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, it was so wealthy 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 Three. I'm representing Base Three in this transaction with Base One."
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, then casually glanced at Li Cang: "I haven't heard of it. You have to queue up 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 using an excuse. The rules for soldiers defending the city clearly stated that no one could cut in line without approval from above.
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? Get out of here!"
"There really are all kinds of people these days. Here comes someone who doesn't understand what people are saying."
He had always lived a life of luxury and was the most popular person in Base No. 3. He had never suffered such humiliation before, and his face immediately turned red with anger.
Song Xin stood up and defended him, feeling distressed. "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 a few hundred people lining up, and they weren't afraid of the little girl at all. They immediately retorted, "You're quite arrogant, little girl. What? People from Base Three don't have to queue? Oh my, you're so arrogant! We're from Base One, but we still have to queue."
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 stepped forward, gave the soldiers a standard military salute, and then said solemnly, "Hello, I am from Base No. 3 XXXX. 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 then call out Colonel Pang Long's name, the soldier began to believe 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. Were they really so ruthless?
Although the captain felt aggrieved, he still lined up with his brothers honestly for the sake of the base.
There is no need to be too particular about hunting the three teams, just line up.
The members of the hunting team looked at the captain who was so angry that he was about to explode, and followed him silently. Queuing up at this time would only make the captain unhappy.
Fifteen minutes later, just when it was almost their turn, Colonel Pang arrived hurriedly.
He was dressed casually and immediately turned around to greet Bai Feng, bypassing the impatient Li Cang. "Hello, hello. I'm so sorry. I thought you guys wouldn't arrive for a few days, and since I've been on vacation recently, I forgot to tell my subordinates. I'm so sorry. It's our first time meeting, 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'm Bai Feng, the captain of Hunting Team Three."
"Colonel Pang! Our Captain Li Cang is the one 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 extended his hand to Li Cang: "So it's Comrade Li. My apologies."
"Heh." Li Cang chuckled coldly, glanced at Colonel Pang with contempt, then rolled his eyes and looked away, his hands motionless.
Seeing that Li Cang didn't leave his side, the dissatisfaction and disdain on Colonel Pang's face flashed away. He turned around and said to Bai Feng with a formal smile: "Everyone, please move to the inspection entrance. Once you are sure you are not injured, you can go in."
A powerful dragon can't defeat a local snake, so everyone can only appease Li Cang first and not make things too ugly. Moreover, Base One has at least twice as many psychics as Base Three, so they are not considered powerful dragons.
Colonel Pang watched the huge group of people enter the inspection gate and immediately turned his face cold and ordered his subordinates, "You will be responsible for receiving them from now on. 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'm 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. I have no right to know his personal schedule." Pang Zhimu said with a cold face.
Several people were frustrated. It seemed that Base No. 1 was not very welcoming to them...
Li Cang was almost on the verge of exploding. This base was truly too rude! If it weren't for the mission assigned by his godfather, he wouldn't have compromised so much.
Three days later, after enduring a series of neglect and cold stares, everyone was finally able to start their return journey.
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 3,000 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 heartbroken. She must help him become the most powerful person! A wonderful person like him deserves the best!
Li Simeng was also a little gloomy the whole way. She had always thought her brother was the most powerful, but it turned out that he was just so-so...
Team Three, on the other hand, was quite happy. They'd made some friends at Base One and even acquired the latest laser weapon, which was much better than the one from Base Three, with less recoil and a longer-lasting effect. They didn't have to wait for it to cool down after just three shots.
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 had been promoted to level four!
The second team went out twice these days, both times choosing 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. Previously, 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: Okay, okay, I'm so upset after going on a mission...
There was a lot of discussion in the base, saying that Zhang Xiaobai replaced Li Cang as the most powerful person, and the second team would be upgraded to the first team soon, so Li Cang and his team could only give way to the second team.
Li Cang was furious after hearing this and immediately wanted to use the points he earned from this mission to redeem crystal core upgrades. However, he was told that the base didn't have that many in stock. He could only let them go out and kill them themselves...
