Chapter 48 Two Mountain Dyes
Yamazaki expressed his understanding of Shibasawa's actions.
Her Good Luck Base also has strict membership screening procedures; it's impossible for them to let a child bring their whole family in.
Chai Ze invited the two to sit in the tea room and began to brew tea. "May I ask, Captain Shan Ran and Captain Kun Wu, is there anything I can help you with?"
Shan Ran didn't waste any words and briefly explained what had happened.
Chai Ze remained silent for a long time until he poured tea for the two people opposite him.
"So, you want us to help you rescue people?"
"I want District 5 to have only two bases."
Chai Ze stopped in his tracks, raised an eyebrow, and looked at the composed girl opposite him, shocked that she could say such a startling thing in such a calm tone.
“Captain Shanran, you only sent two people from District 1, but you’re quite arrogant,” Chai Ze said with a smile and shook his head. “The Tianxia Base is run by the same people from the old junkyard. They have powerful forces from the mainland behind them. My base is just a small one that’s only been established for two months. It can’t swallow that big fish.”
Shan Ran blew on the tea, took a small sip, and found it sweet and refreshing. It was a very ordinary tea, but the taste was quite good.
"The original base chief of the World Base, Douglas, has run into trouble."
"Huh?" Chai Ze asked in confusion, "When did this happen? I haven't received any news about it."
"If Douglas hadn't gotten into trouble, he could have come out to greet us personally, since he had been to District 1 and met with Sophia, which would have made it easier to dispel our suspicions. But he never showed up; it was always a guy named Sam who was in front of us."
Therefore, I suspect that Sam has replaced Douglas as the base commander. He's been a lackey of the other continents from the beginning, and he stockpiled weapons early on. I think even without the apocalypse, he was preparing to take Douglas's place.
“Sam?” Chaize recognized the man. “He was Douglas’s second-in-command, so he has now replaced the eldest brother and taken over.”
"Yes, and it should have just started recently. I remember Douglas is a dual-elemental ability user, very powerful, with a group of very loyal subordinates. Killing him will take a lot of effort, and afterwards we'll have to eliminate Douglas's influence. I believe it's because the base has been unstable that they haven't released any information yet."
Chai Ze looked at the two people opposite him and smiled helplessly, "Sam's own power is not stable yet, and he still wants to trick you into going there. He's really bold."
Shan Ran sneered, "Fortune favors the bold. He's a gambling addict. He's addicted to gambling and enjoys the thrill. The buyers behind him also crave excitement; the more thrilling it is, the more excited they get."
Then, Shan Ran changed the subject, "Chief Chai Ze, would you be willing to cooperate with us to wipe out the Tianxia Base?"
Chai Ze remained expressionless, pondered silently for a moment, and finally just sighed softly.
"Captain Shanran, I have the will, but not the ability. Our base is short-handed and doesn't have weapons with such power. Besides, you two... it's not that I have any problem with you, but no matter how good you are, there are only two of you. How can you help me take over such a large base?"
Shan Ran put down her cup, and as the cup rested on the table, the person sitting next to her disappeared from the spot.
Before Chai Ze could even conjure his icicles, a dagger was already at his neck.
He even maintained the same sitting posture as before, but a pair of ears appeared out of instinct.
Shan Ran couldn't help but glance over.
They are dog ears.
The black color is especially noticeable against the silver hair.
What kind of dog is black? A Labrador?
No, Labradors have droopy ears, this one has erect ears.
Chai Ze noticed Shan Ran's somewhat unfocused gaze and said helplessly, "It's a German Shepherd."
Kunwu Yecheng noticed that the girl across from him lit up when she heard it was a German Shepherd.
Does she like dogs?
I want to be a dog too.
Chai Ze's eyes turned cold. "So this is your attitude towards negotiations?"
Shan Ran shrugged. "There's nothing we can do. As you said, there are only two of us. In these special times, we have to resort to special measures."
Chai Ze: ..... laughed in exasperation.
He gritted his teeth, "Captain Shanran is really honest."
Shan Ran waved his hand, "Enough with the nonsense. We don't have much time. If Chief Chai Ze agrees, we'll take action tonight."
"What if I don't agree?"
"Then I'll kill you, replace the base commander, and we'll still be on the operation tonight."
Shibasawa: ...Do you even give me the right to choose?
Upon hearing Chai Ze's reply, Kunwu Yecheng sheathed his dagger.
As a newly established base, Hope Base is the most unstable. If the other two bases are allowed to develop unchecked, a fierce battle will inevitably break out sooner or later.
If we fail, not only will we be swallowed up, but everyone will probably be thrown into that so-called arena.
You don't even need to watch the video; just hearing a simple description is enough to tell how cruel and perverse it is.
Sam is a gambling addict, so why doesn't Chaize gamble too?
——
"Still haven't found them?"
