Doomsday magician

Chapter 210
The guy who was sent to find Xu Bai was called Liping.

He is a captain of the Pudi in Yangjiawan, Changshan Lake, and he is responsible for the security of the camp on weekdays.On weekdays, this job is fairly easy.Unless there is an occasional large-scale zombie invasion, he will be busy.However, just today, he suddenly received a report from his subordinates, saying that a foreign force suddenly came near Changshan Lake!

There can be almost a thousand people.

Liping was still a little concerned about this number.After all, their Yangjiawan camp only has more than 1000 people.If it is normal, such a group of people will come when they come.But recently, the vicinity of Changshan Lake is not peaceful.Although the strength of their Yangjiawan camp is not weak, it is not to the point where they dominate.Therefore, he was quite concerned about this group of foreign forces who suddenly arrived in the lake area.After discussing with several high-level officials in the camp, he decided to come and find out in person.

"Armored car?"

Liping was taken aback when he first saw it from afar.He clearly saw that there were several real armored vehicles parked among the vehicles outside the camps, and there should be more in the distance.There are modified machine gun positions above some of the other vehicles. This powerful firepower made him startled.

It would be fine if it was just like this, but after he was welcomed into the convoy by the guards, the surprise became more and more violent.

This convoy, which came from nowhere, was very strong, and the people in charge of patrolling were all heavily armed.

In addition, the mental state of the people who come and goes is very low, and the despair and numbness that are common in other camps are hardly seen.This kind of vitality gave him a refreshing feeling!

It seems that this group of people is a bit outrageous!

If there was a sense of superiority in my heart when I came here before, this feeling has disappeared without a trace now.He has already begun to think about what tone and wording he should use to talk to the other party later.

Thinking all the way, he was brought in front of Xu Bai and Boss Liu by two guards.

Xu Bai pointed to the bench opposite, signaling him not to be polite to him.

"Are you the boss of this team?" The visitor thanked him very politely, then sat down against the front of the chair, and said, "Just call me Liping, I'm from the Yangjiawan Camp in Changshan Lake. "

Xu Bai nodded, not only admitting but also expressing that he already understood: "Then, what can you do with me?"

The person named Liping smiled and said: "I can't say anything, but I learned that such a large group of forces suddenly came near Changshan Lake, so I came here to ask. I don't know where your team is from? What is the purpose of coming here?"

There is nothing to hide about this question, Xu Bai said straightforwardly: "We are from Jin'an Province, but we just heard that the islands on the lake here are quite safe, so we want to come here to avoid zombies."

"Didn't someone invite you here?" Liping asked tentatively.

"Huh?" Xu Bai exchanged glances with Lin Peng and Boss Liu, and asked, "So what if it is? So what if it's not?"

Liping was taken aback, and said: "No, then we welcome everyone to come to our camp. If you want to stay here, we will try our best to help arrange it. If you are entrusted to help, as long as you are not from Anshun Island , that's okay."

Xu Bai heard something from his words, he shook his head, and said, "We came here by ourselves, the unfamiliar place has nothing to do with the people here."

"That's good!" Liping's face became a little more joyful, and he said, "Since it's like..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by someone from the garrison: "Captain, there are people looking outside again!"

Xu Bai was taken aback for a moment, wondering why so many people wanted to see him in the short time since he came here.However, since Liping has already met, he doesn't mind receiving other people.However, Liping next to him had a cloudy expression on his face, probably because he had some guesses about the identity of the visitor.

Two minutes later, a person in the same grade as Liping walked in.

"Brother Gao, what a coincidence." Liping looked at the man in front of him and said calmly.

The man obviously didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here, he was also surprised, and then he saw Liping.His brows frowned for a moment, then relaxed again, and said: "Your movements are not slow, you actually arrived earlier than me!"

"To each other, in short, don't let the people from Anshun Island leave first."

Having said that, the two looked at each other and smiled.

The relationship between the two of them doesn't look very good, but it doesn't look like they are completely hostile.From their words, Xu Bai vaguely sensed that the relationship within Changshan Lake seemed somewhat complicated.Remembering what the driver said earlier that Changshan Lake was not peaceful, he felt that he had to wait and see first, and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai!
"Captain, don't you know why you are here?"

This man surnamed Gao, asked almost exactly the same questions as Liping.After confirming that Xu Bai and the others were not the reinforcements of the Anshun Island forces, he was relieved.

