Yu Miaomiao was betting on this very limit. She thought that as long as she could push Bai iyue to her limit, the woman would lose her strength to fight. When that happens, she would send the ability users to rescue Bai iyue and her child. That way, she would be able to control the two of them much better than she would have by cornering them.
And even if by so miracle, Bai iyue succeeded in holding on until Lei Qian arrived, then it was no loss in Yu Miaomiao’s eyes. The two of them could never escape the base in her eyes; thus, she was not worried about their reactions, even if they were to get angry, they would never dare to go outside the base. The conditions outside were simply inhuman.
Thus, she believed that Bai iyue was under her control and nothing would change this.
So, in her eyes, even if Bai iyue sohow managed to continue fending off the flesh-eating bugs, she would be helping her by eradicating the danger. And even if Lei Qian arrived, he would only add to the already existing force. She had no worries or care about the people who would die in this pull-and-push ga of hers. Compared to her, Bai iyue was much better; at least she was trying to save the lives of the soldiers who were attacked by the mutated bugs.
When Lu Jingguo thought about Yu Miaomiao’s actions and looked at Bai iyue, who was willing to save the lives of even her enemies, he couldn’t help but be disgusted.
Did Yu Miaomiao even think about how they were going to survive if they didn’t control these mutated bugs when their population was still manageable? What if their numbers increased when they were lying back and doing nothing? He had researched a little about these mutated species, and Lu Jingguo knew very well that these species reproduced really fast.
Which ant that if they didn’t control these mutated bugs quickly, they would soon be drowned in a wave of them.
Lu Jingguo snorted coldly. He really couldn’t understand how Yu Miaomiao, who called herself a researcher, couldn’t think of sothing so simple. Or maybe she did, but she didn’t care because she had more than four hundred ability users under her command. The number was actually five hundred, but after today’s incident, the number had reduced to five hundred.
Even though their hearts were riddled with grief, anger and a sense of loss, there was nothing they could do at the mont. Just wait; once they bring the rest of the ability users by their side, they will definitely avenge those who have lost their lives. He would no longer stay in this rotten base, but instead, he would move to another place with the rest of the ability users and live a good life.
"I asked you to find the family mbers of the ability users," said Bai Feng. He stared at the man who had the telescopic abilities and asked him, "Did you find them? Without them, we will never be able to make the rest of the ability users give up on Yu Miaomiao."
Yu Miaomiao sensed that there was sothing wrong with him; thus, she imdiately moved the families of the ability users. Bai Feng didn’t know how that woman was so quick to notice it, but then again, she was as sharp as a monkey.
Lu Jingguo turned to the telescopic ability user, who shook his head. He had a gloomy expression on his face as he said, "Fox is quite sly. He didn’t tell anything to Yu Miaomiao but that is only because he knows nothing about our plans. He is also wavering between keeping his loyalty to Yu Miaomiao and betraying her. He must be trying to see if we are even capable of doing what he suspects. Only when he becos sure that we can take down Yu Miaomiao will he open his mouth."
"I did try to track him, but he is as wily as a fox and won’t give up anything unless he gets a definite answer."
Fox was the tipping stone of the power struggle; if only he opened his mouth, then they would get an answer to all of their questions.
However, that man was so tight-lipped that it was getting harder and harder to get even the smallest bit of information.
Lu Jingguo sighed. He knew that Fox was smart. He must be betting on their chances, and only when he becos sure would he betray Yu Miaomiao. He pursed his lips and then turned to look at Bai Feng, "But what are we going to do after saving the lives of the hostages? You are forgetting that most of them are pregnant won, children and the elderly. There are hardly any young ones."
Lu Jingguo was certain that he wouldn’t be able to deal with any of them.
"Send them all to Bai iyue," replied Bai Feng. He glanced at the penthouse; even though he couldn’t see anything clearly, he could see many elderly people and children playing in the rooftop greenhouse. There were also nurses and doctors to take care of the pregnant won and infants. With Bai iyue by their side, these people wouldn’t have to worry about anything. Nor would the ability users focus on their pregnant wives, old parents or children, with them being safe and sound.
With the ability users focusing on the war, they would be sure to win.
"But they are living right across," said Lu Jingguo with a frown. "Even if we move the hostages to her care, it won’t take long for Yu Miaomiao to find them."
"They are moving," said Bai Feng. With his hands behind his back, he stared out of the window. "Yu Miaomiao believes that Bai iyue will never leave the base, but she underestimated her. Bai iyue will never submit to soone just because she feels afraid. She is soone who is willing to fight to death if worst cos to worst; do you think that she will stay back?"
