Chapter 458 Bloody Storm
Han Lingxi and Yang Bo didn't have much of a good impression of Zhao Qiankun, otherwise they wouldn't have been so determined to rebel against him and think about replacing him all day. In fact, although Zhao Qiankun had a lot of women around him, he was pretty good to them, even treating them better than his brothers.
But it was precisely because of this that many people were dissatisfied. Most of those women were good-looking but had nothing to offer. Apart from serving Zhao Qiankun, they also often threw tantrums. But just because they were Zhao Qiankun's women, they were able to enjoy all kinds of preferential treatments. There was no shortage of precious crystals, crystal cores, and all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables. How could those who worked so hard to kill zombies accept this?
Although they have one or two women around them, they can only ensure that they have enough food and clothing, but they will never spoil them like Zhao Qiankun!
Although Han Lingxi was Zhao Qiankun's woman and therefore enjoyed all kinds of preferential treatment, she could not stand Zhao Qiankun's amorous feelings! She was not one of those women in ancient times who were bound by the pedantic ideas of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, and would obediently accept the absurd idea of multiple women sharing one husband!
At first, she was not strong enough, and she could only endure it silently even if she was unwilling. But now, she is already a level 4 psychic, close to level 5, and her attack ability is not weak. Why should she swallow her anger?
Nowadays, Zhao Qiankun is becoming increasingly unpopular. A great opportunity is right before her. If she doesn’t know how to take advantage of it, she would be a fool!
Han Lingxi was a very famous singer before the end of the world. There is no need to tell you how chaotic this circle is. Han Lingxi's background is just ordinary, and her parents are not someone she can rely on at all. She has relied entirely on herself to overcome all difficulties along the way, and it is unknown how many times she has been schemed against before she reached her current position.
Such a woman is certainly not a fool who doesn't know how to seize opportunities. In fact, she is much smarter than Yang Bo! However, she cleverly hid this intelligence and did not show it too much in front of Yang Bo. Instead, she chose an appropriate degree, which not only made her look smart, but also did not make Yang Bo feel too smart, so as not to make him realize her danger.
The two of them had been planning for too long, and even took advantage of the time when Zhao Qiankun was too busy to win people's hearts. After waiting for so long, they finally got the chance to take action, and no one wanted to let it go!
So, without Zhao Qiankun knowing anything, the people around him had already started to sharpen their knives. The two's actions were not big, but not too small either. Qiu Yiming had also planted a lot of nails inside the Qiankun Mercenary Group, and soon discovered something was wrong. However, the positions of those nails were not very important. Although he noticed some of it, he couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, so he could only be secretly alert to prevent any fraud.
However, when Han Lingxi and Yang Bo were ready to make a move, Qiu Yiming did not intend to miss this opportunity. While being vigilant, he also made some arrangements, intending to fish in troubled waters.
The originally stable Bei City Base was once again shrouded in a dark cloud because of this incident, and the entire base was filled with an ominous feeling. However, Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye, who were in seclusion, were unaware of the impending turmoil in the Bei City Base.
Three months passed when the two came out of seclusion. The bloody turmoil in Bei City base had long passed. Zhao Qiankun's whereabouts were unknown, Yang Bo was dead, Han Lingxi was seriously injured, and the Qiankun Mercenary Group was also seriously damaged by Qiu Yiming's intervention. Many people joined Qiu Yiming's Thunder Mercenary Group, while the rest were recruited by Chu Li.
Chu Li was once the deputy captain of the Poison Wolf mercenary team. After the captain Poison Wolf was killed by Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin, he took the remaining people to continue working for Bai Yi. However, secretly, he had already extended an olive branch to Zhao Qiankun, and was regarded as a nail planted by Zhao Qiankun next to Bai Yi.
Chu Li can be said to have made an indispensable contribution to the fact that Bai Zhengyi and Bai Yi lost so badly.
But this man is too cold and indifferent, hiding great ambitions under his gentle and handsome face. He actually knew about Yang Bo and Han Lingxi's affairs for a long time, but never revealed a word to Zhao Qiankun. Instead, he has been hiding in the dark silently, playing the role of a loyal subordinate, waiting for the opportunity to show his fangs.
