After making all the arrangements, Su Cheng went to the broadcasting room, took a portable speaker and microphone, drank two bottles of Huoxiang Zhengqi water, and walked to the broadcasting station, holding the microphone: "Hello, hello everyone, I'm Su Cheng! Last night, the base commander and the deputy base commander took some survivors to the reservoir in the next county and found the culprit of the arson. The base commander asked me to punish them according to the base rules. I tied them up and beat them up!

But it's not a relief. The fire they set burned several mountains and nearly reached our base. Over a million people have been injured or suffered heat stroke while fighting the fire. Over 500 people have died from heat stroke while fighting the fire, either on the spot or after returning to base. Because of them, our base's water resources have been severely depleted. We may soon face a severe water shortage and no water to drink!

"The base commander knows that you're putting out fires like soldiers risking your lives, and I feel bad for you. Therefore, I, Su Cheng, will lead the security officers to bring these arsonists to every household. You will decide their fate! However, our base has a population of 2.3 million, so please be gentle, otherwise everyone will have no way to vent their anger!"

After a pause, Su Cheng continued, "Why didn't the base commander or deputy base commander come forward and ask you to retaliate? It's because the base commander and deputy base commander rushed to the front line of the firefighting with everyone yesterday. They were seriously injured and are temporarily recovering at home! I know you will feel sorry for our base commander and deputy base commander when you hear this news.

To help the Base Commander and Deputy Base Commander recover quickly, please don't disturb them. I'll have the announcer in the broadcast room report safety to everyone every day. Let's pray for their speedy recovery! I also hope everyone can live their lives in peace and not worry about the sick Base Commander!

"Finally, everyone, please wait at your workplace or home. I'll bring the arsonist to find you right now! If you can't wait today, there's still tomorrow. There's no need to rush, just think carefully about how to get revenge!"

After leaving the broadcasting room, Su Cheng came out with the speakers and microphone, and the people from the Security Bureau carried the group of people and followed him.

The survivors' residences were closest to the office building. Su Cheng walked from building to building, registering after each one. "Now, survivors in the first unit of the second building of the base residence, please get ready. We have arrived downstairs!"

When Su Cheng agreed to take on this job last night, he told Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo about his idea, so Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo came out of the space at the right time. They also put on battle-damaged makeup to let everyone see that their exposed faces and skin were very badly damaged, almost like the soldiers' condition. This way, the survivors would know that they were not lying and that the condition was indeed very serious.

So when they heard Su Cheng's voice, they were helped to the window, where they could clearly see the situation downstairs.

Lu Xingtang saw that Su Cheng and his men had tied up the group of people like dumplings, and pushed them upstairs to be punished. The survivors saw that they were hesitant and cursed them very badly. They were so angry that they rushed downstairs with their tools.

"You've committed such a heinous crime, yet you still dare to curse us? We haven't even cursed you enough! You damn bastards, if it weren't for the base commander's timely decision and the soldiers' selfless dedication to charge forward, our base would have been burned down! If it weren't for the 2.3 million compatriots waiting for you at the base, I would want to kill you right now!"

"This is the chili water I prepared. I used ten points to buy it from the points exchange office to make chili peppers. Scumbag, each of you give me a sip!"

Su Cheng immediately ordered the security personnel: "Help her to drink pepper spray! One sip per person!" The person was shouting loudly, and not a lot of pepper spray was prepared. One sip per person was definitely enough.

"Ahh! I get it, I don't want to drink the pepper spray!"

"Let me go. I'm no longer from Lancheng Base. You have no right to deal with us!"

"I've already said that we didn't set the fire, it was those guys. Why are you trying to implicate innocent people like us? Please, let us go. We are willing to serve as slaves to make up for our mistakes. Please don't punish us."

"Base Commander, please have mercy on us and let us go. We were wrong. We really know we were wrong!"

But Lu Xingtang ignored their cries and shouts, watching them coldly as they were poured with pepper water. The spiciness made them cry and snot, and they even started vomiting. Their faces became even redder from the scorching heat, and they fell to the ground powerlessly, breathing out air. But within two seconds, their bodies quickly collapsed, and they made "ahhhh" sounds from their mouths, "It's so hot! So spicy!"

The temperature is 68 degrees, and the surface temperature has reached 78 degrees, a difference of 10 degrees. The shoes they wear are straw sandals and cloth shoes. If they were rubber shoes, leather shoes or other sandals, they would have melted long ago.

They are flesh and blood, how can they withstand such high temperatures on the ground? It is like putting them in a frying pan and frying them, with no way to survive.

"Give me some water! I'm so hot, so spicy, I'm wrong... Commander, I was wrong... People in the base, we really know we're wrong, please let us go!"

But no one was willing to let them go. Living in the extreme heat was already difficult, and then they were burned by a fire, with countless deaths and injuries, making their lives even more difficult.

"I prepared some footbath water. I was originally planning to use it for mopping the floor, but then I washed the dirty pants I wore while fighting the fire. There's not much water left, so one sip per person is fine!"

Su Cheng's mouth twitched, which showed how angry and hateful the survivors of the base were about this fire.

Seeing the force-feeding of footwash water turned into dirty laundry water, Lu Xingtang felt bad for the group, but she didn't sympathize with them at all. Who made them make the mistake in the first place? Seeing them force-feeding dirty water and watching the group vomit non-stop, Lu Xingtang silently averted his eyes.

"I don't have pepper spray, foot washing water, or laundry water, but I do have a whip. I exchanged it for Director Hu Li from the Material Bureau. It hurts a lot when you hit someone with a whip. I'll only hit each person twice, no more, and let others do the rest!"

Two hits isn't a lot? But he used all his strength to beat them, and the gang was tied up, with nowhere to escape. They fell straight to the ground and took the beating.

"I will hit you too. I don't have any tools, but I have prepared some straw sandals. I have worn these sandals out and they cannot be repaired at all. I can only use my old sandals. I'm sorry!" As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up the straw sandals and hit them in the face, once on each side. The hits were very symmetrical, and the marks were bright red and very dazzling.
