Chapter 751: Strategy
Although he is a high-level psychic, his body is very thin and his eyebrows are much more sinister. When he raises his eyes and looks at people, he gives people a sinister feeling.
"What's wrong with him?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"Oh," Li Zhuang sneered, "You try to steal a chicken but end up losing the rice."
Knowing that Lu Weiyi didn't know, he briefly told him what happened. "At that time, Pang Xinghuo appeared in front of him with the intention of dying together. Later, the two disappeared for a long time. Some people said at the time that he was seriously injured. It was said that there was a foreign object in his internal organs. He has been asking the healing psychics of the guard team to learn how to reshape his organs."
Li Zhuang had a smug smile on his face. Compared to the indifferent bystander and the fake mask on his face, he looked more lively and popular, no longer wandering among people.
As the two people got closer, the sound of people talking on the other side could be heard.
"Two countries do not kill envoys when they go to war, and we are unwilling to meet with the negotiators. Could it be that you have done something shameful?" The person rushing in the front was an unknown person. Compared with the leaders behind him who were holding umbrellas or wearing raincoats, he needed to wipe the rain from his mouth after shouting a few sentences, which made him more like a supernatural person living at the bottom of society.
"That's right. If there's anything shameful, ask your person in charge to come out. Our sheriff wants to see him." Another one looked indignant, as if Yuebanwan had done something against the law of nature and that he was the righteous one.
Several people gathered in the front were very noisy and wanted to rush in at any time, while the people guarding Yueban Bay were resisting hard. The person in charge was an acquaintance - Zheng Jun, who had followed them back from Cangnan Research Institute and joined the Eighth Team of the Base Army.
The military boots on his feet made a clattering sound as they stepped on the ice. He was wearing a well-fitting dark blue combat uniform with a bright yellow crescent moon and four stars on the chest, which symbolized the five islands in Yueban Bay and was the current symbol of the Yueban Bay base.
The hat and clothes were integrated, and the extended brim prevented the rain from blowing on his face, making him look less disheveled. The slim-fitting clothes made him look inviolable. All the weapons on his waist were replaced with swords, and with his upright posture, he had an eight-meter-high aura.
"Is this a newly made...raincoat at the base?" Lu Weiyi was curious.
"Yes, meteorologists inferred that there might be heavy rain in the short term, so we produced a batch in advance, but the quantity was small, so we gave it to those who often guard outside," said Li Zhuang.
As they were talking, seeing that the two groups of people in confrontation were showing signs of fighting, Zheng Jun led Cui Wen and walked to the front with firm steps.
"Get out of the way," he ordered.
The team member who had been using his body to block these people immediately stood up and made way for one person to pass through. Zheng Jun took the lead and looked through the rain in the direction of Zhao Qiang and others.
He moved forward step by step, and the people who were blocking the way retreated step by step, until they finally made way for him.
Zheng Jun and Cui Wen walked up to Zhao Qiang and his companions in the wind and rain, and said to Zhao Qiang directly, "Our base commander asked me to convey that the rocket launcher just now was just a warning. You have fifteen minutes to withdraw from the Yueban Bay roundabout, otherwise it will be a fight to the death."
"Hehe, why do you think you will be the ones who survive?" said a man standing next to Zhao Qiang.
"He is a newcomer to the Changhong base. The previous person in charge died during the migration of the base. After he came up, he has been quite close to Zhao Qiang." Li Zhuang explained the other party's identity and raised his eyebrows, "We have a grudge against him."
Lu Weiyi immediately understood that it was probably one of the teams that Eric had killed. "Why do I feel like you look a little gloating?"
"It's okay." Li Zhuang spread his hands and looked sincere. Seeing that Lu Weiyi was still looking at him with suspicion, he changed the subject and said, "The base should have known that you are back?"
"kindness?"
"They're talking about...the base commander!"
As soon as Li Zhuang finished speaking, he heard Wen Jing next to Zhao Qiang ask, "Which base commander gave the order?"
"The identity of base commander only appears in you and Zhuang Mingxu," said Li Zhuang.
"...What about Ning Yuan? Didn't Zhuang Mingxu promote two deputy base commanders?" Lu Weiyi was puzzled.
"Ning Yuan is the army commander, and the other two are called prime ministers. Our base is now in a state of being without a base commander."
He didn't finish his words, but Lu Weiyi felt as if he understood what he was not saying. They were waiting for him to come back.
Someone was waiting for him in a distant place, which made Lu Weiyi feel that all the journey was worth it.
Zheng Jun did not answer Wen Jing's question, but gave him a meaningful look, "Please stop anyone in your team, no one dares to take action here."
Zheng Jun's voice suddenly became cold and serious, "Then be prepared to fight to the death."
Scanning the familiar and unfamiliar figures in front of him one by one, Zheng Jun proudly turned around and returned along the original path, "Everyone retreat."
"yes!"
Even though they didn't understand what the other party meant, they still carried out the order and followed Zheng Jun out of their defended positions.
Meanwhile, teams from other places that were originally in a standoff with the base were also evacuating quickly, and their decisive actions did not give the other side any time to react.
