Chapter 214: Spark Base Three Axe

While the two were talking, Tang Xiao hurried over. Without waiting for Yin Shan to ask, she said sternly, "Big Sister, the official base in Saskatchewan has been attacked!"

Yin Shan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qin Lei. Qin Lei's expression was serious, and he immediately took out his communicator to contact his base.

After a moment, Qin Lei smiled bitterly and said, "Major General Yin, I'm requesting support! The Star-Spangled People have discovered our location and sent a large army of mutants to attack us. We estimate there are about 300,000 mutants, and they are attacking our base. I'm afraid we can't hold on."

Yin Shan thought for a moment and said, "Tang Xiao, you take 10,000 people and use the intelligence you've obtained to wipe out other small and medium-sized bases. Make sure no one who has received support from the Stars and Stripes will be left alive!

Zhao Jian, take the rest of the people with me to provide support. Also, contact your family immediately and have Hou Ting and her Leopard Corps rush to the official base in Saskatchewan!

The two of them left in response. Ten minutes later, Yin Shan led a team of 8,000 people and followed Qin Lei and others to the official base in Saskatchewan.

Soon, Zhao Jian delivered the information Yin Shan wanted to know. According to Li Bo's recollection, Qin Lei had once been affiliated with the Southern Military, but later retired due to injury and turned to politics. Li Bo did not know what happened after that.

Yin Shan didn't say anything. She didn't think there was anything wrong with Qin Lei, but the attack was too coincidental, which made her suspicious.

Meanwhile, Hou Ting, weeping, rushed to the coordinates with her Leopard Army. Just in case, Yin Zhiwen was already waiting in Yin Shan's space, while Ji Yang contacted Tang Xiao and prepared to rush over with the remaining Canglangs for support.

By the time everyone arrived at the official base in Saskatchewan, most of Qin Lei's psychics had been injured.

Ah Cang let out a wolf howl, and everyone at the Spark Base continued to release their own aura, trying to attract the mutants to turn around and attack them.

The mutant army hesitated for a moment. On one side were the few remaining mutant delicacies, although there were more of them, but on the other side were more than 8,000 lively mutants and a corresponding number of mutant beasts.

This kind of multiple-choice question was really easy to answer. After just half a minute of hesitation, the mutant army came towards Yin Shan, howling.

"Everyone, stand back. Zhao Jian, prepare the supernatural cannons. When they're 500 meters away, fire!" Yin Shan said calmly. There were at least 200,000 mutants left. A single bite from each could kill them all! The only option was to use supernatural cannons. Although supernatural cannons consumed a large amount of supernatural power, Yin Shan clearly didn't care about the 500 or so supernaturals who had temporarily lost their combat power.

Boom boom boom!

Without hesitation, the 10 psychic cannons took turns firing. To maximize the attack power, fire and lightning psychics were the only ones using the psychic cannons. A large number of the mutants in the front were killed instantly.

Yin Shan led many earth-type mutants to use ground spikes to slow down the mutants' movement.

When the superpower cannon stopped, the mutants continued to charge forward. The wind-type superpower users who had been prepared long ago gathered many wind blades to reap the harvest again.

The next wave to greet them was the ice cones from the water-based psychics.

Qin Lei and others had obviously never seen this kind of attack method before. When they attacked, the attack methods of the various types of psychics were varied, and there had never been a time when a single psychic attacked alone.

After three attacks, the number of mutants was reduced by more than half, but there were still about 100,000.

Just when Qin Lei thought that they would be attacked again, the Spark Base taught him a good lesson.

Led by Ah Cang, 8,000 wolves launched this wave of charges. All the wolves, their limbs emitting small wind blades, stopped about 50 meters away from the mutants, and the small wind blades continuously attacked the advancing mutants.

But the effect of the wolf's attack didn't seem as obvious as before.

Qin Lei was anxious. He didn't think Yin Shan would be the kind of leader who would let the mutant beast die alone.

Zhao Jian said: "Just watch, my boss is here too!"

But Qin Lei saw nothing. He only saw huge blood-red vines and... countless black vines spreading among the wolves!

By the time the two types of vines disappeared, there were no mutants standing on the ground.

Zhao Jian looked dazed and muttered, "Why is it black..."

Qin Lei didn't hear clearly, and subconsciously asked: "What black?"

Zhao Jian explained, "Boss and Aunt Guan's vines are both green...but what's going on with the black vines?"

