A Quarrel with Lieutenant General Lin, And A Joint Discussion

"No, the Lingjiang River alone is not enough to defend against a single high-level zombie. What we have to guard against is a zombie attack!"

However, Yun Che met his gaze and shook his head, and then he uttered a mission that was even more scary.

"A zombie attack?!"

Everybody again exclaimed in unison. If it was three months ago, they might not have known what the zombie attack was, but the encounter in the Coast more than two months ago had made them clearly aware how horrendous the zombie attack was. Although until now they were not clear how the crisis in the Coast was resolved, it seemed to be related to the two people in front of them. However, they had never thought that one day the tragic situation of zombie attack would happen in their base. No, to be exact, it was not that they had never thought of it, but they did not dare to think. It was simply horrible!

"Yes, a zombie attack. Do not underestimate zombies with IQ. Those high-level zombies are able to manipulate those low-level ones. Once they call for their companions, a zombie attack will happen in any minute. We can't give them that chance. At the moment, it seems that building the base's wall to the river bank is indeed a bit costly, but in the long run, it's definitely worth it. Without a wide terrain, the zombies can't gather, and even if they do, there won't be too many of them, and our base will certainly be strong enough to deal with them. The Lingjiang River is our most natural defense. It will be such a waste if we don't know how to utilize it."

Though Yun Che did not put it in a polite way, if you think about it calmly, it did make sense. As long as the base's wall was built to the river bank, even if the zombies really came, they only needed to guard against the zombies coming from the left and right flank in the front. The number of zombies coming over the bridge was bound to be limited, so even if they really made their way to the wall, the superfunction possessors could easily eliminate them.

"Captain Yun, how can you be sure that there will be a zombie attack? Maybe you are simply overthinking about everything, and then the human and material resources we invest will be in vain."

Everyone remained in silence to evaluate the situation, and then Lin Hongzhi spoke again. Wei Kan, who was sitting next to him, subconsciously frowned. Without waiting for him to think about what he said, Xing Feng started to speak, "You can choose not to believe. As Che has said earlier, the base is not ours, and even if one day it is breached by zombies, we are able to retreat safe and sound with our ability, and then we can find another base, or simply build a base of our own."

This was something nobody dared to speak except Xing Feng and Yun Che. And even if they talked about it, no one would believe. However, those present were very clear that they were indeed capable to. Regardless of the amount of resources Xing Feng had transported into Chaoyang Community before the doomsday, the resources they had raised in the half year since the doomsday were probably no less than what the military had raised. Besides, he had Yun Che, whose Space was large beyond measurable. The combination of these two men was able to build a small but absolutely solid base.

"No way. Captain Xing, I know that you and your squad are very strong, but don't you forget that there are still many ordinary people in Chaoyang, as well as the research institute that you managed to get from us. You can retreat in one piece, but can you guarantee that they will also be unharmed?"

It was precisely because he knew that they had the power to do so that Lin Zhihong challenged them. Let alone Xing Feng and Yun Che, even the members of Wei Army couldn't help but frown. They were discussing about the issue concerning the base, so why was he talking about the personal grudges again? What the hell was wrong with the people of the Lin Family. They didn't look stupid, but why were they as dumb as pigs as soon as they encounter Xing Feng and Yun Che?

"Haha – then let's see what will happen. If you guys think that the Southwest Base is safe and that a zombie attack will never happen, then we have nothing more to say. Sorry to disturb your morning meeting."

After the words fell, Yun Che propped both hands on the edge of the table and pushed his chair away, while Xing Feng also tacitly stood up.

"Will you two stop it? The Wei Army can't represent the whole base. This is such an important matter, so let's sit down and take time to discuss it."

Seeing this, Lin Hongzhi's face immediately went sullen, while others stood up nervously. Mo Wenyang did not even want to pay any attention to them. Damn retard. Even if there was no zombie attack, expanding the base was not bad for them. What was the matter with the Wei Army that they had to be the bottleneck every time? If they really wished nothing good for the base, then take their soldiers and get lost, so as not to cause further trouble for the others or make others pissed.

"Mr. Mo is right, Captain Feng, Captain Yun, this is a major event concerning the whole base, rather than something that can be decided by a single man. We know that you want it for the best of the base. Please, for the sake of us the Wang Army, let's discuss how to do it properly."

Wang Wei also hurriedly agreed, and he couldn't help cursing the ancestors of Lin Hongwei in his heart. It was all because of this idiot that he, a commander-in-chief of the army, had to grovel.

"Come on, escort the commissar back to rest."

Wei Kan, who had been wearing a grave face for a long time, did not bother to be polite and directly ordered his guards. Lin Zhihong stared incredulously, "Wei, you…"

"Did you not hear what I said? Escort the commissar back."

"Yes!"

Without giving him a chance to speak, Wei Kan widened his eyes and he looked extremely aggressive. The guards no longer dared to hesitate and both of them went forward. Lin Hongzhi took a long stare at the side of Wei Kan's face before he got up and left with a grunt.

"Bang!"

The door of the meeting room was slammed with a deafening sound, and the two guards following behind almost had their noses broken. Then they hurriedly pulled open the door to chase after him.

