Then he took a deep breath and announced loudly, "So now I ask you, are you willing to follow me?"
As soon as his words fell, the shill he had arranged shouted, "Willing! Whatever big brother says, we’ll do!"
Following that, the other shills echoed, "We’ll listen to big brother!"
"Listen to big brother!"
"Listen to big brother!"
Gradually, everyone spoke in unison, even the one who had been advising earlier felt that Fatso was right, and they were worrying unnecessarily.
There were not only these few who wanted to take advantage of the situation to fish in troubled waters for their own benefit.
Inside the Safe Zone, there were mercenary teams of various sizes, apart from those who went out to combat the zombies, almost everyone who stayed behind had their own schemes.
Especially those large mercenary teams, they were strong, but had been severely suppressed by the military and could never find a chance to overturn the situation. This time, when the zombies attacked the city, about half of the military personnel went out to combat the zombies, leaving behind, besides a few capable ones, mostly ordinary civilian staff.
How could these ambitious people let go of such a rare opportunity?
Many shared the same thoughts as Fatso, believing that the zombies definitely wouldn’t be able to breach the defenses, considering so many had gone out to resist, and their strength was formidable. No matter which side won, the remaining side would definitely suffer heavy losses, which they could easily take advantage of.
Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a perfect opportunity?
Moreover, these mercenary teams didn’t only aim to seize control of the Safe Zone, but also targeted the resources of others.
Among them, some had set their sights on the Fang Family.
Many knew of the Fang Family’s status before the apocalypse, and a few among them knew that the Fang Family had acquired a large stock of supplies before the apocalypse.
The whereabouts of those supplies were unknown, and naturally, the most likely place was the villa where the Fang Family lived.
Therefore, some seized the night cover and stealthily headed to the Fang Family’s residence, prepared to find those supplies during the chaos.
There were quite a few eyeing the Fang Family, but the ones who actually acted were only two groups of people, plus Fang Mengyao.
These highly informed mercenary teams knew that Fang Yuxin had attained Wood Element Level 2 and truly didn’t want to offend her. The two groups that took action did so only harboring a slim hope of success.
Fang Mengyao did not join the others. After Qiu Yiming left with his group, she headed to the Fang Family residence earlier than those two groups. Her visit was not just for the Fang Family’s supplies, but for the potential ’Personal Space’ that might exist.
Frustratingly, Qiu Yiming seemed to sense something and closely monitored her, and with the military brass indirectly protecting Fang Yuxin, she didn’t want to risk inflaming the situation and hadn’t been able to make a move against Fang Yuxin. freeweɓnøvel.com
