Chapter 673: 362 Probing

Not only had Fang Yuxin noticed the issue with the Mutated Falcon, but Bai Zhengli and many others had as well. Everyone felt that the Mutated Falcon did not seem wild but rather like it was raised by someone. Or to put it another way, it might be someone’s Contracted Beast.

Realizing this, Bai Zhengli felt both anticipation and nervousness. The Mutated Falcon seemed to have come specifically to scout the situation, and though it had left, the news of their appearance had likely been relayed back to its master.

So, what would the other party do?

Bai Zhengli hoped to encounter a rational person, with whom he could inquire about the situation in Long Province. However, if the other party had malicious intentions, a fierce battle would be inevitable soon! He did not fear fighting zombies and mutated creatures, but the idea of fighting other survivors worried him the most—not because he feared defeat but because he felt it was unnecessary.

At this critical juncture of the apocalypse, the remaining human population was already small. If they failed to unite and only focused on scheming against each other, there would be no need for zombies and mutated creatures to intervene; humanity would destroy itself. He was unwilling to engage in fratricide, otherwise, he would not have left the relatively safe Beishi Base and traveled all the way to Long Province seeking opportunities.

Since sensing something was amiss, Bai Zhengli had been waiting for the other party to appear. Unfortunately, after a long wait, they still hadn’t shown up, perhaps deterred by the size of his team.

As time passed second by second, just when Bai Zhengli was about to give up hope, an SUV suddenly approached from a distance. Oddly, the vehicle was followed by a group of Mutant Beasts, including ferocious types like wolves, lions, tigers, leopards, and even an elephant! Above the vehicle, there was a flock of birds, led by the same falcon, followed by a colorful assortment of parrots. It was indeed bizarre.

As the vehicle drew nearer, Bai Zhengli ordered a halt and used the walkie-talkie to alert others to be on guard. Despite the small size of the opposing team, which hardly posed a threat to them, Bai Zhengli remained extremely cautious.

The SUV came closer, but probably because the other party was also cautious, it stopped about two hundred meters from Bai Zhengli’s convoy. Then, a car window suddenly opened, and a megaphone stretched out. A man’s voice asked, "Who are you, and what is your purpose here?"

Bai Zhengli hesitated for a moment before responding through his megaphone, "We are survivors from afar, seeking a safe base to settle down. We mean no harm."

He was now a Third-level Superpower User and could have used his superpower to project his voice over. But since their convoy was already large and numerous, displaying the capabilities of a Third-level Superpower User might make the other side even more cautious.

Soon, the other party’s voice sounded again, "Where are you from, and how many are you?" Clearly, the person was very wary.

Although Bai Zhengli had no intention to conceal, he also did not want to be too forthcoming. He said, "There are over four thousand of us, from Beishi Base. The base there is too small and there are too many survivors. There isn’t enough food. So we came to Long Province hoping to find a way to survive."

Inside the SUV, a young man turned to look at a woman beside him. She was quite attractive, with delicate features that were not particularly exquisite but coalesced into a pleasant appearance, especially her fair and tender skin, complemented by tidy short hair, making her quite stylish. She seemed to be around twenty-five or twenty-six, dressed in a digital camouflage canvas jacket which made her look quite dashing.

The young man looked at her, a fleeting obsession flashing in his eyes, then he asked worriedly, "Ah Ke, what should we do? They have a significant number of people, and since they’ve traveled all the way from Beishi City to Long Province, they must be formidable. I’m afraid they might be out of our control."

The woman, named Wu Ke, was a veterinarian before the apocalypse. Perhaps it was her exposure to animals, but after the apocalypse, she had Awakened to become a "Special Familiarity" superpower user. She could communicate with mutated animals and had a strong affinity, allowing her to successfully contract many mutated creatures.
