Chapter 836: Negotiation ( 2 )
Glancing at the mutants from the Mo family, Jin Xuyan added, "If necessary, it’s okay to lend a hand to them. It’s better to lower the casualties as much as possible."
Receiving the order, the members replied in unison, "Understood."
After he gave some instructions to Zhang Yuan, Jin Xuyan left the wall and went to make a phone call. The call rang for a long time, but no one picked up.
Frowning, he tried three more times, but no one picked up. Fearing that something bad had happened to his fiancée, he dialed another number. Soon after, the call was connected, and Mo Junjie’s voice was heard.
"Captain, why did you call me?"
"Is Ah Zhi with you or Beiye?" Jin Xuyan asked.
"My sister-in-law is not with Beiye or me." After a moment of pause, he added, "The last time I saw my sister-in-law was three days ago. She suddenly left, and I don’t know where she went."
Hearing this, Jin Xuyan asked, "Is Beiye with you?"
"No, she said she had something to do and left."
Although he was worried, Jin Xuyan still kept his emotions in check. "Okay. How is the situation over there?"
"The battle has ended, and the base has already arranged for people to clear up the battlefield."
"Good. You should take a rest. The situation is not optimistic here. You might need to come over later."
Mo Junjie went silent for a moment before he replied, "Understood."
After he hung up the call, Jin Xuyan dialed his fiancée’s number. This time, the call was picked up on the second ring.
"Captain, it’s me, Beiye."
"How’s Ah Zhi?"
"My sister is fine. She is sleeping right now and should wake up in an hour."
When he heard this, Jin Xuyan heaved a sigh of relief. "Beiye, take good care of your sister. We might need her teleportation skills later."
"Captain, how’s the situation over there?" Du Beiye asked.
"It’s not good. The number of zombies keeps increasing, and their attacks are organized. I guess that there are at least six high-level zombies controlling them. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the zombies to know when to attack and when to retreat."
"Why don’t you kill the commanding zombies?"
"It’s not that simple. The number of zombies is too high. If we leave to find the commanding zombies, the base won’t be able to withstand their attacks."
The moment she heard this, Du Beiye sighed. "Compared to the zombies, the number of mutants is indeed too low."
Jin Xuyan noticed her frustration and chuckled. "The problem is not the disparity in numbers but the selfishness of the human race."
"In the face of danger, they are still calculating and scheming against each other. If one day the human race is destroyed, the fault will lie in their nature."
Recalling the historical records of the human race, Du Beiye nodded in agreement.
"I still have something to discuss with Xun Che. When Ah Zhi wakes up, tell her to call me."
"Understood."
After he hung up the call with Du Beiye, Jin Xuyan made another call.
"Old Jin, why did you call me? Did something happen in Sanchou Base?"
"Old Xun, we indeed need reinforcements. The number of zombies is more than 400,000, and more are still coming."
The moment he heard this, Xun Che was shocked. After he regained his composure, he asked, "How many mutants do you have there?"
"Besides my team members, there are a total of 478 mutants from the Mo family."
"How about the commoners?" Xun Che asked again.
"There are more than 123,000 commoners, but they don’t know how to use weapons. Even if we give them firearms, they will only waste the ammunition," Jin Xuyan sighed.
"I understand. I will send my people over. It might take a few hours."
Just after he said this, he heard a loud explosion from Jin Xuyan’s side. "What happened?"
Jin Xuyan rushed to the wall and saw Qin Luzi fighting against several zombies in mid-air. "You can’t use military choppers."
"Why?"
"There are zombies with wind-type abilities. They can fly and launch air attacks."
"What the hell?!" Xun Che couldn’t help but curse when he heard this. He never expected the zombies to get so strong.
"Old Jin, if we don’t use the choppers, it would take days to arrive in Sanchou. Will you be able to hold on for so long?" he asked.
"I have a way to solve this problem. For now, all you need to do is arrange the reinforcements. Also, arrange for medical staff, doctors, and healers. The number of casualties is quite high here. The condition of the commoners is also not good."
Hearing this, Xun Che felt a headache coming on and said, "Alright, I will do my best."
"Contact me when everything is ready."
"Okay."
When he finished the call, Jin Xuyan rejoined his team. With him taking over the command and fighting on the front line, the zombies were pushed back by more than 100 meters, giving the mutants from the Mo family time to take a rest for a while.
At the same time, in the Lin’an City Base, Jiao Lizhi finally regained her consciousness. When she opened her eyes, she realized that she was sleeping in her own bedroom.
Just after she sat up, the door opened, and Du Beiye entered while holding a tray. She placed the food on the bedside table and said, "Sister, you should eat something first."
Jiao Lizhi nodded and drank the water before she started eating the porridge. Without even asking, she knew that it was her sister who found her in the underground cellar.
Du Beiye dragged a chair over and sat in front of her sister. "What happened? Why did you faint in that place? Is it because I activated the system barrier?"
Jiao Lizhi shook her head and replied, "It’s not because of that."
"Then what’s the reason?"
"The system shut down the connection to ensure my safety."
