Chapter 204 Learning Has No End
Han Lin clutched his mottled, charred head, his voice shrill and piercing: "My hair! My face! Yuri, I'm going to kill you!"
She suddenly raised her hand, and the soil spikes burst forth, but were stopped halfway by her older brother's wave of his hand.
"Big brother!" Han Lin stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Shut up!" Han Sheng shouted sharply, the wounds on his arm caused by several wind blades still dripping blood.
His face darkened as he turned downstairs: "Chief Liu, your wife came to our door to bully my sister. Today you must give the Han family an explanation!"
Yuri sneered, "An explanation? Your sister seduced a married man in public, and you expect us to explain? Han, judging by your logic, are you brain-dead?"
"puff--"
He Zhuo and Gu Wan burst out laughing, which also caused the surrounding survivors who were watching the commotion to burst into laughter.
Han Sheng's face turned ashen: "What do you think Liu Hanhai is? Flies don't land on eggs without cracks!"
Yuri nodded as if suddenly realizing something: "You're the fly, so you call the shots!"
He Zhuo and Gu Wan simultaneously gave a thumbs up: "Sister Youli, that's brilliant!"
Gu Qi: "You two have enough sharp tongues already, no need to keep them in your little notebooks!"
He Zhuo wagged his index finger: "Old Gu, there's no end to learning!"
Gu Wan: "That's right, brother, as the saying goes, you only realize your shortcomings after learning..."
Wen Qing looked completely bewildered: "You can use that phrase like that?"
......
A cold glint flashed in Han Sheng's eyes: "Since you're not benevolent, don't blame me for turning against you."
He secretly calculated: Liu Hanhai's main force was all on the outer wall, the Zhao family was destroyed, and what lay before him was nothing more than a rabble. Even with these few young men, they wouldn't amount to anything. This was the perfect opportunity to seize the base!
Liu Hanhai stood with his hands behind his back: "I'd like to see what tricks the Han family can pull."
Han Sheng suddenly raised his voice and shouted to the surrounding survivors, "Everyone saw it! Our Han family has always been non-competitive and never fought for anything at the base. Today, Base Commander Liu condoned his wife's public violence..." He waved his hand sharply, "Then don't blame us for defending ourselves!"
Yuri scoffed, "What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? You bunch of fence-sitters dare to claim you don't fight or compete?" A flame ignited at her fingertips: "Come on, let's see how you retaliate!"
Suddenly, several people rushed out from the Han family's camp and grabbed Han Sheng's arm tightly: "Old Han! You can't do that!"
"You arrived late and didn't see it with your own eyes, but those guys that Chief Liu brought were all Level 4 ability users!"
Han Sheng's face instantly turned deathly pale: "Nonsense! Those few blond-haired kids could have a Level 4 certificate?!"
"It's absolutely true, Lao Han!"
"Look at the Zhao family guards on the high wall, we didn't even know how they fell, we just saw them suddenly cover their heads and collapse..."
"The parrot on that little girl's shoulder can change size," another subordinate gestured. "And that little tree-man that can walk, its vines swishing around..."
"Yes, yes, they took all the heavy weapons in the blink of an eye! They're even more troublesome than Zhao Fan from the Zhao family."
"Yes, Mr. Han, look at the injury on your arm. We didn't even see who did it..."
Yuri impatiently flung the fireball around: "Han Sheng, what are you whispering about? If you're going to fight, then do it quickly!"
"Smack!"
A crisp slap rang out.
Han Sheng's expression suddenly changed, and he slapped Han Lin across the face: "Madam You, please forgive me! It's my Han family's fault for failing to discipline our children properly!"
He covered the wound on his arm and smiled apologetically, "This girl has been spoiled by her family and isn't quite thinking straight. I'll take her back and discipline her properly..."
Han Lin had already overheard his subordinates' discussions and knew that the Han family was not going to get away with this today. He could only cover his face with one hand and protect his charred hair with the other, crying as he rushed into the house.
Yuri pouted, and the fireball at her fingertips went out with a "poof": "How boring."
