Chapter 608 - 607: Arriving in a small base filled with robbers 3

They still needed to know if all the people in the small base were involved in such robberies, or only the group of people that were currently guarding the gates and had guided them, as Treyton and the others had already decided what to do for both situations.If it's just a few groups in the whole small base, then they could just teach those few groups a lesson and would let the other people in the small base deal with them.

Other forces in the small base would surely take the chance to teach them more severely after knowing that they had suffered from them.

Of course, if the whole base was involved, then they had to teach the whole base a lesson and chase them away from the base that they had established.

The base was just near the highway where a lot of people could pass by, so Treyton and the others decided that they'll chase all of them out if the whole base was really involved, so that they wouldn't cause too much trouble for those people who will pass by in the area that they were in in the future.

Well, even if they were chased away from the small base that they were in, they'll still have a chance to survive because the area that they were in is farther away from towns, so there aren't a lot of zombies.

That's also why the small base was able to establish itself just near the main highway where a lot of people pass by. They also hadn't encountered a lot of mutant animals on the way, so the area that they were in is relatively more peaceful than other places.

Since Yang, Nathan, and Zam had already gone out to gather information for them, all those who remained started doing their own things while still being on guard about their surroundings.

The kids didn't continue talking about the small base any longer and started working on their activities after Camille reminded them that they still had to submit their papers before they could start playing or do other things that they wanted.

As for him, he was about to continue playing when he saw Treyton start looking at the map again. He saw Treyton marking the place where they were and then looking at the next place where they had to stop by.

"After our next stop, we would be near the sea, right?" Luciel asked.

According to the route that they were taking, they'll have to cross a bridge, and the bridge was also at the meeting point of a large river and the sea.

"Yes, after our next stop, we would have to cross the bridge to continue going south. I just don't know if that bridge is still okay after everything that happened," Treyton replied.

"That bridge was a sturdy one, so it's probably still alright."

According to the memory that he had received, the bridge that they were about to cross was one of the oldest and longest bridges in their country, as it's also a shortcut from north to south.

The bridge had managed to continue existing in the country for a lot of years, so it certainly wouldn't be destroyed immediately. Of course, if there had been continuous challenges after the apocalypse, like strong tsunamis and other things, then the bridge probably has problems even if it hadn't completely collapsed.

They currently didn't have any information about the state of the bridge, that's why Treyton was obviously worried about it.

"Yeah, I hope so, because if not, then traveling to the south will become more difficult, as we couldn't just go through several cities easily," Treyton said with a sigh.

According to the map that they had, if they didn't go across the bridge, then they'll have to pass by interconnected urban settlements, as the area had 7 cities which had a population of about 50 million before the apocalypse began.

If they don't use the bridge, then even with the shortest route that they could use, they'll still have to cross 4 cities, which would be more difficult for them as there would certainly be a lot of zombies in those places.

So, even though they didn't know the state of the bridge that they had to cross, Treyton and the others still decisively chose the route where they had to use it instead of passing through those cities.

The country he was in was really prosperous before, as it had a lot of such prosperous cities, which was good then; but now, those cities—especially those interconnected ones—were the ones that could cause a lot of trouble.

"Yeah, be more positive. Anyway, even if you worry about it now, it's useless, as you haven't even seen the bridge yet," Luciel said, and then he didn't bother Treyton any longer and started playing on his phone again.

After 30 minutes of playing, Nathan and the others finally came back after wandering out and directly went inside their RV.

"How is it? Did you guys manage to learn what we wanted?" Treyton asked, while Luciel also paused his game, as he was also interested in knowing the result.

"Of course we did. With me present, how could we fail to get such simple information out of those people?" Nathan said with a confident smile.

Nathan was certainly skilled in such an area, but he actually didn't even need to go out, as Yang and Zam could also certainly do it—just not as fast as Nathan. However, Nathan still went down with them obviously because he was interested in it and wanted to know the situation faster.

Luciel and Treyton didn't bother with Nathan, who was obviously waiting for some praise, and just looked at Yang instead.

"It's the worst-case scenario. This base is entirely filled with robbers," Yang immediately said.

"When we went around to talk, I saw that all the people that we passed by were looking at us in the same way. Even though some were restraining their greed, it would still show," Nathan said, as he immediately took over from Yang to explain, obviously wanting to say more about what he saw and observed.
