Meanwhile, at the base in City B, a hundred kilometers away, chaos reigned. Although they had defeated the Qi family, they had paid a heavy price.
Suddenly, a rumor spread that the base chief had been seriously injured by a superhuman from the Qi family and was still unconscious. Chen Yu and Jiang Yue were now handling the major affairs of the base.
Within a day, everyone in the base knew about the rumor, and it was only getting worse. Helpless, Chen Yu and Jiang Yue had to call a meeting of the base's top management, and they also specially invited representatives from various bases to the meeting.
"Captain Chen, what exactly happened?" Wang Fengyu, the head of the Wang family, sat in the council hall, looking anxiously at Chen Yu, whose brows were furrowed, and asked, "I remember that the base commander was only hit by a metal arrow, how could it be so serious?"
Chen Yu rubbed his temples to hide the glint in his eyes. "Don't worry, Patriarch Wang, our base commander is fine. He's recovered after treatment. He's just not seeing everyone because of his injuries."
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Wang Fengyu's eyes. Although they had only been at the B City base for a short time, their information network was exceptionally advanced. He had already heard that Ye Lin had been transferred to the hospital's intensive care unit. It would be a miracle if he had improved. Chen Yu's explanation was clearly just an excuse to fob them off.
However, he didn't say anything more. Before, the Wang family had helped the B City base, and everyone knew that they were now on the same side as the B City base, so it was not good to undermine them.
The representatives from the other bases around them naturally didn't say anything more. The battle two days ago was still fresh in their minds, and they knew they didn't have the strength of the Qi family to compete with the B City base.
Jiang Yue sat down next to Chen Yu, taking in everyone's expressions. Then he lowered his head and said, "We know what you are worried about. Please rest assured that this trade conference will be held as scheduled. We are already prepared and will not be delayed by anything."
At this point, none of the base's high-ranking officials spoke, nor did they receive any information. They knew that saying anything now would only make things worse, so it was best to keep quiet.
Even if the rumors are true, Ye Lin is only in a short-term coma right now, and Chen Yu and Jiang Yue are still holding the fort, so it has little to do with them.
“Captain Chen, when we fought the Qi family before, there were actually some hidden experts in the base,” Wang Fengyu said, his eyes narrowing slightly as he recalled the battle scenes he had witnessed. “Our B City base is indeed full of hidden talents.”
People from other bases were also standing on high ground and saw the battle below. They naturally saw Lin Ruo's seemingly effortless movements. When they heard the Wang family mention it, Lin Ruo's image immediately came to mind.
At the same time, they were all a little apprehensive. With such powerful combat capabilities at the B City base, coupled with weapons like the crystal energy cannon, they were basically invincible.
Chen Xuyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and turned to look at Wang Fengyu. This old guy was very cunning. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with him, but when the B City base was about to defeat the Qi family, he chose to get involved. What exactly was he planning?
"You flatter me, Patriarch Wang."
With these words, Chen Yu acknowledged that Lin Ruo was their trump card. Wang Fengyu narrowed his eyes and remained silent.
As far as he knew, this ice-type ability user had always been outside the influence of the entire B City, yet he had some connections with the B City base. He originally thought that this person would not accept any recruitment from the base, but the timing of this person's appearance yesterday was too coincidental, making him think more about it.
The meeting lasted only an hour before everyone went back to their own tasks.
Chen Yu and Jiang Yue exchanged a glance before turning and walking toward the office. They had only been in the office for a short time when they received a message from Yang Songming at the Qiyuan Base.
Yang Songming asked Chen Yu anxiously, "I heard Ye Lin is injured. I wonder how serious his injury is?"
Chen Yu and Jiang Yue exchanged a glance, their expressions turning serious. "Base Chief Yang's information network is truly impressive."
"Believe it or not, our Qiyuan Base has received a lot of help from the B City Base," Yang Songming's voice came through the radio, sounding more earnest. "I also want to repay you. You should know that we have a light-type ability user in our Qiyuan Base who has healing abilities. If you want to treat Ye Lin, bring him to the Qiyuan Base, and we will do our best to heal him."
Jiang Yue, who was standing to the side, frowned deeply, but Chen Yu said, "Thank you for your help, Chief Yang. We need to discuss this matter further."
After hanging up the radio communication, Ye Lin came out of the office break room. Chen Yu and Jiang Yue both looked up at him. Jiang Yue was somewhat anxious, "That old fox Yang Songming is obviously up to no good. This trip is definitely a den of dragons and tigers. Base Commander, you..."
Jiang Yue was interrupted by Ye Lin before he could finish speaking, "We've set up such a big scheme just to lure Yang Songming into a trap. Now that we've reached this crucial moment, how can I back down? Only I can act as the bait so that Yang Songming will lower his guard."
Chen Yu, who was standing to the side, also stood up, somewhat disagreeing, "Your safety is much more important than these things. Why get involved in this mess? If you know what Yang Songming is up to, I'll just take the superpower team and bring him back."
Ye Lin sighed, "Qiyuan Base's strength is not to be underestimated now, and there are also forces lurking in the shadows watching us. We must do our best to ensure the safety of the survivors in our base. The trip to Qiyuan Base is tentatively scheduled for after the trade fair."
"The trade conference is in a week. It must be held smoothly, as it concerns the future of humanity."
"We don't know how many forces are involved. Only by going deep into their ranks can we uproot all these cancerous tumors and wipe them out in one fell swoop!"
"The lab said that this extreme heat is not the last natural disaster. We should try our best to eliminate these scourges before the next natural disaster arrives."
Ye Lin originally didn't want to dig too deep, but these people were becoming more and more rampant for power. They didn't even care what kind of disaster this would bring to all of humanity. They only pursued their own comfort and wanted to make all the efforts made by their entire base vanish. How could he allow that!
