Xu Qian pushed open the main door with a calm expression. A strong scent of blood wafted from within.
The ground was covered in a pile of corpses, a river of blood flowing everywhere.
On the topmost body, a white flag was inserted into its mouth. The writing on it was made of blood.
The strokes were messy, but Xu Qian recognized the writer instantly.
Song Xiaoping.
It arrogantly declared: "Xi, want to have a competition?"
A cold smile tugged at Xu Qian's lips. She tilted her chin slightly, turned, and walked away.
That zombie scum, Song Xiaoping!
After Xu Qian got into the car, He Yueyue and Lu Yang felt a chill run down their spines.
Had Sister Xi been provoked by something?
He Yueyue cautiously asked, "Sister Xi, where are we heading for the next base?"
Xu Qian snapped back to reality, picked up the walkie-talkie, and instructed, "Groups 4-10, head to Daying Base. Groups 11-15, go to..."
Each group consisted of 5-10 people. Out of thirty groups in total, more people were dispatched to larger bases and fewer to smaller ones.
They had to rescue people before Song Xiaoping did.
"One last thing, if you can't win, run."
Everyone was so moved they were close to tears. Who said Xu Qian was heartless? Wasn't she showing a lot of humanity now?
"If you can't run, remember to send me a message before you die."
Everyone: ...
What happened to showing humanity?
After the arrangements were made, they dispersed to various locations for rescue.
Xu Qian and the other two drove towards Jihang Base.
Time was of the essence; they had to go faster, faster, and faster.
By the time the group arrived at Jihang Base, it was already in chaos. Hordes of zombies and women were locked in combat.
The number of corpses on the ground wasn't high, indicating the zombie horde had only recently arrived.
"Get out of the car and engage the enemy."
"Yes."
The two didn't hesitate and charged straight in.
Xu Qian clapped her hands, and a dark silhouette flashed before her.
There weren't enough reinforcements. The other four had been assigned to the army, leaving only Su Chen to protect her.
"You should fight too, don't just hide behind me."
Su Chen's eyes flickered. He nodded forcefully and darted towards the battlefield.
Xu Qian moved her thoughts, and a Buster Sword materialized in her palm.
The four cooperated seamlessly, and Jihang Base wasn't weak. With Jie Yayun and Yi Chun holding the line, they quickly annihilated the mutated beings.
Everyone was covered in blood, but Xu Qian, amidst the carnage, remained untouched.
Jie Yayun, her face pale and breathing heavily, ran over and asked, "Xiao Xi, what happened?"
Xu Qian put away the Buster Sword and said calmly, "Sister Yayun, organize everyone and move to Hope Base.
With mutated zombies attacking everywhere, no place other than Hope Base is safe."
Jie Yayun frowned. Moving to Hope Base was fine, but why would zombies suddenly attack the base?
Normally, zombies wouldn't actively attack humans if they couldn't smell them.
Xu Qian heard her thoughts but didn't answer, unable to explain.
With a wave of her hand, several buses appeared out of thin air.
"Sister Yayun, pack up and leave as soon as possible. Don't delay. I'm worried there might be a second attack."
Given Song Xiaoping's character, it was highly possible.
Jie Yayun immediately went to make arrangements.
Xu Qian didn't have time for small talk; they had to reach the next base quickly to save more people.
"Let's go."
Su Chen flashed to Xu Qian's side and said in a low voice, "Miss Xu, I'll drive."
"Okay."
Xu Qian sat in the passenger seat. The two in the back seat their eyes darting around, observing them.
Su Chen's face was flushed, and he felt utterly uncomfortable.
