Chapter 698: 374 Unsettled_2

So, Bai Zhengli had his people prepare. Their plan remained the same as before, to deter by force only, there was no need to actually come to blows, which would only result in heavy casualties. Thus, this important task was given to Bai Ye, Fang Yuxin, and Fang Yuyang.

Because the visitors were from Chengtian Base, Deng Hong, Meng Ping, Wan Hao, and others needed to lend a hand as well, primarily responsible for negotiations. Everyone stood atop the Protection Wall, which had been remodeled several times and resembled the ancient Great Wall in appearance, with its incredibly thick structure and walkways along the top for people to walk and stand on. The only difference was that this Protection Wall lacked the complexity of the ancient structure, having a flat surface with no battlements.

No sooner had they finished preparing when Liu Yue arrived with his men. Initially, everyone assumed that not many people would come, but to their surprise, they saw a long line of vehicles approaching. At first, everyone was startled, but quickly regained their composure, watching the approaching caravan with heightened vigilance.

The speed of the caravan was fast, whether because the driver was in a hurry or simply used to driving fast. Then, everyone saw the vehicles come to a stop just outside the trap zone. Suddenly, the window of the lead vehicle rolled down and a loudspeaker extended out. A voice said, "Listen up, people of Peace Base! It’s best you hand over our people from Chengtian Base. If you can’t do that, don’t blame us for not being polite!"

On the wall, Meng Ping and Deng Hong instinctively turned to look at Wan Hao because they recognized the speaker as Liu Yue, Wan Hao’s deputy. His voice had changed through the loudspeaker, but they were familiar enough with Liu Yue to recognize his voice. If the two of them recognized it, there was no reason Wan Hao wouldn’t.

Wan Hao was shocked. Never had he expected Liu Yue to be part of the arrival. The windows of these trucks were specially treated, allowing those inside to see out without difficulty, while outsiders had trouble seeing in. Initially, the three of them hadn’t known who was coming until Liu Yue started making demands.

At the same time, Liu Yue was also surprised. He had seen many people standing on the wall, but he had been too busy issuing warnings to take a closer look. As soon as he finished speaking, he spotted three familiar figures.

Seeing that the three men seemed fine, he wasn’t sure if it was really them. As he was uncertain, he heard the driver say, "Vice Captain, look! Captain Wan, Captain Deng, and Vice Captain Meng are all there! They’re all right!"

Although Liu Yue tended to be impulsive, he wasn’t foolish. He turned to the driver and asked, "So, if they’re all fine, why wouldn’t they send someone back to report? Why stay in that dump?"

His question made the driver also confused and realize that something was amiss.

Up on the wall, Deng Hong was speaking to Wan Hao, "Since they are your people, you might as well do the talking. Liu Yue is even more impetuous than I am, so make sure he doesn’t do anything rash!"

Wan Hao nodded, gesturing for the gate to be opened, and then called down to Liu Yue, "Come on in, there’s no problem inside, it’s safe!"

Liu Yue was skeptical, but after staring at Wan Hao for a good while and seeing that he didn’t appear to be under duress, he asked the driver beside him, "Does the captain look like he’s being controlled?"

The driver was observing as well and shook his head upon hearing the question, "Doesn’t seem like it! All three of them look normal. But why are there so many people on the wall? That’s a bit suspicious."

Liu Yue pondered for a moment and agreed, but after a brief hesitation, he decided, "Let’s go in. The captain wouldn’t harm us."

Just then, the gates of Peace Base were already opening, and at the same time, Wan Hao went out to welcome them at the entrance. Liu Yue then ordered, "Everyone listen! Enter the Base!"

As they entered, someone on the wall noticed something strange. Fang Yuxin was the first to sense that something wasn’t right. She noticed there was still a truck following behind, cleverly hidden in the woods beside the road, well-concealed by the trees making it difficult to spot.

So, she pointed and said, "There’s a truck hiding over there; it must be with the people who just arrived. They’ve already noticed what’s happening here."

Her voice was soft, but everyone could hear it clearly, as if she was speaking right in their ears. Many had already revered her after discovering that she was a Wood Element Level 4 Superpower User. Now, hearing her words, they were even more awed by Fang Yuxin’s unfathomable depth.

Meng Ping picked up a pair of binoculars and looked in the direction she indicated and, with her guidance, he easily found the truck Fang Yuxin had mentioned. Unfortunately, the treated windows prevented him from seeing who was inside.

Meanwhile, Deng Hong suggested, "No need to look. Just go and ask Liu Yue directly. He should know."

Meng Ping thought it over and felt Deng Hong was right, but he was more curious about what the people in the truck would do next. They must have seen the situation from their location, so would they come straight here or turn back?

At that moment, Gu Yong was grappling with the same question. He had indeed seen the situation ahead through his binoculars but couldn’t make out details because of the tree cover. He watched as Liu Yue’s caravan seemed to enter Peace Base, but he was clueless as to why.

He felt uneasy and curious, wondering why Liu Yue would obediently enter Peace Base. What was really inside that Base? (To be continued.
