CHAPTER 1850: CHAPTER 1843: PEACE AND QUIET

"Hehe." Abeng laughed smugly, and soon another person asked, "And the other one? Didn’t you kill two?"

"The other one was hiding in a slaughterhouse, living off stolen pigs."

"You killed someone just for stealing pigs? Didn’t you check if it could pass inspection?"

"Hey!" Hearing someone doubt him, Abeng, annoyed, retorted, "Your dad here is at least an inspector at the Mother Nest. How could I not know if it could pass inspection? It’s not some tame creature! Previously, many of the new humans who disappeared from Cloud Gorge Base were its doing."

"Uh... alright then."

As the atmosphere quieted down, Tang Ye asked Abeng, "Do these two zombies have anything to do with other Zombie Kings? Why did they come into Cloud Gorge Base?"

"This has nothing to do with the Zombie Kings." Abeng said confidently, "I checked their memories. The one who became the leader of the Independent Gold Society came in out of curiosity about Cloud Gorge Base, and the one hiding in the slaughterhouse just wanted to come in for a big meal because there are many people here. But it was unlucky, just got in and got beaten up, even had its head chopped off."

"No way, who did it?" Hearing what Abeng said, everyone became curious. Who had the courage to directly beat a Level 8 zombie?

"A subordinate of Su Sigui, one named Xu Tianyu and another woman, I’ve seen her, sort of called... Qiuyue? That guy tried to catch people as soon as it came into Cloud Gorge Base, but before it could kidnap anyone, Xu Tianyu saw it. At that time, these two wanted to kill it, didn’t expect it to be a zombie, chopped off its head and thought it was dead, so they didn’t care, afterwards... well~" Abeng shrugged.

"So that’s how it is."

After Abeng finished sharing their encounter, the other people also started talking about their own experiences, which weren’t as thrilling. Except for Abeng’s group who went to trouble the Level 8 zombies right from the start, others like Ah Fu started from easy targets, but they were recalled after clearing only half of the Level 7 zombies.

If it weren’t for Tu-E’s side being fast enough, they couldn’t have brought back a Level 8 zombie’s Evolution Crystal.

"Boss, now the other Zombie Kings might already know about the Spirit Rain Project. This poses a significant threat to them. The lab responsible for the Spirit Rain Project might have been sabotaged by their supporters yesterday. Now there should still be some zombies inside Cloud Gorge Base, right? Leave it to me to investigate." Huang Quanjiu said at this point.

But Tang Ye shook his head, refusing his suggestion, and said, "I understand your concerns, but this time, none of us foresaw this much. I urgently called you all back to avoid breaking any leads, but today’s incident might have drawn the attention of other Zombie Kings. Luckily, Cloud Gorge Base still..." While speaking, Tang Ye swept his perception across Cloud Gorge Base, noting that there were only two Level 8 zombies left in Cloud Gorge Base, and Level 7 zombies weren’t accounted for.

"Only two remaining, no need to trouble you, I’ll handle these two personally. I’m just one person, a smaller target. Anyway, for this period, just eat and drink as you should, keep an eye on Gong Xiao and their situation over there, replace them as needed."

"Alright then."

"Be careful not to alert the enemy. Whatever you encounter, don’t act, just inform Su Sigui’s people and let them handle it."

"Understood," everyone nodded in unison, except for Zhao Boning who looked puzzled.

"Hmm, is there anything else to report?" Tang Ye scanned the room.

"Yes."

"What is it?" Tang Ye looked at Yi Huangcheng, who had spoken. Earlier, Huang Quanjiu and others were still asking where he’d gone after being shot down.

"I encountered Brother Xu..."

"Huh?"

The words that came out of Yi Huangcheng’s mouth immediately changed the atmosphere!

Everyone looked at Yi Huangcheng, their faces filled with disbelief!

Wasn’t it said that Xu Haishui wasn’t in Cloud Gorge Base? How could he say he encountered him, unless...

Not only did the others have very bad suspicions in their hearts, but even Tang Ye himself fell silent.

He looked into Yi Huangcheng’s eyes and asked three words: "Are you sure?"

"I’m sure, he came looking for me." Yi Huangcheng’s tone was firm, he was sure his eyes didn’t deceive him, Xu Haishui indeed appeared before him!

A cold wind blew in from the nearby garage, and everyone, whether zombie or human, felt an inexplicable chill!

Tang Ye did not say anything more, just looked at the others, who immediately understood his meaning, and promptly called out to everyone to leave together.

"Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go find some fun."

"Go, go, go."

"..."

In about a minute, except for Yi Huangcheng, everyone else ran out, and the villa quickly became quiet.

Xu Haishui still being in Cloud Gorge Base only meant he had already escaped Tang Ye’s control! This was serious! It’s an exception in the history of the zombie groups! No one knew if any comrade next to them had already had their vision and perception shared by Xu Haishui!

"Old White, Old Huang, you two stay." After everyone had nearly left, Tang Ye called back the last two out, Huang Quanjiu and Bai Huipeng.

The two immediately stopped when they heard.

"Come with me." Tang Ye got up and led Yi Huangcheng into a private tea room facing west.

After signaling the three of them to sit down, Tang Ye sat in the front chair, hands on the table, with a heavy expression, and said to Yi Huangcheng, "Explain in detail how you encountered Xu Haishui, what he said to you, and how he left."

"Hmm..." Yi Huangcheng nodded, organizing his thoughts in his mind, then slowly began to recount the events before and after he encountered Xu Haishui.

About five minutes later, after recounting how he encountered Xu Haishui, Tang Ye remained silent without speaking. After Yi Huangcheng finished, he looked up and asked, "Don’t you think any of your other relatives are still alive? Such as your parents, siblings, or anyone like that?"

"Huh?" Yi Huangcheng was momentarily stunned but quickly reacted, realizing Tang Ye was suspecting that Xu Haishui had found one of his relatives to make a deal with him, or else he wouldn’t have chosen him.

"I... hiss~" He took a deep breath, finally shook his head, "I don’t know, I can’t say for sure."

"So there is." Seeing Yi Huangcheng say this, Tang Ye directly confirmed. If someone had already confirmed their relatives were still alive, they wouldn’t give such a moderate answer. At least someone Yi Huangcheng cared for was neither dead nor alive!

Yi Huangcheng didn’t say much. He was an only child, and his parents had long been infected and turned into zombies at the beginning of the post-apocalyptic outbreak. The only person left that Xu Haishui could use to bargain with him was just one.

But thinking of that person, he felt some anticipation mixed with anxiety...

"Boss, did Brother Xu really betray us?"

"What do you think?"

"I... when I saw him today, he didn’t look well..."
