Chapter 2171: Mr. Zombie (30)

Chapter 2171: Chapter 2171: Mr. Zombie (30)

With Chuzheng escorting, the speed increased significantly, and they finally arrived at the legendary base with a water source.

The base located by the mountain had been developed to a decent scale.

Seeing the convoy returning, the people in the base were initially happy, but then they spotted the zombies trailing behind.

For a moment, the people in the base turned pale with fear, and the alarm sounded throughout the base.

How did so many zombies come here?

The base leader heard the news and rushed to the defense wall to observe. The lead vehicle was one he recognized that had left their base.

These zombies were following not too far behind, not in a frenzy, as they had imagined.

The base leader was puzzled: "What’s going on?"

"I... I don’t know." The person questioned was equally confused; it had been like this when he saw them, who knew why it happened.

Though the base leader was experienced, he couldn’t panic now and quickly ordered someone to contact the person driving the lead vehicle.

Those people should have noticed the zombies trailing them.

Only they could explain what was happening now.

Xia Li also instructed someone to report back first to avoid scaring the base’s people.

Both sides connected and learned what was happening.

However, the sight of zombies pressing on the base was still difficult to accept.

They had struggled in the apocalypse for so long, only to be suddenly told there’s someone who can control these zombies.

Is anything more shocking than this?

After recovering from initial shock, the base leader quickly ordered people to welcome Xia Li and Chuzheng into the base.

Chuzheng refused to enter the base, stating that negotiations could only occur outside.

"The base leader won’t harm Miss Ji." Xia Li knew Chuzheng was worried, so he spoke up for the base leader: "You can rest assured."

Chuzheng propped her chin and met Xia Li’s gaze through the car window, her voice calm and cold: "Captain Xia, do as I say, don’t bargain with me."

Xia Li felt a chill inexplicably.

Suddenly, he realized that from the outset, she had always stood in an absolute position; they didn’t have the right to negotiate with her.

Xia Li conveyed the message to the base leader.

The base leader personally came down to negotiate with Chuzheng.

"I’ve understood the situation. What does Miss Ji want?" The base leader appeared composed, calm, with only slightly bent, trembling fingers revealing the unrest in his heart.

"Relax, I’m a good person, I won’t do anything to you."

"...Well, I really don’t know if you’re a good person." The base leader praised without hesitation: "Miss Ji has such abilities that can indeed benefit many humans."

Chuzheng slightly reclined in her chair, her posture relaxed and casual: "Let’s make a deal."

"...Let’s hear it," the base leader said.

"I can help you solve the zombie problem, but you’ll need to help me attract the zombies here." Chuzheng paused slightly: "Bringing them here works."

"???"

That’s it?

The base leader had expected Chuzheng to propose an unacceptable condition, but who knew...

If it really is like this, then indeed she can be considered a good person.

However...

"Miss Ji knows how to control these zombies. If it’s truly for everyone’s good, why not teach us?"

"..."

What’s there to teach?

Chuzheng recalled she still had a task concerning the Zombie King, so she restrained herself from speaking rashly.

She enigmatically said: "Do you think everything is so easy?"

"..."

The base leader pondered for a moment, thinking Chuzheng wasn’t entirely unreasonable.

This kind of skill, how could she teach it casually?

"What does Miss Ji want these zombies for then?"

"Do you think I want to kill you? Are the zombies behind me enough?"

The people glanced behind her subconsciously. At ground level, it didn’t seem impressive, but the base leader would never forget the sight from the defense wall.

These zombies were her most formidable weapon.

He had seen zombies destroy a base firsthand.

These zombies were sometimes not as dumb as imagined.

"So, base leader, it’d be better to do as I say; if I really want to do something, you wouldn’t be able to resist."

The base leader’s expression darkened.

She wasn’t here to negotiate.

The base leader’s breathing grew irregular: "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Do as I say, I promise your safety." Chuzheng’s tone was consistently calm: "This deal is very worthwhile."

The young girl paused: "If you have other ideas, I don’t mind making you part of my Little Cuties behind me."

The base leader was stunned by the term "Little Cuties," leaving him speechless for a moment.

-

With the base leader’s difficult expression, he returned to the base, where everyone watched him.

They wanted to know what was happening outside.

They wanted to know if their base could still survive.

Every face flashed before him, with panic, and some with awe.

"Base leader." Xia Li broke this strange atmosphere: "What did she say?"

"She wants the zombies."

"What?" Xia Li didn’t quite understand.

The base leader sighed heavily: "She wants all the zombies sent to her."

Xia Li: "Why?"

The base leader: "..."

He asked.

But she just brushed it off with, ’Don’t ask what shouldn’t be asked, everything’s fine like this.’

"Only zombies?"

"Only zombies."

Xia Li and the base leader both found it strange, why want zombies? What use do they have?

-

Chuzheng settled in a city not far from the base, letting zombies clean up the city.

However...

This task was somewhat challenging.

When zombies rebel, they’re even harder to deal with than troublesome kids.

Having them clean the city was more like letting them demolish it.

Chuzheng was getting a headache.

The zombies, however, were having fun, carrying things and rushing past her, then ’bang!’ the next second, dust flew up behind, causing a commotion.

"Boss...are you sure they can do it?" Zhi Kai and others, stunned, asked aside.

Chuzheng: "..."

I think they can’t.

Chuzheng directed her gaze toward them.

Zhi Kai: "..."

No! We can’t do it either!

This city’s so big, how long will it take to clean it?

Chuzheng once again encircled the base with zombies.

The base leader came out with a tense face: "Miss Ji, we’ll do what you said, but it will take some time..."

"Alright, I’ll hire some people from you."

"..."

What did you say?

Chuzheng waved a hand, and Zhi Kai and Zhao Yingjun huffed and puffed as they dragged boxes over.

Chuzheng opened one at random: "Here’s your payment."

Inside the box were gold bars, nearly blinding the base leader.

The base’s order was already established, but gold wasn’t the currency they used now, it truly was useless.

But could he refuse?

The base leader glanced at the excited zombies behind Chuzheng and felt he couldn’t.
