At the Luotong base, a thousand miles away from the B City base, a dozen soldiers patrolled the newly built city wall, carrying crystal energy guns.
Suddenly, a soldier looked into the distance through binoculars and immediately turned around and shouted, "An unidentified fighter jet has appeared ahead. Judging from the markings, it doesn't belong to the B City base. Be on alert!"
The fighter jet was flying towards their base at a very high speed. After it got close to the base, a shout came from the plane: "We are just visiting and have no malicious intent."
The soldiers remained unmoved, their crystal guns already set up, all aimed at the fighter jet's only weak point: the bulletproof glass.
There was no other way; the fighter jet could only land within a kilometer of the base. As it landed, the strong airflow stirred up the dust and sand on the ground, instantly creating a cloud of dust.
As soon as the fighter jet landed, superhumans rushed forward with crystal energy guns and surrounded it. At that moment, the fighter jet's cabin door opened, and ten superhumans disembarked.
They were wearing special military-made combat uniforms, and although they all wore masks, they exuded an imposing aura. The superhumans at the Luotong base were on high alert because they could sense that these superhumans were all of a very high level.
But these people were surprisingly well-behaved after getting off the plane. One of them stepped forward and said in broken Chinese, "We are from the base in the United States and would like to meet your base commander."
Upon hearing that the base was in the United States, the superhumans became even more wary. They couldn't even trust their own people in this apocalyptic world, let alone these foreigners.
But the other party had already said that although they were on guard, they still dutifully reported to the base chief. Not long after, the base chief, Luo Tong, came out with several level-four ability users.
Luo Tong himself was a level four metal-type ability user, and could be considered the person with the highest combat power in this base. However, when he stood in front of the leader of the ability users, he only felt fear and pressure. This person's level was higher than his, and he must have already been a level five ability user.
"Hello, Commander Luo, I am Robert, the deputy commander of the Fourth Army Corps of the United States, currently holding the rank of captain." Robert, who was in the lead, smiled at Luo Tong in a friendly manner and extended his hand.
But Luo Tong only glanced at the man's hand and didn't shake it. "What brings you to our base?"
Robert noticed that many people around them were looking at them, and his smile widened. "I think we should find a quiet place to talk about this privately."
These words seemed very polite, but only Luo Tong knew how strong the other party's aura was. He was completely unable to resist, and was terrified. In the end, he could only nod in agreement.
He led Robert and a dozen or so men into the base. After entering their base, these men kept scanning the surrounding buildings, and a hint of disdain gradually appeared in their eyes. This was the base of Country Z, and it was indeed far inferior to the base they had built.
Luo Tong naturally noticed the expressions on these people's faces, but he clenched his fists inwardly and chose to ignore them.
A few minutes later, they arrived at his office together. Only Rothon and Robert remained in the office; the rest of the people were waiting outside the door.
"Why don't you stay abroad and come to my territory? What are you doing here?" Luo Tong was still annoyed because of what had happened outside the base.
Robert was initially annoyed by Rothon's hospitality, as he hadn't even been offered a cup of tea, but remembering the purpose of his visit, he managed to calm himself down.
"Mr. Luo, please don't be so resistant. We're here to discuss cooperation with you."
"Talk to me about cooperation?" Luo Tong scoffed. He was well aware of the true strength of his base. What kind of cooperation could the US base possibly have with him?
Robert opened his mouth and said softly, "Regarding Lin Ruoneng's ability to awaken superpowers, the secret of her second superpower, and the future status of the B City base and the C City base, I wonder if you are interested?"
"Pshaw, you're getting more and more absurd. No matter how bad the B City and C City bases are, they've never abandoned us. They've always been there to help us in crucial moments. Whatever Lin Ruo knows, it's our country's secret. What does it have to do with you? Why do you think I'll cooperate with you just because you say a few words?"
Before the end of the world, Luo Tong was a businessman. After years of navigating the business world, he was adept at assessing situations and knew exactly who to choose.
Robert wasn't surprised at all by his words. "I guess you don't know this yet, do you? Bases in City B and City C discovered the secret that the apocalypse is about to end a long time ago. Guess why they haven't announced it yet? After the apocalypse ends, don't they want to re-establish their regime? Will your base have to surrender then? After surrendering, will you still have the good life you have now?"
Roth didn't hear what Robert said next; his entire attention was focused on the phrase, "The end times are coming to an end."
"What did you say? The apocalypse is about to end!"
"Yes, the B City base discovered the fact that the land is recovering half a month ago, but they haven't announced it yet and are still manufacturing weapons on a large scale. Can you guess why?"
Luo Tong remained silent. The B City base knew about the impending end of the apocalypse so early, yet they held back. What were they thinking? Thinking about the base he had worked so hard to build, and the carefree and unrestrained life he could live there, he didn't want to go back to the life he had lived under someone else's control.
Thinking about how violently these ordinary people would resist if they knew this news, would he still be able to enjoy his life so peacefully?
No! He must make plans as soon as possible!
"Our country is currently researching new secret weapons. By then, the two mountains you thought were invincible will not be so insurmountable. Are you sure you want them to strike first and successfully take control of all your bases again? To easily seize all the achievements you've made over such a long time? Or do you not want to be the one standing at the very top?"
Robert watched as Roton's expression changed several times, and a confident smile gradually appeared on his face. He said that no one is uncommunicable. People in the apocalypse are selfish. As long as the bargaining chips for cooperation are big enough, they will definitely be tempted.
In his heart, what he said was not meant to sow discord among these Z country bases, but to point out a broad road for them. If they had the opportunity to rise, who would want to remain mediocre?
This time, Luo Tong did not refute, but remained silent. After a moment, he asked in a deep voice, "You make it sound so nice, but what resources can you provide me in the end? It's impossible for me to work for you for free."
Robert nodded. "Of course, we never mistreat our allies."
