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