Chapter 699: 375 The situation is bizarre

Gu Yong was hesitating whether to go and have a look at what was up ahead, but just then, he suddenly felt someone watching him from Peace Base—his heart instantly went cold—who was watching him?

He felt very uneasy, sensing that the other party was not someone he could deal with. After hesitating, he simply ordered, "Turn around and go back! There’s something very wrong with this Peace Base!"

The driver was worried, "But Liu Yue has already led people inside. A thousand people have just vanished before our eyes. How are we going to explain ourselves if we just go back?"

Gu Yong, however, was quite insistent, "Explain what? Just tell the truth. It’s obvious that their strength is far superior to ours. What can we do? Those people inside are not ones we can deal with. Going in would only mean more bad luck than good!"

Seeing his distressed expression, the driver didn’t dare to persuade him further and obediently reversed course to return. However, they hadn’t gone far when they ran into the group led by Ji Chengtian.

These people, upon discovering them, immediately questioned, "Gu Yong, what’s going on? Why are you coming back suddenly? What’s the situation? Do you know what’s happening with Peace Base?"

Gu Yong was already feeling uneasy, and upon hearing these words, his face changed instantly. He hurriedly rolled down the window, stuck his head out, and said loudly, "The situation at Peace Base is very strange. A mysterious expert has appeared inside. That person is incredibly powerful, probably a high-level mental superpower user, and can even control people’s minds! Liu Yue had just arrived at the outskirts of the base when he drove straight in. It’s too strange! I felt the situation was serious and didn’t dare to delay, so I rushed back to report! Where’s the City Lord? I need to see the City Lord. This matter must be made known to him as soon as possible so he can decide!"

His voice was quite loud, so pretty much everyone in the convoy heard him. When they heard this news, they also grew uneasy. The fear of the unknown is the most terrifying, and at this moment, it was exactly that. Gu Yong only mentioned that a mysterious spiritual expert had appeared in Peace Base, capable of controlling people, but as for the specific details, even he wasn’t clear. After hearing this, everyone became fretful.

At the same time, many people were filled with doubt—Peace Base was just an ordinary, small base. Where could such a powerful expert come from? The most extraordinary person there was probably Wu Ke, who could communicate with animals and had contracted a large number of Mutant Beasts and Mutated Birds; no spiritual expert had ever been mentioned. Could this person have been hiding all this time?

Many people were confused; after all, Liu Yue, despite being impulsive, was a Third-level Superpower User. To control him so easily, the spiritual superpower user must be at least at the Third-level Peak, right? If such an expert really existed, why hadn’t they revealed themselves when they were threatening Peace Base earlier?

Ji Chengtian was furious. He thought Gu Yong was completely useless. He had sent him to scout out the situation, yet all Gu Yong did was see something vague and got scared, turning back and shouting about it, causing everyone to panic!

The people by his side cautiously observed his mood, hesitating to ask, "City Lord, what should we do now? Should we try to rescue our people?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Chengtian hesitated. If what Gu Yong said was true, the one who controlled Liu Yue and his men had to be at least a Third-level Peak spiritual superpower user. Such superpower users were quite troublesome, especially those who could control people; Ji Chengtian had no confidence at all!

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to rescue them; in fact, he was anxious as well. But if the opponent was that powerful, and he lost, what then? With so many people here, all looking up to him as if he were a deity because of his strength, if he lost, their reverence for him would undoubtedly diminish, and that would affect his rule over Chengtian Base!

But, after all, there were more than a thousand people. If he just gave up on them, what would his subordinates think? Liu Yue had only just gone in; if he went to rescue them now, he should still be in time. But if he went too late, then it could be more bad luck than good for those people!

Ji Chengtian was indecisive, feeling that neither going nor staying was a good idea. But now, at this critical juncture, he didn’t have time to think it over, which made him even more conflicted.

Those by his side saw all this silently, feeling disheartened. The incident with more than a thousand people led by Deng Hong and Meng Ping was one thing—they hadn’t known about it, so naturally, they couldn’t help. But now, Liu Yue had only just had trouble, and although Ji Chengtian was clearly the most powerful, his refusal to make a move to save them chilled their hearts.
