Chapter 375 Uneasiness
Ji Chengtian was very upset. He had asked Gu Yong to take only 100 people to investigate the situation because he didn't want to lose too many people when the situation was unclear. After all, the 1,000 people led by Deng Hong and Meng Ping were still missing and their lives were unknown. The same was true for the 50 people Wan Hao and he took out! These people were all good fighters, but now they were all in trouble. How could he not be worried?
Who would have thought that Liu Yue would be so impulsive and directly take out the thousand men under his command! Did he ever think about the consequences of doing so?
The person who reported was scolded by Ji Chengtian, and he felt bad, so he asked: "What should we do now? Should we chase him?"
Ji Chengtian hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Let's follow them from a distance to see what's going on. The situation is unclear right now, so don't follow too closely."
The person reporting said, "Then I'll arrange it right away! But...how many people do you think we should take with us?"
Ji Chengtian did not hesitate this time and reported the number directly: "Take three thousand elite soldiers and set off with us! If we really encounter any situation, we can provide timely support."
When the person reporting heard this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, thinking of what Gu Yong said before that Ji Chengtian only asked him to take a hundred people out to investigate - Ji Chengtian really only cares about himself!
But he didn't say anything. He nodded after receiving the order and turned to make arrangements. Three thousand people is not a small number. They have to arrange for the travel vehicles and refuel.
Ten minutes later, everything was ready, and Ji Chengtian got in his exclusive car and prepared to set off. It was a modified off-road vehicle, with the latest high-strength bulletproof glass for the windows and bulletproof wheels. The body of the vehicle was reinforced by a gold-type superpower, and its performance was quite good.
In addition, there were 20 large trucks. Ji Chengtian's car was in the middle, and these 20 large trucks gathered around him, protecting him firmly, which could be said to be quite safe.
In front of them were the troops led by Liu Yue and Gu Yong. What Ji Chengtian didn't know was that Liu Yue impulsively took people out to rescue Wan Hao, all because of Gu Yong's instigation! Gu Yong was dissatisfied that Ji Chengtian only let him take 100 people out to investigate, thinking that the trip was too dangerous, but he didn't dare to openly disobey Ji Chengtian's orders, otherwise even if he came back alive, Ji Chengtian would definitely not forgive him!
So he deliberately instigated Liu Yue. It happened that Liu Yue himself was an impatient person and was very loyal to Wan Hao, so after his provocation, Liu Yue really fell into the trap and rushed out with all his men, saying that they were going to Ping'an Base to rescue Wan Hao!
Wan Hao was in charge of about a thousand people. When he went out before, it was already dark and the situation was unclear, so he didn't dare to take too many people with him. He only took fifty good fighters and left the base. This time, Liu Yue took all the remaining people away, except for a few who were injured and unable to move.
As soon as he led his men away, Gu Yong followed them with his men. With Liu Yue leading the way, Gu Yong felt relieved. He had the same idea as Ji Chengtian, letting Liu Yue lead the way while he followed from a distance, so that he could see the situation clearly and escape in time if something went wrong.
So, the three teams came towards Ping'an Base one after another with great momentum.
…
At the Ping An Base, Bai Zhengli specifically asked Deng Hong, Meng Ping and Wan Hao, who knew more about the situation at the Chengtian Base and could give a lot of advice. Bai Zhengli asked them, "You all haven't gone back yet, so there must be people at the Chengtian Base who are worried and think that something is wrong at the Ping An Base. How many people do you think will come to the Ping An Base to investigate?"
The three of them looked at each other, and finally Meng Ping spoke up: "For such a big thing, someone will definitely notify Ji Chengtian and ask for his opinion. Given Ji Chengtian's personality, he should only send a small number of people out to investigate."
Bai Zhengli glanced at Deng Hong and Wan Hao, and seeing that they nodded, he said, "In that case, there shouldn't be many people coming this time?"
"That should be the case," Meng Ping nodded affirmatively, and then continued, "However, I suggest that you make preparations to avoid being caught off guard."
Bai Zhengli smiled slightly when he heard this and looked at Meng Ping with appreciation: "That's what I meant."
So, Bai Zhengli asked people to prepare. Their plan was still the same as yesterday, to use force to deter others, there was no need to fight with real swords and guns, which would only cause a large number of casualties. So this important task was handed over to Bai Ye, Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang.
