“Director Gao, what are you doing? I'm from Jin City! That Lord is just an outsider!”

Xiao Cheng struggled and shouted,

“Now that the Lord is outside, we can completely take this fortress. With this fortress, we will be safe in the future. If we don't do this, that person will always be above us. Think carefully!”

“How could Jin City have someone as foolish as you?”

Director Gao shook his head and said,

“The City Lord said long ago that everyone should remain calm at all times, but it seems that you have been blinded by greed!”

Then, he looked at the others and asked,

“Among you, does anyone think his idea is worth trying?”

The others shook their heads together.

“Very good, it seems that my subordinates are not all ungrateful!”

Director Gao nodded, then looked at Xiao Cheng:

“Xiao Cheng, from a moral point of view, the Lord appeared when our base was in its most difficult time, giving us a safe space to survive. Even if we don't have the ability to repay him now, we should at least be grateful!

And from a realistic point of view, you want to seize control of this war fortress while the Lord is not in it. Do you think you can succeed?

The Lord said before that he didn't give me high authority because we haven't gained his trust yet. Can't you tell from this that the highest authority of this fortress is with him?

Whether he's here or not, we have no way of taking this fortress. His authority over the intelligent AI must be the highest. Even if you can control the fortress, it will definitely not be manipulated by you when you want it to attack him!”

Saying that, Director Gao frowned and looked at Xiao Cheng carefully:

“Xiao Cheng, you're not that stupid, so there must be a reason for what you said before, right?”

“Yes! Director, I'm sorry, I was too greedy. Like you said, I was blinded by greed, I'm sorry! Forgive me, Director, I promise it won't happen again!”

Xiao Cheng quickly admitted his mistake and even started crying.

Director Gao still frowned and looked at Xiao Cheng, shaking his head gently:

“That's not right! You've been working under me for six years, I know you, you're not the kind of greedy person, and even if you did become greedy because of the apocalypse, you couldn't have not thought of what I said before!”

Saying that, Director Gao suddenly thought of something, he sighed softly and said:

“Xiao Cheng! Your brother… isn't dead, is he?”

Hearing Director Gao's words, Xiao Cheng's body trembled, and a look of panic appeared in his eyes.

Seeing Xiao Cheng's reaction, Director Gao knew he was right, he shook his head and said:

“It seems that people from that base captured your brother, right? What do they want you to do?”

“Director! I'm sorry!”

Xiao Cheng suddenly broke down, he knelt on the ground with a thud and said, crying:

“I didn't want to betray you or the City Lord, but they captured my brother, and then told me that they wouldn't hurt him for now since he was in their hands.

Moreover, they will only release my brother after they have completely occupied our base, and the treatment my brother and I will receive in their base in the future will depend on how much I contribute to their attack on our base this time!”

“So, it's not that you didn't think we would fail to seize the fortress, it's just that after seeing us enter this war fortress, you felt that those guys could no longer capture our base, so you wanted to sabotage the relationship between us and the Lord, to make us betray the Lord and be driven out after the failure?”

Director Gao understood and nodded:

“Have you thought about it? If we were really moved by you and tried to control this war fortress, how would the Lord deal with us? Just drive us out? You're thinking too beautifully!

I'm telling you, if we really take action, then… we will all die. The Lord seems kind, that's because he and us are at least allies now, but once we become enemies, he will definitely not be soft-hearted!

Xiao Cheng, if your plan really succeeds, you will kill all of us, maybe even those in the small world! Use so many lives just to get your brother back?”

“But he's my brother! He brought me up since I was a child, and he saved me more than once in the apocalypse. If it weren't for my brother, I would have died long ago!”

Xiao Cheng cried:

“Director, you can do anything to me, you can even kill me now, I have no complaints, but I beg you, save my brother, it's all my fault, it has nothing to do with my brother, he entered the city to collect resources for our base, and was eventually captured by those people! He doesn't know what I did at all!”

“Xiao Cheng! The City Lord has repeatedly told us that we must be calm when we encounter problems and do our best to deal with them, but… you still haven't learned! Otherwise, how could it have become like this?”

Director Gao shook his head and said:

“If you had told us that your brother was captured and you were threatened before you said those things, we could still think about how to rescue your brother, even the Lord could help. With his help, rescuing your brother would not be difficult!

Unfortunately, you made the wrong choice, and now I can't help you. For the sake of our past relationship, you can leave, you can try to rescue your brother! You can also escape far away, start over in another base, from now on, you and us, will have nothing to do with each other!”

Hearing Director Gao's words, Xiao Cheng was stunned, and then begged bitterly again, but Director Gao was determined and refused to let go! Two of Director Gao's other subordinates seemed to want to help Xiao Cheng plead for mercy, after all, they were friends who had worked together for many years.

But just as they were about to speak, they were pulled by the people around them, who shook their heads gently at them, stopping them.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Cheng had no choice but to get up crying, looked at his brothers, and then at Director Gao, and finally nodded to Director Gao:

“Okay, Director, I'll go! Send me out!”

The war fortress does not have a real entrance or exit. The entrance is just a teleportation hall at the bottom of the fortress. After that, you need to rely on teleportation to go anywhere.

Therefore, it is basically impossible to break through the fortress from the inside, because first of all, you need a certain level of authority. For example, Xiao Cheng now, if Director Gao does not want to let him go, he simply cannot leave the fortress!

Director Gao didn't want to make things difficult for him anymore, so he called Xiao Wang and asked it to teleport Xiao Cheng outside the fortress.

But what Director Gao didn't expect was that this teleportation failed…
