Bai Zhengli chuckled. Long Province was a major food-producing province. There might be a shortage of other resources, but there would definitely be no shortage of food! The food stored in the warehouses here alone could feed all the survivors in Long Province for years. How could there be any concern about outsiders trying to snatch resources!
In the apocalypse, as long as the food issue was resolved, the lack of other living supplies wouldn’t drive people insane. Once the food was secured, drinking water could be completely managed by Water Element Superpower Users, and if not, there were always Ice Ability Users. What was there to worry about?
The young man was clearly lying!
However, Bai Zhengli did believe him when he said that some survivors wouldn’t welcome outsiders. After all, the more people there were, the more complicated their thoughts became. Especially during chaotic times, it was too easy for people’s psychology to become twisted!
He didn’t expose the young man’s lies, but just smiled and said, "Then what do you think we should do?"
This time, the young man hesitated. He didn’t know how to answer Bai Zhengli’s question. He vaguely sensed that the person he was facing was too tough to handle, probably beyond his capabilities! Wu Ke had instructed him to try and get information from the other party, but he had spoken so much, and the other party had only given vague information, quickly seizing the initiative and reversing the question onto him!
How was he supposed to answer? He couldn’t just tell them directly that they needed help, could he? That would make their position even more passive! More importantly, he still hadn’t extracted any useful information from the other party. He didn’t know what sort of person Bai Zhengli was; if these people were actually wolves in disguise, wouldn’t letting them into their base and collaborating with them be like inviting wolves into the house?
He unconsciously turned to look at Wu Ke, his eyes filled with guilt: "Ah Ke, I’m sorry, I didn’t handle this well."
Wu Ke didn’t blame him. She had heard the entire conversation earlier and realized that the person they encountered was tough to deal with, so it was normal for the young man to be no match. She sighed, hesitating whether to propose a collaboration directly, when suddenly, the falcon on top of the vehicle started screeching sharply, emitting a series of piercing cries!
Wu Ke and her teammates were already familiar with the habits of the Mutated Falcon; as soon as they heard that noise, they understood that an enemy had appeared—it was sending a warning! They instinctively thought zombies had appeared, but when they looked, they didn’t see the anticipated zombies. Instead, a huge black dot was flying towards them from a distance!
