The Xuanwu Base team arrived quickly; the day after receiving the news, a force comprised entirely of artificially created superhumans had already reached the border of the Oasis Base.
Without giving the Oasis Base any time to react, the team directly charged the defense line. Combat tanks, combined with supernatural bombardment, breached the Oasis Base's border defense line in just over ten minutes!
Jing Yi glanced at the approaching, menacing group and immediately ordered, "Retreat."
Without the slightest hesitation, the troops at Oasis Base abandoned the border defense and quickly withdrew.
Seeing this, the commander of the Xuanwu base sneered: "Playing this trick again!"
"Commander, should we give chase?"
"With a massive army pressing in, are you really going to abandon the attack because of some petty trickery? Chase them!"
However, Fang Qingdai, who was observing from the shadows, discovered that at the very front of the group were actually a group of ordinary people who did not exhibit any supernatural abilities!
Fang Qingdai sneered. This was the solution the Xuanwu Base had come up with?
Ordinary people stand at the forefront, and no matter what ambushes or traps there are, lives will be sacrificed!
The team charged in aggressively, but to the surprise of Xuanwu Base, while the ordinary people in front did not step on the ambush, the team felt a tremor on both sides!
The commander of the team paused, glanced to the side, and saw rolling yellow sand, trembling ground, and surging roars of beasts. What else could it be but a beast tide?
"How could there be a beast tide?"
"It's Qingdai from the Oasis Base. She already had the ability to control beasts!"
It's no secret that Fang Qingdai can control alien beasts in the wasteland, but no one knows that she can control such a large number of alien beasts at the same time!
That scale of attack could cause huge losses even if it were to storm a base, let alone an attack on a team that has no cover!
"Defense! Earth-type ability user, defense!"
The team at Xuanwu Base was visibly panicked, but they quickly erected layers of earthen shields under command. Although these could not completely stop the charging alien beasts, they provided some cover for the ability users to take cover and fight back.
But to their surprise, the beasts were not a riotous mob that had lost its mind. Instead, they were like an organized and disciplined army, moving in unison to the left and then to the right.
With such a large and clearly defined charge, those makeshift earthen shields couldn't hold them off for long!
"Metal-type ability user with super-metal hardening!"
Layer upon layer of metal shields were stacked on top of each other, which temporarily halted the beast's charge, giving the team a brief respite!
The commander of the Xuanwu base had a fierce look in his eyes. After scanning the horde of alien beasts, he decisively ordered: "Don't let these beasts hold you back. Some of you cover the rear, the rest of you charge forward. There are no alien beasts blocking our way!"
He inwardly scoffed at the fact that the Oasis Base was indeed run by women, displaying a woman's kindness and a heart full of false compassion.
It's just a group of ordinary people standing in front, yet they manage to restrict all the traps directly in front of them. What could be a cheaper "weapon of war" than this?
However, when the Xuanwu base team directed the ordinary people in front to charge forward, they found that the beast hordes on both sides instantly turned around and surrounded them!
"Keep charging forward, don't stop!"
"The Oasis Base won't harm ordinary people, so don't be afraid!"
The commander stood in the center of the troops, shouting orders, the mockery in his voice completely drowned out by the noise of the battlefield!
The ordinary people in front, after a slight hesitation, actually gritted their teeth and rushed forward!
"ah!"
The charge only came to an abrupt halt when an ordinary person was bitten in half by a monstrous beast!
"Qingdai, I'm just an ordinary person! You can't let those beasts eat us!"
"It's eating people! A monster is eating people!"
The team, who had been fearless just a few seconds ago, realized that this oasis base was different after being mercilessly trampled, torn apart, and devoured by the alien beasts!
The commander of the Xuanwu base was startled!
How is this possible? If the Oasis Base didn't care about the lives of ordinary people, how could it have allowed a team led by ordinary people to rush into Oasis territory?
Fang Qingdai coldly observed the bloody scene outside, her face showing no extra expression.
She was indeed more tolerant of ordinary people. When the wasteland descended into chaos, she set a precedent by taking in all ordinary people who were willing to migrate, providing them with accommodation and ways to survive.
Because she was once an ordinary person herself, she can easily understand how difficult it is for ordinary people to live in chaotic times.
She convinced herself to accept the flaws in ordinary people and give them another chance to learn.
But you only get one chance!
At that time, Oasis Base issued a notice that it was willing to accept ordinary people who were affected by the war and had nowhere to go. In addition, ordinary people who came to Oasis Base continued to spread information about stability. Anyone who wanted a peaceful life would definitely rush to Oasis Base regardless of everything!
Those who stayed behind are basically unwilling to live ordinary lives, distrustful of the newly emerged Oasis Base, deeply brainwashed by the God-Making Plan, and always dreaming of a chance to soar to the top. For various reasons, they chose to stay!
Perhaps some are genuinely unable to leave due to various difficulties, but Fang Qingdai believes that such people constitute only a small minority.
After all, there was a three-way war at that time, and ordinary people were not taken seriously. If you were determined to leave, you could crawl out even if you didn't have legs!
They were so weak they couldn't even crawl, let alone participate in the battle!
Therefore, these ordinary people never trusted the Oasis Base from beginning to end. They had their own choices, and Fang Qingdai simply respected their choices and dealt with the invaders as a matter of course!
But her actions quickly provoked public outrage, and amidst the uproar, countless people hurled insults.
"Qingdai, you will die a horrible death! You can control the beasts, and all the beast tides in the wasteland are controlled by you. You are the common enemy of the wasteland!"
"Qingdai, how could you lay a hand on ordinary people? Your Oasis Base is full of liars. The ordinary people you've swindled will become your bloodsuckers sooner or later!"
"Oasis Base is hell, and the people there are all demons!"
Amidst the rousing hurls of abuse, Fang Qingdai heard a somewhat familiar voice!
Her mental energy swept across the crowd and she quickly found a somewhat familiar figure.
After scanning the person up and down several times with her mental energy, Fang Qingdai was astonished to discover that the person was actually Zhang Chengjie!
Compared to the composed and spirited Zhang Laoda when they first met, Zhang Chengjie now has a missing arm, and his body and face are covered with burn marks. His voice has also become hoarse and unpleasant, which is why it took Fang Qingdai a long time to confirm his identity!
He was also one of the ordinary people who chose the Xuanwu Base.
It seems that he has not regained his superpowers as he wished, and is instead living a miserable life.
Even so, he still stood firmly on the side of Xuanwu Base. Even when facing the danger of death, he was still cursing at Oasis Base and Fang Qingdai!
What exactly did the Xuanwu Base promise them?
