Chapter 641: 346 Adapt to the situation

Beishi Base was close to Luyun County. Therefore, the road from the base to Luyun County, aside from the lane that only allowed two trucks to pass side by side, had various pits dug alongside it, with landmines buried within. Neither humans nor zombies could pass through them; they could only use the road surface.

Now, their only escape route was blocked by Zhao Qiankun and Bai Yi, who had brought a convoy. They also brought the elite of both the Qiankun Mercenary Corps and the White Wolf Mercenary Corps, who were well-equipped. Once a fight broke out, Bai Ye and his group would definitely be at a disadvantage.

Thus, Bai Ye and Bai Zhengli decided to take a risk and keep moving forward in search of a way out. They had previously studied the route from the base to Luyun County and discovered that only half of the route had pits dug; the other half was left intact due to its proximity to Luyun County, where too many zombies roamed, making it too dangerous to approach. They could leave from a side road.

Of course, this path was fraught with danger, and they were likely to encounter a large zombie group.

With a prompt from Zhao Qiankun, his subordinates suddenly raised their submachine guns, pointing the dark muzzles at Bai Ye and the others, the warning clear. At this moment, no one dared to hold on to the slightest hope of luck, and everyone turned pale.

Cao Kun whispered to Bai Zhengli, "Captain Bai, given the dire situation, I wonder how much gasoline you have prepared. Will it be enough?"

Bai Zhengli glanced at Zhao Qiankun in the distance, nodded slightly toward him, and also lowered his voice, "Don’t worry, we have enough fuel. Get on the bus first, and we’ll talk on the bus."

Cao Kun understood his meaning; if they did not get moving, they might agitate Zhao Qiankun. If that man ordered to fire, not only would they be caught off guard, but the situation would also spiral out of control. By then, it would be hard to know how many would perish.

Although Cao Kun was dissatisfied with Zhao Qiankun’s actions, he did not want to involve other innocent people either. Thus, he nodded, leading his people onto the bus. At the same time, the other leaders exchanged glances, clearly understanding that Zhao Qiankun was forcing them into a deadly trap. If they wanted to survive, they might have to rely on Bai Zhengli, a third-level superpower user.

The zombies they had hunted earlier had already been extracted of their crystal cores, and the bodies had been disposed of cleanly. Once they boarded the bus, they drove forward. As there was only a two-kilometer distance left to Luyun County, everyone dared not drive too fast, fearing they might get caught in a zombie group there and be unable to escape.

All along the way, the leaders communicated via communicators. Since the distance from Beishi Base was not very far, the signals could fully cover, making communication not a problem.

Zhao Qiankun followed from a distance. When he saw Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye both sit in the car, he no longer stayed on the roof of his vehicle but agilely flipped back into the front passenger seat.

The person driving next to him was his confidant, named Yang Bo, who had seen everything play out. While Zhao Qiankun stood on the rooftop holding binoculars, he sat inside, also using the binoculars to watch ahead. The real strength of Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye also greatly surprised him, and he couldn’t help feeling regretful. Fang Yuxin, a second-level Wood Element Superpower User with high combat power, was truly talented, much better than Cheng Lin, who always pretended to be superior. It was indeed a pity not to have him on his side.

At the same time, he was also suspicious. These people did not seem very honest, and he did not believe they would obediently go to Luyun County to die!

Thus, he turned his head toward Zhao Qiankun and asked with concern, "Big brother, something doesn’t quite add up. It seems Bai Zhengli and the others had already made plans. Moreover, Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin, these two, have actually concealed their strength. Our plan might not go smoothly."

Actually, he did not agree with Zhao Qiankun’s approach. To eliminate a few people, sending so many to their death seemed excessive; Zhao Qiankun was perhaps too narrow-minded! But he was just an assistant, and with Zhao Qiankun’s mind made up, he dared not meddle too much. Otherwise, given Zhao Qiankun’s suspicious nature, he might well be the next to die!

Zhao Qiankun’s face darkened, his eyes fixed straight ahead, his thoughts unknown. After a moment of silence following Yang Bo’s words, Zhao Qiankun scoffed, "These people have no gasoline; their vehicles won’t get far, absolutely nowhere to fly! I really want to see how they manage to escape!"
