Chapter 568 Reminder and Confrontation
Zheng Yi suddenly looked at Zhao Qiang who had not moved, and said with gritted teeth, "You framed me!"
Zheng Yi understood everything in an instant. Why would Zhao Qiang appear in front of him openly? Because he was determined to drag him into the water.
If he is willing to cooperate, everything will go smoothly. If he is not willing, the leaders of various bases coming to me at this time with great fanfare, coupled with my thoughts with Yue Banwan some time ago, is tantamount to telling everyone that the Zheng family is behind this matter.
Zheng Yi believed that other teams in Yueban Bay and Kyoto base must have also received the news.
Zhao Qiang did not deny Zheng Yi's words, but stood up and asked, "The arrow is on the string, do you want to take a gamble?"
"Are you crazy? What do you think is the current situation in Kyoto?" After Zheng Yi shouted angrily, he went out and shouted to the guards, "Tell them that I never invited them. Besides, I am not feeling well and have rested. I will give them an explanation tomorrow afternoon."
Meeting them at this time is tantamount to confirming that this incident was done by the Zheng family.
"yes!"
"Wait," Zheng Yi stopped the guard who was about to leave and looked at Zhao Qiang, "Go and thoroughly investigate who sent them the invitation in the name of Zheng Jiajun."
"You want to give them the crystal core?" A hint of hostility flashed across Zhao Qiang's eyes, as if his things had been snatched away by others.
He thought he had paved the way, but he didn't expect that Zheng Yi, who had been determined to take action against Yuebanwan some time ago, would fail at this time.
Zheng Yi stood up vigilantly and slightly put some distance between the two of them, then calmly notified his psychics to come for support, "I advise you to stay calm, our psychics are at the same level, you can't kill me in a short time."
"Besides, even if I die, you won't be able to convince Lu Xiao."
"He is only S-level now." Zhao Qiang's eyes were red, and he seemed to have fallen into paranoia and couldn't extricate himself.
"Haha, Chief Zhao, did you lose your brain after upgrading?" Zheng Yi was amused by his answer. "When the forces in Kyoto are in chaos at this time, can you escape unscathed?"
"I can!" Zhao Qiang said loudly.
"..." Zheng Yi choked.
He is SS-rank, and he does have this ability, but...
"You don't care about the teammates who followed you through thick and thin? You just walked away and left them to take care of everything you left behind. Don't you consider them?"
Zhao Qiang hesitated for a moment.
This hesitation also made Zheng Yi feel that he was not hopeless.
"This place has been surrounded by people with special powers. If you don't want today's incident to get out of hand, leave now."
Just by hearing the bustling footsteps outside, Zhao Qiang knew that now was not a good time to continue the conversation.
"According to the agreement, all transactions will be settled with Yuebanwan Base at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. I hope you will not be absent."
As soon as Zheng Yi finished speaking, Zhao Qiang paused and sneered, "If the old man knew that the heir he exchanged his life for was a coward, I wonder if he would die with regrets?"
"You——" Zheng Yi glared at him.
Zhao Qiang no longer paid attention to him. The wall in front of him was like a black hole. Zhao Qiang walked in and disappeared into the office.
The door suddenly opened at this moment, and a group of psychics quickly entered and took control of the entire room.
**
As Zheng Yi expected, at the critical moment, it was impossible for the members of Yuebanwan to make no preparations. When almost all the base leaders left in the direction of Zheng's army, Yuebanwan had already received the news.
Late that night, Zheng Yi was preparing to rest when he heard a gust of wind blowing through the bedroom. When he looked again, a figure shrouded in darkness appeared in the room.
Thinking that it was Zhao Qiang's ghost that was lingering around, Zheng Yi had no choice but to be alert.
At this moment, the man in the darkness spoke, "I am a member of the Flame."
Business is actually a child, with the immaturity of a teenager.
"?" Zheng Yi was surprised, but did not say anything. He frequently traveled between several bases in Kyoto, but he never remembered that there was such a person in Lieyan.
"Our captain sent me here." The boy didn't mind his attitude and lowered his voice and said, "Our captain said that since you saved Lu Xi before, he will do you a favor."
"What?"
"I advise you not to have any inappropriate thoughts," the boy said and turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait, what does he mean?" Zheng Yi stepped forward to pull the man, but the boy dodged flexibly, putting some distance between them, and disappeared in the room in the blink of an eye, as if he had never been there.
[I advise you not to have any thoughts that you shouldn’t have].
This was clearly a warning. If the other party had not clearly stated that he was from Lieyan, Zheng Yi would have suspected that he was from Yuebanwan.
If Zheng Yi said that Lu Xiao was returning the favor for helping his son during the war, he would indeed believe it, but did he take the warning as a reminder?
He is probably hoping that he can't stand the provocation and will take action, right?
Zheng Yi felt that this man was really evil at his age. He shouted loudly to the guards at home to increase the patrol alert. If anyone could enter his bedroom quietly, it was not impossible that he could be killed at any time.
