Long Yubai sat in the RV and asked, “How far are we from Sea City?”

Lin Ruifeng, the vice-leader who was sitting in the front seat, turned back to answer his question, “About sixty miles… We should be arriving in less than two hours.”

If the roads were all in good condition, it surely wouldn’t need two hours. However, the road was filled with pieces of broken buildings and abandoned vehicles. On such a road full of obstacles, the driving speed would be slowed down greatly.

“Haven’t we heard from those people yet?” Long Yubai asked blandly.

Lin Ruifeng responded, “The people we sent to Sea City should have found something out. We’ll know when we get there.”

Lin Ruifeng nodded and said, “West Lake District, Upper City District, and Lower City District are all forbidden areas. We need to avoid those areas. West Lake District has a large area of mountains and forests, and there’s a zoo. I think all the animals there have mutated and run out. So, we should avoid that area as well.”

Two hours later, they arrived at Sea City, but didn’t enter Sea City Base. Instead, they stopped about five miles away from the base.

“Ah, so the Sea City Base is pretty busy lately. They got rid of a leader. Can the remaining two leaders control so many people in that base?” Long Yubai asked with surprise after hearing the latest information brought back by his men.

Lin Ruifeng responded while thinking, “There are two deputy chiefs under each leader, and tens of administrators under each deputy chief. I guess a large group of people has been taken out along with that leader. But, I heard that the Sea City Base stayed in order even when those people were erased.”

Long Yubai mentioned another thing, “What I care about more at the moment is the fact that Lin Feng and his people actually want to build a new base. Are you sure that’s not a joke?”

He wore a sarcastic smile when he said that. Clearly, he didn’t believe it.

“I have confirmed that news a couple of times… It is real. I heard that Chief Wu from Sea City Base has been strongly supporting them, and helping them with the manpower. I also heard that they have been making tempting offers to hire,” said Lin Ruifeng.

Long Yubai’s eyes glowed. What he heard had aroused his interest. “Eh? So, how many people have they hired from Sea City Base? What do they pay with?”

Lin Ruifeng replied, “Currently, two batches of people have followed them to their new base site, nearly eight-hundred people in total. I heard that they pay them with rice, flour, and other foods. They also cover the accommodations and meals.”

Long Yubai paused briefly, then laughed, “Rice? Um, where did they find so much rice to pay those workers? Covering accommodation and one meal per day sounds reasonable, but three meals per day? Is this a joke?”

Lin Ruifeng thought for a moment, then said, “The payment for that job is guaranteed by Chief Wu from Sea City Base. I don’t think he’d lie to the people in his base.”

As a leader of a base which was populated over a million, he did not have reason to lie to his people.

Long Yubai frowned slightly. His watery eyes glowed with a cold light as he stared at Lin Ruifeng and said, “Are you saying that, that is true? Did Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing ask Sea City Base for help, and borrow people from them? What did they offer in exchange?”

Lin Ruifeng responded while reading the files in his hands, “Lin Feng and his people did make some kind of offer and start cooperation with Wu Chengyue. The weird thing is, Wu Chengyue nicely granted their requests on their very first cooperation. That is weird indeed. Also, Yuan Tianxing and his people have been posting their recruitment advertising in the Mission Hall with the other jobs. At first, nobody believed it, but after the first two batches of people left, the others were tempted too.”

Long Yubai’s pretty face wore no expression. He slightly dropped his eyelids, hid his eyes behind his long eye-lashes. No one knew what he was thinking.

Lin Ruifeng lowered his head to read the files. He didn’t notice the look on Long Yubai’s face, but continued, “We haven’t located their new base yet. I heard that it’s located in a rather secret place. Some people who had inside information said that it’s in Hangzhou City.”

Long Yubai raised his head expressionlessly. A strange beam of light flashed across his eyes as he said, “Find it. We came all the way here to find them. No matter what they’re doing now, I’ll stop them and leave them no chance to continue.”

Lin Ruifeng nodded and replied, “Yes, Sir. What are we going to do next then? Are we going to enter Sea City Base and take a look?”

He thought that Long Yubai would want to go into the base. After all, staying in the base was better than living in the vehicle out there.

Long Yubai didn’t answer his question, but asked a new one, “Have you found anything about that leader of Sea City Base yet?”

Lin Ruifeng puzzled for a moment, then understood his meaning and responded with, “Ah, yeah. He’s not in the base right now. He went out to collect supplies. It’s November already, and it’s getting cold. The winter is coming soon, so I guess he needs to do some preparations to make sure that the commoners in his base can get through the winter.”

Long Yubai nodded, then glanced at the gray sky and said blandly, “Yeah, it’s getting cold already. The daytime is still warm, but once the sun goes down, the temperature will drop drastically. Even if they don’t have enough food, they need to prepare some clothes and quilts to protect their people from the cold.”

Reasonably, the leaders of every base needed to worry about those problems. However, Long Yubai didn’t care about those things. He didn’t need to do those works, as the few deputy chiefs in his base would handle them well.

Even if they couldn’t handle it well, he still wouldn’t care. He never cared about the lives of commoners. He believed that the people who weren’t capable enough to survive in the post-apocalyptic world would die sooner or later. The earlier they died, the earlier they would be free.

Lin Ruifeng understood that in fact, Long Yubai didn’t care about the lives of the commoners in Earth Dragon Base, so he didn’t care about those people either. On the contrary, he had been seeing those people who weren’t able to go out of the base and hunt zombies as pure burdens.

He said, “Yes. So Wu Chengyue left with his troop half a month ago, and hasn’t returned yet.”

“Do you know which direction he took?” Long Yubai asked curiously.

Lin Ruifeng shook his head and said, “Their actions have always been confidential. We need to spend more time to find out.”

Long Yubai nodded and said, “Alright. I’ll give you one more day. Tomorrow at this time, I need to know the whereabouts of Yuan Tianxing and his friends, and Wu Chengyue.”

“Yes, Sir,” Lin Ruifeng nodded.

Long Yubai raised his head, gazed straight into the sky. His watery eyes sparkled. No one knew what he was really looking at.

Lin Ruifeng turned to him and saw his delicate side face. He had a pointy chin. His neck showed a beautiful line as his head was raised.

Lin Ruifeng swallowed his saliva. He silently watched Long Yubai for a few seconds, then forced himself to turn his head away.

A cold light shone in his eyes.

Long Yubai had been radiating a vibe that was tempting to all men all day long. However, Lin Ruifeng didn’t want that to happen now.
