Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback-Chapter 745 - 398 Probe

The three of them had their suspicions, so they quickened their pace. Before long, they encountered another group of people. Initially, this group was also very cautious, but once they realized that Fang Yuxin and the other two were not advanced zombies, their attitude became much more enthusiastic and less exclusionary than that of people they had met before.

Fang Yuxin and the others took a careful look at these people and noticed that their strength was mostly in the second level middle-late stage, with the leader even reaching the peak of level 2, likely to advance soon. Although this group had only thirty people, and all were women, their relatively amiable demeanor suggested that they were also quite capable and were probably doing well at the base, which could be why they weren’t as petty as some others.

These people were clearly more amicable towards Fang Yuxin, not only because she was a second-level Wood Element Superpower User but also because she was a woman. In the apocalyptic world, women were significantly fewer than men, with elderly and children even scarcer. Most of those who had survived were physically stronger young adults.

Among the surviving women, many, due to physical constraints, had resorted to selling their bodies to stay alive. However, some refused to degrade themselves, struggling and persevering on their own efforts. The women before them clearly belonged to this latter category, so they showed a greater sense of identification when they saw Fang Yuxin.

Seizing the opportunity given their positive attitude, Fang Yuxin inquired, "We came from other places and would like to stay in Beishi Base, but I heard that Beishi Base is already overly saturated and can’t accommodate more survivors. Is that true?"

Upon hearing this, the captain of the squad scoffed disdainfully, "You heard that from other Corpse Hunters, right? Don’t believe them. Beishi Base is a major base. Although it indeed has a large population, many facilities are quite advanced, and the system is relatively fair. It’s not comparable to those smaller bases. Given that all three of you are second-level superpower users, the base would definitely welcome you."

While Beishi Base had many second-level superpower users, the numbers of ordinary people, basic, and level 1 superpower users were even greater. If they had been ordinary people, getting into Beishi Base might have been challenging, but since they were second-level superpower users, the base wouldn’t likely turn them away.

Of course, Fang Yuxin was aware of this situation. She smiled gratefully at the captain and continued to probe, "The base we were previously staying in had only forty to fifty thousand people, and even then there wasn’t enough food. With so many people in Beishi Base, is there really enough food?"

Hearing this, the Corpse Hunters all frowned, and even the captain’s face flashed with uncertainty, but after thinking it over, she still said, "You don’t need to worry about that. Recently, Qiankun Mercenary Group and White Wolf Mercenary Corps joined forces, planning to take over Luyun County nearby. Luyun County has extensive farmlands, and once secured, we won’t have to worry about food issues at the base anymore. You’ve come at the right time; the base is recruiting people these days."

This revelation shocked all three of them! Originally, Bai Zhengyi and Zhao Qiankun had used the assault on Luyun County as an excuse to set a death trap for them. How could it be that more than three months had passed and Luyun County had still not been taken? Moreover, why had Zhao Qiankun again joined forces with Bai Zhengyi? Was he sincere, or was he setting another death trap for someone?

They all wanted to ask, but their current identity as "people from other places" shouldn’t have known about the joint assault on Luyun County by Zhao Qiankun and Bai Zhengyi three months ago. The three exchanged glances, then Bai Ye asked, "Since Luyun County has so much farmland, why attack it only now? With so many people at Beishi Base, and presumably many superpower users, shouldn’t it have been taken over long ago? The weather is so cold now; even if it’s successfully conquered, wouldn’t it be impossible to plant crops? Isn’t the timing a bit off?"

Bai Ye’s pretense was convincing, and the people didn’t suspect a thing. One of the team members even explained with a smile, "Actually, three months ago, White Wolf Mercenary Corps and Qiankun Mercenary Group also joined forces and tentatively attacked Luyun County. However, there was a complication then; Luyun County had too many zombies stationed there, and everyone who went to attack was wiped out, none escaped. So for a long time afterward, no one dared to attack Luyun County again. But this time, it’s said that the timing is perfect, and both White Wolf Mercenary Corps and Qiankun Mercenary Group are well-prepared. When they make their move, it won’t just be them; the remaining mercenary corps and corpse hunting teams will also participate, ensuring Luyun County will be conquered."
