Chapter 570: Zhao Qiang's Greed
Changhong Base, which already had a grudge against Yuebanwan and wished that there was a base that could crush Yuebanwan to death at any time, said anxiously, "Isn't that right? Are you trying to tell us that you didn't collect the crystal core?"
It was the Changhong Base that contributed the most to the civil strife in Yueban Bay. Xu Sa had never had a good impression of the people in this base. In addition, Eric almost retaliated against several large teams in their base at that time, so although the Changhong Base was not completely destroyed, its strength was seriously damaged. Otherwise, with their ability to interfere in the affairs of other bases in the early days of the apocalypse, how could they have the decisive say at the negotiation table today?
In the past, when people from Yuebanwan met at Changhong Base, they would just hide quietly, and Yuebanwan would tacitly pretend that they didn’t exist. Now they dare to be the first to stand up openly, and I don’t know if someone promised them some benefits.
Xu Sa lowered his eyes with a hint of contempt, and when he looked up again, no expression could be seen. He pretended not to hear what someone said, and calmly handed the stack of papers he brought to Chen Guozhong who was sitting not far away, "Uncle Chen, please pass it on so that everyone can have a look."
"This is what Mr. Zheng said when he sent a message for help to our base on behalf of the Kyoto base. It clearly stated that he was willing to use crystal cores to purchase our base's energy converters and at the same time rent our base's new energy fighter jets at a high price."
Several base leaders looked at the information passed to them. These words were indeed written on it, but...
"It's just some words written. Who can be sure whether this thing is true or false?" Pang Xinghuo, the person in charge of Jin Province, crossed his legs and spoke directly without even looking at it.
"That's right, this thing can be produced by any printer, who are we trying to fool with it?" The people at Changhong Base agreed again, and their anxious look to show their presence was hilarious.
Pang Xinghuo obviously didn't like the way Changhong Base was always waiting to bark. He sneered and looked in the direction of the three people from Kyoto. "I'm a very easy person to talk to. We from Jin Province Base came to support Kyoto in order to join the anti-zombie alliance. We have met all the conditions required by Mr. Zheng. Now you are telling me that we are also here to support, but others have lower requirements and even higher-level crystal cores?"
Pang Xinghuo patted his trouser legs and stood up with a gangster look on his face, "Who the hell are you looking down on? When we were working, you sent a lot of people from our Jin Province base to the front line."
"Let's make it clear today. Either we take the same number of crystal cores as others, or no one should take any."
Liu Rui and Pang Xinghuo are of similar age, but their different life experiences have made their personalities completely different. Pang Xinghuo is passionate and outspoken, full of fearlessness and recklessness, while Liu Rui, as an SS-level psychic, is supporting a base.
The two young faces were not far apart, causing many people's eyes to linger on their faces.
Xu Sa quickly recalled Pang Xinghuo’s identity background investigation in his mind - he was the second generation of loan sharks before the apocalypse, and after the apocalypse, he relied on his recklessness to gain a foothold in the base. This made him have the characteristics of a gangster in his personality, and as a superpower of this generation, he was pushed to a level by the whole family's strength, so he was naturally arrogant and domineering.
Xu Sa, a man who had escaped from prison by ruthlessness, naturally did not take such people seriously. He sneered, and the contempt on his face was clearly written.
"The reason why I invited you all here today is to inform everyone that every crystal core I got from Yuebanwan is my due, unlike some people."
"Who the hell are you talking about--?" Pang Xinghuo glared at Xu Sa, and flames spread all over his body, making him look like a little fire man, but the flames only flashed in front of everyone's eyes for a few seconds, and then went out little by little.
The scene where the flame returns to the skin little by little is more like being forced back by someone rather than being extinguished.
Seeing that something was not right, Chen Guozhong, who was closest to him, waved to the guard at the door and whispered something in his ear.
The guard's gaze paused on Pang Xinghuo for a moment, then turned and left.
Pang Xinghuo groaned, his eyes wandered for a moment, and finally locked onto Liu Rui, who had an expressionless face and his eyes were always fixed on Xu Sa.
"It's you—"
Pang Xinghuo gritted his teeth.
He stood up and walked towards Liu Rui. Several people in the base were looking forward to the fun and seemed to be enjoying the show. They had no intention of stopping him. Just as Zheng Yi looked at Lu Xiao speechlessly and was about to stand up, he saw the office door opened and a man in his thirties walked in.
He looked thin and weak, the only distinctive feature being that he had only one arm. He stepped forward and stopped Pang Xinghuo who was about to rush towards Liu Rui.
"Brother Jin, let me go, I..." Pang Xinghuo struggled violently.
