Yan Ning pondered for a moment: "I agree! We'll depart in two days. Make a list of what you need, and I'll try my best to have the logistics department prepare it for you."
Banxia didn't hold back at all: "I recently spurred the growth of a batch of vegetables and grains, and I hope to replace them all with crystal cores."
Zhao Xuan quickly replied, "Me too!"
The base was short of food, and Yan Ning was overjoyed and immediately agreed.
Since they would be spending a long time on the road, after exchanging the crystal cores at the trading market, the group began preparing food for the journey.
Banxia released the mutated monkey and mutated chimpanzee from her space to do the work in her place, and then found Nanxing: "I'm going out for a while, I'll be back the day after tomorrow."
Nanxing dried his hands, pulled her into the living room, and asked in confusion, "Where are we going?"
“Well,” Banxia explained vaguely, “I’m going to catch up with a ‘friend’.”
To be precise, it's about seeking revenge on the tree that harmed Nanxing in its past life!
Nanxing was a little sad: "Aren't you going to meet your friends without me?"
Banxia pursed her lips, not giving in: "I'll try to come back as soon as possible."
Nanxing paused for two seconds: "Be careful."
Banxia released several fluffy creatures, including gold and silver, from her spatial storage: "Sister has to go out on business, please protect brother for me."

After leaving the city, Banxia switched from the off-road vehicle to a snowmobile and sped off towards the mountains more than 500 miles away.
She didn't look at the map because she had walked this road hundreds or thousands of times in her previous life, and she wouldn't mistake it even with her eyes closed.
“Banxia,” the Devouring Tree hiding in Banxia’s pocket couldn’t help but speak up, “drive slower.”
"Um."
Seeing that she was not in a good mood, the Devouring Tree sighed and tried to comfort her: "Banxia, don't worry, we will definitely be able to nip the danger in the bud this time and prevent Nanxing from getting into trouble."
"Hmm?" Banxia found it a little funny. "I'm not worried, I just want to save time and get home earlier."
The entire mountain was buried in snow, making it extremely difficult to discern directions. Fortunately, the man and the tree had climbed this mountain more than once in their previous lives, and managed to reach the place where Nanxing had an accident in their previous life before dark.
The Sky-Swallowing Tree poked the snow with its branch: "The snow is at least three meters deep."
"Tian Tian," Banxia looked around in confusion, "have we come to the wrong place?"
The level 8 mutated tree that perished with them in their previous life was over a hundred meters tall. Even if it hadn't had time to upgrade in this life because the apocalypse hadn't lasted long, it shouldn't be completely buried by three meters of snow, right?
"Oh right!" The Devouring Tree suddenly realized, "Where did the tree go?"
The man and the tree looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally the Sky-Swallowing Tree suggested, "Shall we dig through the snow and see?"
Banxia was speechless: "How long will it take to dig through this deep snow?"
The Devouring Tree continued to offer terrible ideas: "Isn't there a bomb in the space? Why don't we try blowing it up?"
Banxia pinched a branch of the Devouring Sky Tree and tugged it slightly: "Stop watching cartoons and melodramatic dramas all the time, learn more about science! You want to experience what an 'avalanche' is like, blasting snow in the deep mountains?"
