Chapter 310: Deciding to Counterattack!
On his side, the combat power included himself, Fatty Xu, Uncle You, and Hua Hua.
The enemy had six Superhumans, and judging by the intelligence, each one possessed considerable strength.
Even the seemingly weakest of them, Fang Zun the "Flame Man," would be terrifying in the confined spaces of West Hill Base.
Still, it wasn’t completely hopeless.
If Zhang Yi could convince Liang Yue to join them, then they would have a chance.
After all, he had personally witnessed the strength of that martial arts grandmaster.
“No matter what, there are two essential conditions for carrying out this plan.”
“The first is ensuring that the missile Chen Xinian requested can hit West Hill Base accurately, throwing the base into chaos or even temporarily disabling it.”“The second is securing Liang Yue’s help, so we won’t be at a numbers disadvantage.”
“Besides these two requirements, I need a foolproof plan to ensure that even if the mission fails, I won’t die—that’s the most critical part!”
Zhang Yi went over the data several times, memorizing the abilities of each Superhuman in case they encountered each other one day, so he would know how to handle them.
Aside from the enemy forces, West Hill Base’s weaponry was also formidable.
However, that wasn’t much of a concern.
If Zhang Yi attacked during the chaos, the Special Forces wouldn’t be able to use large-scale weapons in the underground spaces.
His Dimensional Gate ability could counter regular soldiers’ weapons effectively.
“So, the key is how to sneak in, plant the explosives safely, and get out alive?”
Zhang Yi sat in the chair, frowning, his mind conflicted.
Lu Keran noticed Zhang Yi’s worried expression and playfully suggested, “Big Brother, if you can’t make up your mind, why don’t you discuss it with everyone?”
Yang Xinxin scoffed, “If we’re discussing it, we should talk among ourselves. What’s the point of talking to them?”
Sometimes, high intelligence and low emotional intelligence can go hand in hand.
Lu Keran smiled. “There’s an old saying: ‘Three ordinary folks together can outwit a strategist.’ Who knows? They might give you some inspiration!”
Zhang Yi thought for a moment, then smiled.
“You’re right. In fact, I was already planning to do just that.”
Although Zhang Yi had already made up his mind about attacking West Hill Base, he wanted to make sure his plan was as safe as possible to increase his chances of success.
To carry out the plan, he needed the support of Fatty Xu and Uncle You. While he believed they would back him, it was best to ask them directly.
“Let’s go. We’re going to have a meeting!”
Zhang Yi stepped out of the room and gathered everyone in the safe house into the living room.
In front of everyone, he explained his plan.
“We have a rare opportunity coming up to take down West Hill Base.”
“I think we all understand that our relationship with West Hill Base is beyond reconciliation. Only one of us can remain in this area.”
“I’m not someone who seeks conflict, but I won’t let others push me around either. This time, I’m determined to fight them!”
“But I can’t do it alone, so I need your help. What do you all think?”
Hearing Zhang Yi’s declaration of war against West Hill Base, everyone in the room had different reactions.
Some were excited, some were deep in thought, and some were worried...
Zhang Yi observed everyone’s expressions carefully.
However, only the opinions of Fatty Xu and Uncle You mattered to him—they were the key to his combat strategy.
“Uncle You, you’re the oldest here. Why don’t you share your thoughts first?”
Uncle You nodded at Zhang Yi’s invitation.
Sitting on the sofa, hands clasped together, he spoke seriously: “West Hill Base suffered heavy losses at Cloud Manor. There’s no chance of reconciliation now.”
“Instead of waiting to be killed, we should take the initiative! We’ve found a good opportunity to use their strength against them, and we should seize it!”
Uncle You looked up at Zhang Yi, his eyes firm. “Zhang Yi, I owe you so much. If you want to attack West Hill Base, I’ll be with you all the way!”
Zhang Yi and Uncle You exchanged smiles. Zhang Yi trusted Uncle You deeply, knowing he would always have his back.
After all, Uncle You was a man of honor, always repaying his debts.
Zhang Yi turned to Fatty Xu. “What about you, Fatty?”
Unlike Uncle You, Fatty Xu hesitated.
He was always cautious and timid, thinking over every action.
Hearing they were going to war with West Hill Base made him anxious.
“Can we really win? They’ve got a lot of Superhumans, an army, and way more weapons than we do.”
Zhang Yi replied calmly, “You don’t need to worry about that. In terms of Superhumans, we’re evenly matched.”
“As for the regular soldiers, I’ll handle them. You’ve seen what I can do, right?”
