Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback-Chapter 747 - 399 Sudden Attack

After learning about the situation in Beishi City, Fang Yuxin couldn’t help but lament how things had changed beyond recognition. The once-dominant Qu Family and Qin Family had now become vassals of the Bai Family, with all their power swallowed by the White Wolf Mercenary Corps. As for the remaining two major mercenary groups, they had also been taken under the wing of the Qiankun Mercenary Group.

Furthermore, with Zhao Qiankun holding leverage over the Bai Family, this battle was destined sees the Bai Family lose. In light of the joint assault on Luyun County by the White Wolf Mercenary Corps and the Qiankun Mercenary Group, both Fang Yuxin, Bai Ye, and Fang Yuyang felt that this was likely another conspiracy.

However, many days had passed, and the zombies in Luyun County were likely to be largely eradicated, so Zhao Qiankun was probably aiming to kill two birds with one stone, taking down both the Bai Family and Luyun County.

But since they hadn’t yet entered the Beishi Base, all these thoughts were just their speculation; the actual truth would require more information to be unearthed.

The three of them weren’t in a rush; after all, they had plenty of time for their excursion, and it was only the second day. Even if they spent a few days in the Beishi Base, they could afford the delay! Thus, the trio casually chatted with the people around them, subtly gathering more information.

Before long, it was time to eat. Out in the field, with basic conditions and the constant threat of enemy attacks, the team didn’t cook but simply took out compressed biscuits and ate them with water. Fang Yuxin and the others had also prepared some of these base-produced, hunger-resistant biscuits, though they weren’t particularly tasty.

The members of this group were indeed decent people. Initially worried about their food supply, they had inquired gently, but how could Fang Yuxin and the others accept their food? Even though these people led relatively comfortable lives, how could they compare? Hence, the trio also took out the compressed biscuits and water they had prepared earlier and made do with those.

After simply resolving their lunch, the captain led them to hunt zombies nearby. Although the weather was cold, the high population density in Beishi City meant there were relatively more zombies around, occasionally roaming near the base, looking for an opportunity.

Fang Yuxin and the others followed the small team on their mission, initially encountering no danger. The zombies they encountered were in small groups of several or dozens, very scattered, and posed no threat at all. During the fights, the three stayed close together, keeping a slight distance from the others. Since there was no danger, they didn’t reveal their strength.

As the time slowly approached five in the afternoon and the sky began to darken, they were about to head back to the base when they encountered a small team of forty to fifty zombies. As zombies were now scarce, encountering them during outings was challenging. So when this group appeared, the captain and her members hesitated.

After finally encountering so many zombies, they were reluctant to leave them—it was uncertain when they’d encounter them again. Thus, the captain hesitated for a moment, then turned to Fang Yuxin and the others and said, "How about we take down this group of zombies and then head back to the base?"

Having hunted zombies with this team for so long and now familiar with the members, even forming a bond, how could they just leave? Moreover, the number of zombies wasn’t considerable, so the three naturally wouldn’t refuse at such a critical moment and simply nodded in agreement.

The captain clearly breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn’t afraid of the trio leaving; it was just that everyone had developed a bond, and if these individuals weren’t willing to stay, it could be problematic. Now that they had nodded, things would be easier to resolve.

Although the Corpse Hunting Team only consisted of thirty people, plus Fang Yuxin and the two other temporary external members, Fang Yuxin and the others could see that these women were genuinely strong. They were well aware of their strengths and weaknesses, coordinating seamlessly, fully utilizing each person’s strengths while avoiding their weaknesses as much as possible. It was no wonder they could still manage well in the apocalypse without resorting to demeaning themselves like others.

With the addition of Fang Yuxin and the two other external members, the team now had thirty-three people in total, facing a group of forty-eight zombies, almost all second-level. Fang Yuxin and the two other outsiders couldn’t blend into the Corpse Hunting Team during the fight as that would disrupt their coordination. So the three of them simply formed a small team on the side to hunt zombies.
