Kingdom of Corrosion

Back at the Railway Bridge Base, the leaders held a small meeting. Maya opposed Stone’s statement, believing that it was wrong to give up battle preparations based solely on Little Knife’s words. She also thought that the Extinction Plan for the reservoir was too malicious, essentially uprooting humanity itself. The personality-split Maya eventually compromised, supporting preparations for the Extinction Plan but opposing the initiative to actually start it.

Shana supported a preemptive strike. Regardless of it being a game, when threatened by a strong enemy, survival depending on the mood of the enemy, letting others dictate one’s fate, entrusting life and death to the conscience of the adversary was something she couldn’t do. She advocated for actively weakening the Alliance’s power and believed that spreading the zombie virus in the reservoir should be done sooner rather than later.

In the end, the three decided to immediately begin preparations, with whether to implement the plan depending on the specific situation. Those assigned the malicious task were Maya, Lin Wu, Snow Egg, and Little Knife. Under the guise of going out for reconnaissance, they would be out for three to four days, transporting zombie corpses to the Yangshan Reservoir.

The operation went smoothly; as long as they avoided the sparse drones, there was basically no difficulty. They dug a hole in the mountainside in the middle section of the reservoir and placed dozens of zombie bodies inside, each bound and weighed down with rocks. When the time came, they would just need to carry the zombies in pairs and throw them into the reservoir.

On day D105 after the Extinction Group returned to the base, Shana informed them that something had happened in the southern area. A small landing craft from the Eastern Base had sailed upriver from the sea into The Day After Tomorrow River and docked near veteran base. The reason given was that several officers were visiting their former superior, a brigadier general, at the Veteran Base.

Shana did not believe this reason.

Although some soldiers had left the Eastern Base, the Eastern Base had also recruited more than eight hundred people from the massive refugee camps for production work. Being an important military base and a main recipient of aid on the Day of Disaster, the Eastern Base had a large quantity of military supplies. Prior to this, the Eastern Base also had commercial dealings with the Alliance, exchanging weapons for industrial goods like cement, but this was the first time they had sent soldiers and warships into the Alliance’s territory without notifying Little Knife.

It was said that on that day, over fifty armed Alliance soldiers patrolled around the periphery of the new Veteran Base, making Little Knife feel hostility from the Eastern Alliance.