Since the people who came were from Chengtian Base, Deng Hong, Meng Ping, Wan Hao and others also had to help, mainly responsible for mediation. Everyone stood on the protective wall. The protective wall here had been renovated many times and its shape was similar to the ancient Great Wall. The wall was quite thick and there were passages on the top of the wall for people to walk and stand. The only difference was that this protective wall was not as complicated as the ancient Great Wall. The wall surface was a simple plane without crenels.
Not long after they were ready, Liu Yue arrived with his men. At first everyone thought that there would not be many people coming, but at first glance, they saw that it was a long convoy. Everyone was startled at first, then quickly came to their senses, and looked at the approaching convoy with vigilance.
The convoy was moving very fast. It was unclear whether the drivers were in a hurry or just used to driving fast. Then, everyone saw that the convoy stopped outside the trap. Then, the car in the front suddenly opened its window, a loudspeaker rang out, and the person inside said, "People from Ping'an Base, listen up! You'd better hand over our people from Chengtian Base. If you can't, don't blame us for being rude to you!"
On the wall, Meng Ping and Deng Hong subconsciously turned their heads to look at Wan Hao, because they could tell that the person who spoke was Wan Hao's deputy Liu Yue. Although the voice had changed after passing through the loudspeaker, they were both familiar with Liu Yue, so they could tell it right away. Since they both heard it, there was no reason for Wan Hao not to hear it.
He was shocked. He never thought that the person who came was Liu Yue. The windows of these trucks were specially treated. People inside could see outside without being affected, but people outside could not see clearly what was going on inside the truck. So at first, the three of them didn't know who the person was until Liu Yue started shouting.
At the same time, Liu Yue was also surprised. He saw a lot of people standing on the wall at a glance, but he was busy giving warnings and didn't have time to take a closer look. As a result, just as he finished speaking, he saw three of them who looked familiar.
The three looked fine, so he wasn't sure if it was really them. Just when he was a little unsure, he heard the driver say, "Deputy Captain, look! Captain Wan, Captain Deng, and Deputy Captain Meng are all here! They are all fine!"
Although Liu Yue acted impulsively, he was not stupid. He turned around and asked the driver, "Then tell me, since they are all fine, why didn't you send someone back to tell them? Why are you staying in this shabby place?"
When he asked this question, the driver became confused and realized that something was indeed wrong.
On the wall, Deng Hongzheng said to Wan Hao: "Since he is your man, you should just persuade him. Liu Yue is even more impulsive than me, so don't let him do anything!"
Wan Hao nodded and gestured for someone to open the door. At the same time, he shouted to Liu Yue below: "Come in, everyone. It's safe inside!"
Although Liu Yue was suspicious, he stared at Wan Hao for a long time. Seeing that he did not seem to be controlled by someone, he asked the driver beside him: "Do you think the captain looks like he is being controlled by someone?"
The driver was also watching, and shook his head when he heard this: "No! The three of them look normal! But why are there so many people standing on the wall? This is a bit suspicious."
Liu Yue thought about it and felt that this was the case, but after hesitating for a moment, he still said, "Let's go in. The captain is not trying to harm us."
At that moment, the gate of Ping An Base had already opened. At the same time, Wan Hao had already brought people to greet them at the gate. Liu Yue ordered: "Listen to the people behind! Everyone enter the base!"
As soon as they entered, someone on the wall noticed something was wrong. Fang Yuxin was the first to notice that something was wrong. She found that there was a truck following them, but it was very smart and hid in the woods beside the road. Then, the cover of the woods made it difficult to find.
So she pointed and said, "There is a truck hidden over there. It must have followed the people just now. They have already discovered the situation here."
Her voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly, as if it was ringing in their ears. Originally, many people were in awe of her after discovering that she was a fourth-level wood-type mutant. Now, after hearing these words, they were even more horrified and felt that Fang Yuxin was unfathomable.
Meng Ping picked up the telescope beside him and looked around. Because he knew the direction, he easily found the truck Fang Yuxin mentioned this time. It was a pity that the windows were treated so he couldn't see who was in the car.
Deng Hong said, "No need to look at it, just ask Liu Yue directly, he should know."
Meng Ping thought about it and felt that this was quite right, but he wanted to know what the people in the car would do next. They should have seen the situation here, so would they come directly over? Or turn back?
At this time, Gu Yong was also struggling with the same problem. He did see the situation ahead through the telescope, but because of the obstruction of the trees, he could not see clearly. He saw Liu Yue's convoy seemed to enter the Ping An base, but he did not know why they went in.
He felt uneasy and curious. Why did Liu Yue enter Ping An Base obediently? What was in this base?
