Their attitude displeased many people.
They were late, yet they acted as if they were superior.
It was truly unlikable.
Peng Shaowei also frowned subtly, though he didn't say much, instead pointing to a few empty seats.
"Since you're here, take your seats first. Let's get down to business."
As soon as he finished speaking, a boy around seven or eight years old walked to the third seat in the second row.
"Keep staring, and I'll gouge your eyes out!"
He said without hesitation to a middle-aged man in his forties.
The man immediately stood up, his face full of anger.
Anyone would be furious to be publicly scolded by a child out of the blue.
Peng Shaowei rubbed his temples and, just as a fight was about to break out, intervened in time.
"Everyone, I gathered you here to discuss matters, not to fight."
His tone grew more serious.
With his intervention, the middle-aged man huffed and sat back down.
The boy also sneered nonchalantly and returned to the side of the young man.
After everyone was seated, Peng Shaowei began to speak.
"That kid was pretty cocky, huh?"
During Peng Shaowei's speech, Nie Yizhou lightly nudged Yun Xiaoxiao's arm and whispered softly.
Yun Xiaoxiao also casually glanced at the boy.
He certainly had the capital to be arrogant.
At just seven or eight years old, he was already a dual-element ability user with water and fire elements.
Moreover, his ability level was at the middle stage of the third tier.
The middle-aged man earlier was only at the initial stage of the second tier.
When it came to a fight, the outcome was clear.
Although the cores of zombies contain potent energy, different people absorb it differently.
This has nothing to do with age, only with talent in cultivation.
After sizing him up, Yun Xiaoxiao was about to look away.
But just as she was about to, the boy also looked over at her.
He even gave her the middle finger.
"What the hell? Is this guy crazy or something?"
He really was indiscriminately provoking everyone.
How has he survived this long?
If it weren't for the inappropriate setting, Yun Xiaoxiao would have definitely taught him a lesson in how to behave.
She rolled her eyes and stopped looking at him, focusing instead on listening to Peng Shaowei.
Peng Shaowei's main point was that, with the apocalypse upon us and dangers everywhere, only by uniting could humanity survive the cracks.
According to his observations, zombies continuously grow stronger.
So the best solution is to eliminate them before they evolve into the most powerful forms.
Only then can we eliminate the threat for good.
But this task alone is beyond their single base.
That's why he gathered all the bases from the western region, hoping everyone could brainstorm and come up with the best solution.
Of course, he didn't force anyone.
Those who wanted to participate could, and those who didn't could leave freely.
After all, although he had notified everyone, many small bases hadn't come.
Perhaps due to insufficient strength to handle the dangers along the way.
Or maybe their bases lacked radios and didn't receive the message.
So this initiative was based on a voluntary principle.
After all, once implemented, there would undoubtedly be casualties.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started whispering among themselves.
"Mr. Base Leader Peng, I understand your intentions, but this task seems extremely difficult to carry out. Everyone's strength varies, and even if we wanted to support it, we might be powerless."
A man spoke up first.
Following his lead, others also voiced their concerns.
"Yes, the weather changes every day, and it looks like winter is approaching. Didn't someone predict that the world would enter a long period of global freezing soon?
As the saying goes, 'Supplies must precede the army.'
We don't even have basic supplies reserved, how can we find the energy to kill all those zombies?"
"This brother is right. The number of zombies far exceeds that of living humans. How could we possibly kill them all with just our strength?
The ideal is full, but reality is harsh.
It's too difficult to implement."
The words of a few represented the thoughts of most.
Of course, there were also those with different opinions.
"I think Base Leader Peng's suggestion is reasonable. The evolution speed of zombies is too fast.
If we don't kill them now, by the time they become even stronger, there will be no place for humans to survive."
Jiang Huai said with a furrowed brow.
Wang Dahai nodded. "Jiang Huai is right. I think as long as we have supplies as logistical support, we must eradicate the zombies. Who wants to live surrounded by those man-eating creatures, unable to sleep soundly?"
"Who doesn't want to kill all the zombies? But firstly, it's uncertain whether everyone's strength can even kill those mutated zombies. Secondly, we can't possibly go hungry while killing zombies, can we?"
Someone also raised their doubts.
This gained the agreement of many.
After everyone had voiced their thoughts, Peng Shaowei turned his gaze to Yun Xiaoxiao and her group.
"Friends from Yun City, don't you have anything to say?"
His steady gaze carried a hint of shrewdness and wisdom.
Suddenly being called out, Yun Xiaoxiao and her group snapped out of their relaxed state and sat up straighter.
Yun Xiaoxiao smiled at Peng Shaowei.
It seemed this man had been watching them all along.
Interesting...
However, her purpose here was the same.
So, she didn't mind Peng Shaowei's little scheme.
She stood up and looked around at everyone present.
"Base Leader Peng is right. If the zombies aren't eradicated, humans will never have a peaceful life."
She spoke with a deeper tone.
As she thought of her past life, countless bases were swallowed by zombie armies led by intelligent zombies.
Combined with mutated plants and animals, human survival became increasingly difficult.
So, Peng Shaowei's approach was correct.
Eliminate the zombies before they grow stronger.
The fewer enemies humanity has, the greater the chance of survival.
As for everyone's concerns about whether our current strength can kill large numbers of zombies and the matter of supplies, Yun City can provide some assistance.
Earlier, we mentioned over the radio that we have a liquid that can enhance an ability user's strength, called Evolution Fluid.
Once everyone takes it, they can rapidly improve their ability levels.
As for supplies, we can also sell them.
Yun Xiaoxiao said with a smile.
"Kid, big talk can cost you your jaw."
Someone immediately voiced their skepticism.
