Chapter 369
After leaving a day for preparation, Ling Shaoyang and Yuan Jing led the team to set off. The departure scene was grand. Not only did the middle and high-level leaders of the base see them off, but a legion of alien beasts also came out, rumbling to clear the way for them, attracting many people to come out and watch.
"The two leaders are going to the imperial capital. I don't know when they will be back. I feel like they have lost their backbone when the two leaders leave together."
"Are these alien beast armies going to move out together?"
"No, I have inside information. The chieftain took the powerful Black Panthers and the three tails to stay in our base to protect us."
"Really? My child loves the Three-Tailed Fox the most. Whenever the Three-Tailed Fox appears, my child asks me to take him to see it."
There were also people from outside who worried, "I heard that the alien beast corps is under the control of the leader. If the leader leaves, won't the alien beast corps rebel?"
Other bases were besieged by alien beasts, but unlike the Hope Base, the alien beasts were used to protect the base. Therefore, a tide of alien beasts would never appear at the Hope Base. This also led to ordinary people who were close to it preferring to abandon other bases and join the Hope Base because they felt safe and secure.
"Tsk, you don't know, right? Since the leader dared to leave Sanwei and the rest of the alien beast army, it means there is no possibility of rebellion. The leader is such a smart and powerful person, how could he not consider these consequences? That means this situation will never happen."
"Yes, isn't the Three-Tailed Beast an ordinary beast? It's no different from a human, okay? Even the Black Panther is the Three-Tailed Beast's subordinate. So with the Three-Tailed Beast around, those beasts dare not disobey. Otherwise, if the Three-Tailed Beast scratches them, they will be crippled if not dead. And the Three-Tailed Beast listens to the leader the most."
"Yes, yes, in the old words, Sanwei is a kind of strange beast that has become a spirit."
There were spies from other bases who secretly sent out these messages. It was a rare opportunity that the two leaders of Hope Base had left. If they didn't take action now, when would they? Who made the things that Hope Base brought out so enviable? How much supplies and technology did Hope Base earn just from the recovery agent?
Little did they know that their actions were noticed by the people in the base and they were closely watching them.
Ling Shaoyang and Yuan Jing only took away twenty people, including ten psychics and ten warriors, without any favoritism. They also took away twenty strange beasts. Even if they didn't use vehicles, these twenty strange beasts could allow the Hope Base to move quickly.
The two did not bring the strongest force of Hope Base with them, because they are the strongest, so the others should stay in the base to take on the task of protecting the base. The purpose of bringing these people out is to broaden their horizons and see the situation outside, and also to train them.
Song Hui and Zou Haiyang were among the traveling personnel. They were very happy to follow the boss. It was obvious that the burden was heavier if they stayed at the base. They did not have to worry too much about their own safety when they followed the boss. Who said that the boss was not strong because he did not take any action?
The journey was not difficult. Two of the twenty strange beasts were flying beasts, which could discover the situation on the road in advance, so there was no danger. On the fifth day, they saw the tall city walls erected outside the imperial capital and the mottled marks on the city walls. These were all traces left by the battle with the zombie monsters.
Almost every base has been attacked by alien beasts and zombie beasts. Especially terrifying are the flying alien beasts and zombie beasts. Every time they appear, they will bring great disasters. Even the imperial capital is not immune. The only exception is the Hope Base. The Hope Base has raised a group of flying alien beasts, who are responsible for monitoring the situation in the air. Once the enemy attacks, they will also fight on the front line.
This makes other bases only envy but unable to learn, because from the end of the world to today, only one person has been found who can control exotic beasts of such a scale. The imperial capital has long wanted to invite Yuan Jing to come. In addition to reasons related to medicine, they also want to find out how he controls those exotic beasts. Once they master the method, they can promote it to other bases.
However, every time they hoped to build the base, they would refuse on the grounds of being busy with affairs. This time, it was the first time that Ling Shaoyang and Yuan Jing would go on a long journey after the base was established.
As the leader of China, the imperial capital has the largest base built after the apocalypse, and it also houses the largest number of survivors. There are quite a few people coming in and out of the city gate alone.
These people in the Hope Base were all coming to the Imperial Capital Base for the first time after the end of the world. They had no free time before as they were already too busy with the affairs of the Hope Base. So they all looked at the city walls and the city gates with great curiosity, and exchanged ideas and opinions from time to time.
