Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback novel Chapter 745

Chapter 745: 398 Probe

The three of them had their suspicions, so they quickened their pace. Before long, they encountered another group of people. Initially, this group was also very cautious, but once they realized that Fang Yuxin and the other two were not advanced zombies, their attitude became much more enthusiastic and less exclusionary than that of people they had met before.

Fang Yuxin and the others took a careful look at these people and noticed that their strength was mostly in the second level middle-late stage, with the leader even reaching the peak of level 2, likely to advance soon. Although this group had only thirty people, and all were women, their relatively amiable demeanor suggested that they were also quite capable and were probably doing well at the base, which could be why they weren’t as petty as some others.

These people were clearly more amicable towards Fang Yuxin, not only because she was a second-level Wood Element Superpower User but also because she was a woman. In the apocalyptic world, women were significantly fewer than men, with elderly and children even scarcer. Most of those who had survived were physically stronger young adults.

Among the surviving women, many, due to physical constraints, had resorted to selling their bodies to stay alive. However, some refused to degrade themselves, struggling and persevering on their own efforts. The women before them clearly belonged to this latter category, so they showed a greater sense of identification when they saw Fang Yuxin.

Seizing the opportunity given their positive attitude, Fang Yuxin inquired, "We came from other places and would like to stay in Beishi Base, but I heard that Beishi Base is already overly saturated and can’t accommodate more survivors. Is that true?"

This revelation shocked all three of them! Originally, Bai Zhengyi and Zhao Qiankun had used the assault on Luyun County as an excuse to set a death trap for them. How could it be that more than three months had passed and Luyun County had still not been taken? Moreover, why had Zhao Qiankun again joined forces with Bai Zhengyi? Was he sincere, or was he setting another death trap for someone?

They all wanted to ask, but their current identity as "people from other places" shouldn’t have known about the joint assault on Luyun County by Zhao Qiankun and Bai Zhengyi three months ago. The three exchanged glances, then Bai Ye asked, "Since Luyun County has so much farmland, why attack it only now? With so many people at Beishi Base, and presumably many superpower users, shouldn’t it have been taken over long ago? The weather is so cold now; even if it’s successfully conquered, wouldn’t it be impossible to plant crops? Isn’t the timing a bit off?"

Bai Ye’s pretense was convincing, and the people didn’t suspect a thing. One of the team members even explained with a smile, "Actually, three months ago, White Wolf Mercenary Corps and Qiankun Mercenary Group also joined forces and tentatively attacked Luyun County. However, there was a complication then; Luyun County had too many zombies stationed there, and everyone who went to attack was wiped out, none escaped. So for a long time afterward, no one dared to attack Luyun County again. But this time, it’s said that the timing is perfect, and both White Wolf Mercenary Corps and Qiankun Mercenary Group are well-prepared. When they make their move, it won’t just be them; the remaining mercenary corps and corpse hunting teams will also participate, ensuring Luyun County will be conquered."
