Chapter 696: 373 Two Requirements_2

Before he could finish speaking, Meng Ping interrupted him, "You’d better pray they don’t do that! Overthinking this won’t help. Let’s just see what happens when the time comes." His words were directed both at Deng Hong and at Wan Hao.

Wan Hao was aware of this and simply nodded his head, deciding to sleep on it and see what the next day would bring.

The three of them made do with their sleeping arrangements and the night passed quickly. When they opened their eyes again, the sky had already brightened. The Hope Battle Group had prepared breakfast early, and although Deng Hong and his companions were "captives", the group hadn’t mistreated them and had included them in the breakfast preparations, including Wan Hao who had just arrived last night.

Taking advantage of breakfast, the people from Chengtian Base covertly observed the members of the Hope Battle Group, secretly assessing their strength. After hurriedly finishing their breakfast, Wan Hao took the initiative to find Bai Zhengli and told him, "I already know about your plans. I’m willing to support you, but I have two requests that I hope you can agree to."

Deng Hong and Meng Ping were startled by these words. They instinctively thought back to the conversation from the night before. What kind of demands would Wan Hao make? Could it be that he would plead on behalf of Ji Chengtian, asking Bai Zhengli to promise not to kill Ji Chengtian? But that was only one request. What about the other?

Deng Hong and Meng Ping felt both tense and worried. They wanted to know whether Bai Zhengli would agree, yet they feared that Wan Hao’s demands might annoy him, making life difficult for them in the future.

While the two were fraught with worry, Bai Zhengli had already spoken, "Just say what your conditions are. How can I agree to something you haven’t even mentioned?"

Wan Hao nodded. Bai Zhengli’s request was reasonable, so he said, "For the first request, I hope that after you take control of Chengtian Base, you can release the captured Wood Element Superpower Users and open a hospital within the base to ensure that the injured can receive treatment. My second request is that you don’t kill Ji Chengtian. Although he has made mistakes, his crimes aren’t worthy of death. Give him a chance to reform."

He appeared calm, but his heart was in turmoil, fearing that Bai Zhengli might disagree or become angry. After finishing his speech, his eyes were fixed on Bai Zhengli, waiting for his reaction, as were Deng Hong and Meng Ping, who shared Wan Hao’s concerns.

Bai Zhengli took in their expressions, then suddenly smiled and said, "Regarding your first request, opening a hospital is definitely doable. However, I can’t promise that every injured person will receive treatment. I can only say that we will try our best to arrange for more doctors to help with the injuries. As for those captured Wood Element Superpower Users, naturally, we will release them. As for your second request, I can only say that as long as he doesn’t seek his own death, my men will absolutely not kill him."

Wan Hao thought for a moment, then nodded. "That works! Since you’ve put it that way, I’ll also lay it on the line. I, Wan Hao, will definitely help you take down Chengtian Base."

Hearing this, Deng Hong and Meng Ping unconsciously sighed with relief, then said together, "We will help, too."

Bai Zhengli smiled again and suddenly said, "Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint you." After he spoke, he instinctively looked in the direction of Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin, seeing not only the two of them together but Bai Qianqian as well, and he smiled contentedly. He believed that everything would turn out well.

...

Inside the Chengtian Base, Ji Chengtian was asking one of his subordinates, "Are you saying that last night Wan Hao left the base with fifty men and then never returned?"

Feeling the powerful aura emanating from Ji Chengtian, the man dared not lift his head and could only continue, "Yes, Wan Hao probably wanted to take men out to find Deng Hong and Meng Ping, but he hasn’t come back. I’m afraid something has happened. City Lord, should we send someone to Peace Base to check it out? This is too bizarre!"

Ji Chengtian’s complexion changed, and he immediately ordered, "Then you take some men to Peace Base and see what’s really going on!"

The man then asked, "So... how many men do you think should I take?"

Ji Chengtian thought for a moment and named a number, "Take a hundred men with you. Remember, you’re just going to gather information. Don’t get too close. If you find out anything, don’t act rashly; come straight back and report."

The man’s face turned extremely grim. However, since he was still bowing his head, Ji Chengtian didn’t see his expression. He just clenched his jaw tightly, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I’ll handle it right away!"说完,他就转身 thereupon, he turned and quickly left the hall.

Ji Chengtian watched his retreating figure and gradually frowned. He knew the man was unhappy with his order, but with the situation unclear, he couldn’t risk sending too many men, could he? If they all died out there, how would the remaining people protect such a large safe base?

After a while, someone hurried into the hall and said, "City Lord, something terrible has happened! Wan Hao’s deputy, Liu Yue, suddenly left the base with his men, saying he was going out to rescue Wan Hao!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Chengtian’s expression turned exceedingly grim. "What did you say? That Liu Yue has a lot of nerve to leave with so many men without my approval! Does he not take me into consideration at all? And you! Why didn’t you stop him!" (To be continued.
