Chapter 683: 367 Instigation

Meng Ping didn’t care about what Deng Hong was thinking inside. He said to himself "You are trying to kill me; why should I uphold any moral righteousness with you?" Meanwhile, he shouted loudly, "I am willing to surrender, and I hope you won’t harm my men below. They are innocent, merely following orders."

He deliberately raised his voice when he spoke, so that not only Bai Zhengli and the others heard him clearly, but even the men under his command. Consequently, in the blink of an eye, the gazes those men directed at Meng Ping and Deng Hong gradually changed.

Deng Hong realized something was amiss, but it was already too late. In the brief moment of his hesitation, Meng Ping had directly surrendered, and while Deng Hong was being upset with Meng Ping, Meng Ping had successfully gained the favor of the others. After several comparisons, Deng Hong fell far short; he not only seemed too indecisive but also too petty, not to mention he failed to see the bigger picture. He really wasn’t cut out to be a qualified team leader.

Of course, Deng Hong knew he had lost to Meng Ping and couldn’t help but glare at him again. Although he was seething inside, he still managed to forcefully suppress his rage and refrained from getting physical with Meng Ping in public.

Then, he too, spoke out loudly, "That’s right, we surrender, but please spare the others." Although belated, saying it was nonetheless better than remaining silent. But Deng Hong’s face turned red with anger, and even though the others heard his words, they didn’t believe they came from the heart, not in the way they appreciated Meng Ping.

Deng Hong and Meng Ping were the two strongest in the team. Once they surrendered, the rest naturally couldn’t hold out any longer. Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang radiated a presence that was so intimidating that just one glance filled the others with a profound sense of dread. Furthermore, with both Deng Hong and Meng Ping having surrendered, they dared not oppose them!

With their surrender, the stalemate that had persisted before was completely broken. Wu Ke and others, who were planning to leave, also didn’t go, stopping their vehicles nearby. Those inside the vehicle witnessed the whole process, watching in awe as Deng Hong and Meng Ping surrendered without even fighting, and couldn’t help but feel even more wary and on guard against this mysterious group!

Their expressions grew complicated. Initially, seeking Bai Zhengli and the others for help was just a temporary measure—they really weren’t sure about it. Unexpectedly, the situation was resolved so effortlessly, all because there were two Level 4 Superpower Users in this convoy!

Their Peace Base was quite small, housing only seventy to eighty thousand survivors; Third-level Superpower Users were already rare, let alone Level 4 Superpower Users which they hadn’t even heard of! Yet here they encountered a convoy with two Level 4 Superpower Users inside!

These people’s thoughts were not much different from Deng Hong’s—could it be that many Level 4 Superpower Users had already emerged outside?

Originally, they thought that even if they managed to bring people back, a battle would lead to casualties. With more people on their side, they did not perceive this convoy as a significant threat. Who knew they would be so wrong from the start! This convoy had two Level 4 Superpower Users! Their appearance alone brought the battle to a sudden halt, with Deng Hong and Meng Ping surrendering outright!

These people were too frightening! Wasn’t their earlier plea for help just inviting the wolves into the house?

The young driver couldn’t help but ask Wu Ke in a low voice, "Ah Ke, what do we do now? Deng Hong and Meng Ping have surrendered. If these people come down hard, I’m afraid our base simply won’t hold!"

Wu Ke’s face wasn’t looking too good either, but suddenly, she thought of a question, and her expression began to improve. The others, who had been nervously fixing their gaze on her, saw her expression growing better and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, urging her, "Ah Ke? Do you have a strategy?"

Unexpectedly, Wu Ke shook her head. Noticing the disappointment on the others’ faces, she said, "Although I don’t have a way to deal with these people, have you ever thought that since they could leave so easily, perhaps Ji Chengtian simply isn’t a match for them! Otherwise, Deng Hong and Meng Ping wouldn’t have surrendered. With such formidable strength, how could they possibly be interested in our little Peace Base?"

Upon hearing her words, the others were first stunned, then came to understand Wu Ke’s point. This group didn’t seem simple at all; they probably wouldn’t covet a small Peace Base. The only place nearby that might interest them would probably be Ji Chengtian’s Chengtian Base.
