Shangguan Wan listened to Han Lie's words and slowly calmed down. She felt that something was wrong. He asked Han Lie to go out and kill zombies to protect them, but why did he give Han Lie a woman? Was he trying to create conflict between them? Or was he trying to sow discord between them?
Shangguan Wan broke free from Han Lie's arms and sat on the sofa, thinking about things without saying a word.
Han Lie wanted to go up and continue explaining to Shangguan Wan, fearing she would be angry with him. However, seeing Shangguan Wan staring blankly ahead, lost in thought, he decided not to interrupt.
Everyone looked at the dazed Shangguan Wan, even their breathing became shallow, but they themselves were not quite sure why.
a while
"Go and call Fang Yuan." Shangguan Wan regained her composure and said coldly.
"Yes." Lone Eagle went out subconsciously.
After a while, Fang Yuan and Gu Ying appeared in front of them.
"Have you heard anything valuable recently?"
"No."
"Just keep monitoring, especially anything related to virus research, and report it immediately." Shangguan Wan looked at Fang Yuan and ordered coldly.
"Yes, by the way, sister-in-law, I vaguely heard someone agree to do something for him that day. I didn't hear what it was exactly because he might have taken off his clothes." Fang Yuan suddenly remembered something after Shangguan Wan finished the order and reported it quickly, not knowing whether he had heard it wrong.
"Promise to do something for him?" Shangguan Wan murmured softly.
"Could it be that the virus research was promised to him?" Han Lie thought of the people controlled by Commander Wen and asked subconsciously.
"It's possible."
"What virus and promise are you talking about? I don't understand a word of this." Dongfang Shuo was confused after listening for a long time.
"It's like this. Since you're already in our team, you're one of us, so I won't hide it from you. We came in once when the base was just built, and we overheard Commander Wen capturing a virus researcher who specializes in studying zombie viruses, how to control zombies, and how to use awakened people to make profits for himself, and he wanted to get rid of us by the way." Shangguan Wan's words seemed to be explaining to Dongfang Shuo, but in fact, she was talking to those who didn't know the situation. At the beginning, only a few of them knew about this, and now it's time to tell them so that they can be mentally prepared.
"Impossible!"
"No way."
Doubts soon emerged, and many people did not believe it, thinking that this was just Shangguan Wan's wording.
Shangguan Wan was not annoyed. She took out the monitoring equipment from the space and played the words recorded that day. Those who had originally questioned her only felt a pain in their faces.
Because they all knew that it was Commander Wen's words, and he said it so harshly and meant it so ruthlessly. They didn't expect Commander Wen to have even taken them into account.
This person is really scary.
"Moreover, he wanted us to go out on a mission today with the intention of killing us. Because I found you first and recruited you, which disrupted his plan, so he wanted to use the zombies to kill me." Only then did Han Lie reveal Commander Wen's purpose for today.
Many people looked at the people who went with them today, and when they saw them nod, they all lowered their heads and stopped talking.
"You better be careful during this period. Since he wants to get rid of us, then we will play with him. We are not afraid of not being able to kill him." Shangguan Wan smiled bloodthirstily, and spoke with the tone of a demon stepping on corpses.
It makes people feel that anyone who encounters her will die miserably.
"He probably wouldn't do anything to them. It might just be people like us. Grandpa was attacked at that time, and they must have been his people."
"Um"
"This matter is not easy to resolve. We can't touch him yet." Shangguan Wan suddenly said this, extinguishing the rage among the crowd.
"Why?" someone wondered.
"Because he is now supported by everyone in the base, we are walking on thin ice." Shangguan Wan was right. They can now fight against the soldiers, but they have not fought against the people in the base. If they do, the people in the base will definitely help Commander Wen. At that time, they cannot fire at other people. This is the most troublesome part.
Chapter 253 Unable to Move
"For the time being, we cannot take any action. We have no evidence and we are still cooperating on the surface. If we provoke trouble, the people in the base will think we are trying to rob their homes. We can only be restricted by him for the time being. Let's wait a little longer." Han Lie analyzed the disadvantages in a deep and cold voice.
Everyone calmed down and thought about it. It was indeed true. Commander Wen had established a base and was open to everyone for protection. If they openly resisted, I'm afraid we would not be confronting Commander Wen, but everyone in the base.
They can't be as heartless as zombies, so they can't kill innocent people indiscriminately.
"So what do we do now?"
"Are you not going to do anything?"
"Go, Eagle, get the mission list. We'll take the mission. We'll do the same as we usually do now. But everyone needs to be extremely careful." A strange light flashed across Han Lie's deep eyes.
It would be fine if Commander Wen didn't hurt them, but if he did, don't blame him for being merciless.
