The Northern Alliance did not stop there. Under Xu Xin's lead, they continued to march forward. However, there were many deserters and skirmishes along the way. In just a few days, the Northern Alliance had been reduced to fifty thousand men.
After three days of travel, the team arrived at their next destination, Wen Bin Base, at dawn.
The Wen Bin Base was one of the few mid-sized bases that had a well-preserved military force. Its leader was Lieutenant General Sun Wen Bin, who was also a high-ranking Homo Evolutis.
Xu Xin, who was exhausted from the constant disturbances along the way, walked forward and met up with Sun Wenbin, who was already waiting at the gate.
"Grand Elder Xu!
I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time! "Sun Wenbin excitedly extended his hand.
Xu Xin's bloodshot eyes revealed a hint of impatience. After a simple handshake with Sun Wenbin, he said, "Let's cut to the chase. Have you prepared the accommodations?"
Sun Wenbin's expression was a little awkward: "Senior Elder, it's like this. Although Wenbin Base is not a small medium-sized base, there have been too many survivors over the past few years. The base hasn't been expanded, so the living quarters …"
"Hmm?"
Xu Xin immediately frowned. "These orders have been issued in Shangjing for many days. Don't tell me that they are not prepared!"
"Ready, ready."
Sun Wenbin hurriedly said, "But no matter how much we prepare, there won't be much space. I can't just chase all the survivors out, right?"
Xu Xin's eyes were cold. "Then what do you mean?"
"It's like this."
Sun Wenbin rubbed his hands and said, "A hundred thousand people definitely won't be able to squeeze in. Our base only has enough space for thirty thousand people. The conditions are a little crude. There are no houses, only tents. Do you think this is feasible?
Of course, for VIPs like you and other high-level new humans in the Alliance Army, we can still provide the VIP treatment of about a thousand people. "
Xu Xin's frown deepened. "Are you saying that I have 50,000 people here squeezed into a place that can only accommodate 30,000 people?
Bad conditions? "
Sun Wenbin's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "It's not bad, just a little crude."
"Heh!"
Xu Xin sneered. "Forget it. I never thought that your small base could provide any good conditions. If it's simple, so be it. Anyway, I'll leave after one day."
"Yes, yes." Sun Wenbin heaved a long sigh.
But then, Xu Xin asked again, "How's the preparation of the resources?
In addition, how many soldiers can your Wenbin Base send out in this war? "
Half of the Northern Alliance Army that had gathered along the way from Shangjing had been lost after Chu Han's information was released. There were only 50,000 soldiers left, which made Xu Xin anxious to increase the number of soldiers.
Sun Wenbin's face had a trace of awkwardness as he replied, "Unfortunately, a few days ago, a large number of zombies suddenly appeared in the western city. There were hundreds of thousands of them!
In order to avoid a zombie wave attack, all the soldiers in Wen Bin Base have gone to the west to fight against the zombies. I'm afraid … "
Xu Xin's expression immediately turned cold. After taking a deep look at Sun Wenbin, he strode into the base without saying a word. A large number of troops followed behind him. Those with high positions were still fine as they could finally have a good day's rest. However, the other 50,000 people did not have a good time. Not only did they have to camp in a small area, most of them did not even have tents and had to sleep on the ground.
This treatment was not simple at all. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was bad. It was almost the same as being a refugee!
At noon of the same day, the 50,000 people were finally settled. Xu Xin and the others went to rest.
In Sun Wenbin's house, a few of the Wenbin Base's higher-ups had gathered and were having a small secret meeting.
"Leader."
One person said in a low voice, "Is it really okay for us to hide the 8,000 people in Wen Bin Base?"
"That's right. This place is not big. If Xu Xin wants to find them, it's not like he can't find them. What if they are really curious and want to go to the west to see the zombies?"
"There is no such thing as a zombie wave!
After the big battle, the zombies are like water receding. They haven't appeared for a long time. At most, there were only 1,000 of them. "
"Leader, what are you thinking? A few days ago, weren't you all prepared to go to the south to fight?"
Sun Wenbin smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It's different from the past!
Don't you all look at the current situation? "
"Isn't it just that Chu Han is not dead?"
Some people could not understand and said, "That Chu Han is not a demon. Just the news that he is not dead can scare you to this extent?
All of a sudden, our rhythm is in chaos. Not to mention the hasty plan, the survivors in the base are very talkative. If we are not careful, the news will leak out. What if Xu Xin hears something?
They brought fifty thousand people with them! "
Sun Wenbin did not speak, but his adjutant, Liu Rui, calmly said, "It's not the news that Chu Han is still alive that frightens us. It's the series of effects brought about by his survival. It's enough to show the probability of victory in this war."
"Adjutant Liu, what do you mean?"
Liu Rui laughed, "The news that Chu Han is not dead has only been out for 3 days. In these 3 days, let's not talk about the panic in the north. Just look at the Northern Alliance. Out of the 100,000 people, how many of them are left?"
Someone was stunned and said, "50,000."
"That's right!
50,000! "
Liu Rui sighed and said, "In 3 days, they lost 50,000 people. Isn't Chu Han's influence big enough?
Just the news that he is not dead, and we don't even know if he is injured or disabled. We don't even know where he is. Yet, it caused such a huge uproar in the north!
It's terrifying! "
Someone shook his head. "But although the number of bases has been reduced by 50,000, this batch of Alliance Army will continue to be joined by new people after passing through so many bases. Not all bases will hide people like us and not send troops!"
"Yes, different bases will make different choices."
Liu Rui's eyes sharpened. "But I know that anyone who can see the situation clearly will hold back. Do you think the other bases won't hear the news if we don't send troops?
What would the other bases do after hearing the news?
Some will send troops, and some won't. Maybe the Northern Alliance can gather 100,000 people when they reach the border, but I'm sure that their morale is low. "
At this point, Sun Wenbin's gaze turned resolute. "They've already lost without even fighting. Even they are afraid. How can they win against the Southern Alliance's morale?
The leaders of the six bases that are allied with Wolf's Fang are all talented people. Their beliefs have never changed! "
"Not to mention, Commander Mu and Luo Ming are in Wolf's Fang …" Liu Rui added slowly, silencing everyone.
