The members of Hope Base were shocked by how boldly he lied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the ex–Luna Moon members weren’t scared at all. One of them even laughed. “Oh? Is that so? Then maybe you’d like to explain something for us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leader Zhang narrowed his eyes. “Explain what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why is Zhao still alive?” the man said, loud enough for everyone to hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leader Zhang froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So did his nephew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They exchanged a quick glance, panic starting to creep into their expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, from the crowd behind the cage, someone stepped forward. A young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked thin and tired, but his features were clear. A familiar scar on his chin. High cheekbones. The same nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real Zhao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasps rang out across the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s him! That’s really Zhao!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He looks just like the photo!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The zombie… that was a fake?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leader Zhang stood frozen, staring at the real Zhao like he was seeing a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao smiled with an innocent expression and said, “Leader Zhang? You’re here? I’m so glad. I thought something happened to you since you didn’t come to our rescue when we needed you. Thank goodness you’re alive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words were innocent. Kind, even. But to everyone else, it was like a knife through Leader Zhang’s lies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hope Base members stared at the scene, putting the pieces together. The zombie had been fake. Or a setup. Zhao was alive. Leader Zhang had lied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leader Zhang saw his plan falling apart. His lie was now a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead of panicking, he quickly put on a new face. He looked at Zhao with wide, emotional eyes and said, “Zhao… I…I can’t believe you’re alive. I thought you were gone forever. I was so scared. Thank goodness. Thank goodness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice shook a little, like he was truly touched. He even wiped at his eyes, pretending to be overwhelmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the ex–Luna Moon members weren’t buying it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They crossed their arms, glaring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just now you said you didn’t know us,” one of them said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now you’re thankful we’re alive?” another added. “A few seconds ago, you were ready to throw us away like garbage. And now you’re acting like our long-lost friend?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you think your lies are a little too obvious?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leader Zhang tried to say something, but the words got stuck in his throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, he sighed and said in a weak voice, “I… I’ve been sick. My mind hasn’t been right lately. Too many hard times… I think I’ve developed some kind of memory problem. That must be why I forgot who you were.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd went quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then someone in the back laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It spread, little by little, until chuckles and snorts filled the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The laughter in the crowd grew louder. Everyone began mocking Leader Zhang without holding back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow, so now you’re sick?” someone laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guess being caught lying makes your memory disappear, huh?” another said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This guy will say anything when he’s losing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leader Zhang clenched his teeth hard. His face was stiff, but he forced himself to keep calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m telling the truth,” he said slowly, trying to keep his voice steady. “I really haven’t been feeling well. My mind has…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, Su Jiyai’s voice suddenly echoed from the speaker above the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Leader Zhang,” she said coolly, “since you dared to bring fake claims to my doorstep, you can’t leave so easily. I will personally present you to the Alliance. Let this be a warning to all other base leaders who are secretly plotting against me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was calm, but it held a sharp power that made the whole base freeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then… cheers erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hope Base members shouted and clapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss Su is amazing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s how you deal with liars!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teach them a lesson!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leader Zhang’s face turned pale. The people with him from Luna Moon Base turned even paler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without saying a word, they turned to run away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they didn’t get far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a few steps in, green vines shot out from the ground and wrapped around their legs, arms, and waists. The plant-user from Hope Base had moved quickly, using his powers to grab every one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thud, the fake guests fell to the ground, unable to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They struggled hard, but it was no use. The vines only tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truth was, Hope Base’s members were not ordinary anymore. Because of Boss Su, they had received lots of useful items. She sold powerful supplies at low prices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spring water that boosted superpowers. Healing potions. Strength pills. And most importantly, crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lots and lots of crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With time, the members had grown stronger…. much stronger than the average survivors from other bases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, with just five well-trained Hope Base members, they quickly captured over twenty Luna Moon Base people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They dragged them across the ground, pulling them toward the gate and into the base. None of them could fight back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leader Zhang screamed, “You can’t do this! The Alliance will punish Boss Su for treating guests like this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His nephew also yelled, “You’re crossing a line! This will bring trouble to your base!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, some Hope Base members paused. They didn’t want their boss to get in trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, Su Jiyai’s voice came again from the speaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry about me,” she said calmly. “Nothing will happen. You may do as you please.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice gave them confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next second, the Hope Base members were filled with energy, like they had just been injected with chicken blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eyes burned with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How dare you try to lie about our boss?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Painting her in a bad light? Not on our watch!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Boss Su didn’t save us, we’d be dead right now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, fists started flying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Punches, kicks, slaps… they didn’t hold back. One by one, the members beat the Luna Moon group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t afraid anymore. These people had crossed the line. They had lied, made fake claims, and even tried to turn people against Boss Su.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unforgivable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hope Base wasn’t like other places. Its members were loyal. Fiercely loyal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone who dared to speak badly about Boss Su would be dealt with immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, they would teach these liars a lesson they wouldn’t forget.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please! Stop!” Leader Zhang cried out, his face red and swollen. “It was all me! I was the one who planned it! Let the others go!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before anyone could react, his nephew suddenly spoke up, pushing through the vines a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! It wasn’t him! It was me! I planned it all! My uncle had nothing to do with it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Hope Base members paused, fists still mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leader Zhang turned his head sharply and shouted, “You fool! Why are you taking the blame for me? Stay out of this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His nephew’s face twisted. “No! You’re old now. If anyone should take the punishment, it’s me. You raised me. Let me take responsibility!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this strange interaction, the Hope Base members all looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were speechless for a second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the monitoring room, Su Jiyai narrowed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leader Zhang didn’t look like someone who would give up benefits for anyone. But now, he was trying to protect someone. Not everyone… just his nephew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the nephew seemed to truly care for Leader Zhang too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“System,” Su Jiyai said calmly, “do a DNA check on those two.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system paused, surprised. “Boss, are you saying… they might not be uncle and nephew?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right. Check it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Understood. I will need a hair strand from each.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai teleported out wearing a veil and turned on the invisibility function. She calmly walked behind Leader Zhang and his nephew and plucked a hair strand from their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ouch!” Both of them simultaneously shouted in pain, clenching their head and scrunching their nose in pain. Seeing this, the Hope base members were furious and shouted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? For whom are you pretending? We haven’t even started to beat you again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Indeed! Such a pair of green teas. Are they now going to lie on the ground and pretend that they are beaten to their death?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who knows? They might even demand compensation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leader Zhang: “…” No! I seriously felt someone plucking my hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His nephew: “…” Brothers, you are judging too hastily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they could only shut their mouth knowing that arguing further would be of no use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai, on the other hand, chuckled seeing their constipated expression and waited for the system to reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the reply came out, and Su Jiyai was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[DNA test complete. They are not uncle and nephew.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai leaned closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[They are father and son.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes glinted with understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder,” she whispered. “Now it all makes sense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, an idea appeared in her mind, and she was reminded of the conversation she had with Luna Moon Base before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If executed well, she would be welcoming more people to her base!\u003C\u002Fp>",1513,"2026-06-06T06:36:51.194Z",1,"novelbin.me","1638077f8d59d3e2c9b9a79cbd1291fd716700a21273fcc1f3d360dcc4adb5c8","apocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-chapter-564","apocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-chapter-562",661,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-cover.jpg"]