"Sorry, Lieutenant General Lin has not been himself since Lin Xian disappeared. Captain Xing, Captain Yun, please don't take it to heart."

It was only after the meeting room became quiet again that Wei Kan smiled. Deliberately mentioning Lin Xian was also a kind of probe, but unfortunately, Xing Feng did not even raise his eyebrows. However, Yun Che said in mock surprise, "Major General Lin is missing? When did it happen? How come I haven't heard of it? No wonder it's been a long time since the last time I saw him."

He acted like he really didn't know, and Wei Kan and the Wei Army present couldn't tell whether he was pretending it or not. In any case, as it was said, they couldn't do anything without evidence.

"He disappeared during the plague of rats, so he might have been gnawed by the zombie rats."

This was not impossible, as a lot of people were gnawed by the zombie rats at that time. Personally, Wei Kan wished it to be true, as in that case, at least there would be no retaliation against anyone, which would cause a stir in the base. After all, anyone who dared to lay his hands on Lin Xian should at least be someone like Xing Feng and Yun Che, or someone even more powerful like those from the three armies and the government. None of them were easy to deal with.

"Then it's really an unexpected disaster. My condolences!"

Yun Che also nodded somewhat helplessly. He and Xing Feng were the only ones knew about the truth, but they did it cleanly, so no one was ever to find any evidence.

"Forget it, it's all in the past. About the base expansion as you guys suggested, can we continue the discussion?"

Waving his hand, Wei Kan tentatively looked at the two. Xing Feng and Yun Che exchanged a look and finally sat back again. The crowd was unanimously relieved. Today if they were really allowed to go like that, they might just pack up and leave the Southwest Base for other bases, or they would simply establish a base out of their own.

"I think we can give Captain Yun's proposal a try. The snow disaster and the rat problem must still be fresh in our mind, right? If we wait until something happens and then to remedy it, it may be too late. And currently, the base is indeed a bit overcrowded, so if we can expand the base to the Lingjiang River in one go, we can move the base's headquarters over and utilize the houses in the city. In the back, we need the superfunction possessors of earth to put in some hard work to prepare the land for agriculture. In that way, it will be more conducive to the long-term development of the base. "

Seeing the situation, Wang Guoan quickly started on the topic. They had actually considered expanding the base to the Lingjiang River, but they hadn't thought about it so thoroughly

"Well, Guoan is right, but it will also be a problem if nothing can grow from the ground."

While nodding in approval, Wang Wei looked at Xing Feng and Yun Che meaningfully, obviously wanting to dig the secret of how they managed to harvest in their land.

None of those present were stupid and they all looked over in unison as they heard the words. Xing Feng and Yun Che would be able to notice it even if they had lost all their senses. The two of them exchanged a look and Yun Che chuckled, "As for the problem that nothing grows out of the land, I can solve it, but if the Wanan District is cleaned up and you really want to move into the city, then you have to promise to gift the area from Chaoyang to the whole Section C to us. We have no intention of moving."

The Chaoyang Community was located in the west of the base against the wall of the base; outside the wall was the mountain range, and it was directly opposite to the Section C. If they could get Section C, the whole area could be connected, then they would have more space to move around, which would make it more convenient for them to operate. As for the city, he did not even think about moving there, as high-rise buildings in the city did not appeal to him at all.

"Well…"

Wang Wei couldn't help but hesitate. It was not that he was reluctant to give away Section C. If the city was really cleared, it would definitely be more convenient to live there. The main reason was that they had dealt with Yun Che for many times and they were always at a disadvantage every time. Therefore, even if this business sounded not at all conspiratorial, he didn't dare to agree easily.

"Okay, as long as we can grow something out from the land."

In contrast, Wei Kan manned up this time, grinded his teeth and agreed to his conditions. Even if there was really any conspiracy, he didn't care. Only when they could grow crops in the land would they have a future.

"I'm OK with it as well."

They were families so Mo Wenyang certainly would not oppose. Wan Guoqiang thought for a while and then nodded along, "No problem. We can issue a certificate to you, but first you also have to guarantee that crops will grow out from the land."

The politicians were always different, as they loved to add a 'but' to everything so they could be sure.

"Haha – okay, but in order to grow crops in the land, you must build greenhouses. You have to figure out where to find the bamboo and film needed by yourselves. Also, inside each greenhouse, you must dig out reservoirs and install fully automatic water sprinkling equipment. As long as these requirements are satisfied, I can guarantee that crops will grow in the land."

Yun Che gave a wee smile. Although it required quite a bit effort, it would be a good deal if they could get the whole Section C in exchange.

"One more thing, Captain Feng, if you guys are really going to live in the back of the base in the future, when any crisis arises in the front, I hope you guys will step in to help us in time instead of pretending that you have no idea what is happening."

As they were about to reach an agreement, Wang Guoan added another condition. Although the squad of Chaoyang and Peak was outnumbered by the military, their combat capability was there for all to see. Meanwhile, though there was no definite evidence, he always felt that they had a part in resolving the crisis of zombie attack in the Coast. If that was really the case, they would have to depend on them in the future.
