Base 156 Reinforcement Plan!

As for which people Bai Lu'er believed should be sacrificed,恐怕 probably only she herself knew.

"Ahem, as long as you have your own thoughts, that's fine." Xue Feng could only dryly cough once more.

"All of this is inseparable from your guidance; you are the mentor on my path." Bai Lu'er's gaze toward Xue Feng was filled with intense warmth.

Guidance?

Xue Feng had never felt that he had guided Bai Lu'er in any way whatsoever.

All of this was merely the result of Bai Lu'er's own wild imagination!

"Where are you heading next?" Xue Feng could only change the subject.

After all, he could not allow this misunderstanding to deepen any further.

No matter what Bai Lu'er turned into, it had nothing to do with him.

"Naturally, we're going to continue eliminating the traitors, and additionally, search for supplies. This time, if anyone dares to block our path, they will be the objects designated by the gods for elimination." Bai Lu'er spoke with utter coldness.

As if this was a matter of course for her.

Moreover, their next target for elimination was that middle-aged woman who had escaped.

Someone had already discovered the woman's whereabouts; she was hiding in a supermarket with a few followers.

"Then I wish you success." Xue Feng nodded, then turned and walked away.

He had a premonition that Bai City was about to experience turbulent times.

Bai Lu'er would never be as gentle in her actions as she had been before.

Bai City was destined to plunge into a sea of blood and terror.

"Wait a moment," Bai Lu'er called out.

"What is it?" Xue Feng turned his head back.

"You saved so many of us, and we haven't thanked you yet. Whatever you need, we can provide," Bai Lu'er said.

Not just Bai Lu'er; Hu Bo and the others entirely agreed as well.

They wanted an opportunity to repay Xue Feng.

"I have no use for your supplies..." Xue Feng said with a frown.

They had no use for their supplies?

Bai Lu'er, Hu Bo, and the others all wore bitter smiles.

Although it was the truth, Xue Feng stating it so bluntly was somewhat hurtful.

"I have two friends here; they both live in the zoo." Xue Feng described the appearances of Wang Jun and Dong Feifei as he spoke.

He hoped Bai Lu'er would not come into conflict with them.

Whether Bai Lu'er or Wang Jun was stronger, Xue Feng could not be certain.

However, he estimated it would undoubtedly be a fierce battle.

"No problem," Bai Lu'er agreed.

Then she watched as Xue Feng departed.

"What a pity. If only Xue Feng could join us!" Hu Bo sighed with immense regret.

Once they possessed such a powerful ability user like Xue Feng,

they would no longer fear any zombies.

They would also be able to expand their search radius.

"Rest assured, we will eventually gather together, bathing in the embrace of the gods." The corners of Bai Lu'er's mouth curved upward into a smile.

Hu Bo felt that Bai Lu'er had become exceptionally strange, entirely different from before.

Yet this difference might not necessarily be a bad thing.

It could give them a greater hope of survival.

Take Zhang Tao and his people, for instance!

Had it been before, Bai Lu'er surely would have forgiven them.

Or she would have simply let Zhang Tao and the others leave.

Either way, it would have left endless future troubles.

Now, completely eliminating these traitors, though ruthless in method, solved the problem once and for all.

"Next, let us completely conquer the entire Bai City..." Bai Lu'er once again revealed an eerie smile.

...

Xue Feng did not head straight back to Jiang City; instead, he took a detour to the docks.

He wanted to see if he could scavenge any supplies or the like.

Now, when Xue Feng searched for supplies, he no longer focused solely on urgently needed items like food and medicine.

Anything that could be of use became his target.

He had to admit that making this trip was worthwhile.

Although Xue Feng did not find items like food, he discovered something else of value.

In a courtyard near the docks, several brand-new engineering vehicles were parked.

There were excavators, forklifts, loaders, and similar machinery.

Furthermore, the keys were still inserted in the ignitions.

In the apocalypse, driving something like a loader offered a high degree of safety.

Even if roads were blocked, one could forcefully smash right through.

Yet no one had touched these vehicles, and the reason was very simple.

They had no diesel!

Brand-new vehicles like these typically came without fuel, awaiting refueling after sale.

This played right into Xue Feng's hands, and he felt quite excited at the sight.

Because after witnessing the terrifying scale of this zombie horde, Xue Feng had conceived an idea.

What if a zombie horde attacked his camp in the future?

Build tall walls?

That would be difficult to rely upon.

Currently, the base's walls were a little over three meters high, and Xue Feng could reinforce them to five meters.

Zombies presumably wouldn't be able to climb them.

However, to reinforce them to a height of five meters, the only feasible method would be using wooden planks or iron railings.

There were no other tools available.

Once the number of zombies became too great, they would easily topple the perimeter walls.

Just like Bai Lu'er and the others' base.

That was precisely because there were too many zombies that they had breached the perimeter.

Therefore, Xue Feng now intended to think in reverse.

Since perimeter walls couldn't stop the zombies, could he dig a trench instead?

If there were a trench five meters deep, it would completely keep the zombies out.

Ordinary zombies, regardless of their speed or climbing ability,

would never be able to climb back up once they fell into the ravine.

Moreover, various traps and the like could be added inside the trench.

The only problem now was whether there was anyone in his base capable of operating an excavator.

However, that shouldn't be too difficult of a problem.

With enough practice, anyone could learn.

By the afternoon, Xue Feng had returned to the base.

He immediately instructed Gu Xiaoqian to find someone who knew how to operate an excavator and check if there were any talents of that sort within the base.

Gu Xiaoqian quickly brought over several people who had previously operated excavators.

Xue Feng selected two of the most experienced among them; not only could they drive them, but they could also repair them.

This eliminated a great deal of trouble.

He assigned these two men to work in shifts of sixteen hours a day, striving to excavate a defensive trench as soon as possible.

One that could withstand attacks from zombies.

Once all of this was arranged, Xue Feng returned to his living room and checked his spatial backpack.

Although his spatial backpack had already been upgraded once and could store a vast amount of items,

it still needed to be cleared out when necessary.

Right now, his spatial backpack still contained quite a few things.

A large quantity of chemical fertilizer, food, and bottled mineral water.

These three categories occupied a massive amount of space.

Xue Feng did not immediately take out all the fertilizer.

Large-scale planting had not yet begun; only small-scale cultivation inside the base was underway.

He would take the fertilizer out once he found suitable land later on.

Otherwise, he would only have to move it again.

Aside from these, various miscellaneous items might be used at any moment, such as ropes.

Then, he spotted something else: a piano!

He had accidentally noticed it at the docks last time and casually stowed it away.

Right! Hao Yifei was a singer; she should know how to play the piano.

He would give it to her as a gift!
