Chapter 671: Chapter 173: I’m Not a Fool, I Will Coax You_2

Brother Tiger alone would have been enough.

However... as expected, accidents tend to happen when you least expect them.

The very Wei Hu who just had a tight grip on Gao Bo’s throat was now hoisted up by his neck with one hand by his opponent.

"I was talking to you about fitness, yet you chose to harm me. If it weren’t for my consistent fitness routine and decent physique, I really might have fallen to your hands," Gao Bo said.

As soon as he had finished speaking,

Gao Bo violently slammed Wei Hu onto the ground with a loud bang. The bus shook, leaving the nearby survivors wide-eyed and speechless, staring as if they had seen a ghost.

Even Wei Hu was dumbfounded, engulfed in severe pain that made him somewhat unwilling to believe what had just happened.

He was a strength Awakener, after all. Never mind fitness enthusiasts, even professional weightlifters couldn’t match his strength. Could it be... this guy was also an Awakener?

Gao Bo raised his hand and delivered a slap to each of the stupefied survivors in the bus.

"Big brother, don’t hit us, we have nothing to do with this," they pleaded.

"Ah, help!"

The cries of agony were relentless.

Gao Bo looked at them coldly and said, "Mr. Lin is such a friendly person, offering considerable care to survivors in this apocalyptic world. The fact that he wants to personally send you to Officer Huang speaks volumes. Sparing the details, you guys are definitely not good news."

He had known all along that this group was problematic.

He was just playing along out of boredom.

And to take advantage of them. When boarding the bus, he had observed the people there; the burly, dark figure was likely the boss.

He deliberately sat in front of him, enticing the other to make a mistake. This kind of entrapment was quite domineering.

Gao Bo’s clasped fist creaked as he looked at Wei Hu with a smile.

"Your strength is impressive. You must be a strength Awakener. Just perfect for a little game," he said.

...

"Don’t you have any direct means of contact with Zhou Peng?" asked Lin Fan, clearly surprised.

Tan Qing replied, "No, it’s always been him finding us. We only know his base is in Salt City, but we’re not too clear on the exact location."

As he said this, even Tan Qing seemed a bit bewildered, clearly sensing something was off.

Zhou Peng had visited them a few times.

Under normal circumstances, they would certainly know the specific location.

But during these meetings, Zhou Peng never said, and they never asked. They only knew it was in Salt City, and as to where in Salt City, honestly, they had no idea.

"That’s a pity."

Lin Fan truly regretted it. He was passing by and wanted to have a look, but unfortunately, he didn’t even know the exact location of the other party. Although he knew it was in Salt City, the area was quite large. Finding the shelter there would take some time.

If he had more time, he could find it slowly but surely.

Tan Qing said, "The next time he comes, I’ll ask him clearly. But, Mr. Lin, do you think he might be a problem?"

Lin Fan replied, "Without having seen the person, I truly don’t know. Trust your own eyes and what you see."

At that moment,

Not far from Xiangshan Base,

a sedan was driving towards them.

Zhou Peng drove alone, not transporting materials or doing anything else, just coming here in his free time to build relations with the people of Xiangshan Base.

Despite not having that face on his back, the Corpse God still took good care of him.

The sight before him was protected by unknown zombies.

To prevent harm from other zombies.

The only thing bothering him was his connection with Sunshine Shelter in Salt City; that man actually wanted to meet with him, and it worried him.

But what good was worry? He couldn’t just vanish out of the blue. He had to make his presence known to the people inside Xiangshan Base; they were all shrewd individuals.

If he suddenly stopped coming, they might start to doubt him.

And once doubt set in, dispelling it would be quite difficult.

He also believed in the Corpse God’s abilities. It had helped him remove the face behind him. He was just an ordinary person with no connections to zombies. Even if that Lin Fan from Salt City was really strong, he couldn’t possibly claim that I had anything to do with zombies.

Zhou Peng hummed an unknown tune as he cheerfully drove along.

He only wanted to lure more Awakeners to the Corpse God, and he must not seem to be linked to them. During this time, he had thought of a very reliable strategy.

It was to find out when they were going out, where they planned to go, allow the Corpse God to prepare in advance, and then unleash a zombie attack. When they were collecting resources, he could simply take care of them.

This method, in his view, was the best.

Nobody would suspect his involvement.

In fact, in the beginning, there was none of this trouble. It was only because Xiangshan Base had connections with Lin Fan of Salt City. Without it, the Corpse God would have acted long ago, not waiting until now.

As he approached,

Zhou Peng curiously noted the parked bus at the entrance, wondering why a bus would be parked there all of a sudden. He looked closely and through the bus windows, he could see people inside.

He spotted Gao Bo among those inside the bus.

Gao Bo also saw Zhou Peng approaching and greeted him with a smile.

Zhou Peng returned the smile.

Suddenly,

Zhou Peng’s expression shifted subtly. Could it be that they were preparing to go out to collect resources? But he had just delivered a supply run.

Why would they need to go out again?

Or was it because there were so many survivors living here that frequent outings were necessary?
