The Suzaku Base personnel, who were welcomed into the Oasis Base, were all awestruck by this fairyland-like place.
The leader, for some unknown reason, suddenly showed a hint of annoyance in his eyes.
"What's wrong, Commander Zhang?"
The newly appointed Chief of Staff, Mao Min, was in charge of receiving the guests. Fang Qingdai was right about her; Mao Min's thoughtfulness surprised even Commander Zhang.
He glanced at Mao Min, who showed no signs of energy fluctuations. Seeing that Mao Min remained upright, neither humble nor arrogant, and even wore a polite smile under his scrutiny, Commander Zhang's expression softened.
He recalled a certain scene and couldn't help but sneer, "Seeing your base reminded me of a certain scoundrel who spouts nonsense!"
Mao Min's eyes flickered slightly: "Commander Zhang doesn't seem like the kind of idiot who would be fooled by lies."
Commander Zhang was frustrated. He didn't believe it, but there were some brutes in the base who were all brawn and no brains who would believe it!
Upon receiving the news, they immediately led a group to intercept the Oasis Base Commander. However, all of their men were wiped out, and the messengers who were left to deliver the message only made it to their doorsteps, explained the situation, and then went with the others!
He's the one who has to clean up this mess!
Even in this base, there are still quite a few people shouting that there can be no reconciliation and that justice must be served for the more than one hundred people who died, otherwise where will the Suzaku Base put its face!
Commander Zhang's face grew greener and greener with each thought!
Actually, he was also angry before, feeling that although his own base members impulsively intercepted the Oasis base leader and provoked him first, the Oasis base leader was still unharmed and left safely.
But who could have imagined that Oasis Base would turn around and send troops to wipe out their forces without a word!
While if the commander of the Suzaku Base were to suffer such an insult, the Suzaku Base would certainly take measures to regain its dignity, but can the Oasis Base be the same?
How dare a small base that has only been established for three years?
In addition, Li Weidong of the Xuanwu Base has been spreading rumors that the Oasis Base likes to sneak around and raid other people's warehouses, which has caused the Oasis Base to be blamed and hate a lot.
Furthermore, Li Weidong claimed that he had personally visited the Oasis Base. He said that apart from the outer Immortal Burial Oasis, which was difficult to enter, the Oasis Base was merely able to survive by relying on the natural protection of the Immortal Burial Oasis, and its actual strength was not that great.
He described the Oasis Base as being almost like a bandit force in a small wasteland. Not to mention that most people at the Vermilion Bird Base disagreed with the peace proposal, even Commander Zhang was initially furious.
However, the Suzaku Base is indeed running out of food. Rather than reconciling with the Oasis Base, the Suzaku Base is even less willing to accept being defeated by the White Tiger or Black Tortoise Bases because of a lack of food!
Therefore, Commander Zhang debated with the assembled scholars, overruling their objections, and finally managed to persuade the other voices in the base.
Who would have thought that he would see such a scene after personally arriving at the Oasis Base!
Who can tell him why the construction of the Oasis Base is so prosperous?
The streets were bustling with people, all of whom looked relaxed and at ease, showing no trace of the fear and despair of those caught in the chaos of war outside.
The base streets are clean and tidy, and there are even some unfamiliar cars cruising around, which looks interesting and convenient.
Beyond the exquisite architecture lies lush greenery; upon closer inspection, it turns out to be vast expanses of farmland!
That's fine, but can someone tell him what the meaning is of the row of airplanes and tanks parked in the Oasis Base plaza?
Deterrence? Warning?
None of that matters!
The important point is that the Suzaku base only has five fighter jets, and they haven't even used them yet in the war, while the Oasis base, a small base, has three?!
And that tank, if I'm not mistaken, is the latest desert combat tank that Qinglong Base just announced a couple of years ago?
How many resources does the Oasis base actually have? How much armed force have they acquired by exchanging food for?
Furthermore, according to the person who went back to report, the Oasis Base Commander is a high-level psychic ability user, capable of instantly killing a level six psychic ability user. Just how high is his/her level?
Li Weidong described this unfathomable force as nothing more than a low-level bandit gang in the wilderness.
Commander Zhang was so frustrated that he couldn't help but complain to Mao Min.
Upon hearing this, Mao Min's eyebrows instantly curled into a contemptuous smile.
"Him? He's just a narrow-minded, selfish, vicious, cold-blooded, and despicable scoundrel. Commander Zhang should stay away from that kind of person. If he gets targeted by a vengeful spirit, he might get his tendons pulled out and his blood sucked!"
Commander Zhang looked at Mao Min in surprise. He really didn't know how an ordinary woman could have such hostility towards Li Weidong.
Have there been any conflicts between the two?
At this moment, Mao Min's eyebrows were raised high, her disdain mixed with undisguised hatred, and her sharpness, which she had suppressed for more than ten years, exploded instantly.
Its sharp, piercing appearance was like a rose blooming proudly in the desert, wild and captivating. Commander Zhang was momentarily stunned and unconsciously stared at it.
When Fang Qingdai arrived, she saw Commander Zhang staring intently at Mao Min with an infatuated expression.
Fang Qingdai: ?
Hey Xiao Mao, come back quickly! Someone's spying on your mom!
No, Xiao Mao's mother is practically her second mother. Fang Qingdai immediately adopted the demeanor of a base commander, and strode over with a stern face.
"This must be Commander Zhang Jie from the Suzaku Base, right?"
Zhang Jie suddenly snapped out of it and hurriedly looked away: "Oh right, cough, I'm Zhang Jie."
"You must be Qingdai, the base commander of Oasis Base? I've come here to apologize for the offense caused to you by our disobedient squad!"
Zhang Jie wanted to slap himself!
Before coming here, he had planned to express his dissatisfaction with the ruthless actions taken against the Oasis base, and then gloss over the matter lightly, thus saving face and achieving a smooth reconciliation.
Who knew that after seeing the development of the Oasis Base and being dazzled by the woman in front of him, his words changed!
He went straight to apologize, what a coward! If those people in the base who were against reconciliation find out, they'll all spit on him and drown him!
Zhang Jie took two deep breaths, thinking he should quickly make amends, but when he looked up, he met a pair of sharp eyes.
"You... Jing Yi?!"
Zhang Jie was both surprised and delighted, and took a few steps forward in disbelief: "It really is you, Jing Yi, you, you're still alive!"
Jing Yi's brows relaxed slightly, and he greeted him calmly, "Long time no see, Uncle Zhang."
Zhang Jie served as the chief of staff at the Zhuque Base. In this battle, he went to the front line with Ma Cheng and served as the deputy commander to assist in the operation.
He was temporarily appointed as commander after Ma Cheng's death.
But he was a civilian official and couldn't go to the battlefield. After leaving someone to hold the front line, he came to the Oasis base to solve the problem without stopping.
Before working with Ma Cheng, his partner had always been Jing Yi!
Jing Yi was the previous leader of the Suzaku Base's Superpower Team!
