"You son of a bitch!"
As soon as the call connected, Xi Wen couldn't help but curse. The person on the other end was clearly stunned for a moment, and then a voice responded.
"I'll be damned, where the hell were you when such a big thing happened? Why didn't you contact me!"
This time it was Xi Wen's turn to be stunned. He never imagined that Gexi Niao would have the nerve to curse back, and he was speechless for a moment.
The others were already looking at each other, not daring to speak.
Only Xi Wen dared to speak to Gexi Niao like this. If it were anyone else, their head might already be gone!
At this moment, Xi Wen finally reacted and said sternly, "You old Gexi, not sending reinforcements in time is one thing, but now you have the nerve to scold people!"
"I'll be damned! Headquarters lied to me, did your head grow grass? Didn't you contact me!"
Xi Wen was completely stunned.
"What? Headquarters lied to you?"
"You son of a bitch, don't you know the nature of headquarters? It's during the Green competition, what won't they do?"
The misunderstanding was instantly resolved, but Xi Wen's face turned ashamed, and he didn't dare to speak.
"Quick, shut this thing down."
Xi Wen, finally understanding what was going on, hurriedly asked Li Chonglou to disconnect, but Gexi Niao also heard this. Gexi Niao's curses came from the scoring device again.
"You son of a bitch, you just wait! I'm coming over, and you'll see if I beat you or not!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Wen fumbled and pressed the disconnect button, and the surroundings became quiet again.
Xi Wen breathed a sigh of relief, and Old Niu walked up and said, "Captain, why didn't you tell him that our communication device was lost long ago?"
Xi Wen sighed and said, "Forget it, it's good that things are clear now. It's headquarters' problem."
The people in the nearby base had extremely ugly expressions. Although the two had mostly cursed in their conversation, everyone had clearly heard why the Iron Forest's strongholds hadn't sent any reinforcements.
These damned headquarters! To play with the lives of the base personnel!
Everyone clenched their fists tightly. Even Li Chonglou, who had been silent, could clearly feel the hatred emanating from everyone.
Xi Wen naturally felt it and suddenly said, "Let Old Gexi handle this matter. I believe he will give us a perfect explanation for the base."
Although he also hated headquarters, he had to appease everyone's emotions at the moment, as all the resources came from headquarters, and they didn't have the ability to openly challenge headquarters yet.
Therefore, this matter could only be handed over to Gexi Niao to handle!
After a long silence, to divert everyone's attention, Xi Wen asked Li Chonglou.
"Xiao Li, what's the situation outside now? Can we go out?"
Li Chonglou's eyes narrowed slightly. Remembering his masterpiece on the first floor, he knew that this matter could probably not be hidden, so after a long deliberation, he said.
"If your ammunition is still sufficient, you should be able to charge out. But if those enforcers outside are not dealt with, there is not much point in leaving the beast's nest."
Xi Wen's brow furrowed immediately, "So you were the only one when you came in?"
Li Chonglou nodded, "I did come a bit faster, but Gexi Niao has also arranged for others to come. They should be here by now, but we are not sure about the situation upstairs yet."
After speaking, Li Chonglou added, "Do you want me to go up and take a look?"
"Is it okay?"
"Don't worry."
The two quickly reached an agreement. Li Chonglou said no more and directly unfolded his movement technique, rushing towards the direction of the first floor again.
However, as he was leaving, he still reminded Xi Wen, "Well, keep this a secret for me."
After saying that, he rushed into the beast tide in the distance. In everyone's eyes, Li Chonglou's way of advancing was completely different from Zhang Hu's. Without any pause, although he was alone, he rushed into the beast group like a wolf entering a flock of sheep.
In just five minutes, he completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Is it really that smooth?"
The base personnel looked at each other. It was impossible, because Li Chonglou's performance was too effortless. What should have been a task on the edge of a knife was like a trip for Li Chonglou. With a few light jumps, he disappeared into the beast group.
Xi Wen suddenly remembered that Zhang Hu should have seen the situation on the first floor, and couldn't help but ask him, "What's the situation upstairs? Why do these mutated beasts have such abnormal reactions?"
Everyone also turned their attention to Zhang Hu. Although his face was slightly pale, and he was clearly in the weak period after breaking through, his condition was obviously much better than the breakthroughs of Fang Zhang and others before. At least simple conversation and travel were not a problem.
"Captain, I think you should go up and see for yourselves. I can't explain this kind of thing."
Zhang Hu shook his head. He still suspected whether he had seen it wrong at that moment, and he didn't dare to speak carelessly.
Xi Wen hesitated for a moment and finally made the decision to counterattack.
"Alright, in that case, we'll charge up!"
Although Li Chonglou spent less than ten minutes coming in and going out, almost all the mutated giant beasts along the way had turned into corpses. The few remaining ones also clearly posed no great threat.
It was precisely because of this that Xi Wen dared to make this decision. Otherwise, even if he had twice the number of people, it would not be enough to be slaughtered by the mutated creatures on the third floor!
Hearing Xi Wen say they were going to charge up, the base personnel who were already full of anger were all eager to try. One was because they needed to vent their hatred for headquarters; the other was because of Li Chonglou's performance, which had greatly dispelled their fear of these mutated creatures.
Since others could do it, why couldn't they?
There were still more than fifty people surviving at this time. Because they had been almost constantly fleeing since entering, and there was little combat, their ammunition was still sufficient.
The fifty-odd people were divided into six small teams, led by the vanguard team formed by Xi Wen and Old Niu. At this moment, the crowd formed an arrow formation and steadily pushed towards the first-floor passage.
Everyone was full of fighting spirit and enthusiasm, but when they actually started, they truly experienced the terror of Li Chonglou's strength.
"Damn it, why is this guy's skin so tough! It seemed like one punch could have blown him up just now, and I needed two armor-piercing rounds!"
"Damn, be careful of that rhinoceros on the left! Its speed is so fast!"
