Mu Ling and the other two followed Liu Yuanbing, deliberately lagging behind him a few steps.
"Tell me, what does he mean by that? Didn't those guys from the military district invite us here? Why is he suddenly acting like he wants to go back on his word?"
Fang Qingqing's lips moved slightly, and the faint sound reached Mu Ling's ears.
Mu Ling shook her head. Although she had never served in the military, she had been a special police officer and had received some formal military training. Therefore, her political acumen was better than that of a pre-apocalyptic superstar like Fang Qingqing.
"That's not the case. Judging from the general's reaction, perhaps there's a disagreement within the military district, or perhaps someone made the decision on their own, and he's unaware of it."
Mu Ling's guess was pretty accurate.
Fang Qingqing nodded, a subtle sneer slipping from her lips. It's easier said than done. Now that they were here, even if this group wanted to change their minds, they had to take the female soldiers back.
Just thinking about it, it was clear that five thousand female soldiers would definitely accelerate the development of the Order base. A group of combat-capable female warriors would also join the Order, and the expansion would be even more significant.
Soon, upon entering the building, Liu Yuanbing also met his father, Liu Jianye.
"Hello, Miss Fang, may I ask where the leader of the Jiangcheng base is, Mr. Su?"
Inside the military building, Fang Qingqing and Mu Ling looked at the elderly man across from them, somewhat surprised. They hadn't expected such a frail old man to be so generous.
Even though Fang Qingqing wasn't as familiar with the military as Mu Ling, she knew this decision would be extremely difficult. Only a lunatic would surrender their own soldiers.
"Our lord is busy and has gone to another city, so we'll take on the responsibility of accepting these female soldiers!"
Fang Qingqing took a few steps forward, speaking with a certain composure.
Liu Jianye was visibly stunned, but he had seen a lot, so he waved to the two men and said, "Please."
"Oh, no, Dad, what's going on? Why are you doing this?"
Liu Yuanbing asked, somewhat puzzled. His father had kept all of this a secret from him, rendering his position as military commander ineffective. He even asked others to protect the female soldiers, which made Liu Yuanbing feel deeply ashamed.
"If I don't do this, will you fight those zombies, will you protect the female soldiers, or will you be able to hold this precarious defense?"
Liu Jianye asked Liu Yuanbing a few simple questions, but he was speechless.
"But, that's not necessary..."
Liu Yuanbing hesitated, still somewhat disdainful of Fang Qingqing and the others. After all, he had never witnessed their true strength. Moreover, the base leader hadn't even come for such a major event, which naturally made him a little uneasy.
On the other hand, the military district had already been in conflict with Su Ming. Although it had been temporarily shelved due to the corpse tide, it didn't mean that any grudges were gone.
"No need to say more. I've made up my mind."
Liu Jianye, a very experienced man, saw the impatience on Fang Qingqing's face and interrupted Liu Yuanbing.
It wasn't that Liu Jianye had such great confidence in Fang Qingqing and the others upon their first meeting, but rather it stemmed from the female soldiers, or rather, Liu Wanting.
Liu Jianye knew his granddaughter's abilities. Winning her over and making her willingly join the Order would be far from easy. If Fang Qingqing and the others could do it, then letting them take Liu Wanting away was the best option.
Liu Yuanbing was about to say something when he saw his father enthusiastically leading Fang Qingqing and the others out. For a moment, Liu Yuanbing felt a little aggrieved. Not being able to stop the tide of corpses was bad enough, but now he had to send his female soldiers to others for protection. What a disgrace!
The group left the building and arrived at their previous landing spot, where several military vehicles drove up.
"Yanyan, take the troops and set off together!"
Mu Ling called out to Zhao Yanyan, then with a wave of her hand, the numerous female warriors boarded the military vehicle and trotted along behind.
Liu Jianye looked at the domineering, arrogant mutant and the murderous female soldiers, and his appreciation for order rose even higher.
Although Liu Jianye had never personally witnessed the strength of these female warriors, he had received some intelligence. Compared to what he saw in the photos, this unit's momentum was even more formidable.
He secretly compared his troops with his most elite troops and realized that in terms of morale and killing intent, his elite troops were completely trounced. Compared to these female warriors, they were a piece of cake.
A glimpse of the leopard in the tube: a thousand-man female warrior force, all armed with cold weapons, could be so formidable. Perhaps sending these female warriors away would be the best option.
Zhao Yanyan patted Xiao Jin's wings, telling it to wander around the military area and not run around, and then climbed into the military vehicle with Fang Qingqing and the others.
"You three are truly as capable as the others!"
Liu Jianye looked at Fang Qingqing and the other two and couldn't help but admire them. He had a discerning eye and could tell their true abilities at a glance.
Mu Ling was the easiest to spot, as she was wearing a police uniform and carried herself with a professional demeanor. She was definitely a cop before the apocalypse.
Fang Qingqing was also a big star before the apocalypse. Even though Liu Jianye didn't follow the entertainment industry, he knew her name.
As for Zhao Yanyan, judging by her personality and behavior, one could tell she was a recent graduate.
However, their current appearance and demeanor far surpassed their original identities. The murderous aura emanating from all three of them was so thick that Liu Jianye could tell at a glance that these three, including the female warriors, had blood on their hands; otherwise, they wouldn't have cultivated such demeanors.
Just looking at Fang Qingqing and the other two, Liu Jianye was filled with amazement. He even grew quite curious about the master of the Jiangcheng base Fang Qingqing had mentioned. What kind of person could possibly train such a group of female warriors?
"Old man, you've been talking too much! Better get going!"
Zhao Yanyan covered her mouth, looking languid.
Liu Jianye wasn't angry, but Liu Yuanbing, who was following behind him, had a rather grim expression.
"But I do find it a little strange. While the military district is in some danger, it's not desperate. And by splitting up your forces, you should be able to reduce the number of the corpse tide. How did it come to this?"
Mu Ling questioned her doubts. The corpse tide would actively attack large gathering areas; they had already confirmed this, and the military district should be aware of it.
"If that were the case, I wouldn't have to ask you for help. Just look at this and you'll see."
Liu Jianye had his guard pass over several documents, which he handed to Fang Qingqing and the others. On them were pictures and information about the zombie girl in white.
After reading this information, Fang Qingqing and Mu Ling were both surprised. Zhao Yanyan, standing nearby, was also very curious. After a long struggle, she finally wrestled the document from Fang Qingqing's hand and began to examine it.
"Speaking of zombies evolving to this level, they're practically indistinguishable from real people!"
Fang Qingqing was a little surprised. She often took her female warriors out to kill zombies, but even the most powerful mutants she had seen were extremely weak in intelligence, not even comparable to Xiao Jin, let alone those who performed like the white-clothed zombie girl.
"Yes, this zombie is extremely intelligent, even comparable to humans. We call it the White Emperor. The military has attempted to decapitate it several times with bombs, but all have failed. She has even mastered controlling the zombie tide, dividing troops, and employing various tactics, causing considerable difficulty for the military."
Liu Jianye said with a wry smile. Over time, the zombie king's tactical intelligence has gradually improved. She hasn't been fighting at full strength, seemingly treating the military as chickens to be slaughtered.
"Even if that's the case, it's your own fault. I was wondering why most of Jiangcheng's zombies suddenly gathered near the military district."
Mu Ling's tone was tinged with sarcasm. If the military district hadn't been so recklessly trying to research a zombie virus, they wouldn't have created such a terrifying zombie king.
