Chapter 1426 - Clarify One Thing (1/2)

As Wu Chengyue decided to choose his wife and son over Sea City Base, which he founded single-handedly, Lin Feng and the others called a plenary meeting with the human residents who were still staying in All Beings Base.

Apart from the soldiers under the command of Yuan Tianxing and Lin Feng, most of the members of the Three Months Hunters’ Group, which was led by Dong Xinxin, also stayed in the base. The people from the other hunters’ groups that joined the base together with Three Months Hunters’ Group had all been sent back to Sea City Base along with the commoners. However, Dong Xinxin and her people refused to leave. They had only sent some families, who weren’t capable of fighting, to Sea City Base.

On the square in the inner sector of the base, the corps led by Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing were standing on one side orderly. In the middle of the square were the new corps that had joined the base less than three months ago. Standing on the other side of the square were Dong Xinxin, her people, and the other residents who were able to fight and weren’t willing to take the shelter in the Sea City Base.

“What are they doing? Why did they suddenly summon all of us? Aren’t we gonna do anything about those creatures out there?” Among Dong Xinxin’s people, Luo Yuanjun was the first to start asking questions. Because of his dark skin, his handsome face now looked much more manly than before. As he spoke, his bright eyes rolled from side to side.

Deng Chenfei and Dong Lijia turned to Dong Xinxin together.

Dong Xinxin shrugged and said, “Why are you guys looking at me? How am I supposed to know what’s going on?”

Dong Lijia looked from side to side with his eyes narrowed and mouth corners twisted in a small smile. The others couldn’t tell if he were really smiling or not. He looked around and said, “They’re not going to ask us to leave, are they? Do you guys remember what Wenwen had said to us when we first came here?”

Being reminded by him, Dong Xinxin immediately recalled Lin Wenwen’s words. She had said that they might need to choose between staying and leaving at some point, and that if they chose to leave, she would hope that they wouldn’t see her and her people as enemies.

“Is that so?” Dong Xinxin looked at Lin Feng and the others, saying, “They’re here.”

At that moment, Lin Feng and Yuan Tianxing walked onto the podium. Following behind them were Li Zheng, Lin Wenwen, Chen Yuting, Du Yuanxing, and the others.

Standing on the podium, Lin Feng expressionlessly glanced at the thousands of people on the scene and started talking loudly, “Don’t worry! Even though you are all here, we still have some other people guarding the base against those underground creatures out there. Those creatures won’t be able to rush into our base for the time being. Today, we called you together to clarify one thing. A small number of you have already known about it, but most of you haven’t.”

After saying that, he paused briefly to give people some time to process his words and prepare themselves mentally for what he was about to say. The small part of the people that he mentioned included Qin Yu, her partner Sun Lunan, Dou Yunfan, and Jiang Anan, Lin Jing, and some others.

On hearing his words, Dong Xinxin and Dong Lijia glanced at each other, and both had comprehension dawning on their faces.

“You were never informed about what Base Number Two is like and what’s in there, and why you are forbidden from approaching that area. I am going to give you the answers now, because even if I don’t do that today, you’ll probably hear about it soon.” In a military suit, Lin Feng stood straight with his legs apart, his cape swaying slightly in the wind.

Under the brim of his hat, his eyes wore a cold and serious look. “I am now going to tell you why we forbade you from approaching Base Number Two,” he continued, “Without the residents in Base Number Two, this base could never have been built up. Without them, your life here wouldn’t have been so comfortable. However, they are not humans. In fact, some other people think that they are the enemies of humans.”

“Not humans?” The last part of Lin Feng’s speech successfully stirred the crowd on the scene.

Dong Xinxin and her people glanced at each other with confusion. “Not humans? Are they mutated animals? Or even zombies?” said Dong Xinxin.
