What's even more unexpected is that Commander Han actually defected to Yanluo.
Ye Yunxi recalled that when she went to the Fifth Base three years ago, the base commander, Han, was a bit strange, especially the people at the base. There were so few of them, and he looked at them with a very strange gaze.
I didn't think much of it at the time, assuming they were just a little uncomfortable seeing strangers at their base.
So it turns out that this is how the people from the Fifth Base view them.
Chen Zhe was surprised when he heard what Commander Wu said.
"What?! Han, the commander of the Fifth Base, has defected to Yan Luo? This is going to be difficult!"
Commander Wu smiled wryly and said.
"There's nothing difficult about it. After discussions among our bases, we've determined that Han, the head of the Fifth Base, is no longer one of our compatriots because he collaborated with those who harmed our fellow countrymen."
This mission isn't just to eliminate the giant white worms, but also to capture Base Chief Han and bring him to Base One for a public interrogation.
Zhang Haiyi muttered to himself.
"Those who reap what they sow, and the wicked will be punished."
His words made Ye Yunxi, who was standing next to him, glance at him.
Zhang Haiyi felt the gaze, turned to look at Ye Yunxi, and smiled at her.
Ye Yunxi immediately turned back, and then Chen Zhe said something else.
"Public trial? That's great! Let more people see how this base chief, Han, harmed his compatriots."
Fu Heng didn't say anything; he looked at Base Chief Wu and asked.
"Base Commander, when do we depart?"
When Commander Wu heard Fu Heng's question, he replied with a serious expression.
"We'll depart in four days. The troops from other bases will join us at our base tomorrow or the day after, and they will be under your command then."
Also, aside from the people at our First Base, everyone knows you're very capable, but the people at other bases don't. If physical conflict is unavoidable, you can just take them down and teach them a lesson.
After all, it's been several years since the apocalypse, and there aren't many soldiers left. Over these years, it's inevitable that some of them have become arrogant and complacent.
If they can change, then let them go. If they don't, then you'll have to deal with them as you see fit!
Ye Yunxi listened to what the base chief Wu said, which was nothing more than telling them that they should endure what they could, and if they really couldn't bear it, they could be beaten up, but as long as they were alive, that was fine, and it would be a lesson for them.
Indeed, the people at the First Base all knew that they were no ordinary people and that their abilities surpassed their own, which is why the soldiers at the First Base were so devoted to them.
It's normal that other bases don't know. We'll train against them when the time comes, and after this mission, we'll have a better understanding of their strength.
She spoke slowly, “Don’t worry, Base Commander, we know what to do. Since we’re departing on the fourth day, I presume all the bases have already arranged all the resources?”
Commander Wu understood the hidden meaning in Ye Yunxi's words.
"Yes, everything has been arranged. If you are worried about not having enough weapons, Xiao Zhou can take you to the armory to choose some later."
Chen Zhe was excited when he heard that he could go to the armory to choose weapons, but seeing that the others didn't react, he didn't say anything.
Ye Yunxi saw Chen Zhe's impatient look and knew he wanted to go to the armory.
Although she, Fu Heng, Min Yu, and Xuan Yu had an endless supply of weapons, they still wanted to see what the base's armory looked like.
She said, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble the base commander and Uncle Zhou."
Commander Wu smiled and said, "It's just a small matter, nothing to worry about. We're counting on you all for this operation, so please be careful."
When Chen Zhe heard Ye Yunxi speak and then heard that Base Chief Wu had agreed, he looked at her with surprise and excitement.
Fu Heng said earnestly, "We will do our best."
"Alright, I've said what I needed to say. Let Xiao Zhou take you to see the weapons. If you like any of them, just take them. You don't need to report to me."
Chen Zhe said excitedly, "Thank you, Base Commander!"
The base commander smiled and waved to them, instructing Zhou Yuan to lead them down.
Zhou Yuan led Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng downstairs, and Ye Yunxi and the others followed them out.
Behind them, Zhang Jing couldn't help but complain about Chen Zhe.
"Look at you, we're all armed people. The base commander was just being polite. How could you take it so seriously?"
Chen Zhe wasn't annoyed by what Zhang Jing said; he just grinned and replied.
"I haven't seen what a large armory looks like yet. Even if I don't take anything, it would be good for me to see it!"
Before Zhang Jing could say anything more, Zhou Yuan spoke first.
"Jing, don't talk about Zhe anymore. The base commander really told you to go to the armory to choose weapons. He wasn't just saying it casually. Don't worry, when you get to the armory, you can choose whatever you want."
After hearing what Zhou Yuan said, Zhang Jing fell silent, while Chen Zhe chuckled and spoke.
"Then I need to take a good look at what this armory looks like."
Zhou Yuan smiled, said nothing, and led Ye Yunxi and the others to the armory.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the armory, which was made entirely of iron, and there were guards at the gate.
Zhou Yuan took out the base commander's token and showed it to the gatekeeper, who then let them in.
Ye Yunxi and Fu Heng followed Zhou Yuan to the gate, entered the password, opened the iron gate, pushed it open, and led the way inside.
After they went inside, Chen Zhe was amazed.
"Wow! This place is huge, and there are so many weapons! This is truly an eye-opener."
This was also the first time Ye Yunxi had seen this armory, and it was indeed as Chen Zhe had described. It was very large, and there were many weapons; she just didn't know how many weapons Aheng possessed.
Thinking of this, Ye Yunxi looked up at Fu Heng.
With just one glance, Fu Heng knew what was going on in her little head, so he spoke to her in his mind.
"Don't worry, this place is not even one ten-thousandth of what I have. You'll see when you come home with me."
"Really? Then I'll have to take a good look at it then."
"Okay, all my things are yours. Use them as you please. If it's not enough, I'll make more."
Ye Yunxi smiled but did not reply to Fu Heng.
The others were intently examining the armory.
This was the first time Gu Qingqing and Zhang Haiyi had ever seen such a scene; it was truly an eye-opener for them.
Even Zhang Haiyi, who works at the research center, would be astonished by the sight before him.
Ye Yunxi looked at the armory again. The entire wall was lined with small compartments, each containing weapons. Each compartment was separated by a glass partition, and all the weapons were arranged densely.
There are also some display stands in the middle, displaying all kinds of weapons. Big ones, small ones, and the most primitive bows, crossbows, arrows, and so on.
