A fierce glint flashed in Horn's eyes, but he didn't show it on his face. He said goodbye to Han Zheng and left.
It was already past 10 p.m. After a day of fierce fighting, everyone at the base had gone to bed early, and the entire base was deserted except for a few small teams patrolling.
After leaving the command room, Horn evaded the patrolling squad and quietly arrived at the abandoned building where Chi Xia was being held.
The three people in the small building hadn't left yet. When they saw him return, they immediately went up to ask about the progress of the matter.
Horn was furious. He had planned it perfectly: to call Chi Xia away in front of everyone. He wasn't afraid that Chi Xia would refuse, since he hadn't been hiding anything and it was all so open and aboveboard that no one would suspect anything.
They planned to lure Chi Xia here, then coerce and entice her into locking her up. They would then use her safety to threaten Han Junche, forcing him to act according to their plan.
Horn wasn't afraid of what Han Junche would do to him, because he was acting in the name of the greater good of humanity. Besides, the base wasn't Han Junche's personal fiefdom; there were many, even the vast majority, who shared his views.
After all, everyone values their life. No matter how powerful those in the capital are, they carry the virus. Who would want to live with people carrying the zombie virus for an alien they can't see or touch, and who doesn't even know if they will ever return to Earth?
By killing those so-called zombie kings and high-level mutated zombies, they can obtain superpower cores and live with those virus-carrying creatures, constantly at risk of infection.
Who knows if that inhibitor will actually work? If it doesn't, and they get bitten, they won't even have time to escape.
So what if Han Junche knows he kidnapped Chi Xia? He did it for everyone!
However, Horn never expected that those two madmen, Han Junche and Qin Zhao, would head straight for the enemy's base camp without even hesitating.
In this way, all his plans and all his positions are rendered useless. Not only that, he is now in a dilemma and has no way to back down!
After all, Han Junche and Qin Zhao risked their own lives and didn't implicate anyone in the group. To put it bluntly, they sacrificed themselves for the greater good, while the other two have kidnapped someone else's wife...
In front of these three people, Horn didn't hide his true feelings and rambled on and on.
Finally, he paced around the room in anger, hands behind his back: "That cunning and treacherous Han Junche! His move is like putting us on the hot seat!"
The other three also looked grim. They could have claimed that kidnapping someone was for the greater good of humanity, but now that they had kidnapped the person, he was risking his life himself. It was as if he was risking his life on the front lines for everyone, while they were kidnapping his wife behind his back!
What did they become?
The scariest thing is that they shouted it in full view of everyone, which means everyone knows that Chi Xia has been kidnapped!
The three of them immediately panicked and looked at Horn, saying, "Then, what should we do now? Should we release him or not?!"
A perfectly good hostage has now become a hot potato.
One of them said, "If we talk to Captain Chi properly now, will she forgive us and pretend nothing happened?"
Upon hearing this, Horn and the other two looked at him as if he were a fool.
The man realized he had said something foolish and immediately said sheepishly, "Then what should we do now?"
Horn had been talking for so long, and that was exactly what he was waiting for.
He feigned a desperate act and said, "Let's go all the way and seize the base while Han Junche and Qin Zhao are away!"
