After an unknown amount of time, the stone slab above their heads opened again.
Chi Xia quickly withdrew her supernatural power and returned to her original spot to sit down.
A ladder was lowered down, and Horn's voice rang out from above: "General Han, please wait down there for a moment. After Han Junche and Qin Zhao return, we will have a good talk with them. Once they agree to give up those unrealistic fantasies, we will immediately invite you out."
His response was a cold snort from Han Zheng.
Horn didn't take it to heart and said to Han Zheng, "General Han, please."
Han Zheng climbed down the ladder, and when he saw Chi Xia, he was taken aback at first, then looked up at Huo En and said, "You actually tied up Chi Xia?!"
Horn smiled and said, "This is just in case. We're all from the base, and we just want to resolve this with minimal casualties. It would be best if we could do it without bloodshed. I believe General Han can understand our good intentions."
Han Zheng sneered upon hearing this: "Fine, very well indeed. I'd like to see how you manage to win without shedding a drop of blood!"
After saying this, he ignored Horn and stepped off the ladder.
The ladder was quickly pulled back up, and the stone slab was put back on.
Chi Xia lit a fireball in her hand and said to Han Zheng, "Uncle Han."
Han Zheng looked at her, feeling somewhat guilty: "I've dragged you into this."
"This matter actually has little to do with Uncle Han."
Chi Xia sighed: "To be precise, as long as Han Junche had the intention of joining forces with the zombies, this mutiny was inevitable. It's just that it happened earlier than expected."
Han Zheng understood that she was telling the truth, but he still blamed himself: "I was too hasty. If I hadn't pushed Che'er out and had given the order myself, they wouldn't have targeted you."
Chi Xia shook her head: "That would only make things more difficult for A-Che."
As she spoke, she stood up and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Han, what's the situation outside?"
Han Zheng lowered his voice and replied, "Che'er and Qin Zhao haven't returned yet. Horn has united more than half of the base's people and has temporarily taken control of the base. But don't worry, this is only temporary. The people who went out to fight during the day were all our people. They are all tired and are still resting. Horn and the others didn't dare to disturb them."
“Once dawn breaks and our people wake up, it will be impossible for them to continue controlling the base. My only worry now is that Che'er and Qin Zhao will return at that time.”
Chi Xia nodded, indicating that she understood.
Those who went into battle today were all Han Zheng's trusted subordinates, which is why they volunteered to cooperate with Han Junche's plans and actions.
It was three in the morning, and they were all asleep. Horn didn't dare to disturb them. Once it was light and they got up, the situation would be reversed.
At the very least, it's a standoff between the two sides.
The only problem is that if Han Junche and Qin Zhao return at this time, they will be isolated and helpless. In addition, since she and Han Zheng are still in Huo En's hands, Han Junche and Qin Zhao will definitely be threatened.
Han Zheng frowned and said, "What I'm worried about now is not that they will ruin Che'er's hard work. What I'm worried about is that they will use us to threaten him and Qin Zhao, making them do things that will harm themselves."
Han Zheng spoke subtly, but Chi Xia understood perfectly. He was worried that Huo En was using her and him to threaten Han Junche and Qin Zhao, forcing them to disable their superpowers.
"No, we won't." Chi Xia smiled at Han Zheng, lit a fireball, and walked to the steps she had dug. She said to Han Zheng, "We'll be out soon."