"Captain Qin, won't you take us to visit your base?" Yin Shan, who had already returned, said with a smile.

Qin Lei reacted immediately and took Yin Shan and others into the base.

Looking at the welcoming person, he introduced: "This is Yin Shan, the base commander of the Spark Base. Major General Yin, and this is my deputy, Fu Ning."

Fu Ning's face was filled with gratitude: "Major General Yin, I've long heard of your great name! I'll never forget your life-saving grace!"

Yin Shan said politely, "No need to thank me, it was just a coincidence. I happened to be talking to your base commander.

Zhao Jian, go see if Base Captain Fu needs any help and take your brothers to help.

Base Commander Qin, I wonder if it would be convenient for us to bring these mutant beasts into the base?"

Qin Lei said: "Of course, of course! As long as it doesn't hurt anyone!"

Yin Shan nodded, and Fu Ning didn't say anything more. The official base in Saskatchewan was almost wiped out, and he had too much to do. It would be great to have help from Zhao Jian and others.

As for whether the Spark Base would take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble, Fu Ning was very open-minded. If they wanted to cause trouble, he would just not support them.

Now the entire base owes Spark Base a big favor, so why not just let Lao Qin repay them with his body? After all, there's nothing much to show for gratitude.

Qin Lei didn't know that his deputy was going to sell him out, so he just asked the question he wanted to ask: "Major General Yin, if you weren't in the battle just now, you would still attack as before, right?

Also, I don't understand why the attack has to be divided into batches?"

Yin Shan explained: "If I weren't there, the mutant beasts would have charged once, and then launched another round of attacks.

Attacking in batches is to maximize the effectiveness of the attack. For example, earth-based abilities will restrain lightning-based abilities. If the two abilities are used together to attack, the original 100% attack effectiveness will be reduced to 80% or even lower.

Likewise, if the wind and fire elements attack together, the offensive effect will be greatly increased.

When you attack again, you can't just look at the strength of a single psychic, you have to cooperate with each other.

Earth overcomes thunder, thunder overcomes fire, fire overcomes water, and water overcomes wind. You must understand this.

But for example, if a wind-type mutant is level 30 and a fire-type mutant is level 60, then the bonus of the wind type to the fire type will basically not exist. This is due to the difference in abilities.

Therefore, when we attack, we mostly use single-type abilities. When each team is forming a formation, they will also form a formation based on the level and type of abilities.

But these things should be common sense for people with special abilities, don't you...know?"

Qin Lei: "We don't know. After all, the biggest problem we face is filling our stomachs..."

Qin Lei's mind: Why add that last sentence?! What common sense! What the hell common sense! Versailles without a shortage of food!

At this time, Fu Ning came over with an anxious look on his face: "Base Commander, a wave of mutant beasts is coming!"

Yin Shan's mouth twitched: "She's my person, oh no, she's my beast. Go find Zhao Jian and ask him to bring Hou Ting over."

Fu Ning: Oh...your beasts...look at the team led by the base commander, the mutant beasts are all in large numbers...

After thinking about it, Fu Ning looked at his base commander with contempt and went to find Zhao Jian with resentment.

Yin Shan looked at Fu Ninglin with a puzzled look and was about to ask when Qin Lei said, "Don't ask. If you ask, it means he dislikes me.

Fu Ning was once my vice-captain, and we retired together. He has a bit of a whimsical personality, so please don't mind, Major General Yin."

Yin Shan: I don’t mind. This is just the female version of Hou Ting.

Just as I was thinking about it, Hou Ting arrived and complained, "Why would I come here?! You've already solved everything! Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"

Yin Shan: "Oh, I forgot to tell you to go back."

Hou Ting: ...

Qin Lei: ...

"Captain Qin, I want to know how the Star-Spangled People were able to locate you. Also, why haven't the ordinary survivors in your base awakened their special abilities?"

Qin Lei was slightly stunned. He understood the first sentence, but what did the second sentence mean? Why didn’t ordinary survivors awaken their special powers?

Seeing his dazed expression, Hou Ting said speechlessly, "Before the plate collision, didn't you and other official bases communicate with the Kyoto base?

The reason why we have superpowers is because some aspect of our body has broken through the limit. As long as the limit is broken through, the superpower can be awakened.

This is regardless of the length of time.”

Qin Lei explained, "These are all normal official exchanges. We haven't asked about this. Maybe my uncle... isn't that right? Base Director Fang thinks these are common sense questions, so we don't know anything about them.

