Chapter 526 Implementation
He said to several responsible persons beside Gao Yang.
Gao Yang gestured OK neatly.
After assigning the patrols, Ning Yuan continued to arrange the tasks, "In the next seven days, the base army will launch attacks on the base as the attack direction, including but not limited to all means of attack. The military and civilians in the base must protect the safety of the base residents within the specified time."
Ning Yuan reselected the defense map and let the people from each team choose.
"A real fight? Using super powers or weapons?"
"It's mainly about sneak attacks. The winner is if you can find the opponent and catch all of them."
Ning Yuan's answer made some people look at each other in bewilderment. Someone asked with a relaxed look, "So you don't have to do anything at all?"
"Yes, but if the other party succeeds and the area the team is responsible for is lost, everyone will be considered dead." Ning Yuan looked around and said, "This is a mandatory task. Successful guarding will be counted as base contribution points, but..."
"If the base is lost, the team's contribution points will be deducted, and future base missions will be counted as lack of ability and the number of times will be reduced."
The team contribution points are related to the purchase of some advanced equipment in the base, and the only way to obtain them is to participate in the base missions. If the number of times is reduced, it means that they may only be able to purchase them by spending crystal cores like outside bases.
The team couldn’t afford the huge expense.
"No way..." Ye Jia wailed.
"Yes," Ning Yuan said seriously, "I don't want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you, but the base has been guarding this pure land until now, and there are many people who are ready to take action against us. This is an exercise and also an actual combat. I hope you can do your best."
"Now that Commander Ning has made it clear, I'll also ask a question," a man in his forties suddenly stood up.
He is the captain of the Peak Team, Tan Ming, an A-level fire-type mutant who manages a medium-sized team of about a thousand people.
Ning Yuan recalled the team's situation in his mind, made a gesture for him to speak, and glanced at the specific information Wu Yue left for him.
The top team likes to gain something for nothing, and will usually exploit the smaller teams that have allied with them when doing missions.
Ning Yuan suddenly felt that the team in their base was really short-sighted. More than a thousand people in Kyoto were not even considered a small team. He considered that perhaps he could ask Wu Yue to improve the regulations on the establishment and review of teams in the future.
"Is there going to be a war at our base?"
"I haven't got any exact news. Everything now is to prepare for all possibilities in the future. No one can guarantee that the destination of the zombie army outside is not our Yueban Bay." Ning Yuan said, looking around with a smile.
"Of course, if any team or resident feels dangerous now, Yuebanwan will let you leave at any time, but..." Ning Yuan paused and said with a smile, "In order to prevent some equipment from leaking out, all instruments will be left behind. The base can exchange them for crystal cores and return them to you. You only need to pay part of the loss fee."
"We bought it ourselves, why should we keep it?"
"Don't you have any idea about the prices of these things?" If it weren't for the base's preferential treatment, those crystal cores alone would be enough to consume most of a team's financial resources, and they might not be able to get all of them.
Tan Ming paused and looked at the small teams around him, "We also got it by completing the base mission and spending crystal cores, didn't you?"
Yue Qiwen, who was sitting closest to Tan Ming, moved a little further away without making a sound, as if he was not of the same kind as Tan Ming and was afraid that the fire would burn him.
Gao Yang also silently turned his body to the other side, clearly refusing to respond.
Ning Yuan looked at him calmly, and even made a gesture of invitation, indicating that he should continue speaking.
Seeing that no one responded, Tan Ming glanced at the leaders of several smaller teams behind him.
After a while, someone finally spoke again, "Captain Ning, our team is not as big or as strong as other teams. The situation at the base has been tense recently, and everyone is in a state of panic..."
As he spoke, he looked towards the other people in the conference room and discovered that the people sitting near the front were either dozing off or chatting in low voices. There were even women discussing the latest cosmetics released by the base with each other... and none of them looked interested at all.
The person who was speaking was from a small team that Tan Ming often hung out with. The leader, Niu Zhe, was a wood-type mutant who was not strong in combat and was unwilling to go out to plant crops, so he just followed Tan Ming around all day.
Niu Zhe choked on his words, but he didn't retreat. He straightened his neck and said, "Our psychics are not of high level and cannot be compared with the big teams at the base. I would like to ask Commander Ning, what countermeasures will the base have for the siege of the bases?"
"Where did you hear that there is a base besieging us? In what way and by what means?" Ning Yuan's eyes suddenly became sharp, "Or has anyone contacted you?"
Niu Zhe looked at Tan Ming for help. Tan Ming frowned slightly and said for him, "General Ning, you don't have to hide it. Aren't the series of actions the base is taking now all aimed at responding to the targeting of various bases?"
"We just want to know the base's specific response measures and whether they are sure to win..."
"No matter what happens, the base will be prepared to deal with it. You just need to cooperate. As for the specific measures..." Ning Yuan looked at Tan Ming with a smile, and said bluntly, "Is this what you should ask?"
