Chapter 569: Hard Fight
"You are the leader, why are you asking us to worry together?"
"Don't you know the status of a team member?" This is the only team in Yueban Bay. Normally, all members are together when they go on a mission. When they are not on a mission, everyone is responsible for the affairs of the base. This is completely different from Li Yan, who only participates in the development of the military.
What's more, the entire Yuebanwan base was built by them, and their level of supernatural powers determines that even if they come out, they can speak on behalf of Yuebanwan's position at any time.
"You have deputy captain Li Zhuang in front and Antonio from the metal department behind. If all else fails, there is still Qingji. May I ask why you don't come to look for anyone else but knock on our door?" Xu Sa said word by word with a wooden face.
“……”Li Yan.
He has to dare to knock on the door of those two people, Qingji won't do anything about it.
"Don't worry about the details, Xiao Rui, let's discuss it in detail..."
The morning passed quietly as Li Yan and Liu Rui had their stumbling communication.
Nine o'clock.
After Li Yan arranged the follow-up cooperation of the temporary base, he took Li Zhuang, Xu Sa and Liu Rui to the agreed place.
Seeing that he looked ready to sacrifice bravely at any time, Li Zhuang comforted him with a smile, "Calm down, you are a Chinese soldier, you can't embarrass yourself."
Li Yan glanced at him dimly and said, "There are also Chinese soldiers on the other side."
Dean couldn't help laughing as he saw them out.
Li Yan turned his head and glanced in the direction of Antonio's room. He was speechless as this man was so careless that he didn't get up. He doubted whether he could coordinate the psychics of various teams, protect more than 10,000 psychics when needed, and provide them with some support.
"How about one of you stay behind?" He looked at Li Zhuang and Liu Rui.
"Didn't you say that they have two SS-level psychics, and do you want them all to come together?" Xu Sa crossed his chest and complained, "Brother, they are all psychics who can enter S-level at any time, don't be like this."
Li Yan said, "Am I not a little nervous?"
This negotiation is related to whether their base will become stronger in the future, and there can be no mistakes.
"There's nothing to be nervous about. Qingji is here, and we've made all the preparations we can. We have the right to receive the crystal core, and we have the upper hand in terms of military force. The worst that can happen is we can just take action."
"Just...just do it, it's over."
"Hahaha……"
A few people made some insults to each other and their expressions gradually relaxed.
Li Yan looked at Xin Cong who was on standby at any time and said, "The next support depends on you."
"Always be ready," Xin Cong saluted him.
Just when they were about to leave, Lu Xi walked in from the gate, followed by Jin Diao and Meng Huan. Meeting several inquiring gazes, he said helplessly, "My father asked Uncle Jin Diao and Uncle Meng to come and protect me."
With Lu Xiao's unremitting intervention and Meng Huan's physical recovery, Golden Eagle's mental state has completely changed from the collapse he had a few months ago. He shrugged at the few people and hinted, "The captain's original words, anyone who threatens our nephew can be dispatched by the Flame Team at any time."
Because of the ever-changing attitudes of the guards and Zheng's army, and the fact that Lu Xi had not returned after the war, although Li Yan did not say anything, he was always worried about Lie Yan's position. When he heard the other party say this, the big stone in his heart finally fell.
He breathed a sigh of relief and grasped the golden eagle's outstretched hand, "Thank you, brother team."
"What kind of relationship are you trying to establish? All the members of your team follow your captain and call our captain uncle. This is the uncle team. Don't try to mess up the generations," Meng Huan joked with Li Yan.
"Get lost, you've only reached captain with your military rank? And you still want to be my uncle..."
"What does seniority have to do with military rank?"
After laughing for a while, Golden Eagle said seriously, "What the Major General means is that we, Lieyan, will not go against any team, but will gather all our strength to ensure the smooth establishment of the anti-zombie alliance."
"Our base commander also insists on the same thing," said Li Yan.
After saying goodbye, the four of them left the temporary base. Li Yan's expression finally relaxed a lot. Along the way, he saw many concerned eyes from other bases. Li Yan and the other three people discussed and decided to just call the leaders of each team. Anyway, everyone was paying attention to this matter at this time.
When we arrived at the government meeting room of Kyoto Base, the heads of the three major teams of Kyoto Base were already there.
After a few days of rumors, everyone knew the purpose of Yuebanwan's trip. Some people felt that they had mobilized the most personnel and materials, so they deserved to be paid. Others felt that they were too utilitarian and treated people's lives as worthless.
But it is undeniable that once the high amount of crystal cores was announced, the people who were originally very grateful to them now looked at them with strange emotions.
"A bunch of profit-seeking villains, what right do they have to be thanked by everyone?"
"I heard that they came so late because they failed to reach an agreement on the crystal core."
"Is this true? It can't be that serious. This is a matter of life and death."
