Chapter 420 Prestige
There are some things that the person in charge of the west city doesn't know whether he should say.
Rather than an enemy attack, they speculated more that one of their brothers had betrayed them. However, due to the lack of evidence, they needed to conduct a thorough investigation before they could find out the truth.
Eric could naturally hear the other meaning behind his hesitation, and his expression became even uglier. After several attempts of restraint, he refrained from punching him again!
The enemy hasn't even shown its claws yet, but the people here are already fighting among themselves!
If this continues for a long time, I'm afraid that there will be no need for others to make a breakthrough here, and this group of people will just admit defeat.
"Find out before reporting back. Don't make irrelevant guesses. Remember, you are representing the face of the higher-ups now." Eric sighed after giving the warning.
He just hoped that nothing bad would happen tonight.
Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. Whenever he decided to take a break, some bad news would appear.
The bases scattered in the four directions of east, south, west and north have all been attacked. The most important thing is that they have no evidence, while the other party has a special function that is almost like teleportation.
If this matter cannot be investigated thoroughly as soon as possible, I am afraid it will become a troublesome matter that everyone will be worried about in the future.
Eric no longer had the desire to sleep. He quickly walked outside, gathered the people around him, and started investigating.
His number one suspect was naturally the missing Huo Jinzhi!
The suspected person was standing in a corner in the east of the city. The people who used to follow Mu Yun quickly appeared. Their eyes were complicated, but there was no obvious murderous intent. It seemed as if they had gathered together for some urgent matter.
"What... did you do last night?" Huo Jinzhi asked. He could even smell the smell of gunpowder that had not completely dissipated from them.
There must not be any problem with Chen Zhuyi.
"We want to go back with you." As Mu Yun's favored younger brother, Wang Hu rushed directly to Huo Jinzhi and frankly expressed his thoughts, with a strong pleading in his dark eyes.
Such an attitude caught Huo Jinzhi off guard.
"We all want to go home, not to atone for our sins, but to find a way to give our eldest brother a better life."
The others also spoke in unison. When Huo Jinzhi was still a little confused, Wang Hu and others quickly filled in the gaps in his knowledge, feeling a bit proud.
"If that's the case, then I can't let you go. You should know that after returning home, you will have to decide your fate. I have no right to interfere."
After Huo Jinzhi understood the whole story, he refused very decisively.
The tone that did not allow for negotiation was beyond the expectations of Wang Hu and others. They stared at Huo Jinzhi with confused eyes, and were a little indignant about it.
"If we go back, we can also provide you with more things that you want to know but originally didn't have the ability to know. With such good conditions, can you really refuse on behalf of the country?" Wang Hu even made a clumsy threat to Huo Jinzhi.
They really have no other choice.
If he smuggled back again, he might not be able to find Mu Yun. It would be better to be cruel and cooperate with these people with special identities.
Before Huo Jinzhi could speak, a group of people were already walking towards them from a distance. They were obviously martial artists.
He waved his hand, and Wang Hu and others followed his instructions without hesitation and rushed to a nearby corner.
Everyone's hands were placed on their waists in tacit understanding. As long as the person in front of them did anything out of the ordinary, they could take action immediately to clear up the trouble!
The familiar faces at the head of the group made Huo Jinzhi quickly relax.
He even walked out on his own initiative with some helplessness. These were veterans who had retired from the army and came to the lighthouse. They had fought side by side with him countless times and chose to come here in the hope of giving the people of their country a little protection.
"Are you taking action too?" Huo Jinzhi asked Chen Dahai, patting him on the shoulder.
This familiar little gesture made Chen Dahai's eyes redden a little, and he nodded heavily: "We also have some contact with the country. After learning about the situation, we have made some plans."
"Yesterday, Eric sent people on a large scale. We guessed that you would take action, so we simply amplified the panic. This is the last place we planned to rush to."
At the lighthouse, many people didn't dare to make any small moves. Therefore, there were still many people around Eric who were obviously exposed, and they themselves were targets of attack from outside.
Although this group of people did not commit all kinds of evil, their hands were stained with the blood of others. At the same time, they despised the people from the East.
Chen Dahai had many complaints against these lackeys before. He had rescued injured people from these lackeys countless times. No matter what color their skin is, they should have the dignity of a human being.
Huo Jinzhi exchanged a few words with them, and then, led by Chen Dahai and others, went to their gathering place.
Wang Hu and others followed along and got in somehow.
Compared with the scenery on the pioneering land, the basement and the like are more in line with their style. The exquisite mechanism made Wang Hu and others' eyes widen. No wonder they found nothing when they first investigated.
These people were not on the ground in the first place!
Moreover, Wang Hu still remembered that this piece of land belonged to an oriental businessman who fled to the lighthouse. From this point of view, it has long been impossible to distinguish between true and false. Some people seem to be running dogs, but they use their abilities to support their brothers and relatives!
"Who let them in!" Some sharp-eyed people saw Wang Hu, and even though Chen Dahai and others were accompanying him, they quickly drew their weapons and pointed them at Wang Hu and others.
"These are all the running dogs following Mu Yun!"
Someone revealed their identities. Chen Dahai's face turned ugly. He cursed in a low voice and quickly waved his hands at these people, signaling them not to be too anxious.
"Old Huo, tell me what you are talking about." Chen Dahai had to stop and turned to ask Huo Jinzhi.
He has some prestige here, but he can't just let in a few enemies without any discrimination, especially such obvious enemies!
Huo Jinzhi laughed dryly and rubbed his eyebrows.
"Mu Yun is currently on a mission, and they want to join us and return home."
There is no need for much explanation, the two words "go home" are enough to express the homesickness of the East.
Apart from their various hostile identities, they should have been a close family, not offending each other, and even helping each other outside.
