Chapter 208 - 209: Wang Lei: Blood Debts Must Be Paid in Blood!

The blissfully unaware Lu Chuan had no idea that a gaze was fixed upon everything below from above.

"Four heads of fourth-tier evolved zombies, it seems the hard work has paid off!"

Ji Ruxue, sitting cross-legged in the room, allowed a slight smile to emerge.

At this moment, she was using the Spirit Communication Technique to manipulate a little bee, watching the scene unfold.

She saw the four fourth-tier zombies standing outside the farm’s wall.

Even Ji Ruxue felt a profound sense of security in her heart.

Now, like Lu Chuan, she was also filled with joy inside.

Because with the addition of these four fourth-tier zombies, Qingshui Farm’s strength was greatly increased.

It’s worth noting, before adding her father, the Corpse King, the entire farm only had two fourth-tier combatants.

But in a blink of an eye, the farm’s fourth-tier strength had increased to six!

This made Ji Ruxue even more confident in her fight against the human side.

In her opinion, as long as the human Survivor Base didn’t deploy large-scale armed forces, with just the Evolutionary Squads, they couldn’t possibly be opponents for her and her father.

With just fourth-tier strengths, the surrounding Survivor Base Cities might not stand a chance, so how could they compete with their farm?

...

Jianghai Survivor Base.

Inside a massive conference room.

At the center of the large conference table, fifteen Evolvers, with every five sitting together, were discussing something.

At this moment, Wang Lei also sat with his team members inside, exactly five people.

After returning to the Base City, not long after, his team’s vacancies were filled by the base city, and now he had four teammates again.

The reason Wang Lei was in this conference room was that the highest command had selected three elite squads to carry out a mission in the Jiangnan City District.

This time, they were called together to be given formal orders, after which they could depart.

Originally, Wang Lei’s squad wasn’t initially selected to undertake this task, mainly because his team had just been replenished, and there were two newcomers, so it wasn’t suitable for them to take on a mission immediately.

However, Wang Lei volunteered and expressed a strong desire, coupled with the fact that his team had previously carried out related missions, and was more familiar with the Jiangnan City District’s situation, so in the end, the highest command agreed.

After all, it was thanks to Wang Lei that the Invisibility Squad’s matter was exposed so quickly, something the highest command acknowledged.

"Captain Wang, I’ve looked at the mission data this time, it’s quite complex!

But this time, Captain Wang, you really stood out, being able to identify issues with the Invisibility Squad. Your sharpness is truly impressive!"

At this time, a bald middle-aged man sitting opposite Wang Lei, expressed admiration.

"Haha, Captain Zhang, you flatter me. It was sheer coincidence, I had been to Jiangnan City District before.

So I was somewhat familiar with that side’s situation, and coupled with various inconsistencies in the Invisibility Squad members’ words, I chose to take a gamble, and luckily, it paid off."

Wang Lei shook his head humbly and said.

Previously, he only had suspicions with no real evidence, and his decision to hypnotize the Invisibility Squad was rather risky in hindsight.

Because if there had been no issue on the other side, not only would Wang Lei create four more enemies, but he would also face severe punishment from the Base City.

After all, both the Invisibility Squad and Wang Lei belonged under the Base City’s official forces, making them de facto comrades.

Wang Lei’s unprovoked actions against comrades was absolutely prohibited by the Base City.

It was only due to the highest command personally absolving Wang Lei of blame, otherwise, despite his great contribution, he’d certainly face some consequences.

"Captain Wang, you’re too modest. If it were someone else, they likely wouldn’t dare to take such a risk regardless of their suspicions."

Captain Zhang unconsciously stroked his own smooth head, full of admiration for Wang Lei’s actions.

"Indeed, not just anyone possesses such courage as Captain Wang does. That the Base City was able to quickly locate Liu Captain’s murderer owes much to Captain Wang.

Such decisiveness is something I also admire a lot!"

Just as Wang Lei was preparing to respond, suddenly, a voice came from beside him.

It was someone from the squad sitting next to Wang Lei’s team speaking.

The speaker was a young man, not old but with a head full of white hair. A scar on his face gave his smile a somewhat grim appearance.

"Captain Li, why are you joining in the fun too?"

Wang Lei saw the speaker and shook his head helplessly.

"Haha, I’m just speaking the truth, Captain Wang, being overly modest could be seen as arrogance."

Captain Li chuckled and said.

Immediately, Captain Li looked at Wang Lei, continuing, "Among our three squads, only your team, Captain Wang, has carried out missions in the Jiangnan City District before; we’ll probably need your team’s guidance later on."

"Indeed, Jiangnan City District is quite eerie. Captain Wang, this time, we two squads will be following your lead."

The opposite Captain Zhang also nodded, smiling.

"You two..."

Listening to their words, Wang Lei understood they intended for his team to take the lead; he couldn’t agree and immediately waved his hand to refuse.

At this moment.

Thud, thud, thud~

The sound of firm footsteps approached from the side.

When the newcomer was seen, everyone’s expressions stiffened, all rising in unison, and the conference room fell into instant silence.

It was the highest command walking towards them.

"Everyone, please sit."

The highest commander sat at the head and pressed his hands down towards everyone.

"Yes!"

Everyone took their seats.

"The reason for gathering you all today is regarding the mission."

"The mission data has already been sent to you, so you should all be aware.

This mission is extremely important, and I hope that you three captains can give it your all to capture that ’mysterious girl’ in the Jiangnan City District for me!"

The highest command spoke with a serious expression and a deep voice.

"Rest assured, sir. We guarantee to complete the mission!"

Wang Lei and the others stood up again, responding loudly.

"Good, Captain Wang, you are the most familiar with this mission, so once you arrive, you’ll be in charge of the operations. Make sure that the mysterious girl does not escape!"

The highest command nodded and then looked at Wang Lei, instructing him.

"Yes!"

Wang Lei responded solemnly, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

He remembered the last trip to the Jiangnan City District, where two of his teammates met with tragic deaths, connecting it to this mysterious girl mission.

He suspected, highly likely, that this person was the one who killed his two teammates.

Blood debt... must be repaid with blood!
