Li Wei and Zhao Hui's team stood at the base entrance, waiting for the group to be assembled before setting off to hunt. Recently, there have been many missions at the base to collect crystal cores, and the rewards are very generous. They all wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to hunt more mutated beasts and accumulate more points.
Suddenly, a fighter jet flew overhead. The jet wasn't flying very high. Li Wei looked up and saw that it was a fighter jet from the B City base. He had only seen this type of aircraft once or twice before, so it must be the latest model.
Zhao Hui leaned closer and said in a very low voice, "Brother, it seems like Wang Xiao just used his terminal to take a picture of the fighter jet that flew by."
Upon hearing this, Li Wei, who had been holding his head high, slowly lowered it. His fingers, which were caressing the crystal energy gun, twitched. Having come from a military background, he was quite sensitive to such behavior. He didn't turn around to look in Wang Xiao's direction, but instead nodded slightly.
Zhao Hui understood what he meant and went off to chat and laugh with the other brothers. Wang Xiao, who was behind them, glanced in their direction seemingly casually, and only turned his gaze elsewhere when he saw that Li Wei did not react.
Li Wei had his back to Wang Xiao, his eyes deep. They had initially gotten in touch with the Fox Hunt team because of Wang Xiao. He had been enthusiastic about them from the beginning, but now it seemed that his purpose was not just admiration for Lin Ruo, but possibly something else entirely.
Combining this with the photos he had just taken of the base's fighter jets, he frowned. What exactly did this guy do?
...
"Urgent Notice: The following thirteen bases have been removed from the B City base cooperation list and will never cooperate with them again. If other bases provide support, they will also be added to the B City base's refused cooperation list."
The above bases are Dragon Ridge Base, Cloud Peak Base, and Luotong Base…
Following this, the C City base also issued the same statement as the B City base, which can be seen as a fundamental firm stance, always standing on the side of the B City base.
Upon hearing these two announcements, all the survivors from Country Z were astonished. The B City base had always been lenient with them. What had these bases done to make the B City base permanently cease cooperating with them?
In such an environment, if they don't cooperate with these bases, their fate is basically sealed.
Upon hearing this announcement, the bases on the list were filled with panic.
Cloud Peak Base is just one of many bases in Country Z, located on the very periphery. Its strength can be considered mid-to-upper level, with a population of over 200,000, including more than 8,000 people with superpowers.
But at this moment, Sun Yilong, the base commander of the Cloud Peak Base, was anxiously pacing around his office. There were many people with superpowers in their base, and the pressure was immense. In this environment, the strength of the mutated plants and animals was increasing faster and faster. Every mission they went out to do was extremely dangerous. Without various weapons and medicines, how were they supposed to survive?
"Damn it! Who leaked this information?! How did the B City base find out so quickly?!" Sun Yilong threw away the radio that was still playing the announcement on a loop, his face extremely ugly.
"Base Commander, what should we do now? If we don't buy supplies from the base in City B, our base's food reserves will only last for a month. What will we do after that?"
The assistant standing to the side was also very anxious. Their base did not have any extra supplies. They had originally planned to go to the base in City B to purchase supplies soon, but now they were all gone.
"Could we contact those people from the US and ask them to help us? We can pay for the crystal cores." Another superhuman standing nearby seemed to be thinking more clearly.
"These American people are not sincere about cooperating with us at all. We didn't know that they contacted so many bases at once. They were just trying to sow discord between us and the base in City B, and wanted to defeat us one by one. Unfortunately, we realized it too late."
Sun Yilong scratched his head. "Let's talk to the base in City B first. We were also deceived. Let's see if we can salvage the situation."
No one present responded. Everyone knew the power of the B City base. Once these two announcements were issued, the situation was basically settled, and it was probably impossible to change it.
Lin Ruo, who was located between the B and C bases, naturally heard both announcements. Jiang Yue had already told her about this matter beforehand, and all the current actions of the B base were completely laid bare before her, with no intention of concealing anything.
When she learned that the United States had struck first, she felt that the people of the United States were probably not yet fully awake and still thought that China was like before the apocalypse, where everything was based on the will of the people and the law would not punish the masses.
After experiencing such a harsh apocalypse, who is truly a saint? Are they all going to become traitors and still give him supplies?
In this situation, as long as their supplies are cut off, and the actions of these bases are made public, the superhumans and ordinary survivors will naturally know what to choose.
After all, the B City base simply doesn't cooperate with these bases; these superhumans and survivors are free and can leave this base to join other bases.
When the B City base releases another preferential policy, those bases will be overjoyed to accept these wandering superhumans and survivors.
Who will be punished then? Only those high-ranking officials who have cooperated with the bases in the United States. No one in the United States dares to take them in, and they can't leave. Their lives are extremely difficult.
This move, cutting off the US bases' resources, put them in a precarious position, preventing them from receiving any assistance and completely eliminating any chance of future defections, thus thwarting their plans.
Lin Ruo held Afu in her arms and gently stroked its head. Afu hummed contentedly from its nose.
But she didn't think the M country base would give up, and she didn't know how the B city base planned to deal with the M country and that organization.
Jiang Yue had been in contact with her these past few days, but had never mentioned these things, as if he was deliberately avoiding them. She stopped what she was doing. Jiang Yue's thoughts were probably the same as hers before: revenge was fine, but she couldn't take on all the grudges between the two countries at once, that would be the real trouble.
At that moment, her terminal rang.
She looked up and saw that it wasn't Jiang Yue, but Zhao Hui.
“There are many US agents in the B City base, and Wang Xiao from the Fox Hunt team is one of them. Their target seems to be you, Sister Ruo, you need to be careful.”
Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow. The B City base had already conducted a self-inspection because of the experimental base. She didn't expect there to be any slip-ups in the base. But thinking about it, she could understand. They couldn't possibly interrogate everyone. As long as they ensured that the important personnel were all safe, that would be enough.
She glanced around and sent the message to Jiang Yue. Finding the mole should be their own responsibility at the B City base, so she wouldn't overstep her bounds.
