Chapter 832: Chapter 671, The Secret Speaker of Death (One update today.)_2 Chapter 832: Chapter 671, The Secret Speaker of Death (One update today.)_2 Zhao Yanqiu's voice then rang out, “Leader, Vice Leader Qi isn't at the base; he's gone out.”
Gone out?
“What for?” Wu Heng asked.
Zhao Yanqiu replied, “I heard there was some problem with the expansion team, and Vice Leader Qi left early this morning to lead a team to deal with it.”
Problem?
Normally, Qi Hancai was responsible for back-end base management and didn't need to go out to handle such matters.
Even if he did go, it wouldn't be much help to the Skeleton Expeditionary Team.
“Come over here.”
“Okay!”
Soon, Zhao Yanqiu ran down from an office building on the side.
It seemed the effect of the Professional Scroll had improved her complexion quite a bit and she even carried a certain air of quality.
She looked even more beautiful than before.
Seeing Wu Heng, her gaze shifted slightly but she still saluted, “Leader.”
“What is Qi Hancai doing out there, do you know the details?” Wu Heng asked directly.
Zhao Yanqiu lowered her head and said, “Before he left, he did mention something to me. He said that a group of survivors had appeared in the area we cleared of zombies and had cordoned it off as their own territory. They're even deliberately obstructing our convoys from passing through. He went out to negotiate about this matter.”
“You mean to say that a group of survivors has established a base in the location we cleared of zombies, right?”
“Yes. The main issue is they've set up checkpoints, and our transport has been blocked,” Zhao Yanqiu emphasized.
Wu Heng was somewhat speechless; such a scenario had actually happened.
The transport team was made up of survivors.
If it were the Skeleton Army, they'd dare to intercept, and the news wouldn't have reached this side before they were wiped out.
He stood in place, pondering for a moment.
His plan for the day was to clear zombies too, to provide upgrades for Glenda.
It was a good chance to go take a look at the situation.
“Prepare a truck; I'll go and check it out,” Wu Heng said.
Zhao Yanqiu nodded, “Okay, I will prepare it right away.”
Before long, a modified van drove up.
Wu Heng summoned a portion of the Skeleton Army where the military was stationed.
Then he sat in the passenger seat of the vehicle.
“Leader,” the driver greeted.
“Let's go, to where Qi Hancai is.”
The vehicle started, taking a large contingent of skeletons, and directly left the base.
Stone Beam Bridge.
In the middle of the bridge, cluttered with derelict cars on both sides, Qi Hancai and another middle-aged man sat in two chairs.
Each had several subordinates standing behind them.
The middle-aged man, dressed in a camo uniform, glanced at Qi Hancai and said, “Those from big bases really are different; even their complexion is better.”
On Qi Hancai's side, Singh, who accompanied her, translated softly.
Qi Hancai spoke directly, “Tell him to cut the crap. This area was cleared by us. Tell them to evacuate and save us potential casualties.”
After hearing this, Singh immediately relayed the message in Korean.
The man on the other side's eyes sharpened, then he chuckled, “This is our country, why does it become your territory just because you cleared it? And I haven't seen you occupying it.”
“We have hundreds of survivors in our base; their saviors weren't your country or you, but us,” Qi Hancai retorted with a cold laugh, then continued, “Considering the hardships survivors face just to live, I'll give you one night. If you haven't left by morning, then there will be no need for you to leave.”
Having said that, Qi Hancai stood up and left.
Singh quickly translated again, sneered at the men, and then followed after Qi Hancai.
The middle-aged man's smile faded, and he frowned, watching their retreating figures, shouting, “Give us two trucks of food, or your convoys won't get through here.”
Qi Hancai and her group did not respond and simply walked further away.
The middle-aged man cursed and also stood to return.
At dusk, inside a building.
Around a dimly lit round table, several people sat.
“They have skeletons with them; if it comes to a real fight, we won't last long.”
“They must be the ones who took over Shanfu Port. It seems they have firearms too. Seriously, only because we are all survivors are we holding back; otherwise, we couldn't stop them.”
The greedy middle-aged man from the day snuffed out his cigarette butt in his mouth.
He stated flat out, “They want us to leave without giving food – we'll starve if we go out; two trucks of food are the bare minimum, I'm doing it for everyone's survival.”
No one spoke, but it was indeed the case.
This area had been cleared of zombies, and they could live decently off the scavenged materials.
If they were driven away, food would become an issue all over again.
Someone sighed, “We shouldn't have stopped their convoy. If we kept to ourselves, they might not have even found us.”
“Who knew it was them?”
As they talked, hurried footsteps came from outside.
Then the door was slammed open, and a figure rushed in, “Their reinforcements have arrived; are they going to kill us?”
As the voice dropped, everyone in the room abruptly stood up.
“What reinforcements? How many?”
“Lots, an endless sight, and there are some flying ones too,” the messenger wiped his sweat, “We're done for.”
“Endless sight? What do you mean?”
“Go see for yourself; we're really done for, truly done for.”
The crowd quickly left the room and looked towards the opposite side of the bridge.
There, the straight road was filled with an endless sea of skeletons, and the sky was covered with flying ones.
Shit, we're really finished.
On Qi Hancai's side.
Wu Heng stepped down from the truck, and Qi Hancai also came over to meet him with her people.
“How did the talk go?”
Qi Hancai shook her head, “It's hard to say; they're difficult to speak with. I gave them one night; if they don't evacuate by morning, I'll have the skeletons attack.”
“What makes them difficult to talk to?”
