The apocalyptic livestream attracted a lot of haters, alarming the government.

[SilverMoon315: Not bad, your reaction was quick just now.]

[Three Foxes: 6, almost messed up]

[White Fox Knight: Not bad, I didn't expect the streamer to be so skilled.]

[Erdan Gouzi: That shot was accurate enough, the national team needs you]

[Milk Egg Isn't Bland: My Brother Xiao is awesome!]

……

"What's your name?"

Ye Xiao, who was immersed in the joy of the reward and the praise of his fans, was suddenly interrupted by this question and immediately pulled back to his senses.

He turned to look at the person beside him; the one who asked the question was the long-haired man.

Completely different from when we met a few days ago, the disdainful contempt had vanished without a trace, and there was even a hint of gratitude and closeness in his tone.

Not only the long-haired man, but even the guards around him were now focusing their attention on him.

Ye Xiao wasn't surprised, after all, if it weren't for him, they would be the ones turned into rotten flesh now.

Ye Xiao grinned. "My name is Ye Xiao."

The long-haired man looked Ye Xiao up and down. Regardless of what bad things he had done in the past, he still had a basic sense of justice to get to where he was now. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become the captain of the guard team with the respect of the people.

The long-haired man extended his hand to Ye Xiao and introduced himself.

"Chen Zhenhong, they all call me Brother Hong."

Seeing the outstretched hand, Ye Xiao knew that the other party was expressing friendliness, and he naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to get closer to them.

"Brother Hong!"

Chen Zhenhong's smile deepened, and he raised an eyebrow at the shards of flesh in the distance. "You reacted quickly, that kick was pretty accurate!"

Ye Xiao smiled and said, "I used to be an athlete."

"No wonder! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know how much we would have lost!"

As he spoke, he reached out and patted Ye Xiao on the shoulder, "Thanks, brother."

Chen Zhenhong looked at the mess in the distance, his mind already racing, a secret joy hidden in his eyes.

Chen Zhenhong turned to look at Ye Xiao, frowning, and asked, "What exactly happened?"

Ye Xiao did not hide anything and recounted what had happened, but he distanced himself from the situation, stating that he was just an unlucky guy who was caught up in it.

"Judging from Tang Lian's shouts, he must have planned this all along. I suspect that the freak that escaped from her stomach and entered Boss Tang's body was the one that got out of the womb."

Ye Xiao spoke half-truthfully, and Chen Zhenhong didn't doubt him much. After all, it didn't matter anymore; Boss Tang was dead, and someone had to take over the position of base chief.

However, thinking of Tang Lian, he couldn't help but gasp.

"That woman is really ruthless to herself. But, Mr. Tang has no one to blame but himself for getting to where he is today."

Several guards nearby asked, "Brother Hong, what do we do now?"

Chen Zhenhong frowned, deep in thought. Ye Xiao, not minding adding fuel to the fire, said:

"Brother Hong, now that Boss Tang is dead, our base can't be without a leader, otherwise order will definitely fall apart."

"Such a big thing has happened here, it will probably get to the higher-ups very soon."

Chen Zhenhong's brows twitched slightly, knowing that Ye Xiao was reminding him to secure his position as soon as possible, otherwise the captains in charge of other guard teams outside would definitely come to vie for power.

Ye Xiao seized the opportunity to look at the crowd around him and said:

"Moreover, Brother Hong killed the mutated Boss Tang and eliminated such a big threat, so of course he has to step up and take charge!"

Chen Zhenhong is the captain of the guard team in the quarantine zone. He is the leader here besides Boss Tang, but this may not be the case for the captains of the other guard teams outside.

Ye Xiao saved him twice, and that favor alone is enough to make the other party take good care of Ye Xiao. But don't even think about using the favor to get something in return.

Now, Ye Xiao doesn't mind giving the credit to Chen Zhenhong. Putting aside the fact that it's just an empty title, useful to Chen Zhenhong but useless to him, it will only bring trouble.

After all, as an asymptomatic newcomer to the base, he was bound to become the target of several guard captains for having killed a mutated base chief.

It would be better to do Chen Zhenhong this favor and help him consolidate his position, so that Chen can make all sorts of demands later, which would be convenient for me.

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, Chen Zhenhong raised an eyebrow, his gaze towards Ye Xiao filled with surprise and hidden joy, clearly very satisfied with Ye Xiao's quick thinking.

The guards around him had been by Chen Zhenhong's side for many years and knew his strength. They were also influenced by his authority over the years, so they all nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Tang has changed. If it weren't for the captain, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

"Yes, we're short of a leader right now, so of course it has to be our team leader!"

……

Compliments rang out around him, and Chen Zhenhong smiled, but he did not become complacent because of it.

He seemed to immediately get into character, cleared his throat, and began to give serious instructions to everyone.

"Let's clean and disinfect this area first, so that these things don't contaminate the base."

"We need to store that seed core first."

"Boss, that core is completely blood red, it's a bit different!"

Chen Zhenhong nodded, "Yes, you should take precautions and isolate the items first."

The guards around immediately sprang into action. Only about twenty guards remained inside.

This is far inferior to the external security forces.

It's almost impossible for Chen Zhenhong to control the base with such a small number of people. His only advantage right now is that the outsiders don't know about Boss Tang's death.

Once this news leaks out, Ye Xiao has no doubt that those guys will immediately bring people to seize power.

Chen Zhenhong seemed to have considered this as well, and now he stood to the side, arms crossed, deep in thought, looking worried.

[Black frame: All the mutants and asymptomatic individuals within the quarantine zone are a relatively strong support force.]

The official team, who observed the entire process from the live stream, provided tips and suggestions.

Ye Xiao had an idea in mind.

He looked at Chen Zhenhong with a worried expression and asked, "Brother Hong, are you worried about manpower?"

Chen Zhenhong crossed his arms and looked at Ye Xiao. He could tell that Ye Xiao was a quick-witted person, so he asked:

"Brother, do you have any good ideas?"

Ye Xiao chuckled, "That's easy. People outside don't know that Boss Tang is dead yet, and it's nighttime now. We have plenty of time to recruit the mutants and asymptomatic individuals in the quarantine zone."

“Because of the 1116 incident, they have a lot of grievances against Boss Tang, and the asymptomatic ones even more so. Brother Hong, you can take this opportunity to expose Boss Tang’s past misdeeds and then win them over.”

"Especially asymptomatic individuals. Asymptomatic individuals are the base's greatest asset. As long as asymptomatic individuals are willing to stand by your side, the situation is basically stable."

Chen Zhenhong raised an eyebrow and stroked his chin. "Asymptomatic individuals?"

Ye Xiao nodded, "Yes, asymptomatic individuals mean mutation inhibitors."

"The simplest way to gain support from asymptomatic individuals is to give them some freedom, allowing their range of activities to expand from underground to above ground. It doesn't need to be too large; expanding to the inner area above is enough."

Ye Xiao thought to himself: Hehe, this way, I can go out openly and legitimately!
