Perhaps there are too many fierce individuals in Hope Base; after witnessing Fang Yuxin and the others’ methods, everyone seemed to be influenced. Unless they encounter those high-level zombies, most of the competent superpower users are no longer afraid of zombies. On the contrary, because the zombies are becoming scarcer, these people have their eyes turn red whenever they see one.
These seemingly ferocious zombies have all turned into moving crystal cores in their eyes! As an outward trading caravan returned fully loaded, those remaining also began to stir with excitement, spreading this trend of "trading" throughout the base until it became a craze.
However, because so many trading caravans went out, the reputation of Hope Base gradually spread, turning into a tempting target in the eyes of many other bases. Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye, during their "trial" outside, encountered several groups looking to exploit Hope Base.
Despite the absence of Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye, Fang Yuyang, stationed at the base, wasn’t someone to be easily bullied either. When confronted by arrogance, he took direct action to deal with them. Subsequently, Fang Jintang, the shrewd businessman, stepped in to harshly fleece them. As a result, these people, like those from Changhe Base before, failed to gain any benefits and instead suffered significant losses.
Still, although many harbor resentment, none truly stormed Hope Base with deadly intent. While now many can swiftly kill zombies, no one really wants to go hard against their fellow survivors.
Of course, the most significant reason is still the overwhelming strength of Hope Base. A real fight would undoubtedly lead to mutual destruction, with countless lives lost!
Since the zombie virus spread, after the devastation of zombies and mutated creatures, only less than one-tenth of the survivors remain. With the population drastically reduced, even many high-ranking superpower users who might look down on ordinary people dare not casually eliminate them.
If that’s how it is for ordinary people, how much more for the rare and valuable superpower users?
Only people like Bai Zhengyi and Zhao Qiankun dared such "bold moves"! Fortunately, such individuals are not numerous; most base leaders are still relatively rational.
Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye, accompanied by Bai Qianqian, rode their Contracted Beasts all the way back to Hope Base, using less than a day. As soon as they returned, they understood why Fang Yuyang urgently called them back—Fang Yuyang was also going to enter seclusion.