"I heard that it was, otherwise the journey from Kyoto to Yueban Bay is less than six hours, but they took more than two or three hours to arrive. The farthest Mengbei base arrived before them."
"Then they are really cruel..."
"Who says it's not true? I heard that the number of people who died and became zombies this time is more than 200,000. Those are human lives."
There were constant whisperings along the way, and how could they not hear it when they were all psychics?
Xu Sa ignored them completely, hooked his arm around Liu Rui's shoulder and walked towards the government building without looking at anyone. On the other side, Li Zhuang glanced at the crowd with a half-smile, and his dark eyes looked at everyone as if he was looking at a dead person, which immediately silenced many people.
In the small conference room, Zheng Yi, Lu Xiao and Zhao Qiang were sitting in a corner, drinking hot tea and occasionally chatting about unimportant topics. The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful.
Several people pushed the door open, took off their coats and handed them to the receptionist. After greeting them, Xu Sa said bluntly, "Captain Zhao, your management of the base has been much worse than before."
Zhao Qiang didn't expect the opponent to hit him straight, he looked up and smiled calmly, "What do you mean?"
"We were almost drowned in spit all the way here. People around us said all kinds of things. Some even openly talked about how our support was late because we couldn't agree on the conditions. No one clarified this and no one managed it. I thought you did it on purpose...haha..."
Xu Sa laughed to himself twice. "I had to be alert with all my superpowers the whole time, for fear that some rotten vegetable leaves or rotten eggs would hit me accidentally. I wonder if you guys are planning to cross the river and destroy the bridge now that the zombie crisis has been resolved?"
Lu Xiao drank his tea in silence. Zhao Qiang chuckled and said, "You're worrying too much."
In the end, Zheng Yi came out to smooth things over, "How could that be? Kyoto Base is very grateful to Yuebanwan Base for its timely support of the psychics and large amounts of hot weapons and supplies."
"It's right. After all, the two bases are so close to each other. The most important thing we should do is to help each other. According to Mr. Zheng's last wish, the main force to fight against the Zombie Alliance this time will still be based on our two bases."
"Indeed, so let's put aside the polite words and talk about the remuneration we agreed upon before." Zheng Yi was so impatient that everyone else was stunned. Lu Xiao lowered his eyes calmly and said nothing.
Zhao Qiang couldn't help but exert a little force with his fingers that were holding the water cup, and the ceramic cup shattered instantly. He then quickly repaired it with his supernatural powers, and not even a drop of water leaked out. Only Li Zhuang and Liu Rui, who were extremely sensitive to supernatural powers, saw this scene. One of them crossed his legs and looked like a jungler with a half-smile on his face, while the other one put on a stern face and pretended to be a mature adult, but quietly touched and tugged at the corner of Xu Sa's clothes beside him.
Xu Sa grabbed his rebellious hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, there are still guests who haven't arrived yet."
"Guest?" Zheng Yi was puzzled.
Zhao Qiang and Lu Xiao also looked over, and before Xu Sa could answer, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in," Xu Sa said proactively.
As soon as the door opened, the leaders of each base team were seen standing in a row at the door.
Zheng Yi turned his gaze to Zhao Qiang without any concealment. He saw him frown, and then leaned back in his chair leisurely as if he had figured something out. He knew in his heart that he was the one causing trouble.
He is now determined to fulfill his grandfather's last wish and establish an anti-zombie alliance as soon as possible, but Zhao Qiang has spared no effort to stop it. However, the Zheng family is now in decline, which makes him somewhat helpless.
"The guests I invited have arrived." Xu Sa's words instantly made Zhao Qiang's mouth tremble and he sat up straight.
Seeing Tang Bai coming in at the end of the team, he believed that these people came here at the invitation of Yuebanwan. After all, according to his own plan, they should not have come so soon, and they would not have notified Tang Bai, who was almost a follower of Yuebanwan.
"You...?" Zheng Yi was also a little confused and didn't know what they wanted to do.
"There have been various rumors in Kyoto in recent days, and no one has come out to clarify. We can only take this opportunity to gather the teams from various bases here and let everyone be witnesses to avoid speculation and thinking that we have taken advantage of Kyoto." Li Yan secretly mocked the inaction of the Kyoto base.
The heads of several bases glanced at Zheng Yi calmly. Just this one glance made Zheng Yi suddenly feel bad. After all, Zhao Qiang only wanted to make trouble secretly, and he might push him out to take the blame again.
The key point is that the people in Yueban Bay just watched the development silently without asking any questions. No one knew what they were thinking, leaving Zheng Yi with no way to explain.
The small conference room seemed a little crowded because of the arrival of six base leaders. Xu Sa waited until everyone was seated before he spoke.
"There have been rumors in recent days that the reason our base came to aid Kyoto is because Mr. Zheng paid us a huge amount of high-level crystal cores, and we came here for a fee." Xu Sa went straight to the point without any procrastination. In an instant, several base leaders who had been paying attention to this matter looked over.
