Zombie Sister Strategy

“It’s possible. I can’t believe that Long Yubai is still chasing after Great Captain and his people. Such a scum! He has already destroyed the base. What else does he want?” Duan Juan nodded and said through clenched teeth.

“Long Yubai has always been a very ambitious person. He looks gentle and polite, but in fact, he’s cruel and heartless. I think there’s definitely some other reason for him to go to Sea City this time,” Li Hongsheng thought for a moment, then said.

Duan Juan looked at him and paused for a second, blinking with disbelief.

“Are you saying… It’s not possible, is it? Does he have such a huge appetite? Can he swallow the Sea City Base?”

Li Hongsheng shook his head and said, “That’s only a guess. I have no actual evidence, so I can’t make a judgment.”

Duan Juan thought for a moment, then felt that it was quite impossible.

Yuan Tianxing and his people were surely Long Yubai’s target. Except for them, he might also attempt to scout Sea City Base or reach his fingers into it. That sounded like something he might do. After all, the Hades Base, which had only hundreds of thousands of survivors, wasn’t enough to fulfill his ambition.

Long Yubai wasn’t capable enough, but he did know a few tricks to gain help. So, in fact, it was not impossible for him to crave the Sea City Base.

Duan Juan had a second thought and suddenly felt that Li Hongsheng’s guess could be true.

“About what you said… I guess he’s indeed ambitious. Our Hades Base can’t satisfy him at all,” she said.

Li Hongsheng nodded and then asked her about the future plan, “What should we do next? Yang Jianhua is still in the base. Also, I’ve heard some bad news. Yang Jianhua starved those commoners to death… He starved them to death.”

Mentioning the fact that Yang Jianhua locked those innocent commoners up and let them starve to death, Li Hongsheng wore a sullen look.

Hearing that, Duan Juan paused briefly again, then stared at Li Hongsheng in shock. “What did you say? He starved those people to death? Didn’t you say that he and Long Yubai will bring them to Earth Dragon Base?” she said.

“No. The ones under thirty were brought to Earth Dragon Base by them earlier, and the old, weak, disabled, and ill ones were left here. I heard that Long Yubai has ordered Yang Jianhua to kill all those commoners, but the latter hasn’t taken action yet. However, he has already started to cut off the food and water supplies for those captives these days,” Li Hongsheng shook his head and said.

“They… They are monsters! Yang Jianhua and Long Yubai are just two animals!” Duan Juan popped her eyes and said with anger. She couldn’t even believe what she had heard.

Li Hongsheng continued, “But, I think Yang Jianhua won’t kill the families of those soldiers. There’re not many of them though.”

He knew that Yang Jianhua would control those soldiers with their families’ lives. However, the number of those people was small. Many people died after the apocalypse, and many had lost whole of their families.

Some people survived, but only a few of them managed to find their family in the past few years, even if their families were still alive.

Hearing their conversation, the others in the room all fell into silence. Duan Juan clenched her teeth and said, “Is Yang Jianhua planning to purge all the survivors in Hades Base? How many people could stay alive if he did that? He’s such a… brutal scum!”

She couldn’t even think of a word to describe that cruel, tyrant-like Yang Jianhua.

“No, he’s not going to purge Hades Base. He gave up. He has made an agreement with Long Yubai and decided to move to Earth Dragon Base with all the supplies he can found in Hades Base. Soon enough, the people in the Hades Base will be killed and the base will be destroyed.”

Li Hongsheng shook his head and said in a heavy tone.

Duan Juan stayed silent for a short while and then murmured, “Are we really going to leave this place? Where can we go? Sea City?”

She didn’t want to leave Hades Base even though her home was already destroyed, and she and her friends had to hide outside in the territory of zombies to survive. She had lived in that place for five years, and had been seeing the base as her home.

This group had over twenty people, and not everyone had a superpower. Except for the few kids, seven or eight of them were commoners.

Currently, Duan Juan and Li Hongsheng needed to protect those commoners and kids while searching for food and information. They tried so hard to stay around Hades Base because they wanted to see if there was a chance to go back.

But now, since Yang Jianhua planned to destroy the entire base, the fence wall which was keeping all the zombies away would be the first thing broken. After that, the base would no longer be safe.

“Juan, didn’t we agree to leave?” Hearing her murmur, a little boy held Duan Juan’s hand and asked her a question confusedly. She lowered her head and saw the expectant look in the boy’s eyes. Helplessly, she sighed and nodded.

“Em, we will leave,” she said.

“Where will we go? Will we have food? Will we have blankets?” The boy kept asking more questions. In his eyes, having food, a bed, and a blanket would be the happiest thing in the world.

After all, it was getting cold.

This storage room was underground. So, this place was a little warmer than outside at night.

In fact, the kids and those adult commoners in this room all had some old and dirty quilts, blankets, or thick sweaters. The blankets weren’t enough, so they gathered together at times to keep each other warm.

However, those could only keep them warm temporarily. Fortunately, they were in the South, and the weather was not yet too cold.

Still, all of them were aware that the current situation could not last long, because the air temperature would drop drastically in half a month, and by then, they wouldn’t be able to survive the coldness at night.

Li Hongsheng looked at her and said, “Why don’t we go and find Deputy Chief Yuan and the others? I can’t think of a better way.”

They were able to survive for the short term, but what about the future? They needed a long-term plan, or the others might lose hope.

Duan Juan stayed silent for a few seconds, then nodded.

“If what you said is true, that Yang Jianhua plans to starve all the people in the base to death, we still need to go back and take a look. We need to collect some more food and supplies so we can travel all the way to Sea City.”

Li Hongsheng nodded. After all, going back to the base was the easiest way for them to find the supplies they needed.

“Do you know when will Yang Jianhua and his people leave?” Duan Juan asked.

“Not yet!” Li Hongsheng shook his head.
