Yang Bo felt Zhao Qiankun was too confident, but he was smart enough not to say anything and just focused on driving. To avoid attracting the attention of a zombie horde, they didn’t drive too close but followed from a distance.
While they were talking, another group of zombies appeared ahead, numbering around fifty to sixty thousand. In comparison to the entire horde in Luyun County, this was considered a small group. Everyone cooperated tacitly and it took them less than twenty minutes to deal with all of them, digging out each crystal core and even burning the zombie corpses until nothing was left.
Once back on the road, after Fang Yuxin returned to the car, Bai Ye’s voice came through the communicator, "There’s a fork in the road about a hundred meters ahead, we’ll take that route. Inform everyone to get ready."
Fang Yuxin responded and then hung up the call, turning to Fang Yuyang to say, "Brother, contact Chen Qiao and the others, I’ll check out the situation ahead." It was clear that Zhao Qiankun wouldn’t just let them take a detour without preparation, unless they could find a way to delay Zhao Qiankun’s pursuit!
After finishing her statement, Fang Yuxin took out a spray bottle filled with chemicals from under the seat. She had got the bottle from someone in the Qiankun Mercenary Group during the chaos. They seemed hesitant at first but perhaps out of respect for her status as a second-level Wood Element Superpower User, they gave it to her after a moment’s hesitation.
She opened the lid and sent her Spiritual Sense into the bottle to wrap around a rice grain-sized amount of the chemical, then extended her Spiritual Sense as low as possible to check the situation ahead.
Since they were now quite close to Luyun County, Fang Yuxin saw many zombie groups wandering around. She deliberately used her Spiritual Sense to carry the droplet of chemical into the midst of the zombies, drawing them towards it.
Meanwhile, other leaders who got the message ordered their people to speed up and drive their vehicles to the fork in the road as soon as possible to avoid getting blocked by the zombie horde. Just as they were about to reach the fork, a horde of zombies insanely charged towards them from a distance!
Bai Zhengli quickly commanded, "Turn onto the fork road!" As he spoke, the driver swiftly turned the vehicle towards the fork.
Zhao Qiankun, watching from behind, was furious, "They’re actually trying to escape! Chase after them!"
At the same time, Bai Zhengli was also giving orders, instructing his people to throw the problematic spray bottles onto the road behind them and smash them, using the chemicals inside to attract the zombie horde’s attention. Everyone else immediately followed suit!
It had to be said, the effect of the chemicals was remarkably good! The zombies that were chasing them stopped in their tracks, greedily licking the chemicals spilled on the ground, and even started to fight over it!
Those people weren’t fools; they clearly understood that any further delay meant either the zombie horde or Zhao Qiankun would catch up. So, they acted swiftly. The gasoline and diesel had all been hidden in Bai Ye’s vehicle by Fang Yuxin amidst the chaos. As her moves were too fast, no one else realized it, assuming it was something Bai Zhengli and Bai Ye had prepared in advance.
As for how they managed to avoid the Base’s inspection and hid this batch of fuel, people were curious but not foolish enough to ask. With space superpower users now emerging, though they were shrouded in secrecy, almost like a name without a face, everyone speculated that Bai Ye and Bai Zhengli must have a highly concealed space superpower user working for them.
But after witnessing Bai Zhengli and Bai Ye’s power, no one dared guess who that person might be.
Fang Yuxin had only brought out a limited amount of gasoline and diesel. After all, it was a scarce resource and she wasn’t sure if anyone would desert with it, potentially wasting her fuel.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Fang Jintang used "Earth-shattering" once more, shaking the still-burning zombies off the roadway. Then, everyone continued on their journey!
