Bai Yaoyao found a quiet spot and contacted the Main Base again through her communicator.
The senior leader must have been waiting for news from Bai Yaoyao, because he responded instantly.
"Captain Bai, it's been a while. How is Elder Long doing? Last time I saw him... he was still very weak and could barely swallow his food. Has he recovered?"
Bai Yaoyao couldn't help glancing back at her master, who was sitting with his legs crossed, wolfing down meat...
"Ahem... recovering isn't something that happens overnight. But it's all right. Master said that what matters is that things turned out well, so the hardships along the way, um... don't need to be brought up again."
Bai Yaoyao had learned well from Long Zhan. She delivered that entire speech without blushing or missing a beat.
Naturally, the senior leader was deeply moved. "Our country has only held on this long because we have Elder Long and heroes like you, who never put personal gain or loss first..."
"Don't say that. Before the apocalypse, we were still on Huaguo's First Wanted List. We could barely even enter the country," Bai Yaoyao said, raising an eyebrow.
"Uh... those were all misunderstandings. Elder Long made a very good point. Let's leave the past in the past..."
The leader stopped reminiscing and got straight to business. "What's the situation at City O Base now? Did you break in? Have the zombies retreated?"
Bai Yaoyao answered honestly, "They haven't retreated."
"Then you..."
"They couldn't retreat. They're all dead." After saying that, Bai Yaoyao suddenly drew a deep breath.
That saying really did fit: she had swung her blade until her arm went numb.
Forget over two hundred thousand zombies-even cutting up over two hundred thousand watermelons would have been exhausting. There were just too many.
