Commander Wen didn't say much and came out with another professor.
Han Lie stood behind Shangguan Wan early in the morning, and then Commander Wen came out and stood on the steps at the entrance of the stairs.
"Everyone, thank you for coming. Today is the opening ceremony of our Southwest Base. Starting tonight, we will open the door to welcome all survivors." After he finished speaking, everyone applauded. It seemed to be a very righteous thing, because in the end times, being able to do this is the happiest thing for the survivors.
"Everyone here tonight is an elite from all walks of life. I believe you are the same now, with superpowers, and are also one of the strong ones. Now that our base is open, we will recruit a large number of people with awakened superpowers. And the stronger the superpower, the better the place you live and the food you eat." Commander Wen threw out the temptation.
Shangguan Wan knew that this was the case in her previous life, so she didn't react much. Han Lie also knew about it from Shangguan Wan early in the morning and was not surprised. The rest of the people were talking about it, some said good things and some said bad things.
"The opening of the base will save many people, which is a good thing."
"That's not necessarily true. Many people are very capable, while some are just ordinary people. Why should we protect those people?"
"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Why are you so selfish?"
"You are not selfish, why don't you save her?"
There was a lot of discussion and noise for a while.
"Everyone, don't worry about this problem, because everyone who enters the base has to pay protection fees, and this protection fee is two-thirds of the food in their hands. Those who don't have it can't enter. As the saying goes, there is no order without rules. Every family has its own family and every country has its own laws, so we will also set rules. Your worries will not be a problem at all." Commander Wen looked at the crowd who were talking and persuaded them, looking like he was serving the people and the country.
If Shangguan Wan and the others hadn't heard what he did behind his back, they might have really believed him.
After finishing the topic, Commander Wen raised the glass in his hand and drank with everyone, then opened the food to entertain everyone.
Shangguan Wan and the others had already eaten, and they didn't have any thoughts when they saw those hungry people scrambling for food, because they understood that this was the law of survival, and the strong would get it.
Commander Wen looked at the people fighting for food with a mocking smile on his face, but when he turned around and saw Ye Chen and the other four, he was stunned. But in a flash, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. Not bad.
Such a king is worthy of making close friends.
Commander Wen walked down the stairs and came to Ye Chen, "Mr. Ye, why don't you go have dinner together?" The tentative words made Ye Chen frown slightly.
"I'm not yet at the point where I need you to entertain me." He looked at Commander Wen with contempt in a completely disdainful tone.
Some of them have spatial abilities, so they have never lacked food.
"Yes, I'm being abrupt." He then glanced at Shangguan Wan, his eyes lighting up. What a beautiful woman. Her flawless fair skin, rosy lips, straight nose, and captivating eyes—to the point of captivating a whole nation—couldn't even begin to describe her beauty.
"Mr. Ye's female companion is extremely beautiful, no, perfect." Commander Wen said politely with words of praise.
Shangguan Wan glanced at him with cold eyes and ignored him.
She looks like an icy beauty.
This made Commander Wen's heart beat even faster. What a beautiful woman! Just think about how wonderful it would be if she could blossom under him.
Han Lie naturally saw Commander Wen's obscene look, and stood in front of Shangguan Wan unhappily, blocking Commander Wen's gaze.
A fierce murderous intent flashed across Han Lie's deep and narrow eyes, like a knife piercing Commander Wen's eyes.
Commander Wen's leg muscles trembled slightly when he was looked at by Han Lie, but these eyes seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them.
Shangguan Wan saw Commander Wen frowning at Han Lie, afraid that he would recognize Han Lie, so she patted Han Lie's shoulder and said, "You are ignorant, leave."
The sound was light, cold, and as crisp as pearls falling on a jade plate, which instantly made Han Lie's anger disappear. He silently took two steps back and stood beside Shangguan Wan.
"What's your name, ma'am?" Commander Wen looked at Shangguan Wan with great discernment. Seeing the way she had just given orders to Han Lie, he understood that these two men should be the woman's bodyguards. Since they could have Ye Chen, the world's largest arms dealer, accompanying them, their identities must be very high.
"This is the daughter of our old friend, don't ask too many questions." Ye Chen summarized it but also warned him that she was not someone you could greet.
"Yes," Commander Wen replied calmly and then tactfully withdrew.
Shangguan Wan, Ye Chen and the others sat for a while and then went back. It was really boring.