**
No matter how the Zheng family strengthened their vigilance privately, it would not affect the settlement the next day in the slightest.
Thinking of the hundreds of crystal cores he might get, Li Yan was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. This also made him the first to know that the temporary base was explored in the middle of the night.
"It was the speed type with psychics. We have a lot of psychics on our side. Since the first day after the war, there have been no less than a hundred psychics on duty at any time. They noticed the mental fluctuations at the first time and locked onto the opponent," Xin Cong reported to Li Yan in a low voice, "but they didn't catch anyone."
"I don't know who he is, so..." He didn't continue. Their base had developed a psychic blocker a long time ago, and it has been upgraded countless times now. Sending psychics might be useful to other bases, but ordinary psychic power can't detect them at all.
Li Yan shook his head and saw the curtains on the first floor moved, as if someone had moved them. Just as he was about to identify whose room it was, Li Zhuang walked out with a clear face.
"Someone was here," he said affirmatively.
Xin Cong nodded.
Li Zhuang leaned against the wall, watching the whistling cold wind, lit a cigarette, stared at the night sky for a while, asked nothing, and returned to the room.
A moment later, Antonio, who lived upstairs from him, was awakened by a stick extending from the wall.
Before he could be alert, the wall formed into the shape of a finger like a fluid and pointed downstairs, and then a downward staircase appeared beside the bed.
Antonio settled Dean down and quietly went downstairs.
"When Zhuang Mingxu left, did he leave the task of purifying the crystal cores at the base to you?" Li Zhuang handed him a cigarette, and when Antonio refused, he went straight to the point.
"right".
"Is there any way to quickly purify the S-level crystal core?"
Antonio shook his head. "It will take some time for the machine to operate..." He paused and frowned as he thought of something. "What do you want to do?"
"Someone has already had ulterior motives. We are definitely not going to have a smooth journey this time. So many crystal cores will attract too much attention. I want someone to absorb the crystal cores as soon as they are obtained. If possible, I want to bring out a few SS-level psychics as soon as possible."
After thinking about the situation of the people who came with them this time, Antonio shook his head and said, "It is generally not time for them to upgrade. Even if they have an S-level crystal core in hand, it is impossible for them to upgrade. If they are forced to absorb a few... the possibility of success is low."
At last he pointed at himself and said, "Instead of relying on them, you should rely on me." The upgrade situation in the base has been very stable. Except for Lu Weiyi, Li Zhuang is at the front. He and Liu Rui have different levels because it is difficult to obtain crystal cores with the same attributes, but no one has ever surpassed them.
"Where is Qingji?" Li Zhuang frowned.
"He's being held back by the mutant plants, making him even slower."
"Maybe... Ning Yuan can, but..." It is impossible for him to leave the base at this time, and it is not easy to get the crystal core back smoothly.
"Then let him upgrade as soon as possible," Li Zhuang said decisively, "I'll find an earth-type supernatural being to clear the way for you. You rush back from underground overnight and find a way to bring the purified things over."
"We must not lose the crystal core this time," Li Zhuang looked at him seriously.
Antonio looked up at Dean who was still sleeping, pursed his lips and did not agree immediately, "Have you ever thought that if they absorb the crystal core immediately and taste the sweetness, will they join forces with outsiders for the remaining crystal cores?"
"Not to mention family, there are countless people who have given up their families for profit."
Li Zhuang said nothing.
The huge number of crystal cores have not yet been obtained, and it has already become a hot potato.
"What do you think?"
"Maybe we will announce to the outside world that we have absorbed it, but we will purify it and protect the crystal core together with them back to the base."
"Okay, you should go back and we'll find a way to exchange for some metal crystal cores." The key right now is to seize every possible opportunity to urge people to upgrade.
"I will send Dean to Lieyan, and Lu Xi will definitely protect him," Li Zhuang assured him.
Antonio no longer had the intention of refusing and nodded, "I will try to be back before noon tomorrow, and I will return by evening at the latest."
After spending more than ten minutes explaining the situation to Dean, Li Zhuang had already mobilized several high-level earth-type ability users, and personally led the way, quietly sending them out of the Kyoto base.
On the other side, Li Yan personally guarded the whole night. At daybreak, he woke up Liu Rui with brisk steps and discussed with him how to prevent possible situations.
Xu Sa was yawning and feeling sleepy. Li Yan was pulling Liu Rui, who was constantly telling him what happened and how to escape with the crystal core. He stammered as he discussed how to deal with unexpected situations. The difficulty of communication between the two was no less than that of the 9981 Difficulties.
"It's only six o'clock now, is it suitable for you?" Xu Sa wrapped his down jacket tightly and asked speechlessly.
"Such a large amount of crystal cores will definitely attract attention from many parties. People die for money and birds die for food. We must bring them back intact." Li Yan said righteously, and seemed to be disgusted that he did not pay enough attention.
