Standing at a distance, Wen Yu and Sun Ruixing naturally could not understand Sun Aotian's thoughts at this moment.
This was also where Sun Aotian's intelligence lay. If Wen Yu knew what Sun Aotian was thinking, he would undoubtedly eliminate this ungrateful wolf without hesitation!
Unfortunately, Wen Yu had never considered Sun Aotian's view of him. Sun Ruixing also could not comprehend the mindset of a petty person.
Thus, a potential disaster was quietly buried!
"That's not quite appropriate," Sun Ruixing remarked, feeling that Wen Yu's actions were somewhat unwise.
Wen Yu shook his head.
“It's very appropriate! My approach is simple: the more effort I put in, the more I get in return. These are what you deserve.”
“Moreover, I have already done quite a bit for him, but this guy is difficult to nurture. His strength is secondary; what's more concerning is his character and mental resilience—it's too lacking!”
“Uh-huh.”
Sun Ruixing nodded, directly stuffing the magic crystal into his pocket.
A person who reacts to difficulties by fleeing will never have much potential for growth.
“Let’s go, split up. Find and eliminate everything, whether visible or hiding in the corners! These things, once re-infected by demonic energy, will become troublesome.”
“Understood.”
Sun Ruixing nodded in acknowledgment and turned to head towards the slums outside.
Wen Yu also entered the nearby residential buildings.
...
At this moment, construction work was vigorously underway in the camp.
By now, most of the people in the camp held great confidence in their base.
This is human nature; after gaining immense power, confidence tends to swell for no reason, leading one to forget the unknown dangers and lose respect for them!
After hearing Sun Aotian's message, Zhang Wenhu immediately organized manpower to start clearing out the zombies.
The main disagreement between Zhang Wenhu and Wen Yu was whether to stay and defend the camp.
Zhang Wenhu didn't mind tackling small tasks like cleaning up zombies; in fact, he was quite happy to do it.
When it comes to cleaning out zombies, having more people means more strength.
The zombies in Chaihe Town had already been greatly reduced in number after the fierce battle; combined with the constant cleaning efforts from the professionals in the camp, the remaining number was now very small.
Wen Yu kicked open the security door in front of him, and the Touch of Greed swept through the heads of the approaching zombies.
"Thirty-two."
Thirty-two—that was Wen Yu's haul over the past five days.
A pitiful number.
From this, one could see that as the Demon Realm Gate remained closed, the rate of advancement would only slow down!
Professionals had to face an awkward problem: there were too many wolves and too little prey!
At the same time, the helplessness of the zombies in the face of professionals greatly boosted the confidence of the lower-tier professionals.
This is not the apocalypse; this is a new era!
This was the mindset of most professionals before the Demon Realm Gate opened!
Wen Yu had once thought the same.
But regrettably, this is the apocalypse—the real apocalypse, an unparalleled and brutal apocalypse!
"Wen Yu, I can't find any."
Sun Ruixing's voice came through the intercom.
This was equipment produced by the Exchange Stone Pillar, the signal coverage was enough to blanket the entire Chaihe Town.
Unfortunately, it had been placed amongst the disorderly array of daily necessities! Wen Yu only discovered it out of boredom at night.
"It's too difficult, Brother Wen Yu, I've already searched seven residential buildings here and haven't found a single zombie."
“Forget it, let's stop looking!”
Wen Yu said directly into the intercom, announcing the end of this cleaning operation.
There may be residual zombies, but lacking a numerical advantage, they no longer posed a significant threat!
Even if they were re-infused with demonic energy, it would still be the case.
"By the way, Old Sun, you haven't gathered enough points, right?"
