Chapter 372 Chilled Heart
The leader of these people was Wan Hao, a young man in his early thirties. He was a man of integrity, so he took the risk to come here after he realized something was wrong. He led his men all the way to the outside of Ping An Base, and after some observation, he found that there were no signs of fierce fighting here, so he became suspicious.
Those traces were either erased by someone or never existed. Wan Hao was not sure which one it was, but what was certain was that under normal circumstances, the people at Ping An Base would never be able to capture Deng Hong and others.
In other words, there must be something wrong here!
He realized that something was wrong and was hesitating whether to leave or ask directly about the whereabouts of Deng Hong and others. At this moment, a lantern suddenly lit up on the wall, and someone raised his voice and said, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
There were always people guarding the wall. Although it was dim at night and it was hard to see clearly, the people on the wall were standing high up and could see more clearly than the people below. In addition, the noise of the car engine was quite loud, so when the car came, the people on the wall noticed it.
They didn't say anything at first, just watched for a while without making any noise. They felt that this group of people was suspicious. After thinking carefully, they guessed the identity of these people. They must be from the Narita Base! At this time, they really couldn't think of who else would dare to come except the people from the Chengtian Base. After all, it was much more dangerous at night than during the day!
This group of people drove a car, and it was obvious that there were not many people, and it didn't seem like they were here to launch a surprise attack. So after observing for a while, the people at Ping An Base felt relieved. At the same time, they were also wondering, what on earth were these people here for? This number of people was definitely not enough to take over Ping An Base. Could it be that they came here because they were worried about Deng Hong and his men? If that was the case, this group of people was really admirable.
So after observing for a while, someone asked. Of course, the tone of the person asking the question was quite impolite. After all, Chengtian Base was too domineering, and they were all holding back their anger. These people knew that the reason they were able to escape today was because of Bai Zhengli and his men. If this group of people hadn't come, their base would have been taken over by Deng Hong and his men, and who knows how many people would have died!
Thinking of this, these people were very grateful, not only because Bai Zhengli and his team had captured Deng Hong and Meng Ping and helped them through this crisis, but also because of Fang Yuxin, a level 4 wood-type ability user! Many of them were injured, some were directly injured by shrapnel, and their injuries were quite serious. It was unclear whether they could survive. Even if they could survive, they didn't know how long they would need to recuperate.
As a result, as soon as Fang Yuxin made a move, they all recovered. Not to mention that they were alive and kicking right away, but their wounds had all healed, and all that was left was for their bodies to slowly recover. In the end, no one died!
Everyone was grateful, so even though they all knew that food was precious in the end times, they still agreed to Wu Ke selling food to the Hope Corps. Anyway, they had stored a lot of food and planted a lot in the fields, so they would never worry about food.
The man's tone was not very good when he was talking, it was all because he was angry, but when Wan Hao and others heard this, they became even more suspicious. They all thought that there should be no problem with this mission. Deng Hong and Meng Ping, with more than a thousand well-equipped people, should be able to capture this Ping An base, but who knew that no one could come back!
At that time, they were suspicious, wondering if someone in Ping An Base had advanced, or if something unexpected had happened. When they heard the man's voice with a hint of arrogance, Wan Hao and the others looked at each other and thought that there might really be some expert in Ping An Base. Otherwise, these people would not be so arrogant.
With this guess, they felt even more uneasy. But since they had been discovered, and they came here to find out the whereabouts of Deng Hong and others, they might as well ask directly. So Wan Hao spoke directly: "I am Wan Hao from Chengtian Base. I came here at this time just to ask, where are Deng Hong and the people brought by Meng Ping? Did you kill them all?" He was worried that the other party would not say it, so he played a trick and deliberately used words to provoke him.
Sure enough, the man was quickly fooled and started to curse: "You are talking nonsense! Do you think that the people in our Ping'an base are just like those in your Chengtian base, all of them are worthless?"
Wan Hao couldn't help but touch his nose with his hand. He just wanted to make sure those people were okay, but he didn't expect the other party to start scolding him directly, and the scolding was particularly harsh. He felt very bad, but fortunately he finally confirmed that Deng Hong and the others should not be dead, so the scolding was not in vain.
His subordinates were dissatisfied and complained to him: "Captain, these people are too much! Why are they so arrogant?"
Wan Hao looked at him and sighed helplessly: "It is true that we did not do a good job in this matter. Think about it, if we were in the position of Ping'an Base and someone came to attack us, would you be angry?"
