Chapter 453: They Will Suffer Eventually
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When they arrived at Long City, where their families had told them they were heading, there was no one there. None of the thousands of people from the shelter were there, too!
“Could they have gone somewhere else?”
“Wait a minute.” Just as Tang Susu was about to let 008 continue scouting, a convoy approached and stopped before someone was waving at them.
“Are you from the base?”
Tang Susu asked 008 to investigate first. She rolled down the window and was about to say no.
A young woman ran out from one of the cars opposite them happily and ran straight to them. “Open up the container right now and show me what you’ve found!”
“Is there something wrong with her?” Everyone muttered to themselves and lowered the windows in unison. They then said rudely, “We’re not from Dongnan Base. Please move aside!”
These cars were obviously parked in a way to deliberately block their way so that they couldn’t drive forward. How unfortunate!
The woman was stunned for a moment, but then she said confidently, “You’re not now, but you will be soon. Isn’t the reason you brought so many supplies so you can join our base?”
“That’s not the case. What’s so good about going to that lousy base, anyway?” Tang Mingchu had always been sharp-tongued, so he didn’t hold back at all.
Although he was just a little sarcastic, it still made the woman opposite of him blush.
As she blushed, she looked at him in embarrassment and in amazement. “What’s your name?”
Tang Mingchu wasn’t sure if he wanted to respond.
So, he slammed the door shut as if he had seen something dirty.
Tang Mingqi couldn’t help but laugh, “You have attracted so many women, Mingchu.”
“Save that for yourself. Why don’t they look at you?”
“Not everyone is as attractive as you.”
Just as the two of them were about to continue bickering, Tang Susu pulled a long face and clarified her stance. “Please move aside.”
“I’m afraid it will be dangerous for you to travel with so many supplies. Why don’t you let us escort you to Dongnan Base?” The man who greeted them just now said.
Immediately after that, a few young men also got out of the car. Their eyes quickly swept across Tang Susu’s convoy, and their eyes were filled with surprise.
Even if these people didn’t plan to go to Dongnan, they had to think of a way to make them go there. Their base had just been set up recently, and they needed supplies.
With so many resources, it would be enough to last them for several years!
Tang Susu laughed in anger. Their intentions were apparent to her. “Are you deaf? We’re not going to Dongnan Base. If you don’t move, we’ll force you.”
“Oh, how are you going to do it?” The woman sneered. “Since we asked you to join us, there’s no mistake. You’ll be given the best treatment when you do. If you want to use force, don’t say we didn’t warn you!”
“If you want to take the supplies, just say so. Don’t be so hypocritical about it!” Bai Yanhui, who was behind them, couldn’t hold it in anymore. He drove a truck and crashed into their cars.
The group of people retreated in shock. In the next second, the enormous truck flattened their car that was parked in the middle of the road and pushed it out.
“Let’s go,” Tang Susu called out. Just as she was about to start her vehicle, she heard a piece of bad news.
‘They’re all at Dongnan Base.’
Tang Susu was speechless.
Just as she was in a daze, a burning fireball smashed toward her car, heading straight for the driver’s seat!
What a joke. Tang Susu had been quite polite during the interaction, but she had instead become the main target of the attack.
The person who attacked her was the woman from earlier!
“How dare you hit our car? Die!” After throwing one fireball, the opponent was like a peashooter, throwing another string of fireballs in quick succession.
Everyone was furious. Tang Susu didn’t even have the chance to attack when Cheng Cheng, who was behind them, released an even more powerful jet of flames!
The third rank Pyrokinesis immediately devoured the fireballs!
Not only was the opponent’s barrage of fireballs blocked, but it also became fuel for Cheng Cheng’s attack. She threw an even bigger fireball at the opponent.
This time, not only were the other party stunned, but their own people were also so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.
“Rank 3! Is this the first Rank 3 we’ve seen?” Cheng Cheng, who usually kept a low profile on the team, was actually a hidden Rank 3 elite!
Just as the woman was escaping, the man who had spoken earlier hurriedly used his superpower.
A huge water dragon tried to extinguish the fireball!
Mr. Tang’s eyes lit up, and he brushed his hands together.
In the end, the fireball wasn’t extinguished. It directly burned one of their opponents. That person wailed and rolled on the ground, scaring the woman who thought she was invincible after becoming a Rank 2 elite.
The Hydrokinetic’s face was tense as he poured water on the burning person using all his power.
The person was already on the verge of death when the fire was completely extinguished.
“Do you even care about the sanctity of human lives?!” He retorted.
Tang Susu leaned against the window and smiled calmly. “But what you’re planning to do will affect countless lives! Aren’t you the ones that don’t care about human lives!?”
“What do you mean?” The woman was furious. Although she was extremely fearful of Cheng Cheng, she was still full of hostility towards Tang Susu.
“Give us an explanation!”
“Excuse me,” The scion couldn’t stand it anymore. “Were you blind? I was the one who hit the car, right? Why are you targeting her instead? Are you jealous that she’s younger than you? Maybe because she’s prettier than you? Or maybe because she’s smarter than you?”
When Bai Yanhui decided to really be serious and put his tongue to good use, he could mock others even more viciously than Tang Mingchu ever could.
The woman was so angry that she let out angry tears and asked, “Haofan, am I really uglier than her?”
Was that ever the main point?
Xu Haofan pursed his lips.” Lanxin, let’s forget about them. They have all these things with them and still they parade them all over. They’ll suffer for it, eventually!”
“Then lead the way.”
Everyone wasn’t sure what she was saying.
Xu Haofan was also a little surprised. He thought these people were determined not to go to the base, and with a Rank 3 Pyrokinetic among them, they couldn’t stop them even if they try.
Unexpectedly…
Li Lanxin immediately revealed a condescending look. “It’s too late to say that now. Unless you beg us!”
“Lanxin, stop it!” Xu Haofan regretted bringing her out this time. He didn’t know how much trouble she had already caused.
On the other hand, Xu Haofan changed his previous angry attitude and immediately took them to Dongnan Base.
The others didn’t know why Tang Susu changed her mind, but they guessed it had something to do with the people from the shelter.
Xu Haofan thought they would show some courtesy when they arrived at the base.
However, the young lady, who was obviously the leader of the team, simply said with a smile. “If it weren’t for the fact that you wanted to escort us here so much, we wouldn’t have come to Dongnan Base.”
Their tone and attitude made it seem as if they had come just for a social visit.
Xu Haofan almost choked on himself. The others did not have such good self-restraint. He wanted to retort her but was stopped by Xu Haofan.
He felt these people must be worth more than just the resources that they had with them. He believed that there must be something he could use them for.
Just as they entered the gate for registration and inspection, Li Lanxin excitedly followed the security personnel in charge of the base to check their supplies..
