Chapter 894: Did Captain Zhang Go to the Seafloor?

“Met them once yesterday, they seem quite strong, though their personalities aren’t that great.”

Leng Yebai furrowed his brows, feeling a bit uneasy when he thought of meeting the vice captain of the other Human Survivor Alliance yesterday.

It wasn’t that their attitude was bad.

It was just that they were too… dilly-dally.

Tearful and whiny.

Although it was Captain Zhang who beat them up, Leng Yebai claimed he never laid a hand on them.

He simply unleashed his full superpower when they questioned his abilities.

Even though he’s not very powerful yet, can’t even defeat Zhang Yiming leading the zombie packs.

But it’s worth mentioning that those captains indeed weren’t stronger than him.

Afraid his powers were too low, he spent a night in the space ambitiously, leveling up another rank to become a Seventh Rank Superpower User.

Now, he could rival Captain Zhang with his Eighth Rank Superpower.

Sometimes, if not pushed, Leng Yebai wouldn’t realize how strong he actually is.

Captain Zhang’s advice was also spot on; humans can rapidly enhance their superpowers by autonomously controlling brainwaves.

Like Leng Yebai, after surpassing Fifth Rank Superpower User, his power growth felt as natural as eating and drinking.

Perhaps they understand Huaxia’s martial arts very well; Leng Yebai didn’t even have to “persuade” them amicably, yet they supported Leng Yebai’s opinions wholeheartedly.

The intimidating point is, Leng Yebai was taught by Captain Zhang, who is known for delivering painful beatings.

“Be careful, if they refuse to submit, it could be trouble. If worse comes to worst, we could collectively go over and beat them up too.”

Uncle Wang appeared calm.

He wasn’t confident in his own abilities; rather, he had faith in the Bai Family’s strength.

“Alright.”

Leng Yebai slightly curled his lips, seemingly thinking it was quite a good idea.

Those guys seriously lack masculinity; if they could be “reformed,” they could become decent partners.

“People living in the Zombie Safety Zone, where will they go if they come here?”

Bai Zhengxuan suddenly asked.

Humans inherently have land issues, no one would allow others to invade their land.

Yet, with zombies going there, despite being a safety zone here, not allowing other humans here might also cause disputes.

There’s a chance fights could break out.

Initially designating that area as the zombies’ safety zone was quite unfair to them.

Ultimately, it’s a matter of ability.

Who told them they couldn’t defeat Captain Zhang or Zhang Yiming!

It’s the law of nature, survival of the fittest.

Moreover, in a certain sense, Captain Zhang and Zhang Yiming ended the apocalypse, helping not only themselves but all of humanity.

“Our land remains ours, and they will go to those already perished countries,” Leng Yebai spoke concisely.

Though labeled as perished countries, not quite.

There are still human survivors living on that land.

But at this moment, no one can manage it all; some need places to settle down.

For now, as long as peaceful, that’s enough.

After all, the apocalypse came too suddenly, all armed forces were rendered useless, even if there are surviving humans, they’re only few.

The drastically reduced population, totaling less than one percent of the previous global count.

The concept of complete land control no longer occupies their thoughts.

No one has the energy to manage it now.

Thus, the conflict isn’t particularly large.

Leng Yebai’s message was clear too, don’t provoke me, or I’ll let you experience the true essence of martial arts.

Everyone sighed for a while, before they meandered into other unrelated topics.

A two-hour dinner eventually came to a halt.

“Here, this is for your journey ahead.”

Bai Zhengxuan pulled out two servings of dumplings, with pork and scallion filling, and handed them over to Uncle Wang and Wang Liu.

“Let’s go!”

Uncle Wang took the dumplings from the green garbage truck window, waved heartily at Bai Zhengxuan, and then floored the gas pedal.

The trash truck roared loudly, madly speeding towards the safety base entrance.

Like a horse released from captivity.

“I wonder if we’ll get arrested after normal traffic resumes.”

Bai Zhengxuan pressed the corner of his eye, refraining from saying too many farewell words, only softly mentioning this.

Showing no signs of worry, but his tone carried a hint of teasing.

He seemed genuinely eager to see his old friend getting caught, thinking it would be amusing visiting them in jail.

“Oh right, I forgot to ask, will past data recover when things return to normal?”

Bai Anhai suddenly pulled Leng Yebai aside, absentmindedly scratching his back head.

Apparently, he did quite a lot of notorious deeds before the apocalypse!

He could be considered an economic criminal.

According to Mr. Bai’s conservative estimate, he would be jailed long enough that by the time Bai Yifan’s grandson finds a bride, he’d get to sip the tea of introduction.

“It won’t recover.”

Leng Yebai instinctively rubbed his nose, glancing around briefly.

Clearly showing signs of guilt.

After all, he… had been involved in plenty of exceptional activities.

Whew—

After just sending off Uncle Wang and Wang Liu, the previously sunny weather suddenly turned gloomy for the Bai Family.

The wind rose without warning.

It gave everyone a hard stumble.

“Get inside the car!”

Bai Xiqin used Control Power to stabilize everyone’s position, faintly hearing the sound of nearby trees snapping.

The fierce wind luckily found the safety base houses reinforced by Earth Ability Users, initially expected to guard against zombie animal invasion.

Nowadays, it serves as a wind-resistant harbor too.

But some people couldn’t make it home in time, being blown up and harshly landing on the ground, their fates unsure.

The Bai Family returned inside the bus, feeling its tremors.

“What’s with this wind? Why does it smell like seafood?”

Bai Yifan, near the window, sniffed, barely catching a whiff from outside.

The bus’s windows were well-sealed, but the wind still seeped through small gaps.

“It’s the scent of the sea; there shouldn’t be this smell here.”

Bai Xiqin lingered briefly by one side of the bus, eventually settled on one side, gazing outside.

The seaside aroma wasn’t foul, but Bai Xiqin had several times sensed an overwhelming stench in the seawater.

The most memorable occasion was during the days when zombies battled zombie marine life.

The sea turned black.

That odor was identical to today’s.

“Are the sea zombies attacking again? That shouldn’t be the case! Xiao Ming is pretty capable!”

Bai Zhengxuan was somewhat puzzled.

Since Zhang Yiming can control many zombie marine creatures, having chosen peace should mean the sea zombies coexist peacefully with the ground zombies.

“There still exist powerful zombie marine beings that Xiao Ming’s brainwaves have never affected, posing hidden threats; those old guys remain free for now.”

Bai Xiqin remarked with a trace of shock,

“Could Captain Zhang have gone underwater?”
