Chapter 567: Framed
"Hehe, given the current situation in Kyoto base, do you dare to attack us?" Li Zhuang pulled one corner of his mouth, with no concealment of contempt in his eyes.
"For the sake of interests, who can guarantee it?" Li Yan frowned, "I feel that Ningyuan has provided too much support. The war ended early, so they have nothing to worry about. By the way, you have been resting before, and I didn't have time to ask, why did you send you here again?"
"You don't really think that Ningyuan sent people to support Kyoto?"
"Hmm? Isn't it?"
"Not really. To be more specific, they are supporting us." Li Zhuang yawned and roughly told him about the situations they encountered along the way.
Li Zhuang, Zheng Jun and others had already noticed the change in the weather when they left Laoshan, but they did not expect it to change so quickly. Not long after the helicopter left Laoshan, it was hit by a hurricane. If it were not for the psychic on the passenger plane protecting them with all their strength, they would have crashed long ago.
The wind direction forced us to change our route several times along the way, and we finally found the direction to return after much difficulty. As a result, we ran out of fuel near Kyoto.
"We can't find fuel outside now, so we sent a request for help to the base. The fighter planes are going to deliver fuel to us." Li Zhuang looked at Li Yan with amusement and surprise, "Ning Yuan felt that the trip should not be in vain, anyway, he came here to earn some travel expenses by passing by Kyoto, and..."
Li Zhuang raised one corner of his mouth and smiled a bit wickedly, "He asked to bring more spare crystal core cabins than what he said, just waiting for Kyoto base to deny it."
"Before, they didn't allow our base to go over and collect the crystal cores because they were afraid that if there was a dispute, it would become unclear."
Li Yan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
but……
"Our original agreement was signed with Mr. Zheng. What if others disagree?"
"Kyoto's selection of him as commander means it recognizes his series of actions. How can he just enjoy the benefits without thinking about paying the price? What's more, our agreement was clearly signed at the time when Mr. Zheng served as commander." Li Zhuang didn't take these twists and turns to heart at all.
Ever since he contacted Ning Yuan and learned that Ning Yuan had asked others for so many S-level crystal cores, he had not thought about taking them away smoothly. After all, now that people have seen how powerful SS-level psychics are, countless people are tempted.
Giving out so many S-level crystal cores means that there may be more SS-level psychics in their base, which is tantamount to adding combat power to others. How can it be obtained so easily?
What's more, compared to other bases, there are not many psychics coming to support their base, and only their base has crystal cores to take, so how could people from other bases be willing to do so?
The reason why the news was revealed at this time also shows that the person behind the scenes wants all bases to come forward to put pressure on each other so that they cannot get the crystal core, and they are willing to end the anti-zombie alliance that has been formed with great difficulty.
When Li Yan thought of this, he remembered the relief and hope in Mr. Zheng's eyes when he fell down after watching the victory of the battle. He suddenly felt that it was somewhat not worth it for Mr. Zheng to persist with his life.
These people don't deserve him.
That night, Dean used his sweet words to coax three mutant sheep back from Lu Xiao. Although the frozen ones didn't taste as good as the fresh ones, it finally fulfilled his wish of eating mutton hotpot with the first snow.
However, when Li Yan found out that Lu Xi did not come back with him, his brows slightly frowned. Since the end of the battle, Lu Xi was called back to Lieyan and has not been here since then.
Although Lu Xiao and Lu Weiyi have a close relationship, Li Yan has to think more during such a turbulent time.
While the members of Yuebanwan Base were happily eating hotpot and the aroma wafted across the air, in the government meeting room of Kyoto Base, Zheng Yi, who was still in mourning clothes, was checking the counted number of crystal cores in his hand. Standing opposite his desk was Zhao Qiang, who had just successfully upgraded.
He appeared suddenly. The wall of the building deformed without anyone noticing, and he walked out of it silently, as if through a black hole. As he appeared, the hole slowly recovered and the scene became weird and eerie.
Seeing that he didn't want anyone to know, Zheng Yi immediately knew what was happening in the base. He asked bluntly, "If you were the person in charge of Yueban Bay, would you get the crystal core at all costs or compromise with the various bases?"
Zhao Qiang didn't expect that he didn't say a word of courtesy, and didn't even ask who did it, but asked this instead.
He didn't even think about it, as he already had the answer in his mind - of course, the crystal core.
Just the group of people in Yueban Bay, with these crystal cores, who knows how many SS-level psychics will emerge.
It can also directly accumulate an SSS-level mutant. At that time, no one will think about other bases.
Moreover, at present, the strength of Yueban Bay is not something that any base can resist. As for getting all the bases to unite...
Looking at how difficult it is to unite the anti-zombie alliance today, you can imagine how difficult it is to reach a consensus. Everyone wants to gain more benefits, and when coordination is difficult, they can only rely on absolute suppression by force.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Zheng Yi knew what he was thinking. He raised his chin towards the stool opposite the desk and motioned him to sit down. He continued, "How could the people in Yueban Bay who have both the strength and the weapons not have thought of what you can think of? Do you think they won't be fully prepared?"
