Chapter 1222: Going to Huaxia Base or Not

After returning to Sea City, Wu Chengyue had been paying close attention to the underground creatures that had shown up near Sea City Base. He had been sending out his men to collect information about those creatures. While trying to figure out their features and weaknesses, he had also been trying to find out about Huaxia Base’s recent movements.
Huaxia Base had called for a grand meeting and invited all base leaders to talk about the underground creatures. Who knew if they would play some other tricks under the cover of the meeting?
Mankind needed to unite to win the war. But, judging by Si Kongchen’s previous behavior, he might grasp the opportunity to stab Sea City Base in the back while everyone else was fighting against the underground creatures, and destroy Sea City Base.
After all, Si Kongchen’s true purpose would only be keeping Huaxia Base safe. He wouldn’t want to help anyone else.
He called for the grand meeting and invited the other base leaders to talk about those enormous, dangerous underground creatures, because he was seeking to find out if those creatures had anything in common, or if the others knew something crucial that he didn’t know yet.
At the moment, Wu Chengyue, Xiao Yunlong, Zou Shihui, and a few Deputy Chiefs were having a meeting.
“Si Kongchen called for the meeting and said that the leaders of all bases should get together to see if there’s any way to defeat those creatures. However, he didn’t give a specific time when the meeting will take place. It’s not gonna be a simple meeting, is it?” Xiao Yunlong furrowed his brows and said while reading a copy of the invitation.
Zou Shihui nodded in agreement, “That’s what I’m thinking. I think we shouldn’t go. If we went for the meeting, either the ones who attended the meeting or our base might be facing danger. Si Kongchen won’t be able to do anything to us if we refuse to go.”
“But, all the other bases will attend the meeting, right? Besides, Si Kongchen only invited us to talk about underground creature crisis. It’s a perfectly reasonable excuse to call for the meeting. Wouldn’t it seem a little inappropriate if we don’t attend to the meeting?” Xiao Yunlong was going to agree with Zou Shihui, but he thought for a moment, and then found it to be a little inappropriate.
At that moment, Wu Chengyue joined the conversation, “Today, I heard the news that the last batch of Earth Dragon Base residents were attacked by some unknown creatures. None of them survived. Also, Sky Fire Base was under the attack of two different types of enormous insects which were never seen before. Currently, great numbers of Sky Fire Base people are fleeing toward Huaxia Base. This proves that the underground creature crisis has reached a new level. Which base will be attacked the next? I’m not saying that Zou is wrong. If we go for the meeting, Sea City Base might be in danger, but the meeting might also provide us with a gleam of hope. After all, the discussion that Si Kongchen mentioned will happen for real.”
More people, greater power… The research about underground creatures that they had been doing in their own base wasn’t making great progresses. Exchanging information with the other bases might create a better chance.
If they didn’t go to the meeting, they might miss some important information. In the post-apocalyptic era, any piece of information could lead to a chance of survival. Si Kongchen was not a good guy for sure, but they still needed to attend to the meeting.
“So soon? A big half of Sky Fire Base people survived earlier, right? There were at least two-hundred thousand people…” Zou Shihui looked at Wu Chengyue and said with surprise. All the others were surprised to hear what Wu Chengyue said about Sky Fire Base as well.
Wu Chengyue nodded and said, “Yes. I believe small numbers of survivors from the West will join our base or All Beings Base in a few days. Most of them are heading to Huaxia Base, but Huaxia Base’s entry requirement didn’t drop because of the change of environment.”
For that reason, only a few people could afford to enter Huaxia Base. Most of the commoners had no way to provide Huaxia Base with the nuclei or supplies required for their entrance.
The others soon thought of the same thing. After all, that had happened many times before.
“Si, are we going to Huaxia Base this time? Who’s gonna go?” said Xiao Yunlong.
The journey to Huaxia Base would be dangerous, so whoever would be attending the meeting could not be weak.
“Me, of course,” said Wu Chengyue, “Who’s better than me for the job?”
People found that reasonable. But in the next second, Wu Chengyue turned to ask Xiao Licheng, “The woman from All Beings Base will go too, won’t she?”
On hearing that, the others wore complicated expressions… So, did he ask to go because his future wife would go too?
With his eye corners twitching slightly, Xiao Licheng looked at Wu Chengyue and said, “I heard she’s planning to go. She’ll also bring your son with her.”
“Oh,” said Wu Chengyue blandly and smilingly, “See, she’s going to be there, so we don’t need to worry about any trick that Si Kongchen might play.”
Except for Xiao Yunlong and Kong Qingming, the other few guys who were all single grew super jealous seeing that sweet smile on his face.
“Alright, alright, we get it. Go!” Zou Shihui waved at him and said, “Bring your wife and son back home safely.”
“Currently, no underground creatures are found very close to our base, so we are luckier than the other bases. Those creatures from Lake Tai and those weird fire beasts from Minnan province are quite far away from us. We should still pay attention to the seaside area though. I don’t think the sea is gonna stay peaceful,” Wu Chengyue said while holding another report.
“Thankfully, those blind creatures near All Beings Base had all gone to the West Lake area. Otherwise, we’d have something more to worry about. However, the underground cave could still be a problem. We don’t know what’s in there yet,” Xiao Yunlong read the report and sighed with relief. But soon, he continued with a worried look, “I wonder when will Yuan get better.”
Wu Chengyue nodded and said, “Based on the information provided by All Beings Base, there are some aquatic creatures in the underground lake in the cave. We don’t know if those things will come to the surface. Yuan Tianxing had sealed that place off, but he didn’t check the other side of the lake. Hopefully, those creatures will stay in the lake.”
“Oh, a red creature showed up near All Beings Base lately, right? I heard it’s from the underground too. How come Miss. Lu doesn’t seem to do anything about it?” Xiao Yunlong thought of the red cat, so he looked at Wu Chengyue with curiosity, and then at Xiao Licheng.
Among all in the room, the two of them had spent the longest time in All Beings Base, and learned the most about those underground creatures.
Coincidentally, just as he mentioned the red cat, the red cat visited All Beings Base once again.
