Qian Zongguan took along the sixth cla.s.s cultivator Ma Dong and took a normal car and drove in front of Lin Feng. He also had three fifth cla.s.s cultivators in one of the all terrain vehicles traveling next to him. 

Behind Lin Feng was Ma Nan in another vehicle and another three fifth cla.s.s cultivators in an all terrain vehicle next to him. 

The other cars in the convoy looked like they were just spread out behind Lin Feng, but in reality they were forming a protective ring around Lin Feng. 

They didn"t need to be so anxious, but the disciples were seeing the sect master for the first time, so they were inevitably excited. They had been taught extremely well that their first priority was to protect the sect master, and seeing him with their own eyes, they couldn"t help but be gung ho about it. 

Possible because the clean up crew from Nanshan base had cleared them all, Lin Feng didn"t see any high cla.s.s zombies on their way to the entrance of the base, even if there were a few regular zombies. The people in the convoy directly shot the zombies with their guns, without using the mounted weapons on the trucks. 

However on the later half of the trip to the exit, the convoy could tell that the clean up crew hadn"t come here yet, as there were many zombies on the road. Many of the zombies crowded the streets, many of which were second cla.s.s. 

It was here that the mounted machine guns played their role. A Qing sect disciple came to the guns and shot them all simultaneously, the guns spitting metal and fire all at once. 

The crowd of zombies fell like flies, even the first cla.s.s zombies fell, unable to resist the might of the machine guns. 

After firing, several hundred meters down the road, only a few injured second cla.s.s zombies remained and the occasional third cla.s.s zombie could be identified. 

The zombies acted like they knew exactly where the bullets came from and headed straight towards the convoy. 

No one in the four car surrounding Lin Feng got out, but some of the people in the second layer of cars got out of their vehicles. Lin Feng watched as six fourth cla.s.s cultivators left their vehicles and rushed towards the zombies. 

Three headed straight towards the third cla.s.s zombie and the rest dealt with the remaining zombies. 

Although it would be difficult for a fourth cla.s.s cultivator to deal with a third cla.s.s zombie alone, with three fourth cla.s.s cultivators could easily deal with a third cla.s.s zombie*. When Lin Feng first entered the apocalypse and saw the corpse tide at Zhanlang base, he saw something similar. That time he watched four fourth cla.s.s cultivators take care of a third cla.s.s zombie without any losses. 

(*Author says they could handle a fourth cla.s.s zombie, but the last chapters just talked about the impossibility of that scenario, so I wrote it as third cla.s.s zombie)

Compared to the cultivators of Zhanlang base, the Qing sect disciples were much better, and the three fourth cla.s.s cultivators killed the third cla.s.s zombie in only a minute. The other three took care of all the other zombies in the same amount of time. On their way back to the car they didn"t forget to harvest all the crystals from the zombie"s heads. 

After coming back, the six fourth cla.s.s cultivators headed to Lin Feng"s car and extended their hands. Lin Feng counted the crystals in their hands and saw that they had harvested ten of them. One of them also held out a dark yellow crystal from the third cla.s.s zombie, wanting Lin Feng to take it. 

"It should stay with you guys since you killed them."

Opening his window slightly, Lin Feng addressed the cultivators. 

The reason why Lin Feng didn"t take the crystals was because he didn"t lack crystals and because these people killed the zombies. Lin Feng didn"t have any reason to take the crystals, even if he was the sect leader of the Qing sect. 

"The sect master has given these things to you, why haven"t you thanked him yet."

Qian Zongguan also lowered his window and spoke to these cultivators. 

Seeing how Lin Feng dealt with the issue, Qian Zongguan nodded to himself. To him, Lin Feng was trying to win over the disciples with his actions, as according to the sect rules, the spoils of war went to the most important person. But doing it like this would leave a good impression in the hearts of the Qing sect disciples. 

"Many thanks to the sect master!"

The cultivators heard Qian Zongguan"s words and thanked Lin Feng as one, showing expressions of grat.i.tude on their faces. 

But it wasn"t like how Qian Zongguan had thought, Lin Feng wasn"t plotting so deeply. It was all according to Lin Feng"s feelings, that if you owned something, you wouldn"t want someone else to take it away. If it was something that they had attained with their own power, Lin Feng didn"t want to take advantage of them. So even though Qian Zongguan was left overthinking the matter, Lin Feng wasn"t really trying to win over the disciples. 

Killing all the zombies on the road, the convoy moved on. This time an all terrain vehicle moved to the front of the convoy, and using its plow it cleared the road for all the cars following it. 

The convoy moved quickly, and soon reached the entrance to the base. But they didn"t expect the entrance to be filled to the brim with people. The crowd was causing a ruckus, everyone trying to speak over one another. 

"Why are you blocking the exit and not letting us leave?"

"Yeah, there are zombies inside the base, its just as "safe" as the outside, I want to leave!"

"What"s the point of closing the gate and not letting us out?"

Lowering his window, Lin Feng drove his car closer and heard what some of the people were saying. 

The base had seemed to close the entrance doors, making this crowd of people form. 

After the rain of the apocalypse, many of the people in the base had turned into zombies. The base had sent guards to clean up this mess, but had also sealed its gate, not letting anyone go in or out, all for no reason. Looking at the closed gate, Lin Feng frowned. 

Doing this, Nanshan base really did seem to have a reason, since most of the cultivators were off killing zombies. Right now there weren"t any guards guarding the door, and if the doors were opened, anyone could come or leave. If there was another zombie tide or mutant zombie appearance, the losses would be even greater. 

So the higher ups in the base decided to clear all the zombies in the base first, and once they could station guards at the door again, they would allow for normal pa.s.sage. 

"This is the decision of the base, and those that don"t want to listen to this advice, don"t blame me for being impolite."

There was someone standing in front of the door who spoke loudly to the crowd. Listening to the person, the noisy crowd turned dead silent. Everyone in front of the gate stood deathly still, so still that a pin could be heard if it dropped to the ground. 

Seventh Cla.s.s Cultivator!

Seeing the person in front of the door, and feeling the fluctuations of energy, Lin Feng felt a shadow on his heart. No wonder the crowd stilled when they heard his words and dared not speak. The speaker was really a seventh cla.s.s cultivator.
