Chapter 62: Unfair Plan, Preparations Before the Zombie Sweep
Seeing Huang Quan retreat, Gu Fan did not continue to make a move.
Overall, this world still needed a portion of human survivors.
Not to mention anything else, just the zombies in the entire southern part of the city were still uncountable even now.
And he himself could not possibly stay here forever.
With the existence of other survival bases, some of the pressure could be shared.
At the same time, this group could also collect zombies.
Relying solely on the number of people under Xia Yan would soon be insufficient to meet the Evil Lotus’s demands.
As for threats—
Heh, it wasn’t that he looked down on this group.
But at their current evolution speed, they were far from being a threat.
Gu Fan, after all, cultivated immortality, and in terms of combat strength, it was complete suppression.
“Since all the obstructive elements have been dealt with, why don’t we resume the previous discussion here?”
Huang Quan took over Qian Lidong’s position and spoke straightforwardly.
“Since we are preparing to clear a designated area and connect the bases to form a defensive shield, we must address the food issue. What Lidong just said about our Security Base still stands. As for the Hospital Base…”
Gu Fan tapped his finger on the table.
Everyone tensed again, seemingly triggered by stress.
“Our side is, of course, willing to provide food, but as I said, there are conditions.”
“First, from now on, all zombie corpses killed by your bases must be placed together in a designated area that I will specify. As for the purpose, you don’t need to know. Don’t get any funny ideas—of course, if you want to die, pretend I didn’t say anything.”
“Second, I will take ninety percent of all Zombie Crystal Cores! I don’t care how you divide the remaining ten percent among yourselves.”
Everyone stirred at these words—this demand was simply outrageous!
One person taking ninety percent?
It was as if he didn’t see them as people at all, not even giving beggars such meager offerings.
Even a capitalist would weep.
But seeing Huang Quan remain silent, everyone suppressed their reactions.
After all, no one wanted to stand out again.
The corpses of those few just now were still lying on the side!
“As for the third point, this might actually be a good thing for you. In this upcoming zombie sweep, all you need to do is lure the zombies to the designated location. The rest will be handled by me!”
Everyone looked at each other, momentarily doubting whether they had misunderstood.
Did he mean that as long as the zombies were lured in, he alone could handle all the rest?
Even Huang Quan was shocked.
Was this man crazy, or did he truly possess such strength?
One had to know, the designated area had at least hundreds of thousands of zombies.
Even standing still and killing non-stop, it was hard to estimate how long it would take.
Not to mention the presence of evolved Level 3 and Level 4 Zombies!
Huang Quan suppressed his shock and reminded:
“Leader Gu Fan, we know you are powerful, but I must remind you that among the zombies, besides the ordinary ones, there are evolved types. If you fail to hold them off, our bases might face annihilation.”
“Set the lure point around our Hospital Base. If anything happens, we’ll take the responsibility. Can we cut the nonsense now?”
Gu Fan naturally didn’t bother to explain his strength.
He simply uttered a sentence.
Displaying immense confidence.
Huang Quan saw that Gu Fan didn’t look like he was joking.
At the same time, he realized that if it was really like this, it would be only fair for Gu Fan to take ninety percent of the crystal cores.
Mainly because the task of luring was simply too easy.
Everyone here was an Evolver; if they couldn’t beat the zombies, at least they could run.
“In that case, we agree. The starting time…”
Gu Fan waved his hand.
“I’ll notify you of the time, no later than three days. When the time comes, I’ll tell you the exact location for the lure!”
After speaking, Gu Fan stood up and pulled Xia Yan with him, disappearing under everyone’s gaze!
The scene remained silent for a full three minutes before someone finally spoke.
“Everyone, is this really settled? He alone takes ninety percent?”
As soon as these words came out, someone immediately snapped:
“Otherwise? Why didn’t you say anything earlier? Now that he’s gone, what’s the point of this nonsense!”
“Zombie Crystal Cores are critical resources for evolution, and with so many of us sharing just ten percent…”
“But is that guy really human?”
“Don’t you all think it’s strange? Ancient robes, a youthful face, abilities different from us Evolvers—could he be some kind of transmigrator?”
“Heh, ignorant fool. Why not say he’s an alien while you’re at it?”
“But no matter what, this person absolutely cannot be provoked. He’s nothing short of a madman. Pity for Old Tan and the others—they probably died without even knowing what kind of figure they had offended.”
“What kind of cowardly nonsense is this? But are we really just going to let him suppress us like that?”
“If you’re so tough, why didn’t you step up earlier?”
“We’re all base leaders here. I’ve never swallowed such humiliation!”
At that moment, Huang Quan, who had finished pondering, knocked on the table, drawing the attention of all the arguing base leaders.
“Everyone, let’s calm down. I have some thoughts that I think we can discuss…”
...
Hospital Base.
Gu Fan patted Xia Yan’s perky buttocks and said,
“Go back and lead our people to select a sufficiently open area within five hundred meters around the hospital. It should be large enough to accommodate at least ten thousand people.”
Xia Yan shot Gu Fan a flirtatious glance, a smile curling her lips that outsiders could hardly detect.
“I’ll head out soon. But can you really kill that many zombies on your own? Isn’t that too risky?”
Gu Fan smiled and pinched Xia Yan’s cheek.
“I never do anything I’m not confident in. Don’t worry. I cherish my life more than anyone. I’ll go out and make some preparations first.”
“Alright.”
Seeing Xia Yan turn and enter the hospital, Gu Fan turned around and dived into the world of cultivation.
Looking out the window, it was still night, suggesting only a short time had passed.
Gu Fan left the room and walked into the main hall.
It was now filled with cheerful chatter and laughter.
Gu Ling’s entire family and the entire Eighth House had returned to take over matters previously handled by the Main Bloodline and the Second and Third Houses.
Other collateral branches also returned to the residence one after another upon receiving the message.
“Weren’t you in seclusion? Why are you out?”
Gu Fan glanced to the side and saw Lin Yi leaning against the nearby doorframe, his expression slightly bored.
“Just checking in. I’ve got something I need your help with.”
“What is it?”
Just as Gu Fan was about to speak, Gu Ling spotted him and immediately ran over.
“Ling’er-jie.”
“Gu Fan, all the collateral branches of the Gu Family have returned. There are some things I need to talk to you about.”
After listening for a while, Gu Fan couldn’t help but sigh with admiration—old ginger was indeed spicier.
In such a short time, his old man had already used his reputation to bluff and threaten the entire collateral branches of the Gu Family.
In summary, the Gu Family now had a new Old Ancestor—Gu Fan.
From now on, the Eighth House would be the Main Bloodline, and the branch Gu Ling belonged to would take the former place of the Second House.
However, since the Eighth House had also originated from a collateral line, they wouldn’t make things too difficult for others.
All benefits had significantly increased. Overall, under the threat of Gu Fan’s power and his father’s manipulations, the entire Gu Family had gone through a transformation and stabilized once again.
It was just that, during the time he had been in his room, Huiyun City had not remained peaceful.
Because one of the five great families of Huiyun City—the Nalan Family—had been completely divided and seized within just one afternoon.
Naturally, there were still remnants of the Nalan Family who resisted the invasion of numerous forces.
But without a Primordial Yang Realm Old Ancestor to oversee them, what deterrent power did they have left?
At this moment, likely only the old residence of the Nalan Family remained, with all other properties completely lost.
