Chapter 287 I don't think he's a person with a conscience
Meng Shiwan noticed the commotion and put several buckets of water in Qin Nianshu's bowl so she could wash herself clean.
She appeared beside Zhang Qiang in a flash and asked, "What's going on?"
When Zhang Qiang saw Meng Shiwan arrive, he immediately felt confident and started complaining, "Sister, I have forms here to record everything. I made sure they didn't give us the wrong amount, but they're saying we didn't give them enough and they're causing trouble here."
After saying that, he glared fiercely at the group of burly men, which was somewhat like a fox borrowing the tiger's power.
Meng Shiwan glanced at the form in his hand, "Fierce Bear Base?"
Zhang Qiang nodded quickly, "Yes, this base is called the Fierce Bear Base."
"That's interesting. They came prepared." Meng Shiwan looked up at the group of burly men with a cold gaze.
There were about twenty people, all of them looking fierce and shouting.
The way he looked didn't seem to be talking about being shortchanged; it was more like he was facing a mortal enemy.
When Meng Shiwan went to the cave last time, she encountered people from the Fierce Bear Base, including the healing-type ability user.
That person provoked Meng Shiwan and was killed by her. The Fierce Bear Base probably remembers this grudge, and they came to buy things today, probably to cause trouble.
The burly man at the head of the group visibly flinched when he saw Meng Shiwan, but then stiffened his neck and said,
"Everyone online says your Dawn Base is powerful, and your superhumans are amazing. Don't think you can bully people just because you're strong. You have to give us an explanation today."
We're a large consumer group; we can't be bullied by everyone. Don't provoke public anger; nobody's going to back down. Be careful, or we might all rise up and demand justice.
He wasn't stupid; he kept trying to get all the consumers present to join his side.
The consumers in line were already worried about whether they would be shortchanged. They had risked their lives to save up the goods they brought, so how could they be easily cheated?
Incited by this person, some simple-minded people immediately became indignant.
This tactic works on any person with a conscience, but it will inevitably damage their reputation and annoy people to some extent.
Unfortunately, Meng Shiwan never considered herself a person with a conscience.
She chuckled, "Alright, I'll give you an explanation."
Before the smug smiles on the faces of the people from the Fierce Bear Base could even fade, they saw the sweet potato vines beside them suddenly burst forth and sweep towards them.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the people at the Fierce Bear Base immediately released their superpowers to fight back.
Some of the menacing vines were destroyed in their attack.
Meng Shiwan was surprised, "Level 6 ability users? And they're all Level 6 ability users? No wonder they're so confident in picking fights, they really have real skills."
If she hadn't happened to be here today, and Lu Yu hadn't been dealing with these people alone, it might have really been troublesome.
Meng Shiwan released her wood-type superpower, and the sweet potato vines grew at a visible speed, becoming thicker and more agile, dodging the superpower attacks of those people and wrapping themselves around them.
The vines wrapped them up like silkworm cocoons, binding their hands and feet, and suspending them high in the air.
About twenty silkworm pupae were wriggling in mid-air, trying to break free.
But the vines were stronger than they had imagined. The more they struggled, the tighter the vines coiled around them, and some of them turned red in the face from straining.
Meng Shiwan slowly walked forward, looking at the plump silkworm cocoons in mid-air, "You came here today pretending to buy things, but you really wanted to cause trouble, right? You're all level six ability users, that's quite impressive. It's a pity you're unlucky to have run into me."
You're no match for a level seven ability user. Tell me where you got your ability-enhancing fluid.
"The Fierce Bear Base must have needed a lot of ability enhancement fluid to train so many of you Level 6 ability users, right? At the prices here, it would require a lot of crystal cores. Your base wouldn't be so extravagant as to spend a fortune on ability enhancement fluid for you to drink, only to send you here to your deaths, would they?"
The burly man at the head of the group sneered and said, "You don't need to worry about where we got the power-enhancing fluid, but you killed our base chief's wife, and our base won't let you get away with this..."
"Stop!" Meng Shiwan stood on the ground and looked at him. "First, tell me whether your base commander is male or female."
burly man: ...
"A man."
Meng Shiwan gave an intrigued "Oh," and said, "But I don't think I killed any of the women in your base, so how come I killed your base commander's wife?"
burly man: ...
Onlookers: ...
"Is that the Fierce Bear Base? Oh, it's those beasts. That makes sense."
"I heard that the Fierce Bear Base is in great turmoil, the administrators are extremely cruel, the survivors are suffering terribly, and many bases are unwilling to have contact with them."
"When did Dawn Base start clashing with Fierce Bear Base?"
The onlookers were abuzz with discussion.
Meng Shiwan's expression turned cold. "Have you been in contact with the Chuangyuan Base?"
So far, apart from the Creation Base and the Dawn Base, it seems that no other base has produced a safe and side-effect-free ability enhancement fluid.
If such a large quantity of power-enhancing fluid wasn't sold from Dawn Base, then it could only have come from Creation Base.
It seems that Chuangyuan Base hasn't given up on getting the Black Cube after failing to secure it.
The burly man shouted, "You'd better let us go. It's not just your Dawn Base that has the power-enhancing fluid, or that only your Dawn Base is strong enough. If you kill us, the Fierce Bear Base won't let you get away with it!"
"We've come here to tell you that you killed our base commander's wife, and we won't let this go. You're going to die."
"Fools." Meng Shiwan took out a black umbrella from her spatial storage, opened it, and held it over her head. "Actually, you didn't need to come to your deaths, because I have no intention of letting anyone who has offended me go unpunished."
Now that you've shown me that the Fierce Bear Base has ill intentions, the first thing I'll do when I'm free is to wipe out your Fierce Bear Base. Don't worry, they won't have to wait long.
The burly man was shocked. "You dare? You have power-enhancing fluids to boost your strength, and so do we. What are you being so arrogant about? How dare your small base of a thousand or so people offend our large base of one hundred thousand?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sweet potato vines began to tighten rapidly.
The twenty or so people, wrapped up like silkworm cocoons in the air, let out painful howls.
Thump thump~
The vines tightened, and one by one, living people were strangled into mangled pieces of flesh, which exploded one after another in mid-air.
Blood, bone fragments, and bits of flesh drifted down from mid-air, landing on Meng Shiwan's black umbrella with muffled thuds.
Under the umbrella, Meng Shiwan walked lightly through the blood-soaked rain towards Qin Nianshu.
He left behind a silhouette that left the horrified crowd.
All eyes followed Meng Shiwan's retreating figure. Her light and agile demeanor made it seem as if she hadn't just killed someone in an extremely bloody manner.
It's more like stepping on some insignificant but annoying ants.
