Chapter 437 How to Choose

Whether the deputy manager Shi Ding would report it or not, no one seemed to care about this issue.

After all, everyone believes that all schemes and tricks are insignificant in the face of absolute power.

However, Dong Yuanjiu eliminated two of Shi Ding's confidants, and his men offended a huge superpowered team, which gave him the upper hand in the struggle with Shi Ding.

At a recent management meeting, the neutral faction clearly favored Dong Yuanjiu, leaving Shi Ding suppressed and unable to speak out against his anger.

Shi Ding remained quiet for a few days, and then at a meeting, he suddenly brought up something: "I have contacted Manager Zhou of the Hope Base. Their base's upgraded evolution fluid will be cooperating with us."

Speaking of this, Dong Yuanjiu became somewhat angry.

The reason why Shi Ding once overshadowed him at the Phoenix Base was because he had access to the evolution fluid, while he did not.

More precisely, all the flying ability users at Phoenix Base are under his control.

Without flying ability users, cooperating with Hope Base would undoubtedly be extremely difficult, given the vast distance between the two locations, making it very challenging to conduct transactions using manpower or vehicles.

However, those with flying abilities are different. Although there are flying zombies, they are a minority. Therefore, those with flying abilities are still highly sought after.

There aren't many flying ability users at Phoenix Base, only eleven, all of whom are under Shi Ding's command.

Dong Yuanjiu hadn't realized the importance of flying ability users before, and by the time he did, all of them had already become Shi Ding's people.

He wanted to recruit more later, but there were already few people who had awakened superpowers, let alone those who happened to be flight-type.

Therefore, after the news of the evolution fluid came out, it could only be handled by Shi Ding. He had a vital lifeline in his hands, and Dong Yuanjiu was constantly hampered by him.

Because of this, Shi Ding also recruited many of his own people into the base, and the base gradually became divided into three factions: Dong, Shi, and Zhongli.

"Then I'll have to trouble Deputy Manager Shi to pull some strings for this matter," Dong Yuanjiu said, still feeling resentful.

As long as he doesn't have his own squad of flying superhumans, he can't eradicate Shi Ding's influence.

Before this, it seemed like an unsolvable problem.

Dong Yuanjiu was also quite helpless about this.

After all, the upgraded evolution fluid is too important. For some reason, a large number of zombies have upgraded again. Now most of them are level three zombies, level two zombies are rare, and level one zombies are about to become extinct.

Improving the strength of the base's superhumans is of utmost urgency!

“No problem.” Shi Ding smiled broadly. “As the deputy manager of the base, I am naturally responsible for the base. It’s just that I’ve been in a bad mood lately. When I’m in a bad mood, I become lazy and don’t want to do anything.”

Dong Yuanjiu knew he was about to make a request, but he couldn't stop him, so he could only go along with it and say, "What's wrong with Deputy Manager Shi? Tell us and see if we can resolve it?"

"Two of my trusted men died a couple of days ago. Although they made mistakes, they were still my men. I'm definitely not happy about their deaths, especially since the murderer is still at large and living a carefree life in our base. It makes me feel bad, and when I feel bad, I can't handle things."

Upon hearing this, Dong Yuanjiu's face darkened.

He knew that Shi Ding was referring to Ling Ran's team as the murderer, but wasn't he also implying that he was being referred to as well?

After all, he was the one who actually harmed Liu and Jia.

“Pei Yi’s team is exceptionally strong. I’m keeping my elite teams for missions, since evolution fluid is important, but supplies are equally important.”

Shi Ding wanted to use him to deal with Pei Yi's team, so that they would both suffer heavy losses, but Dong Yuanjiu was unwilling to do so.

That instinct to sound the alarm, whether before or after the apocalypse, had saved his life several times. Dong Yuanjiu would never offend Pei Yi's team for the upgraded evolution fluid.

Yes, in Dong Yuanjiu's heart, Pei Yi's team is more important than the upgraded evolution fluid!

Anyway, if Shi Jiu doesn't trade the evolution fluid, that's a matter for the entire base; at worst, they'll all die together. But if he offends Pei Yi's team, then only he will die.

Since they were going to die anyway, Dong Yuanjiu naturally chose to drag Shi Ding down with him!

Shi Ding frowned slightly and emphasized again, "About the upgraded evolution fluid..."

Before he could finish speaking, Dong Yuanjiu interrupted him: "Deputy Manager Shi, I really have no one left to manage. There are so few superhumans in the base now, and so many survivors. The daily supplies are a huge amount. I am willing but unable to do anything about it."

At this point, Dong Yuanjiu sneered, "Since Deputy Manager Shi is so restless, then he should solve it himself. I can't help you with that."

Shi Ding never expected that Dong Yuanjiu would rather give up the upgraded evolution fluid than offend those people.

What a coward!

As the commander of a base with 30,000 people, a base that ranks among the top in the country, and with so many subordinates under his command, he was actually afraid of a superpowered squad of about ten people!

Shi Ding truly looked down on Dong Yuanjiu.

However, the other party relented, and he would go and cause trouble for that squad, and Dong Yuanjiu wouldn't stop him. Even though he intended to use him to kill someone, Shi Ding was happy to do so.

Seeking revenge for Liu Jia was only a very minor part of the issue; the greater reason was the unrest among his men caused by the recent deaths of Liu Jia and Liu Jia.

He had to deflate those people's arrogance and show his men that following him was a promising career path, and now there was another reason for it.

He dealt with the person even Dong Yuanjiu feared. What will others think?

Nobody's a fool. They can think of the same things as the other party. It all depends on what choices they make.

The meeting ended unhappily.

As soon as Shi Ding left the conference room, he arrogantly ordered his confidant to call for reinforcements.

He wants everyone to see this slap in the face.

What Dong Yuanjiu dares not do, Shi Ding dares to do!

Once he's dealt with those people, he'll see what face Dong Yuanjiu has left to sit in that position.

Because Shi Ding was too arrogant and made no attempt to hide it, many superhumans got the news quickly, and many onlookers even found the best viewing spot in front of Ling Ran and the others' residence.

Whoosh whoosh——

One after another, some were on rooftops, some in trees, some flew up directly, and some hid in corners.

The commotion was so loud that not only Gu Zijing, but even Pei Xiu and the others felt it.

What's the meaning?

Did you find yourself surrounded by the whole world while getting a massage?

Gu Zijing released her spiritual energy and then felt that the scene was unusually familiar: "Although the focus of these people is on us, judging from their appearance, it seems that they are not going to attack us. Instead, it is very similar to the position of those people when the adults dealt with Liu Jia and the others that day. Hmm, the position of watching the show."

"Watch a play? We didn't even set up a stage!"

"We didn't get a ride, but someone else probably did."

"No." Zhou Hang said incredulously, "After those guys were dealt with like that by the adults that day, who would dare to come? Don't their penises hurt?"
