Chapter 375
No one dared to speak for the Zheng family. They had already done their best by secretly sending out a message in advance. If the Zheng family could run fast and leave the imperial capital, they would have a bright future ahead of them.
It would be fine if what was done in private was not exposed, the infighting in various bases has never stopped, but when everything the Zheng family did was laid on the table, no one dared to speak for the Zheng family, and no one dared to be labeled as anti-human. Once it spread out, they would definitely become the public enemy of all survivors.
Under the order of the highest leader, the relevant departments immediately rushed to the Zheng family and the forces colluding with the Zheng family. At that time, even ordinary people could feel the tense atmosphere in the imperial capital. When people heard that a peak level six zombie monster had just been solved and a large-scale zombie tide had been avoided, they were happy, but then they found that the situation was wrong again.
The Zheng family did receive the news in advance, but it was too late for them to escape due to the time difference, because the places of entry and exit must have been notified and would not let these people pass. Once they appeared, they would be immediately detained.
However, because of the return of Ling Shaoyang and Yuan Jing, as well as Yuan Jing's unfathomable reputation, the Zheng family had arranged in advance to transfer some of the Zheng family members. At the same time, they told these people not to seek revenge, but just pass on the Zheng family. If nothing happened to the Zheng family, they would bring these members back later.
When the door of the Zheng family was kicked open, the head of the Zheng family instantly aged more than ten years. His hair, which originally had only a few white hairs, turned completely white in that instant, and his waist became hunched.
Of course, he didn't think he had done anything wrong. He didn't think there was anything wrong with using the drugs developed by the Zheng family to deal with the Hope Base. In his opinion, the winner takes all. It was because he underestimated the strength of Ling Shaoyang and Yuan Jing that the Zheng family suffered a major setback. If the Zheng family was the final winner, who would stand against the Zheng family?
Some people were unwilling to be arrested and wanted to escape, but unfortunately, they were pointed at the muzzles of crystal energy guns, and they were so frightened that they dared not move.
On this day, the relevant departments of the Imperial Capital acted swiftly and decisively. In addition to arresting and trying all members of the Zheng family, they also uprooted several small forces and issued a reward. Because Jiang Tianyun of the Flame Base and several other small bases were also involved in this incident, the Imperial Capital announced that it would send people to take over the Flame Base and other bases, and listed the various crimes of the Flame Base and other bases.
No one tried to rescue the Zheng family, and as for those who had been sent out beforehand, they turned a blind eye. Although there was a vast sea and sky outside, was it really that easy to survive? And they also had to be careful not to run into the hands of the Hope Base.
After the arrest operation was over, the imperial capital officials made the incident public. The announcement revealed the crime of the gang headed by the Zheng family for deliberately destroying the Hope Base. After knowing the truth, the people gasped and shouted for their arrest. They said that the officials did a good job in arresting them this time, and those who did not care about the lives of ordinary people should be executed.
Just to achieve his own goals and satisfy his own selfish desires, he would use any means necessary to lure strange beasts into the city, disregarding the innocent people in an entire base. Such people deserve to go to hell.
The once high-handed power of the Zheng family collapsed and disintegrated in just one day. Even the innocent members of the Zheng family, who were released after the trial, would become the rats crossing the street and be hunted down by everyone in the imperial capital.
Ling Shaoyang expressed satisfaction with the Imperial Capital's swift and decisive actions, and then arranged for people to escort those imprisoned in the Hope Base to the Imperial Capital for trial together.
At this time, the people in the Hope Base also realized that they were almost in danger. Someone actually wanted to take advantage of the absence of the two leaders to come to their Hope Base to cause trouble. Fortunately, the leaders made proper arrangements and did not let the enemy succeed. While they were grateful, they also gnashed their teeth at the forces headed by the Zheng family. This was a matter of life and death for them. How could they not hate them? If the Zheng family dared to appear in front of them, they would be so angry that they would rush over and tear them to pieces.
Afterwards, many people spontaneously sent the exotic animals' favorite foods to the exotic plant garden to express their gratitude, especially to the three-tailed beast who made the greatest contribution. The exposure of this matter made it even more popular.
Everyone thought that all the captured people had been sent away, and only a few people knew that Ling Shaoyang actually left one person behind, and that was Wu Qifeng. After he and Yuan Jing came back, they found that Wu Qifeng was among those captured. There was really no surprise at all. It was Jiang Tianyun who sent people to participate in the operation but did not show up in person. However, the result waiting for him would not be very good.
If Wu Qifeng was able to be captured, it was also thanks to Sanwei's action. Otherwise, if someone else wanted to capture him, many people in the base would be implicated, and they themselves would not be able to avoid being injured. However, Sanwei pinned Wu Qifeng down with one claw, and he could never turn over.
When Ling Shaoyang found Wu Qifeng, he said nothing. He turned a deaf ear to Wu Qifeng's shouting behind him. He gave Wu Qifeng so many chances, but he chose to go down the road of death. He was a completely different person from his brother. He believed that if Wu Qifeng was still alive, he would not be able to tolerate such a selfish brother.