After arranging the specific matters of the exercise to each team, Ning Yuan left first. As soon as he left the meeting room, his face darkened.
"You ask people to keep an eye on the small team below to see if anyone has contacted them or if they have some ulterior motives. Also, ask Feng Liang to check if there are any other communication signals inside the base that contact the outside world, and monitor them."
"I understand." The guard next to him left quickly first. Ning Yuan stood at the intersection, unable to suppress his anger, and walked towards the direction where Zhuang Mingxu was.
Compared to the tense situation at the base, Zhuang Mingxu was extremely relaxed. He had no intention of going to work in broad daylight and went hunting on West Island with Zhuang Aiyi and three giant wolves.
"Many animals on this island have mutated now. Why did you come here alone?" Ning Yuan was so scared when he saw two ordinary people, one big and one small, running around among the animals without any protection.
"I have it." Zhuang Mingxu jumped off Xiaobai and pointed to a mutated plant wrapped around Zhuang Aiyi's wrist. That was the one on Gu Qingji's wrist.
"Then you yourself..." Ning Yuan stopped talking when he saw the weapons around Zhuang Mingxu.
Patting Zhuang Wukong and signaling him to lie down, Zhuang Aiyi slid down from him. He was not afraid of the white wolf that was several times taller than him. He directly reached out to snatch the half-meter-long rabbit in his mouth.
Ning Yuan was frightened by the sight of the white wolf's bloody fangs. He was afraid that if the wolf opened its mouth and bit him, Zhuang Aiyi's little head would be in danger.
Fortunately, the white wolf had no intention of attacking and obediently let go of the rabbit. It even carried the woven net bag they brought to Zhuang Aiyi.
"Let's pick a place that's not too hot to roast it." Zhuang Aiyi patted his head soothingly, pointed in a direction, and showed off to Ning Yuan with a smile, "Uncle Yuan, I'll roast the rabbit that I brought Wukong to catch for you."
"Is Ai Yi so powerful?" Ning Yuan checked the time. It was still early before work in the afternoon, so he caught up quickly and wanted to help Wukong carry the bag. However, he was stared at by Zhuang Wukong with cold eyes and dodged with disgust and ran forward.
Zhuang Aiyi was leaning on a wooden stick, tapping the ground from time to time. A white wolf followed him on his left and right. With Zhuang Wukong leading the way, they walked to a hillside.
As Zhuang Aiyi pulled away the vines outside, he found a cave hidden inside.
"This... there is a hole on this island?" Ning Yuan walked forward to check it out in surprise. After touching it, he felt that it seemed to be a trace of human intervention.
"I asked Wu Yue to do this before. We detected groundwater here, so we made a nest for Zhuang Wukong and the others." Zhuang Mingxu followed behind and watched Zhuang Aiyi busy collecting firewood and skinning rabbits seriously. He had no intention of helping at all.
Ning Yuan looked at the child's face splattered with blood, as he clumsily cut open the rabbit, his hands covered in blood, and felt heartbroken.
Most of the team is on their own, and there is only this one child, who has always been raised as their own child. Now seeing him doing these things at such a young age, it is inevitable that they cannot accept it.
"...Isn't it too early?" Ning Yuan hesitated and pleaded.
"Early exposure means early independence." Zhuang Mingxu looked at Zhuang Aiyi calmly, watching him direct the three white wolves to fetch water and collect firewood. Finally, he cut the rabbit with great difficulty and placed it on the firewood pile, then turned around and smiled at them.
"It will be ready to eat soon."
"I love Yi Ke, it's awesome," Ning Yuan praised without reservation.
Seeing that he had finished, Zhuang Mingxu retracted his gaze and asked, "What happened to you that brought you here at this time?"
Ning Yuan then remembered the meeting in the morning and said to Zhuang Mingxu with gritted teeth, "I think they just want to escape at the last minute."
"What's the big deal? If we were in their shoes, we would make the same choice. It's not easy to be alive today, and no one wants to be buried with the result of death."
Ning Yuan knew it in his heart, but he felt heartbroken when he thought about the support the base had given them.
"Mobilize them, and by the way, two days before the exercise, show all the large weapons in our base so that everyone can see their power. At the same time, manipulate public opinion and improve the atmosphere at the grassroots level. If they are still restless after seeing our capabilities, then..."
"You don't want to let them go?" Ning Yuan was incredulous.
"What else?" Seeing Ning Yuan was anxious, Zhuang Mingxu pressed him down and said, "First count all the people, and after they gather, detain them all to prevent them from leaking the information of the base. When this crisis is over, expel them and never allow them to get close again."
This means they still have a glimmer of hope.
Although Ning Yuan was unhappy, he didn't intend to kill them all.
The two talked about the arrangements for the people coming from Kyoto for a while. After a while, Zhuang Aiyi had already roasted the rabbit. When he carefully cut it into slices and handed it to Ning Yuan, Ning Yuan suddenly felt like the son of Zhongwu's family had grown up.
