Her thoughts were not much different from many at Peace Base, so when Fang Yuxin and his group entered the base, they received an unprecedentedly warm welcome. Wu Ke even proposed, to prepare a lavish dinner to welcome and dust them off.
This was absolutely a grand gesture! Their Hope Battle Group had almost five thousand people, plus about a thousand from Chengtian Base, totaling nearly six thousand people. Feeding so many was no small feat; Wu Ke was indeed willing to splurge!
Upon hearing Wu Ke’s words, Deng Hong couldn’t help but sneer, sending a mocking glance to Meng Ping—Wu Ke really knew how to suck up to people! Previously when they arrived, he had put on an "invincible" air, but now he was shamelessly currying favor.
Meng Ping disdainfully glanced at him—You don’t see who he’s trying to please! Do you think the Hope Battle Group isn’t worth pleasing?
Deng Hong instantly calmed down; how could it not be worth it? It was entirely worthwhile! They simply didn’t have valuable goods, or they too would have offered gifts. However... what good things could Peace Base possibly have?
Regardless of Deng Hong’s disdain, Wu Ke genuinely took this matter to heart. She found a place for the members of the Hope Battle Group to rest temporarily, then arranged for rooms so that they could have a place to stay.
Many at Peace Base had seen Fang Yuxin and his team in action and harbored intentions of ingratiating themselves, so there were no objections to Wu Ke’s orders; rather, preparations began eagerly.
Meanwhile, Wu Ke gathered some influential people in the base and held a meeting, discussing how to proceed. Her plan was naturally to align with the Hope Battle Group, but the prerequisite was to find a way to keep the Hope Battle Group from leaving and to take Ji Chengtian’s place at Chengtian Base.
Chengtian Base was not far from Peace Base, allowing mutual aid and support. In the face of an overwhelming crisis, they could send Mutated Birds for help. But once the Hope Battle Group left, they feared Chengtian Base would instantly overpower them and reduce them to Ji Chengtian’s slaves!
Bai Ye nodded and said, "I also agree to take down Chengtian Base."
The remaining three battle group captains had no objections either and nodded in agreement; thus, the matter was settled. Satisfied, Bai Zhengli nodded his head and continued, "Since that’s the case, let’s discuss how to take down Chengtian Base."
The meeting continued while on another front, Deng Hong was speaking with Meng Ping. Although Deng Hong usually disliked Meng Ping, at this moment he had to admit that Meng was smarter. So he simply asked, "Do you think they’ll take down Chengtian Base?"
Meng Ping was staring out the window at that time. He pretended not to hear Deng Hong’s words and didn’t answer. After waiting a while and seeing that he still refused to answer, Deng Hong grew angry, "Meng Ping, I’m talking to you!"
Finally, Meng Ping turned to give him a look, mysteriously saying, "The problem now isn’t whether they’re willing to take down Chengtian Base, but how they plan to do it. You know the Protection Wall of Chengtian Base is virtually impregnable!" (To be continued.
