Han Zheng entrusted the keys to the armory to Qian Xiangdong and Song Guang for safekeeping, which shows that he trusts the two of them quite a bit.

Chi Xia finally felt relieved and said to Qian Xiangdong, "You're right. The group that Horn joined is just a rabble. The banner they wave is that they can't coexist with zombies, and most of those who agreed to mutiny with him did so for this reason. But Horn is not like that."

Chi Xia smiled faintly, her fair skin seemingly bathed in soft light, like a beauty filter had been applied, making her stunningly beautiful.

Qian Xiangdong blinked and quickly looked away.

Chi Xia remained oblivious, her smile turning into a hint of sarcasm: "Horn's wolfish ambition is to possess the entire Sirius Base. Those with grievances are merely pawns in his game. These people may seem to share the same goal, but they are actually quite different, and most importantly..."

"What's most important?"

Qian Xiangdong was unconsciously drawn to Chi Xia's words and turned to look at her again.

Chi Xia smiled faintly: "Most importantly, those who followed Huo En only wanted to force the emperor to abdicate, not to usurp the throne. Just like those who forced Emperor Xuanzong of Tang to kill Yang Guifei, they only wanted to correct a mistake, not to plot to seize the throne."

Qian Xiangdong nodded upon hearing this: "Therefore, as long as we expose Horn's wolfish ambitions, we can win without a fight."

Upon hearing this, Chi Xia turned her head to look at him, a hint of surprise in her dark eyes.

Qian Xiangdong touched his nose: "Did I... say something wrong?"

Chi Xia didn't want to discourage him, so she just nodded and said, "Captain Qian makes a lot of sense, but the problem is that Horn's ambition is his secret. He raised the banner to cover up his ambition. Before things are done, he just needs to go with the flow. It's not impossible to expose him, but it's too difficult."

Upon hearing this, Qian Xiangdong asked, "Then what should we do?"

"It's actually very simple."

Chi Xia said, "It's difficult to let Horn expose himself, but we can frame him for this crime and tell our people directly that Horn, under the pretense of demanding cooperation with the capital, has gathered a group of people to seize the base. He even kidnapped me and General Han to threaten them, and he also wants to force Han Junche and Qin Zhao to lose their superpowers. He even plans to kill us after he succeeds."

Upon hearing this, Qian Xiangdong immediately flew into a rage: "How dare Horn! He's practically courting death!"

Chi Xia was satisfied with his reaction and nodded, saying, "Tell everyone, this is absolutely true. I heard it with my own ears after I was kidnapped by Horn. There is no possibility of reconciliation between us and Horn; we can only resolve this by force. The wider this news spreads, the better. At breakfast time this morning, we'll gather everyone and go seize the armory!"

Qian Xiangdong was furious, but immediately agreed and went out to do it.

As he opened the door, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Is he really planning to force Captain Han and Qin Zhao to lose their superpowers, and then kill you afterwards?"

Chi Xia looked up at him: "If he succeeds, it's very likely."

Qian Xiangdong nodded: "I understand."

After saying this, he left the room, and Chi Xia sat in the room, quietly waiting for news.

Aside from their loyalty to Han Zheng, most people at the entire Sirius Base were actually unwilling to cooperate with the capital, because no one wanted to risk their lives for a threat that had not yet arrived.

It was precisely because of this that Horn was able to unite so many people overnight.

Most of these people just hoped that Han Zheng and Han Junche could change their minds or provide a safe solution; they certainly didn't want to fight anyone.

As long as they adopt a do-or-die stance and declare Horn's wolfish ambitions.

There's no need for any real action; the alliance Horn has built will soon crumble from within.
