Because all those with superpowers, especially high-level ones, are very sensitive to mental probing. If they use their mental abilities to probe, it will immediately alert the enemy.
All they can do is confront them head-on.
Chi Xia once again complained about the intelligence of these people.
They seemed not to have considered what would happen if she and Han Zheng escaped. Perhaps they hadn't considered it, but were too confident. After all, with only two people—the old, the weak, and the woman—they definitely wouldn't be able to escape the cellar.
Their plan was simple: if Han Junche and Qin Zhao returned, they would use her and Han Zheng as leverage.
It would be even better if she didn't come back. She and Han Zheng could be used to threaten those in the base who were unwilling to cooperate. Although the number of people from the Starfire Alliance was not large, they were all genuine elites, and they would never betray Han Junche to join Horn.
Therefore, threats are the only option.
The stupid thing about these people is that they came up with Plan A and arrogantly thought it was foolproof, without even having a Plan B.
No challenge at all.
Chi Xia decisively withdrew her gaze and quickly went to the door of 501 and knocked.
It's already five in the morning. Although it's the end of the world, Qian Xiangdong still retains his pre-apocalyptic habits: getting up early and being on standby at all times.
So as soon as Chi Xia knocked on the door, he immediately opened his eyes, frowned, and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Chi Xia. I have something urgent to discuss with you."
Qian Xiangdong immediately got up, dressed himself within seconds, and then opened the door.
Chi Xia slipped into the room, slammed the door shut, and before Qian Xiangdong could speak, she clearly explained how Huo En had colluded with more than half of the base's people to mutiny, and how he had kidnapped her and Han Zheng.
Upon hearing this, Qian Xiangdong slammed his fist on the table in anger and said, "From the moment he proposed to kill those people in the capital and seize the superpower cores, I knew that this bastard had no good intentions!"
"This isn't the time to talk about these things," Chi Xia said to him. "How many people do you have available?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Xiangdong raised his chin, seemingly somewhat proud: "The entire building is filled with my people."
Chi Xia nodded: "So how many people are there in total?"
Qian Xiangdong gave an exact number: "Fifty-three people!"
Chi Xia: ...
Qian Xiangdong noticed that Chi Xia's lips were twitching slightly, and belatedly realized that there were indeed too few people.
But you can't blame him for that. It's an old-style building with only two apartments per floor, and it's already at its limit to fit fifty-three people.
Qian Xiangdong coughed lightly: "Don't worry, the people in the building next door are also my people."
Chi Xia made up her mind: "How many people are in the building next door?"
Qian Xiangdong's answer was not as readily available as before: "There's one more than this building, making a total of fifty-four people."
Chi Xia: ...
Great, with her, there are exactly 108 heroes.
Seeing Chi Xia's expression, Qian Xiangdong quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Although we are outnumbered, we are all old subordinates. Our abilities, loyalty, and execution are beyond question. Even if that bastard Horn has won over most of his men, they are definitely a bunch of rabble. As long as we unite our old subordinates, taking them down will be a piece of cake."
Chi Xia looked at him and couldn't bear to pour cold water on his enthusiasm, but she still couldn't help but say, "They started taking over the base at night. I'm not worried about anything else, but I'm worried that they've already taken over the armory."
“You don’t need to worry about that.” Qian Xiangdong pulled out a bunch of keys from his pocket: “I’m in charge of the armory, and it uses fingerprint and facial recognition. Without me and Song Guang, they can’t open it!”