"Sorry, the child is ignorant. Our base will not participate in this matter. You can do as you please." The man called Brother Jin held Pang Xinghuo tightly with one arm. It didn't look like he had difficulty breaking free, but Pang Xinghuo didn't dare to use force as if he was afraid of hurting him. If it weren't for the fake anger on his face, people would suspect that he was acting.
"No, I'm the leader of the Jin Province team this time, and I have the final say," Pang Xinghuo looked bluntly at Xu Sa and the others, "It's still what I said just now, either everyone has a share, or no one can take it."
"Xiaoxing... cough cough cough..." Jin Hui pulled him out twice, but failed. Instead, he started coughing violently.
"Brother Jin!" Pang Xinghuo turned around and patted him on the back. His worried look did not show the ruffian look he had just a moment ago.
"Listen to me, let's go." Jin Hui looked at him pleadingly. Pang Xinghuo looked at him, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes. After a moment, his eyes became firm, and he shouted to the outside, "Pang Yan, send Brother Jin back to rest."
As soon as he finished speaking, a yellow-haired young man came in from outside the door. His temperament was not much different from that of a street thug, and it gave people the feeling that the captain leads like his teammates.
He walked up awkwardly and pulled Jin Hui's clothes, whispering, "Brother Jin, let's go back first. Brother Xing has his own ideas."
"Xiaoxing..." Jin Hui was pulled out. He looked at Pang Xinghuo with regret in his eyes and said a few words with his mouth moving.
The other people didn't recognize what he said. Instead, Li Zhuang, who knew everything, narrowed his eyes as he looked at Pang Xinghuo who was dragged away. His gaze moved between the three captains of Kyoto and lingered on Zheng Yi and Zhao Qiang thoughtfully.
After this incident, Pang Xinghuo calmed down a lot. He sat back in his seat, lowered his eyes and looked at his hands quietly, as if he was thinking about something.
The people at Changhong Base were about to speak, but Xu Sa spoke first.
"Captain Zheng, is there anything wrong with these records? If there are any mistakes, please point them out now and we will investigate and verify them immediately. After all, the number is huge and we will have to cooperate in the future. There is no need to affect our relationship because of such a small matter," Xu Sa said in a grand manner.
Zheng Yi looked at their grand gesture and didn't think the matter he was talking about was "small" at all.
He looked at the document information in his hand again and nodded, "There is indeed no problem."
"Well then..."
"Wait a minute," the person from Changhong base just opened his mouth, and Xu Sa turned his head condescendingly and interrupted him who was about to continue speaking, "I don't know the name of this... person in charge."
"You may not quite understand why I invited you here."
"Who said I was invited by you..."
"Oh?" Xu Sa's eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled, staring at him like a fox and asking, "Who invited you here?"
"..." The man choked and couldn't say anything for a long time as he looked at Xu Sa who was waiting for his answer leisurely.
Xu Sa sneered and said, “No matter who invited you here, you have to make one thing clear.”
He restrained his expression and said coldly, "This is a matter between Yueban Bay and Kyoto Base, and has nothing to do with anyone else."
"I invited you all here to serve as a witness that we have the right to obtain the crystal core from Yueban Bay. If something happens because we cannot obtain it... we have a legitimate reason."
"However, if anyone wants to take advantage of this situation..." Xu Sa paused and looked at the six base leaders, "then he should be careful of his own paws at all times."
As soon as he finished speaking, he smiled again, as if his face changed. "For this kind of experience, I think people who come to Changhong Base have the most personal experience, right?"
After all, Yuebanwan had spent nearly a year preparing to attack them at any time, which made them like frightened birds for a long time.
"..."The leader of the Changhong base was completely distraught.
Tang Bai's expression did not change from beginning to end. To put it bluntly, he still couldn't be sure how many teams in the Pingjin base were Yuebanwan's spy teams. Moreover, the Pingjin base had always had close contacts with Yuebanwan and had long been considered by various bases to be together with Yuebanwan.
The best proof is that everyone received a mysterious invitation this time, but I was excluded.
If there were so many crystal cores, how could he not be tempted? However, he was aware of the strength and madness of the people in Yuebanwan, so he didn't touch them.
At this moment, he was like a badger in a melon field, his eyes moving back and forth between the base leaders on both sides, and from time to time he observed the expressions of the three captains of Kyoto, hoping to find something different.
The leaders of the other bases remained silent, and all looked in the direction of Kyoto's group in tacit understanding.
This kind of breach of contract was common before the end of the world, let alone after the end of the world. However, if they want to participate, one party has to break the contract first. If both parties are willing, then no matter how jealous they are, it has nothing to do with them.
They can only blame themselves because they were all distracted by Mr. Zheng's proposal to share the breeding of babies and ignored the ownership of the crystal core after the war.
Facing those obscure and expectant gazes, Zhao Qiang hesitated while holding the paper, "Is this thing authentic..."
