934 Their Plan Is Ruined

"What? You want to stop all trade with us? Why? I'm afraid your people can't live a good life without our products," Wei Haichao was a little surprised at first, then wore a sullen look. Subsequently, his last sentence was said with a threatening tone.

He wasn't expecting Sea City Base people to stiffen their spine this time. Before, Huaxia Base people threatened them with their most advanced weapons every time they tried to stop the trade. If Sea City Base refused to complete the deals, Huaxia Base would attack mercilessly.

A few years ago, Sea City Base was weak and over-populated. The lightning-powered Wu Chengyue had emerged from the base, but his superpower was upgrading slowly. The base still relied on weapons for the most part.

During the past two years, Sea City Base people had great dissatisfaction with the unequal trade between Sea City Base and Huaxia Base. After every negotiation, Huaxia Base slowly made a step backward. After all, Sea City Base was growing stronger and stronger.

Xiao Yunlong gave a scornful cold smile and said, "We can live a good life even without making trades with you. You really don't need to worry about us."

'We're gonna teach you Huaxia people a lesson this time, or you might think that we're afraid of you. How dare you play that dirty trick in our place? Are we all dead? You want the technology, and you plan to kidnap our scientists because you can't get it? That'd only happen in your dreams!' he thought.

Wei Haichao and Hou Guozhong both pulled a long face. The former stared at Xiao Yunlong and said, "What do you mean? We've been working together all this time. Now you're going to stop trading with us. Don't you need to give us a reason?"

Xiao Yunlong gave Zou Shihui a glance, then turned back and responded, "Reason? Oh, simple. Because we can now produce technologically advanced products as well. We won't be needing your help anymore. After all, there would be a high price to pay if we want to use your products. It's not cost-efficient, is it?"

Wei Haichao narrowed his eyes and said with disbelief, "You made your own? How long can your products last? Are they as good as ours?"

After saying that, he snorted with laughter. He doubted the abilities of the technicians in Sea City Base. Huaxia Base had the best technicians in the country. Sea City Base might be able to find some technicians of their own, but how could they possibly make the products as good as Huaxia Base's?

Sensing the tense atmosphere between Sea City Base and Huaxia Base, Sky Fire Base and Mongols Base people stayed calmed while watching the show.

They were surprised that Sea City Base had finally demanded to stop trading with Huaxia Base. After all, no base in the country dared to displease Huaxia Base openly. It was the strongest base, after all, strong and richly populated.

As Sea City Base had picked the side against Huaxia Base openly, it would certainly become a target of the latter. Huaxia Base would find all sorts of excuses to bring Sea City Base down.

In fact, Huaxia Base already had that intention recently; it was just not obvious yet. It was because Sea City Base had a level-eight lightning-power possessor, who was even stronger than the fire-powered Si Kongchen.

Besides, they had heard that quite a lot of technicians who hadn't been living an ideal life in Huaxia Base were having their eyes on Sea City Base.

"Our products may not be as good as yours, but they're good enough for us. We don't have much to ask for. Before, we couldn't make those products by ourselves, so we worked with you. Now, since we have grown that capability, we surely don't need to purchase things from you again," Xiao Yunlong said with a faint smile.

Seeing the proud smile on Xiao Yunlong's face, Wei Haichao and Hou Guozhong sneered in their heads. When their Plan B worked, Huaxia Base would never need to worry about food again, because they would have the people who developed the soil remedy working for them. By that time, Sea City Base would have no power to threaten them, and they would be able to suppress Sea City Base again.

But, they needed to wait now until Sea City Base people were too busy dealing with the massive zombie attack to pay attention to them.

At that moment, Wu Chengyue was standing on top of a seven-story building that was located outside the base, looking at the smoking combat vehicle that was parked about two-hundred meters away. The vehicle was burned black, and fire came out from the hole on top of it. It seemed like it had been struck by a lightning from the sky.

It was indeed struck by a bolt of lightning from the sky. Once the vehicle stopped moving, the zombie crowd behind it immediately rushed up. Those zombies reached their hands into the vehicle through the cracks to grasp those injured or dead people.

Wu Chengyue glanced at the vehicle, then quickly turned and moved toward the next one. There was one last combat vehicle to go.

"Squad One! Squad Two! Respond! Respond!" At that point, the level-six man was yelling at the interphone in the last combat vehicle, waiting for the response from the rest of his people.

Just now, he suddenly found that his connection with a few of the other squads had been cut off. After hearing a series of thunder, he had a bad feeling. He talked to the interphone, but those squads didn't respond.

The thunder was heard again and again, and people's voices disappeared from the interphone one after another. At last, it fell completely into silence.

Wu Chengyue didn't even need to approach those vehicles. He wielded his arms from a long distance away and brought the lightning down upon his targets from the sky.

Lin Qiao was standing about ten meters away from him, watching him do that. She felt a little bored as she watched Wu Chengyue easily destroy the dozen combat vehicles which had been trying to guide a huge crowd of zombies to his base. Then, she watched those wasted vehicles sink into the zombie crowd or explode. However, not even the explosion could stop those exciting zombies.

After those people were finished, Lin Qiao asked Viney to send Wu Yueling out.

Wu Yueling was a little stunned to see the strange surrounding environment, but calmed down when she saw Wu Chengyue. They were on top of a building. Wu Chengyue walked to the little girl, then held her hand and headed downstairs.

Soon, they both left the building and sat inside the car that was parked before the building long ago. Then, the car was driven back toward Sea City Base.

At that time, Wei Haichao and the others had no idea that their Plan B was already ruined. They glanced at their watches and found that it was about the time. Seeing that Xiao Yunlong and his people still looked calm, they couldn't help but again sneer in their heads.

'Let's see if you can stay so calm later!' they thought.

Xiao Yunlong looked at the time and said, "Since we cannot achieve an agreement, why don't we have a lunch together before you guys head home?"

Li Zhengye from Sky Fire Base and Bao Chengzhi from Mongols Base both wore a slightly confused look. They weren't expecting Sea City Base people to ask them to leave so soon. They glanced at Wei Haichao and Hou Guozhong. Seeing that those two weren't wearing any expressions, they stayed put as well.

"Alright, we don't intend to constrain you to do things that you don't want to. But, I do hope that you won't regret your decision," Hou Guozhong said coldly, then turned and glanced at Wei Haichao. After that, they both stood up and left. While leaving, he gave one of his subordinates a meaningful glance, seemingly to signal him to do something.
