Chapter 236 Not Dead But Not Feeling Well

The young man next to Li Changrui slapped him and laughed, "Of course we don't want to give up! That's why we called you out. We'll ask the people who came later to find out their background."

If they really are from the seed base, we'll find an excuse to send them away. If they're not from the seed base, we'll just kick them out.

The person's gone, what can the base commander do? Go out and bring them back? The idea of ​​them joining another base is naturally abandoned.

Li Changrui's eyes lit up. "You're the one with the best ideas. Let's do it this way."

Meng Shiwan and his group had already driven downstairs. The building was surrounded by reinforced metal fences, and even the doors and windows on the first floor were sealed with thick steel plates, presumably to protect against zombies.

Meng Shiwan cleared away the zombies around her, smashed open the fence, used vines to remove several steel plates, leveled the steps, drove the RV into the first-floor lobby, and then used vines to fix the steel plates back in place.

Because the doors and windows were sealed off, the hall was very dark, with only the headlights of two cars providing illumination.

Ye Sangyu jumped out of the car and looked around. "Didn't they ask us for help? Where are they?"

Lin Jingsong and the other two followed closely behind her, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.

Meng Shiwan also got out of the driver's seat, looked around, and saw the surrounding decorations. This place must have been a high-end office building before, with the first floor mostly used for receptions, and it was quite spacious.

"Let's go up and take a look."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw someone come down the stairs, holding several flashlights. The lights were blatantly sweeping across their faces and shining directly into their eyes, without any attempt to hide it.

Meng Shiwan was annoyed, and Ye Sangyu had already started cursing, "Who is it? The flashlight keeps shining in your face, don't you have any manners, or are you too blind to see clearly after shining it over and over again?"

After she finished cursing, the flashlight beam swung around her face twice before moving down, with one beam stopping at her chest.

Ye Sangyu was furious. "Damn it, if you don't know how to behave, I'll teach you."

As she spoke, she tried to step forward and fight, but Lin Jingsong grabbed her arm, pulled her behind him, and shielded her from the light shining on her.

Lin Jingsong gave him a cold look and asked, "Who was calling for help just now?"

Li Changrui sneered twice, "SOS? Nobody's calling for help. Who are you? Which base are you from? Why are you trespassing on our territory?"

As he spoke, his light swept across the faces of Lin Jingsong, Chen Qihao, and Liu Mu, finally landing on Meng Shiwan's face.

Meng Shiwan was handsome, with a face that was both dashing and beautiful. When the light fell on Meng Shiwan's face, he couldn't help but linger for a while longer to take a second look.

Meng Shiwan stared at the bright light, feeling agitated. She unleashed her lightning-based superpower, and lightning struck Li Changrui's head, instantly turning him into a black man with smoke coming out of his hair, his eyes rolling back, and smoke also coming out of his mouth.

He didn't die, but he was in a bad state.

Seeing this, Ye Sangyu immediately laughed gleefully, "Serves him right, it's always better to have some manners."

Li Changrui's companions quickly helped him up. Seeing that he was not in any life-threatening danger except for being charred, they began to criticize him.

"What's wrong with you people? You've trespassed on our territory, and now you're even hitting people?"

"Which base are you from? You're so arrogant. Get lost, or we'll get rough."

Lin Jingsong was seething with anger. "You were the ones who sent out the distress signal, and we came. You have no manners at all. Now you want to kick us out? Are you just messing with us?"

Li Changrui retorted, "We already said we didn't send out a distress signal. You misread it. We haven't even investigated your trespassing and provocation yet. You just hit me without warning. Letting you go is already letting you off easy."

Meng Shiwan sneered, "I'll ask you one last time, are you sure you didn't call for help?"

She has a bad temper; messing with her will only lead to bad consequences.

Judging from the current situation, the people who called for help are either up there or these people are just playing with them. Either way, these people won't be able to get rid of them easily.

"We don't..."

"Yes, it's me sending out a distress signal. We need your help."

Yang Wen shone a flashlight on the ground and quickly walked down the stairs.

She glared at Li Changrui and the others, "I knew you guys wouldn't do your jobs properly, and I was right."

Yang Wen looked around and said to Meng Shiwan and the others, "It was I who sent out the distress signal. I am the base commander here. May I ask which base you are from?"

Lin Jingsong looked at Meng Shiwan. This place was close to the Dawn Base, so he decided to let Meng Shiwan handle it.

Seeing that Yang Wen's attitude was good, Meng Shiwan softened her tone slightly, "From Dawn Base."

Yang Wen felt a little disappointed when she heard the name. She wasn't from the Seed Base, and she had never heard of this Dawn Base before.

There are discussions online about some of the top training bases in China, but she had never heard of this name.

It's unclear whether these people have the capacity to accept and protect her base.

Yang Wen didn't show it on her face, and said politely, "Please come upstairs with me."

Meng Shiwan also wanted to see the situation at the base, so she went upstairs, followed closely by Ye Sangyu and the others.

Li Changrui scrambled to his feet and yelled at Yang Wen, "Yang Wen, is your brain rusty? Or has it been corroded by acid rain? They're from a base I've never even heard of, and they came in and beat me up, and you're going to invite them up for a chat?"

You're not really planning to entrust the base to a base that might be even worse than ours, are you? I disagree. You can't make that decision alone, and talking to them won't help.

Upon hearing his words, Yang Wen clenched her fists tightly. "I am the base commander of this base, and I have the authority to make decisions."

Li Changrui sneered, "If it weren't for the fact that you're a water-type ability user and we're counting on you for water, you wouldn't have been chosen when we were running for base leader. You don't think that just because you're the base leader, your words carry weight, do you? I think you should stop messing around."

Yang Wen didn't want to argue with them in front of outsiders, so she suppressed her anger and smiled at Meng Shiwan and the others, saying, "Let's go upstairs and talk in detail."

Let's go.

Meng Shiwan understood. There was infighting within the base. No wonder those people were so hostile to their arrival.

Yang Wen, holding a flashlight, invited them to sit down in an office on the second floor.

She placed the flashlight in the corner and took out a few candles, lighting them on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Yang Wen smiled awkwardly, "Don't mind it, the conditions at our base aren't that great, they're a bit rudimentary."

Generators consume fuel, and not every base can afford to run them all the time, wasting resources unnecessarily.
