Chapter 701: 376 Abandon

They were there to rescue, after all, so from the start, they focused their attention on Liu Yue, Deng Hong, and the others, neglecting to notice anyone else. But when they did take a look, the three leaders discovered they couldn’t see through Bai Ye and his group’s levels! Even just by glancing at them once, they got the feeling that the others were unfathomable.

The three of them felt a chill in their hearts and were quite uneasy. They carefully sized up the trio again, speculating in their minds, which one of them was the Third-level Peak Spiritual Superpower User?

However, thinking of Meng Ping’s words, they couldn’t help but entertain other thoughts. If Ji Chengtian, who was unscrupulous in his actions, could really be replaced...

Seeing that the people below kept dawdling, seemingly unable to make up their minds, the rather impatient Deng Hong and Liu Yue were growing frustrated. Liu Yue was the first to speak out, "Hey, what are you all dithering for? I’ve already come in, and nothing has happened; what are you afraid of?"

After a quiet discussion among themselves, the three eventually decided—to take a risk!

When they had set out, they had already prepared to lay down their lives; now it was just a matter of entering the Base, what was there to fear? At worst, it would mean death, but before they died, they were certain they could take someone down with them!

With that, the three leaders gave the order for everyone to drive into the Base.

Ji Chengtian and his men followed them at a distance, keeping a gap large enough to avoid provoking that "mysterious expert" inside Peace Base. They didn’t dare to approach and were merely observing from a distance, not hearing what the people here were actually saying. Ji Chengtian thought to himself that since he was witnessing everything, he didn’t believe the other party would dare to try anything sneaky right under his nose!

Little did he know, in no time, the people in front had all voluntarily entered Peace Base, and they seemed to be doing it willingly! Ji Chengtian was instantly furious—who exactly was that mysterious expert? To dare to meddle with his people under his watch was to seriously underestimate him!

At the same time, he also resented the people up front for their uselessness, unable to hold out for even ten minutes before they were fooled and willingly walked into the trap!

As he was seething with anger, someone suddenly asked, "City Lord, what do we do now? They’ve all gone in!"

Ji Chengtian squinted his eyes but did not answer. He knew that if he did not go to the rescue now, the people inside would probably face a grim fate, but he also had concerns. There were still around two thousand people left with him, while the other party had a formidable Spiritual Superpower User, which made him quite wary. Spiritual superpower users were inherently mysterious, their abilities bizarre and unpredictable. Currently stuck at the Third-level Peak with no way to advance, he had no sure chance of victory and naturally did not dare to act recklessly.

After hesitating, he gave the order, "Something isn’t right! There must be some situation inside Peace Base; it’s too dangerous there. We’re not sufficiently prepared and must not rashly go in. Retreat for today, and come back tomorrow once we’re ready!"

After he said this, the expressions on the faces of others turned somewhat ugly—weren’t they just going to abandon the others? If the situation inside was really as dangerous as Ji Chengtian had said, by the time they arrived tomorrow, would those people even still be alive?

Seeing the dissatisfaction among the people, Ji Chengtian’s expression darkened, and he raised his voice, "Didn’t you see just now? That Spiritual Superpower User’s abilities are too bizarre! If you go now, not to mention failing to save anyone, you might end up getting trapped yourselves! As for the safety of those people, you don’t have to worry, they probably won’t be in any mortal danger."

Although the others were still uneasy, Ji Chengtian’s words made some sense, so they decided to follow his orders, withdraw for now, and come back fully prepared the next day—to sweep them all up in one fell swoop!

Seeing that they nodded in agreement to retreat, Ji Chengtian’s sullen face eased slightly. The others, seeing this, silently breathed a sigh of relief. They were not afraid of zombies, but they were most afraid of Ji Chengtian! What they didn’t know was that at this very moment, Ji Chengtian had also quietly breathed a sigh of relief. If these people had insisted on going to the rescue, he wasn’t sure what to do. Fortunately, they were still sensible.

With differing thoughts, they tacitly retreated together, deciding to return to the Base and then make ample preparations. Standing on the Protection Wall, Deng Hong, Meng Ping, and others watched this scene and shook their heads in disappointment. They had suspected Ji Chengtian wouldn’t easily come to the rescue, but they never expected him to so readily abandon them all!
