Chapter 370
The status of the Zheng family is not as good as it was three years ago. This has a lot to do with Ling Shaoyang and Yuan Jing.
The Ling family is more inclined towards the military, while the Zheng family is more inclined towards politics. If there had not been the intervention of the Hope Base and the two martial arts techniques that were made public, the Zheng family would have relied on their status to attract a group of people with special abilities and would have been able to compete with the Ling family in terms of military force. If Ling Shaoyang did not come back, it is not impossible that the Zheng family would have suppressed the Ling family in the end.
But by coincidence, the two techniques, especially the internal energy training technique, were spread to the imperial capital and were first promoted in the army. As a result, when the superpowers rose, the role of the army was not reduced at all. For the common people, they trusted the army more than the superpower team. The situation of the imperial capital base was much better than the original two world lines, and the army played an important role in this.
With the arrival of Ding Yang, the predictive psychic, the Zheng family also realized that the decline of the Zheng family was inseparable from Ling Shaoyang and Yuan Jing. In the future predicted by Ding Yang, there was no internal energy cultivation method at all. The Zheng family could have occupied an extremely important position in the imperial capital by relying on the psychics they recruited, but because of Ling Shaoyang and that method, all these advantages were invisibly eliminated.
Therefore, the Zheng family was the most jealous of Ling Shaoyang and Yuan Jing. Ling Shaoyang had given Zheng Wei a lesson in the past. Now, these two people came to the imperial capital in a grand manner and caused quite a stir, making the Zheng family members even more jealous.
"What are you waiting for? I want Ling Shaoyang to regret going against our Zheng family. Do they really think that they can control those strange beasts and keep Hope Base safe? Ha, I want them to face a messy ruin when they go back!" Zheng Wei gritted his teeth.
"Yes, it's Ling Shaoyang who caused our Zheng family to fall into this situation. The Ling family also relied on Ling Shaoyang's power to suppress us. Now that they have left the Hope Base, it is the perfect time for us to take action. Maybe we can even get the formula of the recovery agent. Then we can also learn from him, Ling Shaoyang, and go to other bases to dominate the mountains."
"That's right. Rather than staying in the capital and being bullied by them, it's better to be happy and carefree outside. Whatever the base does must be done by us."
Finally, the head of the Zheng family made a decision. Although the power of the Zheng family had shrunk a lot, there is a saying that a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and they still held considerable power in their hands. They contacted a group of people privately and launched a conspiracy against Ling Shaoyang, Yuan Jing and the Hope Base.
The atmosphere in the Ling family is quite harmonious. No matter what they thought before, now the Ling family members are very clear that Ling Shaoyang's status is different from theirs. Ling Shaoyang does not need to rely on the Ling family to gain a foothold outside. What's more, Ling Shaoyang and Yuan Jing are indeed outstanding.
The old man specially called the two of them to his study to talk and asked about the arrangements of their base. During the time they were away, it was possible that someone would plot against the Hope Base.
"We all understand what Grandpa said. We made arrangements before we came out. Otherwise, one of us would definitely stay behind."
The old man was very happy to hear his grandson say this. He also gave a reminder and did not continue. After all, Ling Shaoyang was not only his grandson, but also the leader of the Hope Base. As a qualified leader, it was impossible for him not to consider the enemies established in the past three years and the possible actions that might be taken.
In the past two years, there were younger generations of the Ling family who wanted to go to the Hope Base, but they were all suppressed by the old man. The Hope Base can only belong to Ling Shaoyang and Yuan Jing, and not to the Ling family. He sees this very clearly. Only in this way can the entire Ling family have a way out when encountering any situation in the future.
After chatting with the old man for a while, Ling Shaoyang said goodbye to Yuan Jing and the Ling family. They still had to go back to the place arranged for them by the imperial capital at night. Those strange beasts still had to be looked after by them, otherwise the top leaders of the imperial capital would probably not be too reassured.
People from other bases also arrived one after another. They had to give face to the capital, so Wei Ting and his men also came the next day. This included Luo Sheng and his party from Zhongwenzhou, who had dealt with Yuan Jing and his party before, and Jiang Tianyun from the Flame Base. The gathering of so many powerful people in the imperial capital made the people of the imperial capital really lively for a while.
Leaders of various bases gathered together for a meeting held in person by the chief, who explained the seriousness of the matter and wanted to contain the crisis outside the country to prevent it from bringing a greater disaster to China in the future. All participants agreed.
Many photos were shown at the meeting. They were all taken of the actual situation. The Chinese people today could not imagine how miserable the situation outside was. There were also photos of zombies flashing by, which made the attendees stare with wide eyes. What is a zombie? It was clearly a meat mountain monster, a moving meat mountain piled up by many organizations. Such a monster has not appeared in China yet.
"The strongest zombies we know of are at level six, and we don't rule out the possibility that there are more that we haven't discovered yet. The country is completely collapsed, with no resistance at all. These zombies are now on the move, heading towards China, so our best solution is to eliminate these zombies outside the country, so I hope that the various bases can lend a hand."
