Chapter 374 Two Requests
Meng Ping and Deng Hong looked at each other and knew that Wan Hao must have made up his mind, so they did not hide it from him. Meng Ping said, "This mysterious group is called the Hope Group. The group leader is Bai Zhengli and the deputy group leader is Fang Jintang. One of them is a level 3 psychic and the other is probably a level 3 peak psychic. The three level 4 psychics I mentioned before, one is Bai Ye, and the other two are a pair of siblings named Fang Yuyang and Fang Yuxin. From what Bai Zhengli revealed, they plan to stay in this safe base temporarily and find a way to lure Ji Chengtian out to avoid too many casualties from a strong attack."
Wan Hao thought about it and shook his head slightly: "Given Ji Chengtian's personality, it's not easy to lure him out! Didn't you tell him?"
Meng Ping said, "I think they should have other plans. Besides, even if Ji Chengtian hides away, he can't just ignore the disappearance of so many people, right? He must send someone to investigate. As long as we catch them, he will have fewer and fewer people to use!"
Wan Hao understood immediately after hearing this. He thought about it carefully and felt that this was a good idea. After all, there were so many people in the safe base. Once a fight broke out, casualties were inevitable. But in this way, they would eat up the people sent by Ji Chengtian little by little. If this happened too many times, the people in the base would inevitably panic. At that time, even if Ji Chengtian wanted to calm everyone's panic, he would have to come out and investigate the situation himself. This was their chance!
As long as they can take down Ji Chengtian and his men at this time, it will not be difficult for them to take down Chengtian Base. Ji Chengtian is too domineering and unpopular. If he is not very strong, someone would have rebelled against him long ago.
Therefore, it is not difficult for the Hope Group to replace Ji Chengtian and become the ruler of Chengtian Base.
When Wan Hao thought of this, he felt relieved and excited. Then he suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Since you have already made a plan, what about others? Have you asked them what they are thinking?"
Meng Ping nodded: "Deng Hong and I have discussed this with the people below before, and they all hope that the regiment can replace Ji Chengtian."
Wan Hao couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. Speaking of which, Chengtian Base was built by Ji Chengtian and his team at the beginning of the apocalypse, and he put a lot of thought into it. In fact, Ji Chengtian was not like this at the beginning. At that time, he was very passionate and righteous, so everyone was willing to follow him and listen to his orders.
But for some reason, Ji Chengtian gradually changed. Not only did he become more suspicious and enjoy life, but his personality also became quite overbearing. He could not tolerate even the slightest bit of sand in his eyes. If someone disobeyed him, he would not let him off easily! It was like he had completely changed into a different person. He even smiled less. He looked unpredictable and moody all day long, which made them feel very uneasy!
Now they have to help the Hope Corps to take over Chengtian Base and seize Ji Chengtian's position. Wan Hao feels that this is quite unfair to Ji Chengtian, but on second thought, if Ji Chengtian continues to make trouble, the entire base will be in chaos!
He hesitated for a moment, and asked uneasily: "What should we do after we capture Ji Chengtian? Should we... kill him?"
Deng Hong and Meng Ping were both looking forward to it, but when they heard this, their faces changed instantly. Deng Hong opened his eyes and said uncertainly, "No... can't it be? I don't think they are cruel and ruthless..." Although he said this, he was not sure at all, so his voice became lower and lower.
Seeing that Meng Ping didn't speak, Wan Hao asked him, "Meng Ping, what do you think? Will they kill Ji Chengtian?"
Meng Ping frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "I don't know."
Deng Hong frowned tightly, "Not really? It's not like they're fighting for the throne in ancient times, there's no need to kill people, right?" Although he had some resentment towards Ji Chengtian, they had been together for such a long time, and they had come all the way from the end of the world. Although he hoped that Ji Chengtian would be replaced, he had never thought of killing Ji Chengtian! If the people in the Hope Group really wanted to kill Ji Chengtian, what would they do?
Deng Hong scratched his head, but he couldn't come up with any good ideas. He could only look to Meng Ping for help: "Aren't you usually very smart? Tell me, what should we do about this? If there are really that many of them..."
Before he could finish, Meng Ping interrupted him: "You'd better pray that they don't do this! There's no point in thinking too much about this matter. Just let's act according to circumstances when the time comes." He said this to both Deng Hong and Wan Hao.
Wan Hao knew what was going on, so he nodded and decided to take a nap and wait and see tomorrow.
