625 The Undercurrents in the Meeting (1/2)
”Ah, I've heard about that base. It seems that it's still under construction. I guess that Sea City Base knows them the best as their neighbor,” Si Kongchen smiled as he glanced at Wu Chengyue and said.
”Is that why you didn't invite them? Because their base is still under construction?” Wu Chengyue smilingly looked at him.
”I wonder if they can build the base or not. After all, they don't even have one level-seven member. They are just some survivors of the old Hades Base. I figured that they have no reason to waste the time to come all the way here, as that might slow down the construction work,” Si Kongchen laughed to Wu Chengyue, then turned to the people from Hidden Cloud City Base and Sky Fire Base while speaking.
Hearing that, the others reacted in different ways.
Wu Chengyue, Lan Lu, and Lu Zhuofeng learned that Si Kongchen didn't know that new base enough. He hadn't even paid any attention to it yet. So, in his eyes, that new base was only a gathering spot of a group of people. He believed that building a new base would be a very difficult thing for those people, not to mention expanding their force.
He thought that that new base didn't even have a level-seven member. Even if Sea City Base didn't intend to touch it, any base like Earth Dragon Base would destroy it. Even if no base wanted to lay a finger on it, high-leveled zombies might attack those people. A few groups of zombies would have flattened that small, new base. Based on those thoughts, Si Kongchen figured that they couldn't possibly have many supplies in store, so he had no interest in that base.
Unlike him, the people from the bases which were relatively closer to that new base knew that although that base was underpopulated, it was not weak. The farther bases didn't know much about that new base, because they hadn't been collecting information about them. In their eyes, that was just some place those Hades Base survivors chose to stay.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
They also felt strange though. Those people did not have great powers, so why didn't they just join another base? Hidden Cloud City Base and Sky Fire Base were their enemies, but they could have joined Sky Cloud Base. Why did they insist on building a new base by themselves? Were they able to do that?
It was reasonable that Huaxia Base had no interest in it.
”You didn't invite them, but it doesn't mean that they won't come,” Li Zhengye from Sky Fire Base abruptly joined the conversation. Hearing him, both Wu Chengyue and Lan Lu glanced at him, then turned to the others silently.
He Mu had gone missing. Therefore, Li Zhengye didn't gather more information than Lu Zhuofeng. He said that purely to make things sound worse.
”If they did come, we'd welcome them,” Si Kongchen's chiseled face wore a careless smile. As far as he knew, no one but the people in this room and their subordinates had entered his base recently. The people from that new base didn't show up, or, they came in along with those from the other bases.
”But, I don't think they have the capability to steal from my base. Believe me, there will soon come a result,” Si Kongchen brought up the original topic again and continued, ”If the culprit returns the stolen object unharmed, some of our bullets and bombs might be saved. Because, if we find out who did it before that, things will become ugly for all of us.”
His words made everyone's face darken slightly, but soon, people adjusted their expressions.
Would Huaxia Base ever be in short of weapons? Surely not! So, when Si Kongchen said that to the other base leaders, his words contained a threatening meaning.
