Despite the Oasis Base's strong resistance, Li Weidong remained unmoved.

"What are you saying, Chief Qing? I'm just here to take our people home. I haven't even asked why your base is detaining our people without cause, and you're already making trouble for me?"

Unjustified detention?

In theory, if the other side's personnel enter the territory of the Oasis Base without taking any items, they should not be detained; otherwise, it would be considered a declaration of war.

but……

Fang Qingdai sneered: "Detaining without cause? Our base has established a security perimeter and has already issued a declaration prohibiting crossing. Your people trespassed during the no-crossing period, and then Commander Li arrived with his armed forces. Is it us who started this trouble, or are you looking for a problem?"

Each base has a vast territory, and most areas are open to the public, meaning that it's perfectly fine for citizens of other bases to occasionally pass by or come to visit.

However, each base will have its own no-crossing zone, which may be a military production area or an agricultural area. In short, the enclosed territory is not completely open.

Li Weidong paused, then suddenly chuckled: "But the territory your base has demarcated is not recognized by the four major bases."

“Building a base isn’t child’s play. If you can just draw a line and claim it as your territory, wouldn’t this wasteland be in complete chaos?”

Fang Qingdai's face darkened.

Territory demarcation usually involves claiming unclaimed land, where small factions occupy the mountains and become kings, and the four major bases generally don't interfere.

However, if a smaller faction becomes too arrogant, the four major bases will use the excuse that their territory is not recognized to wipe them out.

There are two ways to determine territory: one is to fight!

If you're not happy, come and fight. If you win, the territory will naturally be mine!

Another, milder approach is to gain the approval of more than two of the four major bases.

Currently, Oasis Base only has a friendly relationship with Azure Dragon Base, so gaining their approval is not difficult. However, if Oasis Base wants to take this path, it means that it must choose between White Tiger Base or Vermilion Bird Base to establish a friendly base and gain their approval.

With its abundant food supplies, the Oasis Base could easily conquer any other base if it wanted to. However, if it had any demands, it would inevitably be at a disadvantage and be manipulated and threatened.

Moreover, entering the game through this route is equivalent to recognizing two powerful figures from the start, making it impossible for the Oasis Base to have an equal status.

Entering the market is easy, but turning the tide requires many years of operation.

Oasis Base never intended to be handed over to others for manipulation, nor would it allow itself to be in a disadvantageous position.

Therefore, Fang Qingdai spoke directly: "Recognition? These are unclaimed territories, not occupied by any other party. What we occupy is our territory. If any party is interested in these territories, they are welcome to come and negotiate!"

If you can't reach an agreement, then fight! Whoever has the stronger fist wins!

The Oasis Base is quite strong overall, both in terms of the overall level of its ability users and its basic firepower.

Oasis Base also procured tanks and fighter jets through Azure Dragon Base.

What surprised everyone the most was that after seeing the fighter jets at the Qinglong base, Mr. Li said he was 80% confident that he could build them!

Eighty percent is not low, not to mention that we have Fang Qingdai, who has the ability to trace back precision parts. At worst, we can just dismantle the one-to-one replica parts of the fighter jet sent by the Azure Dragon Base!

Many of the citizens of the Oasis Base were recruited by Fang Qingdai from that organization. Those who were too weak were simply not considered by that organization, and they were all highly talented.

In addition, with the good food and drink provided by the Oasis Base over the past three years, and Jing Yi's rigorous training, the troops at the Oasis Base are ready to be deployed at any time!

Seeing Fang Qingdai's firm attitude, Li Weidong frowned slightly.

“Our Xuanwu Base has always maintained a friendly attitude towards the Oasis Base, after all, my wife and children are now developing in your base.”

Fang Qingdai was puzzled. What was this all about?

The next second, Li Weidong smiled and said, "If the Oasis Base becomes stronger, my wife and children will be able to live a better life. How about this, our Xuanwu Base is willing to vote in favor. What does Base Chief Qing think?"

Fang Qingdai remained calm and directly asked, "What are the conditions?"

Li Weidong held up his hand and gestured: "100,000 jin of grain!"

"You're dreaming!" Mao Yun was the first to lose her temper, pointing at Li Weidong and passionately cursing: "You scumbag, have you paid child support yet? You don't pay a penny but you want to skim off a little bit. You want your wife and kids to live a better life? You're just afraid they'll have too much of a life!"

Li Weidong's face darkened slightly as he was being insulted: "Do you even have the right to speak here? You have no sense of hierarchy and no manners whatsoever!"

Mao Yun is a member of the Mao family. Does Li Weidong still treat the Mao family as his possessions?

Before Mao Yun could lash out, a slightly soft voice slowly rang out: "Xiao Yun, if you like what you say, then keep cursing!"

The moment Mao Min appeared, Li Weidong's arrogant demeanor vanished by eight-tenths.

Fang Qingdai, with her keen spiritual power, saw everything clearly and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

Sure enough, a man cannot be supported. Once he achieves success, he will never remember the woman's kindness in helping him. His deep-seated inferiority complex will make him feel for the rest of his life that the support he received was an act of enduring humiliation.

Even after so much time has passed, Li Weidong still suppresses his arrogance when facing Mao Min. It's not that he respects Mao Min; on the contrary, it's because his memory of being subservient to others is constantly being reinforced.

He still remembers where everything he has now comes from, so seeing Mao Min stirs up his deep-seated inferiority complex.

After Mao Yun finished cursing, Fang Qingdai slowly spoke up: "The food is gone. The Azure Dragon Base, White Tiger Base, and Vermilion Bird Base all purchased large quantities of food from us, and our reserves have been emptied."

Li Weidong quickly replied, "Even if we don't have food, we can exchange it for what you have!"

Fang Qingdai's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly, and she asked with a puzzled look, "What's in my hand?"

Li Weidong looked at her with a deep gaze: "This is what you just got yesterday."

Fang Qingdai frowned: "No, what are you talking about?"

Li Weidong stared intently at Fang Qingdai's expression, not missing a single detail. Seeing that Fang Qingdai indeed looked bewildered and impatient, Li Weidong felt a slight sense of relief.

But then Fang Qingdai suddenly widened her eyes, looking as if she had just realized something: "You want that thing?"

Li Weidong's heart jumped again. After thinking for a few seconds, he nodded firmly: "Yes, I want that thing!"

Fang Qingdai immediately burst into a tirade: "Li Weidong, are you even human? Zombies are almost extinct, what are you trying to do by taking the zombie virus now?"

"One god-making experiment isn't enough for you to wreak havoc, are you planning to start a zombie army too?"

Li Weidong was a little confused. What zombies? Did he mention the word "zombie" at all?

Seeing Fang Qingdai's excitement, Li Weidong had an idea and decided to go with the flow!
