Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 956 Tit for Tat
Similar scenes were unfolding in various corners of the base.

The next day, Secretary Chen received the latest physical examination data. He excitedly went to Yuan Lei's office, "Deputy Base Commander, you've been demoted!"

Inside the office, Yuan Lei sat facing a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his forties. The man was tall and imposing, exuding an aura of authority. Even just sitting there, he commanded respect.

"Oh, Commander Han, you're here too?" Secretary Chen asked, somewhat surprised. This man was the top leader of the Yanzhong Base, and also one of its high-ranking ability users.

Han Shanyue smiled. "Xiao Chen, what did you say? You've surrendered?"

"Oh, this is the latest health test report. As you can see, among the fifty samples we took, the viral activity in 40 samples has decreased." Secretary Chen quickly sent the report to the two leaders.

Yuan Lei was overjoyed and felt even more confident about what was about to happen. "Old Han, you don't have to worry anymore, right?"

Han Shanyue nodded. "I didn't expect Xiaxia to become so capable. Don't worry, I will protect Xiaxia. This time, I will not let them cause trouble no matter what."

“Those people need to be taught a lesson. Look, so many years have passed and there has been no progress whatsoever. Haven’t they thought of changing their approach? If this continues, our base might be destroyed by them.”

Yuan Lei sighed. When the Yanzhong Base was first established, it had a population of 200,000. Over the years, more and more people have died in the beast tides, starved to death, or mutated. Meanwhile, the birth rate has been getting lower and lower, and now there are less than 60,000 people left!
If we can't find a way out, humanity will perish.

"Don't worry!" Han Shanyue didn't say anything else and quietly started reading the report.

Secretary Chen was somewhat confused. What were these two leaders trying to say? And why were they both sitting here? Didn't they have any official business to attend to? Didn't they have any meetings to attend to?
A series of footsteps came from outside the corridor.

Han Shanyue looked towards the door. "They're here."

The next moment, more than a dozen fully armed defense team members rushed into the office, followed by Li Nan, the newly appointed Minister of Planting, who had been in office for only a few days, and the captain of the defense team.

“Former Deputy Base Chief, you have mishandled base resources without authorization. I have already reported this to the Base Development Federation… Huh? Base Chief Han, you’re here too?” Li Nan was taken aback when she saw Han Shanyue, and felt a moment of panic.

However, he quickly regained his composure. "Chief Han, it's great that you're here too. I have another document here waiting for your signature!"

"Yuan Lei, the Base Development Federation has passed a resolution that you are suspected of plundering base resources and endangering the base's development. You are now ordered to cooperate with the investigation." Li Nan waved his hand, and the two guards standing in front immediately walked to Yuan Lei's side, preparing to arrest him.

"Stop!" Han Shanyue waved his hand, freezing the two in place. "Li Nan, how come I didn't know the Federation had held a meeting?"

"Chief Han, the situation is urgent. The Federation held a meeting last night, and all members except you and Yuan Lei attended." Li Nan was sweating profusely.

They originally intended to act first and inform them later, catching them off guard.

"Really? Xiao Chen, tell this acting head of the planting department about the necessary conditions for the Federation to hold a meeting and pass a resolution." Han Shanyue was very angry. He had only been busy breaking through his ability level in the past two years and had neglected the management of the base. Now, he had actually caused such a mess.

"The Federation requires 95% of its members to attend its meetings, and the Federation president and vice presidents must also be present."

"For a resolution to pass, the approval rate must exceed 95%. The president and vice presidents of the federation must participate in the vote, and the president has veto power," Secretary Chen said loudly.

"Did you hear that?" Han Shanyue looked coldly at Li Nan. "Li Nan forged the Federation's resolution and persecuted the deputy base commander. As the base commander, I order the enforcement team to arrest Li Nan immediately!"

At this moment, several people in uniform entered the office and quickly subdued Li Nan.

Li Nan was shocked. "Base Commander, you can't protect Yuan Lei! Yuan Lei disposed of the base's resources without the Federation's approval. He completely disregards you, the Base Commander!"

Li Nan offered a ferocious excuse, making no mention of his illegal convening of the Federation. "Heh, when do you think I disposed of base resources without authorization?" Yuan Lei sneered.

"Hehe, the 80,000 jin of potatoes that Yuanmu Xia grew belong to the base. You don't think that just because she's your daughter, those potatoes are yours, do you?" Li Nan said greedily.

“Base Chief, Yuan Muxia has awakened a wood-type ability. According to the base’s regulations, all wood-type ability users are assigned to the training base, and all crops they grow belong to the base.” Li Nan looked at Han Shanyue, her eyes seeming to say, “If you’re so capable, then go ahead and protect Yuan Lei in front of everyone.”

Han Shanyue smiled. "Li Nan, you seem to have forgotten the phone call I made to you a few days ago?"

Li Nan certainly remembered, but at the time he only reluctantly agreed because of Han Shanyue's status.

“Base Commander, even if you have a close personal relationship with Yuan Lei, you cannot protect him unless you were also involved…”

"Insolence!" Han Shanyue's eyes were icy cold, and his oppressive aura enveloped Li Nan, who immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. "Who gave you the audacity to slander the base commander?"

Only then did Li Nan belatedly realize the terror in her eyes as she looked at Han Shanyue, stammering, "I didn't, I, I..."

"Hmph! See for yourself." Han Shanyue took out a document and threw it in Li Nan's face. "Regarding Yuan Muxia's reclamation of wasteland outside the city to grow vegetables, I and the leaders have long been aware of it and have specially approved the relevant authority for Yuan Muxia."

Li Nan looked down in disbelief. With this document, everything they had done was in vain, and he would be charged with illegally convening the federation and forging the federation's resolution.

“No, even if Yuanmu Xia can grow crops outside the base, the crops she grows still belong to the base,” Li Nan said hurriedly. He couldn’t afford to lose.

"Huh? What a lively scene!" A crisp voice rang out from outside the door, and then the protagonist of this matter—Yuanmu Xia, also known as Shi Jia—dragged two people who looked like mud into the office.

Shi Jia smiled at everyone, glanced at Li Nan who was being held down by law enforcement officers, and then let go, leaving two limp, mud-like people lying in front of Li Nan.

“Dad, Uncle Han, early this morning, a group of people broke into my greenhouse and said they wanted to arrest me,” Shi Jia said with a smile. “They called themselves a defense team and said they were acting on the orders of some federation.”

“I didn’t believe it, so I gave them a little lesson. But since it involves the Federation, I still came here specifically to ask about the situation.”

"I put so much effort into planting these crops, opening up a new path for our base, and then I sell the produce to the local residents at such a low price. Is this how the base repays me?"

Shi Jia was quite angry. She just wanted to develop agriculture quietly, but she was being harassed repeatedly. Previously, it was people like Fang Yanlei, whom she didn't get along with. Since it involved personal grudges, she didn't say anything. After all, the world is so big, and it's necessary to allow for idiots to exist.

But now it's the base officials who are holding her back, and she can't tolerate that.

"Xiaxia, are you alright?" Upon hearing this, Yuan Lei first looked his daughter up and down with concern. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that his daughter was not injured, but his daughter seemed very angry.

"Xiaxia, don't misunderstand. That so-called federation resolution was forged by Li Nan. It's not real. We all support you. What do you say, Brother Han?"

Han Shanyue nodded.

“Since it’s a forgery, then let’s execute the person who forged it.” Shi Jia glanced at Li Nan coldly.

"you dare!"

"Who dares to be so insolent here!" Footsteps echoed from outside the door.
