Yan Xiao wrote, ‘I can’t tell you that. But, I am representing the base. You didn’t betray the base, so we are responsible for your safety.’
Reading that, Qin Yu immediately understood Yan Xiao’s meaning. If her enemies weren’t from another base, Yan Xiao might not show up to help her.
In a good way, Yan Xiao was there to help her and her friends, but in a bad way, she was there watching them. If she agreed to work with Sky Fire Base people, she might be added to the killing list of All Beings Base once she achieved an agreement with those people and sold the secrets of All Beings Base.
Most people had learned about the hidden rules among all the bases.
Qin Yu pressed her lips together slightly and then asked, “Where are my teammates? I believe that they wouldn’t betray the base. Besides, they don’t know anything.”
Yan Xiao stretched her hand, which was holding the pen, then wrote, ‘Don’t worry, they are all fine! But, they witnessed how we fought the battle, so they need to sign a confidential agreement now. You need to be their guarantor.’
Qin Yu paused briefly, then asked with confusion, “I understand that you want to keep your way of fighting secret, but why do you want me to be the guarantor? I don’t know anything, do I?”
She didn’t witness that so-called way of fighting. Why did she need to be the guarantor?
Yan Xiao smiled and wrote, ‘That’s for double security. Don’t worry! As long as you keep the secret well, they will be fine, and so will you.”
Qin Yu was forcibly dragged into the whole thing because she was the team leader. If her teammates intended to leak the secret about All Beings Base, they would have to think about Qin Yu’s safety before doing that.
For her own safety, Qin Yu, of course, wouldn’t let her teammates leak the secret. So, the secret would be doubly secured.
It was probably unfair for Qin Yu and the other victims who had been held hostage by Sky Fire Base people, but that confidential method was necessary for the safety of the entire base.
As long as Qin Yu and her people kept the secret of the base, the base would surely protect them from being harmed by the other bases.
Qin Yu stayed silent for a short while and then said, “Alright, I’ll sign it. But… am I allowed to know about that so-called way of fighting of yours? After all, I’m going to be a guarantor, yet I don’t know anything at all. Isn’t that a little unfair?”
She understood what it was for, and the woman with sunglasses looked friendly. Therefore, she gradually accepted her current situation.
Yan Xiao gave her a glance, then wrote, ‘I can make an application for you about that if you are willing to join our army.”
“The army?” Qin Yu was a little stunned.
She was a zombie hunter, and zombie hunters were free. They were like mercenaries in the old world. They willingly accepted all kinds of missions from the base, and accomplished them to get paid. They had the right to choose their missions.
They would lose that right if they chose to join the army. After all, the army had strict rules, and the missions were assigned by the leaders. The soldiers were given no other choice but to accomplish their missions.
Therefore, the people who were capable but liked freedom were normally unwilling to join the armies.
If she didn’t go through what happened earlier, Qin Yu would, of course, not want to join the army. But now, she was going to be forced to sign an agreement that she didn’t even know what it was for. By doing that, she would be bonded together with the base. She was still allowed to continue her life as a free zombie hunter, but in that case, she would be living under someone else’s watch.
In the army, she and her people would be disciplined, but their positions would change. They would know much more than they could as zombie hunters. And the more they knew, the clearer they could see their current situation. In fact, anything had two sides; it depended on which side people would like to accept.
Qin Yu seemed to be struggling. Seeing the look on her face, Yan Xiao smiled knowingly and then wrote, ‘You don’t need to make the decision now. You can think about it first. You’ll be discharged by the hospital in three days. I’ll expecting to hear your answer by then.’
While speaking, she took out a confidential agreement from behind her and handed it to Qin Yu.
The latter took it over and read it, then took over the pen from Yan Xiao’s hand and signed her name on it.
After watching her sign the agreement, Yan Xiao left the room.
On the other side of the base, Mo, Dou Yunfan, and Sun Lunan were kept in an interrogation room. They weren’t allowed to leave, but were provided with rather good living conditions. Each of them had a single bed with clean sheets, a desk, and a chair. There was also a bathroom in the room.
However, none of them had spare attention for the room at the moment. Apart from the three of them, a few others were also sitting in the room. And those were a few zombies!
“So, do you have any other questions?” Six sat on a chair as he looked at the three of them. Beside him, Nine was eying the three people greedily, seemingly about to pounce on them at any moment.
Standing by the door were two level-four zombies.
“You… you…” Dou Yunfan looked at Six with disbelief. He was so shocked earlier. But now, he had managed to calm down a little. Mo Qiqi stayed calm and cold. From the beginning till now, all that could be detected from her face was a slight pupil-shrinking.
It was the very first time Dou Yunfan and Sun Lunan saw a talking zombie, so they could barely react at that moment. What the zombie said to them was very informative, so they needed time to process it.
Six had said what he needed to say. The content of his speech was similar to what Yan Xiao had said to Qin Yu. Mo Qiqi and her people had discovered about their zombie nature, so Six talked to them more straightforwardly than Yan Xiao did with Qin Yu.
He stood up and put six copies of two different agreements on the table as he said, “If you want to leave, simple. Sign these two agreements and then you will be free to go. But of course, you can think about my suggestion. You’ll be paid well in the army.”
After saying that, he dragged the drooling Nine to the door. After he left, the two level-four zombies at the door only closed the door, but didn’t lock it.
They didn’t need to lock the door. For Mo Qiqi and her people, the level-four zombie soldiers who were standing in straight lines outside worked much better than an iron door lock!
Dou Yunfan rubbed his face and erased the stunned look from his face, then said, “So, this is a zombie base, isn’t it?”
Sun Lunan was a little more composed than he was. He thought for a moment and then said, “You can say that. But, I think they are protecting the human residents in the base. That Chief lady is actually able to control those zombies. How amazing!”
Mo Qiqi walked to the desk and attempted to pick up those agreements. However, she hesitated and paused before her fingers touched those papers.
Would she get infected by touching the papers that were touched by that zombie?