Yuri shuddered: "Fifty years old, and still calling herself a girl... How disgusting!"
Liu Hanhai patted You Li on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's go meet Zhao Fan."
The crowd completely surrounded the area.
Liu Hanhai left a few men behind to monitor the Han family's movements, while he and Lu Nange's group jumped onto the cloaked carriage.
Just as he raised the megaphone, the crowd automatically parted to make way for him.
"Base Commander! Is Zhao Ding really... dead?"
Liu Hanhai: "That's right!"
In an instant, the problems flooded in like a burst dam:
A woman wearing a veil suddenly ripped it off: "From now on... from now on, we don't have to hide from the Zhao family anymore?"
"Base Commander, can my daughter move around freely within the base now?"
A young girl with a buzz cut touched her short hair and asked, "Can I grow my hair long now?"
"Base commander, did these young people kill Zhao Ding?" The boy wearing a hat squeezed to the front of the car.
Problems kept coming.
Liu Hanhai: "Comrades, we need to get to the gate now. We'll discuss the details when we get back..."
"Base Commander, are we going to intercept Zhao Fan and his gang of bastards?" the middle-aged man who had been hunched over and weeping asked. "This old man may be old, but I can still do my part!"
"Base commander, count me in!"
"I'm a level two Metal elementalist!"
"I'm a level 2 Wood elementalist!"
The sounds rose and fell in waves...
Liu Hanhai clasped his hands in thanks: "Thank you all! I will not hesitate to offer my assistance when needed..."
On the way to the gate, everyone was crammed into a cloaked wagon, with survivors following far behind.
As they approached the gate, Zhong Song's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Base Commander! Zhao Fan and his group are all back and registering!"
Chi Yanzhou: "Hold them off! It would be best to make your move outside the base."
Liu Hanhai: "Did you hear that? Hold them off, we're on our way!"
He gripped the car railing and pounded on the driver's side door: "Drive faster!"
The engine roared and the car's speed increased dramatically.
From a distance, Zhao Fan and his men were confronting Zhong Song outside the iron fence.
"Captain Zhao, don't worry," Zhong Song deliberately drawled, "The keys will be here soon!"
Zhao Fan's face darkened: "Zhong Song, get out of the way! Don't block the way!"
Zhong Song stepped forward, firmly blocking the entrance: "Captain Zhao, why the rush? If this fence gets damaged, it'll be a hassle to repair..."
The sound of vehicles approaching grew louder as they drove closer.
Zhong Song turned around and saw that the cloaked carriage was full of figures.
"Base Commander!" His eyes lit up.
Liu Hanhai jumped off the car first, followed closely by Lu Nange and her group.
The crowd approached the fence.
Zhao Fan's sinister gaze swept over the crowd: "Base Commander Liu, what's the point of making such a big fuss?"
Yuri: "Is that even a question? Of course, we've come to recruit you!"
"Such arrogance!" A fierce glint flashed in Zhao Fan's eyes, and his spiritual power shot straight at Yuri—"Ah!"
He suddenly clutched his head and screamed in agony, his face turning deathly pale. He staggered back two steps: "Who is it?!"
Lu Nange waved her slender finger: "Look here."
"Impossible! You little brat, are you weaned yet..." Zhao Fan's sneer froze at the corner of his twisted mouth, and the last syllable suddenly changed tone.
An invisible mental pressure once again crushed down on him.
Zhao Fan's neck veins bulged and his eyes were bloodshot. The two appeared to be locked in a static standoff, but in reality, they were engaged in a fierce battle.
Chi Yanzhou's lightning and Lu Beiye's golden knife simultaneously attacked the superhuman behind Zhao Fan.
Chi Yanzhou glanced at Gu Qi and the others: "Make your move."
Gu Qi's water jet shot up in response, and electricity exploded in the water, the blinding blue light turning everyone's faces deathly pale.
Luo Xingyou approached Lu Beiye, and the two attacked the superhumans behind Zhao Fan with golden knives and darts, one after the other.
He Zhuo and Ji Xian's earth spikes burst from the ground, blocking Zhao Fan and his group's retreat...