Yang Bo and Han Lingxi's attack on Zhao Qiankun played into his hands, the only regret was that Zhao Qiankun had too many strange things in his hands, and he was sure to die, but he was still able to survive and disappeared without a trace, and his life or death was unknown. If Zhao Qiankun didn't die, it would be a huge hidden danger for Chu Li.
For this reason, after taking over the Qiankun Mercenary Group, he did not even dare to change the name of the mercenary group, and could only continue to use the word "Qiankun" in a frustrated manner.
Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye were even less clear about these things. The two of them had been in seclusion for three months. Although they did not come out at the same time, the interval was not long, only one or two days. After coming out, both of them were already in the late stage of foundation building. One more step would allow them to step onto the golden elixir road and truly embark on the path of cultivating immortals.
However, it is not easy to condense the golden elixir. There are many large and small worlds in the world of cultivation, and there are countless cultivators. However, there are countless people who are stuck at the bottleneck of the late stage of foundation building, unable to take another step forward, and will never have the chance to condense the golden elixir in their lifetime. Such people just live a few more years than ordinary people, and they are not even considered to have truly embarked on the path of immortality.
The spiritual energy in the world where Fang Yuxin and his friends lived was originally thin, and it was difficult to even build a foundation, let alone form a golden elixir. If it weren't for the magical meteorite that brought a lot of energy, plus the zombie crystal core created by the zombie virus, they would never have been able to cultivate to such a level in such a short time.
Such a speed would be astonishing even in the world of cultivation where spiritual energy is extremely abundant.
However, the two also discovered that even though the spiritual energy on this planet is still quite abundant, it may be the limit for them to cultivate to the stage of forming a pill. After all, the zombie virus is rampant because the planet has been damaged too badly. Now with the rampage of zombies, the planet has long been riddled with holes and needs spiritual energy to recover. If they plunder the remaining spiritual energy on this planet for the sake of cultivation, it will probably be a disaster for this planet and the creatures on it!
By then, even heaven will not tolerate them!
Therefore, they had been hunting zombies outside before, not only to hone their strength and character, but also to accumulate some merit for themselves to compensate for the spiritual energy they absorbed.
When the two of them were in seclusion, they just randomly found a dense forest with few people, and then entered the Qingmu Spiritual Palace. Now that they have just come out of seclusion, they have no time to go to other places, so naturally they don’t know the bloody storm in the Bei City base.
Because this retreat took too much time, the two planned to go back to Hope Base after they came out. Just at this time, they received a message from Fang Yuyang, asking them to return to Hope Base as soon as possible.
Without further hesitation, the two quickly rode their contracted beasts on the road. Bai Qianqian was also practicing while they were in seclusion. Now that the two of them had come out of seclusion, he naturally followed them out of the Qingmu Spiritual Palace. It was very loving to see his small body riding on the majestic Da Huang. However, because he looked too small, if someone saw him, they would probably be jealous to death!
You know, even now, contracted beasts are still a luxury for most psychics! In order to earn crystal cores to buy contracted beasts, many psychics in Hope Base even spontaneously organized a team. This team is both a caravan and a battle team. While they transport some goods from Hope Base to other bases for sale, they are also busy hunting zombies on the way. When they come back, they will also bring specialties from other bases.
Such a team had already existed before, but at that time zombies were still rampant everywhere, and other forces except the Hope Legion’s base did not dare to go out. Even the Hope Legion’s caravans would not go out too often, and it would take a long time to prepare, which was quite cautious.
But now it is different, because of the "trial" of Fang Yuxin and others, although they cannot say that all the zombies outside the base have been killed by them, they have cleared out a lot of them. It is no longer like before, where they might encounter dense swarms of zombies not long after going out. It is relatively safer.
In addition, many people already have their own contracted beasts, and their strength is incomparable to before, so everyone feels more at ease when going out.
