In the apocalypse, for a woman to become a leader, no matter how bright her smile was, her hands were definitely covered in blood.
The two women were solemn as they walked. Such a silence would spread in the dark tunnels. The battle squad members behind them didn’t make a single sound. The joy from collecting so many Star Sunflower Fishes was chased away by the weird seriousness of the two bosses.
They were afraid of their two leaders.
There were sounds from up ahead, and both women stopped at the same time and asked everyone to get ready.
A person from each team popped up. They were in charge of scouting.
In a while, they returned with the same piece of information.
In front of them were the Black Cloud Team and Stabbing Wing Battle Squad. They were fully mobilized, and their target was… Surging Motion Battle Squad!
They decided to change their strategy and not clash with these two first-rate factions.
If their target was Surging Motion, it was obvious that they were there for the fish. These two battle squads had a few hundred fish in their hands, and it was worth the two factions fighting for them.
“Then let’s split up here. Good luck, beautiful.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGan Lan squinted her eyes and said goodbye to Mei Na. The latter nodded and led her group through another tunnel.
The battle squad walked for a while before Gan Lan told them to stop.
“Start a fire, slice the fish, and barbecue them. Rest here. Send the sentries out and pay attention to the Surging Motion. Little Zhan, lead two people back to camp and tell everyone to bring their weapons and gather here.”
“Sister Lan, what do you want to do?”
The boss’s orders seemed like she wanted to help Surging Motion. Her two right-hand men didn’t deny that Surging Motion would be much stronger with Ye Zhonging’s help, but the underground city, or rather the apocalypse, was not a place where one person could decide everything. Black Cloud Team and Stabbing Wing Battle Squad were very strong. Surging Motion wasn’t a match against the two of them.
Even if they survived today, would other factions not get tempted by the few thousand Star Sunflower Fish? What if Lin Xing came? Should she help or not?
Gan Lan smiled, and a bright glow appeared on her face. Her two subordinates lowered their heads.
“There are some things you don’t understand, or rather, you don’t crave as much.”
The two of them were confused but didn’t dare to retort.
“I didn’t say many things to Mei Na, but I can tell them to all of you.”
Gan Lan sat down and took a piece of meat from her subordinate. She bit off a part and chewed.
“Why did that person tell us to deal with the fish by the river? Why did he want to pass through the tunnels that crossed many camps?”
Her voice was calm, but it was filled with confidence.
“Sister Lan, you are saying that Ye Zhongming did it on purpose?”
Gan Lan didn’t reply and continued speaking.
“He killed many people along the way, but they were the ones who attacked. He didn’t touch those who watched on the side. With his strength, it would be easy for him to lock down the news, right?”
The two subordinates nodded.
“Also, why did he ask everyone to gather the blood together? The biggest use was to drink and make one’s body feel warm. It is much weaker than meat, which can improve your body’s quality. It is also hard to preserve, so why did he keep it and pay so much attention to it compared to the other materials?”
Gan Lan shoved the fish into her mouth while looking at the lost expressions of her subordinates.
“I didn’t know the answer until he brought a pair of twins back.”
“He did so on purpose to tell everyone that he got the fish. The blood of the fish was for those who went to find trouble with him- for example, the Black Cloud Team and Stabbing Wing Battle Squad.”
“He should have a necromancer-like job where he can control… Corpses!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe two subordinates were about to faint. They didn’t suspect her words as they knew she had a support job called Rhythm Observation. She had sharp senses about evolved or mutated lifeform strength and state. Since she said that, she was most probably correct.
“No one would ask for death, and this person is the same. We are here to wait for this show to happen and see if we can benefit.”
She waved and told them to get busy. Gan Lan went silent for a while. Naturally, she didn’t tell them everything, even if she trusted them.
Gan Lan cared about the parts of the story that she didn’t announce.
If her guesses were correct, Ye Zhongming had been planning from the start. They were rings that were connected for him to get what he wanted.
But what was his goal? To turn these people into zombies that he could control?
No, she didn’t believe that. She thought about it. Along with her guesses, his final goal was to get as much strength as possible to walk out of this place… Or, control the entire Linhai, including the Death King Tree and Life-Taking Carrot!
Gan Lan’s blood surged due to her guesses. She couldn’t imagine how crazy a plan it was. She might be wrong, but what if she wasn’t?
The dangers of life meant that she wasn’t as immature as before. Although she wouldn’t accept Lin Xing, that was just her bottom line. It didn’t mean that she wouldn’t do other things to benefit.
She stayed here to help Ye Zhongming. She was facing more pressure from Lin Xing and wanted to gamble to see if she could get Ye Zhongming’s help. If she succeeded, at least she could get out of this place. The best situation was if she could become one of the owners of Linhai.
She stood up after making her decision. She decided not to wait for her subordinates. She wanted to see Ye Zhongming and express her intentions.
Although they were just using each other, it sounded nicer that way and could also satisfy a guy’s pride and will to conquer, right?
