But in any case, Zhang Chengjie has already surrendered, and his team will be taken away with him.
Fang Qingdai saw that it was still early, so she decided to go and pick up Zhang Chengjie's people and ammunition.
Because the shantytown is a chaotic place with a large number of people, the base doesn't care. They can first settle a group of ordinary people, while people with high profiles like Zhang Chengjie can wander around outside to avoid attracting attention.
That way, the night won't be too chaotic.
Upon arriving at the shantytown, Fang Qingdai found a space in the small shanty where she used to live, where Zhang Chengjie had been waiting for a long time.
"Boss Zhang, it's been a long time."
Zhang Chengjie turned his head sharply and visibly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Fang Qingdai.
"You've finally arrived!"
Fang Qingdai was somewhat surprised, not understanding what he was so nervous about.
Then he said, "My team members discovered a secret passage at the foot of the city wall. When we were exploring the passage, we encountered a group of people walking through it. Those people were very vicious and opened fire as soon as they saw us. We lost twenty-six brothers!"
Twenty-six!
Fang Qingdai frowned, already guessing that it was that rat-like organization that had dug the tunnel.
That organization is only interested in people with superpowers. If they see an ordinary person and even break into their secret passage, they will definitely kill them all.
"So how did you manage to withdraw?"
Zhang Chengjie's face darkened: "Halfway through the fight, a high-ranking person who looked like a manager came over and said that we were nothing but rats and ants, and there was no need to waste ammunition. He said he would let us leave and let us come out to properly publicize their god-making experiment!"
Although the shantytowns are inhabited by ordinary people who have no practical value, they are the best place to spread information, since there are many people and a lot of gossip.
Fang Qingdai twitched the corner of her mouth.
They really are high and mighty, completely regarding ordinary people as ants.
No wonder Zhang Chengjie was anxious to wait for her. If she hadn't happened to be at the Xuanwu Base and been able to pick them up immediately, those of them who had escaped with their lives but hadn't properly publicized the incident would have certainly met a terrible end.
"If that's the case, how did you get your hands on guns and ammunition?"
Given that situation, it's impossible for them to actually turn the tables and take the loot, right?
When the ammunition was mentioned, a sharp glint flashed in Zhang Chengjie's eyes.
"In order to keep those people at ease, I did promote their bullshit god-making plan after bringing the team back."
Fang Qingdai frowned, but didn't say anything more.
The fact that the organization wants it public means they're definitely going to make it public. Zhang Chengjie and the others said that at most it will make things escalate faster, and positive publicity will only make more people have illusions about that organization.
Who desires artificial superpowers more than the ordinary people in the shantytowns?
People from shantytowns may be useless, but they will certainly be the most loyal believers.
So regardless of whether Zhang Chengjie and the others say it or not, once the news breaks, more than 90% of the residents of the shantytown will immediately join that organization.
Therefore, it's understandable that Zhang Chengjie spoke up to save his life.
"We had barely mentioned the god-making plan when Tian Pingwei came knocking on our door in a panic."
"He asked me if I had made any connections, and how I knew about the god-making project!"
Tian Pingwei was Lu Rui's lackey before. Lu Rui was defeated in his confrontation with Fang Qingdai. The fake Li Weidong would not lower himself to accept Lu Rui's ordinary underlings.
Therefore, Tian Pingwei severed ties with that organization.
Now that his arch-enemy knows about the organization's experiments, Tian Pingwei panicked, thinking that he had to reconnect no matter what.
He was filled with regret. Lu Rui had mentioned an experiment involving the transplantation of superpowers and asked him to find an ordinary person to undergo the experiment. Tian Pingwei was worried about the safety of the experiment and didn't dare to be the first to go, so he sent out his underling Zhao Bin instead.
Seeing that Zhao Bin had actually gained superpowers, Tian Pingwei was insanely envious and kept waiting for the next experimental opportunity, but then Lu Rui got into trouble!
Now that he has the opportunity to reconnect, he is naturally going to seize every chance!
“I asked him for two hundred guns and forty thousand rounds of ammunition, promising to take him to meet the people of that organization tomorrow, and lying to him that I could give him a spot in an experiment.”
“He believed me because my team is now far inferior to his, and he still has contact with Lu Rui’s former subordinates in the base. With a superhuman backing him up, he was certain that I wouldn’t dare to lie to him.”
Because even if the monk can run away, the temple can't. Tian Pingwei never imagined that Zhang Chengjie could disappear overnight, along with his supplies!
"I have a hundred guns and 20,000 rounds of ammunition left in my own team, and I'm handing them all over to you!"
Fang Qingdai smiled.
Zhang Chengjie has always been a smart person.
Through Xiao Mao, he learned more about the organization and some information that Tian Pingwei was unaware of. He then used this information gap to deceive Tian Pingwei.
He was also lucky; the team he joined had Fang Qingdai, a space-type ability user, who was able to send the supplies away and make a quick getaway before Tian Pingwei could receive any other information and become suspicious.
The crucial coincidence was that his team accidentally entered the tunnel at this juncture, made contact with that organization, and was forced to promote the god-making plan. They were discovered by Tian Pingwei's people as soon as they opened their mouths and were stopped from spreading the message further.
Only with the right timing, location, and people could he obtain this batch of supplies!
Three hundred firearms and sixty thousand rounds of ammunition are not a small amount of assets for any organization.
Zhang Chengjie has shown 100% of his willingness to surrender!
Fang Qingdai patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, we'll leave tonight."
After explaining the detailed plan to Zhang Chengjie, Fang Qingdai collected the supplies and then took two-thirds of Zhang Chengjie's team into her spatial dimension.
The rest of the people loitered around his territory, pretending that nothing was happening and that there was activity in the area.
"We'll send you a message before we leave the base tonight. Tell all the team members to get ready!"
After giving Zhang Chengjie his instructions, Fang Qingdai returned to the base.
Xiao Mao found a long wooden box shaped like a coffin, and Lu Hai's body had already been placed inside.
Fang Qingdai put the body into a separate area of the space. Seeing that Uncle Lu was in a daze, Fang Qingdai simply put Uncle Lu in as well, so that he could stay with Aunt Lu beside Lu Hai's coffin.
Worried that the two of them might faint from crying, Fang Qingdai also stuffed Qingluan inside, asking her to comfort Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu.
After doing all this, Fang Qingdai began to manipulate the space, moving between the team members' residences to help them pack their bags, and also taking some inconspicuous team members into the space.
Team members cannot gather together. Although it would be easier for Fang Qingdai to take them away if they gathered, such a large movement would also arouse suspicion.
Fortunately, Xiao Mao had previously asked Li Weidong to designate a dormitory area for the team members to communicate, and most of their team members lived in that area.
Fang Qingdai went door-to-door collecting the goods, and like Zhang Chengjie's team, she left a portion of them outside in disguise.
When the night was deep and quiet, the team members who had been pretending all day turned off the lights and pretended to be asleep, but in reality, the room was already empty.
