Chapter 527: 289 New Type Detector! (Third Update)
Fang Yuxin heard Bai Ye’s words and quickly calmed herself down. Thankfully, her change of expression was fleeting, and people like Wan Lin didn’t notice anything amiss.
Afterward, Bai Ye asked, "How far is it to Beishi Base from here? Can you guys show us the way?"
Wan Lin, seeing that these people were quite capable and seemed to have good temperaments, had long wanted to ingratiate himself with them. Hearing Bai Ye’s request, he readily responded, "It’s already noon, and we’re actually about to head back ourselves. Why don’t we go together?"
On a normal day, they would not return to save on gasoline, but Wan Lin changed his usual approach to cozy up to Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin. Besides, they were all somewhat exhausted after that terrifying encounter, so going back for some rest was not a bad idea.
Thus, after Wan Lin spoke up, nobody objected.
Their vehicle was nearby, and being surrounded by zombies was an accident. Once they found the car, Wan Lin and his team led the way as they all set off for Beishi Base.
Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye noticed that Wan Lin and his group drove a small truck, which had a cargo compartment in the back where quite a few people could sit, but since the compartment was open, it was relatively risky.
It seemed that these people were not in a very good situation.
Nevertheless, since fate had merely thrown them together, Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin were far from saints. Seeing their plight, they simply sighed inwardly, without feeling an obligation to improve their lives.
Along the way to Beishi Base, they encountered numerous Corpse Hunting Teams. They were all small groups, and it was unclear where the members of the larger Mercenary Corps had gone.
Wan Lin seemed to realize their bewilderment and took the chance when alone to inform them that the zombies nearby were led by Advanced zombie leaders who usually hid themselves. The scattered zombies wandering outside belonged to smaller Zombie Groups. The large Mercenary Corps were engaged in other missions. Once there was a sighting of a large Zombie Group somewhere, those large Mercenary Corps would tackle it, a different business from these smaller teams.
Upon hearing this, Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye came to understand.
When other people saw them, due to the prominence of the vehicle Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye were in, they couldn’t help but take a few extra looks, curious about who might be inside. To save fuel, everyone would either drive small trucks like Wan Lin’s or large trailers, carrying dozens or hundreds of people at a time. Those with vehicles like Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye were from the Base who were Advanced superpower users.
However, Advanced superpower users would either oversee things from within the Base or lead teams out on missions to hunt zombies. On seeing Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin, they didn’t quite fit the profile; after all, there were two regular sedans following them, which didn’t resemble the kind of teams an Advanced superpower user would take on a mission.
With varied thoughts, many astute individuals guessed that Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin were from outside, inherently curious while speculating whether the individuals in the vehicle were very capable.
After all, considering the long journey, outsiders wishing to arrive either had to travel with large groups or possess significant strength.
With only three vehicles and the leading one looking most conspicuous, those people couldn’t help but wonder.
With this speculation, many harbored intentions of currying favor. Advanced superpower users were hard to come by; these small teams had ordinary abilities, and they couldn’t as much as meet the Advanced superpower users from the Base, let alone see them from afar.
Now that new people had arrived, how could they not seize such an opportunity? Even if Advanced superpower users seemed to have little now, once in the Base, they could thrive!
By establishing a good relationship now, they might receive care and favors in the future!
Such opportunities were rare!
However, as Bai Ye and the others continued driving toward the Base without stopping, even those tempted were apprehensive about possibly angering these Advanced superpower users with an impulsive approach. Instead of gaining favor, they might instigate dislike, which would be unfortunate.
With such concerns, few dared to step forward.
But just then, someone recognized a member of Wan Lin’s team. Their eyes lit up, and from a distance, they waved enthusiastically and called out, "Wang Fei! Why are you heading back so early? Looks like you’ve had a good haul, eh?"
