Chapter 643: 347 new goals

Fang Yuxin and her group were fortunate; after they had eliminated the zombie group, their delay due to refueling meant that neither Zhao Qiankun’s men nor the zombie horde numbering in the tens of thousands had managed to catch up. Or rather, it wasn’t so much about luck as it was about Fang Yuxin and the others’ overwhelming strength, which allowed them to annihilate the zombies blocking their path in an extremely short period of time. At the same time, both Zhao Qiankun and Bai Yi were too full of themselves.

This time, it wasn’t only Zhao Qiankun’s elite forces and Bai Yi with his men who had blocked Fang Yuxin’s way; both Zhao Qiankun and Bai Zhengyi were unwilling to suffer losses, so this time both sides had dispatched manpower. However, Bai Zhengyi had not come; it was Bai Yi who was there.

Bai Yi wasn’t as high-profile as Zhao Qiankun and also feared being ambushed, so he stayed inside a vehicle, coldly observing everything. Later, when Zhao Qiankun was provoked by Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye and shouted a warning for them to continue on their way, Bai Yi cunningly kept silent.

After all, their actions were far too despicable; if word got out, they were bound to be criticized. Since Zhao Qiankun was willing to take the lead in this thankless task, why should he compete with Zhao Qiankun?

However, when Bai Zhengli suddenly turned around and took a detour, and they were blocked by zombies as planned, Bai Yi’s face turned extremely ugly! He witnessed Bai Zhengli’s convoy throwing out some spray bottles, then saw the bottles sliced open by a Wind Blade, spilling out a pale pink liquid, and immediately afterward, the zombies started going crazy. Rather than chasing humans, they frenziedly fought over the pale pink liquid on the ground!

Bai Yi was no fool; it was only because of his relation to Bai Ye that he had lost his sense and became prone to impulsiveness. After being admonished by Bai Zhengyi, he had improved a lot. Watching the liquid that could send zombies into a frenzy from a distance, a strong sense of fear dawned on him!

How could Bai Zhengli and Bai Ye possess such a horrifying thing? No! That’s not right! Those spray bottles were clearly thrown from the Qiankun Mercenary Group’s trucks! That meant the pale pink Mysterious Liquid must have been developed by the researchers under Zhao Qiankun!

He was filled with apprehension, so much so that he didn’t even bother to chase after the fleeing Bai Zhengli and Bai Ye; his mind was preoccupied with a single thought—if such liquid were to be spilled among his troops, wouldn’t the zombies crazily attack them? How much more of this liquid did Zhao Qiankun have? If he hadn’t discovered it this time, was Zhao Qiankun planning to keep it secret all along, using it as a secret weapon?

Bai Yi didn’t know that what he was guessing was precisely what Zhao Qiankun was thinking! Zhao Qiankun had originally planned that once those bottles were emptied onto the escaping humans, it would inevitably attract a frenzied attack from the zombie group. If he could destroy the spray bottles and bodies while the chaos ensued, he would be able to erase all traces completely. Even if Bai Yi followed, he wouldn’t find out anything!

But what he hadn’t anticipated was that Fang Yuxin would destroy his perfect plan, with Bai Zhengli even coming up with the idea to use the liquid he had provided to attract the zombies’ attention, block their path, and escape in the confusion!

Zhao Qiankun, looking at the chaotic mass of zombies ahead, was on the verge of exploding in anger! Because there were so many zombies, the entire road was blocked, and to get through, the zombies had to be eliminated! He was furiously relentless, for he had thought that, even if Bai Ye and the others, with only four or five thousand people, managed to escape, they would still be blocked by the zombie group on the road. As long as he dealt with the zombies here quickly, he was sure to catch up to Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin!

Bai Yi had a similar thought, yet when the two of them cleared the zombie group blocking the road and pursued with their men, they found that Bai Ye and the others were nowhere to be seen!

With Beishi City’s complex road network, it was impossible to chase someone without knowing which road they had taken! Neither Zhao Qiankun nor Bai Yi had considered that Bai Zhengli and Bai Ye would lead their people straight out of Beishi City. Their only worry was that Bai Ye and the others would return to the Base and make this matter public. By then, the reputation of the White Wolf Mercenary Corps and the Qiankun Mercenary Group would be ruined, which would surely affect the standing of both Mercenary Corps at the Beishi Base!

So, they didn’t chase out of Beishi City, but instead turned toward the direction of the Base. At the same time, they contacted more trusted associates via their Communicators, demanding that they block all the entrances to Beishi Base ahead and must not allow Bai Zhengli and Bai Ye to return to the Base!
