Chapter 803: Not Laughing Out Loud
Chapter 803: Chapter 803: Not Laughing Out Loud
Captain Zhang’s words instantly silenced the Bai Family.
Chat with Xiao Ming?
Are you sure it’s not a battle?
If it turns into a fight, whom does it count against?
Moreover, how does Captain Zhang know they have a good relationship with Xiao Ming?
Or is Captain Zhang testing them?
In a flash of thought, the Bai Family contemplated many possibilities.
Ultimately, they reached one conclusion: no matter what, they must not admit it; admitting it wouldn’t bring any benefits.
One zombie leader, one alliance leader—what will happen if these two meet?
"What are you talking about, Captain Zhang? Which kid do you want to meet? We don’t seem to know him well; there’s no such person in the Safety Base!"
The Base Commander shook his head with a sincere expression.
Zhang Yiming is indeed not someone within the Safety Base; he’s an external zombie leader.
From this perspective, the Base Commander didn’t lie.
The Base Commander was genuinely afraid that if Captain Zhang and Zhang Yiming met, a fight might destroy the Safety Base!
That’s his home, two leaders fighting would surely blow it up.
"It’s not important whether there is this ’person’; what’s important is that you just need to convey this message to him."
Captain Zhang smirked slightly and began walking down the mountain.
"I’ll be off. If I don’t leave now, it’ll be dark. I must set off back to the Alliance before night falls."
The Base Commander wanted to argue, but Captain Zhang was completely in a ’I won’t listen to you’ state and seemed confident of victory.
The Base Commander nudged Leng Yebai with his only arm.
Leng Yebai glanced at the Base Commander and stayed silent.
He didn’t have any good ideas either.
If worst comes to worst, he’ll just collect Zhang Yiming’s corpse when the time comes!
He might squeeze out a few tears as a gesture and send two blooming white chrysanthemums.
Whether he can squeeze out tears is uncertain, but he definitely won’t laugh out loud.
The Base Commander saw his son’s smirking expression and felt his face twitch hard.
His son hadn’t realized the gravity of the situation.
If those two fight at the Safety Base, their home would be gone!
The Base Commander scratched his head fiercely but could only let Captain Zhang take control.
Alright, he’ll go back and hide the crystal cores he’s been stockpiling first!
The journey down the mountain was exceptionally smooth, the entire mountain range fell silent, and no mutated plants were encountered.
They were all immersed in a state of crazily absorbing energy.
Captain Zhang released energy, bringing great benefits to them.
At the foot of the mountain, the family’s bus still remained where it was, its surface covered with green plants.
Thick roots hadn’t pierced through the bus body nor punctured the fuel tank.
All thanks to Bai Yifan and Uncle Wang occasionally reinforcing the bus body.
"Alright, I’m leaving first."
Just after escorting the Bai Family near the bus and before they could say anything else, a gust of wind blew, and Captain Zhang disappeared with his water bottle.
It was evident that he really had urgent matters.
Captain Zhang possessed Wind Ability, his speed was unparalleled, and his movements were hard to follow with the naked eye.
The Bai Family glanced at each other, unsure of how far Captain Zhang had gone and whether he could hear them, they didn’t discuss anything about Zhang Yiming.
They silently boarded the bus and drove toward Yunhua Safety Base.
The Base Commander was driving.
The black car that the Base Commander had driven over was completely ruined by the plants, so he naturally took a seat in the driver’s position.
He drove more smoothly with one arm than Bai Yifan did.
The bus moved forward, and after some time, voices began to sound inside the bus.
"Could it be prepared for a war with zombies?"
Bai Anhai sat on the sofa, shelling seeds for Wang Yiyun, his brow furrowed deeply.
"We’ve already been at war with zombies for a long time, to the point of no return." Bai Zhengxuan glanced at Bai Xiqin and continued, "But this time, Captain Zhang’s attitude is unclear, his identity is special, meeting Xiao Ming could potentially trigger a great battle."
The Bai Family still believed that Zhang Yiming was a kind Zombie Emperor.
But not everyone can accept the identity of a zombie.
From the beginning, Captain Zhang’s attitude didn’t seem as radical as Fang Jin, and he didn’t display extreme resistance to zombies.
But he is, after all, the chief of the Human Survivor Alliance, his stance is on the side of human survivors.
Zombies and humans are natural enemies.
Their meeting is bound to stir up waves.
"Since Captain Zhang told us directly, he surely knows we are familiar with Xiao Ming. With his ability, even if we don’t mention it, he can find Xiao Ming. Once we go back, we should inform Xiao Ming first!"
Bai Xiqin was also somewhat troubled.
If a fight breaks out, it’s not about choosing sides.
Whether it’s Captain Zhang or Zhang Yiming, the Bai Family can’t beat them; helping either side would be meaningless.
Honestly speaking, Bai Xiqin truly hopes they don’t fight.
For one, Zhang Yiming wasn’t an evil zombie, and the loss of the Human Survivor Alliance’s power because of him wouldn’t be worthwhile.
Secondly, Captain Zhang’s abilities are strong; he’s considered a leader of humanity. If anything happens to him, it would be a loss for all mankind.
But their meeting is inevitable; no one can stop it.
The bride must meet the parents.
Even if they don’t meet now, they’ll meet during the great battle someday.
"I think my big sister is right!"
Bai Yifan swiftly grabbed some shelled sunflower seeds from the table and threw them into his mouth.
Sunflower seeds grown in the space, roasted personally by Bai Zhengxuan, and shelled by Bai Anhai.
Each bite is incredibly fragrant!
"Hope it won’t be a meaningless battle."
Bai Anhai’s fingertips "accidentally" revealed a bit of purple lightning, hitting Bai Yifan.
Bai Yifan exhaled a white puff of smoke, instantly collapsing onto the sofa.
His body was limp, but his mouth was stubborn, still munching on sunflower seeds.
After two hours of driving, the sky started turning dark.
They struggled to drive a short distance before stopping.
Night time in the apocalypse isn’t suitable for driving; the paths are rough, and they might occasionally run over zombie bodies or animal bones.
Despite the urge to return to the base, they had no choice but to wait until dawn to set off again.
They had a simple dinner and then went to sleep on the second level.
The Base Commander lay on the sofa on the first level.
The doors and windows were locked, leaving only a crack for ventilation.
In the hot summer, there’s no need for blankets, and the bus’s central air conditioning was still blowing air.
The Base Commander was covered with a cute little Doraemon blanket, snoring loudly.
After a day of wandering around Ancient Kunlun Mountain, the family was very tired. Soon, everyone entered a dream state.
No one noticed the sky outside was unnaturally dark.
It was pitch black.
At first, there were insect sounds; within a minute, all the insect noises abruptly stopped.
As if someone pressed a pause button.
On the bus, the car glass began to condense a thin layer of frost visibly, the frost increased and nearly froze into ice.
The Base Commander squinted his eyes, wrapping the small blanket tightly, feeling overwhelmingly cold.
Finally, he couldn’t bear the cold anymore, he opened his eyes, and immediately saw the thick frost on the car window beside the sofa.
"What kind of freakish weather is this!"
The Base Commander immediately jumped up from the sofa, hurriedly switching the air conditioning from cooling to heating.
