“I agree with what you said before, but the situation is special now, and there is no time to prepare slowly. We need to expose the QS base to the outside world immediately.”
"You," Qin Sheng said, his gaze sweeping over the four people in front of him, "are you ready?"
As if something had settled in their hearts, the four of them felt their hearts beat faster than they could control, and their blood inexplicably boiled.
Finally, they looked at each other and nodded heavily.
Silence speaks louder than words.
The five of them walked side by side into a room deep inside the QS base.
The QS base officially came into the public eye seven years ago after Qin Sheng rescued Mu Wu and his group of five from the Black Prison, but in reality, the QS base has existed for even longer.
Thirteen years ago, when Qin Sheng first escaped from the Black Prison.
Starting that year, she began working on establishing the QS base.
It took five years and a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to complete.
Qin Sheng even developed several special ancient formations for the base, which is why such a large research base was built, hidden two hundred meters underground.
From the very beginning of its construction, Qin Sheng had already made preparations for the future emergence of the QS base.
Ten minutes later.
Standing in front of an instrument in a completely enclosed room deep inside the base, even Mu Wu and his three companions, who considered themselves to have seen many storms, couldn't help but sweat from their palms.
The tension was palpable.
Qin Sheng noticed this and hesitated before asking, "Shall I do it?"
The four of them instantly snapped out of their tension, shook their heads, and said in calm voices, "No, we'll do it."
This place protected them for seven years, but it also imprisoned them for seven years.
They had long wanted to experience life outside the home firsthand.
At this moment, no one is allowed to back down.
The four exchanged another glance, their eyes filled with even greater determination.
The next moment, the four of them simultaneously reached out and pressed a red button on the instrument in front of them, their actions swift and decisive, yet filled with reverence.
The ground beneath my feet began to tremble slightly, and the surrounding walls trembled uncontrollably as well.
Amidst the panic, the soil layers atop the QS base continued to shift, and the base rose slowly but steadily upwards.
No more, no less, exactly ten minutes.
A massive silver building appeared on the vast, boundless grassland.
At this time, exactly half an hour had passed since Qin Sheng learned that the helicopter carrying Wang Lingfei's family had crashed.
A sharp glint gradually appeared in the girl's dark, almond-shaped eyes.
She took out her phone, logged into Weibo, and edited her post word by word.
[Qin Sheng: The QS base has been established, and starting today, we will gradually open up opportunities for visits and learning to the public.]
[Qin Sheng: Tianhang Dawang Lingfei, one of the visitors to the QS base, was disqualified from the visit and expelled from the QS base for violating the rules. The helicopter he was traveling in crashed on its return journey, killing all six people. The incident is under investigation.]
The two messages were like two huge stones thrown into a calm lake, creating a huge uproar on the internet in an extremely short period of time.
The hashtags 【QS Base Emerges】 and 【Wang Lingfei, a visitor to Tianjin University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Dies】 quickly rose to the top three trending topics, attracting unprecedented attention.
[A tragedy has struck! Six people have died! Don't tell me this is just a coincidence! I don't believe it!]
[We urge CCTV, Xinhua, China News Network, and People's Daily to intervene and investigate, and to bring justice to the deceased!]
[Don't blame me for being suspicious, the timing is just too coincidental. Wang Lingfei had just made a mistake and been stripped of her tour spot, and then the helicopter crashed and she died immediately. I simply don't believe there's nothing fishy going on!]
[Then why haven't you been beaten to death yet? Stop making veiled accusations against anyone. Aren't you just trying to say that this was orchestrated by Qin Sheng and her QS base? I just laugh. Do you think everyone else is as stupid as you? They just chased people away, and then killed them to cover their tracks. Only an idiot would do something like that!]
[It's precisely because there are so many fools in the world that people are able to seize opportunities to take advantage of vulnerabilities. Maybe people just have a contrarian mindset?]
At least there was a motive. Although Wang Lingfei was an outstanding student at Tianhang University, in terms of strength and status, she was no match for Qin Sheng, one of the founders of the QS base. Since she had already been driven away, why bother to silence her?
Are you just bored out of your mind?
Even assuming Qin Sheng really wanted to get rid of Wang Lingfei, he had plenty of ways to do it. Why resort to such a stupid tactic that would only smear his own reputation? If you ask me, someone is just trying to frame him based on this!
[Upstairs, how much did Qin Sheng give you to warrant this forceful whitewash? Someone framed you? Why don't you just say that Wang Lingfei herself was suicidal and orchestrated the helicopter crash, hoping to be reborn from the explosion and embark on the path of a wish-fulfillment novel heroine?]
[...This is such a vivid imagination! It immediately brings to mind the scene. With your skill level, you should be at least a Challenger rank, right? How many stars are you? Which server are you in?]
[No problem, it's only fifty stars, see Weibo comments section]
Hahaha, I almost didn't realize that! He's a genius!
[Holy crap, what's wrong with them? The helicopter crashed, the whole family of three perished, and they have no compassion at all, instead they're making sarcastic jokes. Have they really been brainwashed by Qin Sheng?!]
【Hey, young man, you're quite kind-hearted. Why don't you go to the scene and take a look, investigate what really happened, was the crash an accident or sabotage? It would be best if you could find evidence pointing to the QS base and Qin Sheng, so your righteous spirit wouldn't have been wasted.】
[...]
The comments across the internet were divided into two camps, and the two sides got into a heated argument in public.
After posting those two Weibo posts, Qin Sheng logged out, leaving the online discussions to continue to escalate.
Neither QS Base nor Wang Lingfei can take the blame for her death. Proving her innocence is a given, but when and how to do so is a matter of great importance.
Putting aside the few innocent deaths, this incident presents both a crisis and an opportunity for the QS base.
If you lose, you start all over again; if you win, your position is secure, and no one will dare to offend you again!
A cold glint flashed in Qin Sheng's eyes as she looked up at the corner of the room: "Well, did you find anything?"
Mu Wu and the others followed her gaze and saw that the place was completely empty; there wasn't a single person or piece of equipment there.
Who is she talking to?
Just then, the space not far away trembled slightly, and a black crack about half a person's height appeared in the air.
The next moment, a tall and slender figure walked out from among them.
It is Fu Jingheng.
The four men's eyes flickered, and they immediately stepped forward to surround the area.
She stared at him longingly.
Fu Jingheng: "..."
He pressed his temples, gave a soft "hmm," and then presented something to them.
