The woman, hit until she dared not speak, could only glare resentfully at Fu Yunting.
The man, after wiping his hands, sized up Fu Yunting with a rogue-like grin.
"Heard you're a seventh-tier, not bad. My base only has nine seventh-tiers, a bit few."
"Because of this, we're always in a standoff with the other two bases."
"If the three of you joined us, our base's strength would increase."
Fu Yunting replied, "I'm not interested in your blueprint. Which base I join also depends on their strength and conditions. You have many people, but it's useless without combat power."
Jiangnan added, "Exactly. We saw a lot of ordinary people when we came in. In a base of hundreds of thousands, more than half are ordinary people. Do they have combat power?"
Jiangbei chimed in, "We just want to find a comfortable place to stop drifting. If we have to take care of a bunch of people after joining, it'll be too tiring."
The three of them wouldn't be suckers.
This was understandable.
However, the man still felt uncomfortable.
If it were anyone else, he would have gotten angry.
But before him stood three seventh-tier powerhouses.
Only those with strength could negotiate.
"My name is Liu Dazhuang, and I'm the boss of this base. This place was a military base before, public property."
"After I came in, I felt the management style of those people was too effeminate and unfair to the strong."
"Just like you said, why should the strong help the weak? We should naturally get more."
Liu Dazhuang opened the door to the sixth floor, and after leaving the metal passage, he came to a fingerprint lock.
Liu Dazhuang pressed his fingerprint and said, "I instigated a mutiny then and took over this base. Moreover, I established a rule."
The large door opened, and Fu Yunting stepped in, seeing a warehouse full of weapons.
He touched the firearms and ammunition and said indifferently, "What is it? The rule."
"In our base, there are only two shortcuts to move up. Either you bring me enough supplies, or you kill your opponent on the arena. After ten consecutive wins, you can be promoted to an officer."
"I'm very fair, right? Everyone has a chance to be an officer!"
Fu Yunting walked around the armory.
Wang Meixia also found it strange, "Are you even listening? The boss is talking to you!"
Cao Feng quietly advised, "Great gods at higher tiers tend to have tempers, please forgive him!"
Wang Meixia, having just been slapped, still had blood on the corner of her mouth and didn't dare to speak rashly.
She could only glare at Fu Yunting with resentful eyes.
Jiangnan said, "It seems the foundation is solid. Having a powerful backing makes us feel at ease."
"So, you've decided to join?"
Liu Dazhuang extended his hand to Jiangnan. As Jiangnan shook it, he felt the man's strength trying to seep into his body.
Jiangnan unceremoniously pushed the force back.
Liu Dazhuang, also a seventh-tier fire element user, hadn't expected Jiangnan to so easily repel him.
This startled Liu Dazhuang.
They were both seventh-tier, both fire element users, so why was this guy so much stronger?
Liu Dazhuang's heart immediately bred malicious intent.
Jiangnan had led a base before. He knew what these leaders were thinking.
I am the number one in the world, how can I let others step on me?
Any potential danger must be eliminated.
Liu Dazhuang immediately became wary of the three of them.
Liu Dazhuang said, "I've shown you the equipment, that's sincere enough, right? Shouldn't you also show me some sincerity?"
Jiangnan asked, "What sincerity do you want to see?"
"I see you are all capable individuals. How about this, show us your abilities. Ten consecutive wins on the arena, and I'll directly make you leaders, how about that?"
Liu Dazhuang had already decided to keep only Fu Yunting and send his two subordinates to the arena.
Liu Dazhuang put his arm around Fu Yunting's shoulder, speaking with a hint of threat.
"You also want to quickly establish a foothold in the base, right? Going on the arena is the best choice!"
Fu Yunting had already walked more than half the circle of the room.
He turned and nodded.
"I'm done here."
Jiangnan let out a sigh of relief, "Finally done. I couldn't stand being in such a stinking place for even a second."
Liu Dazhuang realized something was wrong and threw a fiery fist towards Jiangnan's head.
With the force of ten thousand catties mixed with intense flames, Jiangnan's head flashed like a ball of fire.
Liu Dazhuang froze, looking at Jiangnan with an expression of disbelief, as if seeing a ghost.
Jiangnan rotated his neck, and his head returned to normal.
He chuckled, "Why would you suddenly sneak attack someone? We're all civilized people, don't you know about courtesy before combat?"
"You, what are you?"
He had never seen a human capable of this.
Jiangnan smiled, "I'm just a fire element ability user, but I'm almost eighth-tier!"
Jiangnan's smile faded, and he transformed into a ball of flame, enveloping Liu Dazhuang and his lover, and flew upwards.
He directly broke through the ground and soared into the sky outside.
Sha Xing shouted, "The signal is here, charge!"
All the zombies stood up from the snow caves and charged towards the base.
The sudden appearance of a hundred thousand zombies threw the base guards into chaos.
They quickly retreated into the base, shouting, "Close the gates quickly! As long as the gates are closed, they can't get in!"
"Cannons, bring out the cannons! We're being attacked by a zombie horde!"
Dozens of cannons were brought out and aimed at the zombie horde.
Just as they were about to fire, a bizarre scene occurred.
The muzzles of the cannons decomposed!
All the cannon muzzles began to break apart and drift into the void.
Everyone was dumbfounded. What was happening?
Was it an illusion?
Or were they all hallucinating collectively?
"Heavens, the walls, what happened to the walls?"
Everyone saw the walls also developing large holes, just like in a sci-fi movie.
Those inside were doing their business when suddenly the light brightened.
Seeing a swarm of zombies charging towards them, they foolishly pinched themselves.
"Ouch, it hurts a bit, I'm not dreaming!"
Feitian was the first to rush into the base and bit off someone's head.
"Hahaha, I got the first kill!"
The people of Honghui Base were stunned.
The base was impregnable; it had always been their sanctuary.
Why was it breached in an instant?
They never dreamed that Fu Yunting had merely smeared a bit of blood on the wall, and it had seeped through the steel plates of the base.
It was easy to create an opening in a large base.
But an ability user would immediately seal it.
Only by collapsing from the inside was the best method.
The base began to collapse, and the weapons became unusable.
These people were caught off guard, like lambs to the slaughter, and the members on the first floor were cleared out in an instant.
The second floor quickly lowered the emergency steel plates.
The emergency system was independent of other systems and was not affected by the blood.
But it didn't matter.
"Slow down!"
Sha Xing reduced time to one ten-thousandth, looking down at the crowd through the gap, and chuckled.
