After discussion, they decided to send Yun Meng and a few level-six zombies to the border between Anhui and Hangzhou to pick up those survivors who escaped from Earth Dragon Base .
Jian Shengtong and his troop had entered Hangzhou . At that moment, they were resting in a factory building .
Jian Shengtong and Xia Yushen were standing on the roof while the others were hiding in the building . Everybody looked messy and exhausted . Perspiration, blood, mixed with the dust, dried out all over their faces and bodies, making them look like beggars .
There was strength in numbers . Many of the thousands of warriors had died during the journey, but at least they managed to save the hundreds of women .
The pursuing force behind them suffered a heavy casualty as well . The weapons that were stored in Earth Dragon Base had been shipped to Hidden Cloud City Base long ago . Not long after Hidden Cloud City Base fell, the people from Sky Fire Base arrived and swept across the base again . Therefore, neither of the two forces had much ammo left in their hands .
To save ammo, they could only fight with their superpowers . Jian Shengtong and Xia Yushen were both at level-six, but the pursuing force only had one level-six member . Therefore, in terms of superpower, they were no match for Jian Shengtong's force .
Jian Shengtong's force was in short of weapons since the beginning . The was why they had been suppressed the whole time . However, defeating them was not possible .
"We're almost there . Tell out brothers to hang in there," Xia Yushen said to his assistant while reading the map in his hands .

"Yes, sir!" The assistant quickly went downstairs .
Jian Shengtong looked behind with a slight frown . "You say…" he said uncertainly, "Will the leader of the new base allow us in? After all, they're all from Hades Base…"
"Don't worry about that . She'll let us in for the sake of those ladies," Xia Yushen was less worried than he was .
That was the exact reason why he agreed to let Jian Shengtong save those women . The Hades Base survivors who now lived in the new base certainly hated all Earth Dragon Base people . However, the bigger the population was, the stronger a base could be . People would create, so a base would develop, and become strong enough to defend its people against the difficult circumstance and zombies .
A base leader should always give priority to the interest of the entire base .
They saved those women to show their loyalty . So, no matter how much the Hades Base survivors hated them, their hatred would ease a little for the sake of those women . As for that might happen in the future, that would be after they joined the base .
On hearing that, Jian Shengtong stopped frowning a little bit .
"How far are those b*stards from here?" Xia Yushen suddenly asked as a sharp gleam of light flashed across his eyes .
With a cold look, Jian Shengtong responded, "About five miles . They can't afford to consume much of their ammo now, or they won't be able to return to Sea City Base safely . "

At that time, a scout returned and soon came to the roof to find Jian Shengtong and Xia Yushen .
"Boss, they gave up!" The scout reported to them excitedly .
"Tell us," Jian Shengtong and Xia Yushen glanced at each other .
That man said, "For some reason, they're already moving East . I think they're heading straight to Sea City . "
"Have they left already?" Jian Shengtong asked .
The man nodded .
Xia Yushen fell into thoughts . He wondered why those people gave up on pursuing those women . They seemed to want them so much before .
What made them give up?

They didn't know that the enemies gave up on pursuing because they received a message, saying that Jian Shengtong's troop would go through a zombie-gathering area on their way to the new base . That place was like a zombie city . It was impossible for people to get through there directly, and the detour would be very long .
Both their weapons and food were running out . They couldn't afford to keep following behind Jian Shengtong and his people . So at last, they decided to give up and head to Sea City .
They believed that Jian Shengtong's force would suffer hugely when they arrived at that zombie-gathering area . By that time, they would watch them cry .
A short while later, the people who went out to scout for tracks ahead came back .
"Boss, the further we go, the fewer zombies we saw . We don't know why! But, that's good for us . "
Jian Shengtong and Xia Yushen both had their eyes shining . "Really? We've rested for a while . We should get going now . "
After all, not only the enemies were short of food, but also them .
A large group of people were crowding in the sealed factory building . The building was large enough to contain thousands of people . They had to sit tightly together though, and there was no room for anyone to lie down .
In a corner, which was the safest area, a group of women were sitting together . They weren't all weak and vulnerable . Some of them had great leadership ability, and some had just attained superpowers .
They were the group of female captives that Lin Qiao had released when she was in Earth Dragon Base, trying to kill Long Yubai .
"Ting, when will we get to the new base?" They leaned against each other . They looked tired, but not despairing . At least, they were still alive . They had a great chance to live a new life in the new base .
They had heard that the people in the new base were mostly from Hades Base, and the Deputy Chief was still the old one .
Yuan Tianxing's decency and reliability were like a light shining upon those women's hearts .
So, some young girls asked about when they would get there eagerly .
"Soon! Just hang in there . We've survived all that has happened . One or two more days on the journey is nothing, right?" Ting was standing at the edge of the group of women . She was about thirty, well-featured, and eagle-eyed . Her face was well-shaped, hair tied up behind her head, and eyes glowing brightly . She was relatively tall, about five feet and eight inches .
The people who didn't know her well would always be frightened by her sharp eyes and feel reluctant to approach her . However, the people who were familiar with her found that she was a source of the sense of security .
Her words disburdened the others .
"Great! We'll have food in the new base, and we'll sleep without worry," someone said . That was the only thought that all those women had .
