At that time, in Huaxia Base, Si Kongchen was sitting in the office, reading a report with a poker face. Xie Longyun was sitting on the couch in his office, doing her manicure with her legs crossed.
 

She fixed her pretty eyes on her own hands, then slightly moved her red lips and said,
Is it really necessary to trade our supplies with those foreign countries for these weapons? Are they really so useful? I don’t understand. Are our own weapons not good enough? Do you have to do the trade?

 

Si Kongchen slightly raised his eyes to give her a glance, then dropped his eyelids again as he said,
Why is it not useful? If we merge the features of their weapons into our own, our own weapons will become even better. Look at those creatures that came out from the underground recently. You should be aware of how important weapons are.

Xie Longyun paused and said,
But, I think our own weapons aren’t worse than theirs. As long as the people in your research base use their brains, it won’t be hard to improve our current weapons. Don’t you know serious our shortage of food is now? The crops cultivated without soil have low nutrition value, not to mention the pathetically poor harvest. We need to provide over a million people three meals a day. I wonder if you’ve ever thought about how many people might die of starvation.

 

Weapons were important indeed. However, they were able to produce good weapons by themselves. So, why trade the precious food for the weapons produced by the others?
 

If people didn’t have food to keep them alive and healthy and clothes to keep them warm, how could weapons help them? Before true danger happened, they might die of starvation already.
 


What’s the matter? This world now follows the law of the jungle. The ones who can’t adapt to this world will be sifted out eventually. Why should we care so much about the others? We won’t die of starvation, and that’ll be enough,
said Si Kongchen blandly.

Don’t forget that you’re a base leader,
said Xie Longyun,
You are responsible for the residents of your base. Otherwise, why would they seek protection from you? Without such a big population, where could you find so many technicians to strengthen this base? If you don’t care about them, you might regret when they all leave.

 

Si Kongchen didn’t seem to take her words seriously at all as he said expressionlessly,
I didn’t want so many people to join my base in the first place. The board decided to let them in. They can leave if they want to. The smart people know whether Huaxia Base is stronger or Sea City Base. Those people won’t leave. They clearly know that dying here of starvation is better than being eaten by zombies or mutated animals out there.

 

Xie Longyun was aware that she wasn’t able to talk any sense into the man. So, she changed the topic,
Oh, didn’t you say that the robber will come to find you? Why didn’t he show up?

Si Kongchen turned a page of the report and said,
He won’t come to me. I heard from his men that he was taken by the woman from All Beings Base.

Xie Longyun stopped short, then raised her head and looked at him with surprise,
She has the courage to do that? She actually let a robber join her base? How ridiculous! Is she dumb?

 

No base would accept robbers, because ninety percent of them ate people. They had lost their humanity. Letting them into a base would lead to hidden trouble. This time, Si Kongchen didn’t say anything. Clearly, he did not want to continue that topic.
 

Xie Yunlong dropped the nail file, then bent over and reached out to pick up the teacup on the tea table. Then, she took a sip of the tea elegantly and put the cup back on the table.
 


Isn’t that good? Release the news in her base. Let’s see how she will try to save her small base that only has thousands of people.


The result would certainly be her joining Sea City Base, and then Sea City Base would have two level-eight beings. What good would that do to us?
said Si Kongchen coldly.
 

Xie Longyun snorted,
What’s the difference? She’s so close with Wu Chengyue now, and their bases are only about a hundred miles apart. What difference would it make if she joined Sea City Base? I wonder what that woman did to make Wu Chengyue agree to let her build a base just a hundred miles away from his base. Has he changed? Has he decided not to be single anymore?

 


As long as she stays in her own base, I can make her be unable to go to Sea City Base for help,
said Si Kongchen blandly.
 

At that moment, Wei Haichao knocked on the door, then walked in with a file. He smiled at Xie Longyun and said,
Hey, the pretty lady is here too. Aren’t you busy today?

 

Xie Longyun raised her eyes and gave him a charming smile, then winked at him and said,
I am busy. Chief Si asked me to make some time to come here for tea, because he doesn’t me to get exhausted.

 

Receiving that wink, Wei Haichao even had his heart leaped. He gave her a polite smile and said,
Oh, then you have to thank our Chief. He cares about you so much.

 

While speaking, he walked toward Si Kongchen and handed him the file.
There’s a funny news about Wu Chengyue. Would you like to take a look?
he said to Si Kongchen.
 


What?
Si Kongchen raised his head and looked at him while taking over the file.
 


He has a son now. The boy’s only about a month old. We don’t know who’s the mother yet,
said Wei Haichao with interest.
 


What!
Before Si Kongchen said a word, Xie Longyun had already exclaimed out loud,
Wu Chengyue has a son? Where did that boy come from?

 

Wei Haichao turned to her as he spread his hands and raised his eyebrows,
How am I supposed to know? We’re still trying to find out. He’s been acting weird lately though. He’s been spending a lot of time in All Beings Base.

 

Si Kongchen started reading the file. He stayed expressionless when listening to Wei Haichao, but as he started to talk, his tone of speaking contained a slight trace of surprise,
Where did that boy come from? Is this real? You didn’t get false information, did you?

 

As far as he knew, Wu Chengyue had no interest in women at all. Last year, he was raped by the woman who now led All Beings Base. Some said that he had killed that woman, but she turned out to be perfectly alive. She had also built a new base, and apart from that, she reached to level-eight within a single year.
 

Who said that woman used to rely on men to survive? If he guessed right, she must have had her superpower hidden. As for all those boyfriends of hers, they might be her cover. Plenty of evidence proved that she did sleep with all those men though.
 

The more real it seemed, the more doubtful it became.
 


How is that possible? I heard that some people have seen that boy. Many think the Chief lady from All Beings Base is the boy’s mother. However, no one had detected any trace of pregnancy on the woman in the past ten months,
Wei Haichao folded his arms and said.
