Chapter 501: From now on, the Qu Family is finished.

Captain Zhao’s envoy sent to apologize to Hua Mi certainly returned without accomplishing anything.

Hua Mi wasn’t even interested in meeting these people.

She had more important things to occupy her with now; after holding a brief meeting with Gong Yi and Lin Zhigang, she hurriedly left to patrol the nearby streets and alleys.

It was on that same evening that Captain Zhao gathered his entire team to announce his intention to return to Oasis first.

Everyone was speechless, silently supporting Captain Zhao’s decision.

“I object!”

Su Ruyan stood up. She walked over to Captain Zhao and said,

“We’ve been following that couple for so long, and to just leave now, I disagree.”

“And besides, a formidable group has arrived in this area. Aren’t we going to make contact with them?”

“They have at least a hundred people. Look at their team; every one of them is sturdy and robust. If we can bring this team over to our Oasis, it will grow significantly larger.”

The so-called Oasis was merely a fixed area that some survivors’ teams had constructed beneath the walls of the Xiang City Base with cars and tents for cover.

Because it was attached to the Xiang City Base, it was much safer than other places in the apocalypse.

And now, the largest Oasis under the wall of the Xiang City Base was the small one established by Captain Zhao.

Their numbers were also around a hundred, which indicated that other small Oasis had even fewer.

Su Ruyan’s points made sense,

“When I came over, I also observed carefully. The woman who was beaten by Hu Yanxiang is actually the Qu Family’s young miss, Qu Yimin.”

“We can try to make contact and tell the Qu Family people about our advantages. They will obviously weigh the situation and joining us won’t be a problem.”

Her words triggered another round of discussion within Captain Zhao’s team.

No one had imagined that the woman they had contemned and looked down upon was actually the young miss of the Qu Family?

That went without saying, the team was definitely from the Qu Family of E City Base.

As Captain Zhao seemed hesitant, suddenly a cough erupted from one of the teammates in the ruins.

Captain Zhao looked around; under the dim light filtering through the ruins, he saw his teammates’ faces pale as ghosts, all bruised and swollen.

These were the marks left by Hua Mi.

Captain Zhao’s expression became stern as he said to Su Ruyan very firmly,

“We need to be self-aware, that ugly woman is not as easy to deal with as we thought. We need to leave here first.”

Su Ruyan stamped her foot,

“How can I not make it clear to you? Haven’t I told you? We’ve followed that couple for so long, to leave now is to waste all our previous efforts.”

Captain Zhao looked helplessly at Su Ruyan,

“Don’t assume what you like, you also need to consider the safety and well-being of our entire team.”

“Do you know why we ended up like this? It’s all thanks to that ugly woman. She’s not as simple as you imagine.”

“We’re going back first, you must listen to the arrangements…”

But before Captain Zhao could finish speaking, Su Ruyan let out a cold laugh,

“How complicated could it be? So what if she’s a bit more agile? After mixing in the apocalypse for so long, even a pig would become agile.”

Her teammates tried to persuade her, but Su Ruyan turned her head away, acting very petulant,

“I’m not leaving; if you want to go, then go.”

She was certain that as long as she didn’t leave, the whole team wouldn’t be able to move.

After all, the supplies they had gathered from within the depths of the Zombie Tide, all of it was on her.

Watching Su Ruyan being so stubborn, the entire team fell silent and looked to Captain Zhao.

Captain Zhao frowned, watching Su Ruyan’s obstinate departure.

For the first time, he realized Su Ruyan could also be inconvenient.

They had placed all their supplies with Su Ruyan, which meant they were tied to Su Ruyan.

Even when opinions differed, they had no choice but to follow Su Ruyan.

After all, nobody knew where she had stored their supplies.

They couldn’t possibly leave Su Ruyan here after they had worked so hard for so long.

Not only could they not abandon Su Ruyan, but they also had to coax her soothingly, hoping she would obediently bring the supplies back to the Oasis.

Captain Zhao fell into silence; he really didn’t want to handle Su Ruyan harshly, after all, their past cooperation had been pleasant.
