Bi Jing turned around, looked at him calmly, and said, "Lu Xinyi and I are partners, but it is limited to cooperation. After all, I am a member of the Dawn Base. Do you want me to watch the members of my Dawn Base being killed and choose to turn a blind eye?"

“What’s more, Meizhen is your daughter, Uncle Xu. How can I help Lu Xinyi hide it from you?”

Xu Hongliang still had some doubts, but seeing that his expression was serious and determined, and his eyes were not evasive or flustered at all, there was no sign of lying.

After a moment's silence, he said, "Thank you for bringing back Meizhen's body and telling me the truth about her cause of death."

"This is what I should do." Bi Jing said without blushing or beating his heart.

Soon, Xu Hongliang took away Xu Meizhen's body.

Only when Xu Hongliang's figure disappeared completely did Mr. Xie call Bi Jing to his side.

"What's going on?" He looked up at his tall and sturdy grandson in front of him and asked with a frown.

"Just as I just said to Xu Hongliang."

"Did that little girl Lu Xinyi really kill him?"

"It was a young man named Qin Ju who was under her command who killed him. But that young man was Lu Xinyi's man. If Xu Hongliang wanted to seek revenge, he would definitely look for Lu Xinyi. So, it's no different from being killed by Lu Xinyi."

Mr. Xie's cloudy but shrewd eyes stared at Bi Jing without blinking, as if he could see through him.

"Are you hiding something from me?"

"Grandpa, please believe me, everything I do is for the base."

Mr. Xie looked at him silently.

The grandparents and grandchildren looked at each other for a long time.

Elder Xie sighed and said, "I am old after all, and this base will eventually be handed over to you. I believe you are doing this for the base, but I hope you can remember your original intention as a soldier."

Bi Jing felt a surge of self-blame and guilt.

But now that things have come to this, he can't afford to regret anything.

"I remember, Grandpa," he replied seriously and firmly.

……

Xu Hongliang held a grand funeral for Xu Meizhen.

Except for Mr. Xie and Bi Jing, all the others who attended the funeral were from his faction.

At the banquet, he told everyone the cause of Xu Meizhen's death.

Finally, he said: "This Oasis Base is really too much. They dared to murder my daughter! They simply don't take our Dawn Base seriously!"

"I plan to go to the Oasis Base myself and kill this Lu Xinyi to avenge my daughter!"

These people usually follow Xu Hongliang's lead. Now that they hear that he wants to avenge Xu Meizhen, they naturally don't want to miss this opportunity to please him.

"Brother Xu, we'll go with you!" A middle-aged man of similar age stood up and said angrily, "This Lu Xinyi is so arrogant! He's the head of a small base, but he dared to bully our Shuguang Base! He even dared to kill Meizhen. He's really lawless!"

Others echoed.

"That's right. It's just a small base. We can just destroy them. Then we can take all their supplies. If their people are willing to join us, we can also accept them."

"Why should we accept their people? How can the people in such a small base be good? I guess they are just like Lu Xinyi, a bunch of arrogant people. Let them fend for themselves!"

Mr. Xie and Bi Jing, who were standing by, frowned as they listened.

These people are all managers of the base, but what they say are not what managers of an official base should say.

If other people heard this, how could they think that the Dawn Base was an official base?

I’m afraid people will think it’s some gangster’s base!

These people were all Xu Hongliang's confidants, and Xu Hongliang provided a large amount of supplies in the early days of the base's establishment in exchange for the position of base chief.

The base has only been established for a few months, and they asked Xu Hongliang to hand over his power, which really seems like they are killing the donkey after it has served its purpose.

Therefore, they had been tolerating this group of people and allowing Xu Hongliang to form cliques and factions and build his own power.

Xu Hongliang looked at the indignant crowd and said excitedly: "Tomorrow, we will go to the Oasis Base to avenge Meizhen!"

Everyone shouted: "Revenge for Meizhen!"

Xu Hongliang waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then turned to look at Bi Jing and said, "Xiao Bi, bring your people with us tomorrow."

Bi Jing put on an awkward look and said, "Uncle Xu, I'm afraid this isn't a good idea. Lu Xinyi and I have worked together twice before, and it's really inappropriate to turn against each other now."

Xu Hongliang thought for a moment and said, "Then tell us about the situation at the Oasis Base so that we can be prepared."

"Okay." Bi Jing nodded and replied, "There are not many people in the Oasis Base, only 27 in total. Among them -"

"How many?" Before he could finish, someone asked in surprise, "How many people do you think are there in the Oasis base?"

"Eight people."

Everyone: "..."

Even Mr. Xie was deeply surprised.

There are only 27 people in one base!

This number is too small!

Seeing everyone's reaction, Bi Jing cleared his throat and continued, "Among these 27 people, only 9 are superpowered people, and the rest are ordinary people."

"Tsk, just nine psychics!" one person said contemptuously, "There are only 27 people in this Oasis base, and I'm afraid it all relies on these nine psychics. If we bring or psychics and a batch of guns, we will definitely crush them!"

"Bi Jing, although you said at the beginning that this Oasis Base was a small base, we never imagined that it would be so pitifully small! Why would you choose to cooperate with such a small base?" someone asked in confusion.

Bi Jing answered truthfully: "Because Lu Xinyi is very powerful."

"What's the point of her being so powerful?" the man said disdainfully, "That can't change the fact that there are only 27 people in their base! They can't be crushed to death so easily!"

Xu Hongliang remained silent, his face gloomy and serious, while he was secretly calculating in his mind.

He originally thought that it would take some effort to avenge Meizhen, but he didn't expect that this oasis base was so weak.

Revenge for Meizhen is easy and effortless!

At that time, they can also take all the supplies in the oasis base for themselves.

The Oasis Base also participated in the grain storage operation and was allocated more than 100 tons of grain.

How much can 27 of them eat?

There must be a lot left!

By then, all the remaining food will be his!

……

The next day.

Ten cars carrying more than forty people drove out of the Shuguang Base and headed straight towards Taoyuan Village.

And the moment they left the base, a radio message was sent to the Oasis base.

Just four short words——

People have set off.
