“Green Mountain Base?” Lu Zhuofeng frowned slightly.
He had never heard about that base before. That name was very strange for him indeed.
“Is that the new name of the base in Upper City District? Are those people from Upper City District?” He asked.
His subordinate shook his head and said with a serious look, “No, it’s not them. We don’t know where they came from, and we can’t find any background information about them. They aren’t from Upper City District, and… they’re all strong. If they were from the old Hades Base, we would at least know some of them. I heard that one of those Green Mountain Base people is also at level-eight. He’s accompanied by two level-seven men.”
“What? Level eight! That’s impossible! If he’s at level-eight, how come none of the other bases know about those people? And two level-seven? Those are chief-level people!” Lu Zhuofeng slightly widened his eyes as he looked at his subordinate with disbelief.
“Now, all the other bases have been secretly investigating those people, but no one has made any progress yet.” The subordinate had foreseen Lu Zhuofeng’s reaction, so he didn’t show much expression change.
Hearing his words, Lu Zhuofeng realized that what he said was true. He dropped his eyelids as he slightly lowered his head and fell into deep thoughts.
At this time, Wu Chengyue was also listening to the news which Xiao Licheng brought back. It was also about Green Mountain Base.
“Eh? Are they who I think they are? Didn’t they bring that dog to our base too last time?” said Wu Chengyue.
“Yeah, it’s them. But this time, that man named Lei Cheng isn’t leading the team. Instead, it’s another man called Lan Lu. I heard that he’s already at level-eight. Lei Cheng and the vice-squad-leader who was with him last time only came here as that man’s subordinates this time,” Xiao Licheng took a glimpse at the files in his hands, then said to Wu Chengyue.
“Level-eight! Since when can level-eight people be found everywhere? Why are they emerging one after another?” Wu Chengyue said expressionlessly. The smile on his face was gone.
“Green Mountain Base people have been keeping their background very secret. We couldn’t find any information about them, neither could the other bases,” Xiao Licheng said.
Last time when those people visited Sea City Base, Wu Chengyue and his people had already started feeling strange about them. A level-seven traitor from that base became a robber. Once those people showed up, all the information about the robber was gone. Some said that it was Miss. Lu from Upper City District who finished that robber. However, those two men from Green Mountain Base were both at a very high-level, so they might be the one who killed that robber. And now, a level-eight being from that base emerged, who was clearly a leader. Based on the known information about that base, it was no weaker than a medium-sized base.
Nevertheless, a base like this had been hiding itself without making contacts with other bases at all. Their people rarely showed up in the outside world. If it weren’t for that robber named Tang He, people wouldn’t know about their existence until recently.
Wu Chengyue wondered how Huaxia Base would treat Green Mountain Base. Perhaps, those two bases had been making secret contacts all this while.
“They have grown such a strength secretly, which means that they have their own way. I’m only wondering why they chose to show up in public now. After all, they’re already so strong. What do they want?” Wu Chengyue leaned on the back of the couch as he crossed his hands before his chest, then raised a hand to rub his chin.
“Their people seem to never show up in big groups. Last time, only two men and a dog visited our base, and this time, they only sent seven people along with that dog! However, the power levels of those people are scarily high. How have they been upgrading?” Xiao Licheng felt confused too, “In fact, except for the level-eight Lan Lu, the level-seven Lei Cheng, the level-six Zheng Hao, the rest of them are at high levels as well. Among the rest of their team, there’s one level-seven, one level-six, and two level-five.”
Those were only seven people, but not even three armies or more could hurt them. How many high-leveled people did they have in their base? They wouldn’t possibly send all the strongest people in their base here, would they?
“What about the other bases? Who are those people that have come here?” Wu Chengyue abruptly asked about the other bases.
“Oh,” Xiao Licheng leafed through the files in his hands and then continued, “Lu Zhuofeng from Hidden Cloud City Base brought Lan Qijie, who used to manage weapons in Earth Dragon Base. He didn’t bring many soldiers though, only about five hundred men. He Mu from Sky Fire Base has gone missing, so the other leader of that base named Li Zhengye came here with a vice-leader called Xu Changmu. As for Mongols Base, one of their leaders, Bao Chengzhi, has arrived. He didn’t bring any army force, only about a hundred guards.”
“Among all bases, Mongols Base is the nearest to Huaxia Base, and those two bases have been very friendly to each other. So, he doesn’t need to bring an army here,” Wu Chengyue nodded.
Xiao Licheng nodded as well,” You’re right. These two bases have been working closely with each other in the recent few years. Anyways, the Heilong Base has sent one of their leaders, Gao Haoyun, and two level-six men. One of those two is a vice-leader, and the other one is a leader of a zombie-hunting troop. They brought nearly three-hundred men.”
“Gao Haoyun as the ice-powered man, right?” Wu Chengyue said.
“Yes. So, Earth Dragon Base and Hades Base are gone, and Green Mountain Base is a newly emerged base. Including you, three level-eight people have come to this base. So, I think Mongols Base, Sky Fire Base, and Heilong Base will be at a disadvantage this time,” Xiao Licheng said.
“I doubt that. Those bases are relatively weaker indeed, but perhaps they have some backup plans,” Wu Chengyue shook his head and said, “Besides, that mysterious Green Mountain Base must have caught all the attention now. We won’t make any move, but that doesn’t mean that Lu Zhuofeng won’t either.”
“You’re right,” Xiao Licheng nodded.
Not to mention the fact that all bases had sent their leaders to Huaxia Base, the most probable result of the meeting would be people placing orders first, then returning to their bases to prepare the supplies which they promised Huaxia Base. The price hadn’t been published yet, so no base leader would bring a certain amount of supplies.
The people who managed to purchase the antidote successfully might encounter robbery on their way back to their bases. The final results of that would be decided by the strength difference between those bases. If Wu Chengyue didn’t make a move, Green Mountain Base and Hidden Cloud City Base would be the only two bases able to rob the other bases. They needed to figure out each other’s plans first, in case they bumped into each other while taking action.
If Hidden Cloud City Base had that kind of plan, their neighbors, the Sky Fire Base, would certainly become their target. Which side Green Mountain Base was on? Hidden Cloud City Base would definitely be extra careful, because they weren’t able to dig out Green Mountain Base’s background.
