"ah?!"
The other three were shocked by Horn's words.
They were dissatisfied with Han Junche, unwilling to associate with those inhuman monsters in the capital, and wanted a share of the superpower cores, but... but that doesn't mean they wanted to rebel!
Horn could tell what the three of them were thinking just by looking at their expressions.
He had already come up with a solution to this.
He looked at the three men with a deep gaze and said, "Do we have any other options now? If Han Junche and Qin Zhao can come back after this negotiation, they will be heroes of all mankind. But we kidnapped his wife while he was in danger. Think about how the people in the base will view us? How will Han Junche deal with us?"
The three of them immediately fell silent.
Not bothering with them and simply kicking them out of the base would be considered good. If Han Junche harbored vengeful intentions, he could cripple or kill them, or use his position to send them out to liaise with the capital, turning them into food for those people in the capital...
It's terrifying to even think about.
Horn was pleased with the expressions on their faces. He sighed and said earnestly, "Things have come to this point. We have no way out but to take a gamble."
The three were persuaded by him: "But the three of us can't possibly take over the base!"
"You don't need to worry about that, I've already thought it through."
Horn said, “Of the ten captains in the base, five are General Han’s subordinates, and the other five are not. I paid special attention to them today, and even among General Han’s subordinates, few completely agreed. On the contrary, the vast majority of them supported killing those zombie kings to obtain their ability cores.”
"So, as long as we release some information, these people will definitely stand on our side. To reiterate, our goal is to change the fate of the base and everyone else who were killed. This is a revolution, not for personal gain or anything else!"
Horn spoke with great passion, standing on the moral high ground of humanity's great cause, like a skilled instigator, bewitching people's hearts.
The three were quickly persuaded, but they were still somewhat worried: "What if Han Junche and Qin Zhao come back?"
"What are you afraid of?" Horn sneered. "Let's kidnap Han Zheng first. With Han Zheng and Chi Xia in our hands, they'll definitely be hesitant to act. Whether things succeed or not, we've dragged a bunch of people down with us. If it succeeds, great. If it fails, that's what we all want too. If he's got the guts, he can kill us all!"
Horn was thinking that the law wouldn't punish everyone, and the other three were completely relieved after hearing this, so they sat down and began to discuss how to proceed.
After they finished their discussion and were about to go their separate ways, someone finally remembered Chi Xia in the cellar below: "Did Chi Xia hear everything we said here?"
Horn was taken aback. He was indeed too excited and forgot that Chi Xia was still locked up at his feet. Moreover, Chi Xia must have heard everything they were discussing here.
But he quickly calmed down: "What's there to be afraid of? Could she possibly run out and inform others?"
Someone hesitated and said, "But she has fire-type abilities, and this cellar is just an ordinary cellar."
"What's there to worry about?"
The other person was unconvinced: "I've inquired about her, and I haven't heard that she's that powerful. Ever since the Starfire Alliance was established, she's been clinging to Han Junche and has never left him to go on a mission alone. Even if she has some skills, she's definitely not that great. To destroy the cellar and escape from there, you'd need at least a level 6 or 7 ability, otherwise you'd just end up burning dirt into bricks."
