Chapter 94: The Fierce Dragon Crossing the River
Chapter 94: The Fierce Dragon Crossing the River
However, all of this is based on the original text from the book, which has certainly changed quite a bit. Just days ago, Su Chen was able to gather thousands of people near Xiacheng to attack the fortress, and Ye Zian didn't believe that the Xiacheng base had not contributed to this.
Given that they could send thousands of ordinary people to assist Su Chen in attacking his fortress, the current scale was hard to say.
As the Hummer traveled along the highway, Ye Zian noticed something strange.
The surroundings were unnaturally quiet, with only a few scattered zombies wandering on the road, which were swiftly taken down by other survivor teams. Surprisingly, many survivors were even walking towards the Xiacheng base.
Ye Zian murmured, "What's going on? It seems the zombies in the urban area of Xiacheng have disappeared without a trace."
Since returning from Xiacheng University, Ye Zian had assigned the intelligence team to focus on the outskirts, with Wang Yan and her group of outsourced members guarding the Xiacheng Bridge. As long as there were no large hordes of zombies coming from the island, there was no need for him to intervene.
He hadn't expected that just over ten days would bring such drastic changes to the urban area.
If there were no zombie threats, the Xiacheng base likely had tens of thousands of survivors by now.
As the Hummer approached its destination, the walls of the Xiacheng base came into view.
Although they were referred to as walls, they were merely constructed from hundreds of stacked shipping containers, blocking the only access road to the hill, leaving just enough space for two vehicles to pass.
On the hillside was a large residential area, while the summit housed the villas of the former wealthy families of Xiacheng, including the Ye and Liu families, which now served as the residences of the core management personnel of the Xiacheng base.
In the Liu family villa, Liu Sisi suddenly awoke, sensing two familiar auras approaching. Her psychic energy instantly scanned the entire Xiacheng base.
A smile crept across her face.
Interesting. I planned to surprise you in a few days, but it seems you've come to me instead.
However, most of the zombies were in the midst of mutation and would take at least three more hours. Liu Sisi suppressed the hatred within her and continued to conceal her aura in the Liu family home. Yet through her psychic energy, she had already instructed her zombies to prepare for battle.
At the base's entrance, several tents were set up to separate male and female survivors for inspection.
Two fully armed security teams were checking the survivors for any signs of zombie bites, occasionally yelling at them. After the inspection, survivors had to wait for half an hour to ensure they had not mutated before they were allowed to ascend to the Xiacheng base.
Ye Zian drove the Hummer directly to the entrance. Almost immediately, an irritable guard approached, speaking arrogantly, "Vehicles are prohibited from driving up the mountain. All passengers must disembark for inspection."
When he recognized Ye Zian's face, the mockery on his face deepened. "What's this? The chairman of the Ye Corporation, and yet you still have to listen to me?"
As his gaze fell upon Lin Qianqian and Liu Qinghuan in the back seat, his expression shifted to one of shock, turning into excitement in an instant.
Having such beautiful women, although he could never hope to possess them, he figured that if he told Wang Shao inside the base about this, he would certainly gain significant benefits.
Moreover, he could take advantage of the inspection to score some small perks.
However, in the next moment, the guard was blasted away by a fireball that Ye Zian casually hurled, his body exploding into pieces.
The bloody scene sent the surrounding survivors fleeing in terror.
Ye Zian shot a cold glare at the guard at the entrance, his icy gaze making the man tremble. He shook uncontrollably as he pressed the button to open the gate.
Though it was against protocol, his life was more important.
Just as the iron gate began to open, it was shattered by Ye Zian's power. He drove the Hummer directly onto the winding road leading up the mountain.
With his foot on the gas, Ye Zian sped toward the villa area at the top.
What rules? In front of an ability user, they meant nothing, especially for someone like Ye Zian, who could kill without hesitation.
The other guards breathed a sigh of relief as Ye Zian left, their gazes turning to the shattered remains of the guard, filled with pity.
Within the base, there were tens of thousands of survivors, but only seven were ability users, each a dominant figure in the base. One could only wonder whether that guard had been fortunate or unfortunate, especially when encountering such a decisive ability user.
Ye Zian used his psychic link to notify Huiko, who remained at the fortress, instructing Zhao Wanrong to bring the fortress directly to the Xiacheng base.
Although he didn't know Taro Honda's precise location, he had gathered the appearances of the Eastern Empire's members from the memories of Yukio Takeda. He had already sketched their portraits based on those recollections.
Initially, he planned to interact with them as an ordinary person, but it seemed unnecessary now.
Based on the plot from the book, Ye Zian estimated that the Xiacheng base was still in its early development stages, and at most, there were only a few thousand survivors. He thought that with just the three of them investigating, they could flush out Taro Honda hidden within the base in a few days without alerting them. However, judging by the long lines of survivors, it was clear that the base now housed at least tens of thousands of people, making it a daunting task for just three individuals to find Taro Honda.
Thus, Ye Zian changed his plan. Not wanting to waste time, he decided to charge straight into the Xiacheng base with the fortress.
As for himself, he would go after the king.
Receiving Ye Zian's orders in her mind, Huiko quickly relayed the message to Zhao Wanrong.
Zhao Wanrong, shedding her usual dignified demeanor, donned a set of armor she had obtained yesterday and issued commands with a commanding presence: "All team members assemble and prepare to head to the Xiacheng base."
The massive fortress began to ascend smoothly, without the violent shaking experienced the day before.
The advantages and disadvantages of the Xiacheng base were apparent; there was only one road for vehicles to ascend or descend the mountain. If they managed to secure that route, they would be safe. However, if the entrance or exit were blocked, they would be trapped on the mountain.
Ye Zian parked the Hummer right in front of the Wang family villa.
Before the apocalypse, Xiacheng was divided among three prominent families: the official Wang family, the commercial Ye family, and the underworld Liu family.
The city lord's residence within the Xiacheng base was located in the Wang family villa.
As Ye Zian stepped out of the car, three figures approached the Wang family.
Wang Rui, arm around two beautiful women, was laughing as he headed back home.
Seeing a Hummer parked at the entrance, Wang Rui's temper flared. Who dared to drive such a luxury vehicle at the Xiacheng base?
Upon noticing Ye Zian standing beside two stunning women, his jaw nearly dropped.
It was a clear case of one man and two women, and he felt overshadowed.
Wang Rui cautiously asked, "Isn't this Brother Zian? What brings you to my Wang family?"
Ye Zian replied nonchalantly, "I need your family's assistance with a few matters."
Oh, so you're asking for help, Wang Rui thought, instantly changing his demeanor as he greedily eyed the two women behind Ye Zian, speaking in a threatening tone, "How about you leave this car and these two ladies with me? I'll take care of your issue in return."
