Although Hope Base is located in Dragon Province, over a thousand kilometers away from Beishi Base, one could reach it in a day or two by car, providing there were no accidents. Not to mention that Zhao Qiankun had control of future technology; if he improved the vehicles, that travel time could be further reduced!
Previously, due to the abundance of zombies, many people dared not venture too far from the bases. However, unlike humans or other creatures, zombies couldn’t reproduce. As long as they were continuously killed, their numbers would inevitably decrease, leading to expansion beyond the base boundaries.
The reason Hope Base could become a safe haven in the apocalypse was that many people were still afraid to leave the safety of the base. But as more and more people started to venture out, the peace of Hope Base was inevitably going to be shattered.
Fang Yuxin couldn’t worry about what others would do right now, but Zhao Qiankun’s ambition was too great. If he achieved his goal and successfully took over the White Wolf Mercenary Corps, he certainly wouldn’t give up on a vast granary like Dragon Province. Rather than wait for him to be fully prepared to strike at Hope Base, it was better to take the initiative and ruin his plans now!
The three of them were all very clever and had similar thoughts. Bai Ye analyzed, "Although we’ve just arrived and many things are still unclear to us, I believe that the Qiankun Mercenary Group joining forces with the White Wolf Mercenary Corps to attack Luyun County is definitely a conspiracy! Whether it’s Bai Zhengyi and Bai Yi, or Zhao Qiankun, all these people are full of ambition. Having already taken down other forces, they must be waiting for such an opportunity to take down each other and become the sole power. It’s not so much Zhao Qiankun’s conspiracy as it is a mutual conspiracy between the two sides, surely both of them are plotting to overthrow the other."
Fang Yuyang had no fondness for either side, and a look of disgust flashed across his face as he asked Bai Ye, "So, what’s your plan?"
Bai Ye continued, "No matter what their plans are, if they want to overthrow each other, they’ll definitely make a move in Luyun County. There are many zombies there, and once chaos ensues, it’s easy to take advantage of the confusion. If we miss this chance, it’ll be much harder to overthrow them later."
Fang Yuyang was no fool. Hearing this, he scoffed and said, "They probably don’t want to expend their elite forces, but once they take out the Bai Family or Zhao Qiankun and his confidants, the rest will be easy targets. After all, this isn’t ancient times; we band together only to survive, not to pledge loyalty. As long as the top few are gone, the rest will naturally fall in line."
She was also surprised to see the three of them and approached them warmly, asking, "What are you guys doing here?"
Fang Yuxin smiled and took the initiative to chat, "We’ve just arrived and don’t know much about the base, so we’ve been walking around. We didn’t realize how big Beishi Base was, and before we knew it, it was already noon. Sister Chen, how’s the captain and the others’ injuries? They’re all okay, right?"
Chen Yuan didn’t suspect anything, as it was common for newcomers to get acquainted with the base. She remembered that these three were brought in by her own team and since they had been busy the day before, she hadn’t had the chance to extend proper hospitality. Fang Yuxin’s question made her feel a bit guilty, but she concealed it well and answered with a smile, "The captain and the rest are all fine now, you don’t need to worry. Oh, Xiao Liu, I remember you’re a Second-level Wood Element Superpower User, right? Why don’t you stop by the base hospital and apply to be a doctor? The hospital offers good conditions for doctors, you could give it a try."
Fang Yuxin thanked her with a smile and cautiously asked some more questions, learning that their team still decided to participate in the mission to attack Luyun County. After exchanging pleasantries and advising caution, they bid farewell to Chen Yuan. (To be continued.
