As Chu Jin spoke, she produced a map of City A.
Once the map was spread out, Chu Jin pointed to the locations she mentioned and showed them to Su Ling. "See, it's these places. These places have the raw materials we need to build the base, but to reach them, we must pass through this stretch of road."
Chu Jin pointed to a special section of the road on the map and explained to Su Ling, "And those people, they are here, intercepting passing survivors, robbing them of their supplies. You might not believe this, but when they capture survivors who are not their match, in a situation of scarce resources, they eat human flesh directly."
"As for why I know—" Chu Jin chuckled. "I just happened to be passing by and witnessed everything. It's also because of this that I almost died at their hands. Fortunately, I could command the zombies to shelter me and facilitate my escape, allowing me to narrowly escape death."
"The zombies in the vicinity have already been wiped out by them, so we don't need to worry about zombies. What we need to worry about and consider is this group of people. Do you know what kind of people they were before the apocalypse?"
As Chu Jin said this, he looked at Su Ling, waiting for her reply.
Su Ling disliked beating around the bush and was too lazy to guess. She shook her head and said faintly, "I don't know. You tell me."
Chu Jin didn't feel embarrassed. Since Su Ling asked him to speak, he did. "They were all heinous criminals. The apocalypse was a boon to them; they used the prison as their residence and directly became kings and overlords!"
With this explanation, everything became clear.
People who were unforgivable before the apocalypse, with no restraints or checks in place after the apocalypse, would naturally unleash their true nature and act with impunity.
A group of desperate fugitives, without any constraints, facing the apocalypse, and having awakened supernatural abilities, was simply capable of any evil.
Humanity and morality were completely unrelated to that group of people.
Su Ling and her group needed to establish a survivor base in City A, which meant clearing out the surrounding safety hazards.
If they could be subdued and surrendered, they would be subdued and surrendered. Those who could not would be uprooted.
As for the people Chu Jin mentioned, it was impossible to subdue or make them surrender; they had to be eliminated.
Su Ling understood. Even if they hadn't gone to the outskirts to collect building materials, that group of bullies would have to be dealt with.
If they weren't eliminated, they would inevitably pose a threat to them.
If they caused trouble and launched sneak attacks repeatedly, it would also bring them unnecessary harassment and trouble.
Su Ling took the map and looked at it for a while, then returned it to Chu Jin. "Then, when the mobile castle arrives at the chosen site, we will depart and head to the place you mentioned. You will be responsible for leading the way, acquiring the supplies, and eliminating them."
"As a welcome gift for you joining us," Su Ling said, a flash of ruthlessness in her eyes. "Those who bully my people will never have a good end."
Su Ling said this deliberately for Wen Shangyin to hear.
Wen Shangyin was undoubtedly restless and troublesome; this was to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys.
Chu Jin put the map away and patted his bulging stomach, savoring the feast he had just had. "No problem, I'll lead the way. If needed, I'll even bring some zombies as a grand gift for them."
"Heh heh," Su Ling chuckled, leaning back lazily in her chair. "Good, that's fine. No problem."
Wen Shangyin, listening to Su Ling and Chu Jin's conversation, had a multitude of thoughts.
He knew Chu Jin was powerful; as the Zombie King who could command the zombie army, his abilities were formidable.
Yet, such a Zombie King who could command the zombie army had nearly been killed by apocalypse survivors.
Wen Shangyin harbored ulterior motives; he wanted to subdue those apocalypse survivors, offer them favors, and make them obey him and work for him!
