Chapter 605: Chapter 602 Clue_1

Zzz~zzz...

"Cough Cough."

[Hello, hello, are there any survivors at the Gaozheng Base in the west of Fengming City? If anyone hears this broadcast, please respond as soon as possible. We will fully support Gaozheng Base in three hours. This is Jiang Cong Headquarters, please respond if you receive this...]

...

[Hello, hello... This is the last broadcast, Fengming City... never mind... Has everyone already died? Maybe... We’re sorry, we’re too late. May the departed rest in peace...]

The male voice mixed with static echoes in the communication room. The empty echoes sound extraordinarily lonely, and his tone is somewhat sad and grim.

Bang!

At this moment, the door of the communication room was kicked open, and Tang Ye walked in with his men.

He squinted his eyes, watching the snow-white screen flicker.

"Jiang Cong Headquarters?"

He had heard from Qiongli’s husband that a force had formed between G Province, K Province, and T Province, similar to the United District of S Province, called Jiang Cong Headquarters.

It’s a coalition of several bases that have mutually established trade routes and jointly manage the surrounding areas - it can also be called the United District of East China.

However, unlike the South China United District, Jiang Cong Headquarters is comprised of bases led and managed by formal officials before the Apocalypse, and has better management. The South China United District is jointly controlled by seven committee members.

These seven committee members were not officials before the Apocalypse. They survived after the Apocalypse by forming their own survivor forces or by taking control of a base with their strong personal strength.

As time passed, the South China region ended up with seven major bases. The seven base commanders, being stronger than others, became the seven committee members of the South China United District!

To put it simply, those who are strong become committee members. It’s a blatant system of "might is right," and the order and management methods within the United District are vastly different from other controlled areas.

Whoo~roar! Roar!

"Ah~ f*ck... wait, what is this?"

Suddenly, a roar came from behind the unseen door. A biker gang member jumped in shock and stood dumbstruck with a knife in his hand ready to attack the zombies as he surveyed the scene before him.

Tang Ye looked back. He hadn’t noticed any zombies when he came in. He had just heard the broadcast and walked in.

Less than three meters away from the door, a half-zombified corpse hugged a small zombie child. He was half-kneeling, with his flesh exposed, tiny scales growing from his muscles. However, his brain was destroyed during the zombification process, killing the host and halting the zombification.

There was a black long spear piercing him straight through the head, which had impaled the small zombie in his arms. It hadn’t hit the little zombie’s head but had pierced through the shoulder and was stuck firmly into the floor.

The small zombie was alive, but it couldn’t move as it was pinned to the ground by the long spear.

This corpse, holding the zombified child, had traces of being gnawed at on his chest. Judging by the muscular lines of his body, this man was at least a new human of Level 3 or above when he was alive!

The door to the communication room was tightly closed, apparently locked by someone who was afraid of zombies breaking in. If it weren’t for Tang Ye kicking the door open, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to get in at all.

Apart from a few screens, there were no windows, and there were no holes dug by humans in the walls.

All of this suggested that it wasn’t someone else who had thrust the long spear. Instead, it was....

In a short while, people guessed what was going on, and their expressions became somewhat eerie.

"They must be father and son, right?"

Someone spoke dazedly. Honestly, seeing such a scene in the empty communication room made people feel eerie and desolate. If they hadn’t come in, probably no one else would have discovered them.

"Probably, they must have been dead for three or four days."

The small zombie struggled and swiped its flesh-dripping hand towards them. A biker gang member didn’t hesitate to cut off its head with his knife.

The speakers became silent, no longer carrying that voice as before. Perhaps, as he said, that was the last broadcast.

"What’s this?"

The man who had just killed the small zombie looked down to see a pile of nutrient paste behind the body and asked in confusion.

"Is this edible?"

"Can we eat this stuff?"

"If you’re not going to eat it, give it to me!"

While several people were discussing, a biker gang member obviously knew its value and grabbed it, putting it into his mouth to swallow. As soon as the nutrient paste entered his mouth, his eyes lit up.

"F*ck, this guy wasn’t simple at all. This is high-grade nutrient paste!"

"What’s nutrient paste? F*ck, save some for me."

A few people reacted and immediately went over to fight for it, but Chen Zhouquan smacked the table at this moment.

Smack!

"Enough! If anyone causes trouble again, I’ll slaughter all of you!"

As Chen Zhouquan’s threatening roar came out, everyone quieted down at once. They could only cast resentful glances at the man who was greedily munching the nutrient paste.

"Alright, there’s nothing else to see. Let’s go, get out."

Tang Ye stated indifferently. Though the sight of the corpse clutching his zombified son was moving, zombies are zombies. They don’t have feelings anymore, and naturally, they can’t be moved by anything. The only things that can move zombies are food, or perhaps old memories...

Watching Tang Ye slowly walk out, the Chen brothers seemed hesitant.

"Master, you’re a zombie and don’t need to eat, but we’re humans, and we’ll starve if we don’t eat!"

This thought arose in their hearts, but they didn’t dare express it out loud. Their troop was currently facing a serious lack of food, that’s why their subordinates had suggested looking for some food on their way out.

"Um... Master?"

Chen Zhouquan scratched his head with an awkward expression and stopped Tang Ye, who responded with a "Hmm?" This startled Chen Zhouquan, who quickly said, "We... are hungry."

"Oh, go find some food yourself."

Tang Ye casually waved his hand and left the command building. The conversation in the communication room gave him a lead. Right now, he had two things to do. The first was to find Qiongli and Nannan, and the second thing was to find that damn intelligent zombie!

The mention of the [Jiang Cong Headquarters] in the broadcast made Tang Ye suspect whether the 46th Division had taken Qiongli and others to the Jiang Cong Headquarters.

Although the Chenyang 169 Base was Qiongli’s destination, this base was similar to the Guanglan Base in Qinshan, S Province. Although it was in the jurisdiction of Jiang Cong Headquarters, there were no people from Jiang Cong Headquarters inside the base.

The 46th Division were genuine soldiers. They wouldn’t possibly go to a "private" survivor’s base and confront the managers there. There were many official figures in Jiang Cong Headquarters, which would undoubtedly be the best choice for the members of the 46th Division.

As for where Qiongli wanted to go, the many people wouldn’t just listen to her. According to Qiongli’s nature, it was very likely that she would go with the army. Once she arrives, she would plead with Zhang Zhiyun to send her back to the Chenyang 169 Base, and Zhang Zhiyun, a generous division commander, would likely agree to do so.

After all, he and his 46th Division were soldiers who upheld their faith.

Now what Tang Ye needs to do is to go to the path they must pass to try his luck.
