Chapter 367: Chapter 367: Two Factions
“B city?”
Su Jin frowned and began to recall.
“Yes, these past few days a group from B City arrived, claiming they are from the National Control Center, here to inspect the various bases. However, rumors also suggest that this is a move by the higher-ups to implement unified management across the bases, hence they sent people to scout things out first,”
Mao Zhihang said. He had heard quite a few pieces of news in the store these past couple of days, but that was the gist of it.
“Exactly, exactly, those exact words, ‘National Control Center.' The moment she mentioned it, I felt a thump in my heart, terrified that it would bring major trouble to our base,”
Huang Yunxiang recalled what those two people said before leaving and couldn't help but worry.
Even Lin Yunguo and Liu Xiuying, who had just heard about the incident, couldn't help feeling anxious.
If the store really disappeared, how would they sell the items from their space?
“Don't worry, Liang Jiuhui knows what's important. He would be truly foolish to touch our store,”
Lu Hao said.
Su Jin also nodded in agreement. She wasn't worried about Liang Jiuhui; her concern was more about the group Mao Zhihang talked about. Since they could travel all the way from B City to S City, those people must possess some capabilities. If they really caused a disturbance at the store, she truly worried that Guo Yang and her family might get hurt.
“Daughter-in-law, don't worry. We will all head down to the store and keep an eye on things these next few days. I refuse to believe they would dare to mess with us on our turf,” Lu Guanhai said.
“Exactly, exactly, we have many hands, and besides, our special abilities are not weak. There's nothing to fear,”
Su Xiangzhe also offered words of comfort.
His hair had grown a bit during these days, so he was no longer wearing his hat every day. Though it was still just a light layer of hair, because everyone ate well and stayed active in the apocalypse, he now appeared much more lively.
“Alright, I understand. All of you also be careful,”
Comforted by the two fathers, her worries could no longer ferment.
But speaking of B City, could it be that they started causing trouble from this point on?
B City was indeed the central city of the whole country before the apocalypse, but it turned into one of several major power bases afterward.
Among them, the Han Family and the Wei Family were predominant. The Wei Family was okay, but the Han Family never stopped expanding their power. It was unknown what they relied on, but they had annexed various bases, large and small, placing their descendants and confidants in those bases, even making some of them base leaders.
But the Wei Family always maintained a silent posture, and because they never stirred up trouble, many bases were willing to support the Wei faction.
The upper echelons all understood that in the first few years of the apocalypse, and likely even longer afterward, it was natural for each base to develop independently. However, unifying these bases under one management was the trend. But for now, not only were communications broken down, even transportation was disrupted, so they were still in the early stages of individual development.
“So, is it time to start picking sides now?”
Lu Hao asked after listening to Su Jin's words.
“Yes, it might not be very clear now, but soon, the Han and Wei families will form opposing sides, and that's when the Han Family will start causing trouble,”
Su Jin sighed.
In her past life as well, she couldn't understand why these rulers, perhaps too well-fed, couldn't focus on killing more zombies to tackle the Zombie Virus instead.
Why must they always knock each other down?
She just didn't know which faction the person Guo Yang offended today belonged to.
“I know… That woman, her name seems to be Han Jia? Han Jiajia? Anyway, her surname is Han!” Lu Guanhai suddenly said.
“Hmm, then there's nothing to worry about,”
Su Jin said, smiling after recalling something.
“Why?” the family asked in unison.
“Because, in his past life, Liang Jiuhui sided with the Wei Family,” Su Jin replied.
Huang Yunxiang sighed with relief after hearing this, their store was finally completely safe…
“Xiao Jin, if the Wei Family always maintains a silence, how did they become rivals of the Han Family?”
Lu Hao asked, puzzled. From what he heard, the Han Family's influence and ambitions were not small, so if the Wei Family relied solely on silence, they would have been eliminated by the Han Family, right?
“Exactly, brother-in-law,” said what I was also confused about. “Does the Wei Family have some powerful figures stationed there?” Lin Xiuyuan also asked.
After hearing the two of them, Su Jin nodded her head and said, “The Wei Family… relies on developing agriculture.”
Although the Wei Family faction also had several powerful figures, they too focused the majority of their research and energy on developing agriculture.
Agriculture? Farming?
“I see, I understand now,” Lu Hao said.
If that was the case, it's no wonder.
Using grain to kill, soldiers without bloodshed.
The Wei Family is indeed clever.
“Ah! That's more like it! This is what decent people should be doing. All this annexation and fratricide is just wrong!”
Lu Guanhai commented after listening, believing that farming was always the most honorable endeavor.
Meanwhile, at that moment in the base, Liang Jiuhui was also discussing this matter in the office with Liang Wei, Li Haochu, Ye Rongxin, and Elder Ding.
If you could say they were discussing at this moment.
Sheng Jing thought silently.
“Can you believe how ridiculous they are? That woman actually came to me asking to shut down Guo Yang's store?”
Liang Jiuhui seemed to find this very amusing.
“Hmph, that woman prides herself on being the strongest in the Wood Element. But look at her vines; they're like willow branches, barely comparable to our Su Jin's! We'll have Su Jin show her who's boss the moment they return!”
Li Haochu got so excited towards the end that he slammed the table.
“Cough, cough”
Liang Wei glanced at Li Haochu—what's this about being a boss?
“Shutting down Heart Talk Store is out of the question. Honestly, the base's current food situation hasn't been highlighted much, and Heart Talk Store is a big reason for that,” Ding He, who was in charge of logistics, said.
Initially, there were always food shortages daily in the base cafeteria. Later, the survivors realized that even if they couldn't buy food in the base cafeteria, they could spend a few more Crystal Cores at Heart Talk Convenience Store to get what they needed. Moreover, the items sold at Heart Talk Convenience Store were very easy to store, ensuring that everyone had enough food even when they were out.
This indirectly made everyone realize the importance of Crystal Cores, and the daily missions issued by the base were immediately taken up by teams of survivors who went out to kill zombies. Now, the power of the survivors in the base had also greatly increased.
It could be said that it alleviated the base's food pressure and also enhanced the overall strength of the base.
A magical store like this, they'd hold onto it rather than shut it down!
“Hmm, Sir, why don't I just go and take them out right now?”
Ye Rongxin said, looking at the new names added to his little notebook.