"Yes" was heard in a resounding voice, followed by orderly footsteps that gradually faded away.
"Now that the base is heated, you must work harder to integrate into it and pay attention to getting all the information you can. Even if it's just a dead rat, you must find out how it died. Do you understand?"
Han Lie's sharp eyes swept across everyone.
"I understand" in unison and loudly.
"Each of you teams must carefully check your tasks. You can only set off after everything is done correctly. Every team must have all their special abilities. Don't be careless."
"yes"
"By the way, let me explain briefly. Not all the zombies are in the snow anymore. In other words, many of them have already emerged from the snow, so don't be careless. Zombies don't have body temperature and aren't afraid of the cold. The snow just temporarily trapped their legs and feet the past two days. Now they've adapted, so they've naturally emerged from the snow." Shangguan Wan suddenly remembered this as everyone was preparing to go down to rest, and she hurriedly began to explain. She also felt a tinge of regret, for having almost harmed them through her carelessness.
"Han Lie, Lone Eagle, Goshawk, Old Eagle, Z, C, you stay here, we have something to discuss." Shangguan Wan called out their names one by one, and let the rest go down to rest.
"Why did they all stay, and what about me?" Dongfang Shuo was dissatisfied with Shangguan Wan. Why did they stay and not him? Now that he had joined them, why did she want to avoid him? What could she not say to him? I insisted on staying and listening. I won't leave. I won't leave.
Hum(ノ=Д=)ノ┻━┻
The words "I'm very angry" were clearly written on Dongfang Shuo's handsome face.
"I knew you wouldn't leave. It doesn't matter whether you stay or not." Shangguan Wan smiled cunningly and teased Dongfang Shuo. She always felt that she had a special feeling for him.
"You..." Dongfang Shuo glared at Shangguan Wan fiercely, sat down on the sofa far away from Shangguan Wan, and stopped talking.
In fact, he didn't know why. Ever since that dream, he felt heartbroken from time to time. He always felt that the person in the dream was related to himself. But now, looking at the person standing in front of him intact, so lively and smart, his heart was no longer painful, but a kind of inexplicable relief.
As soon as he followed her, he didn't want to leave her at all and felt reluctant to do so. However, he thought it might be related to the previous dream!
"Okay, everyone step back. Let's talk about forming teams. We have ordinary people in each team now, and it's impossible to protect them with superpowers. So we are responsible for their safety now. Do you have any good suggestions?" Shangguan Wan regained her cold expression and asked in a calm voice.
"They have to go out and kill zombies, because relying solely on us collecting crystal cores is not enough to cover their basic expenses."
"But if they go out without superpowers, they will die."
"That's not necessarily true. They can fight against level one zombies, but we can resist level two or superpowered zombies."
"But I can't pay attention enough, so I'll always get hurt."
“…”
Everyone in the room was talking and the discussion never stopped.
"It's not that we can't fight back." Dongfang Shuo suddenly spoke, attracting everyone's attention.
"You can use a gun." Dongfang Shuo sat lazily on the sofa with his arms folded across his chest, enjoying everyone's attention.
"But we don't have that many guns and ammunition, and the last time we met Red Eagle and his men, we had run out of ammunition." Old Eagle suddenly spoke up, pointing out the crux of the problem.
"Who said that?" Dongfang Shuo spread his hands and raised his eyebrows and asked back.
That confident and arrogant look brought a smile to Shangguan Wan's face.
"Then, Dongfang Shuo, are you willing to support us?" Shangguan Wan looked at Dongfang Shuo jokingly.
"Who said I would support you? Those are my property. Why should I help you?" Dongfang Shuo ignored Shangguan Wan's playful expression.
In fact, Dongfang Shuo is not only engaged in business, but also has a black background. Without his background, how could he have built such a empire at such a young age?
It's just that no one has explained it clearly.
"Actually, we don't need his help," Han Lie coldly interrupted the exchange of glances between Shangguan Wan and Dongfang Shuo.
That’s right, in Han Lie’s eyes, Shangguan Wan was flirting with Dongfang Shuo, which made him unhappy.
"Are you talking about Ye Chen?" Shangguan Wan understood what Han Lie meant as soon as he said it.
Why didn’t I think of Ye Chen’s existence? He is an arms dealer, how could he be without arms?
"Ye Chen?" Dongfang Shuo's eyes narrowed. How did they know Ye Chen?
"What? You know him too?" Han Lie stared at Dongfang Shuo with deep eyes. Seeing his pupils constricted, he knew that they knew each other and should be related.
"I've met him once." Dongfang Shuo squinted his eyes to hide his emotions and said lightly.
