Kingdom of Corrosion

Stone was polite and generous, and then explained to Shana his intention to meet with her. He hoped that the Railroad Bridge Base could have limited cooperation with the Survivor’s Alliance. He believed that in this current Apocalypse Era, humanity needed to unite and could not fight alone. The biggest obstacle in his expanding territory was the Veteran Base, which stubbornly delineated their sphere of influence and did not allow the Survivor’s Alliance to enter.

Stone told Shana that he had more than a hundred armed gunmen, but considering the need to unite all humanity, he maintained a restrained attitude toward the aggressive stance of Veteran Base. If Railroad Bridge Base could nominally join the Survivor’s Alliance, they could surround Veteran Base from north and south, forcing Veteran Base to join the Alliance as an independent base.

In doing so, humanity would gain control over the edge areas of the south and west, possess a large amount of land where refugees could be settled, and many factories that could resume production. Therefore, he sincerely hoped to reach an agreement with Railroad Bridge Base and establish the largest community of human survivors in Day After Tomorrow City.

Whether Stone was bragging or not, he claimed that the number of people in the Survivor’s Alliance had already exceeded a thousand, with 150 armed gunmen, and had established trade relations with East Base.

Shana was very tempted, indicating she would discuss it with the leader before giving Stone a reply. Shana’s performance was so convincing that Stone quietly told her that if their leader disagreed, he could provide people and boats to stealthily move downstream to Railroad Bridge and assist Shana in a coup during the night.

Shana and Stone discussed some details of the coup, took Stone’s phone number, and shook hands to say goodbye. To show sincerity, Stone gifted Shana all the supplies from three pharmacies, one clinic, and one dental clinic on this street.

At eleven o’clock in the morning, the field team returned fully loaded, and a drone followed them in the sky until near the distribution center. After the field team returned, Shana explained the situation to Maya and Stone, and during lunchtime, Railroad Bridge Base held an emergency meeting.

First agenda item: Does the Survivor’s Alliance have any intention to attack Railroad Bridge?

The answer was no, at least not for now.

Shana analyzed on the map: "Look, Survivor’s Alliance controls 30% of South City, but they can no longer expand northward and eastward due to the high density of zombies, calculated by the tens of thousands. It’s impractical to completely occupy South City. South City, near central city, has zombie numbers around a hundred thousand."
