Chapter 694: 372 Doubtful

Deng Hong was the first to speak, "Don’t worry, not a single one is in trouble. We had barely started fighting when these people showed up. They didn’t give us a hard time; they just let us surrender. At that time, two Level 4 Superpower Users appeared, and Meng Ping and I felt that we were no match for them. If it had come to a real fight, who knows how many of our men would’ve died, so we surrendered."

Wan Hao wasn’t a fool. He thought about it and then understood the crux of the matter, "So you’re staying here... are you planning to join them? Do you have other plans? If these people are really as formidable as you say, I doubt they’d be content to stay in this small base," he mused as he spoke, thinking things over.

He could guess somewhat at Deng Hong and Meng Ping’s intentions. Just by putting himself in their shoes, he knew what he would have done. What he wasn’t so sure about was how these people compared to Ji Chengtian. If they were even more excessive than Ji Chengtian, wouldn’t their situation be even worse?

Meng Ping read his thoughts and smiled, "Look at us. What do you think of our current state?" _{freewebnøvel.com}

Wan Hao was initially puzzled, but after observing him for a moment, he caught on. Deng Hong and Meng Ping had surrendered, and it seemed that there was not a single thing amiss with them both, implying that those people were probably not the sort to take a heavy hand.

Of course, this was just his speculation; whether the other side had any ulterior motives, he couldn’t tell.

Meng Ping continued, "Tonight, Wu Ke prepared a lavish dinner for them. Although our portion was somewhat worse, it did not leave us hungering. Afterwards, they bought some food from Wu Ke using Crystal Cores. Wu Ke even invited the Level 4 Wood Element Superpower User to help treat the injured in the base, and she agreed. Originally, many in Peace Base were injured during our siege, but once she took action, all of those people survived, not one died!"

Listening silently, Wan Hao suddenly felt that Meng Ping’s words had some persuasive power. First off, these people were so powerful and had entered the base; taking down the small Peace Base would have been a matter of minutes, but they didn’t do that. Instead, they used precious Crystal Cores to exchange for food with Wu Ke, which made him feel favorably towards them.

Long Province was a major grain-producing area, so many bases there were not short on food at the moment. Although Peace Base was small, it likely didn’t lack grain either. Comparatively, Crystal Cores were much more precious. You could only find them inside zombies’ brains, and the small scale of Peace Base meant there weren’t many capable individuals; obtaining Crystal Cores was not easy for them, so exchanging food for them was indeed advantageous.

Moreover, higher-level Superpower Users tended to have higher statuses and could be rather proud and dismissive of others. Ji Chengtian was exactly like that. Particularly, Wood Element Superpower Users, because of their healing abilities and the ability to encourage plant growth, enjoyed a unique advantage and were treated better than other types of Superpower Users, with high-level ones being regarded even more highly.

Meng Ping went on, "I inquired, and although they don’t often take action when they encounter Zombie Groups, mostly leaving it to others to resolve, they step forward themselves when the situation turns dangerous; they don’t let their people throw their lives away. I may not have seen this with my own eyes, but I believe it’s true. They have no reason to put on an act for us, right? Even if it was an act, they wouldn’t rush into a Zombie Group solo. It was only the three of them who took action, no one else even moved! I sneaked a peek at the crowd, and they seemed to take it all as normal."

Wan Hao’s eyes lit up, "Are you serious? Are they really that good?"

Meng Ping thought for a moment and said, "I don’t know how good they truly are, but I think they’re better than Ji Chengtian and worth trusting."

Wan Hao’s gaze flickered and he pondered a moment, then abruptly slammed a fist on the table and directly asked, "So what are your plans now?"