The man thought about it, his face immediately turned ugly, and he whispered: "Then I will definitely fight them to the death!" He also understood that Chengtian Base was indeed going too far. If it was just sending experts to garrison in these bases, it would be fine, which would be a good thing. But Ji Chengtian wanted to annex all these small bases and make the people inside his slaves, which was too much!
Originally, he didn't agree with this matter, but unfortunately, his voice was not taken seriously, and he didn't even have the chance to make suggestions to Ji Chengtian! Not to mention himself, even Wan Hao didn't dare to make suggestions to Ji Chengtian. This man was very ambitious, but his mind was too narrow. He was ruthless when he took action, and people couldn't help but be afraid of him.
Wan Hao asked loudly: "Are they still alive? Can I see them?" He wanted to see Deng Hong and Meng Ping, not only to confirm whether these people were okay, but also to find out from them what had happened and who had captured them.
The people on the wall thought about it and felt that since Deng Hong and Meng Ping had already surrendered, and there were not many of them, it would be okay to let them enter the base. Besides, there were three level 4 psychics in their base, and they were all very powerful. Even if Ji Chengtian came in person, they would not have to be afraid, so why should they worry about these people?
However, he still cautiously contacted Wu Ke on the intercom first, and only after obtaining her consent did he open the door and let the person in.
When Wan Hao and others entered the base, the people in the base were on high alert. Although they were not worried about how much trouble they could cause, they were still quite vigilant.
Wan Hao and his men had no intention of taking action. They just looked at the people in Ping An Base, who were on high alert. It was as if they had set a trap for them to jump into. They felt a little unsure and their nerves were tense. They were also worried that the people in Ping An Base would suddenly attack.
Then, the people in the base took them directly to where Deng Hong and Meng Ping lived and let them talk on their own. At first, Wan Hao and others couldn't figure it out. They didn't know who the people in the Ping An base wanted to take them to see, because it was an ordinary house, and there was not even a guard around it. It didn't look like a place to detain people.
Before he even got close, Deng Hong and Meng Ping, who had received the news, came out to greet him and waved at him at the door, asking him to come in. Wan Hao subconsciously took a look at the two of them and found that they did not look injured. He subconsciously thought that they were pretending to be someone else or that they were controlled by someone!
He was full of doubts and at the same time very alert. He felt that the opened door was like a bottomless pit. Once he entered, he would never be able to get out again! As he hesitated, he subconsciously slowed down his pace.
Deng Hong was waiting at the door. Seeing that he was walking so slowly, he couldn't help but said, "Hey, what are you doing? Why are you walking so slowly? You're almost stepping on the ants on the ground to death!"
Wan Hao couldn't help cursing in his heart when he heard what he said - Nonsense, this is clearly a trap, can't I walk slower? Should I keep jumping in?
But when he thought about it, he suddenly felt something was wrong! Doesn't the Deng Hong in front of him look like someone pretending to be him or being controlled? The tone of his voice is still as annoying as before! Could it be that there is really a psychic master in Ping An Base who can control people so well?
Meng Ping saw his confusion and explained, "We are all fine. You will understand when you come in. Don't worry, it's not a trap."
Although Wan Hao still had some doubts in his heart, he took a deep look at Meng Ping and Deng Hong and felt that they did not seem to be lying. After hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and decided to trust them this time!
When he entered the house carefully, he found that there was no trap inside. He was slightly relieved, but he didn't dare to let down his guard completely, so he asked, "What's wrong with you two? Why don't you go back to the base? What are you doing here? This is not right. Why would the people in Ping An Base let you in? Have you captured the people in Ping An Base?"
Deng Hong had been very nervous about whether the Hope Group would stay, until Bai Zhengli hinted that they would take over Chengtian Base, and he was completely relieved. At this moment, he saw Wan Hao being cautious, and he wanted to tease him out of his bad taste. So he deliberately pretended to be deep and said mysteriously: "This matter... is a long story."
Wan Hao's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but say, "Then just make it short!" Although he said this, his eyes were looking at Meng Ping, signaling him to speak quickly.
Meng Ping glanced at Deng Hong, sighed and said, "This is what happened. When we led our men to attack Ping An Base, Wu Ke had already left the base. We didn't take it seriously at first, but when she came back, she actually brought back a convoy!"
When Wan Hao heard this, his expression gradually became serious, and he realized that the problem must be with this convoy!
