Chapter 692: 371 Heart Cold_2

Sure enough, the man was tricked quickly and began cursing directly, "You’re full of shit! Do you think we at Peace Base are all like you folks at Chengtian Base, worthless one and all?"

Wan Hao couldn’t help but touch his nose, he just wanted to make sure those people were okay, and he hadn’t expected the other party to start cursing directly—and fiercely at that. It left a bad taste in his mouth, but at least he could be fairly sure that Deng Hong and the others hadn’t died, so the scolding wasn’t for nothing.

His subordinates, however, were not pleased and complained to him, "Captain, these people are too much! Why are they so arrogant?"

Wan Hao gave him a look and sighed helplessly, "We indeed didn’t handle this nobly. Think about it, if we were in Peace Base’s shoes and someone attacked us, wouldn’t you be angry?"

The man thought about it and his expression immediately turned ugly, murmuring in a low voice, "Then I’d definitely fight them to the death!" He also understood that Chengtian Base had indeed gone too far. It would have been okay if they had just stationed experts in these bases; that could be seen as a good thing. But Ji Chengtian’s intent to swallow up all these small bases and turn their people into his slaves was way over the line!

He hadn’t agreed with this initially, but sadly his influence was too minor, and he didn’t even have the chance to suggest otherwise to Ji Chengtian! Not just him, even Wan Hao didn’t dare to offer suggestions to Ji Chengtian, a man of great ambition but very narrow-minded, ruthless and brutal, which made him hard to oppose.

Wan Hao called out, "Are they still alive? Can I see them?" He wanted to see Deng Hong and Meng Ping, not only to ensure they were really okay, but also to find out from them what exactly had happened and who had taken them down.

The person on the wall thought it over and considering that Deng Hong and Meng Ping had already surrendered, and that there weren’t many of them, allowing them into the base seemed harmless. Moreover, he thought, their base housed three Level 4 Superpower Users, each more formidable than the last; even if Ji Chengtian himself came, there was no need to be afraid, let alone worry about these folks.

Still, he cautiously contacted Wu Ke via walkie-talkie first and, upon receiving her consent, finally opened the gate to let them in.

When Wan Hao and his team entered the base, the people there were on high alert; though unconcerned about the potential trouble they could stir up, they remained very vigilant.

Wan Hao and his group had no intentions of starting a fight, but seeing the people of Peace Base so thoroughly prepared, as if they had set a trap for them to fall into, made them nervous too. All of them tensed up, also worried that the people of Peace Base might suddenly attack.

Shortly after, they were led directly to where Deng Hong and Meng Ping were staying and allowed to talk amongst themselves. Initially, Wan Hao and the others were confused, not understanding who the People of Peace Base intended them to meet in what looked like an ordinary civilian residence with no guards around, hardly a place for detaining people.

But before they had even approached, an already forewarned Deng Hong and Meng Ping came out to greet them at the door, beckoning him inside. Wan Hao instinctively glanced at the two of them, noting that they didn’t appear injured; he unconsciously assumed they might be impostors or somehow under someone’s control!

He was filled with doubts and extremely cautious, feeling as if the opened door was like a bottomless pit—if he went in, he wouldn’t come back out! Hesitating, his steps unconsciously slowed.

Seeing him dawdle at the door, Deng Hong couldn’t help but say, "Hey, what’s taking you so long? You’re almost stepping on all the ants on the ground!"

Listening to him, Wan Hao couldn’t help but curse internally—Of course I’m walking slowly, it’s obviously a trap! Should I just jump right in?

But then he thought something didn’t add up! The Deng Hong before him didn’t seem like an imposter or someone being controlled! The way he spoke still sounded as obnoxious as ever! Could it be that there really was a Spiritual Power expert in Peace Base capable of such sophisticated control?

Meng Ping, noticing his confusion, explained, "We’re fine, come inside and you’ll understand. Don’t worry, it’s not a trap."

Although Wan Hao was still somewhat skeptical, he took a deep look at Meng Ping and Deng Hong, feeling they weren’t lying. He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and decided to trust them this time!

Once he cautiously entered the room and saw it really didn’t seem like a trap, he slightly relaxed but kept his guard up and asked, "What’s really going on with you two? Why aren’t you back at the base? What are you doing staying here? It’s not right. How could the people of Peace Base let you in? Did you take down the people at Peace Base?"

Before Deng Hong had been very anxious about whether or not to remain with Hope Battle Group, until Bai Zhengli hinted that they would take down Chengtian Base, only then did he thoroughly relax. Now, seeing Wan Hao being so cautious tickled his mischievous side and he decided to tease him. Feigning a serious demeanor, he mysteriously said, "It’s a long story..."

Wan Hao couldn’t help but twitch his mouth and blurted out, "Then make the long story short!" Though he said so, his eyes were on Meng Ping, signaling him to hurry up and explain.

Meng Ping glanced sideway at Deng Hong, sighed, and explained, "Here’s what happened: we were initially leading people to attack Peace Base, but Wu Ke had left the base earlier. We didn’t think much of it until she returned with a truck convoy!"

Hearing this, Wan Hao’s expression gradually turned solemn, realizing the problem must have been with this convoy! (To be continued.
