Chapter 431: Estimation Error
Zhuang Mingxu was holding a child and blocking with one hand, but he was still hit hard and fell to the ground.
"Dad!" Taotao screamed in surprise and immediately wanted to take action, but was held down by Zhuang Mingxu.
Some people wanted to take action, but Du Ping stopped them. "Okay, Yu Le, only if we keep him alive can we threaten others. What can we gain if you kill him?"
"Okay, tell me, where is the instrument for purifying the crystal core?" The man called Yu Le looked very old, with messy hair that had not been washed for who knows how long. He looked like a beggar on the street.
Zhuang Mingxu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and ignored him completely.
Yu Le raised his foot to kick, but was blocked by Du Ping again. This time he directly suppressed him with his supernatural power. Even though there was a difference in level, the man still struggled hard and even wanted to attack Du Ping.
"Okay, okay, let's take control of the entire base first. When the time comes, you can get whatever you want. The purified crystal cores will be at your disposal." Li Feng patted Yu Le's shoulder and persuaded him, then led his men hurriedly to the North Island.
The ice on the sea surface has completely melted, and the bridge connecting West Island to other islands has also been cut off. When passing by, you can see that many base troops on the opposite shore are trying to recover, but the psychics have been transferred to other places, and ordinary people's physical fitness is limited at this time, and the recovery speed is extremely slow.
Someone saw the situation here and immediately fired shots. A man near the shore was shot in the brain and fell to the ground.
A dozen people were in chaos for a moment, then pushed Zhuang Mingxu over and put a knife across his neck.
"Mingxu--" Lin Yimu's voice was particularly loud in the middle of the night, and could be heard clearly even from a distance of a hundred meters.
"Don't worry about me, take good care of the children," Zhuang Mingxu said, and then he staggered after being kicked. He stepped back and protected a dozen people to the North Island.
When the group arrived at the North Island, the voice of the radio loudspeaker immediately sounded, "I am Li Dongsheng, the only member of the team, and I am the person in charge of the planting and reproduction garden. Now there is a traitor in the base. Ordinary people are not allowed to leave their residences, otherwise they will be treated as accomplices."
"I am Li Dongsheng from the only team, the person in charge of the planting and breeding garden. Now there is a traitor in the base. Ordinary people are not allowed to leave their residences, otherwise they will be treated as accomplices."
…
It was like the repeat button was pressed and the sound kept replaying.
"Captain Li..." Someone looked at Li Feng in panic.
Li Feng spat and said, “What are you afraid of? We are only notifying ordinary people. Without them, our actions will not be affected.”
"Ordinary people do the same things wherever they go. They don't care who the top leaders are. They just live their own lives. People with special abilities are the key."
By the time the group arrived at the government gate, quite a few people had already gathered in the square.
Of the psychics in the base, Lu Weiyi took away more than 10,000 of them along with the logistics support. Some of them were assigned by Xu Chu to suppress the zombies that appeared on the ordinary people's side. The rest gathered in the square in small teams. Many of them didn't know what was going on and were talking in low voices.
Until Zhuang Mingxu was suppressed and stood in front of the stage, someone asked, "Who are you and what are you going to do to the base commander?"
"Of course I'm here to help you." Yu Le had a gun on his shoulder. "Don't you want to have countless purification crystal cores?"
"Don't you want to be able to upgrade whenever you want?"
"How many of you have no crystal cores to upgrade and are stuck at this level?"
"How many of you can only do menial labor in the base to make a living due to level restrictions?"
"Are you willing to be suppressed like this forever?"
Yu Le opened his hands wide as if he was making a speech, but he didn't get the response he deserved.
"But there's too much zombie energy in our bodies. Will we die if we upgrade?"
"Yeah, we're just waiting to metabolize the zombie energy."
"Once you are qualified, the base will arrange for you to upgrade."
"Isn't this something everyone knows?"
"..." Yu Le, "What safety value? Who can prove that it is correct? Other bases have so many upgrades and it's still fine. That's just something the base uses to fool you. Do you really think it's true?"
"Don't you ever wonder why there are so many high-level psychics in the base military?" Yu Le said angrily.
There were continuous gunshots in the distance. Someone didn't want to waste any more time and urged. Li Feng immediately stepped forward and picked up the loudspeaker, "We don't want to go against you, but the management of the base is now dominated by the only team. The members of the only team are scattered in managing all aspects of the base."
"No one is allowed to question the base management. Everyone remembers the Spark Team more than a month ago, right? Just because they raised questions during the meeting, the entire team was kicked out. In winter with sub-zero temperatures, where would a team live and how would they survive?"
"They also issued a notice to each base. Isn't this equivalent to forcing the entire Spark Squad into a desperate situation?"
