"Mr. Dao Ming, are you leaving just like that?
Although Qinghong Sect used to have nothing to do with each other, we are all in the same boat now. We have to help each other to get through this difficult time … "
Staring at Dao Ming's straight back, Dan Qingchao tried to persuade him to stay, and Hong Yun also said, "Qinghong Sect has united and unified Shanghai.
"The Qinghong Sect has united three into one and unified Shanghai. There's no need for us to be petty. It's better for the three of us to discuss this together. Things are different now. Mister Daoming can't be alone anymore. If the person above isn't happy, the three of us are nothing. Even if we don't think about the people below us, we have to think about our own lives …"
Their sharp words made Dao Ming hesitate. He turned around and said, "I'm used to being free.
I've handed over the Taoist Palace, and I don't want to get involved in too many things. I can't do anything if that person is unhappy. Shanghai is a dead land now, and I advise you two to make more plans. That person may not have good intentions, and it has nothing to do with me no matter how many people die. However, you have to be cautious when it comes to yourself. Even if that person really has something that can prolong life by ten times, he may not let us get it. Don't trust his promise too much. Don't call me if there's nothing important. I'm leaving … "
Dao Ming was a decisive man, and he left immediately, leaving the two staring at the door where he disappeared. After a while, Hong Yun smiled and turned to Dan Qingchao, suggesting, "Dao Ming doesn't know what's good for him. Why don't we talk to that person and let him suffer a little?
We have to let him understand that unity is power … "
"Humph, if you can betray Dao Ming today, you can betray me tomorrow. Do you really think that person will let you be the only one after killing us?
Wake up, we can't even overcome the current difficulty, so don't think about scheming against each other … "
Dan Qingchao picked up the wine cup and shook it slightly. The scarlet wine swirled around the cup like a soaring dragon, and the red wine flowed freely in the cup, yet not a single drop spilled out. His eyes were fixed on the wine in the cup, and his words were filled with sarcasm and warning. Hong Yun rolled his eyes, cracked a big smile, and said, "Haha, I'm just kidding. By the way, Xue Feng's exclusive puppet was crippled by someone, and all the bones in her body were shattered. It was Jian Zhan, and now Jian Zhan is one of Zhang Xiaoqiang's men. I'm afraid Xue Feng will have to fight them soon. Look at us …"
The wine cup instantly stopped moving, and the red wine in the cup lost its momentum. It collided with each other in the cup, and the red wine splashed out of the mouth of the cup, turning into a few drops of red blood jade that hovered above the wine cup and trembled slightly. Looking at the few drops of red wine, Dan Qingchao shook his head slowly and said, "Let's not get involved in this matter. That brat has a huge python, so it's easy for him to deal with you and me. Xue Feng is that person's confidant, so we can't afford to offend either side. No matter who wins or loses, it has nothing to do with us. Let's think of a way to deal with the things by the sea first."
Upon hearing this, disappointment flashed across Hong Yun's eyes. He raised his hand and rubbed his chin, staring at the few drops of red wine floating in the cup, and said gloomily, "Forget it, we can't call the shots in Shanghai now. Let's just do what that person asked us to do. I don't know why, but I've been feeling a little restless these few days. Is there something wrong that we didn't think of …"
"Drip …"
The red wine splashed as it fell into the wine cup. Dan Qingchao raised his head and stared at Hong Yun, who was in a daze. His lips twitched a little, but he didn't say what he felt. However, he already felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart …
When night fell, Zhang Xiaoqiang sat in the study room after dinner and read the detailed reports sent by his subordinates. These reports gave him the most direct understanding of the development of his forces. The expansion of the Hubei base had come to a halt, and Wuhan was enough to digest for a while. The clean-up of the surrounding cities was also under the command of the Second Division, Ye Gushan, with supplies from the paratroopers and the aircraft division. A large number of scattered survivors were found one after another, and the Hunter Unit also had a lot of kills. The United Front Department of the Hunter Unit was the new department that was developing the fastest in the revival of China. Not counting Yin Meng and Jiangxi, there were tens of thousands of Hunters in the Hubei area alone. Hundreds of thousands of zombies were killed every day, and millions of Revival Coins were distributed every day. However, so far, there were less than ten Hunters who could actually buy the JS substance. After all, not everyone could find the armory or the warehouse of important materials. Once these lucky ones reported the important materials they found, they would receive a huge reward.
