Chapter 792: The Most Ideal State
Chapter 792: Chapter 792: The Most Ideal State
"The soil here is better than anywhere else."
Captain Zhang held a handful of yellow dirt in his palm, the moisture was just right, with no impurities.
Bai Yifan could even smell a faint earthy scent.
"Yes, indeed, it’s good. It will definitely make crops grow fast!"
Bai Yifan immediately thought of the land in his sister’s secret space.
The soil there was similar to this, but he still felt that the soil in the space was slightly better.
Anything planted in the space would grow quickly, and the crops produced were better in appearance than those outside.
"Planting crops here would be a waste; this soil can nurture mutated plants, providing a strong support for a base and greatly enhancing the abilities of Wood Ability Users."
Captain Zhang rubbed the soil on the ground, poured it back, and then dug elsewhere again.
Each time he dug out soil, he would feel it in his hand, then continue to dig dirt from other places.
"So, Brother Zhang, are you planning to move this place back to the Alliance?"
Bai Yifan blinked.
He thought Captain Zhang had the capability to do so.
"Some things, even if achievable, shouldn’t be done as they could have immeasurable consequences."
Captain Zhang shook his head.
The rimless glasses slightly slid down, as his fingers were smeared with soil, he could only push the frames up with the back of his hand.
Even as a middle-aged man, he looked youthful and dashing, and the soil didn’t cover up his entire aura.
Captain Zhang kept digging soil on the ground, with not a speck of dirt on his clothes, he still looked as tidy as when they first met.
"Brother Zhang, there’s something I’m not sure I should mention."
Rubbing his eyes, Bai Yifan mimicked Captain Zhang by digging a pit on the ground, rubbing the soil in his hands.
He couldn’t feel any difference, it was just wet soil.
"What is it?"
Captain Zhang still maintained a gentle smile, giving off a sense of spring breeze warmth.
Even Bai Yifan, a young man, found the middle-aged Captain Zhang exceedingly sunny and handsome.
Bai Yifan sneakily glanced at his own forty-something oily father, and then at the seemingly not oily but clearly middle-aged Base Commander.
He quietly nodded.
Indeed, time is a cruel butcher’s knife.
This knife may not touch Captain Zhang because he eats less...
"We’ve heard something, but we’re not here to curse you." Bai Yifan emphasized this first, then continued, "My sister has an old classmate called Fang Yuanyuan, her father is with the Alliance, and I heard them say, Brother Zhang, you have been..."
Bai Yifan wasn’t a narrow-minded person, Fang Yuanyuan hadn’t offended him either, his purpose in asking Captain Zhang wasn’t to make trouble for them.
He just wanted to know Captain Zhang’s thoughts on zombies.
The use of such large-scale destructive weapons was dangerous; he was really afraid that Captain Zhang would succeed Fang Jin.
He wanted to live a little longer!
Moreover, he had quite a good relationship with Zhang Yiming and Fan Tangtang, asking shouldn’t have much impact.
"Just a minor injury. Secretary Fang and Xiao Li spread rumors and acted on their own; they have been relieved of their duties in the Alliance and are banned for life from entering the Alliance."
Captain Zhang still had a smile on his face, without much emotional fluctuation.
Secretary Fang’s actions were overly radical, focusing solely on his own future without considering the survivors; such a person does not deserve a high position in the Alliance.
As for Xiao Li, having already become a Zombie King, Captain Zhang didn’t openly confront Zhang Yiming but likewise wouldn’t choose to allow Xiao Li into the Alliance.
The Alliance was a coalition of human survivors and could not be infiltrated by zombies.
Of course, he actually had a slight favorable impression of the Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming.
In the future, as he saw it, even if they killed the Zombie Emperor Zhang Yiming, a new Zombie Emperor would still arise.
Among the zombie population, the sole Zombie Emperor represented the most brutal existence.
For humans, having such a savage Zombie Emperor lead the zombie horde was very unfortunate.
But Zhang Yiming was the only High Rank Zombie capable of restraining his instincts, moreover, an Emperor among zombies.
Such a "soft-hearted and kind" Zombie Emperor, who was very close to humans, was incredibly lucky for humanity.
Of course, unexpected situations could occur.
If that little girl Bai Xiqin were to die, that guy would go mad, and humanity would have to face a catastrophe again.
For now, the most ideal situation was for Zhang Yiming to lead the zombie horde, Bai Xiqin to be alive, and for humans and zombies to coexist without conflict.
Captain Zhang knew his strength was formidable, but exterminating tens of billions of zombies worldwide was impossible.
Moreover, it’s impossible to completely eliminate the zombie marine life in the seas.
Zombies on land and humans could actually be seen as terrestrial creatures; terrestrial creatures and marine creatures would face off eventually.
When the zombie marine creatures haven’t disappeared, zombie animals and zombies must coexist on land.
"Brother Zhang, you act really quickly!"
Bai Yifan was slightly shocked seeing the calm and composed Captain Zhang.
Xiao Li and the others hadn’t left Yunhua Safety Base for long, probably not yet reaching the Alliance, but Captain Zhang had already decided their fate.
Bai Yifan thought of Zombie King Xiao Li, and his heart felt heavy.
Brother Zhang (Zhang Yiming) turned Xiao Li into a Zombie King to infiltrate the Alliance, but it ended before it even began.
"The Alliance exists for humanity."
Captain Zhang’s expression turned slightly serious when he said this.
"Yes, hopefully, we can develop a cure for the zombie virus, and then no one will fear it anymore."
Bai Yifan saw the resolute determination in Captain Zhang’s eyes.
He had seldom seen such determined eyes.
The vast majority of humans on Earth had turned into zombies, the remaining survivors living in the cracks.
Initially, everyone waited for rescue, believing the world would quickly return to peace.
Later, to live on, they had to rely only on themselves; trusting others was less safe than trusting oneself.
Seeing Captain Zhang’s actions and demeanor, Bai Yifan felt that if anyone could save the world, it might be someone like Captain Zhang!
"Xiao Leng, that in your hand... could it be a Fusang Tree?"
Zhong Beihai’s excited voice rang out.
Bai Yifan looked towards the direction of Zhong Beihai’s voice and saw a man in his nineties, spry as ever, rushing towards Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai.
Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai walked side by side, with Leng Yebai carrying a small, robust sapling in his hand.
Bai Yifan recognized the small sapling; it was the worst-growing Fusang tree sapling in the space, grafted from the large Fusang tree.
Many were better than this Fusang tree sapling; his sister had chosen the least impressive one.
Not only was Zhong Beihai excited, but also the six powerhouses and the Bai Family.
The Bai Family was faking it as they didn’t want to expose Bai Xiqin’s space, trying hard to display their acting skills.
Old Man Bai Zhengxuan had tears in his eyes, Liu Jing’s hands trembled as she wanted to touch but didn’t dare, Bai Anhai’s eyes widened, and Wang Yiyun almost jumped up...
Each one of them was a drama king or queen.
"Wow, my sister is that amazing? She actually found the legendary Fusang Tree!"
Bai Yifan exaggeratedly jumped up,
"Let’s go, Brother Zhang, let’s check it out!"
Captain Zhang looked at the Bai Family’s antics, and his fair and gentle face twitched hard.
One after another, their acting was rather clumsy.
