Chapter 410: The Second Batch Of Workers

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The second batch of workers from Sea City Base were all frightened when they saw the zombie crowd around the new base site on their way driving there.

Countless zombies crowded on the road, jamming the entire area.

“Why… Why are there so many zombies?”

“Oh my! What if they found us? What should we do? If they all charge at us, we’d be eaten!”

The workers stopped their vehicle about thirty meters from the zombie crowd and all panicked.

Huang Tianfei, who was hiding among the workers, also fixed his eyes on the zombie crowd in shock.

The zombies had turned their heads to the vehicle when they heard the noises from it. Sensing the strong human scent, the zombies all became agitated.

“Roar!”

“Roar!”

The zombies roared at the humans as they reached their arms and bared their teeth toward them. But strangely, they didn’t make even a step to approach those humans.

“Drive back! We’re not going! Are you feeding us to zombies!” Huang Tianfe burst in yells.

He pulled some strings to conceal his identity as a level-five superpowered man and made his way into the worker group.

After confirming that those Hades Base people were really building a new base in this area, Wu Chengyu felt that this was a really good opportunity for the commoners who didn’t dare to venture to leave the base to kill zombies.

He set a power level limit for the applicants, because he didn’t want the higher-leveled people, who were capable enough to go out of the base to hunt zombies and trade for food with zombie nuclei, to take the opportunities of survival which should belong to the commoners.

The new base made great offers. The people who worked there would be provided with food and good payments, but only needed to do some construction work. Anyone would want a job like that.

However, the power-level limit that Wu Chengyue set disappointed the higher-leveled people. Without a doubt, many people would follow this rule, but there were some who decided not to. For example, the ones who liked to reap what they hadn’t sown.

Huang Tianfei was one of them. He secretly pulled strings to conceal his true power level. So now, he was one of those workers, as a level-two superpowered man.

At this time, the hundreds of zombies which were crowding before his eyes scared him and made him want to run. He regretted, feeling that he should never have come here. He now believed that the others were all deceived.

Huang Tianfei pointed at those soldiers who were there to protect the workers and yelled, “They lied to us! There must be some kind of experimental base in this place! This is not a survivors base! They brought us here to do experiments on us, like what Yang Chao did before!”

Those soldiers who guarded behind and around the vehicle made no reaction to Huang Tianfei’s accusation, as if they didn’t hear him at all.

Du Yuanxing got out of the driver’s seat and stood before the vehicle as he said to the people in it, “Everyone calm down. We are heading to a survivors base. These zombies, look at them, they won’t hurt people. Look at them closely. They are not moving.”

While speaking, he raised a hand to point at the zombie crowd.

“How can they possibly not hurt people? All zombies eat human beings! Do you think we have never seen zombies? Do you think that we’re stupid?” Huang Tianfei shouted at Du Yuanxing as he refused to accept the latter’s explanation.

“Yeah, how can any zombie not eat human being! Look at them! They’re brandishing their teeth and claws! They’re coming at us! Just drive away! Why are you still talking here?” Someone agreed with Huang Tianfei.

Most of those people were commoners who had no fighting capacity. They all panicked upon seeing the zombies. They found Huang Tianfei’s words making sense, so they all decided to take his side.

Du Yuanxing looked at those people, then abruptly crossed his arms and smiled, “Alright, I’ll let you go back. However, are you sure that you’d be able to survive the coming winter if I sent you back? If you’re willing to follow me in, get off the car right now and I’ll guide you in. I assure you that these zombies won’t even approach you. But, if you decide to stay in the truck, you will not be allowed in later.”

Many people from the slums would die every winter after the apocalypse. It was hard for the old, sick, and disabled people to survive a winter with all the starvation and coldness.

Therefore, every spring when the weather started to get warm, each base would ship out a batch of corpses.

Winter served as a cleaner to clean the people with low survivability out of the bases.

As Du Yuanxing mentioned winter, some of the people in the truck quieted down. As commoners, they deeply understood how cruel and terrifying winter could be.

Du Yuanxing continued, “Don’t you believe in your Chief? How could he ever try to harm you? Even if he wanted to get rid of you, he wouldn’t need to make this so complicated, would he? Also, only a pervert like Yang Chao can come up with the idea of that kind of an experiment. Do you think your Chief Wu and Chief Zou are men like that?”

‘No,’?those people answered that question silently. They didn’t say any word out, but the looks on their faces spoke for them.

“Eh… You may know a person’s face but not his mind! Yang Chao seemed to be fine before we found out about what he did, isn’t that true?” As the others were swayed, Huang Tianfei couldn’t help but start talking again. In fact, he was already much less confident than before.

Du Yuanxing glanced at him and found that he was hiding behind the others.

He blinked, then turned and made two steps forward. After that, he turned around and stood before the car as he looked at those people.

“I’m gonna say this one more time. All who want food and quilts get out and follow me in. For the ones who decide not to come, I won’t force you. I’ll let the soldiers send you back.”

The people started glancing at each other. Soon, some of them got off the truck.

Those people didn’t take part in the conversation. They had all noticed that those zombies were really not moving. Even though they had all been baring their teeth and showing their claws, none of them made one single step toward this area.

When Du Yuanxing was talking, those zombies stayed where they were.

As some people got off the vehicle, the rest of the people who had hesitations were flustered. They didn’t want to risk their lives, but did fear the cold winter.

“We… We trust Chief Wu!” At last, these people gritted their teeth and jumped off the truck.

Before long, they all stood by Du Yuanxing’s side, staring at the zombie crowd with fear, not even daring to talk.

Soon, only about eight workers were left on the truck; Huang Tianfei was one of them.

He looked around, then spent a while observing the zombie crowd and found that those zombies did really not come close to the truck.

And then, he slowly followed the others out of the vehicle.