Wu Qifei died in battle to protect China and its people, but his younger brother Wu Qifeng colluded with the Zheng family and wanted to kill innocent people in Hope Base. Such a brother is a disgrace to Wu Qifeng.
In the middle of the night, Wu Qifeng suddenly fell asleep, and even he himself did not notice anything unusual.
After he fell asleep, someone took him out. There would no longer be a person named Wu Qifeng in this prison, and all traces of his existence would be erased.
When the sun rose the next day, Wu Qifeng finally woke up. As a person with special abilities, he still had the alertness he should have. As soon as he opened his eyes, he found himself in a mountain instead of the cell where he had slept before. He quickly turned over and jumped up, but this was an extremely simple action for him, but he stumbled forward and fell to the ground with a mouthful of mud. Then he saw a pair of legs standing in front of him.
Wu Qifeng looked up along the leg, and the person looking down at him coldly was none other than Ling Shaoyang.
"What did you do to me?" Wu Qifeng was so surprised by what happened just now that he quickly checked his condition.
Soon he found that his whole body was in a state of weakness. He wanted to release his superpowers, but not even a spark came out. The familiar and unusually powerful energy in his body did not appear at all. He looked at Ling Shaoyang in horror: "What did you do to me? You blocked my superpowers? Ling Shaoyang, this is the only trick you can play. If you have the guts, let me go and let me fight you openly!"
Ling Shaoyang turned around and said, "Do you know where this is? Are you really worried about your elder brother? As a younger brother, you should know best what kind of person your elder brother is. If your elder brother were still alive and knew what you did, how would he treat you?"
"Stop talking nonsense! My elder brother is dead. If you have the ability, give him back to me!" Wu Qifeng shouted angrily.
Ling Shaoyang sneered, knowing that what he said was like talking to a cow: "Your elder brother is in the hill in front of you. I brought your elder brother's ashes back and buried them with his dead comrades. This is the highest position in the Hope Base. Your elder brother will witness the end of the entire apocalypse and the birth of the new century from here."
"Haven't you always wanted to know how your elder brother died? You think I was the one who killed your elder brother. Well, today I will tell you how Qi Fei died." This was a secret that could not be told before the end of the world. In the end of the world, Ling Shaoyang couldn't remember how many times he had mentioned that past event. He believed that even if the original body was here, he would let go of his past burdens because of the things happening in the end of the world.
"…This is the whole process. I was lucky to survive. Of course, I don't mind if you don't believe me. Today I just want to let you know why your elder brother died and what his younger brother did. Also, from now on, Wu Qifeng no longer needs to exist. The person who survived is called Fengqi. This is your identity certificate. From now on, just be an ordinary person in Hope Base. Come and see your elder brother and his comrades when you have time."
After Ling Shaoyang finished speaking, he threw down something and turned to leave. This thing was an identity certificate within the base, which recorded the identity information of the holder and the points for passing through the base.
"Come back!"
"Give me my powers back!"
Wu Qifeng wanted to catch up, but he fell again after taking a few steps. His physical condition made him very uncomfortable. How long had it been since he felt so weak?
"I told you, from now on you will be an ordinary person. I have destroyed your supernatural crystal core."
"No--"
Not only the crystal core was destroyed, but also his dantian, so he couldn't even practice internal strength. Ling Shaoyang completely cut off his retreat, forcing him to live as an ordinary person under his protection in the Hope Base from now on.
Even if Wu Qifeng wanted to kill him, for Wu Qifei's sake, he would not let Wu Qifeng die, but he would not let him continue to act recklessly under the name of Wu Qifei's brother and ruin Wu Qifei's reputation.
Wu Qifeng didn't believe it at first, but no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find his superpowers. He wanted to practice superpower techniques, but found that his body couldn't retain the energy. His superpowers were really destroyed, damn it!
Wu Qifeng hated Ling Shaoyang so much that he wanted to tear him to pieces and destroy the hill in front of him, but he ran into an invisible wall and could not get in or touch the hill. How could Ling Shaoyang leave this loophole for him to exploit?
Wu Qifeng fell into despair, and only then did he regret that he should not have provoked Ling Shaoyang. If he had been an honest younger brother of the eldest brother, he would have had Ling Shaoyang as his backer and would have been prosperous all his life. Why was he not satisfied with the status quo and had such a big ambition, thinking that he could replace Ling Shaoyang and reach the same height as Ling Shaoyang in his previous life?
He stumbled down the mountain, wanting to ask Ling Shaoyang for help, perhaps there was a one in ten thousand chance that he could recover his superpowers. Unfortunately, Ling Shaoyang was not someone he could see whenever he wanted. The long-lost feeling of powerlessness made him dare not step out of the base again. When the points in his ID card were used up, he had to find a job to earn points. His past glory and power seemed to be just a dream.
