Chapter 227 - 220: Heading to the Celestial Wolf Base

Chapter 227: Chapter 220: Heading to the Celestial Wolf Base

Of course, Mengde wasn’t about to let Wang Lie’s S-Class Superpower—Zombie Puppet—go to waste.

It would be a terrible shame for such a great Superpower to disappear along with Wang Lie!

Even if he didn’t need it himself, he could always give it to someone else!

So, Mengde silently activated "Superpower Ability Seizure." In just a moment, the Superpower was his.

Meanwhile, Wang Lie still hadn’t realized what was happening.

Of course, he had no idea what had happened at all.

By the time he sluggishly caught on, his Superpower had completely vanished.

"You... what did you do to me... How could my Superpower just disappear..."

Wang Lie was truly starting to panic!

The only reason he had been so arrogant these past few days, so unafraid of zombies, was entirely because of the Superpower he had awakened.

Now that his Superpower was gone, he wasn’t worth a damn thing.

"You... Give me back my Superpower!"

In his panic, Wang Lie tripped and fell flat on his face.

But Mengde just chuckled, completely unfazed.

He slapped him across the face without a shred of hesitation.

"Oh? Since when did you have a Superpower?"

"You must be mistaken. That’s my Superpower!"

Wang Lie wanted to vomit blood.

If he hadn’t just used his Superpower a few minutes ago, he might have actually believed the bullshit coming out of this man’s mouth.

"You... you bastard..."

Perhaps Mengde didn’t control his strength properly, because before Wang Lie could even finish speaking, the slap killed him instantly.

You know... the kind where his head was knocked completely askew...

And judging from the guy’s reaction right before he died, he probably didn’t rest in peace.

"Uh..."

This was awkward... He hadn’t even asked where Gao Lan was yet, and the guy just croaked.

’He really couldn’t take a hit!’ Mengde grumbled to himself.

Fortunately, some of this guy’s underlings were still alive.

He could only hope to get her whereabouts out of one of them.

Just then, the battle in the area was drawing to a close.

With Zhao Yu and the others working together, they had completely wiped out the several hundred zombies.

Everyone was grinning from ear to ear as they looked at the Zombie Crystal Cores they had obtained.

This haul would allow them to significantly raise their Superpower Levels once they returned to the base.

At Mengde’s request, Zhao Yu and his team hadn’t used lethal force.

Several of Wang Lie’s men had been captured alive.

And they successfully learned of Gao Lan’s whereabouts from a few of the captives.

"The Celestial Wolf Base captured Gao Lan?"

Mengde raised an eyebrow.

He had never heard of this base before.

But since it had "Base" in its name, he figured it must be a Survivor Base, just like his own Yulong Base.

Jiang Haibing’s next words indeed confirmed his suspicion.

"I know that base."

"It’s located near the border between the West District and the South District of East Sea City."

"I’ve led people there before to explore and gather supplies."

"There are about a thousand people gathered there."

"The base’s leader is a Superpower User who calls himself Celestial Wolf."

As he said this, Jiang Haibing scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

Mengde raised an eyebrow.

’Looks like there’s a story here.’

Under the teasing, half-smiling gazes of Mengde and his women, Jiang Haibing spoke sheepishly.

"We had a run-in with the Celestial Wolf Base before."

"I lost the fight. They chased us all the way back here."

’Oh, so that’s what happened!’

Mengde and the women all wore expressions of sudden understanding.

No wonder Jiang Haibing had been so "shy."

After all, for the proud captain of a Public Security squad, it was hardly a glorious tale.

Fortunately, Mengde didn’t press the issue.

He was considerate of Jiang Haibing’s feelings, at least to some degree.

He went on to ask more questions about the Celestial Wolf Base.

Questions like the base’s overall strength and the number of Superpower Users.

Jiang Haibing told him everything he knew.

After getting a general idea of the situation at the Celestial Wolf Base, Mengde had a clear picture of what to expect.

The rest he would have to see for himself on-site.

Still, he was confident in his own abilities.

"By the way, what are your plans now, Brother Bing?"

"Are you going to stay here?"

Mengde was thinking about recruiting Jiang Haibing, the public security squad captain.

But of course, that would depend on Jiang Haibing’s own wishes.

He was only asking now to casually sound him out.

"No, there’s hardly anyone left in the Yunxuan Villa District."

"There’s no reason to stay, and I don’t want to, either."

"So I’m planning to head back to our station and see what’s what."

"When the apocalypse began, my little sister sent me a message saying she was there."

Jiang Haibing said honestly.

Mengde nodded in understanding.

While Jiang Haibing’s Superpower and character were both decent, he wasn’t so exceptional that Mengde felt the need to personally extend an invitation to join him.

So, naturally, he didn’t insist.

"Anyway, no matter what, I really have to thank you and your people this time, Brother Mengde!"

Jiang Haibing patted his chest in a guarantee.

"If you ever need anything in the future, just come find me, Jiang Haibing. I swear I’ll do everything in my power to help."

"Yeah, that’s right! Count me in!"

"Me too!"

"+1!"

"..."

As Jiang Haibing spoke, the colleagues behind him all began to chime in.

Even though they were from the public security station, they weren’t ungrateful animals.

Mengde had saved them.

It was only right that they return the favor next time.

Mengde smiled at the sight.

’This group is pretty interesting!’

’Looks like there really are some "good sons of the people" in the institutions of Hua Country after all.’

’And not all of them are the kind of people obsessed with "getting ahead" by studying English...’

"We’ll have to leave Doctor Gao Lan in your hands, Brother Mengde."

"We wouldn’t be much help if we went along."

Mengde nodded.

He had come specifically for Gao Lan, so of course he was going to see it through.

Seeing this, Jiang Haibing also breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that with Brother Mengde on the case, Doctor Gao Lan would be fine.

With that settled, Jiang Haibing had his men start packing their things and loading up the vehicles.

A large amount of supplies had been stockpiled in the Yunxuan Villa District.

These were all supplies that Jiang Haibing and his colleagues had collected from nearby supermarkets.

Now that Jiang Haibing was leaving, he only took a small portion with him.

The rest he left for Mengde.

Mengde, naturally, did not stand on ceremony.

He took a quick look around. Thanks to the villa district’s well-maintained infrastructure, none of the supplies were damaged or spoiled.

So, with a wave of his hand, Mengde took it all.

’I can distribute some of it at the base when I get back.’

After looting the villa district clean, Mengde boarded the RV headed for the Celestial Wolf Base.

What he didn’t expect, however, was that as soon as he boarded, he found himself being "taken for a ride"...

A wonderfully soft, springy sensation pressed against him from behind...

Ahead of him, two more women with long, slender legs were striding toward him.

"Sister Yun, what are you all doing..."

"Hubby, we got a little tired earlier. We were hoping you could help us... relax a bit..."

...
