It was precisely because of these Contracted Beasts that she was able to stand firm in the apocalypse and even led others to establish a small-scale safe base, where she became the leader.
Beishi City had plenty of arable land, and the population density was relatively small, so when they built the base, they didn’t have to worry about the location like other cities’ survivors did. They randomly chose an area with a large amount of arable land and constructed the safe haven.
As time went by, their safe haven gradually grew in scale and prospered. They even planted crops and vegetables in the fields. For now, although the growth was not as good as before due to the Zombie Virus, as long as the crops matured, they wouldn’t have to worry about food!
However, not long ago, their small base caught the eye of someone else! It was a leader of a medium-sized base who sent people over, arrogantly stating that he was interested in their small base and even wanted to take over management. Whether it was her or the people under her command, all had to obey, or else the rival group would send people to suppress them forcibly!
Wu Ke was very frustrated by this. The apocalypse had just begun not long ago, and every survivor was racking their brains to stay alive. Instead of thinking about clearing out the zombies, those people were scheming against their own kind for profit!
For this, Wu Ke felt out of her depth, almost turning her hair white with worry. They were just a small base, with a comprehensive strength that was not very strong. Had it not been for her Contracted Beasts and the united front presented by the base’s inhabitants with their tacit cooperation, they probably would have perished like many other small bases.
If the other party had actually sent an expert to protect them, she wouldn’t have minded stepping down as the leader. But soon, she realized that their real purpose was not to protect the survivors of the small base but to turn them into obedient slaves!
What they valued most, in fact, was her special superpower, as they wanted to exploit her superpower to capture Mutant Beasts!
After some investigation through various channels, Wu Ke found out that many of the nearby small bases that had survived had already been poisoned by these people and had been reduced to a slave-like existence. Anyone who was dissatisfied would be driven out of the base. The purpose of the base was to protect the survivors from zombies and mutated creatures. Once expelled, unless one was particularly strong, for most, it was a death sentence!
