625 The Undercurrents in the Meeting (2/2)

He meant that no one was allowed to leave before the thief was found, and when he found out who did it, a war might begin.

Bases on the current military power of each base, no base would want to fight Huaxia Base. After all, no other base had as strong a military strength as Huaxia Base did. Huaxia Base had the power to fight even two or even three bases at one time.

Huaxia Base didn't only have a large population. Almost all the two-million residents in that base had their specialties.

Huaxia Base was built up step by step by over two-million survivors. So, without any questions, the living condition in that base was surely much better than that in some sparsely-populated base. In terms of population, Sea City Base was the second largest base in the country. However, as a base with one-million and two-hundred-thousand residents, Sea City Base wasn't even one third as powerful as Huaxia Base. But still, it was considered the second strongest base. The third and fourth largest bases had the same size of population. The third base was Heilong Base, which had about eight-hundred-thousand survivors from Northeast China, while the fourth was the Hidden Cloud City Base, which had over seven-hundred-thousand people.

In fact, more survivors lived in South China than in the Northeast, yet those survivors were divided into two parts by Hades Base and Earth Dragon Base. If those two bases merged into one, their population would reach the top three. However, having a large population was not a good thing for a base. Large population meant large consumption. Without good productivity, a richly populated base would eventually become overcrowded.

Therefore, Long Yubai only wanted the supplies that belonged to Hades Base, but massacred the residents in Hades Base. He could not afford so many people.

Huaxia Base people were confident about the strength of their base, because their base was rich enough to feed two million people. Otherwise, Si Kongchen wouldn't threaten the other base leaders openly.

Some of the others had their hearts sinking while others didn't really care.

Lan Lu stared at Si Kongchen without saying anything.

”What's wrong? Chief Lan, do you have something to say?” Sensing his gaze, Si Kongchen turned and asked him with a smile.

”I'm wondering who has the guts to offend Huaxia Base. You are such a strong base after all. I think even Sea City Base wouldn't do it,” Lan smiled, then abruptly turned to Wu Chengyue.

”Of course, we wouldn't do that! We always treasure peace, so we'd never do such a thankless thing. Why would we? Besides, we had an important researcher who was focusing on anti-virus related research, yet that traitor from your base killed him. The relevant projects in our base have all been stopped. Even if we get that special zombie, we wouldn't be able to study anything from it, right?” Wu Chengyue responded, also with a smile.

”Haha, I know about that thing. Your base is too peaceful. The opposite would only be someone like Yang Chao who emerged amongst you. If it weren't for him, that doctor would still be alive,” Li Zhengye abruptly added as he smiled at Wu Chengyue while speaking.

Wu Chengyue nodded, ”Chief Li, I guess you are right. Our life was so easy that we even forgot that the zombies outside the base were our biggest enemy.”

”So, I was wondering who on earth had such confidence to steal that zombie. After all, even Sea City Base wouldn't take a risk to do it,” Lan Lu turned back to Si Kongchen and said.
