the shaman:"I have no intention of interfering in the affairs of TigerClan. I only brought back the she-cat who saved me. The true purpose of my visit was to spread new discoveries about food, methods...Several people exchanged glances after hearing Wu Lianyi's words, and Ying Ao spoke directly:

"If your analysis is correct, then we should best use the 'drag' tactic now, not give them a clear answer, and then wait and see."

“Okay! But we can’t just sit back and do nothing. At least we need to figure out which side developed the crystal core shield technology, who has it in their possession. And we have to keep a close eye on our three precious assets, otherwise, if they get poached, we'll be the ones who lose out.”

Wu Lianyi smiled and then added:

The capital base's crystal core energy shield only opens at night because of energy consumption issues. It is estimated that it consumes a large amount of crystal cores just overnight.

And our core gun, after being upgraded, one level zero core is equivalent to fifty bullets, let alone the first and second level cores. Our three little treasures have already broken through the problem of core utilization rate. You said, if we combine the two technologies, wouldn't this core light shield be able to stay open 24/7

This way, the base's security will be better. If it is promoted nationwide after that, other medium and small bases will benefit more. With the addition of nuclear guns, we will have at least one more advantage in fighting zombies.

After hearing Wu Lianyi's analysis, the four of them looked at each other with a flicker in their eyes, as if they completely understood why the other party said that what mattered most right now wasn't their meaning.

I think Ziying's analysis makes sense. Let's investigate to see if it's true.

"I also agree with Ziying's suggestion."

If Purple Hawk's analysis is correct, then the initiative is in our hands. We need to stay calm and collected.

The three captains reached a consensus.

“I’m responsible for holding off that Liu secretary. Tong Ying, you take Feiying to scout the base for information. The rest of you will receive missions in batches. Our Tier 3 ability users are too few, even if we negotiate, our capital is a little weak, let alone if it breaks down. At the very least, we need enough strength to retreat safely.”

The eagle’s wings immediately made a decision.

"Received. Tomorrow, my brother and I will go investigate."

Sun Yi immediately nodded.

"I'm responsible for informing Black Panther and Dawn squads. They shouldn't know too much. Recently, I've asked them to go out and kill more zombies. At least they should accumulate more nuclei. Whether it's for upgrading or using in the nuclear guns, it's their own capital."

Hawk decided to assign himself a task directly.

"I also want to remind them to keep a close eye on their crystal guns. These are their assets, don't let the people from the Capital Base coax them away with just a few words."

The Mastiff bared its teeth and said to the Falcon,

The hawk nodded, indicating understanding. Those people couldn't find a breakthrough against them, so they would definitely turn their attention to the two civilian grave-robbing teams.

"I'm going to chat with the three treasures and analyze their relationships. I don't want them to drop the ball at a critical moment."

The mastiff stretched lazily and spoke directly.

OK, then everyone just follow the plan. If there are any changes, remember to communicate with each other.

Over the next two weeks, the squad from W City began taking on missions according to regulations. They searched for supplies, cleared zombies, and transported large equipment. As long as the task was settled with crystal cores and within their capabilities, several squads took turns accepting them, keeping busy. Naturally, the rewards were also abundant.

This wave of operations on their part did cause the Capital Base some anxiety. Liu, the secretary, went to Eagle Wing twice, but Eagle Wing gave the same answer each time:

"Liu, Secretary, I have relayed your proposal to the person in charge of City W. They also seem to have disagreements and are discussing it. They will notify me when they have a result. What do you think"

"It's been over ten days, and there's still no result"

"No, if you don't believe me, I can call from a satellite phone right now."

Hawk Wing didn't give the other side a chance to refuse. In front of Liu's secretary, he directly dialed the satellite phone. Although the signal was poor, the reply from City W was very clear, just to wait for notification (Hawk Wing had communicated with them in advance, and the person in charge of City W told them to act cheaply and would cooperate with them).

Liu, the secretary, also understood that these military personnel were rigid and would never act without orders. He could only manage a wry smile, turned around, and left to report back.

Looking at Liu's secretary leaving, Eagle Wing let out a cold snort and immediately strengthened the protection level for the three researchers.

Military Command Center

Even Zhou Feng and Zhou Mei, who had only shown their faces when greeting others, were also talking to their old father about the recent actions of the W city group.

A tall man with a stern face and white temples sat in a chair, listening to the two reports. He tapped his fingers on the table before speaking:

You two find an opportunity, avoid the eyes of the Sang family, and contact the leader of the escort team in W City. See what their true intentions are.

"If possible, it would be best to bring them into our camp. We can't be too forceful right now, the government is holding up our supply lines, making us very passive."

The man sighed and said.

If it weren't for those young soldiers, for the brothers who lived and died together, he wouldn't be fighting with those political foxes at his age.

"Father General, the Sang family never had good intentions. That's why they sent my brother and me away, claiming they found a large stockpile of supplies. In the end, they only found a small storage room, with barely enough stuff to fill our teeth."

Zhou Meiying's face was filled with indignation, especially when facing her own father. Naturally, she had something to say.

"Xiao Mei, don't make the general embarrassed! Even if we know they did it on purpose, we have to accept these tactics. At least when we go out, we can get some supplies, which is better than having nothing."

And the people of W city are not stupid, otherwise their transactions would have been completed long ago, there was no need to drag it to now. At least now it gives us room to operate.

Zhou Feng whispered softly to comfort him.

His face bore a resemblance to General Zhou, with five points of similarity. Before the apocalypse, he studied at the Capital National Defense University and was a reserve officer. After the apocalypse, he naturally came to his father's side, becoming his right-hand man, engaging in power struggles with the political faction led by the Sang family.

Both sides have their own strengths, and in the midst of this open and covert struggle, a temporarily balanced situation has emerged. However, the arrival of the W City escort team could very well disrupt this balance, leaving them to take things one step at a time.

"General, the escort team from W City that we picked up was led by someone clearly from the W City military. Since they are naturally on our side of the front lines, I think we could try to win them over."

Zhou Feng gave his analysis.

"This is our advantage, you should make the most of it, but we also need to have a bottom line."

"Yes!"

After the two siblings bowed to each other, they left the office and planned their next move.

Inside the Provisional Government Building, Secretary Liu was reporting to Mayor Sang. However, after hearing the report, Mayor Sang's face turned grim and he said:

The Zhou siblings are already back, don't waste any more time, just grab them if you have to!f an hour, the pot of soup dumplings was devoured clean. Jia Yao ate until his stomach rounded out, sighing comfortably. The four adults had also eaten their fill, which was already the best meal they...
