CHAPTER 375: TRAP ( 2 )

After a moment of pause, Jiao Lizhi added, "But you have to pay a registration fee if you want to join the Lin’an City Base. If you don’t have enough crystal cores or supplies to pay for the fee, you can borrow it from the base and return it in installments."

"But if you work as a mercenary and go out to find supplies, you have to hand over part of the supplies you find outside when you return to the base," she added.

The soldier nodded when he heard her words. Handing part of the supplies to the base was understandable. After all, the base needed lots of supplies and crystal cores to support the commoners and the guards.

Since the supplies were given back to the people and not benefiting only a few, the soldier was willing to follow the rules. No matter from which side he saw it, the situation in the Lin’an City Base seemed better than this place.

When he got all the information he needed, he said, "Comrade, thank you for sharing this information with me. Captain Jin, when you go back, please allow me and my comrades to follow you."

Since they were in need of soldiers and ability users to prepare for the second rain, Jin Xuyan nodded and said, "The Lin’an City Base is built to protect everyone. So, we will accept everyone, no matter if they are ability users or commoners. Young and old, strong and weak, everyone is welcome."

After he received this promise, the soldier was eager to share the news with his comrades and said, "I will keep it in mind. Thank you, Captain Jin!"

Jin Xuyan and Jiao Lizhi nodded at him and entered the base.

In less than two hours, the news about the benefits given by the Lin’an City Base spread among the soldiers. Since this news came directly from Jiao Lizhi and Jin Xuyan, the soldiers believed it.

Those with families and who strove for a better life all made up their minds to go to the Lin’an City Base with the Phantom Team.

As for the survivors, everyone finally received the news of the relocation and received supplies from the Phantom Team. With a huge difference in treatment between the Capital Base and the Lin’an City Base, no one was willing to stay here anymore.

The moment they received the news that the Captain of the Phantom Team had returned from the outside without even a scratch, they became more convinced that following him was the best decision. After all, only by following the strong could they survive in their current situation.

As they walked toward Chen Qianxiao’s room, Jiao Lizhi noticed that the survivors were no longer as depressed as when they had first arrived. It had only been two days, but they looked more energetic, and their eyes were brighter.

At the same time, Wen Hao received a report about their return from a soldier. After hearing the report, he asked, "Did they bring supplies back?"

The soldier shook his head and replied, "Captain Jin and his fiancée didn’t bring anything back."

Wen Hao went silent for a moment before he said, "Keep an eye on them and report every move they make."

The soldier gave him a salute and said, "Understood."

When he was alone, Wen Hao tapped his fingers on the desk and said, "Go follow them and see what they are planning."

When he said this, a man’s voice was heard in the office. "Okay."

Not long after, the door was opened and closed without anyone in sight.

Half an hour later, inside one of the rooms where the survivors lived, Qin Luzi suddenly said, "Mother, someone is coming. We have to go now."

Mother Qin was startled by her son’s words and asked, "Luzi, did the Commander send people to keep an eye on you and your team?"

Qin Luzi nodded and said, "Mother, in the next few days, I might not be able to come visit you. You have to take care of yourself."

"Don’t worry about me. Just be careful when doing things," Mother Qin reminded him.

"I understand."

After giving his mother some supplies, Qin Luzi quickly pulled Shen Jinzhe away and left the room. Not long after they left, the invisible man walked into the room and looked around. When he saw nothing suspicious, he left and went to check another room.

Noticing this, Qin Luzi walked to a secluded area and used his walkie-talkie to inform his team members.

"Everyone, Wen Hao sent someone with invisibility to tail us. Return to Brother Chen’s room as soon as possible."

The moment the members received this information, they quickly left the survivors’ living area and returned to Chen Qianxiao’s room.

When they arrived, they saw that their Captain and Sister-in-law were already waiting for them. Seeing them coming, Jin Xuyan said, "How is the situation in the base?"

After closing the door, they sat in a circle and reported all their findings from the past two days.

When they finished with their reports, Jin Xuyan said, "For now, your main focus is to relocate the survivors to the Lin’an City Base. As for the human experiment, Ah Zhi and I will investigate it."

Hearing this, the members nodded and replied in unison, "Understood."

Jin Xuyan glanced at Mo Junjie and saw him in a daze, as if he were drowsy. If not for his clenched fists hidden under his sleeve, no one would have noticed his excitement at the mention of the human experiment.

While the team was discussing the relocation plan, Mo Junjie’s mind drifted back to the time he spent in the laboratory before managing to escape that place.

Although not all the time he spent there was bad, most of the time, he had been forced to do things that went against his own will. Now that he had finally gained his freedom, he would make them pay for what they did to him.

Clenching his fists tightly, he tried his best to control his excitement at the thought of the day when he could torture those people and make them beg for mercy as he once had.
