Hua Mi turned and walked into the Xiangcheng base, while Gong Yi raised his hand to close the door.
The parents rushed up to argue with Gong Yi and Hua Mi, but they were stopped by Yang Honglin's group.
"Don't cause trouble outside our Xiangcheng base, or you'll be disqualified from entering our safe zone. That's the settled matter. You have to accept the punishment for your mistakes. Go back and properly educate your children."
The parents were scolded until their faces turned red, and in the end, they had no choice but to push their children back to the safe zone.
Qu Shiheng sat in the chair with a gloomy face, holding a string of Buddhist prayer beads in his hand. He listened to the parents recount what had happened while fiddling with the beads.
He remained silent, and the parents dared not speak either.
The children in wheelchairs were even more at a loss for words, looking at Qu Shiheng with apprehension.
Because of his bad mood, the scars on Qu Shiheng's face looked especially hideous and terrifying.
Do you know where you went wrong?
Qu Shiheng asked the children in a cold voice.
The boys shook their heads. Qu Shiheng picked up his wine glass and threw it at the boys, scaring them so much that they cowered and looked like they were about to cry but dared not.
"Your mistake was that you exposed your ambitions too early before you even achieved your goals. I told you long ago that you are pawns I placed in Xiangcheng. Your future holds unlimited possibilities. We cannot limit ourselves to the present; we must look to the future."
"If any one of you could make Hua Xiu Ning devoted to you, her childhood sweethearts, after you come of age, this Xiangcheng base would be secure. But what have you done? Take a good look at how you've ruined my plan."
Qu Shiheng was quite annoyed, but he quickly calmed down. After all, it was still early, with more than ten years to go. He could still find suitable children to enter the Xiangcheng base and get close to Hua Xiuning.
Now that this plan has failed, Qu Shiheng quickly came up with a newer, more effective plan.
"Are you sure Hua Xiu Ning is just an ordinary person? Without any special abilities?"
Qu Shiheng asked very detailed questions, and the children described in detail how they bullied Hua Xiu Ning, but Hua Xiu Ning did not resist at all.
This child doesn't just seem like an ordinary person now; her low intelligence is a major weakness.
The parents of the children standing nearby seemed quite unconvinced, but when they learned from their children that Hua Xiu Ning was indeed mentally challenged, they felt much more at ease and balanced.
Even if they are not as good as Hua Mi and Gong Yi as parents, and can only be bullied by Hua Mi and Gong Yi, so what?
At least their child is more normal than Hua Xiu Ning, that's enough.
After confirming that Hua Xiu Ning was indeed an idiot, Qu Shi Heng laughed.
"Is there a forest of mutated plants near the safe zone recently?"
A subordinate stepped forward and said, "It is said that the forest of mutated plants has grown to a considerable size. Several groups of superhumans went in, but they all died inside and never came out again."
Qu Shiheng pondered and said, "I estimate that Gong Yi will soon make a big move at the Xiangcheng base."
Generally, once the Xiangcheng Hotline receives feedback from survivors, the mission center will issue a mission to summon ability users to resolve this hidden danger. However, if too many ability users are killed or injured, then the Xiangcheng base's trump card will inevitably have to be used in the end.
Everyone knows that the reason why Xiangcheng Base is safe is not only because of the several indestructible high city walls on the outside, but also because of the Xiangcheng garrison led by Gong Yi, which is an ironclad team of all-powerful superhumans.
Legend has it that every garrison is staffed by a high-level superhuman.
The parents of those children immediately asked, "Commander, what do you suggest we do to vent our anger?"
Qu Shiheng lit a cigarette with a gloomy look in his eyes and stared into deep thought at the fish tank opposite him, which had no fish.
One downside of this apocalypse is that everything mutates, which is very frustrating, but it also gives people endless opportunities to climb the social ladder.
As long as you are capable and ruthless enough, you won't fail to reach the top.
As expected, after sending in five more teams of superhumans, the Xiangcheng management analyzed the reasons for the previous failures and decided to send garrison troops to the increasingly thriving mutated forest near the safe zone.
Gong Yi has been extremely busy lately, as has Hua Mi. She has to attend more than a dozen meetings a day, meeting with people from various management levels to discuss how to formulate a logistics supply plan.
The missions at the mission center are also quietly changing. Originally, they issued missions offering generous rewards to those with superpowers, asking them to eliminate mutated plants in the mutated forest.
But right now, all the missions at the mission center are sending ability users to eradicate the mutated root systems near the mutated forest...
Finally, it was time for the main garrison to depart. Hua Xiu Ning squatted on the second floor, her two little hands gripping the second-floor railing, looking pitifully and longingly at Gong Yi, who was dressed in full armor downstairs.
With a worried look on her face, she called out in a soft, sweet voice, "Daddy, can you not go?"
Gong Yi thought his daughter was reluctant to part with him, and his heart softened as a father. He left Hua Mi, who was fixing his uniform, and ran upstairs to hug his daughter tightly.
"Daddy will be back soon, there won't be any danger, don't worry. When Daddy comes back, he'll bring you a really big doll, okay?"
Hua Xiu Ning's little hands clung to her father's neck, her eyes filled with sorrow, "I want to go with Daddy."
"That won't do. The mutated forest is too dangerous; it's not a place for the little princess."
He patted Hua Xiu Ning's head with his large hand, placed her on the ground, and then looked at Boss Gong beside him.
"Take good care of your sister, and don't let anyone bully her again, or your father will beat you up."
Look at his attitude towards his son and daughter. His daughter is like a little princess, while his son is like a little guard by her side.
But Gong Laoda didn't think there was anything wrong with it. It was his own sister. If he didn't take responsibility for protecting her, who would?
After Gong Yi left, Hua Xiu Ning remained in the same worried posture, squatting on the second floor in her white princess dress, pitifully gripping the railing with both hands.
Her adorable face made Gong Yi's heart ache. He couldn't bear to part with his little darling, and he couldn't bear to leave her either...
Cao Feng, who was driving, looked at Gong Yi, who was on the verge of tears, and his hands were trembling as he gripped the steering wheel.
"Boss, are we going to eradicate mutated plants? Is it that dangerous?"
This atmosphere doesn't seem right; it's like a life-or-death separation.
