Chapter 84 Cold Treatment
At the same time, Song Xin and his group finally arrived at Base No. 1.
These days, they have gone through a lot of hardships to finally get here.
Looking at the towering Base No. 1 that seemed to stretch as far as the eye could see, envy flashed in everyone's eyes. It was worthy of being the capital, with so much wealth that it directly surrounded the entire city as a base.
I'm afraid Base No. 3 doesn't even have one-fifth of it.
At this time, there was a constant stream of people coming in and out at the city gate, and it was very lively and orderly, as if it was still the same as before the end of the world.
Li Cang walked past the long line and went straight to the soldier guarding the gate: "Hello, I'm Li Cang from Base No. 3. This time I'm representing Base No. 3 in the transaction with Base No. 1."
The confused people who were waiting in line to enter the city looked at Li Cang with dissatisfaction, thinking that he was trying to cut in line, and a group of people pointed at him.
"Next!" the soldier shouted, and glanced at Li Cang casually: "I haven't heard of it. You have to queue up first to enter the city."
His superiors had not told him about this, and the soldiers thought that this was another person who wanted to cut in line with an excuse. The rules for soldiers defending the city clearly stated that no one could cut in line without approval from superiors.
When they heard the soldiers driving Li Cang away, the people in the queue also started to make a fuss.
"Those who cut in line, get to the back of the line!"
"Didn't you hear the soldier say we had to line up? Why don't you get out of here!"
"There are all kinds of people these days. Here comes someone who doesn't understand what people say."
He had always been pampered and was the most popular person in Base No. 3. He had never suffered such humiliation before. He immediately became so angry that his face turned red.
Song Xin stood up to defend him with a distressed look on his face: "We were sent here by Base No. 3 to exchange supplies, not to cut in line! Stop looking down on others!"
There were at least several hundred people lining up. They were not afraid of the little girl at all and immediately retorted: "Little girl, you are quite arrogant. What? People from Base No. 3 don't have to line up? Oh my, you are so arrogant. We are from Base No. 1 and we still have to line up."
Li Cang narrowed his eyes dangerously, and the fire in his heart was about to burst out.
At the critical moment, the captain of the army who led the team stood up, saluted the soldiers, and then said seriously: "Hello, I am from Base No. 3 XXXX, and I am on a mission. Please tell Colonel Pang Longpang to allow us to enter the city."
Seeing the man salute with standard military standards and calling out Colonel Pang Long's name, the soldier believed Li Cang and the others a little, but still said, "Oh, then you guys line up first, I'll tell the colonel."
The expressions of everyone in Base No. 3 were broken for a moment. Even in this situation, they still had to queue up. Are they really so merciless?
Although the captain felt aggrieved, he still lined up with his brothers obediently for the sake of the base.
There is not much to pay attention to when hunting the three teams, just line up.
The members of the hunting team looked at their captain who was so angry that he was about to explode, and followed him silently. Queuing up at this time would only cause trouble for the captain.
Fifteen minutes later, just when it was almost their turn, Colonel Pang arrived hurriedly.
He was dressed in casual clothes, and immediately turned around and greeted Bai Feng, bypassing the impatient Li Cang. "Hello, hello, I'm so sorry, I thought you guys would be here in a few days, and I was on vacation recently, so I forgot to tell my subordinates. I'm really sorry. It's the first time we meet, and I don't know what to call you?"
Bai Feng waved his hand carelessly: "It's okay. Communication is difficult in the end times. I understand. I am Bai Feng, the captain of the hunting team three."
"Colonel Pang! Our Captain Li Cang is the person in charge of this mission!" Song Xin couldn't bear to see his sweetheart being treated like this, and spoke to Colonel Pang angrily and rudely.
The embarrassment on Colonel Pang's face flashed away, and then he smiled and stretched out his hand to Li Cang: "It turns out to be Comrade Li, my apologies."
"Heh." Li Cang snorted coldly, glanced at Colonel Pang with contempt, then rolled his eyes and looked away, his hands not moving at all.
Seeing that Li Cang didn't leave him, the dissatisfaction and disdain on Colonel Pang's face flashed away, and he turned to Bai Feng with a formal smile and said: "Everyone, please move to the inspection entrance. You can go in after confirming that you are not injured."
A powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake, so everyone can only appease Li Cang first and not make things too ugly. Moreover, the number of superpowers in Base No. 1 is at least twice that of Base No. 3, and they are not considered powerful dragons.
Colonel Pang looked at the huge group of people entering the inspection gate, and immediately turned cold and ordered his subordinates: "You will be responsible for receiving them from now on, and just treat them 'normally'."
Seeing the two words that were spoken with particular emphasis, the subordinate immediately understood and saluted respectfully: "Yes!"
When Li Cang and the others came out, they were surprised to see that there was only one person at the door.
The man stepped forward and saluted before speaking: "Hello, my name is Pang Zhi, I am a captain, and I will be responsible for your reception this time!"
Li Simeng asked in confusion: "Where is your colonel?"
"The colonel is on vacation now. I have no right to know his personal schedule." Pang Zhimu said with a cold face.
Several people were frustrated. It seems that Base No. 1 is not very welcoming to them...
Li Cang was almost on the verge of exploding. This base was too rude! If it weren't for the mission assigned by his godfather, he wouldn't have compromised so much.
Three days later, after being ignored and looked down upon, everyone was finally able to start their journey back home.
Everyone was silent along the way. In the past two days, they had witnessed the strength of Base No. 1. Not to mention the various advanced weapons inside, there were actually more than three thousand people with special abilities!
Li Cang could only be ranked in the middle. No wonder he did not receive any preferential treatment even though he knew that there were more than ten people with special abilities coming from Base No. 3. On the contrary, Li Cang lost a PK game with the people with special abilities from Base No. 1 and was ridiculed.
Moreover, more than ten psychics have already reached level four. As the most powerful psychic in base No. 3, Li Cang has to go back to collect enough points to reach level four.
Seeing the devastated Li Cang, Song Xin felt very distressed. She must help him become the most powerful person! A wonderful person like him deserves the best!
Li Simeng was a little depressed along the way. She had always thought her brother was the most powerful, but it turned out that he was just so-so...
On the contrary, the people in Team 3 were quite happy. They met a few friends at Base 1 and got the latest laser weapons, which were much better than those made at Base 3, with less recoil and longer-lasting effects. They didn't have to cool down after firing three times.
The road back had been cleared on the way here, so it only took four days to reach the base.
However, Team One received even worse news: Zhang Xiaobai was promoted to level 4!
Team Two went out twice these days, both times going to cities with few supplies and many zombies.
After seven or eight days of hard work, and with more than 20,000 points left in the team account, they finally gathered enough crystal cores.
Not only has the cooling time of lightning strikes been shortened, but it can now cause fatal damage to level one zombies. In the past, it could only paralyze and slow down their movements.
After the upgrade, it can directly electrocute the zombies in the center into charcoal, and they will be shattered into black ash as soon as the wind blows.
Li Cang: Well, well, I was ripped off after going on a mission (my heart is broken)…
There was a lot of discussion in the base, saying that Zhang Xiaobai had replaced Li Cang as the most powerful person, and Team Two would soon be upgraded to Team One, so Li Cang and his men could only give way to Team Two.
Li Cang was so angry that he wanted to use the points he got from the mission to exchange for crystal core upgrades. But he was told that the base didn't have so many in stock. He could only let them go out and kill them themselves...