Maybe there were too many strong people in the base, and after seeing the methods of Fang Yuxin and his men, the others were also influenced. Unless they encountered those high-level zombies, most of the powerful psychics were no longer afraid of zombies. On the contrary, because there were fewer and fewer zombies, these people's eyes turned red when they saw zombies.
In their eyes, those seemingly ferocious zombies all turned into mobile crystal cores! As a caravan returned with a full load, the remaining people also followed suit, allowing this "traveling merchant" trend to gradually spread in the base and eventually become popular.
However, because there were too many caravans going out, the reputation of Hope Base gradually spread, and it became a popular place in the eyes of many bases. When Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye were "testing" outside, there were several groups of people who wanted to come to Hope Base to "take advantage of the situation".
Although Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye were missing, Fang Yuyang, who was stationed in the base, was not easy to bully. When he met someone arrogant, he beat him up. Then Fang Jintang, the profiteer, took action and slaughtered him. As a result, these people were the same as the Changhe base in the past. They did not get any advantage, but suffered heavy losses.
However, although many people were unwilling to accept it, they did not really lead their people to fight with the Hope Base. Although many people are now very good at killing zombies, no one wants to kill their own survivors.
Of course, the more important reason is that the Hope Base is too strong. If a fight really breaks out, it will definitely be a lose-lose situation, and I don't know how many lives will be lost!
Since the zombie virus spread, after experiencing the rampage of zombies and mutant creatures, only one in ten survivors remained. With the population extremely reduced, even though many high-ranking psychics looked down on ordinary people, they did not dare to kill them casually.
This is true for ordinary people, let alone the precious and rare people with special abilities?
Only Bai Zhengyi and Zhao Qiankun dared to be so "generous"! Fortunately, there are not many such people, and most of the base leaders are still rational.
Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye took Bai Qianqian and rode their contracted beasts all the way back to Hope Base in less than a day. As soon as they returned to Hope Base, they knew the reason why Fang Yuyang hurriedly called them back - Fang Yuyang was also going to retreat.
Like the other two, he had already touched the threshold of the late stage of foundation building. However, since the two of them had been out of contact, he was worried that the base would be in danger after his retreat, so he suppressed his fear and did not dare to retreat.
When Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye came back this time, Fang Yuyang saw that their strength had improved to a higher level. He felt relieved and directly said to Fang Yuxin: "Xinxin, I want to go to Qingmu Lingfu for retreat."
Retreat is extremely important for cultivators, especially this kind of retreat for advancement, which cannot be disturbed at all. Although the Hope Base is safe, it is far inferior to the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion. So even if Fang Yuyang didn't mention it, Fang Yuxin would let him retreat in the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion.
There were a large number of purified crystal cores she had accumulated in the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion, and with the spirit gathering array, it was perfect for cultivation and advancement. Fang Yuyang's situation could no longer be delayed, so as soon as the two came back, he went to Fang Yuxin's Qingmu Spiritual Mansion to practice in seclusion.
Bai Zhengli told the public that Fang Yuyang had gone out for training, and no one in the base suspected it. Anyway, they had long been accustomed to these masters' unconventional behavior and their elusiveness, so there was really nothing to be surprised about. Besides, although Fang Yuyang was gone, Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye were back. With them around, why would the people in the base need to worry about other bases daring to cause trouble?
They still haven’t forgotten what happened the last time people from Changhe Base came!
Fang Yuxin thought she could take a vacation when she returned to Hope Base, but she didn't expect that not long after she came back, Mr. Qian came to her house with Li Qingyun.
When Fang Yuxin saw the two, he was really surprised and asked, "What happened to you two? How long have you not rested?"
It's no wonder she asked this question. Qian Sen and Li Qingyun looked so haggard! Both of them had dark circles under their eyes and looked haggard. They probably just washed and changed their clothes when they came. Fang Yuxin felt bad watching them like this. One of them was old and an ordinary person, and the other was her good friend. She couldn't bear to see them so tired.
Qian Sen didn't answer, but stared at her and said, "Xin girl, you must help me this time!"
I was not feeling well yesterday and did not finish writing today's draft, so I updated late today, sorry. In addition, I will update on time at 12 noon tomorrow.
