Zhai Man said on WeChat: "If it were in the past, I would have held the same view in both the North and South regions."
At that time, all three districts will exert pressure together.
Now Zhai Man no longer cooperates with the North and South districts; his scales have tipped towards the West district.
Yu An received the message and sent a thank you emoji.
He then asked Zhai Man, "How are my eldest and fifth children?"
"They're doing well; they just finished up in the North District."
"By the way, Wu Zai went out. I'm not sure if he's going to the West District."
Although the zombie outbreak has been resolved recently, post-disaster reconstruction remains a major issue.
Wu Zai had a heavy burden on his shoulders. He had wanted to leave for a long time, but he hadn't been able to.
I don't know what happened this time, but before he could finish the task assigned to him, he just quit.
For the ever-steady Wu Zai, the idea of quitting is simply impossible.
Zhai Man messaged Yu An, wanting to find out what had happened to Wu Zai.
Is Fifth Prince coming?
Yu An typed rapidly: "He hasn't arrived in the West District yet. I don't know if he's coming over."
However, judging from the looks of it, they're probably coming.
Thinking about the scene after Wu Zai arrives, Yu An suddenly felt a little worried.
Now, Chiu Chiu lives in the largest room, for no other reason than that the little ones and the Zombie King are all crammed into it.
When Wu Zai arrives, another one will have to squeeze into this big room.
Yu An was extremely worried.
There's no shortage of empty rooms in the West District; even if each kid had their own room, it would be more than enough. But instead of living in the empty rooms, they all squeezed together.
Yu An only worried for a short while. Compared to the children's housing problem, he was more worried about Pei Si.
"Pei Si is a seasoned veteran; he'll be fine."
Xie Chiyuan, who had just said he would bring Pei Si out, immediately abandoned the plan.
"He told me he won't be coming back for the time being,"
Yu An: "?"
Yu An didn't quite understand: "Why doesn't he come back? The North District is clearly trying to cause conflict with us. If we leave Pei Si here, what if something happens to him?"
"Good boy, you have to believe in Pei Si's abilities."
Xie Chiyuan trusted Pei Si a lot, so he believed that even if Pei Si didn't leave, he would be able to protect himself.
Yu An still didn't understand: "What is Pei Si still doing in the North District right now?"
"He heard about the demands made by the North District, so he had an idea."
What are your thoughts?
“If we can’t reach an agreement with the North District, he will assassinate the North District’s boss.”
Yu An: "..."
Yu An's mouth opened slightly.
What was Pei Si thinking when he decided to assassinate the boss of the North District?
Even the most outrageous boss in the North District has people protecting him.
Unless Xie Chiyuan goes there, how could Pei Si possibly succeed in the assassination?
Yu An was skeptical that Pei Si could succeed in his operation, while Xie Chiyuan was much more casual in comparison.
"We need to deal with Sun Mo's matter first. If we really can't solve it, then we'll have Pei Si take action."
The reason they left Pei Si in the North District was to use her as leverage against them.
Little did they know, Pei Si was also plotting her counterattack.
Everyone pointed the finger at them for secretly harboring the zombie king, while at the same time, the laboratory was also rushing to make progress.
With Xiaolu as a cooperative control group, Gu Ainan's experiment is progressing faster than expected.
He has accomplished his first small goal: to completely deprive both zombie kings of the ability to feed on humans.
Although their health was already low, Gu Ainan's first vial of medicine still completely wiped them out.
It's gone; that's just the first step.
The second step is the most important: Gu Ainan needs to find something that these two zombie kings can eat.
The mutants were feeding on the nutritional paste, and Gu Ainan was preparing to follow suit and develop a nutritional supplement that the zombie king could eat.
"Dad, when will the nutritional supplements be ready?"
"immediately."
Gu Ainan is getting more and more skilled at it, and he will be able to complete the final step in the next couple of days.
Upon hearing this, Yu An was also filled with anticipation.
Political negotiations continued, but rumors that the West District was harboring a zombie king spread from the North District made even those within the West District uneasy.
They don't care about the zombie king's personality, whether he's dangerous, or how much he's done for them.
All they knew was that the zombies were all dead, so the zombie king shouldn't be alive either.
A wave of public opinion swept through the western district, with people in the base spontaneously leaving messages for Xie Chiyuan on a large scale.
"Kill the Zombie King!"
"If we don't kill the zombie king, and the zombie disease breaks out again, we'll be dragged back into our nightmare!"
"The Zombie King shouldn't exist. If this Zombie King truly cared about humanity, he wouldn't still be unwilling to die for us!"
"Don't protect the zombie king, kill him!"
Yu Anquan saw all of these blunt and emotionally charged comments.
Upon seeing it, Yu An could hardly believe her eyes.
He lives in the base now, and tomorrow when he walks down the street, many people will greet him.
He also got to know many people at the base.
These people are very friendly; they live hard, are kind to others, and even give him small gifts and his baby.
Yu An always felt that they were a group of lovely humans.
But now—
These people, whom he had always considered kind, demanded that Xie Chiyuan kill Sun Mo.
They knew Sun Mo, and they knew that Sun Mo had done many things for humanity.
But once Sun Mo is no longer useful, they will kill him.
"Xie Chiyuan."
Looking at these words, Yu An felt like she couldn't breathe: "Is this a message posted by online trolls in the North District?"
He didn't believe it was left by one of their own people.
Xie Chiyuan was silent for a few seconds before finally speaking: "Their IP addresses are all in the West District."
A large portion of the comments have IP addresses located at the main base.
Yu An shook his head, his face grim: "How could this be..."
How could they be so heartless?
In a flash, Yu An remembered another sentence.
Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts.
This is a saying that humanity believes in most, and they are putting it into practice in their actions toward Sun Mo.
"Xie Chiyuan, Sun Mo has never done anything bad to humans, but humans still have to kill him."
"What about me, and us?"
For some reason, Yu An thought of herself and Zai Zai: "I, Zai Zai and I are not human either. We are mutants, and we also pose a threat to humans."
"Will they want us to die in the future, just like they did today?"
Xie Chiyuan did not answer the question that Yu An had thought of.
He simply put his arm around Yu An's shoulder and told her in a low but firm voice, "I'm still here."
“I will not let Sun Mo die, just as I will not let you and the children die.”
"An'an, trust me."
Yu An looked into Xie Chiyuan's deep eyes, and after a long while, nodded.
Xie Chiyuan has his own trusted subordinates. In response to the online public opinion, he not only held a meeting with his subordinates, but also involved Tan Zhan.
Tan Zhan is very good at this.
With his involvement, the entire internet began public relations efforts in the next two days.
The North District exposed their secret possession of the Zombie King.
The West District's straightforward response
"What zombie king? We've never seen any zombie king in the entire West District."
Sun Mo was directly exposed in the North District.
West District responds again—
"What evidence do you have that Sun Mo is the zombie king? Do you have any evidence that he bites people and causes them to become infected?"
"You have no evidence, right? I have no evidence. He's not a zombie."
The West District's response also included a video.
