In the basement of a residential building, the bright white light emitting from the light bulb lit up the entire space.
At the head was one of the leaders of the base. He sat still and upright at the table, facing and looking at everyone who was attending this meeting.
"These past few days at the trade fair, how many casualties have occurred? Is it still within our acceptable range?"
A man wearing a suit stood up. "We have been secretly investigating while also constantly updating our information with the use of other data such as rental information of residential buildings. As soon as our base’s casualties exceed our estimated limit, we will take immediate action. After these few days of investigation and surveying, the death toll is only a bit more than 200."
Chenxi Base had hundreds of thousands of ordinary people and more than 5000 ability users, so their strength could be considered rather formidable. However, this was also the reason that so many zombies have been attracted over.
"So few?" The leader was very surprised.
They had previously planned to start controlling the situation once the death toll reached 400, but at present, it was only a bit over half.
"En. We have a powerhouse called Geng Yan in our base, recently his lover, Ji Anran, had just broken it off with him. Maybe it was because of the loss of such a big meal ticket, but Ji Anran had been very diligent in fishing to earn supplies recently. Those who had targeted him to kill and rob all got eradicated instead, so because of the great decrease in the number of executioners, the casualties ended up so few."
The leader didn’t know whether they should laugh, cry, or what. "Nevermind then, a lower loss is also a good thing. Although it can help people become experienced, our real goal has never been to raise gu[1]."
"This is a list compiled during the trade fair, the people on it are all those with improper intentions, killing people to rob. After excluding those who have been counter-killed or internally killed within the dark, there are still these teams left. Having gotten their hands on so many supplies, they will definitely be going to the black market to sell them off. Our people have already done the preparations to ensure they would die there without leaving any traces that could be led back to us."
The leader nodded. "En. Make sure you personally oversee this yourself, don’t let anything go wrong. No matter what, these [people] can't be allowed to go back to the base, otherwise, we’ll have wronged those who have died at this trade fair."
"As we fight against the zombie tide without sleep or rest, I will never permit a strong team to take advantage of the chaos during that time to rob supplies and escape from the base!"
Everyone on the team had managed to finish exchanging their nuclei after that one trip to the black market.
Ji Anran looked at the distant moon and worshipped in pretense.
"Although they weren't well-intentioned, nonetheless, I still want to thank that team. If it weren't for their 'dedication'[2], it probably wouldn’t have been so easy for us to be able to safely come back tonight."
Geng Yan was amused by Ji Anran. "You... are just naughty."
"Oh right, Geng-ge, I'll pay you back for the crystal nucleus I had borrowed from you before."
Ji Anran took out the previous loot from when he had gone fishing. These were first-order crystal nuclei that he hadn’t bothered to trade them, all sorts of attributes were there. After advancing to the third-order, the energy of first-order nuclei simply wasn’t enough to be considered, so Ji Anran had been too lazy to exchange them at all.
In the blink of an eye, the rich tycoon Ji Anran became a poor debtor[3].
The impoverished Ji Anran was incredibly heartbroken and left without saying another word.
The fishing expert Ji Anran went back and took out a small notebook to record, still owe 100 crystal nuclei. He’ll definitely gather enough during the zombie tide, there might even be a surplus...
