Chapter 448 Arrogance
The people in the car originally thought that the Hope Base had no strong people guarding it and it was developing so well, so they were greedy and wanted to come over to take advantage of it. But before they arrived at the Hope Base, they met Bai Ye, a tough guy!
Seeing Bai Ye take out his weapon, the people in the car knew he was serious and didn't dare to act arrogantly anymore. Two people got out of the leading car. One of the middle-aged men raised his hand to signal Bai Ye not to be nervous. He smiled kindly and said, "Don't get me wrong, brother. We are psychics from Changhe Base. We heard that the situation at the Hope Base is good, so we came to see if we can establish cooperation."
He looked honest and kind, and it was easy for people to have a good impression of him. But whether it was Bai Ye or other people in the Hope Base, they were all looking at the people in the Changhe Base warily at this time, with no sign of relaxing their vigilance.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man sighed inwardly, knowing that he really couldn't take advantage of the Hope Base this time. The people on the opposite side were obviously not the kind of idiots who only had strength but no brains!
Looking at Bai Ye, he was a little discouraged, but since he was here, he was unwilling to leave in such a disgrace! He exchanged glances with his companion calmly, and when he saw his companion nodded slightly, he knew that the other party was also unwilling to leave like this, so he spoke again: "I don't know what this brother's name is? We are really here to seek cooperation. If possible, can you take us to the Hope Base?"
Bai Ye saw all the little actions of the two people just now. He knew that these people came from afar for no reason other than "seeking cooperation", but since the other party did not take the initiative to attack, he could not take action directly.
So he thought for a moment and asked, "How many people are here?"
When the two people from Changhe Base heard this, they immediately understood that the stern man in front of them must have some idea. They had a guess in their minds and felt a little uneasy. The middle-aged man pretended to know nothing and said with a smile: "Not many people came, just a few hundred."
Bai Ye heard this and looked at the two people with a cold look. He had just checked with his spiritual sense and found that there were a total of 1,000 people in the convoy! The weakest ones were all level 2 psychics! Obviously, they were not here with good intentions!
That would be fine, but the other party refused to give an exact number, obviously trying to fool him! If he didn't have spiritual awareness, he might have been fooled by these people! If so many people entered the Hope Base together and suddenly attacked, it would definitely cause a lot of chaos!
He saw that the two were not honest, so he snorted coldly and deliberately said: "It seems that your math and memory are not very good. There are clearly a thousand people, but you think there are hundreds of them."
These words were full of strong sarcasm, and the two people from Changhe Base looked unhappy when they heard them. They knew that Bai Ye was a gold-type supernatural person, and they thought that since he was in the carriage, he would not know the exact number, so they deliberately gave a vague number to fool around.
But, this guy actually knew! How did he know? Is there a spy in their team? No! This is impossible! Then... could this extremely handsome man in front of him be a dual-system psychic?
Thinking of this possibility, the two people's faces became even uglier. The two of them looked average, not ugly, but just like passers-by. The one who hadn't spoken could barely be considered handsome, while the middle-aged man looked honest and kind, especially when he smiled, which made people let down their guard.
These are their advantages, but when it comes to looks, they are completely incomparable to Bai Ye. Bai Ye's looks were already quite outstanding, and after practicing Taoism, his body was nourished by spiritual energy, and his appearance and temperament became even more outstanding, with a kind of handsome and extraordinary feeling. Not to mention that ordinary people can't compare to him, even those male stars who were once very popular and whose posters were all over the streets can't compare to him!
If it was just the looks, the two would not take it seriously. After all, in the end times, strength is respected, and whoever is stronger has the final say. Without strength, it is useless no matter how good-looking you are. You will either die under the claws of zombies and mutants, or become a vassal of someone.
But Bai Ye's appearance and temperament were not only far better than theirs, his strength was even above theirs. It was simply a case of comparing oneself to others making one feel dreadful, and the two of them were extremely depressed!
But that's not all! He might actually be a dual-powered person! Is he going to let people live?
