CHAPTER 368: A SERIOUS WARNING ( 1 )

The guards were taken aback by the sudden situation. Fearing that it would escalate, one of the guards quickly went to inform the higher-ups while the rest of the guards raised their guns and aimed at the survivors.

"Shut up, or we will shoot you!"

When the survivors saw the guards aiming their guns at them, their resolve to leave this base strengthened. In the face of stronger force, they could only lower their heads. After being threatened, everyone finally calmed down.

Not long after, the Commander’s aide arrived with a group of soldiers. He glanced at everyone and said, "It seems that all of you are not hungry since you can make trouble. In that case, you can skip this meal."

When he finished his words, he turned to the soldiers and said, "Take away the porridge and divide it among the guards. If anyone dares to make trouble again, just send them to the dark room immediately."

The soldiers were taken aback by his decision, but no one dared to question it. So, they nodded and replied in unison, "Understood."

With the food being taken away, the survivors who depended on it to survive glared at those who made a ruckus just now, and one of them said, "It’s great now. Thanks to all of you, we have to starve again!"

Since they couldn’t get the meal anymore, the survivors returned to their rooms one after another.

At the same time, the Phantom team members had already returned to Chen Qianxiao’s room.

At this moment, they were having dinner together. In order to avoid prying eyes and inviting trouble, they locked the door before they cooked dinner.

Fortunately, they collected several portable gas stoves and lots of gas cylinders. Using the portable gas stove, they cooked several pots of instant noodles with sausages and dumplings.

Looking at the food, Chen Qianxiao couldn’t help but salivate.

Even if he held a high position in the base, the rations he received every day were no different from those received by the survivors. Only the Commander and the higher-ups in the base were able to eat thicker porridge with side dishes.

Noticing his brother’s reaction, Chen Qianfeng felt a pang of heartache. When the food was ready, he scooped a big bowl for his brother and himself.

As he sat beside his brother, he handed the bowl to him and said, "Brother, if it’s not enough, just get more. We made a lot."

Chen Qianxiao accepted the bowl while asking, "Second Brother, your team consumes so many supplies for one meal. Will your supplies be enough?"

When the team members heard his words, Feng Yun smiled and replied, "Brother Qianxiao, don’t worry. Our team has enough supplies to support a base for several years. You can eat with ease."

The moment he heard this, Chen Qianxiao only smiled and said nothing. No matter how big the size of their spaces was, it wouldn’t be bigger than 100 square meters. After all, the space-type ability users the Capital Base had were only at most 30 square meters of space.

Not knowing what he was thinking, they finished their dinner with satisfaction. When they were done, Chen Qianfeng created two water balls while Xiao Qi added some soap into one of the water balls.

Afterward, the members put the dishes into the water ball with soap before Chen Qianfeng started controlling it. The water spun slowly before it became faster.

Standing beside them, Chen Qianxiao looked at the scene with disbelief. He knew that some water-type ability users could control water, while others could create water. This was the first time he realized that there was someone who could create and control water at the same time.

After Chen ’Dishwasher’ Qianfeng finished his job, it was Qin Luzi’s turn to dry the utensils and dishes. When he was done, Xiao Qi finally stored everything into his space.

Everything was done in less than fifteen minutes. The moment Chen Qianxiao regained his composure, the Phantom team members had already sat on the carpet and started sharing the result of their secret task.

While the task of spreading news was going well, the task of rescuing the hostages was not as smooth as it was.

Taking out a piece of paper, Qin Luzi drew a simple map and said, "I checked the entire base, and there was only this place that couldn’t be accessed. It was located on the lowest level of the base, and we needed to use a special elevator to go there."

After he said this, Zhang Yuan asked, "Old Qin, how many people are in that place?"

"It’s around 3,000 to 4,000 people," Qin Luzi replied.

The moment he said this, everyone turned solemn. Not to mention how suffocating the lower ground area was without proper ventilation, just the number of people being held hostage showed that the base was treating the survivors as their slaves instead of people they should protect.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Yuan said, "Tomorrow, Old Qin will go with me, and we will try to see if I can dig a tunnel to that area from the outside."

Thinking about the materials used to construct the base, Chen Qianfeng said, "It’s impossible to break through the wall. You can try from the ground."

Just after he said this, Wen Kai said, "Vice Captain, we will go with you tomorrow. With me and my brother assisting you, we might be able to create a tunnel instead. This way, we don’t have to worry about alarming the Commander during the relocation."

Zhang Yuan thought for a while and said, "In that case, Old Qin has to find a secluded area where we can build a tunnel for the survivors to leave the base."

Qin Luzi thought for a while before he drew another map and said, "This area is located 600 meters between the dark room area and the lavatory area. I already checked the patrol schedule today and noticed that the guards rarely come to this area. We can dig a tunnel from here."
