Xie Lin identified the three men hiding in the basement behind the square.
One was a middle-aged man in a white coat, wearing frameless glasses and looking very refined; he must have been a doctor.
Another middle-aged man grinned slyly, looking like he was determined to win.
The last one was rather speechless. He was dressed in a blue Taoist robe, with a sparse topknot, holding a whisk, and looking quite profound.
Even in the apocalypse, why are there still charlatans?
The three of them looked thin, but they were the most chubby in the entire base.
"Master Baiyun, what should we do next?"
"Of course, it's about killing all the stubborn people who are standing in your way. Don't forget what I told you: if it gets any later, a benefactor will come to the base and bring a large amount of food."
"When the time comes, if you take out that little bit of food, won't that be enough to appease that greedy dog who's like a refugee?"
"By then, not only will you not be able to rise to power, but the Lu family will continue to trample you underfoot. Are you happy about that?"
The middle-aged man had a sinister look on his face.
"Of course I'm not happy. I was part of the team that built the base back then. Why should I let that guy surnamed Lu tell me what to do? It's time for the power to change hands."
"I'll release the food in a bit, and say it was hidden by the Lu family. Then, hehe, I won't even have to lift a finger; the starving refugees will devour the Lu family."
"Mr. Tan, your move of beckoning without bloodshed is truly brilliant. You deserve to be the future base commander. In any case, I only respect you in this base."
His mouth was anything but "refined"; his whole face exuded evil. You really can't judge a book by its cover.
"By the way, base commander, is our food storage place safe? What if those starving ghosts find it beforehand?"
"Haha, Dr. Hong, you've started calling me the base commander, how could I not be reliable in my work?"
"Don't worry, they won't be able to find it. I'm always very careful when I go to get food for you guys."
Master Baiyun stroked his sparse, long beard. "Chief Tan, do you still remember my request?"
"Of course I remember. Aren't those women fierce? When they come back from their mission, I, as the base commander, will personally wash them clean and send them to your bed."
"It's such a pity about Zhang Qingqing. Her face and waist, although she's a bit thinner now, are still curvy in all the right places. Putting her in the pot is such a waste."
A hint of pity flashed in Master Baiyun's eyes.
"Alright, get on with it. I'm a little uneasy. Something feels off. It was so noisy just now, but it's so quiet now."
"Rest assured, Master. The people I've arranged are all extremely ruthless, and their methods of stirring up trouble are unparalleled. I guarantee they won't let us down."
"However, just in case these people are greedy, once things are done, I'll send them down to reunite with that old geezer surnamed Lu. I'm such a good base commander."
"Once I get rid of these idiots and take over the base, more idiots will bring me food to my door. Then my position will be truly secure, hahaha."
Little did they know, their conversation was being recorded word for word, and all the various voice recorders they had collected before finally came in handy.
Xie Lin sneered and released the broadcasting equipment that Chou Chou had previously tried to acquire in the US.
It's an energy storage device, so it can be moved anytime, anywhere.
The group of people who had finished eating the porridge were quite puzzled, but they didn't ask any questions. They just watched him fiddling with it quietly.
"Hey, is this loudspeaker loud enough for the whole base to hear?" Shishi asked enviously, touching the large loudspeaker.
However, her favorite thing is her little megaphone, which she can carry with her. This big megaphone is too big and heavy, and it's inconvenient to carry it around.
"That's enough. The last base was bigger than this one, so the sound could travel much farther."
Everything was ready when three disheveled, pale-faced, and unsteady-stepping people emerged from around the corner.
"Base Commander, Base Commander, how are you? I heard there was some trouble. It's all my fault. I wasn't feeling well and spent half a day in the medical room. I couldn't stop those troublemakers from helping you."
"Don't worry, Base Commander, I'll protect you. Although I don't have any superpowers, my fists and feet are still strong enough to help you fend off a few thugs."
"The old Taoist priest might be able to help persuade them. Everyone has been hungry these days, and people become restless when they are hungry. Base commander, please don't blame them; they are all part of the base."
The three of them looked so sincere that anyone unaware of the truth could easily be fooled.
The old man was shrewd and experienced. He glanced at Xie Lin out of the corner of his eye and saw that Xie Lin was very composed, but the young girl next to him was full of excitement, with a gleam in her eyes that seemed to be watching a melon. He knew that something was definitely wrong with these three.
He remained silent, waiting for their masterpiece.
Tan Zhao and his two companions were completely bewildered by the sudden appearance of the strangers.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? Wait, why are all these people lying on the ground?"
"So your eyes weren't blind after all. You can finally see them. Alright, shut your stinking mouth. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense."
Xie Lin needed to hurry, so he turned on the loudspeaker whenever he saw someone.
"Hey, hey, hey, sound check! Anyone in the base who hears this, unless they're dead, prick up your ears! You're out of luck."
He fiddled with the device for a while, then pressed the play button, and a gloating male voice came through:
"Master Baiyun, what should we do next?"
"Of course, it's about getting rid of those who stand in your way to power..."
"When the time comes, the little bit of food you offer will be enough to appease that greedy dog who's like a refugee..."
"...Another idiot is delivering food to my door. Now my position is truly secure, hahaha."
The entire broadcast exposed the ugly faces of the three men.
The three were terrified. When they came to their senses and tried to stop it, Shishi kicked them away.
