The next morning, some All Being Base people saw the army escort over a hundred men into a few trucks, and then drive them out of the base. Those men squatted on the trucks with their eyes covered and hands tied behind their bodies. Seeing this, the people got curious.
It had nothing to do with themselves, so they weren’t afraid that things might be too serious.
“What’s going on? Who are those people?”
“I don’t know… Let’s go and ask around about it!”
“I’m gonna ask my friend. He’s serving in the army. I think he knows something!”
…
Soon, some people started to hear things.
“Oh, I heard that those people were up to no good since they arrived at the base. They seemed to be planning on selling the information about our farm to the other bases. They’ve been secretly trying to learn about our farm ever since they got here.”
“There’s more! I heard that they had their eyes on our pretty Chief lady, and that they attempted to do something bad. Obviously, they failed…”
“Them? How dare they covet our Chief! Didn’t they think about why this base was built here? Who would have the guts to build a base here without a solid strength? This zombie city may not be as horrible as the ones in the South, but this area used to be crowded too!”
“I guess now all of them have gotten arrested…”
While the other people were all curious about what exactly had happened, Liu Wan’s people were utterly uneasy. They tried very hard to prove their innocence, that they didn’t know about Liu Wan’s plan.
“I think they’ll be thrown out of the base this time. I wonder how long they’ll survive out there, since they have no food or weapons.”
“They deserve it! These are all Hidden Cloud City Base people! They deserve to die!” said a man from Hades Base.
Recently, many new people had joined the base. The people from Hades Base were aware that was inevitable, so they had slowly accepted that fact. However, the hatred in their hearts hadn’t faded.
So, seeing those Hidden Cloud City Base being driven out of the base, almost all Hades Base people were happy.
In the medical department, Zuo Chen fell asleep last night and never woke up. Soon, the doctor gave a report, saying there was no way to remove the toxin from his body, and that he died because of it.
Three trucks had sent those people out of the safe zone, then dumped them near the Zoo in West Lake District.
Yun Meng, Four, Five, Six and Old Guo showed up in front of them and said, “You have been banished for threatening the safety of or base and selling confidential information of the base. All Beings Base will no longer welcome you!”
Those were only the official words. The base could not take their lives for the listed crimes, but could only banish them. They could choose to join another base; but if no base wanted them, their only way of survival would be by becoming robbers.
Normally, a base would dig through people’s backgrounds before accepting them. Not everyone could be accepted by a base.
Xie Dong had done the background checking for almost all current residents in All Beings Base. Many of them were from Hidden Cloud City Base and Earth Dragon Base. Most people were welcomed by the base, as long as they had done no evil deeds or threatened another base before.
Some might skip the background check, but that would depend on how capable he or she was.
Yun Meng finished talking, then turned and said to her friends, “Let’s head back.”
The group of men who were dumped there didn’t make any sound, but only kept their postures and waited for All Beings Base people to leave. What they didn’t know was that after Yun Meng and her people had left, countless zombies showed up quietly in all directions and slowly surrounded them, then stood there and waited silently.
Hearing the sounds of the vehicles going further and further away, some of those people couldn’t help but begin moving. They took off the covers on their heads or eyes, then saw a huge, terrifying crowd of zombies.
“Ahhhhh!”
“Roar!”
“Roar…” The zombies rushed up at those people once they heard the screams, as if they had received an order at that moment.
“How dare you come back here?” With surprise, Liu Jun looked at the man who was in a bad shape.
Huo Antong looked at her coldly and said, “You did know what I wanted from you. That’s why you avoided my topics. Were you fooling me around?”
She knew everything but pretended not to know anything, only watched him do what he did. She must be laughing at him on the inside. She must have been seeing him like an idiot!
Huo Antong glared at Liu Jun and clenched his teeth. Veins throbbed in his temples because he was angry.
Liu Jun looked at his wrathful face and said with a cold smile, “What? You didn’t get the level-five zombie nucleus, so you’re now blaming me for it? Why don’t you think about whether you’ve trusted the wrong people? Before you decide to work for someone, you need to know if he’s capable enough to achieve his goal.”
The scornfulness in Liu Jun’s eyes infuriated Huo Antong. “If I’m not good, you won’t be good either! If you still want your son to stay alive, bring me three level-five zombie nuclei. Believe me, that’s all I want. You give me the nuclei and I’ll give you your son, or… don’t blame me for having no mercy.”
After saying that, Huo Antong grinned with a fierce look in his eyes.
On hearing that, Liu Jun paused briefly in shock. She didn’t show her worry on her face, but stayed composed and said, “My son is fine. You think I’d believe you?”
No wonder she hadn’t been sensing Tongtong’s scent for a while. Did the man really kidnap him?
Earlier on, Liu Jun found that Tongtong wasn’t around her, so she looked for him. She spent a while but didn’t see the boy, not even sensing the boy’s scent. As she was getting a little worried, Huo Antong showed up in a corner.
“Believe me or not, you have three days. If you don’t get me what I want in three days, I’ll send your son back to you part by part,” Huo Antong laughed viciously as brutality radiated from his eyes, and his vibe grew fierce.
After saying that, he disappeared without a trace.
He didn’t know that Liu Jun didn’t panic after he left. On the contrary, she calmed down.
If he had Tongtong, she would be able to trace his scent and find the boy.
However, even before she did that, Xie Dong already had the boy held in his arms. “Will you leave your mom’s side without telling her ever again? Your Mom might spank you for that!” Xie Dong said to Tongtong expressionlessly with a gentle voice. He was worried that his dry and hoarse voice might scare the little boy, so he talked as gently as he could.