Zhang Yi looked down at Fatty Xu on the sofa, resisting the urge to punch him.
Zhang Yi considered himself cautious, but he hadn’t expected Fatty Xu to be even more so.
“Also, don’t forget how many people from Xu Family Town died because of them. Don’t you want to avenge them?”
Fatty Xu scratched his head. “Well... I didn’t really know most of the people from the village, so it’s not that big of a deal.”
Zhang Yi’s face twitched, and he fought the urge to tug on Fatty Xu’s chubby cheeks.
Before Zhang Yi could say anything more, Fatty Xu looked up and said, “But Boss, if you’re going to fight, I’ll fight with you!”
Zhang Yi raised an eyebrow, surprised. “Oh? You changed your mind that fast?”
Fatty Xu sighed.
“I’ve got food, shelter, and everything I need following you. If something happens to you, what’s the point of me living alone in this apocalypse?”
“Sometimes, you’ve just got to take a gamble!”
For the first time, Fatty Xu’s eyes were clear and determined as he raised his fist.
He might be cowardly, but he wasn’t stupid.
He knew that if he wanted to stay with Zhang Yi, he had to pull his weight. Why would Zhang Yi keep him around otherwise?
Zhang Yi smiled and nodded.
“Alright then, it’s decided!”
“We’re going to take down West Hill Base!”
Uncle You and Fatty Xu both nodded. “Let’s do it!”
The other women didn’t voice their opinions throughout the discussion.
Yang Xinxin and Lu Keran, being young, naturally supported Zhang Yi’s plan for revenge against West Hill Base.
As for Zhou Haimei, Zhou Ke’er, and Yang Siyah, they were slightly worried, but since Zhang Yi, Uncle You, and Fatty Xu had already made up their minds, they chose to support them.
Fatty Xu nervously reminded Zhang Yi, “Boss, you’ve got to make sure this plan is solid!”
“Don’t worry, I have no intention of dying any time soon.”
Zhang Yi smirked. “Next, we’re going to have a strategy meeting. I’ll introduce you to the enemies we’ll be facing and go over my plan.”
Uncle You said, “I can help with this. I’ve had professional military training from my time in the army.”
“Great, let’s do that!”
Zhang Yi then turned to Yang Xinxin and said, “Xinxin, give Uncle You and Fatty Xu an overview of West Hill Base. Let them see what I just looked at, so they know what we’re up against.”
They needed to understand the layout of West Hill Base and the abilities of their enemies.
Yang Xinxin nodded. “Got it. You two, come with me.”
She led them off to review West Hill Base’s intelligence.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yi moved aside and pulled out his phone to contact Liang Yue.
To attack West Hill Base, they needed timing, geography, and unity.
Timing referred to the missile strike on West Hill Base, which would throw the base into chaos.
Geography was the thorough understanding of the base’s layout, allowing them to plant explosives and destroy vital structures while killing everyone inside.
And unity depended on Liang Yue working with them, creating internal chaos while they attacked from the outside.
Of course, Liang Yue herself was also a powerful fighter.
Whether or not Liang Yue would cooperate was no mystery.
Right now, she needed Zhang Yi’s help, so there was no reason for her to refuse.
Zhang Yi pulled out his phone and sent Liang Yue a message.
“Thank you for helping us deal with a problem. I will fulfill my promise to help you escape. Be in a safe place by midnight tomorrow. That’s when your chance to escape will come.”
“We’ll be outside to assist. Make sure you’re ready to leave quickly.”
After a long wait, Zhang Yi finally received Liang Yue’s reply.
She had to be cautious with communication, so she couldn’t use the special phone card too freely.
“You’re coming to help us? That’s great! I’ll be there on time. But what’s your plan? Tell me so we can coordinate.”
Zhang Yi could feel her excitement.
He replied, “We’ve already taken control of West Hill Base’s network, so don’t worry about communication security.”
“By midnight tomorrow, something will happen at West Hill
Base. You’ll know what to do when the time comes. We’ll notify you of anything specific you need to do.”
Zhang Yi didn’t share the full details of the plan with Liang Yue.
She was indecisive, and if she knew Zhang Yi intended to blow up West Hill Base, she might not agree.
After all, that would mean killing thousands of people inside the base.
So, for safety’s sake, Zhang Yi kept the plan to himself.
Liang Yue replied, “Alright. We’ll find a safe place to hide before midnight and wait for you.”
“Good. It’s settled then.”
Zhang Yi put his phone away and headed to Yang Xinxin’s room to join Fatty Xu and Uncle You in planning the attack.
