Doubts and conjectures!

  "Alright, let me talk first."

  Yeah, he didn't have any guard against Zhou Feng because of their first meeting. After hearing Zhou Feng's words, he directly took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and put it in his mouth, chewing while saying: "Firstly, about the Self-Rescue Association, we created it for two reasons. One is to rescue more survivors, and the other is to accumulate stronger power to deal with future crises on the so-called God-Demon Battlefield. So, we need to constantly expand into other areas, which can help us search for survivors and necessary supplies, as well as hunt down zombies to increase our strength."

  Here is the translation:

  "By now, Ya Gan had already swallowed the entire bar of Dove chocolate, and then he opened another one, unwrapping it and stuffing it into his mouth. 'At this point, I have a different opinion from that woman,' he said. 'She thinks we should focus on defending this area, strengthen our defenses, and gradually expand our safe zone, nibbling away at the zombies' territory. Then, send out small teams to search for survivors. But I think we shouldn't spend too much time on base-building. We should launch a full-scale attack, killing as many zombies as possible in the shortest amount of time, making our team and individual strength reach its maximum. After all, in this strange land, power is everything. Only with stronger power can we live longer and better.'"

  "You should know, the more people we send out, the greater the risk we take. The zombies' sense of smell and hearing are extremely sensitive. If only a small number of elite troops go out, they can still avoid large hordes of zombies. But once too many people go out, they will likely be surrounded by hordes of zombies. Do you know how many people will die then?"

  Upon hearing these words, a faint flush of anger appeared on Murong Yu's delicate and pretty face. She shook her head forcefully and shouted at Ya Gan in a voice that was almost a roar: "And don't forget, apart from us, there are two other forces eyeing us covetously. If we send out a large number of people and leave our camp empty, can you guarantee that the other two forces won't take advantage of it and attack us?"

  "Hey, hey, isn't it impolite to speak to your lifesaver like that?"

  Looking at Murong Yu's pretty face, which had turned slightly red with anger, he helplessly shrugged his shoulders and said: "Dear Miss Murong, don't forget where this is! This is a training ground specifically for cultivating soldiers of the gods and demons! What they want is slaughter, bloodshed, and constant strengthening, not like your cautious approach. In this place, strength is more important than strategy. And I don't think the god controlling this battlefield will really let you expand the safety zone as you wish!"

  Here is the translation:

  "Who knows, maybe tomorrow a monster we can't resist will appear and sweep through our base. Or perhaps something that can command hordes of undead, like an Undead King, will suddenly show up. If our base's defenses are breached, I'm afraid we won't even have the strength to escape... Haha, and then there'll be even more deaths!"

  "There can't be so many possibilities!"

  Murong Yu was visibly annoyed by the speculation, and she stroked her high chest, suppressing her anger as she said: "You're not blind to the fact that even if zombies evolve over the past few days, they'll only increase in strength and speed, but won't gain any so-called intelligence, let alone give rise to something like a zombie king. Moreover, our location is at the city center of Fangcheng Harbor City, so even if some massive monster appears in the Misty Forest, it's unlikely to pose a threat to us. It's unfair to put others' lives on the line for a highly improbable speculation!"

  "Fair? How long can you protect them for? Even if they manage to escape now, won't they still be dead on the battlefield of gods and demons? Giving people shelter makes them lose their will to get stronger, but it's not truly protecting them. This is the greatest unfairness!"

  Upon hearing Murong Yu's words, Ya shook his head and wiped the chocolate from the corner of his mouth. He then turned to Zhou Feng and asked, "See? This is our biggest disagreement. What do you think after hearing this?"

  "You're right!"

  He nodded slightly and shifted his gaze to Murong Yu, saying lightly: "And you are wrong!"

  "What makes you think I'm wrong?"

  Upon hearing Zhou Feng's words, Murong Yu became even more enraged. She took a deep breath and said in an icy tone: "I know that you two don't value human life very much. Perhaps from your perspective, I am indeed wrong. But from the perspective of all people, I am right. Moreover, I only avoided them being surrounded by hordes of corpses, and didn't organize survivors to go out and hunt zombies to strengthen themselves on a small scale. Even if they used my development method, they could still get strengthened!"

  "A dead duck with a hard mouth... I really don't know how you became the deputy director of MSS Ninth Bureau... Oh, forgot, your old man is the director."

  Looking at Murong Yu who was about to explode, Zhou Feng smiled lightly and said: "Alright, don't be angry. The reason I said you were wrong is that you've actually fallen into a thinking trap. No mistake, from the base's location, it's indeed unlikely that the Self-Rescue Association would encounter attacks from native creatures in the Misty Forest. And from the evolution trend of zombies, they're also unlikely to evolve into intelligent and commanding zombies."

  At this point, Zhou Feng's eyes suddenly condensed, and his voice was icy as he said: "But who told you that the undead in the Misty Forest are just zombies? Remember, this is a battlefield between humans and the undead, and zombies are just the lowest level of existence among the undead. They're nothing but cannon fodder, used to send people to their deaths!"

  "Are there other undead creatures? And these zombies are just cannon fodder?"

  Upon hearing Zhou Feng's words, Murong Yu's face suddenly turned deathly pale. And beside him, Ya Gan furrowed his brow, then a look of "I knew it" appeared on his face. It seemed that what Zhou Feng said was actually within the scope of his guesses.

  "Due to some coincidence, I obtained an ability that can detect the basic data of targets. Although this ability is still a bit awkward for now, it's already enough for me to identify the identities of these zombies and their hierarchical structure."

  He nodded, and Zhou Feng's face also showed a serious expression. "The zombies we usually see outside are actually called Xing Shi, the lowest level of undead, also known as zero-level ordinary creatures. And above these zero-level ordinary Xing Shi, I have encountered zero-level elite Xing Shi warriors, first-level ordinary Tie Shi, also known as iron-clawed zombies, and various other undead creatures such as mutated infected humans. Among them, the strongest existence I've ever met was a flying zombie in the Misty Forest. He was so powerful that I couldn't even move, so I wasn't able to detect his level. But one thing is certain, he must be an intelligent being!"

  "Undead's wise creature?"

  Zhou Feng's words made both Ya Gan and Murong Yu's faces turn somewhat heavy. The biggest reason why humans can hold on until now is that these undead creatures only act based on instinct, completely lacking in intelligence. Humans, on the other hand, can utilize the action characteristics of these undead creatures to develop extremely targeted action plans, such as covering themselves in corpse blood to conceal their human scent and confuse the zombies, or like Zhang Han's team's 2V1 combat mode. Under this targeted action plan, humans finally began to slowly reverse the situation, starting to carve out their own home on this land occupied by zombies.

  However, all of this is based on the assumption that zombies are unorganized and unintelligent. Once zombies become organized and begin to be controlled by intelligent undead creatures, their threat will increase exponentially. At that time, humans may face a disaster even more terrifying than the initial zombie outbreak.
