But they just asked Wen Yubai to assist the No. 7 Base Army in its operations. After all, she was not from the military.
Wen Yubai did not say anything against it. Her gold-based abilities were simply not enough to deal with the hundreds of thousands or even millions of mutant ants. She estimated that the military was not expecting her to charge into battle, but to save the lives of these people in an emergency. After all, her metal protective net had been proven to be useful.
"Aunt, Xiaowen and I will go together on this operation. We can't say for sure how long it will take, but it may take at least one or two days. It's inconvenient and dangerous to take you with me to carry out the mission. Do you think you should go back to Base No. 7 and wait for us first, or go ahead and wait for us?" Major Pei asked Professor Ye.
After experiencing this mutant ant incident, even Major Pei felt that without Wen Yubai and him, it was hard to guarantee the safety of his aunt and cousin.
After seeing the overwhelming number of mutant ants and knowing the murders they had committed, Professor Ye was also a little scared. As a mother, she would be afraid of dying miserably, not to mention the possibility that her daughter might suffer the same fate.
If Wen Yubai stayed in the convoy, she wouldn't be worried, but Wen Yubai also had to go on a mission, and she felt that no matter where she went, she would not be safe.
Although returning to Base No. 7 is a safe and reliable method, the problem is that without the protection of Wen Yubai and Major Pei along the way, she also feels that they may not be able to return to Base No. 7 safely.
However, as a colonel's wife, Professor Ye couldn't bring herself to ask Wen Yubai to send her and her daughter back to Base No. 7 first, and then come back here to complete the mission.
Wen Yubai understood Professor Ye's frightened mentality, but she didn't want to get involved in this matter. Whether they stayed or left, they would face certain dangers. If she got involved and gave advice, she would probably have to take responsibility for any problems in the future.
The only person present who could allow her to take on this responsibility was Wen Weize, and she planned to keep the boy with her, as she felt he would be safest with her.
When Major Pei and Professor Ye were discussing whether to stay or leave, a vehicle from the No. 7 Base Army arrived.
Judging from the speed they drove, they did get here as fast as possible.
The leader of the team was Lieutenant Colonel Lin, the most powerful soldier in Base No. 7. He brought more than 200 people with him.
Perhaps in order to travel faster, they drove combat trucks with very high chassis that were suitable for difficult terrain. One truck carried seventy to eighty soldiers, all standing.
Lieutenant Colonel Lin was obviously relieved when he saw that everyone in Base No. 5 was safe and sound.
Although the satellite video showed that they were not killed, I was still worried until I saw them in person.
"Fortunately, you are all fine, otherwise I don't know how to explain to the old platoon leader." Lieutenant Colonel Lin said, thinking that it was a good thing that the old platoon leader arranged these two masters to pick them up, otherwise it would be difficult for my sister-in-law and her daughter to escape this disaster.
"How can this be blamed on you?" said Major Pei.
This is indeed the truth. This is a purely unforeseen accident and the terrible ecology of the end times.
"The Wang family also came here with their guard team. Wang Cuizhu is now the commander of the base. Any action orders from above will definitely not be bypassed by them. Wang Cuizhu ordered the guard team to cooperate with us and wanted to grab the credit. We had no way to refuse." Lieutenant Colonel Lin said.
Major Pei nodded. Since the superiors had already recognized Wang Cuizhu's identity as the base commander, although the command of the No. 7 Base Army would not be handed over to Wang Cuizhu, Lieutenant Colonel Lin and his men would also cooperate with the base commander's work.
Although the country tacitly allows them to each have their own power due to the end-of-the-world situation, it will not allow the military and the political parties to confront and fight each other.
In order to ensure that there is no power oppression, whether it is the government or the military, if they encounter unreasonable orders, the other party can appeal to the higher authorities to refuse to execute them.
The political people just wanted to share some of the credit. It was impossible for Colonel Lin and his men to appeal because of this matter.
However, not appealing does not mean that one can accept it calmly, so Major Pei estimated that Lieutenant Colonel Lin and others deliberately left the political people behind to let them know how big the gap is between them and the military.
"Xiao Wen, Wang Xiaobo and his second uncle Wang Cuishan are here." Colonel Lin said meaningfully to Wen Yubai.
Wang Cuishan is Wen Yubai's stepfather. He was originally a big shot in the business world and now he is Wang Cuizhu's right-hand man. What's more, he is also very capable in people's livelihood.
Wen Yubai recalled that every time Zhang Xiaoyun took her to live with the Wang family when she was a child, no matter how Wang Cuishan viewed her as his stepdaughter, his attitude was always that of a kind elder.
If it weren't for Wang Xiaobo and the Wang family's plot against Wen Yubai, according to etiquette, she should have visited her mother and stepfather after arriving at Base No. 7.
But not only did she not come to visit, she also left without saying goodbye this morning.
Now Wang Cuishan is still under the banner of rescuing them. When Wang Cuishan comes later, Wen Yubai will feel embarrassed to ignore his stepfather.
She looked at the shield, Major Pei, and he looked at her with some concern.
If it were in the past, she would not have said anything to Major Pei, but the Wang family must have thought that he was her boyfriend, so she felt that she should tell him her attitude towards Wang Cuishan to avoid the two of them having inconsistent expressions.
"My stepfather, on the surface, is a qualified stepfather, but I haven't seen him for six years." Wen Yubai said in a more general way.
Major Pei nodded and understood immediately. It seemed that Wang Cuishan was a little hypocritical, and even the young Xiaowen could sense it.
Yes, if Wang Cuishan really regarded Xiaowen as his stepdaughter, Wang Xiaobo would never treat Xiaowen with such a disrespectful attitude.
"My aunt doesn't want to go back to Base No. 7. It's a waste of time. Can you build a temporary safe house for them?" asked Major Pei.
He was a very decisive person. After he confirmed Professor Ye's attitude, he made the decision without hesitation.
This was just a small matter for Wen Yubai. She didn't want to ride in the No. 7 base army's car, so that the No. 1 military card could be freed up for them to drive.
Watching Wen Yubai conjure up a two-story metal building out of thin air, it was obvious that this metal building could not only protect against attacks from mutant beasts, but even small insects like mutant ants could not get in.
"Miss Wen is so amazing. I don't know how she cultivated herself to this level." Lieutenant Colonel Lin once again expressed his envy, jealousy and hatred.
"Miss Wen is a college student. She is capable and smart. Naturally, she will become stronger faster, unlike some people who always refuse to listen to advice." Colonel Lin's adjutant said coldly. You can tell there is a story behind this remark.
The soldiers at Base 7 were amazed, but everyone at Base 5 was calm.
When Wen Yubai had just started building the metal building, the Wang family also arrived at the scene. Naturally, they saw Wen Yubai's work almost from beginning to end.
On the way, Wang Cuishan received the video sent to them by Captain Wang Ji, and learned how strong the metal protective net condensed by Wen Yubai was. Now he also knew that her use of gold-based supernatural powers had reached perfection.
Thank you Mimi's Ruby dear for the reward and support.
