Hearing footsteps coming down, Cang Jue was initially alert, but upon closer listening, he realized the footsteps belonged to Cang Yu and a woman, so he relaxed and continued fiddling with the iron chain lock.
"Boss, come quick and take a look, I can't open any of these locks."
Cang Jue dealt with the guards before discovering that they didn't have the key to the chain. Under interrogation, he learned that the key was with Cen Shen.
He's a cunning old fox from beginning to end.
"Boss..."
"Boss..."
...
Those chained up on the first floor all called out to Cang Yu, their eyes filled with disbelief. They really hadn't expected Cang Yu to come and save them, and even if Cang Jue had come, they still wouldn't have believed it.
It wasn't that they didn't trust Cang Yu, but based on the actual situation, Cang Yu wouldn't come, nor could he come. But now that he had come, they were... deeply moved, feeling that they hadn't followed the wrong person.
These people are the research team organized by Cang Yu and his team. They are all-round talents who can conduct research in any field, and there are a total of 27 people.
It was also because of their special nature that Cen Shen kept them around even though they were unwilling to submit to him.
Cang Yu knew they were imprisoned, but he didn't know they were all chained up. Because Cen Shen hadn't trusted him, he wasn't free in the base; even when he got to the first floor, he wasn't allowed to come in and see them.
Now, seeing them chained up like dogs, I feel that letting Cen Shen die so "dignified" is really too good for him.
Cang Yu didn't say anything, but silently stepped forward to try to unlock it. After trying several times, he found that he couldn't open the lock either.
As for the key, no one knows where Cen Shen put it; I couldn't find it when I checked his body.
These locks are all fastened to their feet, very close to them. If a cutting machine is used, it will inevitably injure their legs.
"Do you need me to come?" Lin Yue asked from behind.
Originally, Cang Yu didn't want to trouble Lin Yue; she was already exhausted enough today. But now, this lock...
Remembering Lin Yue's lock-picking skills, I had no choice but to ask her for help.
"Yes, it is necessary." One should be humble and not suffer for the sake of saving face.
"I want two-tenths of the grain from the Azure Dragon Base. Also, if there are any valuable items like antiques, jewelry, or ornaments, give them to me as well," Lin Yue asked his brother to be clear about the accounts.
She was provided with food and drink before because she needed to learn from Cang Yu, and she couldn't just take advantage of him for nothing. Now that this favor is extra, the compensation must be substantial.
“Okay,” Cang Yu readily agreed.
Lin Yue smiled, reached into her "bag," took out her lock-picking tools, walked to the side, and knew how to open it after just one glance.
She fiddled with it for a few seconds, and the chains on the first person's feet were unlocked.
Cang Jue, whose face was usually expressionless, was somewhat shocked.
He and the boss were considered skilled at lock picking; locks that even they couldn't open were like child's play to Lin Yue. He could be considered the ancestor of lock picking.
Lin Yue didn't need long to unlock the locks for more than twenty people. After she finished, she stood aside and listened to them reminiscing.
Of course, this "old" is mainly narrated by Cang Jue, while Cang Yu mostly just listens.
Half an hour later, Cang Jun also came down.
The third and fourth brothers above were easy to deal with. Because of the base's high-pressure policies, many people were already dissatisfied, so quite a few were instigated by Cang Yu and his group.
After Cang Jun led his men out, the third and fourth brothers were trapped in the warehouse on the left side of the hotel, using a few bed boards as cover.
With grenades, Cang Jun blew up the third and fourth brothers without much effort.
The base commanders of the Azure Dragon Base are all the same in that they are afraid of death. They all like to hide in the middle of the crowd, hoping that the people on the outside will protect them.
Therefore, after Cang Jun threw the grenade into the middle of the crowd, neither of them could run away and were directly hit by the explosion.
With the leaders all dead, the men below had no will to fight and were easily dealt with.
They had been planning for over a month, considering all sorts of scenarios, but they never expected to win so easily.
Cang Jun looked at Lin Yue with shining eyes again.
My sister-in-law is really amazing, even more powerful than the eldest brother.
Lin Yue was completely baffled by the stares.
This Cang Jun must have some kind of problem, otherwise why would he always look at her like that?
Regardless of Cang Jun's thoughts, once the matter was resolved, they all removed their hoods and began searching the Qinglong Base for supplies, turning the entire base upside down.
Finally, Cang Yu gave Lin Yue two-tenths of the grain as promised, and it was all good grain. There weren't many antiques, jewelry, or ornaments, since the robbery was mostly against the poor, so there weren't many.
Lin Yue didn't mind. She emptied her backpack and then asked Cang Yu to put her jewelry, ornaments, antiques, and grains inside. After the Qinglong Base incident was completely resolved, Cang Yu and Lin Yue would transport them back together and then store them in her space.
Well, we'll hunt some wild boars in the next few days, and bring them back with Lin Yue. We need to make sure the wolves and snow wolves have enough to eat, so let's hunt thirty or forty of them to start with.
After returning to the base, he went out to make arrangements again.
Although he really wanted to give all the supplies from the Azure Dragon Base to Lin Yue, he was no longer alone and needed to consider the food and drink needs of his subordinates.
The Azure Dragon Base now has more than 300 people left, more than 100 of whom are Cang Yu's subordinates, and the rest are ordinary people.
When asked about their wishes, some of these ordinary people wanted to live in the national base, while others were willing to follow Cang Yu and his group.
Apart from those who wanted to live at the national base, Cang Yu didn't plan to take anyone else there. They were temporarily settled at the Azure Dragon Base, and other options would be considered after the extreme cold passed.
Taking advantage of the extreme cold, he wanted to help them stockpile more food. Several remote areas in H City and W City had large food reserves, and what he wanted to do was to turn all that food into theirs.
Five days later, everything at the Azure Dragon Base was arranged. Cang Jun and Cang Jue stayed behind and led people to move all the things down the mountain. Then, Cang Yu and Lin Yue each drove a truck back to the national base.
One car carried people, and the other carried Lin Yue's belongings. Hmm, there was also food that Cang Yu had prepared for himself, ostensibly because the pressure of life shouldn't be placed on Lin Yue alone.
Lin Yue remained noncommittal. If he wanted to prepare it himself, then he could prepare it. A man can't live off a woman, can he?
Although he had prepared enough food for himself before, those supplies, along with the weapons, were later given to her, so they all belonged to her. Therefore, there was no problem in preparing more.
At this point, the original Azure Dragon Base has been completely destroyed, and the current Azure Dragon Base is entirely new.
After returning to the base, the two handed over the people they had brought. Cang Yu then immediately went to the Qinglong base, picked up a truckload of weapons, and made a deal with the base.
This shipment of weapons has significantly enhanced the overall strength of the Yuquan base, and the weapons are said to be of great research value.
It's unclear how Cang Yu negotiated with the base, but in the end, he got a position in the base's army as a military advisor. He didn't have to go to work every day; he only needed to show up when there was something to deal with.
Lin Yue simply nodded after hearing this, without asking him anything further.
