Chapter 688: Each harboring their own thoughts_2

Her thoughts were not much different from many at Peace Base, so when Fang Yuxin and his group entered the base, they received an unprecedentedly warm welcome. Wu Ke even proposed, to prepare a lavish dinner to welcome and dust them off.

This was absolutely a grand gesture! Their Hope Battle Group had almost five thousand people, plus about a thousand from Chengtian Base, totaling nearly six thousand people. Feeding so many was no small feat; Wu Ke was indeed willing to splurge!

Upon hearing Wu Ke’s words, Deng Hong couldn’t help but sneer, sending a mocking glance to Meng Ping—Wu Ke really knew how to suck up to people! Previously when they arrived, he had put on an "invincible" air, but now he was shamelessly currying favor.

Meng Ping disdainfully glanced at him—You don’t see who he’s trying to please! Do you think the Hope Battle Group isn’t worth pleasing?

Deng Hong instantly calmed down; how could it not be worth it? It was entirely worthwhile! They simply didn’t have valuable goods, or they too would have offered gifts. However... what good things could Peace Base possibly have?

Regardless of Deng Hong’s disdain, Wu Ke genuinely took this matter to heart. She found a place for the members of the Hope Battle Group to rest temporarily, then arranged for rooms so that they could have a place to stay.

Many at Peace Base had seen Fang Yuxin and his team in action and harbored intentions of ingratiating themselves, so there were no objections to Wu Ke’s orders; rather, preparations began eagerly.

Meanwhile, Wu Ke gathered some influential people in the base and held a meeting, discussing how to proceed. Her plan was naturally to align with the Hope Battle Group, but the prerequisite was to find a way to keep the Hope Battle Group from leaving and to take Ji Chengtian’s place at Chengtian Base.

Chengtian Base was not far from Peace Base, allowing mutual aid and support. In the face of an overwhelming crisis, they could send Mutated Birds for help. But once the Hope Battle Group left, they feared Chengtian Base would instantly overpower them and reduce them to Ji Chengtian’s slaves!

While they were holding this meeting, Bai Zhengli too was leading a meeting elsewhere. Bai Zhengli and Fang Jintang, the squad leaders, along with the captains of four battle groups, logistics team lead Qu Qianhe, Fang Yuyang, and Fang Yuxin were all present. Though Fang Yuyang and Fang Yuxin were just sub-leaders in the logistics team, their abilities were widely acknowledged as core members of the Hope Battle Group, so naturally, they should be there. No one objected.

Bai Zhengli lightly tapped the table, asking, "What do you all think about Chengtian Base?" He had plans in his mind, which was to take over Chengtian Base as a base for further development. However, he still wanted to hear others’ opinions.

As the deputy leader, Fang Jintang spoke first, "We’ve just arrived at Long Province, which is complicated. If we remain outside, not only will we frequently encounter Zombie Groups and Mutant Beast attacks, but other bases will also become wary! However, Chengtian Base presents an opportunity for us. You’ve heard it yourselves, the leader of Chengtian Base, Ji Chengtian is unpopular, and many small bases nearby are enslaved by him; complaints abound. So if we take down Ji Chengtian, it’ll be easy to replace him and control Chengtian Base, even dominating small bases in this area!"

Then Qu Qianhe spoke, concisely striking at the very lifeline of the Hope Battle Group. She said, "Our supplies are running low, especially food. So I think it’s better to settle down at Chengtian Base and develop slowly. The outside is fraught with dangers, so as long as we control this area, at least for the short term, no one should challenge us. With this time, we can develop the base and build our strength."

Since both Qu Qianhe and Fang Jintang had spoken thus, Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang naturally had no objections. The two nodded, simply saying, "I agree," then Bai Zhengli turned to the four battle group captains. Bai Ye, captain of the first battle group and Fang Yuxin’s boyfriend, naturally would not contradict her deliberately.

Besides, Qu Qianhe was the logistics team leader; if she said they were running out of supplies, they surely were. What else could they do?

Bai Ye nodded and said, "I also agree to take down Chengtian Base."

The remaining three battle group captains had no objections either and nodded in agreement; thus, the matter was settled. Satisfied, Bai Zhengli nodded his head and continued, "Since that’s the case, let’s discuss how to take down Chengtian Base."

The meeting continued while on another front, Deng Hong was speaking with Meng Ping. Although Deng Hong usually disliked Meng Ping, at this moment he had to admit that Meng was smarter. So he simply asked, "Do you think they’ll take down Chengtian Base?"

Meng Ping was staring out the window at that time. He pretended not to hear Deng Hong’s words and didn’t answer. After waiting a while and seeing that he still refused to answer, Deng Hong grew angry, "Meng Ping, I’m talking to you!"

Finally, Meng Ping turned to give him a look, mysteriously saying, "The problem now isn’t whether they’re willing to take down Chengtian Base, but how they plan to do it. You know the Protection Wall of Chengtian Base is virtually impregnable!" (To be continued.
