Volume 3 Chapter 77 On the verge
Shao Qing looked very elegant and languid on the sofa, as she raised her eyelids: “I don’t want too much for the ransom. Each person is worth one rank 5 crystal. You are the boss, so the price should be more expensive. It doesn’t matter if they don’t have crystal, they can exchange it for grain, which is equivalent to the crystal nucleus. Within a month, if the things don’t arrive, not only will I tear up the ticket, but I will immediately list the Qian family as someone I cannot get along with. Other forces or families would be able to buy vegetables or grain from me at the same price, but the Qian family cannot.”
She lazily said, “I’ll leave my words here, go back to your house. Tell your boss clearly and let him figure out his own interests.”
The man in the lead was going to leave trembling, but was stopped by Shao Qing. Shao Qing planted a dodder on him first, then said to him:” You can leave now. Panpan, give him a car.”
The despair on the man’s face and the fluke in his heart was completely shattered.
Knowing someone like Shao Qing, how can she not have a plan.
When this person was released, Shao Qing continued to tease her son. Yan Qiyue frowned and said, “Ah Qing, I am worried that the Qian family may be against us. Although we are not afraid of the Qian family, if the Qian family, on the grounds of this matter, united with other people, is that not good for us? We would have no other way. Although one or two bases will not cause any harm to us, what if they unite most of the bases?”
“The things in our hands are too coveted, land that has not been contaminated. Not to mention, the way to order zombies around. With this as a bargaining chip, I am afraid that many people will be encouraged by them. You know people are greedy.” Yan Qiyue sounded dreary.
Shao Qing nodded: “I know, but if it weren’t like this, would they not be against us? Just like you said, people are greedy and can’t be stopped. Instead of waiting for them to do things to us, it’s better for us to take the initiative in our own hands. Only when they are hurt and are in fear will they know who they should not provoke.”
Shao Qing looked out the window: “Take advantage of the work these days. You and Yin Ye will study carefully what is the difference between the land in Jiangcheng and the land outside, as well as the source of water, so we can find the source. Only then will we have the advantage. Only hitting them will be useless. Once the entire country is scarce in food, when it is about survival, then all the people will give their lives to deal with us. At that time, it will be a true crisis. Even if we claim to the outside world we don’t know why the land in Jiangcheng will not be polluted, no one will believe it.”
So, sometimes advantages become disadvantages and good things become fatal. At this point, things in this world are so volatile.
Yan Qiyue agreed. In terms of strength, although strength is strength, among this group of people, he can only be regarded as a little below average. What he was best at was research. This is the only thing he can help Shao Qing with.
Yan Qiyue made up his mind. After eating dinner, he will go to Yin Ye. Before that, Shao Qing had asked Yan Hanqing to bring back soil and water samples from outside. As long as they were willing, they could start research immediately.
Next, Shao Qing began to a.s.sign tasks. They will be immediately experiencing a b.l.o.o.d.y storm soon. This battle will definitely be the most difficult one in her life. It can be said that there will be enemies on all sides. Everyone will become their enemies.
That night, Jiangcheng heard a sharp and loud voice. If there were humans nearby, it would definitely make their liver tremble because each voice represented a high-rank zombie.
Advanced meaning rank six or above.
After the zombies have reached a certain level of strength, they could summon zombies with a lower rank than them. In Jiangcheng, everything was lacking, but there was no shortage of two things, high-rank zombies and food.
The group of reformers under Yin Ye’s hands were currently at rank 6. In addition to the native zombies in Jiangcheng, they all have a certain mindset. After Yin Ye’s transformation, they have become their hardcore brothers. Counting, there were more than 30 zombies above rank 6 in Jiangcheng.
This doesn’t include Shao Qing. Shao Qing was already at rank 7. Although she was not a pure zombie, unable to summon other zombies, she had a natural king’s presence. When ordinary zombies see her, they would have their tails clamped.
Those zombies with their own thinking have sincerely regarded Shao Qing as the boss, which is why it is said that Shao Qing is the real boss of Jiangcheng.
The sound waves of zombies can be transmitted very far. Many bases were awakened in the middle of the night and discovered that there was a wave of zombies outside. Countless zombies were densely packed and pa.s.sed by their base.
Some bases were frightened because these zombies were going to attack their bases. All of them got up in the middle of the night, fully armed, ready to make the final resistance.
