CHAPTER 1212: CHAPTER 286: I’VE NEVER SEEN THIS KIND OF ZOMBIE BEFORE

Qiao Wei didn’t even think about it and directly told them, as long as you want it, I’ll step back, and I will absolutely have no second thoughts.

He was a smart person, knowing that some things can be fought for, and some things aren’t worth it, even if you have ideas, they can’t be implemented. It might seem like you have a good grip on things, but when it’s time to act, you realize just how foolish your actions were.

"No, we didn’t come back to take over this place." Pang Yuan said.

Their goal, unlike Ji Qiuyue’s, wasn’t about these matters. This is something ambitious people do. All along, what they have been doing is searching for survivor locations or organizational positions.

"Then what is your purpose?" Qiao Wei looked at them in surprise.

Aside from this situation, he couldn’t think of their purpose.

Pang Yuan didn’t speak but waited for Ji Qiuyue to talk. After all, in many situations, within their team, it’s Ji Qiuyue who calls the shots. At most, he is only a fighter.

And even as a fighter, his combat strength wasn’t as good as the others.

Qiao Wei also noticed Pang Yuan’s situation. His gaze settled on Ji Qiuyue, knowing that what would be said next was definitely going to be important.

Ji Qiuyue said, "I suspect there’s a problem with this gathering place; there’s an organization lurking behind it."

Upon hearing this.

Qiao Wei showed considerable surprise, even finding it a bit unbelievable, as if he didn’t expect the other party to state such a reason, he couldn’t help but laugh.

"I think you might be mistaken, I have control over this place, yet I haven’t come into contact with any organization, I’m not lying to you about this."

Ji Qiuyue replied, "I know you haven’t deceived us, but some matters, even if you control this place, you might find it hard to know."

"Uh..."

Qiao Wei watched Ji Qiuyue, then fell into silent contemplation, but couldn’t think of anything strange.

Ji Qiuyue asked, "What is your greatest goal in living in the apocalypse?"

"To survive." Qiao Wei answered without a moment’s hesitation.

Ji Qiuyue responded, "Actually, you have other ways to survive; Sunshine Shelter is safer and more peaceful than you imagine, there’s not even any conflict."

Qiao Wei shook his head, "Survival is only a goal. More importantly, it’s about living with dignity in the apocalypse, having power. Chaos breeds heroes; some may want to live ordinarily, but I don’t."

When saying these words, a certain ambition gleamed in Qiao Wei’s eyes.

Ji Qiuyue didn’t agree with what he said, shaking her head, "The apocalypse will end; when you look back then, you’ll find everything was just fleeting, why cling to these things."

"Haha..." Qiao Wei couldn’t help but laugh, "The apocalypse will end? I don’t believe it. Society’s order has crumbled, survivors are few, yet zombies are countless. I’d sooner believe that tomorrow’s sun will explode than believe the apocalypse will end."

He knew Pang Yuan and Ji Qiuyue were associated with Lin Fan from Huang City and thought to himself that these two were truly brainwashed by Lin Fan, unable to see reality, living as if in a dream.

He admitted Lin Fan was strong, but to say ending the apocalypse, that would mean clearing out all zombies.

Is that possible?

Clearly, it’s impossible.

If zombies could only survive a month without feeding on humans, then he might believe that one day all the zombies in the world would disappear.

But the zombies now don’t need to feed on humans. They have the ability to evolve and replenish the energy they need, they are unreasonable creatures.

How can they be wiped out?

Ji Qiuyue shook her head, choosing not to continue the discussion on this topic; disbelief on others is their matter, she merely said what needed to be said.

Some things when looked back upon it later, it’ll become evident that everything said was true.

"Alright, we don’t need to continue this conversation. I want to ask if after you took over this shelter, have you encountered any strange things or people?"

In the recent exchange, Ji Qiuyue had already ascertained Qiao Wei’s situation; he’s an ambitious and thoughtful Awakener but was sincere in what he said.

If Qiao Wei knew, he would certainly think, wasn’t what you said all pointless, what’s to deceive between us, just being frank, if you want this place, just say it, I’ll step back willingly, as your strength leaves me powerless.

A wise man submits to circumstances; knowing when to let go, lest you lose your life.

"Well, there was a guy claiming to be the first pioneer here, but it’s ridiculous because he was just an ordinary person, hard to imagine how an ordinary person kept this place running, toyed with a group of Awakeners at will."

As Qiao Wei mentioned this, he couldn’t help but laugh. Suddenly, his expression became serious, recalling what Ji Qiuyue had just said about strange things and people.

Then isn’t that guy the one in question?

And an ordinary person controlling a group of Awakeners sounds more like a strange occurrence.

Ji Qiuyue noted Qiao Wei’s serious demeanor, apparently realizing he had thought of something, yet she didn’t comment further, awaiting for Qiao Wei himself to voice his doubts.

At this moment.

Qiao Wei called toward the door, "Zhuzi, come in."

"Bro, what’s up?"
