1288 Move the Entire Group

Lin Wenwen was taking the hunter's group to her base. Xiao Yunlong wasn't happy to let them go, but he had no other choice. He also didn't want to make himself look stingy or narrow-minded. However, how could the others not see the look on his face? Everyone understood how he felt, but they all pretended not to see the frustration on his face.

"We want to thank Sea City Base for helping us during the past years. In the future, if you ever need our help, please come to find us in All Beings Base," Dong Lijia expressed his gratitude to Xiao Yunlong with a smile.

Hearing his words, Xiao Yunlong stopped short and waved his hands as he said, "Ah, you don't need to thank us. In fact, you've been very helpful for us too. We were simply helping each other. We did no more than providing you guys with temporary accommodation. In fact, we didn't give you any help that you really needed. I don't think we deserve your gratitude."

With a smile, Dong Lijia said, "That's not true. You guys provided us with a place to settle down. That was already a huge favor. The small things that we did for Sea City Base were nothing."

Lin Wenwen couldn't bear hearing the two trying to be as humble as possible, so she hurriedly interrupted them, "Alright, since Chief Xiao has no objections, we'll be leaving this afternoon. Will that be okay, Chief Xiao?"

Xiao Yunlong looked at her as he shook his head and said, "Sure, no problem! I guess you're ready, right?"

He first responded to Lin Wenwen, then turned to Dong Lijia and his people as he asked a question.

Dong Lijia nodded and said, "Yes, we are ready. We can leave once you approve our application."

"You guys acted quickly," said Xiao Yunlong with a bitter smile, "Well, I guess I can only wish you bon voyage in that case."

It suddenly crossed Lin Wenwen's mind that something seemed to have happened in All Beings Base last night. She wondered if the problem were solved. So, she asked Xiao Yunlong, "Oh, Chief Xiao, I heard that something happened in our base last night. Huaxia Base seems to have sent some other people there to do something. How did that end?"

Xiao Yunlong looked at her with surprise and said, "Haven't you received the message yet? Your people destroyed them and harvested a bunch of lives… eh, energy nuclei, I mean. None of them got away!"

Lin Wenwen first paused with surprise, then responded to him with a smile, "I hadn't heard about it yet. It's a good thing that they've all died though. Things would be troublesome if some of them got away."

She knew that those people wouldn't end well once they set foot in the territory of All Beings Base. However, she was worried that accidents might happen. If any of them survived, All Beings Base could be in trouble.

She felt relieved after hearing his answer.

"Some of them were ambushing outside Sea City Base at first," Xiao Yunlong continued with, "They were preparing to take some kind of secret action. But, for some reason, they suddenly all moved to All Beings Base. I had my people ready to take care of them. However, they decided not to give their lives to us, but to you guys instead."

Lin Wenwen tittered scornfully and said, "They're so over-confident! The same thing has happened so many times, yet they just won't learn a lesson! They keep targeting us instead of those underground creatures. I wonder if their brains are damaged!"

"Si Kongchen is clearly aiming to cause trouble at this critical moment," said Xiao Yunlong.

Lin Wenwen nodded as she looked at the others, who had been quiet the whole time, and said, "We've said what should be said, so I think we should get going."

She needed to go back to her base to keep her eyes on someone. She could not let what she saw in her mind come true.

Following her words, the others quickly stood up. Xiao Yunlong turned and picked up a file from his desk, and then handed it to Dong Lijia. That was the application of leaving the base, handed in by someone under Dong Lijia's command not long ago.

Dong Lijia took over the file, but didn't open it. He knew that Xiao Yunlong had signed and stamped the file. Holding the file, he nodded at the latter and said, "See you then. Chief Xiao! Don't trouble to walk us out."

Xiao Yunlong walked them to the door, and then nodded, "Alright! All Being Base isn't far away from us. We'll surely see each other again. See you!"

After leaving the office, Dong Xinxin asked Lin Wenwen, "You seemed to be in an urgency to go back to the base. Is it about what you saw in your mind last time?"

"Yeah, I'm a little worried," Lin Wenwen nodded, then glanced at the tall and strong Deng Chenfei, who was behind her.

What she saw in her head last time had been making her a little anxious. The person she saw was her sister-in-law. She wanted to go back to the base as soon, so she could keep an eye on Cheng Wangxue, in case anything bad happened to the latter.

She remembered what she saw in her mind. She saw Lin Feng anxiously asked Deng Chenfei if 'they' were still alive. He said 'they' instead of 'she', meaning that Cheng Wangxue wasn't the only one in danger. Who else was in danger?

Was it Xiaolu?

Xiaolu was always staying in the base safely. Why would anything happen to her?

So many questions now existed in Lin Wenwen's head, making her feel uneasy. Currently, all she could do was keep an eye on her sister-in-law and Xiaolu, and to take all the precautions she could think of.

Over ten-thousand people leaving Sea City Base had, of course, become big news, not to mention the fact that they had to ship their belongings out of the base in a series of large trucks. Apart from a small number of people who had heard about it in advance, the whole base was shocked by the news.

They remembered All Beings Base recruiting in Sea City Base. People were living a stable life in Sea City Base, so very few were willing to go to the new base, which didn't look promising at all. But now, such a huge group of people suddenly decided to leave Sea City Base for that new base, and some of those people were rather capable.

Those people's departure instantly made many others start to take All Beings Base seriously. After all, how could it possibly attract so many people if it were just an ordinary small base?

All Being Base was founded a year ago. During the past year, the base had always been mysterious. However, it seemed to be doing better and better.

"Is that All Beings Base really so good? How come all these hunter groups decided to join that base?" Some people didn't understand why those hunters chose to leave Sea City Base for that small base. But, after those people joined it, that small base would probably grow twice as strong as before.
