Zou s.h.i.+hui’s words immediately threw people into silence. When it came to food, they had to stay reasonable.
“But they’re zombies. They’ve eaten so many humans. They’re our deadly enemies. Even though we’re working with them for a good reason, it’s still hard for me to accept it,” someone said with repulsion.
“So, are you willing to serve Huaxia Base, be inferior to them, and beg them for protection? All Beings Base is a zombie base, but at least they treat us equally,” Zou s.h.i.+hui glanced at the man and said.
Currently, only Huaxia Base and All Beings Base were able to produce food. Sea City Base had a large population but no farm. Without the food coming from All Beings Base, there would be a great number of people starving to death every single day.
“They’re all zombies, but ever since they joined that base, they never hurt humans again. Also, every piece of vegetable and every single grain of rice you can have now was grown by those zombies.”
Fewer and fewer people had grat.i.tude in the current world. It was almost impossible for Sea City people to thank the zombies in All Beings Base, so Zou s.h.i.+hui only intended to let them know that they would have no food without those zombies.
“Then why don’t we rent their land and farm by ourselves? Or, we can buy the soil purification technique from them,” someone suggested with a weak voice.
“We’d still be depending on them in that way, wouldn’t we? Are you thinking that we can first learn their techniques and then turn against them? I can only tell you that they have no such techniques. They purified the soil with something that only their Chief has.” Zou s.h.i.+hui had guessed out what the person was really thinking about.
After learning that All Beings Base had a large number of zombies living in it, people instinctively felt repulsion against it, which was normal. Not everyone could accept that fact so easily.
However, the current situation was clear. All Beings Base had secret weapons while Sea City Base didn’t. Sea City Base wasn’t strong enough to take those secret weapons from All Beings Base by using violence either. After all, the world had been occupied by zombies.
Therefore, Sea City Base people should stay sane and reasonable, despite how hard it was for them to accept the truth about the other.
“Is that woman so important? I can’t believe that Chief Wu just left like this. He founded this base single-handedly! And Xiao Yunlong, Xiao Licheng, and the others… Doesn’t this base mean anything to them?” People didn’t want to continue thinking about the zombie base, so they changed the topic.
They weren’t happy about Wu Chengyue’s leaving. After all, losing one powerful man meant that the base might need to face a greater danger.
“You’re not his wife and son. Of course, you’re not as important to him as his wife and son!” Zou s.h.i.+hui didn’t even bother to explain, and they didn’t know how to respond to him. After all, Wu Chengyue wasn’t a man with a heroic spirit. Before leaving, he had, at least, brought a super-powerful man to the base to guard it. That was the last thing he could do for the base.
After the meeting, Zou s.h.i.+hui received the news saying that a batch of All Beings Base had joined Sea City Base. He had foreseen that. After all, most of the people couldn’t accept leaving together with zombies. He had known that some people would choose to leave All Beings Base after its secret was disclosed.
What surprised him was that the number of people who chose to leave was smaller than he thought. Clearly, a large part of them chose to stay.
“I guess those people didn’t lose their minds. Between a risky but promising life and the fate of death, they chose the former,” said Zou s.h.i.+hui.
The Deputy Chief sitting beside him was a gray-haired elderly man, looking strong and energetic. The elderly man adjusted his gla.s.ses, saying, “After all, the greatest difficulty in this world now isn’t zombies or mutated beasts, nor those underground creatures. It’s food. Nothing is more important than food.”
For that very reason, the senior administrators of Sea City Base reluctantly agreed to continue their partners.h.i.+p with All Beings Base. After learning that only one person in All Beings Base was capable of purifying the soil, and that person was the Chief of that base, they realized that they could never get the soil remedy, not even by using violence. Only when the Chief lady was willing to share it with them could they have it.
After all, that woman was a level-eight being, surrounded by a large group of zombies at level seven and six. She might even have zombie emperors under her command!
Everyone pictured those high-level zombies showing up outside their base, summoning huge crowds of zombies, and making them charge at the base like locusts. That imagined scene in their heads terrified them.
At that time, Wu Chengyue arrived All Beings Base with Xiao Yunlong and his other old friends, learning that his son was actually able to scare away underground creatures.
“You can do that? My good boy! Come on and let your Daddy give you a kiss!” Wu Chengyue smilingly lifted Teng up and kissed on his cheek.
Teng rolled his eyes blandly and said, “I can do a lot of things, but I’m not telling you about them! Besides, my capabilities have nothing to do with you. It’s all because of my Mama and my own gift.”
Among all, Wu Yueling was the happiest one to see Wu Chengyue. She was dependent on her father like the normal kids. Lin Qiao and Teng had shared a part of her dependency on her father, but Wu Chengyue, as her father, was still the person she was the most familiar with.
Therefore, she was always thrilled to see Wu Chengyue again after being separated from him for a while.
However, her way of expressing happiness was merely sitting on the side and watching the interactions between Wu Chengyue and Teng with a smile.
“Mama is coming home soon! So next, you two can figure out a way to deal with that poisonous energy mist. It’d be bad for my uncles and aunt if it came into our base.” Sitting on Wu Chengyue’s lap, Teng thought for a moment and said with a serious face.
‘Apart from the poisonous mist, there was also a huge problem underground to be dealt with. Oh, the man in Huaxia Base who always caused Mama and Daddy trouble needed to be taken care of first.’ The boy thought.
Seeing the boy fall in deep thoughts, Wu Chengyue rubbed his head and said with a smile, “Stop thinking about that. Your Mama and I will solve the problem. It’s not yet your turn to worry about it. You’re still a baby!”
“Oh,” Teng raised his head and looked at his father as he pondered upon his words. Then, he nodded in agreement.
Indeed, no other babies would need to worry about the problems that only adults can deal with. Actually, not even ordinary adults could deal with those problems!
The first thing that Lin Qiao did when she returned was to call a meeting. Seeing Wu Chengyue walk into the conference room, she couldn’t help but ask, “How weird is this? Shouldn’t you be at Sea City Base at this time?”
Wu Chengyue spread his hands, saying, “Sea City Base has nothing to do with me anymore. From now on, I’m yours.”
Lin Qiao didn’t know what to say, and everyone else on the scene felt speechless.
‘Someone, please take this man away,‘ some of them wished.
