Chapter 974 - 981: Occupying the Base (Part 1)
The people were rescued, and Ling Chen wasted no time, immediately preparing to retreat with Tang Guolun and the others.
"Ling Chen, wait." Tang Guolun called out to Ling Chen, who was about to walk out, and asked, "How do we get out?"
"Do we still need to ask? Of course, we’ll just fight our way out and destroy this base on the way," Ling Chen replied. With Tang Guolun and the others already rescued and not under any threat, there was no need for him to hide. Acting directly would be more efficient. Besides, he saw earlier that, apart from a group of security personnel, there were no other experts in this base.
"No, no, no!" Tang Guolun immediately stopped Ling Chen’s action and said, "I don’t care about the people from the God Organization, but this base must not be destroyed."
Ling Chen asked puzzledly, "Why?"
"This is a newly built base by the God Organization, very large and well-equipped. Building such a base would require at least billions in investment. Since it’s a new base, not many people from the God Organization have moved in yet. If we can take over this base and claim it as our own, not only will we save on rebuilding costs, but more importantly, we’ll save time."
Upon hearing this, Ling Chen immediately recalled what Ling Kun had told him. Ling Kun mentioned that the God Organization planned to move its power to East Sea City, making East Sea City its main base. It seems this base is the new main base built by the God Organization. If that’s the case, it might be wise to accept Tang Guolun’s suggestion and keep this base intact.
Thinking of this, a question suddenly popped into Ling Chen’s mind. "Boss Tang, why did the God Organization imprison you and your group here specifically?"
"They want to exploit our talents. My brothers here are computer experts, adept in various skills. Besides, didn’t I mention to you before? The God Organization once tried to recruit me to work for them, but I refused. This time, they wanted to persuade me again to work for them."
"I see." Ling Chen nodded and said, "Alright, let’s do as you said, deal with the God Organization people first, and preserve this base." With that, Ling Chen took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
Two minutes passed, and Ling Chen figured it was about time. He then led the porridge girl, Tang Guolun, and the others toward the outside.
Soon, the group heard a piercing alarm sound within the base. Hearing the alarm, Ling Chen smirked and said with a smile, "Our reinforcements have arrived."
As he spoke, the group arrived at the base’s control center. At this moment, apart from more than twenty staff members, no security personnel was in sight in the large control center.
"Boss Tang, it’s up to you now."
"No problem, just wait." With those words, Tang Guolun immediately led the others to drive the group of staff away from the computers.
In less than three minutes, the entire base was under Ling Chen’s control. Simultaneously, Ling Chen received a phone call. After listening, he smiled slightly and turned to the porridge girl, saying, "The security personnel outside have been dealt with."
"Who handled it?"
"My second brother and the others. When you called me, I took the opportunity to notify them. Just as we came in to rescue people, they were waiting outside." Ling Chen said. It was just now that Xu Ming acted outside, drawing the base’s security personnel. But they never imagined that the enemy wasn’t just outside; there were also people inside.
"Boss Tang, please open the door, my second brother and the others are still waiting outside."
"Got it!"
Not long after, Xu Ming, Yuan Yun, and Zhang Zhongfeng walked in from outside the base. Seeing everyone was safe and sound, Yuan Yun patted Ling Chen on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Finally, everyone is rescued."
"The greatest gain this time wasn’t just rescuing people but also seizing a new base from the God Organization." Ling Chen gestured around and asked, "Third Brother, what do you think, satisfied with my new home?"
"You’re quite something!" Yuan Yun laughed heartily, "You even claimed their lair as your own. Not bad, this place is good. They destroyed your base, and you took one back from them, so it’s fair."
"Thanks to the porridge girl for her help. If it weren’t for her providing the intel and telling me Boss Tang’s whereabouts, I wouldn’t have achieved such a huge gain."
"Alright." Xu Ming interjected, "Since everyone is rescued, let’s head back to the hospital. Our Fifth Sister called just now, saying Big Brother has woken up."
"Really?" Ling Chen’s eyes brightened, and he finally felt relief.
"How about this, Second Brother, you all go visit Big Brother at the hospital first. I’ll come find you after wrapping things up here."
"No rush." Zhang Zhongfeng said, "We’ll keep Big Brother company, don’t worry too much. Finish up your business here. Since you just seized the base from the God Organization, I reckon they won’t let it go easily. I fear they’ll seize the chance to counterattack, so you must be careful."
"Fourth Brother, rest assured, I’ll be well-prepared, ensuring the God Organization has no opportunity to act."
After seeing off Xu Ming and the others, Ling Chen returned to the base’s control center. At that moment, Tang Guolun was changing the base’s security system with a group of subordinates, altering all the access passwords for all the blast doors.
After chatting with Tang Guolun for a bit, Ling Chen went to the porridge girl’s side and asked, "Are you staying here tonight or...?"
"I’ll stay here tonight, so the God Organization doesn’t come looking for trouble." Pausing for a moment, the porridge girl changed the subject and said, "You’d better be cautious of Ji Gang. According to my intel, Ji Gang has already arrived in East Sea City. Once Lin Guodong learns the base has been seized, he’ll surely send skilled operatives. So, it’s possible Ji Gang might make a move."
"Ji Gang, huh?" Ling Chen touched his nose, frowning slightly. They were short on personnel now, and if Ji Gang made a move, he genuinely didn’t have the strength to counter him. Moreover, he had to consider Chen Quan. From the current situation, Zhu Hong had already collaborated with the God Organization. If Lin Guodong enlisted Chen Quan and Ji Gang to act together, the trouble would be substantial.
After thinking it over, Ling Chen turned and walked to Tang Guolun, asking, "Boss Tang, how’s the defense of this base?"
"You can rest assured about that." Tang Guolun replied with a smile. "The God Organization planned to use this base as their main base, so they ensured the base’s defense mechanism was reinforced. I checked the base’s data earlier. The outer walls of the base are made of one meter of concrete and twenty centimeters of steel plates, extremely solid, making it impossible to easily destroy even with bombs. Besides that, the base’s defense system is also very formidable."