Of course, others are the scenery in their eyes, and their group is also a very unique scenery in the eyes of others. There is no other reason. Just the twenty strange beasts are eye-catching and different enough. There are people with awakened abilities who can control strange beasts in the apocalypse, but they all pursue quality rather than quantity. This team has twenty of them. Except for the two flying in the sky, the strange beasts running on the ground caused quite a noise, and the ground was shaking.
"Wow, where did this team come from? I've never seen this before. It's quite a big scene. Could it be that everyone in this team is a supernatural being who can control strange beasts?"
"Look at that big tiger. It's taller than the car next to it. They don't want to bring such a big tiger into the city, do they? If this old man goes crazy, who can control him?"
"I do have a little news."
"What is it? Tell me quickly."
"Do you still remember the Hope Base?"
"Of course I know. Not to mention the initial spread of supernatural power cultivation techniques and internal energy cultivation techniques, just look at the later antidotes and recovery agents. Which one didn't come from the Hope Base? Apart from our imperial capital, the Hope Base is the most famous outside. If it weren't for the end of the world, I really want to go to the Hope Base to take a look."
"Then you have overlooked one thing. Do you want to know the situation of the two leaders of the base?"
"Ah, you're not saying that these people are from the Hope Base, are they? The leader of the Hope Base who can control the alien beast army is among them?"
"Of course, each base has sent people to our imperial capital to participate in an important event. This should be the team from the Hope Base has arrived."
"That's possible, otherwise if there was a team like this, it would have become famous a long time ago."
"Make way, make way quickly. A distinguished guest is coming to our imperial capital. Please do not occupy the important passages." The gate of the base opened, and someone came out to clear the area, asking the crowd of onlookers to retreat and make way for the entrance and exit. More people rushed out from the back, and they looked like they were here to welcome the guests from outside.
Needless to say, the identity of the unique group outside has been revealed; it is none other than the group from Hope Base.
The one who came out to greet the Hope Base group was an acquaintance of Ling Shaoyang and Yuan Jing, Qi Jianxin, who had been to the Hope Base with Young Master Zheng. With him appeared Ling Shaozhang, who was dressed in a military uniform. He was Ling Shaoyang's eldest cousin and the oldest among the younger generation of the Ling family, and of course he was already in his thirties.
Qi Jianxin's gaze moved from those strange beasts to Ling Shaoyang and Yuan Jing one by one, with a smile that was somewhat helpless. The scene of this trip was indeed intimidating. It seemed that they hoped that the accommodation for the group at the base would have to be arranged separately. There must be enough space to accommodate these strange beasts. Otherwise, how would others dare to stay there after seeing these strange beasts?
"Mr. Ling, Mr. Yuan, welcome, welcome. On behalf of the Imperial Capital Base, I welcome everyone from the Hope Base."
"Mr. Qi, you're too polite. We are also very happy to see you again." Ling Shaoyang said with a smile.
Qi Jianxin twitched his lips, he did not forget that he was defeated by Ling Shaoyang, but at the same time, these two were his admirers. He had paid close attention to Hope Base in the past three years. It can be said that Hope Base had its current appearance and status because of these two.
"Shaoyang, long time no see. This must be Mr. Yuan Jing that grandpa always talks about." Ling Shaozhang walked up and patted Ling Shaoyang on the shoulder, then looked at Yuan Jing and greeted him warmly.
"Hello, cousin, I am Yuan Jing." Yuan Jing extended his hand and shook hands with Ling Shaozhang.
Ling Shaozhang did not dare to underestimate Yuan Jing at all. Not to mention the potions he made, just looking at the strange beasts outside, no one dared to provoke Yuan Jing rashly. Therefore, they treated him very warmly and politely, because they hoped that with the arrival of the base, the Ling family would also attract much attention.
Qi Jianxin didn't need to say anything. At Yuan Jing's signal, these strange beasts lined up obediently to enter the city, attracting the amazement of the onlookers. Moreover, the two people leading the team were so handsome, even better looking than the stars before the apocalypse. How come they didn't have any fame before the apocalypse?
The most terrible thing was that the family had already digested it internally, but seeing the two of them walking side by side, smiling at each other and communicating something from time to time, the picture was so beautiful. Not only did these two people have outstanding looks and temperament, they were also the leaders of the Hope Base, and they were in high positions and had great power, which made their halo even more dazzling.