But if we break through the limit, then I don't think we will have any new superpowers. Right now, the most important thing for everyone is to fill their stomachs. If we can't even eat enough, how can we break through?"

Hou Ting was furious when she heard this. What do you mean you can't eat enough? Are you crying poor? This anger, coupled with the fact that she was forced to hurry, made her even angrier. She retorted, "It's about pushing your body's limits, not just eating to your limit!"

For example, if an ordinary survivor in your base has been swinging a sledgehammer, even though he doesn't have enough to eat, his strength will continue to increase as he swings the sledgehammer over the years. At first, he may not be able to swing 10 hammers, but later he may be able to swing 100 hammers without any problem.

"It's very likely that when he can swing 1,000 hammers without breaking a sweat, he'll break through his limits and awaken his supernatural powers. Do you understand?"

Qin Lei's eyes lit up: "In other words, this limit is aimed at a breakthrough in a certain aspect? But most people with special abilities are athletes, military police, or very smart people. It's rare for ordinary people to awaken special abilities!

...Ah! I get it! It's because these people have been constantly improving their physical fitness for years that they're able to achieve breakthroughs.

Although people may not have enough to eat after the apocalypse, their ability to adapt to the environment is actually improving. In other words, although they may appear unhealthy, their bodies are actually being slowly transformed! As long as you focus on improving a certain aspect, it is very easy to awaken superpowers.

Hou Ting nodded: "Not bad, not too stupid. Why, is Fang Wenting your uncle?"

Qin Lei was about to retort, but then he remembered that he had just let something slip, so he simply said, "Well, but I don't want you to take extra care of me just because of my uncle. I want you to recognize me as a person, so I haven't said anything yet."

Yin Shan: Isn't this typical second-generation thinking? Can't wait to prove they can break away from that influential elder, but still be awesome?

Hou Ting: "The result hasn't changed much, but you should be more confident! Aren't you quite powerful now? Honestly, you're much more powerful than most ordinary psychics I've seen. Even though you're a little stupid, you're still awesome!"

Qin Lei: Thank you for praising me...

After giving Yin Shan a reassuring look, Hou Ting said no more.

Yin Shan asked, "What are your plans next? Relocate the base?"

Speaking of business, a dangerous light flashed in Qin Lei's eyes: "Major General Yin should have seen that the geographical location of our base and the camouflage of the perimeter are very good. It stands to reason that unless the exact location is known, it would be difficult to find us.

So we can't rule out the possibility that there's a mole inside our base."

Yin Shan said, "You can investigate secretly, but I want to tell you that mutants have a keen sense of smell. The reason we were able to attract them to attack us is because our blood smells better than the remaining people in your base."

Qin Lei nodded to show that he understood, then hesitantly said, "Um...Major General Yin, why don't you stay here for a few days?"

Yin Shan laughed and said, "Okay, you're as cunning as your uncle!"

Afterwards, Qin Lei personally marked out an area for everyone at the Spark Base to temporarily reside. After thinking about it, Yin Shan decided to let A Cang and the mutant beasts find a place to stay on the outskirts.

After all, this base is not that big...

That night, Yin Shan and Hou Ting entered the space. Hou Ting said, "This Qin Lei is quite reliable. At least he didn't lie. What are your plans? I see you being so attentive here. Do you have any ideas?"

Hou Ting was really anxious, fearing that her best friend would get carried away and pick up the love-minded idea that she had thrown away for so many years.

Yin Shan was confused. "What's the idea? The location of this base is no longer safe. Once Qin Lei finds out, they'll have to relocate. We don't know how many official bases our country has on this continent, so I'm wondering if we should have them relocate to the outskirts of our base."

Hou Ting felt relieved after hearing this. After a moment of thought, she said, "Since you don't have any other ideas, it's best not to interfere. Even if they move their base, we can just leave some people behind to protect them. There's no need for you to be here in person."

Yin Shan smiled slyly and said, "I think Qin Lei and Fu Ning can be considered for recruitment. As for the others, I don't have any ideas.

These two people, without much evolutionary fluid, have high levels of supernatural powers, and they can also cultivate their spiritual power on their own, which shows that they have a high level of understanding. In addition, they are both retired soldiers, so Li Bo also has a high opinion of Qin Lei..."

Hou Ting was speechless and said, "You poached the leader all of a sudden, what will happen to the people below you?"