"this……"
"The ice is about to be broken, so let's go back quickly." Li Zhuang explained immediately without waiting for Lu Weiyi to ask, and followed the large group towards the bridge.
Immediately afterwards, a cannon shot was heard from Yueban Bay. The flames that were shooting into the sky were reduced by the rain, but still successfully fell into the nearby sea. The ice layer solidified by the supernatural power exploded instantly, splashing water several meters high.
As the sound came down, artillery shells began to fall in a surrounding pattern around the base, blasting apart all the places where the soldiers in the base were originally standing, and then began to spread outwards layer by layer, as if they would be blown up along with the people if they did not leave.
Without waiting for orders, the teams that had surrounded the base began to retreat, and the leaders of each team looked for the person in charge to ask what to do next.
When I returned to the negotiation room, the previous negotiators were gone, and the only ones left were Ning Yuan and Zheng Jun and Cui Wen who had just returned.
They are also asking about the next steps.
"We lied to them that the base commander is back. If we confront them forcefully, they will definitely suspect that it is an empty city plan. What's next?" Zheng Jun frowned. "The rainy days will definitely not last long. It will be difficult for ordinary people in our base to find a safe place to hide if they leave the base within a short period of time."
Ning Yuan was sitting there leisurely, even putting his legs on the armrest in a very ungraceful manner. When he heard what he said, he said in a relaxed tone, "Who said I was playing the empty city plan?"
"What you mean is..." Cui Wen didn't finish his voice when he saw Ning Yuan raised his chin towards the door that opened again.
The two men turned their heads at the same time, their expressions gradually becoming excited. Cui Wen even stepped forward and pushed Li Zhuang away, ready to reach out and grab him, "Base Commander, you're really back!"
Lu Weiyi held his hand and said with a smile, "You're back."
He looked at the calm Zheng Jun and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It should be."
Zheng Jun was obviously a little excited. After he finished speaking, he stood at attention and saluted. Lu Weiyi didn't even react. Everyone laughed at once.
"Okay, we'll talk about reminiscing about the past later. Let's think about the personnel arrangements first," Ning Yuan said, and assigned Zheng Jun and Cui Wen away. Then he restrained his expression and asked about Zhuang Mingxu.
"Wu Yue and I came back to explore the way. There was a flood next door and we got separated. I will go find him as soon as I finish dealing with this." Lu Weiyi said and asked about his plan.
"We only have a temporary underground city on land. It was built in a hurry and is about 20 kilometers away from here, but the facilities are not as good as the base. Even if we move there now, the situation will definitely not be good in a short time..." Ning Yuan knew that he had come back alone, so he did not insist on guarding the base.
"Then let's hold on to this place first." Lu Weiyi repeated his and Li Zhuang's ideas and estimated the distances to the bases Li Zhuang had given him. "I'll go for a run. If I don't get lost, it'll take at most one day."
"Two days, within two days, I will definitely guard the base," Ning Yuan promised, "So are the personnel still going to evacuate?"
"Retreat to ensure the safety of the large forces. Are there any weapons or the like in the base?" His space storage was already stretched to the limit.
"Bombs and the like, do you need anything else?"
"Yes, and repair the damaged weapons."
"Hide yourself and don't alert too many people for now. Let's go to the weapons warehouse together." Ning Yuan led his men towards the base and asked curiously, "I heard that it has become a completely uninhabited area over there. Are you all okay in there?"
"Apart from the struggles between people, everything else is fine. There have been no natural disasters, and we haven't felt the radiation you mentioned. The electronic equipment..." Lu Weiyi thought for a moment, not sure if there was any damage. "We were still driving half a month ago."
Li Zhuang and Ning Yuan looked at each other and came up with a bold idea. "What do you think about us moving the base there?"
"..." Lu Weiyi turned his head to look at the two of them, "Are you serious?"
"Really, if we weren't afraid that you wouldn't find us when you came back, we would have left long ago." The three of them stepped onto the North Island. Ning Yuan pointed to the side facing the sea. The beach there that originally led directly to the coastline now has a high wall built around it. "You've been away for nearly half a year, and there have been no less than five hundred tsunamis of varying sizes on the island."
"The other three islands were flooded no less than a hundred times. We had no choice but to relocate everyone there. The North Island was also flooded five times." Ning Yuan's voice became hoarse as he spoke. "This year... we can't grow anything at all. The land has been salinized. If we want land suitable for growing crops, we need to transport it from far away. And the mutant animals near us..."
He sighed deeply and asked Lu Weiyi again, "What do you think about moving there?"
"The level of the mutated animals over there is very high. Our temporary base was attacked by SSS mutated snakes, causing heavy losses. Coupled with the conspiracy of other bases, the number of people who survived now is less than half of what it was at the beginning."
Unexpectedly, what they went through was so difficult. Ning Yuan asked, "You can't beat an SSS-level mutant animal?"
"You should know the size of the animals over there. Humans don't have an advantage, and I just woke up."
Ning Yuan nodded and asked about his current abilities, "That bird..."
He pointed into the air, "It's yours, right?"
"Yes, my spiritual body." Lu Weiyi released the phoenix directly. The two could not see each other, but they could see the tall traces outlined by the rain.
"It's a ..."
