A few kilometers away from the B City base, in the mountains and forests, the Qiyuan base's vehicle was rapidly advancing towards the B City base when Yang Songming received a message on his radio.
Upon hearing the report from his subordinate, Yang Songming, who was in the car, frowned deeply. Lin Ruo? How could she be at the B City base?! What a coincidence! Could it be that she's cooperating with the B City base again, and that she was setting a trap for the Qi family from the very beginning?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but no matter why, the battle ahead was already decided. Even if he led his men into the B City base now, he would not only fail to solve the Qi family's problem, but would also suffer heavy losses just like the Qi family.
At this moment, the scales in his heart had completely tipped. He immediately picked up the walkie-talkie in the car and said in a deep voice, "We're not going to the B City base. Turn the car around and go back to the base."
Those superhumans driving breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the order over the walkie-talkie. They all knew the level of battle they were going to the B City base for, and how difficult it would be to return unscathed. Being able to turn their cars around and go back was definitely a good thing for them.
The convoy immediately changed direction and headed towards the Qiyuan base.
Meanwhile, the Qi family's superhumans finally fought their way out of the B City base and escaped. This time, they suffered heavy losses, with only a little over a hundred superhumans escaping.
Qi Junwei, covered in blood, got into the car and led the Qi family's team to quickly move towards the western mountain peaks. The eastern mountain peaks had too many mutated plants, and they had suffered heavy losses and were simply unable to cope.
This battle injured many of the Qi family's superhumans, and many others were already at their limit due to excessive use of their abilities. They even chose to avoid mutated plants and animals they encountered on the way.
Qi Junwei sat in the car listening to Qi Fengyuan's angry rebukes, his head down and not daring to speak. Qi Chengkai sat in the passenger seat, his hand still dripping blood.
Originally, he and Chen Yu were evenly matched, and he could even be said to have the upper hand. However, the ice-type ability user suddenly joined the fray, and her occasional ice arrows shot at him were impossible to defend against.
Even though he had honed his evasive skills to such an extent, he was still pierced in the shoulder by an ice arrow. Fortunately, his mental abilities interrupted Chen Yu's continued attack, otherwise he would probably have been killed at the B City base.
Once Qi Fengyuan had finally relieved his frustration, the car had already reached the shore. The space-type ability user quickly got out of the car, took out the large ship from his space, and the Qi family quickly boarded the ship and headed towards the opposite shore.
Qi Fengyuan had already been helped to the cabin to rest. Qi Junwei and Qi Chengkai sat in the wheelhouse. Qi Junwei sat there for a long time with a grim expression before walking to the ship's radio equipment to contact Yang Songming.
During the time it took to make the radio call, his expression grew increasingly grim, as if he were thinking about something. Soon, Yang Songming's voice came from the other end, "Patriarch Qi, are you contacting me at this hour because the Qi family is safe?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Junwei nearly flew into a rage. He now suspected that this was a trap set for the Qi family by the B City base in conjunction with the Qiyuan base. "Base Chief Yang is truly cunning; he actually outsmarted us! This move of killing two birds with one stone is really quite clever."
Yang Songming touched his nose on the other end of the radio and chuckled gently, reassuring him, "What are you saying, Patriarch Qi? My men had just arrived outside the firebreak at the B City base when they saw Patriarch Qi leading his men out. There's no point in us rushing in now, so we have no choice but to retreat. I believe Patriarch Qi can understand."
"Good! Well done!" Qi Junwei's eyes blazed with fury. This time, his Qi family lost more than half of its ability users, which was a devastating blow. Yet, Qiyuan Base did not waste a single soldier and still managed to cause B City Base to lose so many ability users. He never knew that Yang Songming was such an excellent chess player.
Yang Songming smiled calmly, "Patriarch Qi, please calm down. We did gain something this time. At least the B City base did lose quite a few ability users, and their base leader was also injured."
Qi Junwei snorted coldly. What kind of gain was this? What use was it to the Qi family now?
Yang Songming didn't hear a response from the other side, smiled and continued, "Don't worry, Patriarch Qi, our Qiyuan Base will never abandon our allies. Once the Qi family has settled down, send me a message and we will definitely provide material compensation. The agreement we reached before will not change. As long as I get what I want, I will naturally help you."
"Besides," Yang Songming paused here, "who else can you turn to besides cooperating with me? Didn't the Wang family just make their stance clear?"
Qi Junwei's face was ashen. Mentioning the Wang family only fueled his anger. The Wang family had already taken over the former H City base as their main base. They had only come for the trade fair. Who would have thought that when they were locked in a fierce battle with the B City base and were even gradually exhausted, the Wang family would step in to help the B City base? Such despicable behavior was truly infuriating.
Hearing the heavy breathing sounds coming from the other side, Yang Songming lowered his voice even further, "Don't worry, Patriarch Qi, I still have a backup plan. As long as the Qi family stays on my side, Qiyuan Base will not let the Qi family suffer any losses."
"I hope so."
When Yang Songming hung up the phone, he specifically instructed Qi Junwei, "Patriarch Qi, there's something I want to tell you. Don't go looking for trouble with that superhuman named Lin Ruo. She's too powerful. If the Qi family provokes her, and she seeks revenge, then our Qiyuan Base will be powerless to help you."
Qi Chengkai was having his wounds bandaged by the person next to him when he heard Yang Songming's words and couldn't help but look at Qi Junwei, whose face was ashen.
