Chapter 628: 339 Death Trap_2

As a result, their losses became even smaller.

The small meeting convened by Bai Zhengyi was attended by all the people he had marked for elimination, including those who usually didn’t quite submit to his authority, among whom were Bai Zhengli and Bai Ye. Thus, he planned to use this opportunity to purge his dissenters!

After attending the small meeting, Bai Zhengli and Bai Ye returned home and got busy. Neither of them were fools; they had both seen through Bai Zhengyi’s malicious intentions! However, dangerous as the mission was, it also represented an opportunity to leave Beishi Base and completely sever ties with the Direct Lineage!

Bai Zhengli and Bai Ye’s men had several injured among them. To ensure they’d all march to their deaths, Bai Zhengyi specially dispatched a Second-level Wood Element Superpower User to heal all the injured, and other selected individuals received the same treatment.

Besides Bai Zhengli and Bai Ye, there were three others who didn’t quite submit to Bai Zhengyi, all peak Level 2 Superpower Users, each commanding four to five hundred people. They were no fools either and had seen Bai Zhengyi’s ill-intentions. So, after the meeting, they went home and secretly contacted Bai Zhengli through their Communicators to ask what he planned to do.

Although Bai Zhengli had always been marginalized by Bai Zhengyi, he was, after all, a member of the Bai Family and had served many years in the military. Hence, there were actually quite a few people within the White Wolf Mercenary Corps who respected him, his former subordinates. To suppress him, Bai Zhengyi had distributed these men under others’ command to prevent Bai Zhengli from building his own forces.

This time, Bai Zhengyi wanted him to face certain death, and Bai Zhengli had no reason to be polite anymore. He directly demanded to have all his thousand men returned to him. Bai Zhengyi didn’t want to agree at first, as those thousand were well-trained elite soldiers, and it pained him to lose them just like that!

But Bai Zhengli’s stance was firm this time. If Bai Zhengyi didn’t agree, he would refuse the mission. After some hesitation, Bai Zhengyi eventually agreed. Those thousand men were loyal to Bai Zhengli, as they had been resentful and even dissatisfied when initially moved away from him. If Bai Zhengli died, it was inevitable they would harbor thoughts of unrest, which might lead to greater losses if they caused trouble!

Having reclaimed the thousand men, Bai Zhengli felt a newfound confidence. So, when the three men approached him, he probed and then decided to take them along when the time came. If they were to establish their own base, they definitely needed manpower. Moreover, as survivors, they should naturally unite and overcome the current difficulties together.

These were living people, not psychopaths like Bai Zhengyi and Zhao Qiankun, who could just cold-heartedly send them to their demise!

Bai Zhengyi and Zhao Qiankun had given them only one day to prepare. The following early morning, Beishi Base’s mission center announced jointly by Bai Family’s White Wolf Mercenary Corps and Qiankun Mercenary Group a mission to attack Luyun County, calling on Corpse Hunters to join with generous rewards.

Fang Yuxin’s family learned of this after leaving the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion. Almost every Corpse Hunter in Beishi Base had a Communicator. It allowed them not only to contact others but also to receive various missions from the mission center, which was extremely convenient.

As soon as a new mission was posted at the mission center, its details were sent to every Communicator via text message. Corpse Hunters who were interested could reply directly with the provided code to claim the mission. If successful, they would receive a follow-up message with the gathering instructions; if not, they would be notified by text to enable them to claim another task. It was quite convenient.

Thus, as soon as the mission became available, the Fang Family’s Communicators buzzed with the notification, as did those of other members of the Yongcheng Team. Upon seeing this message, Fang Yuxin felt uneasy. She hurriedly contacted Bai Ye, and as soon as the call connected, she urgently asked, "Bai Ye, what’s this mission to attack Luyun County about?" Luyun County was teeming with zombies, and just one day to prepare was highly abnormal! This wasn’t a mission; it was practically sending people to their deaths!

Bai Ye and the others had one day to prepare before setting off early the next morning. He was about to train the soldiers when Fang Yuxin called, anxious. He explained Bai Zhengyi’s plans succinctly: "Bai Zhengyi is probably looking to take this opportunity to eliminate his rivals. As for Zhao Qiankun, since he posted the mission, he is likely to send some troublemakers as well."

"Those bastards!" Fang Yuxin couldn’t help cursing, then scoffed, "Well then, let’s take this chance to leave Beishi Base!"

That was precisely what Bai Ye intended. Seeing Fang Yuxin so upset, he couldn’t help but share a laugh with her: "Xinxin, don’t be angry. Although Bai Zhengyi is a scoundrel, my father took the opportunity to make a request, demanding back all his former subordinates, adding up to a thousand people, all capable soldiers! I’m just about to train them. With a full day at our disposal, there’s no reason not to make use of it."

Hearing this, Fang Yuxin understood his plan, and her mood instantly improved. She chuckled, "Bai Zhengyi will surely regret this later! Go ahead with your work; I’ll take on the mission, and we’ll leave together."

Bai Ye nodded, as he had other matters to attend to, he didn’t linger on the call. After the conversation ended, Fang Yuxin promptly opened the text message and replied with the code to claim the mission. Soon after sending the code, she received a response. But as she read the content, her expression suddenly changed.