The two smiled awkwardly, their faces almost stiffened, and they wanted to punch Bai Ye in the face. Unfortunately, Bai Ye in front of them was obviously very strong. If they wanted to enter the Hope Base and return to the Changhe Base alive, they could not offend Bai Ye.
The middle-aged man said awkwardly: "Oh! It turned out to be one thousand. It seems that I remembered it wrong. Once a person gets older, his memory is prone to problems." After saying that, he looked at Bai Ye with a fake smile on his face, feeling very embarrassed.
Bai Ye looked at the two of them with a serious look, and then said, "Only fifty people can enter the base, and the rest cannot enter the 500-meter range of the Hope Base. If you have no objection, I will take you there now."
The two of them listened to the harsh conditions proposed by Bai Ye, and their eyes widened immediately! This request is too much, right? How could they not object? What if fifty people go in? And what if something goes wrong? Also, do the remaining 950 people have to stay outside the base all the time? Not to mention that the weather is so cold that it can freeze people to death, what if they attract a group of zombies or mutant beasts? Wouldn't they become sitting ducks?
The two of them also understood each other's concerns, but they really couldn't accept such conditions! The superpowers who came this time were all carefully selected experts with good strength. If most of them were injured, how could they have the face to return to Changhe Base?
The man who had been silent could not help but speak: "No! Fifty people are too few, and it is not safe for the remaining people to stay outside the base!"
After he finished speaking, the middle-aged man nodded hurriedly and said to Bai Ye: "Brother, you see, a thousand people is not a lot. The Hope Base is so big, it's impossible that it can't even accommodate so few people, right?"
Bai Ye looked at them coldly, with no intention of compromising: "Either fifty people go in, or no one goes in. Anyway, it's almost the New Year now, and you should go back. Otherwise, it would be a pity if you are delayed on the road and miss the time."
This is a strong warning!
The two people at the Changhe base were immediately furious, thinking that Bai Ye was too arrogant! However, when they thought of Bai Ye's level 5 strength, their anger immediately subsided. They only silently hoped that they could also advance to level 5 as soon as possible, and then they would definitely be more arrogant than Bai Ye!
Bai Ye ignored their thoughts and said coldly, "Since you don't want to, please go back." In fact, cooperation between bases can promote each other. But these people are obviously not good, and the New Year is coming soon. Bai Ye doesn't want to cause trouble for the Hope Base, lest they can't even celebrate the New Year!
The two looked at each other, and then the middle-aged man sighed and said, "This is not something we can decide. We have to go back and discuss it with others."
Bai Ye did not refuse his request, but only said: "You have half an hour."
When he finished speaking, he deliberately glanced at the sword in his hand. That look made the two people in Changhe Base's hearts jump at the same time. They secretly guessed what he meant. Did he want to take action in half an hour?
The middle-aged man asked tentatively: "Brother, what do you mean..."
Before he could finish, Bai Ye gave him a cold look, which succeeded in making him swallow the rest of his words. Seeing Bai Ye's attitude, he didn't need to ask any more questions.
After confirming their guess, the two people in Changhe Base were even more annoyed, and at the same time, they cursed the person in charge of gathering intelligence in their hearts - trash! It's just a bunch of trash! Who said that there are only three level 4 superpowers in the Hope Base? The person in front of them is dead!
Bai Ye only gave them half an hour, and these people did not dare to delay and hurried back to discuss with others. After they left, the other people in the Hope Base gathered around Bai Ye and looked at him with admiration. Then someone asked worriedly: "Captain Bai, these people may have bad intentions. Will they agree to your request?"
After these words were spoken, everyone else looked at Bai Ye worriedly.
Bai Ye's expression remained unchanged, he just said calmly: "If you don't agree, then do it. These people are here with bad intentions, don't be polite to them."
The others immediately admired him and thought that he was indeed worthy of being Captain Bai, he was really courageous!
