At night, the base also had guards. After seeing Wang Zifeng and discovering he was a survivor, they checked him for injuries and let him in. After all, he was an adult man, and even if he wasn't brave enough to fight, he could at least add some labor to the base!

　　The next day, Wang Zifeng revealed that he was an ability user. Jin Yuan and Hong Li, upon hearing that an ability user had arrived at the base, naturally wanted to meet him in person.

　　During their conversation, Hong Li and Jin Yuan learned about Wang Zifeng's abilities and his story. Of course, the story was fabricated by Wang Zifeng; he couldn't possibly reveal that he had used his son as a shield against the mutated rats.

　　Wang Zifeng, in turn, learned from them that their base had also been established with the help of Li Chenzhou, and that the survivors in the base had all been rescued from the city by Li Chenzhou's team.

　　Moreover, Wang Zifeng heard from Jin Yuan and Hong Li that Li Chenzhou's team was going to continue rescuing people and helping to build more bases for humanity!

　　This was naturally not good news for Wang Zifeng.

　　He didn't think that Li Chenzhou was rescuing people simply to save more humans; he thought that Li Chenzhou had grand ambitions. If all the survivor bases around Qing City were established with their help, how much power would Li Chenzhou have in the Qing City area in the future?

　　However, trying to stop Li Chenzhou and his team now seemed impossible, because Wang Zifeng had learned from Jin Yuan and Hong Li that Li Chenzhou's team was small, and all its members were ability users.

　　This made Wang Zifeng feel that his revenge plan would be very difficult to carry out. The only consolation was that the letter had not been delivered to Li Chenzhou.

　　Wang Zifeng could imagine that the letter must be very important to Li Chenzhou, so his failure to obtain the letter and learn its contents would definitely cause him some losses, but this level of revenge was not satisfactory to Wang Zifeng.

　　Afterward, Wang Zifeng kept inquiring about Li Chenzhou's affairs. As an ability user, Jin Yuan and Hong Li naturally wanted to win him over, and Li Chenzhou's affairs were not worth keeping secret, so Wang Zifeng learned all the information they had about Li Chenzhou from Jin Yuan and Hong Li.

　　Realizing that Li Chenzhou didn't actually know of his existence, Jin Yuan decided to stay at this base. Anyway, all the bases nearby were built with the help of that guy's team; unless he left Qing City, it was the same no matter which base he was in!

　　Jin Yuan and Hong Li were naturally overjoyed that an ability user was willing to stay, so Wang Zifeng was immediately given important responsibilities. And since this guy had been in management before, he actually managed the base in an orderly manner.

　　Moreover, with Wang Zifeng's deliberate efforts, he quickly had his own small team in the base, but he did it so secretly that neither Jin Yuan nor Hong Li noticed.

　　Later, Wang Zifeng felt that the time was right, so he started to have his people quietly spread some rumors in the base, all of which were smearing Li Chenzhou and his team.

　　Because he knew a lot about Li Chenzhou's team, the dirt that Wang Zifeng threw at Li Chenzhou and his team was really dirty and difficult to clean up, because it was indeed well-founded!

　　The rumors said that Li Chenzhou and his team were actually working for a laboratory that specialized in genetic research, and that they were rescuing them in order to collect living material for that laboratory.

　　Therefore, they would return to the base in the future and imprison them, using their bodies for genetic experiments, and even turning them into zombies to extract the necessary genes to research how to make people stronger. The evolutionary agent that Li Chenzhou had taken out was the result of their research.

　　In fact, Wang Zifeng was indeed very scheming. Based on the fact that Jin Yuan and the others had received evolutionary agents, he came up with this rumor, and it was also easy to believe. After all, the evolutionary agent was indeed magical, and it was also connected to the so-called research institute!

　　When the rumor came out, there were many people in the base who questioned it, saying that Li Chenzhou had saved them after all, and they shouldn't think of their benefactor so badly.

　　Immediately, someone questioned, "There is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no hate for no reason. If there is no purpose, why would Li Chenzhou and his team bother to rescue people and help them build a base?"

　　Moreover, after the base was built, they turned around and left, without taking any benefits. Don't even mention the apocalypse; even before the apocalypse, you couldn't find such good people, right?

　　If Li Chenzhou and his team were simply rescuing them out of kindness, why would Duan Lei be so cruel, driving people away at every turn, and even killing people directly?

　　Birds of a feather flock together. Duan Lei is so cruel at such a young age. Would the other members of his team be kind people?

　　As soon as these questions were raised, the base was in chaos. Some people believed it, some people opposed it, and some people were skeptical, but no matter what, as soon as the rumors started, the reputation of Li Chenzhou and his team in this base began to plummet!

　　Subsequently, under Wang Zifeng's secret manipulation, more and more people began to believe the rumors, and Wang Zifeng's position in the base continued to rise. He even began to show a tendency to surpass Jin Yuan and Hong Li.

　　After all, Jin Yuan and Hong Li were the base leaders supported by Li Chenzhou's team, and after the rumors were believed by most of the survivors, the positions of these two people naturally became unstable.

　　Even if many people here knew that Jin Yuan and Hong Li were, like them, survivors rescued from the city by Li Chenzhou and his team, and were not following Li Chenzhou and his team from the beginning, they still suspected that they were working for Li Chenzhou.

　　Otherwise, why wouldn't they give evolutionary agents to others, only to you two?

　　In fact, many people here were envious and jealous. It was also Hong Li and Jin Yuan's fault for revealing the existence of the evolutionary agents, because they wanted to keep the mutated crystal cores so that they could exchange them for things with Li Chenzhou when he returned. Naturally, they had to let those survivors know why they were not using the mutated crystal cores to upgrade!

　　Thus, a week after Wang Zifeng entered the chemical plant base, the entire base changed. Jin Yuan and Hong Li lost control of the base, and Wang Zifeng became the true leader of the base.

　　Subsequently, Wang Zifeng suddenly launched a purge, arresting Jin Yuan and Hong Li, as well as all of their confidants, and imprisoning them in the dungeon that had been prepared long ago.

　　Wang Zifeng told Jin Yuan and Hong Li that if they wanted to be released, they should actively identify Li Chenzhou and tell everyone in the base that the previous rumors were true, and that they were also helping Li Chenzhou watch over these survivors...
