Chapter 1284: The Argument before the Action

Wu Chengyue moved to Lin Qiao’s side and whispered to her while looking at the others, “I guess he has received the news.”

“How did it go?” Lin Qiao asked him, “It’s almost like what we expected, isn’t it?”

She knew that Wu Chengyue had received the message too. Judging by the extremely displeased look on Si Kongchen’s face, she figured he suffered worse than failure.

Wu Chengyue turned his eyes from side to side, then said to her smilingly, “They were going to take actions on both sides, but at last, they gave up on Sea City Base and gathered their people toward your base. However, Lin Feng and the others found out about their plan long ago. So, they were all harvested.”

Hundreds of energy nuclei at level five and six were harvested, together with three level-seven ones. Those would be enough for Lin Qiao to upgrade another batch of her zombie soldiers.

“Look at these people here. There aren’t many level six and five ones. The ones that Si Kongchen had sent to your base were over a hundred level-six ones and hundreds of level-five ones. He also lost three level-seven ones. Of course, he’s pissed off!” Wu Chengyue continued.

“He brought that upon himself. Whom can he possibly blame?” Lin Qiao snorted and said coldly.

At that point, Mongols Base presented their people for the mission as well. They had sent out eight people, one more than Green Mountain Base did. They were three level-six superpower possessors and five level-five ones, but no level-seven ones. As all the other bases had presented their people for the mission, everyone turned to Si Kongchen.

“Alright, I guess these are our people for the mission. I wonder how many people Huaxia Base will send?” Lan Lu asked Si Kongchen with a smile.

So far, Heilong Base sent the largest number of people out for the mission, over ten people. Sea City Base was known as the second-largest base in the country. However, as Lin Qiao would take part in the mission, Wu Chengyue only sent out ten people. After all, his base and hers could now be considered as an entity. Lin Qiao was a level-eight being, who wouldn’t need many to help her.

Si Kongchen’s heart sank once he heard Wei Haichao’s words. As Lan Lu mentioned Huaxia Base, he raised both hands and clapped near one side of his face with a sullen look. Next, a group of people walked out from behind the crowd of Huaxia people, being led by a gorgeous, long-legged woman.

Her beautiful face, perfect body shape, and long and slender legs immediately caught the attention of every man on the scene.

Xie Longyun slightly raised her chin as she stood by Si Kongchen’s side with a confident smile, resting both hands on her waist, “I’ll be leading all people from Huaxia Base during the mission. He is my vice-captain. Our team has forty-seven people, including fifteen level-six superpower possessors, thirty level-five ones. Xie is my family name, and you can call me Captain Xie.”

While speaking, she pointed at the man beside her. That was the vice-captain of the team. Having finished talking, she scanned the people on the scene with her seductive eyes, wearing a charming smile. Some men were greedily looking at her from head to toe. Their eyes lingered mostly on her chest and snow-white thighs. Hearing her voice, those men even swallowed saliva.

Xie Longyun not only looked stunning, but also had such a beautiful body and tempting voice. Those men who had been horny for years almost collapsed under her charm.

Following behind Xie Longyun was a group of men in camouflage combat suits, armed with advanced weapons and giving out strong vibes.

“Huaxia Base is indeed full of talents. I didn’t know you have such a pretty lady in your base!” Du Kunsheng said with laughter. His eyes boldly swept across Xie Longyun’s body, especially her thighs. He was always interested in pretty ladies, and he did love beautiful legs!

On hearing his words, Xie Longyun gave him a bland glance, without concealing the scorn in her eyes. Then, she soon turned to Wu Chengyue and Lin Qiao, who were standing side by side.

“These are my people,” said Si Kongchen coldly, “Since we’ve sent out more people than you guys have, we should be leading this action. During the action, everyone should follow our lead.”

What he said instantly changed the expressions of the others, who seemed to be a little displeased.

Du Kunsheng objected the first, “Wait. Follow your lead? Why? Why didn’t I hear anything about that before?”

Lan Lu joined the conversation with a smile, “That’s right. That wasn’t mentioned in the meeting. Besides, why decide who to lead by the number of people? Why don’t you decide by the level of power? Miss. Lu is from a small base, but she’s a level-eight superpower possessor. You want her to follow the lead of this level-seven captain from your base? Is that really appropriate?”

While speaking, he cast a glance at Xie Longyun with a faint scorn in his eyes. After that, he continued, “All Beings Base is a small base indeed, but we still need to respect its power, or, there might be consequences to suffer.”

He straightforwardly told Si Kongchen that in spite of the small size of All Beings Base, its leader was a level-eight being. Any powerful being should be respected. If she were displeased, she might destroy the entire Huaxia team in the underground realm and then come out. Si Kongchen wouldn’t even able to stop her from doing that. After all, she was also in close partnership with Sea City Base.

His words worsened the sulky look on Si Kongchen’s face.

“We’ve never heard about that, and we’ve never agreed on that. Chief Si, what gave you the confidence that the others would follow your lead in the underground realm?” Wu Chengyue said with a smile as those smiling eyes of his glowed with a cold light.

“Chief Si, are we stupid in your eyes? Can you at least give us a fair reason? Besides, aren’t we going to go on our separate ways after we get down? When did we agree that all people would be following someone’s lead?” Lin Qiao looked at Si Kongchen like she was looking an idiot. She didn’t understand why the man suddenly came up with such an idea.

“I don’t think people should go separate ways down there. After all, the underground world is not safe. For safety, I think the entire team should stay together. However, as this is a large team, there will certainly be disagreements. Following someone’s lead will allow action to be taken in an efficient way,” said Si Kongchen with a dark face. He made it sound like he made that decision for everyone’s good. No one could figure out his real purpose.

“I don’t think that’s necessary. After all, none of us has been down there before. No one knows what’s gonna be there waiting for us. I think we might as well explore the underground world in our own ways. Besides, who can guarantee that your pretty captain’s decisions will always be right?” Du Kunsheng disagreed again.
