Chi Yanzhou: "Thank you for sharing this intelligence with us, Commander Si. However—cooperation is still unnecessary."
Our styles of doing things and the basis of our trust are different, and forcing a connection would not benefit either of us.
If your Starburst faction also wants to eradicate this cancerous growth, Rock, you can find your own opportunity to act. We'll each rely on our own abilities and won't interfere with each other.
He Zhuo immediately nodded vigorously: "That's right! Who knows if you want to use us to kill someone, or if you have other schemes behind your back?"
We don't want to be fighting tooth and nail on the front lines while constantly having to guard against someone stabbing us in the back!
These words pierced the last vestige of superficial peace.
The already unpleasant expressions of the Starburst Ability Users behind Si Sheng instantly turned extremely ugly. They had been holding back for so long, but now they could no longer contain themselves and began to complain in low voices, their voices filled with resentment.
"Base Commander! Their Flameheart team is so ungrateful!"
"Exactly! We've been ungrateful for our kindness!"
"Why should we put up with their mistreatment here? What do we care if they live or die?"
"Let's go back, Commander! Let's ignore them!"
"They're not worth fighting for!"
Si Sheng abruptly turned his head, his previously calm demeanor suddenly turning ruthless, and his gaze swept over his noisy subordinates behind him: "Shut up!"
Instantly, all the discontent fell silent. The Starlight team members were trembling with fear, clearly deeply intimidated by their base leader's authority.
Lu Nange: "The base commander also saw it. If the hearts are not united, the strength will surely be scattered."
This won't get anything done! Thank you for the information and your kindness... Now, please make way.
Si Sheng's eyes were filled with complex emotions. Finally, he turned to the side and ordered his men at his base in a deep voice, "Get out of the way!"
Although the Starburst's ability users were unwilling, their faces filled with resentment and anger, under Si Sheng's imposing presence, they still obediently retreated to both sides...
Jin Xiao watched as Lu Nange and her group passed by them indifferently. He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't resist and moved closer to Si Sheng.
"Ah Sheng, is this how we're going to be..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Shuang glared at him fiercely and said, "Jin Xiao, shut up!"
Jin Xiao turned to look at Lin Shuang, his eyes filled with a hint of bewilderment at being scolded: "Shuang, I..."
Standing on Lin Shuang's other side, Pepper muttered a finishing blow under his breath, his tone full of regret.
"Brother Jin Xiao, if it weren't for your constant, reckless rambling and making the atmosphere so tense, we might have been able to talk things out and join our idols! What a great opportunity..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Shuang became furious and stomped on Jin Xiao's foot in anger!
"Ouch—!" Caught off guard, Jin Xiao cried out in pain, instinctively pulling back the foot that had been stepped on, and hopping on one leg twice in place.
"Ah Shuang...why did you step on me again..."
Lin Shuang...
Meanwhile, everything was in perfect order at Flameheart's side.
Chi Yanzhou nodded slightly to Lu Nange, who understood and led Lu Beiye and the Flame Heart team members ahead along the path cleared by the starlight.
Chi Yanzhou, Lu Xici, and Gu Qi stayed at the back of the group.
Only after Lu Nange's advance team disappeared around the corner of the street and completely out of Xingmang's sight did Chi Yanzhou and the other two turn around and follow.
Once they rejoined the team ahead, Lu Nange and Shi Xu, relying on their spiritual perception, led the group swiftly through the ruins and dilapidated streets.