"A few days ago, just because a kid from the Ping An team got drunk and had a few verbal conflicts with the base commander, Base Commander Zhuang withdrew the entire Ping An team from the mission. The Ping An team, one of the three major teams, was treated like this. How about your teams?"
"When the lips and teeth are gone, they are interdependent. What we are fighting for today is not the rights and interests of the base, but the base's right to speak, to prepare for the injustice we may suffer one day."
"Everyone here, is there anyone willing to fight with us?" Li Feng asked passionately.
There was silence below, and everyone looked at each other.
Before anyone could speak, Zhuang Mingxu suddenly said, "I advise you to think carefully before you choose your side. Once you start, there is no turning back."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked to his knees by someone beside him, and then he was roughly picked up by several people. Some people wanted to attack him, but suddenly someone shouted, "Does fighting for power mean hitting people? Didn't you see that Zhuang Jichang was holding a child in his arms?"
"That's right. If you dare to hit Chief Zhuang today, who can guarantee that what you say is true?"
"What you want to fight for is not your own interests, right?"
"Oh, you want to put on a hypocritical guise, but you don't even pretend?"
"That's right. Base Captain Lu was leading a team to clean up the zombies outside, and you took the opportunity to stir up trouble in the base, and you even tried to justify it. How dare you be so shameless?"
"This is totally shameless. If you have any sense, you wouldn't do such a thing."
"Quiet, everyone, be quiet. We just..." Li Feng turned his head and glared at several collaborators. "We just don't want to influence your judgment, but we really want to seek benefits for everyone. We hope you can consider yourselves."
"We just want to promote the purification of crystal core energy throughout the base to benefit every psychic in the base."
After saying that, his eyes quickly swept around the crowd.
"I'll go with you guys." Then someone's voice suddenly sounded. People around looked over and the man explained, "I'm about to upgrade and I need a lot of purified crystal cores."
"The captain is here, so let's go too."
Hundreds of people stood up beside the man.
"Which team are they from?"
"It's called the Wanxiang Team. There are quite a few people with special abilities coming this year, and their levels are not low."
"It seems like they had discussed this in advance... um..."
The low murmurs around did not elicit any reaction from the other side, and a group of people stood on the other side in a mighty manner.
With them leading the way, more and more people with special abilities began to walk over there, as if making excuses for themselves, saying things like "I want to upgrade" and "I'm afraid of being treated unfairly in the future" and so on.
Soon there were more than 3,000 people standing nearby, a number that shocked many of the psychics present.
"Is there anyone else willing to join us?" Li Feng asked again.
"Captain Du, are you standing with them?" someone asked Du Ping who was standing in the corner of the podium.
"when……"
"I want to leave the base." Li Feng hadn't finished speaking when Du Ping interrupted him and said, "I won't go with them, and you can't rely on me to make the decision."
"Brother Du, our team has two S-level psychics who have been doing well at the base. Why…"
"Then you have to ask another S-class psychic?" Du Ping turned his gaze to Feng Chengjun, another S-class psychic of the Ping An team, and said without further ado, "Those of you who want to leave with me can make a choice now. If you don't want to leave, they will remain neutral and won't make things difficult for you."
"Deputy Captain Feng?" Someone looked at another S-level psychic from the Ping An team.
Feng Chengjun, who had been standing in the crowd, finally stepped forward and said, "Captain Du, I'm doing this for the good of our team. After all, the crystals provided by the base are really few, and they will have to wait until the end of time if they want to upgrade."
He walked to the other side, followed by several captains of the Ping An team and their team members.
Some of them would even flirt with Du Ping when they saw him, some simply avoided his sight, and many more acted as if following Du Ping had delayed them.
Feeling that the number was about the same and there was no need to waste time persuading the rest, Li Feng first gave them a way out, "The remaining teammates, even if you remain neutral, we welcome you to live in the base in the future, and no one will stop you from leaving."
At this time, the attention of the stage finally shifted back to Zhuang Mingxu, "Base Captain Zhuang, it's time to test the friendship between your teammates. It depends on whether they think your life is more important or the base is more important."
**
In the city center, Lu Weiyi asked directly without waiting for Li Zhuang to speak, "Is this arranged by Zhuang Mingxu? Does he want to take this opportunity to clean up the members of the base?"
Li Zhuang was stunned, nodded, and then shook his head, "He made a wrong estimate."
"Zhuang Mingxu deliberately created the illusion that the base was short of manpower and weapons to lure the other side into taking action, but he underestimated the other side's manpower."
"What do you mean? How many people are involved?"
"Just from what I asked, there are several forces in the Pingjin base, and there is also the participation of nomadic superpowers." Seeing that he was not familiar with the term, Li Zhuang explained, "Nomadic superpowers are a group of superpowers that do not belong to any base. They have no fixed place to live and form their own team, just like... Eric and Qin Yu."
