The group entered the living room, and He Xiaobei poured hot water for the two of them:

"Was Major Luo's leg injured in the battle with the mutant vine?"

Luo Pingjun held the cup with both hands, took a sip of hot water and sighed:

"Yes, that vine was more troublesome than we expected. Fortunately, you left early."

He Xiaobei was shocked:

"What? Did it really catch up?"

Luo Pingjun nodded:

"Yes, on the night the reinforcements arrived, it suddenly emerged from the ground and attacked the camp. Many people were still asleep at the time, so it caught us all off guard. Fortunately, the improved flamethrowers and laser weapons brought by the reinforcements played a significant role, and we were not completely wiped out, but we still suffered heavy casualties."

He Xiaobei was a little scared, but luckily she ran fast:

"Did you kill the mutant Ivy Man?"

Luo Pingjun continued to sigh and shook his head helplessly:

"No, it ran away. Actually, we thought we had killed it at first. We burned it with the flamethrower for a long time, and it really caught fire. Even the main vine withered. It wasn't until we wanted to dig it out of the ground that we realized we probably only burned part of its body. The vines broke off a little below the ground. It was smart and cut off its tail to survive."

The living room was quiet for a moment. He Xiaobei thought about the riot again, thinking that maybe the other party knew something about the inside story.

She had no one else to ask, so she opened her mouth:

"Major Luo, do you know what happened to the riot in the base a few days ago?"

Luo Pingjun only thought about it for a moment, and he felt that there was no need to be shy about this matter.

Although He Xiaobei was not considered a high-ranking official, his status was clear, so he did not hide it:

"Yes, it was the He family who planned this riot in conjunction with a soon-to-retire officer from the military who wanted to seize power."

He Xiaobei was a little confused:

"Do they have such great capabilities? Can they mobilize so many people?"

There seems to be over a million people on the base now, so the position of the soon-to-retire officer is not small.

"Of course they didn't. The He family first gathered a lot of small gathering places and robbery gangs outside the base. Those people were struggling to survive outside and were much more ferocious than those in the base. Then they let these people slowly enter the base. The small private bases directly asked the base for help, and the base sent people to pick them up. Gradually, their number of people increased."

Luo Pingjun took a sip of water and continued with a somewhat regretful expression:

"That soon-to-retire commander had previously violated regulations by placing many of his trusted associates on patrol. They took advantage of the mutant vine incident and dispatched a significant number of personnel from the base. They also had people outside falsely request assistance, sending away several rescue teams. They hoped to seize complete control of the base while it was operating. They'd first have the people in the slums riot, drawing all the soldiers back there, and then take control of the other management from the top of the mountain."

It turns out there are so many things going on here, and the He family's ambitions are so big.

They wanted the entire base. Baishan wasn't enough for them? They even wanted to take over the official base?

"They never considered that even if they took control of the base, what would happen? If other bases sent reinforcements, would they be able to hold on?"

"Alas, in this weather, sending reinforcements would take a long time, and even if they did, they would have already reorganized the base. Kyoto has a lot of things to do right now, and its control over the region is no longer what it used to be. Besides, the emperor is far away. They're just trying to give it a try, but you're right. Even if they manage to control the base, they'll ultimately be suppressed by the government."

He Xiaobei thought for a moment, and told the other party what happened that night:

"Who are they trying to threaten by arresting me? They can't just threaten Kyoto directly, right?"

"Yes, they're thinking about your relationship with Qing Yuansi. They want to use you to exchange for the recipe for the developer's potion. A base alone isn't enough; technology is needed for long-term success, so they came up with this tactic."

For a moment the living room was quiet again.

He Xiaobei really didn't expect that the He family and that leader would really dare to do that.

He actually dared to threaten Kyoto. Is he afraid that he would live too long?

Are power, wealth, and glory so alluring? Could they even make people lose their minds?

Seeing that He Xiaobei stopped talking, Luo Pingjun turned around and looked at the man pushing the wheelchair.

The man understood and immediately handed him a long cloth-wrapped object.

He Xiaobei watched his series of actions with a puzzled look on his face.

Luo Ping opened the cloth, revealing a leather case inside.

The leather case was in the shape of an axe, and He Xiaobei's mouth twitched slightly when he saw it.

Then Luo Pingjun opened the button on the leather case and pulled out an axe that was much larger than the fire axe she had before.

And... the axe was painted pink all over.

He Xiaobei looked at Luo Pingjun handing the axe to him and felt speechless.

This guy really doesn't understand romance. He actually gave her an axe.

But it seems that everyone around her gives these as gifts.

Qin Yuan originally asked Captain Chang from the rescue team to give him an assault rifle.

Qi Yang gave himself two sniper rifles.

Now Luo Pingjun directly gave her an axe.

The round ones don't count.

Although there may be reasons behind this, are these people so unromantic?

Apart from these things, you can’t give anything else that girls like.

"You lost your axe while saving me. Let's see if this new one works well for you."

He Xiaobei resisted the urge to beat the other person, but still reached out to take the axe.

After taking a look at it, he found that the workmanship of the axe was really good, and his expression improved a little.

Looking at He Xiaobei's expression, Luo Pingjun felt that he had given the right gift, and he felt a little secretly happy inside.

But she didn't forget what she said at that time, and continued quickly:

"Not only the axe, but I also promised you that I would give you a certain amount of points as compensation when you get to the base. I don't have many points in my card, so I've prepared 5,000 points for you. Do you think that's enough? If not, I'll save up and give you more later."

He Xiaobei waved his hands quickly:

"Oh, it was just a joke. This axe is nice. Consider it your compensation."

Seeing this, Luo Pingjun didn't dwell on this issue too much. After that, the two chatted for a few more words, and then Luo Pingjun took his men away.

He Xiaobei looked at the two people's backs as they walked away and felt a little sorry.

Luo Pingjun's long, straight and beautiful legs were injured. What a waste.
