Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Fang Qingdai laughed: "Whether you let go or not is none of my business."
"It's not like I have nowhere to hide."
As she spoke, Fang Qingdai suddenly flashed into the space!
Everyone was shocked, and only when they saw the horde of strange beasts rushing towards them did they suddenly realize what was happening!
Fang Qingdai is a space-type ability user!
Her team members are all safe and sound in his space, which is even safer than inside the base!
Fang Qingdai went into the space and suddenly popped out again. Then, amidst everyone's astonished expressions, she accurately found the few people who had been speaking up for her, grabbed them one by one, and sent them into the space!
"I couldn't bear to see everyone sacrifice in vain, so I made plans to evacuate everyone from the front lines. If the authorities didn't accept you, I would take everyone into the space to hide. But seeing that everyone is willing to live and die with the stronghold, I won't be the bad guy. Good luck, everyone!"
Before anyone could react, she flashed into the space again!
How could I forget that this person is a space-type ability user!
Everyone couldn't help but feel regret. Shouldn't they have never intended to make her the scapegoat in the first place? She was so kind-hearted, actively helping everyone hold off the monster and creating an opportunity to escape. She certainly wouldn't have let everyone be devoured by the monster...
If they had spoken a little slower, could they have hidden under her wing like the others who were brought into the space?
Seeing the wavering of people's hearts, Zhu Lingfeng's face turned ashen!
With the horde of monstrous beasts looming before him, he still shouted, "Open the door and let our companions in!"
The unexpected turn of events instantly filled everyone with a sense of relief, replacing their initial regret!
Although Fang Qingdai has a spatial ability, going with her means being destined to be on the opposite side of the authorities. After this battle ends, we may not even be able to return to the base!
That won't do. People who are kicked out of this base won't be accepted by other bases either. They'll end up as bandits in the wasteland, with nowhere to go!
They can survive, but what about their families?
Everyone was incredibly relieved that they hadn't chosen Fang Qingdai!
Fang Qingdai watched from inside the space and saw that everyone had been released before the arrival of the beast tide. She breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't help feeling depressed!
Well, she was furious at being betrayed, so she went all out to stab them in the heart, to poke Zhu Lingfeng in the sore spot, and to openly provoke him.
Everyone knew that Zhu Lingfeng's command was flawed; he showed no regard for everyone's lives.
Everyone knows that Fang Qingdai withstood the pressure.
Despite such blatant provocation, everyone still succumbed to the base's tyranny, fawning and cautiously begging for mercy, betraying her in exchange for a chance to live.
Fang Qingdai wondered if they felt any pain when they did that.
When Fang Qingdai saw them regretting missing out on the space, she wasn't as cheerful as she had imagined.
They were all cautiously exploring ways to survive. They would naturally regret missing a chance to live, since life is fragile and how many chances do they have to make the wrong choice?
After Zhu Lingfeng opened the door and let them in, everyone was overjoyed. But they didn't know that once inside, they would likely become test subjects to be chosen at will. They had made the wrong choice again and still couldn't control their own destiny.
Perhaps it's not that people in this era are too mercenary and cold-hearted, or that they are as selfish, self-serving, faithless, and lacking in cohesion as Fang Qingdai thought.
It is a way of survival that people have repeatedly tested and found while living under the rule of a powerful authority.
If those in power are kind and benevolent, and capable of leading everyone to a peaceful and worry-free life, why would they have so many schemes and plots?
If the authorities are worthy, people's hearts will naturally be strengthened, cohesion will be established, and faith will take shape.
To put it bluntly, that's just how the world is; ordinary people have no choice but to go with the flow and cautiously explore one path to survival after another.
Just like when they first arrived and encountered the invasion of strange beasts, the people in the shack area tried to use the lives of people from other areas as a defensive line in order to survive.
In the end, the inner area still fell, and they could only desperately beg for support from the base.
Can't everyone see the base's delays and indifference? Everyone knows it perfectly well, but after the base sends troops, everyone still has to pretend to be endlessly grateful and sing praises of the base's might!
Fang Qingdai sighed repeatedly, and Huang Changming was equally troubled, scratching his head in frustration!
"What are you doing!" Xiao Mao couldn't stand his scratching and rubbing, the movements of which could be felt even in the dark, and said irritably.
Huang Changming was even more worried: "No, we're now completely at odds with Zhu Lingfeng. He'll definitely report this to the base and label us deserters and traitors. Will we be expelled from the base?"
Xiao Mao rolled his eyes resentfully: "So what if I'm expelled? I don't want to live in the same base as a bunch of filthy people!"
"You're so carefree. Your dad is the leader of the superpower group, so your expulsion won't affect him much. Your aunt is also a valuable healing-type superpower user, so the base probably won't make things difficult for her. But what about my mom?"
“My dad is still locked up. If he gets punished even more severely because of me…” Huang Changming angrily grabbed his hair and made it look like a bird’s nest.
Fang Qingdai listened quietly. This was probably what those people were thinking. Everyone had concerns, and they dared not choose to betray the base unless absolutely necessary.
If Fang Qingdai hadn't intervened, everyone would have truly chosen to fight the alien beast to the end amidst hatred and sorrow. It wasn't that they cared much about the comfort of Outpost No. 4; they were just afraid that leaving without permission would implicate their families.
Huang Changming was impatient, and the other rescued superhumans were equally worried.
Xuan Liu and Xuan Ba were filled with a low pressure!
They came from the center of power and grew up alongside the base commander. They watched the base commander worry about the base's development, and their sense of belonging to the base was stronger than anyone else's.
The thought that this incident might lead to their expulsion from the base caused both of them great pain and confusion.
Fang Qingdai sensed a variety of emotions and slowly sighed.
“It’s alright. If the base holds us accountable, just push all the blame onto me. You can’t resist being trapped in my space. I’ll take Qingluan away from the base, and then they’ll have nothing to say.”
She had originally planned to leave the base eventually, but not yet. She just wanted to stay and develop more connections so she could do more research on that organization.
We now have a way to find out the whereabouts of the original owner's parents, so leaving now is not a big deal.
I just don't know what exactly happened in Linguan City. I hope the appearance of those wilderness bandits doesn't affect our safe havens...
Fang Qingdai was already planning her arrangements after leaving the base, but Xiao Mao and Huang Changming said in unison, "What nonsense are you talking about? Are we the kind of people who are ungrateful and betray our teammates?"
Xuan Liu and Xuan Ba also hurriedly expressed their opinions: "What you did this time was not wrong in the first place. It was Zhu Lingfeng who had ulterior motives and maliciously sabotaged the superpowered team. Even if it was reported to the base, it is not necessarily you who will be held accountable!"
The people rescued by Fang Qingdai also spoke up: "If the base wants to hold us accountable, we will definitely testify for you!"
Everyone was on the same page, firmly standing by Fang Qingdai's side and refusing to push her out to take the blame!
Fang Qingdai was touched. After thinking for a long time, she said, "Things might not be so bad after all..."
