Chapter 475
As the scheming and capable Wu Yu, he had previously often used the pretext of suppressing Long An to heavily promote himself.
After all, there are too many factions recruiting manpower in the chat channel.
If you send a message without the two words "Lin An", probably no one will notice what you said.
Seeing the tone in the channel shift, many people wondered why there was still no news of Long'an Base completing its city-defense mission, and he couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
Those fools still harboring illusions about Long'an Base probably don't realize that the base itself can barely hold on, right?
Without hesitation, he directly opened the chat channel and sent a message:
"Cowering and timid, Lin An is such trash; if I ever find out where he is, I will definitely lead the Iron Legion and kill that little rat. After establishing the city, I will never hide like he does! At that time, I will surely give everyone a place to settle!"
At his side, the little brothers, following Wu Yu's gesture, also started sending messages:
"Trash Lin An! He wasted the first Safe Zone; if foreigners found out, they'd die laughing."
"Support Boss Wu Yu! True strong ones dare to step forward and protect a region, not hide trembling like some trash..."
In the system channel, with no blocked words, naturally one can curse however they like.
Many who saw Wu Yu's subordinates speaking like that couldn't help but question them.
Where does this confidence come from.
That's right, Lin An indeed hasn't appeared yet, but if you think about it a little, could completing the Safe Zone task be done by a weakling?
In the channel, some cursed, some mocked, but the more justified complaint was dissatisfaction with Lin An not showing up and Long'an Base refusing to take in survivors.
Those who doubt his strength are very few.
Seeing Awakened Ones in the channel cheering him on and stirring things up, as well as those who couldn't help but voice doubts about himself, Wu Yu gave a disdainful smile.
He certainly knows this principle.
But the problem is, he personally saw Lin An severely wounded and unconscious!
In the entire Long'an Base, fewer than a thousand people remain alive, and most of them are the old, weak, sick, and disabled, while weapons and ammunition have been completely exhausted.
Having learned this news, if he didn't make a big show of it, he'd really be letting himself down.
Let them argue; the louder the better.
When the time comes, I, Laozi, will take down Long An, and all this will bring me prestige!
Long'an Base.
Huang Haitao looked oddly at the few people in the channel who began provoking one after another, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
These people, they're all cut from the same cloth.
After receiving the major news about Lin An, the heads of all factions did the same thing.
Now in the channel, they have their subordinates start building momentum, praising themselves, belittling Lin An, and privately frantically recruiting manpower.
Aside from a few cautious ones planning to act covertly, at least most of the factions he sold to are doing this.
Looking at the last disc on the table, Huang Haitao shook his head slightly.
Almost enough; the quantity Lin Dui needs is nearly gathered.
Lin Dui had them also pose as mysterious information sellers, hawking some supplies.
Of course, the buyers were carefully selected.
For example, the major faction occupying the factory is the first target, while those who repeatedly insulted Long An are the second target.
Anyway, we need to clean house, so we might as well lure them all out at once.
Each disc contains different footage, hastily edited.
What they see on the screen is only Lin An severely wounded and the city falling.
Scenes like Gao Tian and the defense tower attacks were all cut out.
The aim is to make Long'an Base appear as defenseless as a young maiden, so that anyone who comes can take it.
He didn't expect that.
Huang Haitao, with a hint of emotion, gathered up the equipment on the table, preparing to hand it over to Lin An.
This trade yielded a total of seven pieces of equipment, plus a pile of materials, three Spirit Energy Fruits, and two skill books.
To be honest, it's really faster than robbery.
This doesn't even count the large amounts of strategic supplies like oil, steel, and grain.
Moreover, the Wangjiang Military Region has taken the bait; they probably gained a lot of supplies as well.
In the meeting room, Lin An looked with interest at the supplies on the table, casually picking up a Spirit Energy Fruit and swallowing it.
"Ding, gained +1 Strength, burst power increased by 10%"
It really was free...
"How did the information sales go? How many people on the Wangjiang side are ready to betray us?"
Seeing Lin An ask, Huang Haitao hurriedly replied at a rapid pace:
"Lord Lin An, we sold information a total of 23 times."
"Of those, I and Miss Wen Ya sold six times, and the Wangjiang Military Region sold seventeen times."
"The number of people hooked from the Wangjiang Military Region totals 136."
"Among them, 39 Awakened Ones, 97 family members of the military region's commanders, and the rest are external survivors."
"Three colonels, two staff officers, one from the Materiel Management Office, and 14 non-military-region Awakened Ones; these 14 are all gang leaders and members among the survivors."
A light chuckle.
Lin An's fingertips unconsciously began tapping the tabletop, a flash of ruthlessness crossing his eyes.
The number of those who took the bait is far more than he imagined.
Moreover, the information has been leaked.
His own information was known only to the two thousand Awakened Ones gathered by Wang Meng, but now it seems that many of those two thousand have secretly contacted the unaware, preparing to plot a joint uprising.
You know, Wang Meng has issued a ban!
As a member of the Military Region, to violate Wang Meng's ban—one can easily guess their motives.
Including those not counted in the statistics, as well as those who colluded and spread during these few hours.
In the whole Wangjiang Military Region, those with ulterior motives are at least three or four times as many.
Faced with such temptation, they acted quite swiftly.
There's nothing to delay.
Once they bite, that's enough.
Dragging it out a bit longer might let us catch more mice, but who knows—someone might not be able to resist using the supplies first.
With that thought.
Lin An slowly rose to his feet and strode out of the meeting room.
"Awakened Ones Special Forces, all units mobilized—ready to capture and kill!"
At the same time, on the already arranged armored vehicles, the fully armed Awakened Ones squads solemnly gripped their weapons.
Even from the time the plan was devised, they had rushed to the vicinity of the Wangjiang Military Region.
They silently gazed at the distant Wangjiang Military Region, and many faces showed a hint of cruel smiles.
They previously had designs on us, and now they're selling out our information?
Sorry, we don't want to be your enemies.
But courting death really leads to death.
They know what their mission is, and they know what will happen next.
Long'an Base hasn't denied these people opportunities; even Lin Dui made you aware of the strength gap.
Wang Meng issued the ban, doing everything he could.
The fish have taken the bait, the mice are running about.
Our Long An, benevolent to the utmost, righteous to the end.
