The base wouldn't come to save her, but whether they would seek revenge was unknown.
An Nuan was also considering this question.
The three major bases had dispatched a hundred thousand people for the first time, and they had all been wiped out.
It was uncertain if they would retreat or launch another assault in the future.
...
In the icy, snowy northeast, every step was a struggle.
Sha Xing brushed the snowflakes off his head and grumbled, "I hate this white stuff, why is it so thick!"
"Didn't I tell you to wear a raincoat? You've got snow all over your head."
Fu Yunting brushed Sha Xing's hair, and a large clump of snow fell.
Jiang Nan and Jiang Bei were shivering and jogging in place. Fei Tian crouched beside them, already buried in snow.
Jiang Nan asked, "Young Master Fu, how much longer until we reach the base? It's so cold here."
"We're almost there. You two will come in with me. Sha Xing, Fei Tian, you two follow my orders and get everyone ready. Fei Tian, if you slack off again, I'll kick you out!"
Fei Tian shot up from the ground and patted the snow off himself.
He stood at attention, brimming with energy, "Mission guaranteed to be completed!"
Fu Yunting glanced behind them.
A dense mass of zombie heads surged in the snowy landscape.
Jiang Bei couldn't help but exclaim, "It's truly spectacular!"
Jiang Nan added, "Yeah, who would have thought we'd come alone and bring so many zombies with us."
One hundred thousand zombies, half of them high-level.
Several newly arrived seventh-tier zombies were munching on chocolate.
This stuff was much tastier than human flesh!
Fu Yunting looked at them and gave an order:
"Stay quietly in the snow and listen to Sha Xing's commands. Don't make me come find you to settle accounts."
The four new seventh-tier zombies nodded.
They plopped down into the snow.
All one hundred thousand zombies sank in, their bodies completely submerged by snow.
A few zombies reached out and smoothed the snow on top of their heads.
Without a close look, one could hardly see anything amiss.
Fu Yunting, Jiang Nan, and Jiang Bei shouldered their backpacks and walked towards the base.
The snow was already past their knees, and each step required pulling their legs out.
They were incredibly envious of Sha Xing now.
Zombie bodies were indeed more useful than human ones.
As Fu Yunting approached the base entrance, guards blocked their path.
Jiang Bei immediately revealed their provisions, "We're here to join you. Five jin of rice and one jin of fruit per person, we've prepared it all. Let us in."
The group of thugs at the gate, seeing their smooth skin and the fine goods they presented, immediately became greedy.
"You say it's five jin, and we say it's only three!"
"That's right, and not enough fruit either."
The gatekeeper picked up an apple and took a bite.
This finally enraged Fu Yunting.
He grabbed the guard's head and slammed it against the gate, then shoved the large apple down his throat.
He choked to death!
"Damn it, what are you doing? Looking for trouble, aren't you? Don't you know where this is!"
Fu Yunting wiped his hands and said coldly, "I know where this is, Honghui Base. I'm here to join. Any problem?"
Fu Yunting narrowed his eyes, and the barrel of his gun blurred, quickly disappearing.
Everyone was startled.
Although they liked to bully people, they also feared wicked individuals.
They had only intended to toy with these newcomers, but they had directly killed one.
The guard captain chuckled, "Apologies, brother. These youngsters have bad brains and always cause me trouble. It's good that one's dead!"
The guard captain had sharp eyes; he could tell at a glance that the three of them were capable and not someone the riff-raff below could mess with.
The guard captain returned the provisions to Fu Yunting.
"Don't mind them. If you want to come in, you'll need to register and undergo an inspection. No problem, right?"
"Mm."
Fu Yunting was disinfected first, then entered the infrared chamber.
Jiang Nan and Jiang Bei's hearts were in their throats.
The infrared could detect zombies; would it detect Fu Yunting?
Fu Yunting wasn't afraid at all.
His body temperature had been low before, but after reaching the eighth tier, he could briefly control his body temperature.
After the infrared scan, nothing suspicious was found.
Fu Yunting successfully entered the base.
Honghui Base had previously been a large base, with complete and sturdy facilities.
It was difficult to breach from the outside.
To break through, one had to start from within.
Fu Yunting's finger traced along the wall, "This place is huge."
"That's because our base has one hundred and fifty thousand people, with forty thousand above fifth tier. And every one of them is strong and loyal to the base!"
"Right, you look very strong. What tier are you?"
"Seventh tier, I guess."
He didn't want to reveal too much.
After all, no eighth-tier大神 had appeared outside yet, and Fu Yunting didn't want to shock them before reaching the core section.
The guard captain didn't take his words to heart and instead burst into laughter.
Many people claimed to be high-tier ability users when they arrived.
Although they didn't exaggerate too much, a single tier made a huge difference in treatment.
The guard captain teased, "Seventh tier is a treasure! If you're really seventh tier, our base will welcome you with open arms."
"By the way, you don't seem to be from around here. What made you think of coming to our base?"
Their accent and appearance were quite different; it was obvious they weren't locals.
Jiang Bei smiled, "We were just wandering around looking for a place to live. A couple of days ago, we saw a batch of prisoners being sent to the base, and we thought your strength was considerable, so we decided to check it out."
Jiang Nan added, "We don't want to go everywhere. Places that are too weak are boring."
The more arrogant their tone, the more believable it sounded.
In this absurd world, the more absurd things were, the easier they were to believe.
The guard captain laughed heartily, praising them for their ambition and for being like real men.
Fu Yunting's eyes scanned the base's interior.
He tapped his fingers, sending Rossi code towards the building.
Fu Yunlei: "Received your message, but the internal structure has been modified. We can't determine the entire base's layout yet. You'll need to let your cells infiltrate a bit more. Hold on."
【Hold on for how long?】
Fu Yunting wanted to kill these idiots every minute.
"About half an hour. Try to spread your cells out as much as possible, preferably leading them to take you down.
The key is whether they have nuclear weapons.
If not, it'll be easy.
If they do, we'll have to re-plan.
Fu Yunting walked along the wall, his fingers occasionally touching it.
The guard captain led them to the first level, "Alright, go get tested. Once your level is confirmed, you'll be assigned a room and supplies."
"Don't worry, we're very fair here. If you have the ability, you'll get good things. If you don't, you'll still have food to eat, and you won't die."
Fu Yunting looked at the massive testing machine, feeling a little uncertain for the first time.
What if it measured him as eighth tier? Would these people treat him like a god!
