#398 - Chapter 398 A murder caused by a low-level survivor?

Beneath the collapsed Tian Hong headquarters building.

Thousands of zombies, having caught wind of the situation, were frantically digging through the rubble.

They were trying to unearth the richly flavored delicacies within.

After all, over a thousand people had died inside, and their bodies had not yet mutated into new zombies. Lacking the scent of their own kind, they were immensely attractive to the zombies outside.

These corpses, still capable of transforming, would undoubtedly remain beneath the rubble, "guarding" the food and weapons inside.

Virtually no one would be foolish enough to come and dig them out.

As for the ones responsible for all this.

The Green Source combat unit had already begun packing up and preparing to leave.

The squad leaders started to tally their own casualties from the battle, and provided simple first aid to the wounded, with more detailed treatment to be administered back at the base.

Thanks to the collapsed building, the zombies drawn by the noise had mostly rushed over there, showing little interest in them from afar.

Only a few clueless small fry approached and were promptly dispatched.

"Prioritize treating the severely wounded and transport them back to base! Those who are uninjured or have minor injuries will remain here and await Commander Qin!"

Zhong Yu shouted in the team channel.

They, the squad leaders, still needed to stay behind to handle some of the cleanup work.

For example.

Some daring survivors were gradually appearing in the distance!

Seeing the collapse of the once-dominant Tian Hong Group's headquarters, many couldn't resist coming to see what had happened.

They were also observing the Green Source combat unit as it packed up.

After all, they were all human survivors. They were just here to check things out, so they shouldn't be attacked by these people... right?

"Hello! We're from the Red Cloud Base, my name is Xiong Sen! Can you tell me what happened here?! Is there anything we can do to help?"

At that moment.

A man with a rifle slung across his chest and his hands raised approached the Green Source team, stopping about twenty or thirty meters away and calling out to Zhong Yu, who was the closest.

He wore a dark green outfit and seemed much more energetic than the average survivor. A pair of sharp eyes scanned the scene before settling on Zhong Yu.

It seemed that this man had been using a walkie-talkie to allocate tasks earlier.

Therefore, it was highly likely that this man was the leader or commander of these "terrorists."

He was right; Zhong Yu was indeed a squad leader in the Green Source combat unit.

"Hiss—"

"It's Xiong Sen from the Light Base?!"

Many of the surrounding survivors who had come to watch the excitement were secretly astonished!

Because many people had heard of this name!

The Light Base was another powerful faction near the west side of Shenzhen!

It was said that they only had a few hundred survivors, but they possessed a considerable number of firearms and ammunition!

They were definitely an existence that most survivors dared not provoke!

On the Green Source side.

Zhong Yu saw this seemingly harmless person asking him questions.

His mind raced.

He recalled what the commander had said earlier, that after the battle, they needed to spread the base's name. Wasn't this situation and setting perfect for that?!

It saved him the trouble of running around notifying others.

"We are from the Green Source Base!"

"We came here to punish the Tian Hong Group! They sent people to our base to burn, kill, and loot! Causing the death of one of our outer members! And the severe and atrocious humiliation of two members!!!"

Zhong Yu spoke sternly, his eyes like lightning, expressing his heartfelt words with unwavering conviction.

"These are the proofs of the crimes they committed!! Take a look at this!! This!!! What a wonderful family!! They originally lived near our Green Source Base, living a difficult but happy life, until they were encountered by their people while out searching for supplies the day before yesterday!"

"As a result—!!!"

He took out some papers that he had prepared in advance, waving them in the air and distributing them to all the survivors who had come to support the event.

Xiong Sen from the Light Base, and the surrounding survivors, all stared in astonishment at this person who was performing a "celestial maiden scattering flowers" operation.

Xiong Sen picked up a piece of paper that had fallen in front of him and began to read it.

There were quite a few words, accompanied by some pictures.

It briefly introduced how the Lin Qizheng family of three had originally lived "happily" in the Green Source area, and the result of their subsequent attack and death, leaving behind a pair of pitiful "lonely" mother and daughter.

"This..."

Xiong Sen was a little speechless.

Because.

Weren't these things written on the paper quite common in the apocalypse...?

Just everyday occurrences, weren't they...?

The survivors who received the paper and saw the information on it all had strange expressions.

They were a little confused. Just for this little "matter," Tian Hong was destroyed???

What a load of utter nonsense!

"Everyone has seen it, right!"

"This is how we do things at Green Source!! Who dares to touch our people? Then they need to think carefully about whether they can withstand our wrath!!"

"Even if they are thousands of miles away, we at Green Source will send people to pursue them to the end!!"

Zhong Yu was still shouting with a face full of excitement.

He felt great showing off today.

Looking at the survivors outside who wanted to speak but didn't dare, he felt a little lightheaded.

Not convinced?

Don't believe it?

Then just hold it in!

This feeling was awesome!

Outsiders had no way of knowing the psychological activities of this Commander Zhong. They only saw a base that seemed to be extremely protective of its own.

Wasn't it?

The Tian Hong headquarters had become a ruin, and all the usable supplies inside, such as food and weapons, were undoubtedly gone.

The Green Source base had definitely consumed a lot of weapons and ammunition, but had not gained any benefits.

Just for what they said, for an outer member of the base, they had mobilized so many people...

A little perverted, wasn't it...

Perhaps there were some benefits that everyone had not noticed.

But it didn't prevent the survivors present from constructing an image in their minds of an extremely evil force, where everyone was a villain, lightly beating people up, and heavily exterminating entire families...

"Also! We know that there are still many Tian Hong personnel outside who have not been killed today! We also ask you to supervise! If you see them, you can bring their heads or information to Mentang Town, Fenghe County, Guangyuan City at any time!"

"We will pay a generous amount of food and weapons in exchange for their lives!!"

"If there are any Tian Hong people present? Or if they hear about it later and want revenge?"

"Welcome!!!"

"We at Green Source will accept it!!"

As he spoke, Zhong Yu showed a slightly perverted expression.

With this move, those Tian Hong personnel who had been lucky enough to survive today would undoubtedly become rats crossing the street!

Hiding their identities and changing their names in the future might allow them to live secretly.

But if others knew of their past, they might have their heads cut off by others in exchange for food!

This Green Source was too scary!

It seemed that they had really gone to this extent for an outer member with no status?!

Completely not giving the other party a way out!!