Ling Shaozhang hoped that they would live in the Ling family, but Ling Shaoyang decided to live in the residence arranged for them in the imperial capital first. However, after settling down, he would take Yuan Jing back to the Ling family to meet the old man and other uncles. Ling Shaozhang would not agree to this, and he had never been able to make decisions for Ling Shaoyang, whether before or after the end of the world.
Back then, they were worried about Ling Shaoyang's safety outside and thought about whether they should send someone to bring him back, after all, he was the only one left in his group. But they were stopped by the old man. Later they learned that Ling Shaoyang had established a survivor base outside with the man he liked, and later hoped that the base would become more and more famous, and the Ling family members of their generation would only have to look up to him.
Ling Shaozhang accompanied them all the way. After making a few phone calls, Qi Jianxin took Ling Shaoyang and the others to a vacant place. It was surrounded by the army and the place was spacious. Any trouble could be quickly suppressed. It took a lot of effort to find this place. Yuan Jing smiled and happily moved in with the strange beasts, including the two flying in the sky. He whistled to let them come down. They were always flying overhead, and the bigwigs in the imperial capital must have been nervous.
After settling down, Qi Jianxin went to report the situation. Yuan Jing handed the strange beasts to Song Hui and others to take care of, and he went with Ling Shaoyang to meet the Ling family.
There is no need to worry that Song Hui and others cannot suppress the strange beasts, because after spending a long time together, Black Panther and others can remember the breath of Song Hui and others and treat them as their own people.
On this day, everyone in the Ling family put down what they were doing and rushed back to reunite with Ling Shaoyang. Ling Shaoyang represented not only their nephew, but also the leader of a base, so these uncles treated him and Yuan Jing as peers.
"I've heard from my classmates about the sensational scene at the city gate. Dad, can you ask Brother Shaoyang to get me an exotic beast to ride on?"
The one who spoke was a teenager. As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face by his father: "Mount? You can ask for it, but I can't. Those exotic beasts have their uses. Can I just give them to you? Can you control them if I give them to you? Since your classmate told you about the sensation at the city gate, didn't he also tell you what level those exotic beasts are?"
"This..." The child was only thinking about showing off. He thought how cool it would be to lead a group of mighty beasts out. It would surely make others envy, hate and be jealous of him.
"Humph, I knew you didn't ask carefully. Let me tell you, the lowest level of those beasts is level four, but your ability is only level three. You let a level four beast be your mount? You are tired of living, right?"
"Level four? Uncle, are you serious? What's the highest level?" another junior asked.
The uncle of the Ling family said, "The highest level one is the black panther, probably level five or six. But I heard that the most powerful beast in the Hope Base's Beast Corps is not the black panther, but a pet dog-like beast called Three Tail. It was not brought out this time, and it was said to stay at the Hope Base to suppress other beasts."
“Wow, that’s cool!”
There was a lot of noise downstairs. The old man came down from the study upstairs and looked outside, asking anxiously, "Is Shaoyang back?"
"Dad, Shao Zhang said they'll be here soon. Why don't you go back to the study and wait?" The younger uncle of the Ling family came over to support the old man.
The old man waved his hand and said, "No need. I'll just come down and wait. Shaoyang rarely has the opportunity to come back. I don't know when I'll have to wait for him to come back next time after this meeting. And you have to treat Yuan Jing well. This is the first time that Xiao Yuan has come to our house."
After hearing this, the other people in the Ling family all knew that the old man valued Ling Shaoyang and Yuan Jing more than they thought. However, this was not something that could be gained through envy. If they left the Ling family, could they build such a big foundation like Ling Shaoyang did?
The answer is of course no, and you may not have the courage to do so.
The old man had just sat down downstairs when he heard someone outside shouting, "Here they come, Shao Zhang is back with his men."
The old man immediately stood up excitedly and walked to the door to greet the young couple in person.
The Ling family was bustling with activity. Other forces and families in the imperial capital were paying close attention to the Hope Base's arrival and the sensation caused by their appearance, including the Ling family. For some forces, if they could win over the Hope Base to their side, it would be extremely beneficial to the rise of their status.
At this time, many families envied the Ling family. Who could have thought that the Ling family could raise such an outstanding son? When they looked at their own children and grandchildren who relied on the family's protection, they felt very disappointed. Why couldn't they learn from Ling Shaoyang and build a family business on their own?