Zhao Qiang narrowed his eyes and stared at Zheng Yi, "What news do you know?"
Zheng Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's not that easy to place spies in Yueban Bay. They are famous for their good treatment, but if they betray the base, they will openly punish their relatives and friends regardless of what others say. No one dares to say a word."
Zhao Qiang did not deny it. After all, he was also one of the practitioners and he knew the degree of difficulty.
"You are blinded by interests." Zheng Yi pinched his eyebrows tiredly.
"Aren't you tempted?" Zhao Qiang did not deny that he was coveting those high-level crystal cores.
"Move," Zheng Yi answered simply. He looked up at Zhao Qiang calmly, "But what can we do?"
"First of all, Lieyan will definitely not cooperate. As one of the three major teams in Kyoto Base, what do you think is the possibility of avoiding their actions?"
“Once the other party knows, it means Yueban Bay will definitely know. We are not that far away from Yueban Bay. A missile before the end of the world can destroy this place.” Zheng Yi saw that Zhao Qiang wanted to speak and stretched out his hand to stop him.
"If they were soft-hearted people, they wouldn't have driven tens of thousands of people out of the base when winter was approaching. Have you forgotten the tragic scene of frozen corpses everywhere outside the Moon Bay base?"
"Lu Xiao was able to direct his artillery fire at the entire Kyoto base without hesitation. How could you think that Yueban Bay wouldn't be a fight to the bitter end after suffering injustice?"
"I asked someone to find out the number of hot weapons stored in their base. It's very unlikely that they will have any surplus after this consumption," said Zhao Qiang.
Zheng Yi sighed, "Can you guarantee that your information is 80% accurate?"
Zhao Qiang did not answer.
Zheng Yi didn't want to gamble on any possibility. He had never been able to learn the calmness that he had before. Old Master Zheng taught him a lesson with his death. Now it was the end of the world. Leading the Zheng family to a higher level was not so important as living longer. If he hadn't been impulsive and greedy, the support from Yueban Bay would not have come so late.
There is no need for the old man to be exhausted...
Zheng Yi didn't dare to think further. He forced himself to suppress the sourness in his eyes. He looked at Zhao Qiang, who was possessed by a ghost, and asked.
"Besides, all the bases are coming together for the sake of profit. When the crystal cores are distributed, they will not be able to keep them in the end. Is it necessary to go through all this trouble?"
Zheng Yi pressed his brows, feeling exhausted - the funeral had drained most of his energy and he didn't want to continue planning like this.
However, Zhao Qiang has always been a person who improves steadily. The size and capabilities of the guard team should not be underestimated, especially when the Zheng family army suffered heavy losses. Zheng Yi does not want to make enemies with any medium or large team.
Seeing that Zhao Qiang was unmoved and determined, he told him the last piece of information, "When we were cleaning up the battlefield before, I asked people to keep an eye out for that SSS-level zombie."
Seeing the change in Zhao Qiang's expression, Zheng Yi leaned back in his chair and said slowly, "He was not found. He is missing. Another way to put it is..."
"He took advantage of the chaos to escape."
Zhao Qiang's brows were tightly furrowed into a "川" shape, and a rare look of confusion and hesitation flashed across his face, showing how much he couldn't let go of these crystal cores.
"You won't be like those short-sighted psychics who think that SSS psychics are something we can currently contend with, right?" Zheng Yi sneered.
"It has now been basically confirmed that he was indeed looking for something in the Kyoto base. If he couldn't find it this time, who can guarantee there won't be a next time? Most of the thermal weapons storage in the Kyoto base has been used up this time. If it happens again, we will still need the thermal weapons in Yueban Bay and support from psychics, so an anti-zombie alliance must be established."
"so--"
Zheng Yi looked at Zhao Qiang and said seriously, "Tonight, I will pretend that you have never been here."
This means that he will not cooperate with Zhao Qiang, but he will not expose what Zhao Qiang has done.
Internally, no matter how they fight, they are all members of the Kyoto base, and now is the time to unite against the outside world.
Zhao Qiang leaned back on the sofa, stroking his fingers without saying a word. Just when Zheng Yi was about to see him off, he heard a faint noisy sound coming from outside the office. He looked towards the door unhappily, and saw Zhao Qiang suddenly look up at him and said, "Maybe... it's too late."
"What do you mean?" Zheng Yi had a bad feeling. He quickly stood up and prepared to go out for a look. Then he heard two knocks on the office door. The orderly walked in. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes when he saw Zhao Qiang appear here, but then he said to Zheng Yi.
"Captain, the heads of all bases are coming to see you."
"Why are you looking for me so late at night?" Zheng Yi said this and knew something was wrong. He heard the orderly reply with a strange look on his face, "They said they were invited by you."
Zheng Yi suddenly looked at Zhao Qiang who had not moved, and said with gritted teeth, "You framed me!"
