Chapter 574: 312 Someone is coming!_2

Once, Qiu Yiming was like this, and now Bai Ye is the same. The only thing Fang Yuyang felt fortunate about was that Bai Ye always seemed more pleasing to the eye than Qiu Yiming, and his conduct also appeared better than Qiu Yiming’s. Even more joyously, his precious sister wasn’t blind and wasn’t single-mindedly hooked on that crooked tree Qiu Yiming!

It seemed that when they were about to leave, the people who had arrived seemed a bit anxious and even hastened their pace towards them, eventually stopping nearby. Curiously, they asked, "Yo! This looks quite intense here, you all okay?"

Bai Ye pulled Fang Yuxin into the car and, without any courtesy, slammed the car door shut, completely ignoring the man’s question. The man was a Second-level Superpower User and seemed to be the leader of this Corpse Hunting Team. He probably wasn’t used to being ignored like this, and his face immediately darkened, looking very ugly.

However, Chen Si had better people skills and skillfully dodged the heavy topics, saying lightly, "Fine, how about you? Are you also here to kill zombies?"

Someone responded, and the leader’s expression finally improved a bit. However, he didn’t think highly of Chen Si because Chen Si clearly looked like someone else’s underling; the real boss was Bai Ye who had just boarded the vehicle. He felt that being a leader himself and a Second-level Superpower User, only Bai Ye was qualified to talk to him. What did Chen Si count for?

Unfortunately for him, Bai Ye really wasn’t giving face. Unwilling to be ignored by Bai Ye again, he compromised and struck up a conversation with Chen Si, "We just came to see if there were any zombies here, planning to kill them if there were any. We didn’t expect you all would beat us to it. By the way, I heard that the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps have been active around here, did you come across them?"

"Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps?" Chen Si went pale with fright, then let out a long sigh before speaking with a relieved expression, "Luckily, we didn’t encounter them. If we had, it would’ve been bad news!"

The sincerity in his face didn’t seem feigned at all, making the leader feel slightly uneasy. Uncertain whether Chen Si was lying, he pressed further, "You really didn’t encounter them? You guys are quite lucky, aren’t you?"

Chen Si still wore that relieved look, nodding with a fortunate expression, "Yes, lucky we didn’t. If we had, it would’ve been terrible. We’re only a small group, no match for them!"

The Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps were infamous, and many people in Beishi Base were extremely wary of them. Unfortunately, everyone only knew them by name and had never seen them in person. Anyone who had seen them was either dead beyond dead, languishing in agony at the Secret Research Institute, or, like Bai Yi, a behind-the-scenes mastermind. No one else had actually seen them!

Hence, even though the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps were infamous, no one could catch them. People could only pray not to have the misfortune of encountering them and dying by their hands. After hearing Chen Si’s words, the leader grew even more uncertain.

Surveying the scene, he noticed that Chen Si’s group indeed did not have many people—perhaps twenty-odd, and the strongest among them was only Second-level with some being Level 1 Superpower Users. It seemed impossible for them to be a match for the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps.

Nonetheless, he was acting on orders and, despite feeling it unlikely, he still planned to detain these people. Unfortunately, just as he was about to ask them to stay, Chen Si already waved goodbye: "We have to head back now, you continue."

The leader hurriedly said, "Hey, wait! Don’t leave! Look, it’s still so early and some time before nightfall, why leave so early?"

Chen Si sighed heavily, with a dejected expression, "We were out on a mission, and just finished it by the skin of our teeth; we’re nearly dead from exhaustion and really don’t want to stay outside any longer. Good luck to you, we’re leaving first." With that, he didn’t give the leader a chance to respond, leaping into the vehicle and shutting the door.

However, he wasn’t as extreme as Bai Ye; the car window was still down, and he even waved at the leader. Then, the vehicle swiftly drove off, leaving a trail of exhaust fumes.

The leader was so taken aback and slow to react that the group was already far away. The others came over, somewhat anxiously asking, "What do we do? They all left?"

The leader’s expression changed, glanced at the surrounding destruction, and ordered while waving, "Everyone, get out! Check around for any traces left behind."

He said this, and someone couldn’t help but ask, "Leader, you don’t think the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps were really here, do you? If they haven’t left yet, isn’t it very dangerous for us to stay here? What if we encounter them..."

Speaking of which, Bai Yi, after Bai Ye hung up the call, had instructed his people to intentionally lead a Corpse Hunting Team here, providing them with some information to check if the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps had indeed appeared in this area. Should any clues be found, there would naturally be a substantial reward.

The fact that the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps had sided with Bai Yi was very secretive; even within the Bai Family’s Direct Lineage, only a few people, including Bai Yi’s father and the patriarch Bai Zhengyi, were aware. Worried about the safety of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps and fearful of being associated with the infamous corps and suffering a damaged reputation, Bai Yi dared not send his own people to search nor let others know of his relation with the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps.

Therefore, the Corpse Hunting Team’s crew was clueless, believing they were just following a directive from above to find clues on the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps and eradicate this menace! Previously, with Bai Ye and others present, they had some courage, but now that Bai Ye and others had left, the mere thought of the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps possibly being nearby frightened them, making them wish to quickly leave this cursed place.