As a result, they didn’t expect the zombies to just pa.s.s by their door. They didn’t even look at their door. If someone looked down on the entire china from above, they would find that several provinces and cities had a wave of zombies and a huge number of zombies began to move towards Jiangcheng.
It’s like they were going to worship a king.
Shao Qing waved her hand: “Go out to work and start expanding the outer city!”
Don’t just look at the size of Jiangcheng and think it is really big. If the zombies from all directions came over, they really couldn’t accommodate them. The outer city had to be expanded. Long ago, Yin Ye tried to expand it. His idea was to dig a ring outside the city wall. When the piece of land comes out, it would be like a river city and then for the outermost layer of the city wall, they would set up a city defense equipment.
But for many reasons, this idea was finally shelved. But, now it was picked up by Shao Qing.
The busiest ones have become Tang Tiande and the zombies. The zombies go out every day, picking up a lot of big rocks. These big rocks were polished and squared, then they became the main body of the next city wall.
Shao Qing borrowed a dozen earth-type superhumans from Hope Survivor Base to be responsible for building the city wall. The construction of the city wall was very fast. After all, they had a large number of people.
When the first wave of zombies arrived, the outer city wall had already constructed the basic main body. Tang Tiande was busy planting another layer of mutant plants outside.
The arriving zombies joined the construction team very obediently, so their progress was a bit faster. When Shao Qing checked the time, it should be more than enough time. This is because the group of higher ups would have to first have a meeting and discuss before they can gather and fight Jiangcheng together.
After the discussion was over, they still had to discuss who would be the master of such a large group. For this group of human beings, when a disaster is at the head, they will have to discuss who would be the master, let alone now.
Just like in ancient times, fighting to be a martial arts leader was the same.
After all these discussions are over, they will have to discuss how many people will be allocated from each base, how many benefits can be allocated afterwards, and so on.
When everything is discussed, at least a week would have pa.s.sed. So Shao Qing was not in a hurry. After the outer city wall was built, she was calm. The next step was to start repairing meticulously.
Be sure to make the entire Jiangcheng’s outer defenses solid.
After all, victory or defeat in the next fierce battle was really important.
When the outer city wall was about to be built, Qin Zixi brought a group of people over. They had come to transport the batch of vegetables, but found that Jiangcheng was in full swing, so he asked some questions.
Shao Qing told Qin Zixi about the recent events: “You go back now, tell G.o.dfather not to stand up for me, just keep silent. Just leave the rest to me.”
Qin Zixi’s expression immediately changed. He ordered the people around him to go back first to tell the Qin old man the news, and then said: “I will stay!”
“You go back for me too.” Shao Qing frowned. Then added: “It won’t make a difference with your addition. Instead of mixing things up here, go back and take good care of the old man. That would be your greatest help to me.”
Qin Zixi calmly replied: “Qing Jiejie, listen to me slowly. I am now a rank 5 superhuman. After I break through rank 5, I have one more ability to dominate beasts. Although my current strength can’t tame many mutant beasts, if you have tamed them, I can temporarily control them. I think my ability will be of great help to the next battle. Let me stay. Qing Jiejie, you are in danger, but you want me to return to the comfort zone in Jing Du? Not even mentioning if Grandpa will be angry or not, I will be anxious the entire time. Trust me, as long as you are here, you won’t let me get hurt anyways.”
Shao Qing turned her head away for a long time: “Okay, I will let you stay, but you must listen to me. If you dare to take risks without authorization, immediately go back to Jing Du for me.”
“Okay!” Qin Zixi immediately agreed.
His abilities were indeed very useful for the current situation in Jiangcheng. So that afternoon, Shao Qing separated a group of zombies and handed them to Gu Panpan and Gu Chuan to catch high-level mutant beasts.
To the northwest of Jiangcheng, there was a forest with a large area, there were many mutant beasts inside. This group of mutant beasts originally lived very well, but in the end, it suddenly became a mess, and they were all captured.
On the other side, in Jing Du, after the Qian family received the news, as Shao Qing thought, they immediately contacted the person in charge of many large bases and small bases, as well as several major forces in Jing Du. They were prepared to directly destroy Jiangcheng.
Because the news brought back by the captain of the exploration team was really amazing. If it is really like what the captain of the exploration team said, then Jiangcheng not only has a method to keep the land and water sources from being polluted, but also a method to manipulate the zombies.
If they can get these two methods, can the end times be called the end times?
No, it will be a paradise for mankind.
