Chapter 714: Refusing to Cooperate
Bai Xiqin didn’t pay much attention to what was happening outside of S City in her previous life, and wasn’t sure if humans had actually used this kind of weapon.
Even though various institutions have collapsed, as long as the locations where weapons are stored can be found, large-scale destructive weapons can still be used.
"You all need to keep a close eye on those two people, know when they are deploying it, and where they are hiding that weapon."
Bai Xiqin directly released Qin Yuan, letting it and the Water Python monitor those two people together.
Afraid that one little beast would be overwhelmed.
"Got it! We’ll definitely complete the master’s task!"
Seeing Bai Xiqin’s serious expression, the Water Python knew the gravity of the situation and responded with a serious face.
Its small head nodded a little, its mung bean-sized eyes small yet bright like stars in the sky.
The car window opened a crack, and the Water Python along with Qin Yuan turned into two streaks of white light, quickly disappearing from the bus.
"Old... Sister, they’re not talking about that thing, right?"
Bai Yifan, nearly biting his tongue as he spoke, stuttered.
This is simply an act of harming one thousand enemies and self-damaging eight hundred.
There’s no benefit at all.
Moreover, he felt that the Human Survivor Alliance was putting so much effort against Brother Zhang, they might as well do more research on a cure.
Zhang Yiming poses no significant threat to humans, he just possesses power.
"Yes, it’s that. Captain Zhang went to the South Sea and hasn’t returned; the command is currently in their hands."
Bai Xiqin had a heavy expression on her face.
Going to the South Sea must be very dangerous for Captain Zhang, it’s uncertain when he’ll return, and they don’t even know if what those two said is true, about Captain Zhang dying in the South Sea.
"This is too dangerous, how about... we leave Shanghai quickly?"
Bai Yifan looked at the sky outside the window, feeling like something might fall down and hit him from time to time.
"There’s no need to worry just yet. Since those two are the commanders, as long as they are here, it’s safe. They have to confirm the Zombie Emperor is really here before they throw anything."
If they throw it without hitting the Zombie Emperor, it would displease the Human Survivor Alliance and could alert the enemy.
Bai Xiqin took a sliced apple and ate it in small bites, strategizing in her mind.
If they can’t confirm the presence of the Zombie Emperor here, they won’t leave.
But if they find the trails of the Zombie Emperor somewhere else, they won’t hesitate to drop it.
"Should we inform Brother Zhang?"
Bai Yifan, unable to sit still, stood up from the couch.
Zhang Yiming’s whereabouts weren’t hidden from the Bai Family; sometimes they’d even bump into him while out.
Members of the Bai Family have visited where he stays several times.
So Bai Yifan thought Zhang Yiming is easy to find; perhaps by the time they’re discussing, he could be found.
"Given this situation, it’s best not to seek him out, lest others discover his whereabouts, but the message must reach him!"
Bai Xiqin pondered, wondering how to convey the information to Zhang Yiming without anyone else knowing!
"Brainwaves, as long as we deliver the message to a zombie, the zombie can relay it to that guy."
Leng Yebai set the tray he was holding on the couch, his stern face showed some seriousness.
That kind of weapon is no joke. Blowing the Zombie Emperor away is one thing, but the radiation left behind will linger for a long time.
"Do it now!"
Bai Xiqin waved her hand, putting on thick gloves as she prepared to head out.
Leng Yebai glanced at the darkening sky outside and picked a thick hat to help Bai Xiqin put on.
Bai Yifan originally wanted to go along, but Bai Xiqin didn’t allow it.
The fewer people, the better.
Frost appeared under Bai Xiqin’s feet, making the road harder to traverse, but safe to walk on.
From time to time, there were thumping sounds from under the ice, noises from trapped zombies banging.
"What kind of zombie should we find?"
It’s quite a challenge to find a suitable zombie as a messenger.
If this guy isn’t strong enough and gets killed by another superpower user to dig out the crystal core, it would all be in vain.
"Just pick a few! If worst comes to worst, let Song Wenwen help." Leng Yebai frowned.
He also realized there could be problems in delivering information.
"Then let’s go with this one!"
Bai Xiqin casually pointed beneath her feet.
"Thump thump thump!"
Under the ice which Bai Xiqin froze, irregular banging sounds accompanied by zombie roars could be heard.
A vague black shadow could be seen.
"Alright!"
Leng Yebai chuckled, stepping aside to let Bai Xiqin stand away while he stood over the shadow and stomped on the ice layer.
Being an Ice Ability User, Leng Yebai’s ice-based superpower made the ice layer less hard; a gentle stomp caused cracking sounds.
Cracks appeared all over it, and with a slight push, the ice-trapped zombie burst free, revealing a claw full of decayed flesh.
The zombie, full of decayed flesh, quickly emerged from the ice, eager to rise due to the scent of blood and flesh from both of them.
Frozen for too long in the ice, the zombie’s body crackled loudly when moving.
It was a grotesque looking, ordinary middle-aged zombie, bare feet, only black ice developed from rotten flesh and snow clinging to its feet.
Despite wearing a suit, its wrist still sported a seemingly expensive watch.
The suit was in tatters, and the watch was damaged.
From being in the ice for so long, standing up too quickly, one of the zombie’s rotting toes got stuck to the ice.
The rest of the toes appeared limp with no strength, only relying on instincts to prop up its wobbly body, lunging towards them.
As it was about to touch them, an invisible force held it back, preventing any advance.
"Roar—"
The zombie swayed slightly, growling in its throat.
"Ahem, how should we say it?"
The zombie appeared uncooperative, not resembling a messenger capable of delivering messages.
"Just say it straight." Leng Yebai wasn’t quite practiced either.
"Ahem, go back and tell your boss, Zhang Yiming, someone above is planning to nuke him, tell him to be cautious and not reveal his whereabouts recently."
Bai Xiqin said this into the zombie’s ear.
"Roar..."
The zombie only responded with a roar, its decayed eyes stared fixatedly at Bai Xiqin, its face fierce.
Completely uncooperative!
"If you deliver the message, tell your boss to reward you with a new pair of shoes, or at least throw in a pair of gloves!"
Bai Xiqin looked at the zombie, desperately trying to break free, and added another line.
In executing, Bai Xiqin realized how ridiculous this act was, as ordinary zombies don’t relay messages at all!
But it wasn’t too embarrassing; at least only Leng Yebai was there, and he wouldn’t spread it; if he did, she’d beat him up!
"Roar—"
The zombie continued to be more captivated by the flesh scent on Bai Xiqin and Leng Yebai.
"I’m counting on you!"
Bai Xiqin patted the zombie’s shoulder, then maneuvered the zombie towards the direction of Sheep Village.
The zombie flew through the air for a considerable distance before gradually landing on the ground.
As soon as Bai Xiqin withdrew her controlling power, the zombie charged back at them without hesitation.
... It completely turned Bai Xiqin’s words into background noise!
"This isn’t working!"
Depressed, Bai Xiqin kept pushing the zombie towards Sheep Village, but it persistently returned.
Unswerving and uncooperative.
