Jiang Huaisheng had always advocated for a swift counterattack against the humanoid monsters, and of course, he wanted to.
"What does Lord Gu mean by saying this?" He looked at Gu Mingyue.
Gu Mingyue smiled brightly.
“I know of a monster lair. When the next wave of humanoid monster evolution occurs, those humanoid monsters will definitely return there. I want to cooperate with you. If we use weapons of mass destruction, we might be able to wipe them out in one fell swoop.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Huaisheng raised his head, and his aged face appeared several years younger.
"That's great. We hope the base will work with you to take that place."
The two were having a pleasant conversation when the conference room door was suddenly pushed open forcefully from the outside.
"No! I disagree!"
Gu Mingyue looked at the newcomer, a middle-aged man with a rather large belly and jet-black hair, who seemed to be a bit younger than Jiang Huaisheng.
Jiang Huaisheng introduced to Gu Mingyue: "This is Wang Shi, another person in charge of the Hope Base."
Gu Mingyue nodded slightly as a greeting.
Wang Shi was even less polite than her, ignoring her and walking directly to Jiang Huaisheng's side.
“Brother Jiang, our base’s production has not yet resumed. How can we put the entire base’s members in danger because of some wild girl who appeared out of nowhere?”
Wang Shi didn't think much of the two people coming in, but he found someone with enhanced hearing to stand at the door and eavesdrop.
He then heard such explosive news.
Upon hearing the words "wild girl," Gu Mingyue raised an eyebrow slightly. "Since you have a disagreement, I'll be leaving now."
"Wait, stop! We haven't even investigated where you came from yet. Who knows what your intentions are in asking us to attack those terrifying humanoid monsters at this time?"
As he spoke, he winked at the burly men standing at the door.
The burly men in combat uniforms received the signal, their eyes hardened, and a surge of supernatural power welled up in their hands, intending to take drastic measures against Gu Mingyue.
Jiang Huaisheng kept it a secret from Wang Shi's faction, who were unaware of Gu Mingyue's capabilities.
"Stop! This person is not someone we can afford to mess with."
Jiang Huaisheng spoke up sternly to stop them, saying that the base currently had no one who could directly confront the Level 3 Winged Membrane Monster, except for those who used firearms to fight the monster.
Gu Mingyue can easily control several wing membranes by herself; such a powerful person should never be offended.
However, during the days that Jiang Shenglin was missing, many people in Hope Base changed sides and joined Wang Shi's ranks, including the few people guarding the door of the conference room.
They ignored Jiang Huaisheng's orders and continued to use their powers to attack Gu Mingyue.
Upon seeing this scene, Gu Mingyue's lips curled into a cold smile.
After all, it was someone else's base, and she wanted to keep a low profile, but the other party didn't give her the chance!
She instantly released her mental domain, and these burly men, all level two ability users, were completely powerless against her, unable to move at all.
Gu Mingyue turned around and gave Wang Shi a mocking look before sitting back down in her original seat.
"Oh? Manager Wang wants to investigate me? What questions do you have? I can answer them!"
Gu Mingyue placed her hands on the table and looked up at Wang Shi, who stood beside Jiang Huaisheng like a statue.
Wang Shi was horrified to find that he couldn't move his whole body and his head felt very heavy. He was shocked and couldn't even muster the strength to press the alarm button.
Jiang Huaisheng looked around in surprise and was startled to find that everyone around him was under control.
The guards in the conference room were among the top superpowered individuals in the entire Hope Base, yet they were all completely immobilized!
No, he wasn't completely immobile. Jiang Huaisheng was a visual enhancer, and he could capture many subtle movements, seeing that the superhumans were moving at an extremely slow speed.
He realized that this was probably a kind of mind control ability.
No wonder she could control a level three winged monster. Such terrifying control ability was more than a hundred times stronger than the psychic ability users in their base!
I admired her even more.
Wang Shi wanted to ask Jiang Huaisheng, the only one who could move, for help, but Jiang Huaisheng had no such intention. Gu Mingyue, with her abilities, would have killed someone long ago if she wanted to; she probably just wanted to teach Wang Shi a lesson.
Moreover, if Gu Mingyue really wanted to attack them, Jiang Huaisheng couldn't stop her.
Gu Mingyue didn't control them for long. A dark light flashed in her amber pupils, and Wang Shi and the others were able to move again.
"I've been waiting for ages, but Manager Wang hasn't asked anything!"
Gu Mingyue sat in her seat and smiled innocently, as if she hadn't done anything about what had just happened.
Wang Shi was furious at these words. He was panting heavily and looked at Gu Mingyue with a filthy gaze.
He wanted to ask, "This woman doesn't even give me a chance!"
As the head of Hope Base, doesn't he have the right to question a stranger?
The group of burly men at the entrance wanted to call more people over, but Wang Shi almost choked on his breath when he saw them. He quickly waved his hand to stop them.
This woman's supernatural abilities are so bizarre. If they go out to call for help and he gets controlled again, taking his life would be a matter of moments.
Realizing the difference in their abilities, he pulled out the chair next to Jiang Huaisheng and sat down.
"Hehe, Miss Gu looks exceptionally beautiful, but I didn't expect her abilities to be so outstanding as well." He praised her insincerely, trying to regain some goodwill.
Gu Mingyue glanced at Wang Shi. In her previous life, she had stayed at the Hope Base and had met Wang Shi and Jiang Huaisheng. The two had very different personalities.
Although Jiang Huaisheng is a worrier-like old man, he would immediately risk his life for the people.
Wang Shi was different; he was more timid. He said he dared not attack the monster for the safety of the other survivors, but in reality, he was trying to save his own life.
Gu Mingyue smiled gently at Wang Shi, who appeared calm on the surface, but was trembling inside.
In the end, the three of them agreed on a time to attack the monster's lair together. Wang Shi wanted to stop them, but he dared not utter a sound when he met Gu Mingyue's eyes.
In the end, they could only helplessly reach out and shake hands with Gu Mingyue, forming a monster-slaying alliance.
Only after Gu Mingyue had walked far away did Wang Shi dare to peek out of the conference room step by step.
I felt increasingly regretful; I should have known better than to push the door open and come in.
He could still offer some excuses when facing Jiang Huaisheng, but now they have no choice but to send troops.
In fact, the order had been issued long ago, but the local authorities had their own considerations, and Wang Shi kept delaying it as much as possible.
The base is now a mixed bag of members, so it shouldn't be sending out troops to kill monsters in the first place. Every time there's a battle, people will die. He's doing it for the good of the base!
...
Gu Mingyue stayed at the Hope Base for two days.
I bought some firearms with the crystal cores, packed up my equipment, and prepared to leave.
In the past few days, Jiang Huaisheng and she have almost become close friends despite their age difference. They share the same ideals, and Gu Mingyue has not kept her trip to the Black Domain a secret from him.
Jiang Huaisheng: "Lord Gu is indeed impressive and has great ambition. I really hate that I am just a visual enhancer, otherwise I would definitely go with you."
