The General’s tone was still very calm, showing no hint of fear.

“Fine, we’ll head back tomorrow morning. It’s getting dark now; traveling back by night would be too dangerous… I hope you can hold out for the night!”

The distance to Zijin Base was a bit far; it had to be covered during daylight. Otherwise, encountering a large number of Night Demons at night would spell disaster.

“Okay.”

The other party didn’t urge them, and their tone remained calm. Lan Yulian knew it was just his style.

“By the way, what’s the situation with the prison and the Alliance now?”

Lan Yulian asked again.

“Temporary cooperation.”

“Right. Then…”

Lan Yulian asked for more specifics, and the General shared everything he could.

Wang Tao listened on the side and more or less understood the whole story.

Simply put, the prison and the Alliance had long been in cahoots, claiming they came to kill zombies, but they were only going through the motions and didn’t actually fight.

Without these two powerful teams, the other teams would definitely face greater difficulties. They wanted to take the opportunity to return to Zijin Base and take it over.

After all, Zijin Base was the best in the city, and many were envious of it. They were no exception.

As for the ascension to Level 3, they had already secretly obtained some white Ascension Crystal Cores. However, they had never succeeded in merging with them. So, they figured that even if Zijin Base got hold of Crystal Cores, it wouldn’t be easy to succeed.

If they could take over Zijin Base, with its high walls and terrifying defense, even Level 3 ability users wouldn’t be able to breach it. They planned to take their time with the Level 3 Ascension Crystal Cores they had.

Then, as if by surprise, an accident occurred.

Their original plan was to have the people from Zijin Base and the clubhouse fight their way in and get bogged down by the multitude of zombies inside while they head back to base.

But to their astonishment, the zombies inside were too strong, and Zijin Base suffered heavy casualties right at the start. Hence, the General immediately ordered a decisive temporary retreat to plan for the long-term.

This retreat caught the prison and the Alliance off guard—they had just finished their sabotage and hadn’t gone far…

It also incidentally caused trouble for Lan Yulian and her teammates.

At the time, Lan Yulian’s group was jointly fighting a formidable Level 3 zombie and couldn’t leave.

After a great struggle to kill that zombie, they were left alone; the General’s men had all retreated!

So, this was how Lan Yulian and her people ended up trapped.

As for the General’s side, once outside, they discovered their vehicles had just been sabotaged, then they saw traces of the prison and the Alliance.

So they hurriedly gave chase.

At this time, the zombies from the sports hall also gave chase. Some, being speed-type zombies, ran fast, and with their large numbers, the general’s men couldn’t avoid combat.

As a result of this battle, zombies from other areas were attracted!

Especially when a large number of Mad Demon Zombies arrived, it wasn’t just them who couldn’t escape; even the people from the prison and the Alliance had no way out.

Fighting amongst themselves was pointless at such a time, so both sides had no choice but to cooperate. They fought while retreating, retreating to the diving hall.

The current situation was that they were surrounded by countless zombies. Although they were not at immediate risk of death, the future was uncertain. It was unclear whether there were any zombies with strong destructive powers among them, and their supplies were limited…

After ending the communication, Lan Yulian turned her gaze to Wang Tao.

“Wang Tao, do you think we should go and bring back reinforcements?”

To be honest, neither Zijin Base nor the prison and the Alliance were exactly honorable.

There’s no need to mention the prison and the Alliance. As for Zijin Base, they retreated too decisively without waiting for Lan Yulian. If they had waited a moment or helped out a bit, Lan Yulian and her team wouldn’t have ended up trapped, nearly wiped out.

At the time, Lan Yulian had considered borrowing manpower from the Fifth Squad, a team of Ability Users who could use Weak Slime. But the General vetoed it, saying they needed to preserve the strength of the Fifth Squad, which was their trump card for killing Level 3 zombies.

Lan Yulian was certain that at the time, the General had some thoughts of letting the zombies eliminate her group—if not before, then he would have seized the opportunity when it came.

Of course, Lan Yulian wasn’t entirely innocent either. By asking Wang Tao this, her implication was clear—if they just left without looking for reinforcements, the General and his men would most likely be doomed. And Zijin Base—might just become hers!

Lan Yulian hadn’t planned on sabotaging them at such a time, but now that the opportunity had arisen… she was having second thoughts!

As the saying goes, “Two tigers cannot share one mountain.” Now, Zijing City had four ‘tigers,’ which was unsustainable!

So you couldn’t blame Lan Yulian for being ruthless; if she didn’t make a move someone else would. It was just a matter of who acted first.

But Lan Yulian still hesitated…

If all these people died, the strength of the survivors in Zijing City would plummet by more than half, a loss for the entire Human Faction of the city.

And Lan Yulian still had some conscience; the idea of so many people dying here weighed on her.

She was torn between wanting to abandon them and wanting to save them.

Wang Tao could clearly see her thoughts and smiled as he said,

“Isn’t that simple? If they offer benefits, like giving up Zijin Base… then you save them. If they don’t offer anything, just let them wait for death. I believe they know how to choose.”

Lan Yulian responded with some resignation,

“You’re right, they’re very likely to offer benefits. But that’s just a verbal agreement. If they don’t honor it after being saved, I have no means of punishing them…”

“That’s even simpler. Just be stronger than them. For instance… ascend to Level 3.”

Wang Tao said, revealing a Level 3 Orange Ascension Crystal Core in his hand, within which lay a “+” sign shadow.

Level 3 Orange Ascension Crystal Core!
