Chapter 825: Liu Che’s New Skill
Bai Wenxuan raised his head and looked at the walls of the safe base. This was the first time he had seen such a synchronised attack. When he thought about the battle that was happening at the capital, he could not help but frown. No wonder this place was so peaceful. Everyone was willing to play their role and protect the safe base. But at the capital, everyone just wanted to establish their dominance. They did not even understand such a basic thing: that without the safe base’s protection, there would be nothing left for them.
"It seems like Bai Meiyue understands the principle of keeping her nest protected, or else the eggs would be tossed to the ground." She did not care about the ability users but the safe base. To her, the biggest asset was this safe base and not the ability users. They could always find new ability users, but the chances of creating another safe place were close to none.
"Of course she does." Fox walked over as he dumped the bag that he was carrying on his back onto the floor. Dusting off the dirt on his gloves, he peered over the walls that were being protected. "She is not like those fools who cannot understand such a simple thing: that if the country is lost, there is no point in fighting over the throne. As long as the safe base stands, we all will have a place to stay. So, who cares who has the power over the safe base? Anyway, the chances of a person establishing their authority are very low. After all, every family or team has countless ability users."
"No one can be sure who will be the one to rise at the end, nor will it be easy to do it."
Fox might not have gone to the capital, but he was aware of what was going on in the capital. From the looks of it, things were quite unhinged. The four prominent families were actually trying to assert their power and determine who was going to rule the capital at the safe base. Given that there had always been rivalry among the four families, it was not a surprise that there was a war going on between these four families now that they had collected ability users and divided the safe base.
But was it really necessary? Compared to the capital, Fox found staying at this safe base much more peaceful.
Bai Wenxuan did not know what to say after hearing Fox’s response. Indeed, what he said was correct. If the country were burning, then even if they were to win the throne, would there be any point? He pursed his lips and replied after a long time, "I can only hope things will get better."
"Till then, I think it is better if you stay with me." Fox glanced at the man and remarked casually.
Bai Wenxuan had nothing against this. After all, compared to the capital, this safe base was indeed quite comfortable. Not only were there crouching tigers and dragons, but it was also the kind of place where he would like to spend his time at the end of the world. "Alright, I will leave the matter of arranging my stay to you."
"What do you mean, leave it to me? Do you even know that I had to arrange for one hundred thousand crystal nuclei for your stay? You’d better prepare the crystal nuclei when we return to the capital," Fox sneered. He knew that Bai Wenxuan was playing a trick on him, but he was not willing to let this slide.
Bai Wenxuan chuckled. "Of course, of course."
On the other side, after Bai Meiyue was done dealing with the zombie king, she supported her waist and walked in the direction of the gates. Looking at the mutilated corpse that could make anyone disgusted, Bai Meiyue could not help but scrunch up her brows. However, when she thought about the crystal nuclei, she suppressed the disgust in her heart and summoned a little iceman, who marched over to the beaten-up skull of the zombie king and then wrenched out a crystal nuclei that was buried deep in the flesh and brain.
Bai Meiyue looked at the thumb-sized crystal nuclei before turning around and marching back into the safe base; with the zombie king going down, it won’t take long for the mutated bugs to arrive and feed on the corpse of the zombie king. She might as well escape before that happened.
Bai Zhan was keeping an eye on the things when he saw the damages at the iron walls of the safe base; he could not help but become a bit troubled. It seemed like he really underestimated these monsters. Even when the zombie king never reached the safe base’s walls, it was still able to leave a lot of damage. Look at the dents and the craters made on the wall, if they were any unluckier, they might have lost their safe place.
When he thought of the dangers that could have befallen on them, Bai Wenxuan felt truly troubled. He pursed his lips and started thinking of a plan that could help him stabilise the situation in front of him. But there were no longer as many labourers at the safe base as there were in the past. Most of the men had left the safe base with Yang Wei.
Bai Wenxuan knew that if he wanted to deal with such big craters then he would have to work harder than ever.
Just thinking about it made his head ache.
"Brother, why are you frowning like that?" Bai Meiyue walked over when she saw Bai Wenxuan frowning while looking at the damages of the safe base.
"Look at the big craters... these things will not get fixed in a day or two. What if there is another attack? We need to rethink and reevaulate everything. It seems like the thickness of the walls are not enough! And the material–we need to exchange it with something else other than iron because it is not enough to keep these monsters outside."