Humans will no longer have natural enemies, and zombies will become one of the resources controlled by humans. Water and land will no longer be polluted, so humans will no longer lack food.
The head of the Qian family even had a very beautiful idea. Humans may be able to rebuild the country, restore the previous technology and advance even higher. Moreover, with these two methods, China may even become the largest country in the world, the most transcendent.
As the first person to discover these two methods, the power of the Qian family will also rise to the next level.
It is a pity that after the description of the captain of the reconnaissance team, he found that the strength of the Qian family, if singled out, was not enough to destroy the entire Jiangcheng. Otherwise, he really wanted to eat this dish alone.
He was unwilling to share such a big piece of cake with others, but no matter how unwilling he was, he must divide it. Because if it was not divided, this piece of cake would choke him to death.
There were a lot of people who came to the meeting. Most of the base chiefs of China were there including Yan Qiyue’s old home, as well as the base chief of S City, Meng Shen.
Of course there were the two old patrons of the Qin family and the Tan family.
The Patriarch of the Qian family first described his vision, then began to say: “I hope everyone can contribute to this cause. As the largest city of zombies in the country, Jiangcheng should have been wiped out long ago. This is even more important for the future of mankind.”
The heads of several other bases responded.
The old man of the Qin family was angry at the time, he slapped the table directly: “Laozi will put these words here, I won’t partic.i.p.ate in this matter. Why won’t I partic.i.p.ate? I’m not afraid to tell you that the daughter of Laozi is in Jiangcheng! Whoever dares to touch my daughter will be standing opposite of my Qin family!”
The Qian family’s patron has long regarded the Qin family as displeasing. After all, the Qian family is in Jing Du. Although it is one of the four major families, it is at the bottom. Who doesn’t have ambition? Who doesn’t want his status to rise?
He said coldly: “Master Qin, so you mean your daughter and the zombies are on the same team? Everyone knows very well that zombies stand on the opposite side of humanity. Is the Qin family preparing to oppose humanity?”
When talking about this, Old man Tan also stood up: “I also object to this matter. Whoever dares to move against Jiangcheng is tantamount to moving against the Tan family!”
Those who knew these two old men were in an uproar. Who didn’t know that these two elders have been fighting for a lifetime. If the Qin family supports it, the Tan family will definitely oppose it, and vice versa.
Over the past few decades, it was the first time that they have seen these two old men side on the same thing, expressing their support.
Moreover, it was so reckless, it was shocking.
Zhu Mochen also stood up silently: “Shao Qing is my friend, I won’t do anything to my friend.”
The Qian Family Patriarch immediately said: “You are not hesitating to stand on the opposite side of human beings for your own benefit? ”
“Don’t tell me that you are not preparing to attack Jiangcheng for your own personal gain.” The Qin family old man said coldly.
The Qian Family Patriarch looked righteous: “I am doing it for all mankind!”
“Bah!” The Tan Family spat in front of the Qian Patriarch: “Everyone knows what you are thinking in your heart. Everyone knows why you are here. Pretending to be a fool, I know very well what happened today. Me and old man Qin just expressed our own att.i.tude. We cannot interfere with your thoughts, but starting today, the Qin family and the Tan family will withdraw from the Jing Du Survivor Base.”
Zhu Mochen also firmly said: “And my mercenary group.”
Old man Qin nodded: “Yes, the three of us will leave Jing Du starting today. You guys can go ahead and send troops, join together, it doesn’t matter.”
As soon as they said these words, many people’s expressions changed, not because of anything else, but because these three companies together accounted for almost half of Jing Du’s strength. If they left, Jing Du’s ranking of being the first would not be true to its name.
But many people knew that these people were all temperamental, all as stubborn as bulls. Once they make their decision, they will not change.
In other words, the Qin family, the Tan family, and Zhu Mochen’s departure from Jing Du was already confirmed.
The last of the four major families in Jing Du was a well-known peacemaker. The Patriarch of the Liu family quickly said, “Why are you both acting like this? How old are you, yet you still have such a temper? Can’t we discuss it slowly?”
Old man Qin said coldly: “I have lived out most of my life. You know my temper, I always help my blood and ignore outsiders. What’s more, reason is not on your side. You are all going to move against my girl, do you think my turtle head can stand it?”
The old man of the Tan family also said: “I have been against Lao Qin for a lifetime, but I must say that I admire him. Even if we throw away the Qin family and the Tan family, we two will not regret it, because the person in Jiangcheng is the daughter of these two old men, our only daughter!”
