Chapter 727: Even as a Scapegoat, You Cant Be Used Like This!
Listening to Mu Chen’s description, the expressions on Team Leader Li and his companion’s faces became incredibly animated.
Just a few people, destroyed the entire Dongming branch, most members dead, and the rest scattered and fled…
This… this is too ridiculous!
But Mu Chen’s expression didn’t seem like he was lying. Many details would be hard to fabricate unless experienced firsthand. Most importantly, from Mu Chen’s standpoint, he had no reason to make this up. Though he wasn’t at the headquarters’ level, as a high-ranking manager of a branch, Mu Chen enjoyed a lifestyle that could be considered luxurious compared to those survivors living like rats, hiding in cracks and constantly under immense mental pressure. Just the fact that he risked coming to Heishui indicated he wasn’t willing to abandon this lifestyle easily.
“Free agents” with actual strength like Ling Mo were uncommon among human survivors.
After all, individual strength is quite insignificant compared to the zombies infesting the city. Sometimes, just collecting a bit of food could be fatal. In a situation surrounded by zombies, it’s impossible even to sleep soundly. Such immense mental pressure is not something everyone can endure.
Of course, small groups of survivors haven’t disappeared altogether. With so many towns in the West, there are only a few major forces, with limited coverage.
Groups like Falcon and F Team, including Niepan, are all based around a large city and then gradually expand their influence. Although Niepan is somewhat special, it can’t affect all survivors.
Some survivors probably aren’t even aware of these camps’ existence, and even if they wanted to find such “safe zones,” they lack the strength to travel between towns.