Half an hour passed quickly, and during this time, no zombies or mutants came to cause trouble. When the time was up, more than a dozen people came out of the convoy of the Changhe Base.
These people were all level three to level four psychics, and the strongest among them was the level four peak gold psychic. This person was the leader of the Changhe Base, and he had been stuck at a bottleneck for a while, and had not been able to find an opportunity to break through. So after hearing about the situation at the Hope Base, he decided to come out and take a look himself, maybe he could be promoted with some luck.
But he had a smooth journey, and as he was about to reach the Hope Base, he gradually became a little proud. But before he even reached the base, he met a strong enemy like Bai Ye! What's more, Bai Ye was a level 5 gold-type supernaturalist, who just suppressed him. What a bad fate! It was so frustrating!
This man regretted coming here ever since he discovered Bai Ye's strength, but he had come here with such fanfare and had consumed a lot of energy along the way. He would be unwilling to leave if he didn't see the Hope Base with his own eyes!
The rest of the people were weaker than him, but they all thought the same as him. They came to the base to take advantage of the situation, but it would be useless if they returned without getting any benefits!
After half an hour of heated discussion, all of them reached a consensus - they wanted to go to the base, take advantage of it, and change the conditions! Even if the hope was slim, they could not give up any possibility of taking advantage!
When these people came out, Bai Ye no longer cared about the two people before, but looked at the strongest gold-type ability user and asked coldly: "Have you decided?"
After all, this driver, who was a top-level gold-type supernaturalist, was also an expert. In order to avoid being suppressed by Bai Ye and appearing incompetent, he acted like an expert and said indifferently, "I am Wang Quan, and you are?" His name was very special, and with his outstanding strength, he was very famous in Changhe Base and the surrounding bases. However, no one in Hope Base had ever heard of him.
So when this name came out, he found that Bai Ye and the people behind him had no reaction at all. Wang Quan thought about how popular he was in the base, and then looked at these people in front of him who had no reaction, and suddenly felt a little depressed.
A bunch of ignorant bumpkins! That's all! He won't bother with these bumpkins!
Wang Quan took a deep breath of cold air and looked straight at Bai Ye, waiting for his answer. He wanted to know the name of this young man who was even stronger than himself.
Bai Ye did not disappoint him this time. After all, Wang Quan had already given his name, so he had to express his opinion. Bai Ye just said two words: "Bai Ye."
Wang Quan was stunned for a moment before he realized that this was Bai Ye's name. He continued to act like a master: "Well, you are quite capable. You have achieved such success at such a young age. You have a bright future." When he said this, seeing that Bai Ye was getting impatient, he changed the subject and talked about business, "I agree to leave some people outside, but it is impossible to have only 50 people go in. At least half of the people must go in."
He deliberately quoted a relatively high number, thinking that even if Bai Ye bargained, the final result should be acceptable to him. However, Bai Ye just looked at him coldly, then stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, and said unceremoniously: "In that case, you can go back."
Wang Quan was overwhelmed. This, this, this development was not right! Shouldn't they have started a fierce bargaining over how many people were allowed in? Why did they just drive them away? Wasn't this person worried about how much loss this would bring to the Hope Base?
How dare he be so arrogant!
However, before he could speak, Bai Ye suddenly said, "Why don't you leave?"
With Wang Quan around, no one dared to express their opinions, and they all looked at Wang Quan. Wang Quan was very angry with Bai Ye, and he narrowed his eyes and looked at Bai Ye dangerously. Normally, whenever he did this, those who were looked at by him would be scared!
Unfortunately, he forgot that the people he met in the past were weaker than him, so they naturally did not dare to offend him. But Bai Ye was different, his strength was even better than Wang Quan, so no matter how angry Wang Quan was, Bai Ye could ignore him.
He is confident that he can deal with the kingship!
Wang Quan looked at Bai Ye for a long time. Seeing that Bai Ye had no intention of compromising, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Fifty is fifty!"
No! This is too aggrieved! He must go to Hope Base to get back at his wits' end!