It was too difficult to collect a million Revival Coins by killing zombies. Of the nine lucky ones who got the substance, only seven became evolvers. The other two did not escape the 20% chance of failure. Even so, the hunters became more and more fanatical. They only saw the glory of becoming evolvers, but ignored the risks. Therefore, although the Hubei base had stopped expanding, the safe zone was expanding every day. There was almost no place for the zombies near the edge of the safe zone, and they were all killed by the crazy hunters. The other result was that the resources in Hubei were getting more and more abundant. At the same time, the purchase price of various resources continued to drop. The only thing that did not change was the price of zombies.
After Zhang Xiaoqiang found the information of Yasnaya Polyana in the list of recently recovered cities, he suddenly felt dizzy. His heart was beating violently, and the document in his hand felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. His right hand, which could hold a 50-kilogram broadsword, could not help but tremble. After a while, he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled to calm himself down. He put the document aside and ignored it. His mind was thinking about the past. The city that he had grown up in for decades, the melancholy he felt when he left home, and the loneliness and desolation he felt when he walked by the river.
However, this city was no longer a nightmare that he wanted to escape from. Instead, it was one of the many cities under his control. The reluctance to leave had long turned into a faint sense of loss and remembrance. However, his heart was placed in a wider space outside of his home. Even if the city that gave birth to him and raised him was so close to him, he was not tempted to go back and take a look. The otaku in the past had already grown into Zhang Xiaoqiang, who ruled over several provinces. What he lost would never come back again.
Picking up the report from Sichuan, Zhang Xiaoqiang's slightly furrowed brows suddenly relaxed. The communication line from the riverside to the underground city had already been opened. Yue Yang had led the army to clear out the cities around the communication line. Some of the high-level zombies in the cities had also died in the hands of Zhuo Mingyue, who had returned to Sichuan. Zhuo Mingyue originally wanted to live with Zhang Xiaoqiang in Hubei. However, after Zhang Xiaoqiang left home, she returned to Sichuan in a fit of depression. Every day, she would find high-level zombies to vent her anger on, inadvertently making up for the lack of Evolvers in Sichuan. Yue Yang's speed of clearing out the zombies had also increased. The new city, which was located at the center of the communication line, was becoming more and more prosperous under Cui Er's management. Various manufacturing industries had also begun to recover. On the other hand, most of the people in the settlement base where Zhang Xiaoqiang had recuperated had been relocated, leaving only two thousand people there to farm.
Lu Junyi and Hua Rong had now become the firefighter team, rushing around the besieged military points to save the family members of the soldiers who were under the claws of the zombies. Most of these people were garrisoned troops and military personnel. Among them, there were even professionals from various military research centers. With this group of people, the underground city had gradually recovered its military production. The ammunition production line and spare parts manufacturing that were left behind could also provide logistical support for the army. It was precisely this support that allowed them to gradually clear out the safe zones. In the process of clearing out the safe zones, more survivors were found …
The progress in Sichuan was pretty good, which made Zhang Xiaoqiang's mood better. Yue Yang's subordinates were all the elites of the New Era Army. They had fought a stalemate with the underground army for a few months, and they had enough logistical support. Once they got into action, they were able to clear out countless zombies like a hot knife through butter. Yue Yang also knew that his logistical line was in the hands of the underground city. Song Kunhai, who controlled most of the underground city, had been controlling the lifeline of Yue Yang's troops, so he did not dare to make any strange moves. In addition, Zhang Xiaoqiang had continuously sent explorers from Hubei to Sichuan. His control over Sichuan was getting stronger and stronger. Lu Junyi and Hua Rong were not ambitious people, so Hubei's control over Sichuan was getting stronger and stronger.
Just as he was excitedly putting down the report on Sichuan and was about to pick up the report on the Yin Meng region to take a closer look, a violent knock on the door interrupted his excitement. Mo Shaoyun's anxious voice came from outside, "Brother Cockroach, something happened in front …"
