The General's tone was still very calm, showing no hint of fear.
"Fine, we'll head back tomorrow morning. It's getting dark now; traveling back by night would be too dangerous... I hope you can hold out for the night!"
The distance to Zijin Base was a bit far; it had to be covered during daylight. Otherwise, encountering a large number of Night Demons at night would spell disaster.
"Okay."
The other party didn't urge them, and their tone remained calm. Lan Yulian knew it was just his style.
"By the way, what's the situation with the prison and the Alliance now?"
Lan Yulian asked again.
"Temporary cooperation."
"Right. Then..."
Lan Yulian asked for more specifics, and the General shared everything he could.
Wang Tao listened on the side and more or less understood the whole story.
Simply put, the prison and the Alliance had long been in cahoots, claiming they came to kill zombies, but they were only going through the motions and didn't actually fight.