After solving the most worrying problem, the two began to fight each other again, and even tear each other down.

From their words, Xu Baigui revealed a lot of useful news.The strength of the Changshan Lake area is quite complicated, and there are many large and small camps.Among them, there are three largest forces, Anshun Island, the first, and Yangjiawan and Gaofengzhai next.For some reason, both Yangjiawan and Gaofengzhai seem to be full of hostility towards the Anshun Island camp, and from time to time they say they want to pull them off their horses!
After dismantling each other for a while, the two realized what was wrong, and quickly apologized to Xu Bai.

"Captain Xu really laughed at me just now... Anyway, it's a guest from afar. Since the captain decided to stay here for a few days, our Yangjiawan camp is also considered the landlord. Captain Xu can come with any embarrassment. We said, if we can help, we will help!"

The promise made by the man surnamed Gao is also big and small, and it is nothing more than comforting with the meaning of wooing.There are two main intentions. The first is to give priority to oneself when wanting to join a certain force, and the second is to not cooperate with the people of Anshun Island no matter what, otherwise they will be their common enemy!
There are both threats and promised benefits, and these two people have taken great pains.

If it was Xu Bai who was before the end of the world, maybe he would have agreed directly.But in the past six months, he has grown rapidly.Xu Bai just sat there with a smile and listened to the two scrambling for quotations, and then gave an ambiguous answer.Before the two could ask any further questions, he temporarily beat them away on the grounds that he still needed to think about it.

"What do you think, brother Xu?"

Boss Liu had already figured it out in his heart, and there was a trace of confidence in his eyes, and the old man leaned back on the chair.

Xu Bai thought for a while and said with a smile: "Without us, they would be fighting in chaos. Anshun Island should be slightly stronger, but it can't stop the alliance of these two families. However, if nearly a thousand of us join, hum!"

He could tell that his group must have caught up with a critical moment in the struggle between the three families.Moreover, since one's own strength is not weak, no matter which side one falls to, it can have the effect of deciding the outcome.So, after learning about Xu Bai's foreign team, the two groups sent people over one after another, just to persuade Xu Bai to make a decision early!

However, if he didn't know, maybe he could be stupid.Now that the cause and effect are all guessed clearly, Xu Bai naturally knows what to do.Now he just needs to wait for the people from Anshun Island to come to his door, and see who among the three offers the highest price!At that time, he doesn't even need to do anything, he can get a lot of benefits just by expressing his attitude.As for the future, when he gets what he wants, it will be extremely difficult to make him spit it out!
Dozens of third-tier zombies can't do it, how can they succeed with these two camps with a total of only 3000 people?

The people in the Anshun Island camp didn't make him wait too long, and the people in the other two camps had not left for half an hour before they got the news.Afterwards, the people sent by Anshun Island came to him with the same purpose and similar rhetoric.

"You two, please feel free."

Facing the two men in front of him, one old and one young, Xu Bairao looked at them with interest, wanting to hear the chips they offered.Although he is not keen on the civil war among the survivors, if the three local forces want to fight, he, an outsider, cannot stop it.Instead of just waiting and watching, it's better to take the opportunity to reap some benefits for yourself!

However, what surprised Xu Bai was that the young man in his early 20s had obvious surprise on his face when he saw him.He looked at Xu Bai carefully for a while, then lowered his voice and whispered something to the man who was nearly 50 years old.

"Really?" The older man was a little surprised.

"Of course, I'm sure I'm not mistaken!" The young man said seriously.

The older man nodded, he pondered for a while, then raised his head and said to Xu Bai: "I heard that before the two of us, people from Gaofengzhai camp and Yangjiawan camp have been here?"

"Yes."

The man smiled gracefully, and said: "They should come to find out what you are here for, right? Or try to persuade you not to form an alliance with us? What I want to say is that we can do what they can offer. If If you don’t know how to choose, then just sit on the sidelines.”

Xu Bai looked at the elderly man in the long gray trench coat, and suddenly asked: "I'm curious about one thing. The three camps of yours each occupy a place, and they should not interfere with each other. Why did it become such a mess?" What about the incompatible situation. Could it be that you are relying on your own strength to do something that robs others of their interests?"

"Conflicts must be related to interests." The man's eyes flashed some disdain, and said: "It's just that we didn't rob them, but those two families took aim at our Anshun Island!"

Boss Liu on the side heard it, and asked a little strangely: "Is there anything special about Anshun Island?"
