611: Chapter 611 Lost contact with the base

"Ran Kun, what's going on?" Cui Quanxi asked over the phone.

Ran Kun was the general manager of the Jingji Underground Base.

"I don't know! The order was sent out, but it doesn't seem to have much effect," Ran Kun said.

Half an hour had passed now.

The 20,000 Soldiers imprisoned in the Jingji Underground Base had no reaction whatsoever.

This was illogical.

Even if the space inside was large, continuous ventilation for half an hour should have shown a significant change.

"Send someone to check!" Cui Quanxi roared.

"Why are you yelling?! Someone has already been sent!" Ran Kun retorted unhappily.

"You'd better resolve this quickly! Otherwise, you can explain it directly to the Elder Hall!" Cui Quanxi said harshly.

"Du du du ~" Ran Kun hung up the phone directly.

"Have you found out? What's the problem?" Ran Kun yelled at his subordinate.

"Team Leader, I don't know what's going on, the exhaust fans are out of control," a staff member replied, frowning.

"Team Leader, all our control functions are currently Invalidation! We've lost contact with the base!" another staff member suddenly shouted.

"What?!" Ran Kun was shocked.

Once he lost contact with the base, he could be finished at any moment.

With trembling hands, he picked up the phone and called Wu Shengrong.

Wu Shengrong was a Council member and the Director of the Land Administration Department.

After the Huatong Chamber of Commerce was nationalized, the Land Administration Department took over the Mercenary Guild's communication network.

"Council Member Wu, this is Ran Kun..."

"Du du du ~"

As soon as Ran Kun spoke, Wu Shengrong hung up the phone directly.

Now that their identity as cultists was confirmed, who would dare to deal with him?

"Damn it!" Ran Kun cursed.

Losing contact with the base was extremely dangerous.

Without tens of thousands of Soldiers as hostages, they could easily be eliminated.

He believed that the loss of contact between his warship and the base was definitely not accidental, so he quickly notified Cui Quanxi.

"Cui Quanxi, we've lost contact with the base. All of you should also check the situation of your own bases. I suspect someone is behind this," Ran Kun said.

Upon receiving the message, Cui Quanxi's heart sank.

It was indeed possible.

He quickly contacted the managers of the other two bases and immediately ordered his staff to conduct tests.

The test results were exactly as Ran Kun had said: the remote control functions of all four bases had failed.

"Retreat first!" Cui Quanxi urgently issued the retreat order.

Without hostages in hand, the Council would surely act immediately.

"Old Qin, they're trying to run," Baili Ji said with a smile.

"I'm afraid they won't be able to," Old Qin said calmly.

Baili Ji was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly.

He understood now that Old Qin wasn't flustered because of his good mentality, but because everything was under his control.

On the large screen, the image changed.

It no longer displayed the warriors of the Jingji Underground Base, but instead showed Cui Quanxi's warship command hall.

"What is the reason?! Why did the warship suddenly lose control?! Move! Move! Go investigate for me!" Cui Quanxi shouted in the hall.

Baili Ji sat on the sofa, becoming a spectator.

His mood finally eased.

Staff members moved back and forth within the warship, conducting various checks.

But they were all half-understood, and no one knew what was going on.

All 20 warships from the four bases gathered together and flew eastward.

Behind them, 20 Military Region warships followed closely.

"Report!"

"Enter!"

"Speaker, General Wei Li from the Zhongwu Military Sub-district of the Southeast Military Region requests communication."

"Hello, this is Baili Ji," Baili Ji said, taking the phone.

"Speaker, I am Wei Li, acting on Commander Zong's orders, leading 20 warships to reinforce the capital. Please give instructions."

Baili Ji glanced at Old Qin.

These 20 warships had been here for a while, so why were they only reporting now?

"Keep a close eye on the 20 warships that just retreated. Report any situation immediately," Baili Ji said.

"Yes!" Wei Li hung up the phone.

After the reporting Soldier went out, Baili Ji asked:

"Old Qin, you're not going to let them go back, are you?"

"How do you think it's appropriate to handle this?" Old Qin asked.

"Cui Quanxi and his group must be captured, but it might be difficult to distinguish the others," Baili Ji said.

"Then let's proceed with that for now!" Old Qin said.

The staff members under them were merely following orders, and it was hard to say whether they had done anything wrong.

If too many people were implicated, it might cause widespread panic.

The 20 warships of the direct subordinate base were actually controlled by Xiao Lin.

After flying away from the capital, the miniature robots installed inside automatically activated.

Oriental Chen issued a cleanup directive.

"Chirp ~"

"Chirp chirp ~"

The robots rampaged through the warships, selectively slaughtering some personnel.

Oriental Chen did not inform Old Qin about this.

Many staff members were killed one after another without any protection.

The remaining ones who weren't killed sat on the ground, scared half to death.

Everyone knew that the crime they committed was serious.

Besieging the Council Building was an act of rebellion, and being killed if they failed was very normal.
