Chapter 188 Mutual Aid Alliance
"The alliance has been formed, but Xingchen Park refused to join. Instead, it snatched away two small teams that were preparing to join. In this case, let them confront the Mother Goddess first." Ye Qi said.
Qiao Lan chuckled, "Xiao Qiqi's intestines turned black. I like it."
Ye Qi is secretly contacting other forces in the city to form an alliance.
At this point in City C, after months of apocalyptic baptism from autumn to winter, the population had been decimated. Of the city's original population of over two million, how many remained? A precise count was impossible, but based on the number and frequency of survivors encountered by field teams, it was estimated that the entire city might now be home to fewer than 200,000 people.
Among them, there are six to seven thousand people in the Crimson Dawn base, and the neighborhoods near the base are home to many people who depend on the base, about thirty to forty thousand.
These people either applied to join the base but were unsuccessful, or temporarily didn't want to be bound by the base, so they lived nearby for the safety of the base. Because the base would regularly clear out the mutant beasts in the surrounding area, and those extremely vicious robbery and killing gangs didn't dare to run into the base to cause trouble.
This is a relatively densely populated area.
Another densely populated area is the Mother of God base in the north of the city.
They are united by their faith. It is said that there are tens of thousands of believers, and tens of thousands more are surrounding them.
Therefore, these two large bases gather almost half of the current population of City C.
The other half were scattered throughout the city, some surviving alone, some in groups, some in fixed settlements, and some roaming everywhere, each one different.
At present, in order to fight against the Mother Goddess base in the north of the city, Ye Qi was preparing for battle in the base while contacting other larger forces in the city and some lone strong men, calling on everyone to form a unified alliance.
Of course, the alliance was not formed under the banner of opposing the Mother Goddess, otherwise it would be too conspicuous. The alliance here has not been formed yet, what will the Mother Goddess base do if they get the news?
Just say that everyone is surviving together and helping each other.
All organizations that joined the alliance, regardless of size, were completely isolated from the God Mother. They had either rejected the God Mother Base's recruitment, engaged in fights and made enemies, or they had long disliked the God Mother Base and were eager to destroy it.
After all, surviving in the apocalypse is already difficult. Mutated beasts and villains are dangerous enough, and now there's this psychotic behemoth, wielding the banner of god to steal resources, kill people, and preach—who wouldn't be disgusted? Not everyone is willing to succumb to a cult for a living and allow themselves to sink into a state of insanity.
But they were too powerful to defeat. So Ye Qi taking the lead in forming an alliance really played into the hands of many people.
Some forces hit it off immediately, while others agreed to join after some persuasion. Everyone had a tacit understanding. Although they didn't openly shout "We must work together to destroy the Mother Goddess Base", they all knew in their hearts that when the time was ripe, sooner or later they would stand on a united front and fight to the death with the group of lunatics in the north of the city.
During this period, Ye Qi met with various forces non-stop and had formed an alliance with more than 40 forces of varying sizes, totaling more than 20,000 people.
Of course, there are also those who are unwilling to join the alliance.
Either they want to remain neutral, or they simply don't want to be friends with the Crimson Dawn Base.
For example, the "Star Park" force in the east of the city.
The small base has about a thousand people and is based in the pre-apocalyptic urban park "Xingchen Park". It has strong combat power and is quite arrogant.
They used violence to seize supplies, bullied other survivors by relying on their numbers, killed people, set fires, and did a lot of bad things. However, unlike the thug bases in the past, they were not roaming around and committing crimes. They just hid in the blocks near the park, so they had less hatred and had not yet had a large-scale direct conflict with the Bloody Dawn.
The teams had fought against each other before, and both suffered casualties. This time they formed an alliance, because the other party was not in the same group as the Mother Goddess Base. Ye Qi stated that their previous minor grudges could be written off, and they could seek common ground while reserving differences and help each other in development and construction first, right?
The park boss is a level two fire type.
He threw a huge fireball directly at Ye Qi.
He sneered disdainfully: "Alliance? You are not qualified to be on equal footing with me."
"Ye Qi, even though there are many people in your base, how many of them are awakened?"
"And I have over a hundred Awakeners under my command. They can destroy you, the Bloody Dawn, in a matter of minutes. I have the power to do so!"
"So having planes is so powerful? Just fly over here and drop bombs. Haha, we're not those stupid thugs. Think about it."
He wasn't talking nonsense.
With the agility and stamina of the Awakened, it's relatively easy for them to survive an airstrike. Therefore, bombing Star Park like they did with the thug base is impossible. If you try to bomb it, and the hundreds of Awakened escape and then turn against you, Bloody Dawn will suffer greatly.
"The alliance is fine. All of you must obey me, and Bloody Dawn must also be incorporated into my army. I will be the leader, and everything can be discussed." said the park boss.
It's quite cool.
Then can Ye Qi agree?
He formed the alliance to deal with the Mother Goddess Base, not to let this second-level fire element run rampant.
Just based on the way this guy runs a harem in the park, if he becomes the leader, all the girls in the alliance will be in trouble because of him.
So as soon as the talks broke down, Ye Qi took him down.
When robbing the frozen pork to kill the Goddess Team, Ye Qi and his men deliberately put on the common equipment of the Xingchen Park group: baggy overalls.
He covered his face, gave a false identity, and started to frame others.
Who made them have so many awakened people in the park and strong combat power?
This combat power must be fully utilized.
No alliance? Fine, then you can just fight the Mother Goddess base on your own.
"This isn't about blackening the belly, this is killing three birds with one stone."
Facing Qiao Lan's teasing, Ye Qi explained seriously.
Qiao Lan counted on his fingers: "Three benefits? What are the three benefits? One is that it consumes the combat power of Xingchen Park, one is that it consumes the combat power of the Mother Goddess Base, and one is...?"
Ye Qi said: "They are concentrating on fighting each other, which takes up their energy. They have less energy to bully ordinary survivors, so they can protect the general public."
"Oh, everyone's happy!" Qiao Lan applauded her boyfriend.
The two didn't chat for long as they were both busy. Ye Qi had finished morning training and was preparing to go deal with base affairs, while Qiao Lan was preparing to start morning exercise, so they exchanged a few words and then hurriedly said goodbye.
When leaving, Qiao Lan took advantage of the fact that no one around was paying attention and while Ye Qi was saying goodbye, she quickly popped a candy ball into his mouth.
Apple flavor, sour and sweet.
The taste melted in Ye Qi's mouth, and Qiao Lanren had already run away.
Her plump figure spun around the track in the training ground, training her physique. There were other people on the track, all skinny as bamboo poles, but she was the only one with weight, like a plump duck among a flock of cranes.
"How cute." Ye Qi thought to himself.
"So cute." Yin Wanying said.
After morning training, Qiao Lan had breakfast and came to the special prison in the base.
Yin Wanying, who was imprisoned here, strongly requested to see her several times. Qiao Lan took the time to come here today, and as soon as they met, she was praised by Yin Wanying.
"What's cute?"
"Your clothes."
Qiao Lan lowered her head.
From her open windbreaker jacket, a light blue long-sleeved T-shirt was revealed, with the words "My Family Owns a Mine" printed in large letters on the chest.
There was also a line of almost invisible small characters at the bottom, "Spring Water Bottle."