The private room was dimly lit, with flickering lights and scattered bottles of liquor on the table. A man sat on a long leather sofa, and a woman knelt in front of him.
He leaned back with his arms outstretched, his head tilted slightly back, and his face showed a comfortable yet impatient expression.
He glanced at the person standing not far away. "What? You can't bear to part with this body? Do you like this man's body, or do you like that woman, Shan Ran?"
Ignoring the question, Jia Linmo replied, "Boss, we've already sent a lot of people to chase after Shan Ran in the direction she's flying, but she's flying too fast and keeps turning and circling, so our people quickly lost track of her."
Sam's expression became even more amused. "This Shan Ran is quite interesting."
The fake Lin Mo remained motionless.
"Customers are very interested in mountain dyeing and are asking for high prices. They're still raising the price, but unfortunately, she got away."
Sam then looked at the man over there and said, "You Zhanming, show me how you transform into Shan Ran."
You Zhanming hesitated for a moment. His special ability could only be used a limited number of times within a certain period of time. If he used it now, he would not be able to change it again for the next few days.
But he had no choice but to obey his superior.
The facial features began to deform, the skin twisted and twitched strangely, the hair gradually grew longer, and after adjusting for a while, it finally turned into a beautiful and bright face.
Sam nodded in satisfaction at first, then frowned in annoyance, "Why can you only change your face, but not your body? Go change your clothes in a bit, and get your chest altered. Appear on screen like this tonight and give our customers a surprise."
After looking at the face in front of him and then at the woman working hard below, Sam suddenly felt a little bored.
He grabbed the woman's hair, pulled her up, and then threw her out, sending her crashing into the corner of the table.
The force was so great that the woman's waist snapped, making a cracking sound, and she immediately lay on the ground screaming in pain.
"Drag him out."
You Zhanming called two people in and dragged the paralyzed woman out.
Sam then gave him a few more instructions before letting him leave.
A burly, bald man with a fierce appearance leaned against the door. When he saw You Zhanming come out, his eyes widened in shock.
"Dawson, have you seen enough?"
Dawson curled his lip and chuckled, "What's wrong? You've become like this, and I can't even look at you? Look at you, so pathetic. The woman you like ignores you, so you masturbate in her likeness? How disgusting."
You Zhanming threw a punch without hesitation, but Dawson easily blocked it.
Dawson lowered his voice and sneered, "What? You traitor who sold out your master still has such a strong sense of pride?"
You Zhanming seemed to have been hit where it hurt, and he became even more ruthless.
The two fought back and forth for several rounds until their men arrived, at which point they retreated, panting heavily.
They didn't say much, glared at each other fiercely, and walked towards the stairs one after the other. Each had their own tasks; last night's major accident had severely impacted tonight's live stream preparations, and time was tight; they couldn't afford to waste any more time.
"That damn pig's head, I'll rip that pig's head off and feed it to the pigs one day."
"You stupid transvestite, you really think you're something special? Next time I'll make you a real transvestite."
They were each cursing each other in their hearts.
As You Zhanming walked out of the KTV, he saw a group of people walking inside from the lobby.
He glanced at it but didn't pay any attention.
Because he always changed his appearance, he usually handled internal affairs and left the communication with outsiders to Dawson.
"Chief Chai, welcome, welcome. It's a pleasure to cooperate with Hope Base."
Chai Ze changed into a V-neck shirt, and you could vaguely see the firm muscles in his chest.
He was wearing sunglasses, and the woman he was embracing was also wearing sunglasses; they looked like a couple who had run away to have some fun.
The woman also had silver hair, heavy makeup, and extremely bright lip color. She wore a fur coat and a short skirt, along with black stockings, looking both sexy and vulgar.
Dawson glanced at him and then looked away. He knew Chai Ze's background well. He used to be just an ordinary worker. After the apocalypse, he gained superpowers and was a rare dual-type superpower user. Fortunately, he had a group of fans who helped him successfully establish a base.
Once in power, pleasure and women become indispensable.
"Chief Chai, please come with me. Our boss is waiting for you upstairs."
Chai Ze glanced at the other person through his sunglasses. "Who are you? Where's Douglas's assistant?"
Dawson forced a smile. "My name is Dawson. Douglas has been unwell recently, so the base is temporarily under the care of our boss. Don't worry, our boss can handle everything for now."
The woman next to him seemed to be getting tired from waiting for so long. She punched Chai Ze's chest in annoyance, "Hey, hurry up and go, I'm so tired."
Chai Ze tightened his grip on the woman's arm, pulling her closer to him. With his other hand, he hooked her rounded chin and smiled indulgently, "Sweetie, let's go over now."
Hearing the woman's affected voice, Dawson silently shuddered, inwardly thinking, "Going out on business with a woman? Is she that desperate?"
The group walked from the lobby into the winding corridor. Shan Ran turned her head slightly to look at the figures that had just left, her eyes behind her sunglasses cold and disdainful.
She actually saw her own face!