The three of them fell asleep, and the night passed quickly. When they opened their eyes again, it was already daybreak. The Hope Group had prepared breakfast early. Although Deng Hong and his companions were "captives", the Hope Group did not treat them unfairly and prepared breakfast for them, including Wan Hao and others who had just arrived last night.
While eating breakfast, the group of people in Chengtian Base secretly looked at the members of the Hope Corps and secretly estimated the strength of the Hope Corps. After hastily finishing breakfast, Wan Hao took the initiative to find Bai Zhengli and told him: "I already know your plan, I am willing to support you, but I have two requests, I hope you can agree to me."
Deng Hong and Meng Ping were also there, and they were shocked when they heard this. They subconsciously thought of the conversation last night. What kind of request would Wan Hao make? Could it be that he wanted to plead for Ji Chengtian? Ask Bai Zhengli to promise not to kill Ji Chengtian? But this was only one request, what was the other request?
Deng Hong and Meng Ping were nervous and worried. They wanted to know whether Bai Zhengli would agree, but they were also worried that Wan Hao would anger Bai Zhengli and that he would have a hard time in the future.
Just when the two were worried, Bai Zhengli spoke up: "Just tell me what your conditions are. How can I agree to your request if you haven't said anything yet?"
Wan Hao nodded. Bai Zhengli's request was very reasonable, so he said, "First, I hope that after you take over Chengtian Base, you can release those captured wood-type mutants and open a hospital in the base so that the injured can receive treatment. Second, I hope that you don't kill Ji Chengtian. Although he made mistakes, his crime is not punishable by death. Give him a chance to correct his mistakes."
He looked quite calm, but in fact, he was already very nervous, fearing that Bai Zhengli would disagree or get angry. So after saying this, he kept staring at Bai Zhengli, waiting for his reaction, and so did Deng Hong and Meng Ping, who were just as worried as Wan Hao.
Bai Zhengli took in the expressions of the three of them and suddenly smiled: "For the first question, we will definitely open a hospital, but I can't guarantee that every injured person can get treatment. I can only say that I will try my best to arrange more doctors to help treat the injured. As for those captured wood-type mutants, they will naturally be released. As for your second request, I can only say that as long as he doesn't seek death himself, my people will never kill him."
Wan Hao thought about it and nodded: "That's fine! Since you have said so much, I will also put it here. I, Wan Hao, will definitely help you take over Chengtian Base!"
Hearing this, Deng Hong and Meng Ping beside them breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, and then they said in unison: "We will help too."
Bai Zhengli smiled and suddenly said, "Don't worry, I won't let you down." After he finished speaking, he subconsciously looked in the direction of Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin. Seeing that not only the two of them were together, but Bai Qianqian was also beside them, he smiled with relief. He believed that everything would be fine.
…
In Chengtian Base, Ji Chengtian was asking one of his men, "Are you saying that Wan Hao took fifty people and left the base last night, and never came back?"
The man felt the strong pressure coming from Ji Chengtian and didn't dare to look up. He could only continue to say, "Yes, Wan Hao should have wanted to take people out to find Deng Hong and Meng Ping, but he didn't come back. I'm afraid something has happened. City Lord, do you want to send someone to Ping'an Base to check? This is too weird!"
Ji Chengtian's expression changed, and he gave an order directly: "Then take your men to Ping An Base to see what they are up to!"
The man asked again: "Then...how many people do you think it would be appropriate to bring?"
Ji Chengtian thought for a moment and gave a number: "Just take a hundred people with you. Remember, you are just going to investigate the situation. Don't get too close. If you find anything, don't act rashly. Come back and report directly."
The man's face instantly turned ugly, but because he had been keeping his head down, Ji Chengtian didn't see it at all. He kept a tense face, and after a while he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I'll do it right away!" After that, he turned around and quickly left the hall.
Ji Chengtian looked at his back as he left, and gradually frowned. He knew that this man was dissatisfied with his order, but the situation was unclear, and he couldn't send too many people out, right? If they all died outside, how would the remaining people protect such a large security base?
After a while, someone suddenly walked into the hall quickly and said as soon as he came in: "City Lord, it's bad! Wan Hao's deputy Liu Yue suddenly left the base with his men, saying that he was going to rescue Wan Hao!"
Ji Chengtian's face turned ugly when he heard this: "What did you say? This Liu Yue is so bold that he took so many people away without my consent. Does he take me seriously? And you! Why didn't you stop him!"
