Blowing on the Flames
Back in the car.
Yang Lixie just sat down.
Then Luo Yan said, "Have your men prepare."
Yang Lixie glanced at Luo Yan with a somewhat blank expression.
Luo Yan stated, "'Black Wave' Company definitely has accomplices within the base."
"I don't want to get into trouble in Forbidden Land areas."
"Then we have no choice but to..."
Luo Yan made a decapitation gesture.
Yang Lixie's heart skipped a beat.
This was completely different from what he had envisioned before setting off.
He never expected to encounter the 'Black Wave' company here.
Even more unexpectedly...
It's gotten this big.
But soon...
He adjusted his mindset.
He nodded vigorously.
but.
Yang Lixie, "I'm afraid we can't take action inside the base."
"You can do whatever you want outside the base."
"But killing someone inside the base would invite intervention from the base itself."
"And this time."
"We are not going out as Academy students."
"Something really is going to happen."
"They won't give way to us."
Luo Yan frowned.
I realized the importance of the background.
In Guangling City.
At Falcon Base.
He had the protection of Di Zheng and the Academy.
It is relatively convenient to move around.
Now that background information is lost.
We reached the surface.
You can only rely on yourself.
Now.
Clearly, my abilities are still somewhat lacking.
At the very least, we cannot afford to be enemies with the entire base.
Luo Yan looked at his hands.
He secretly made up his mind.
Before returning to the Academy.
Our strength must reach a new level.
The convoy then set off.
Yang Lixie added, "Although we have no way to deal with 'Black Wave's' people inside the base..."
"However, I think many people must hate 'Black Wave' to the core."
"The Dragon Spring Base should not try to stay out of this matter."
"Once we get to the base, I'll move around, stir up public opinion, and put pressure on the base to drive 'Black Wave' out."
"Once the 'Black Wave' members leave the base, everything will be easy."
Luo Yan glanced at Yang Lixie.
I think his method is good.
He nodded.
"Let's do it this way."
Not long after.
The convoy arrived at the ' Dragon Spring Base '.
This is probably because ' Misty Canyon ' has a large number of Medicinal Materials herbs.
Therefore, the ' Dragon Spring Base ' is much more prosperous than the ' Falcon Base '.
Although there are also a large number of shacks and iron houses here.
but.
There are also quite a few tall buildings.
also.
The area where the ' Dragon Spring Base ' is located was originally a small town.
Most of the urban area has been abandoned or turned into ruins.
However, the base is located in the urban area.
Many facilities have been preserved.
therefore.
You can see quite a few buildings.
The streets and roads are also being maintained.
Vehicles of Xiao Xiao come and go without any obstruction.
After showing the pass.
The convoy entered the base.
Cross Star appeared in Luo Yan's eyes as he activated the ' Eye of True Suchness ' and casually looked out the window.
At first glance.
Colorful information threads floated on the street.
Luo Yan randomly read some of the information threads.
Zeng Shuai, 27 years old, purchasing agent at Bailin Pharmaceutical Company.
Liu Si, 29 years old, is a testing technician at Blue Sky Biotechnology Company.
Chen Zun, 38 years old, member of the Wind Thunder Guard Squad.
'Yu Ge, 26 years old, specially hired Mech Master at Green Vine Potion Synthesis Company.'
Just as Yang Lixie said.
There are many Medicinal Materials companies in the ' Dragon Spring Base '.
It seems so.
Not only pharmaceutical companies from Guangling, Qingyang, and Changping cities, but also many others have visited this area.
It's likely that other Medicinal Materials companies from other Undercity are also very interested in this place.
From this perspective...
There must be something backing 'Heitao' company.
Otherwise.
How dare they charge 'tolls' in a place like this?
After arriving at the designated docking point at the base.
Luo Yan then seized the time to cultivate.
Yang Lixie then went out for a walk with his men.
And so it came to evening.
It was dusk.
Dragon Spring Base Security Management Office.
The person in charge of the management office was middle-aged.
He was yawning listlessly.
He has been the head of the management office at the base for three years.
The security situation at the base is relatively good.
Although there are minor daily conflicts.
but.
Nothing major actually happened.
It was almost lunchtime.
Middle-aged people are already making plans.
What do you do to pass the time tonight?
"Hmm, I heard that Hairong Club has some pretty good young ladies here."
"Let's go check it out tonight."
Just then...
He heard a great commotion outside.
Then there was a knock on the office door.
The middle-aged man called out, "Come in."
Just then, a security guard rushed in, sweating profusely. "Boss, something bad has happened!"
"You'd better come out and take a look."
The middle-aged man frowned and said, "What's the matter? Why are you in such a panic?"
The security guard pointed outside and said, "Liansheng, Dongjiao, Taiping, Lizhu, Vanguard, etc."
"Employees from more than twenty Medicinal Materials companies have jointly filed an appeal."
"They demand that we expel 'Black Wave' Company from the base."
"The reason given is that 'Black Wave' Company set up checkpoints and charged fees outside the base, which greatly damaged their interests."
The middle-aged man scratched his head. "Damn it, those bastards at 'Black Wave' Company aren't new to doing this kind of thing."
"Why didn't they cause trouble before? Why did they choose to cause trouble now?"
"What good would it do to complain about them?"
"'Black Wave' Company has a very close relationship with our Supervisor Xiao. Even if you gave me ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare to take on this matter."
The middle-aged man pointed at the security guard. "Go find Supervisor Xiao right now and tell him what happened here. I'll go out and hold things off for a bit."
The security guard nodded quickly.
The middle-aged man then instructed, "Remember to use the back door, don't let anyone block it."
A moment later.
He arrived at the hall.
The entire hall was packed with people.
There were only a dozen or so security guards.
They were squeezed into a corner.
I saw a middle-aged man come out.
Someone shouted, "The head of the public security department is out!"
We demand justice.
"'Heitao' Company has been collecting 'tolls' outside the base for years, I don't believe the base doesn't know."
"We demand the expulsion of 'Black Wave' company."
"The base will give us a response immediately."
Public sentiment was high.
The middle-aged man wiped away his sweat, forced a smile, and raised his hand, saying, "Everyone, everyone."
"I am Lin Yang, and I am in charge here."
"Please rest assured."
"I will definitely handle everyone's complaints fairly and justly."
"Now please line up, one at a time."
"I will have someone take statements from everyone."
"So that it can be submitted to the base and handled by the Enforcement Department."
Someone in the crowd immediately shouted, "Don't listen to him!"
"'Black Wave' Company was able to collect 'tolls' outside the base, and not just for a day or two."
"They're definitely colluding with the base."
Someone else shouted, "That's right, the security department is just a figurehead at the base."
"We have absolutely no say in this."
"Bring the person in charge of the base out."
"Bring out the person who has the authority to speak!"
Someone else shouted.
I support it.
"Bring the person in charge out."
"How much money has 'Black Wave' Company robbed of us over the past few years?"
"That's all our hard-earned money!"
"We risked our lives to enter the Forbidden Land."
"After it's all over, 'Black Wave' Company will get half of the profits."
"There's no such logic in this world."
In the crowd.
You say one thing, I say another.
Immediately, people became excited again.
In an instant.
The noise was deafening.
