Chapter 177 Undercurrents



On the eighth day after the prison break, Li Weidong was on the verge of madness.

Although he had been tough before, he maintained a calm demeanor, knocking on doors and showing search warrants before entering to conduct searches.

The actions were fairly polite.

But recently, probably because of the pressure from that organization, Li Weidong seems to be resorting to any means necessary. He led his men to search like mad dogs, raiding homes in a ransacking manner.

They damaged many people's belongings, causing widespread resentment within the base.

Fang Qingdai was searched again today.

Li Weidong led his men in and rushed in. It was so sudden that Qingluan was startled.

"What are you doing?" Fang Qingdai's eyes turned red with anger, and without saying a word, she called out to the cat Xiao Teng!

For some reason, after the cat followed Fang Qingdai, it grew even bigger.

The vines, too, grow very rapidly.

These days, cats are golden yellow and huge, almost as big as tigers in the 21st century.

The little vine had grown thicker than a person's waist. The majestic desert cat and the menacing killer vine almost filled the living room. The cat and the vine stared at Li Weidong and his group with predatory eyes, as if they were just waiting for Fang Qingdai's order to pounce on them!

The men Li Weidong brought were startled and quickly retreated from the room, cautiously watching Li Weidong and waiting for his instructions.

Li Weidong's face was dark and gloomy; the smile that was always on his face was nowhere to be seen now.

"You want to openly attack the base forces?" he said sinisterly, his eyes filled with barely suppressed rage!

Fang Qingdai's mood inexplicably improved!

Li Weidong is in such a bad mood because he was treated like a dog in the organization, with no dignity left for him, which is why he came out to vent his anger.

But Fang Qingdai wasn't about to tolerate him: "You want to openly defy the base's rules and use your status to bully those with superpowers?"

Li Weidong scoffed, "What bullying? I'm just searching for a fugitive!"

Fang Qingdai sneered, "This is the fourth time my place has been searched. I cooperated fully the first three times, but this time it doesn't look like a search, it looks like a house raid!"

She pointed to the broken door, her face grim.

"I disagree with your violent search!"

"You disagree? Who do you think you are?" Li Weidong finally tore down the facade of peace with Fang Qingdai in front of everyone: "Guards, this person is not cooperating with the base's search for fugitives and is preventing search personnel from entering. He is suspected of harboring fugitives. Take him away for questioning!"

Fang Qingdai smiled: "Come in and try!"

"Bringing uncontrollable and dangerous alien beasts into the base is suspected of causing a riot. Immediately detain them in Department X and subject them to severe torture!"

Fang Qingdai rolled her eyes: "Either you come in now and take me down, or we'll wait for the base commander to come over and then we can have a proper talk."

The people Li Weidong brought were no match for Maomao Xiaoteng.

Li Weidong has probably reached the threshold of level seven, and may have even undergone modifications by that organization, possessing more than one superpower.

Even so, it would be impossible for him to defeat Little Vine Cat in a few moves, especially since Fang Qingdai had the protection of her space!

As long as they take the initiative, Fang Qingdai can argue that it's legitimate self-defense.

He does have the right to arrest and interrogate suspects, but Fang Qingdai has cooperated with the search three times and has no suspicion whatsoever. This blame cannot be placed on her!

Most importantly, the moment Fang Qingdai heard that Li Weidong had gone mad and started biting people everywhere, she had already edited a message in the chat box with Xuan Liu.

As soon as the person arrived, Fang Qingdai sent out the message: Xuan Liu would contact the base leader and ask him to stop the farce.

Therefore, Fang Qingdai was truly fearless and directly summoned the cat Xiao Teng to confront him!

Judging from Li Weidong and Qingdai's attitude, she must have really contacted the base chief, who should be coming over soon.

He gritted his teeth in anger, his eyes turning bloodshot!

He was trained like a dog in the organization, and in the base, even though he had made a plan over the years to become the leader of the superpower team and gained control of most of the base with the help of the organization, he still couldn't do whatever he wanted!

There will always be someone who can get ahead of him!

Thinking of the organization's ultimatum, a storm brewed in Li Weidong's eyes!

He didn't want to suffer any longer.

If he doesn't handle this matter well, he won't even be able to hold onto the last bit of power he has left.

We might as well go all in and see if we can lift the boulder weighing us down...

Fang Qingdai's brows twitched, and she felt somewhat uneasy.

Judging from Li Weidong's appearance, is he about to completely turn to the dark side?

If he really dares to go all out, he has at least a 50% chance of standing up to the base commander's side!

What if the odds are even higher? What if that organization also steps in to help, regardless of the consequences?

Fang Qingdai's expression darkened, and just as she was hesitating whether to soften her attitude even a little, the base commander arrived!

"Wei Dong, you have really disappointed me." The base commander strode over, glanced at the stalemate between the two sides, and let out a deep sigh.

Fang Qingdai's mind was made up.

It wasn't that I trusted the base commander to stand up to him; it was that I suddenly realized something.

That organization is unlikely to intervene!

Before seeing the true face of Mount Lu, Fang Qingdai was quite wary, speculating about the organization's strength, capabilities, and schemes.

Fang Qingdai did feel uneasy after entering Laboratory Twelve and seeing the group of scientists in black.

That's incredible!

Each person possesses two or three superpowers. With wood and fire elements combined, their fireballs burn much more intensely than those of ordinary fire-type ability users. When combined with wind elements to blow the flames, one person can achieve the effect of an entire superpower squad!

If it weren't for the fact that people in the lab were too afraid to act freely and might destroy their own base, and that there was a group of scientists around, Fang Qingdai's chances of successfully breaking into the prison wouldn't even be one in ten!

But it was precisely because of the power of the technologists that Fang Qingdai was able to be certain that the organization would not take action!

If they really had a large number of those technologically advanced people, enough to fight against the major bases, they would have already dropped the pretense and started fighting!

With a batch of secret weapons, who can't we fight?

But they still hide like rats in the gutter, afraid to face the light, which shows that their army of tech workers is not enough to fight against the base!

Perhaps the number of modifications is not large enough to form an army, or perhaps the superpowers of the tech-savvy individuals are not stable enough to support a battle.

In short, that organization is unlikely to make a move anytime soon!

How extensive their influence is on the surface depends on how tough Li Weidong becomes after confronting the base commander.

Fang Qingdai calmed herself down and quietly observed the subtle expressions on Li Weidong's face towards the base commander.

His eyes darted around sharply, as if he were weighing the pros and cons.

The base commander stared at him intently, showing no sign of backing down or offering any words of leniency.

The silent smoke made everyone present tense, and they unconsciously gripped their weapons, looking at the two bosses in the base with a mixture of bewilderment and nervousness.