"This is as it should be. If we allow it to continue, the danger will become even more uncontrollable."
"Yes, please rest assured, Commander. Now that we have someone here, we will not avoid this mission."
None of the delegates were unwilling to go to the battle, and the meeting ended quickly. When the representatives from each base left, Ling Shaoyang and Yuan Jing were called to stay. The leader looked at Ling Shaoyang gently and said, "You have thought about it."
Ling Shaoyang nodded: "It must be that laboratory. We blew up the entire laboratory at the beginning, but zombies don't care about living people. They are the living dead. The virus is most concentrated there, so it's not surprising that such a mutation occurred."
In Ling Shaoyang's opinion, the monster was a mutation formed by the accumulation of zombies and viruses. The mutated zombies were more terrifying than ordinary zombies.
"Now that I know all this, even if the leader didn't tell me, I would go there in person." That was where my original comrades were buried, and their remains were still there. Ling Shaoyang didn't want them to rest in peace after death, so this time he was going there to bring the remains of his dead comrades back to the country.
The chief patted Ling Shaoyang and Yuan Jing on the shoulders affectionately and said, "With you here this time, I can rest assured. I'll leave this matter to you."
"Please rest assured, Chief. We will complete the mission and come back." Yuan Jing also promised.
The two men said goodbye to the leader and came out, and saw Wei Ting, Zhong Wenzhou and others waiting. They did not ask what Ling Shaoyang and Yuan Jing said when they were left behind, but went to find a place to drink and chat, as they would not be able to enjoy such conditions when they set off tomorrow.
Even though it was the end of the world, places like bars could still be found in the imperial capital. A few people went in, ordered a few bottles of wine and snacks, and started chatting while drinking.
After a while, they were disturbed by the noise outside, so they sent someone to go out and take a look. When they came back, they said that the people outside were arguing about who had the stronger superpower now, and were ranking the superpower users. Although the warriors' strength had also improved, the superpower users were undoubtedly more popular. The cool superpower release during battle alone was something that warriors could not match. Warriors seemed much more restrained than superpower users.
However, the number of warriors is larger, so it is hard to say whether warriors are stronger or people with special abilities are stronger.
Wei Ting shook his glass and said, "Who made this? They are trying to sow discord among the various bases, right? So, have they come to an agreement on which psychic is the most powerful in China right now?"
The subordinate said: "The supporters are not the same, so there is no conclusion. That's why the argument is so fierce. However, I think those few people are the strongest, and the others are slightly inferior to them."
"Oh? Who are they?" Zhong Wenzhou asked with interest.
The subordinate said honestly: "One is Nie Kun from the Imperial Capital, a level 5 peak fire-type psychic. One is Liang Wei from the Imperial Capital, also a level 5 peak ice-type psychic. Then there is Luo Sheng from the H City Base, a level 5 lightning-type psychic. Then there is Yuan Jing from the Hope Base. His level of psychic power is unknown, but the monsters he controls are powerful and numerous, so he is the most controversial."
Because the two people behind were present, he looked at them carefully when he said this.
Except for Yuan Jing, everyone else present sneered. Luo Sheng even sneered, "Who came up with this ranking? It's meaningless."
He hadn't been able to beat Ling Shaoyang three years ago, so he didn't think he would be able to beat Ling Shaoyang three years later. Even though it was rare to hear that Ling Shaoyang had personally taken action, that was simply because there was no need for him to do so. Yet, he actually began to doubt his strength.
Ling Shaoyang was not angry at all, and smiled and said: "This kind of list still has a certain significance to participate in, and there is no need to worry too much about other things. Now you, Nie Kun and Liang Wei are all stuck at the bottleneck of the peak of level 5. Whoever breaks through to level 6 first will definitely take the lead."
Wei Ting and the others nodded. That's right. The strongest known superpower level is the peak of level five. I haven't heard of anyone advancing to level six yet. But Luo Sheng asked curiously, "Boss Ling, what's your superpower level?"
There was nothing to say about calling Zhong Wenzhou this. It was because Luo Sheng had become a fanboy of Ling Shaoyang. When he heard Ling Shaoyang's men calling him that, he followed suit. Shouldn't he be glad that Luo Sheng didn't abandon their base and go to the Hope Base?
Ling Shaoyang smiled and said, "The level of supernatural power cannot represent the strength of combat power, so it is meaningless to talk about this."
Luo Sheng actually nodded. Yes, that was absolutely right. The ability level was really useless for Boss Ling. Of course it was different for other people. Not everyone could reach Boss Ling's level. Anyway, no matter what level Ling Shaoyang's ability was, in Luo Sheng's heart, he was the strongest one. Of course, Yuan Jing was equally unfathomable, but who would be the number one between the two of them had to discuss it between them.
Ling Shaoyang didn't care, and Luo Sheng didn't care either. There was quite a commotion in the imperial capital, but the people they supported or disputed with left the imperial capital early the next morning. But it didn't stop them from continuing to support their idols. Among them, the two people in the imperial capital had the most supporters, because this was their home court.
