Chapter 743: 397 Anti-foreign

Bai Ye deliberately changed his voice when he spoke, which was very different from his usual tone. The Corpse Hunters heard his explanation but still looked at the three of them with suspicion, unwilling to easily believe them. This situation made the three of them cautious, feeling that something was off.

Fang Yuxin sent a message to Bai Ye, "Bai Ye, what’s going on? These people seem more cautious than last time. Has something happened at Beishi Base?"

Bai Ye’s expression remained unchanged, but he also quietly communicated back, "That should be the case, these people are indeed more cautious. This carefulness... could it be that someone once disguised themselves as distressed Corpse Hunters to harm them?"

At this, the two looked at each other, both feeling that the situation might be more severe than they had guessed. After all, even if it was a highly vicious human, infiltrating the Corpse Hunters to launch an attack seemed too risky. If they were powerful, why would they need to disguise themselves?

Both of them didn’t want to think too negatively, but they couldn’t help feeling uneasy. Fang Yuyang stood beside them, and although he hadn’t heard their exchange, he had a similar guess in mind.

However, as much as they speculated, they still didn’t understand what was happening, unlike the surrounding Corpse Hunters. Compared to Fang Yuxin and the others, these people were much more afraid. After all, zombies capable of disguising as humans were at least Level 4, and not to mention the zombie virus they carried had mutated countless times, making them irresistible for low-level superpower users. Such zombies could easily kill them and turn them into food!

If they got infected with the zombie virus and turned into zombies, that was one thing—everyone found it disgusting and repulsive, but that was better than becoming food for the zombies. But would such high-level zombies easily let them go? It had gone through great lengths to disguise itself as a human and infiltrate the Corpse Hunters, just to attack them opportunistically and turn them into its food!

Since the last incident, all the Corpse Hunters who went out were very cautious, afraid that they would inadvertently become food for a high-level zombie. Now, with Fang Yuxin’s sudden appearance, how could they not be vigilant?

But vigilant as they were, these people would not rashly kill someone without any discrimination. The leader hesitated for a moment and then said to the three, "Stretch out your hands, let us see."

A zombie’s nails and teeth are sharp weapons. Although these people had seen Level 4 zombies, they didn’t know how they disguised themselves. Still, relying on common sense, they decided to start with the fingernails and teeth of Fang Yuxin and the others to determine whether they were humans or zombies.

The three of them had been speculating about the reason for these people’s caution and had vaguely guessed the truth. Hearing this, they were mentally shaken and could no longer deny their suspicion—they really were zombies disguised as humans infiltrating the Corpse Hunters!

Their minds were full of doubt, but outwardly they remained calm and cooperatively stretched out their hands. They were all cultivators, their flesh nourished by spiritual energy, and were extraordinary. Also, the three of them came from distinguished backgrounds and were accustomed to luxury, so when they stretched out their hands, their fingers were slender and smooth, with nails healthy and pink, edges well-rounded—nothing like a zombie’s hands.

Seeing this, the Corpse Hunters breathed a sigh of relief, and then the leader asked, "Where are you from? Are there any other survivors?"

Bai Ye was used to handling these kinds of questions, answering flawlessly. Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang occasionally chimed in, not arousing any suspicion. When they heard Fang Yuxin was a Second-level Wood Element Superpower user, the Corpse Hunters couldn’t help but glance at her with a slight surprise, but no more.

Fang Yuxin and the others observed these people’s expressions as they spoke, guessing that there must be quite a few Second-level Wood Element Superpower users inside Beishi Base.

Probably because their conversation had no flaws, the Corpse Hunters gradually eased up. The leader then asked, "The outside is still very dangerous, why did you run such a long distance to the north? Aren’t you afraid of encountering danger on the road?"

Bai Ye sighed, "It’s not that we wanted to run to the north, but we were forced to. We were previously in a small base where life was quite manageable until a food crisis occurred. Many people ran out of food. Not wanting to sit and wait for death, we decided to try our luck at another base. We started with quite a few people, but along the way, our numbers dwindled, and ultimately only the three of us managed to escape."
