Chapter 29: Everyone is searching for a place to belong.
Now that his destination was decided, Qi An stopped thinking about it.
She was still looking forward to going to the new base. They were too famous at the old base now, and she was afraid that they would be stared at like rare animals whenever they went out in the future!
After completing the purification task assigned to her by Teacher Tang in the morning, Qi An had a rare get-together with You Zi, Lu Sui, and Lin Jia Ran for lunch.
Of course, the other two ate compressed rations with a few pieces of dried mutton, while Qi An ate a large bowl of millet porridge and a small bowl of soft-cooked wild vegetables and pumpkin puree.
Want that lavish feast you had at your previous gathering? No way!
Lin Jiaran was in a good mood, You Zi complained a few times about how heavy the task was, and Lu Sui remained silent.
Seeing Lu Sui staring blankly out the window with her head propped up, Qi An couldn't help but ask, "Do you still want to join the new base?"
Lu Sui snapped out of her reverie: "I wanted to... but I was just saying it casually before..."
She had this idea before, when she wasn't sure if the new base could be built. Now that the situation has stabilized, she naturally has even more ideas.
but......
She suddenly thought of something and looked at Qi An!
Qi An asked, "Would you be willing to defect and never return to the new student base again in your life?"
Lu Sui paused for a moment.
This moment was rather long, lasting a full two minutes, but the woman with a somewhat thin face and sharp, bright eyes nodded firmly: "I'm willing!"
She has relatives; her uncle and cousin's family are at the new student base.
But if she doesn't go back, will that family be heartbroken to be separated from a loved one by thousands of miles, or saddened to lose a purification master who can get at least one free purification every time she visits, and whose reputation is quite impressive?
Lu Sui knew the answer, so when she lowered her eyes, she didn't know whether to be glad that she had no worries or to mock herself for having no worries.
However, she was more worried about whether the matter would succeed!
Qi An also had some concerns, but not many.
She took a long nap in the afternoon, and in the evening, she took her phone and slowly typed and strolled around the much emptier Dongying.
On the rooftop of a dormitory building in the southeast corner of Dongying, a man sitting casually in the afterglow of the setting sun, his back gleaming, also held a mobile phone.
Chen Yuezhou smiled as he read Qi An's message twice before looking up at Chen Xi, who was leaning against the water tower. His gaze and voice became cold and indifferent.
"Neither I nor the entire Martial God Team 1 will return to the new recruit base."
If your orders are to kill me if I defect, then go ahead and do it now; let's go down there and have a fight."
Chen Yuezhou pointed to the south of the base, a wide, flat area covered with scorched earth riddled with shell craters:
"Don't try to assassinate her, she'll be worried."
When Chen Yuezhou said the words "she would worry," his tone became surprisingly soft again, and a smile appeared on his lips.
When Qi An had just woken up, he asked him about his future plans.
She had helped him so much, and even after waking up, she was still concerned about him.
Chen Xi coldly replied, "You were hiding behind her?"
Chen Yuezhou hid behind Qi An during the surgery, and he still uses Qi An as a shield now!
If it were an assassination attempt at night, Chen Xi could kill Chen Yuezhou. One of the goals he had been trained for over the years was to kill Chen Yuezhou!
Chen Yuezhou will eventually lose control; that's something that person clearly stated!
Chen Yuezhou's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "You've only survived these past seven days by hiding behind her."
Xu Le had long ago said he wanted to kill Chen Xi while he was seriously injured, but Chen Yuezhou didn't allow it.
Many subtle contradictions lay between them, but when their two identical black eyes met, a certain astonishing tacit understanding made them both understand something.
He understood, but the fighting spirit in his eyes only intensified!
Chen Yuezhou stood up casually, his slender figure casting an even longer and sharper shadow in the setting sun!
The wind calmed for a moment, but then roared again as the rapidly moving body pulled it back into motion!
Chen Xi seemed to be faster than the wind, standing in front of Chen Yuezhou, his blade drawing a beautiful silver arc from bottom to top!
Chen Yuezhou's muscular physique seemed to allow him to react before his brain and spine could even give commands. He leaned back sharply, narrowly dodging a slash that was moving at lightning speed. His right hand had already drawn a pistol, and as he dodged the second downward slash, he pulled the trigger!
This shot was fired without the slightest hesitation or deviation, aimed directly at Chen Xi's vital points!
But Chen Xi anticipated the trajectory of the bullet and deflected the blade.
After the loud bang of the bullet leaving the barrel, there was another huge thud!
Even a bullet of that caliber didn't leave a mark on the nano-vibration blade; it was even bounced back!
Chen Yuezhou was hit in the left shoulder by the tail of a bullet, and he fired his second and third bullets without pause.
They were injured at the same time, and simultaneously swept away like two black whirlwinds.
Chen Xi was hit by a bullet, his skin and flesh were torn open!
However, Chen Yuezhou's magazine had a limited number of bullets, and after they created distance, Chen Yuezhou was no longer able to hit Chen Xi.
Chen Xi only needs to wait for an opportunity when he runs out of bullets before he can get close and thrust again!
They are actually like two sides of the same coin: one is faster and more agile, while the other is stronger and more ferocious!
They are like two different moments in the same time and space.
It's as if it separates a person's past and future and presents them simultaneously.
They fought extremely fiercely.
They even fell from the rooftop, each searching for a cushion in mid-air while still launching vicious attacks.
With this matter on her mind, Lu Sui, who came to find Qi An as soon as she finished her work, immediately saw two figures in the air and was stunned.
She was both frightened by the intensity of the battle and amazed by the inexplicable beauty of the two equally handsome men colliding and entangled at high speed.
"Them! Is it because of you, or because the headquarters is about to defect?" she asked Qi An in surprise.
Qi An was also staring intently at the two men. Hearing this, he was taken aback and quickly replied, "Of course it's because of the defection!"
"Chen Xi is going to kill the head of the brigade?" Lu Sui asked anxiously, pulling out her phone as she spoke!
"It's alright," Qi An quickly reassured him. "Chen Xi can't kill Chen Yuezhou, nor can he stop him from leaving the new student base."
"How can you be so sure?" Lu Sui asked, frowning.
The two may be evenly matched, and the headquarters also has the entire Martial God Team 1, so Chen Xi really can't kill him. However, Chen Xi's actions have already demonstrated the base's absolute opposition to the headquarters' defection!
Would Base North 1 risk alienating Base North by accepting this group of people?
The original base's power and dominance made Lu Sui instinctively feel as if a heavy stone was pressing on her heart, making it hard to breathe.
Qi An's questions that morning made her feel that they were very unreliable.
Qi An insisted on his own opinion and asked her, "Was this war led by North Base 1 or by the New Base?"
“Naturally, it’s Base North 1,” Lu Sui replied.
"Why is the new student base providing such strong support?"
“For…minerals,” Lu Sui said.
"It's also for minerals, but mainly for energy," Qi An said. "Your high-tech laboratories and in-vitro embryo culture equipment must all be incredibly energy-intensive."
Furthermore, the area where the new base is located experiences winter for half the year, requiring long-term heating. In addition, there aren't many insects in such cold places, making it difficult to collect enough insect oil...
The new base is extremely short of energy and desperately needs the technology and raw materials for controlled nuclear fusion!
If this "fire source" war drags on for a long time, the new base will be indispensable in terms of medicine, resources, and personnel.
But now the war has reached a turning point towards victory!
Both new bases are under the control of the North 1 Base, and the uranium mines are firmly in the hands of the North North 1 Base!
Will the new student base dare to turn against them?
