Chapter 222 Shen Zhaoning

Everything went smoothly for Lin Yao, and progress was in an orderly manner. However, the official base was like a pot of boiling water, and it exploded.

After Cheng Che and his companions returned, they spared no effort to publicize all the information about the Peninsula Base.

The peninsula base they described was very different from what Wang Wenhao had said before.

For a while, everyone was talking about it. Some people directly pointed out that Wang Wenhao was a liar, who accepted benefits from the Peninsula Base and therefore deceived people here;

Some people even cursed him harshly for having ulterior motives, and even told him to be careful that his ancestors would crawl out of the underground and take him away.

These remarks made Cheng Che so furious that he even swore to the sky in desperation.

However, some people were skeptical and repeatedly asked Cheng Che to confirm the authenticity of the matter.

Just like that, the news spread like wildfire, from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and finally reached the ears of the base commander Shen Zhaoning.

After Shen Zhaoning heard this, he quietly asked someone to call Cheng Che to his room. After closing the door, he asked softly, "Are the things you said about the Peninsula Base true?"

It was the first time that Cheng Che had such close contact with Shen Zhaoning. He was nervous and a little shy, and hurriedly said, "Base Commander, every word I said is absolutely true.

Their base is not like what Wang Wenhao described. The living standard there is more than a hundred times better than here.

Think about it, where else can people eat normal vegetables and meat? But the Peninsula Base can do it! Where else can people eat steamed buns? They still can!

If I hadn’t personally gone to rob the food from their base, I wouldn’t have believed that there was such a paradise in this apocalypse.”

Shen Zhaoning frowned slightly when he heard this, and his expression became serious: "You even went to steal other people's food? How could you do such a thing?"

Cheng Che then realized that he had spoken too quickly and let something slip. He scratched his head in embarrassment and laughed, "At first I thought what Wang Wenhao said was true, so I thought I was doing justice for the people.

Besides, I haven’t eaten much recently. If this continues, I’m afraid I’ll starve to death.”

After a pause, he continued, "However, the head of their base is really nice. Not only is he handsome, but he is also kind-hearted.

After listening to our explanation, not only did they not blame us, they gave us food and even instant noodles.”

As he spoke, Cheng Che carefully took out a small bag of instant noodles that he had not finished eating from his pocket, handed it to Shen Zhaoning, and said, "Look, how can this be fake? My life is probably not worth this bag of instant noodles now. How can he be a bad person if he can give this to us?"

After hearing Cheng Che's words, Shen Zhaoning felt a sharp pain in his heart.

She couldn't help but wonder why someone else's private base could be run so well, while the official base she managed had fallen to such a state. For a moment, she began to doubt herself deeply.

Cheng Che looked at Shen Zhaoning's expression and said carefully, "Base Commander, I know you have put in a lot of effort for us, and in order to gain benefits for us, you have suffered a lot from Wang Wenhao and his gang.

We will always remember everything you have done for us.

But we also desire to live a better life. We don’t ask for anything else, just to eat a little better.

In two days, I plan to join the Peninsula Base."

After saying this, he lowered his head with a hint of guilt.

Shen Zhaoning sighed softly and said, "I failed to let you live a good life. It is my fault as the base commander. You want to leave, I completely understand, and I won't make it difficult for you."

Cheng Che suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and he raised his head abruptly and said to Shen Zhaoning excitedly: "Base Commander, you should also join the Peninsula Base with us!

With your ability, you will definitely be able to find a position at the Peninsula Base, which is better than fighting with those bastards here."

When Shen Zhaoning heard Cheng Che's words, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but soon dimmed. He shook his head helplessly and said, "Things are not as simple as you think. Okay, I already understand the situation. If you want to go to the Peninsula Base, go ahead. I won't stop you."

Just as she finished speaking, her stomach growled at the right moment.

After hearing this, Cheng Che stuffed the half bag of instant noodles in his hand into Shen Zhaoning's hand without hesitation, then turned and left.

As soon as Cheng Che left, a woman came in with two children.

This person is Li Ci, the wife of Jia Deming, the official military chief of the base, and her two children.

Li Ci said, “Zhao Ning, I heard everything you said just now.

Are you really not considering going to the Peninsula Base together? I have completely seen through Jia Deming.

Let's go to the Peninsula Base together and stay away from such disgusting people."

Shen Zhaoning looked solemn and said slowly: "Alas, Cheng Che doesn't understand, don't you understand yet?

The central government distributes materials based on the number of people reported by our base.

Otherwise, why would that group of people spread the word about how bad the Peninsula base is?

If I leave, I'm afraid that almost everyone in the base will follow me. In this way, not only will the allocated materials be greatly reduced, but they may also lose their current positions.

By then, they will inevitably become desperate and do something extreme, and the people who will be hurt will be the ordinary people in the base."

Li Ci sighed helplessly and said, "Is there really no other way?"

Shen Zhaoning shook his head helplessly again and said, "At the moment, there is really no better way."

Li Ci said, "Why don't we go talk to the commander of the Peninsula Base? Maybe he has a solution.

He asked Cheng Che and his team to come back to promote the group, and he must be hoping that more people will join their base. Although I am skeptical about Cheng Che's words, I think we will definitely not be worse off than we are now if we go there."

After listening to Li Ci's words, Shen Zhaoning was silently thinking about the feasibility of this method.

The two little ones stared at the instant noodles in Shen Zhaoning's hand and drooled. When Shen Zhaoning saw it, he bent down, gently handed it to the two children, and said, "Eat it quickly."

The next day, Lin Yao and his group drove towards the official base.

He did not lead the army of the base this time. He just wanted to meet the base commander mentioned by Cheng Che. If the base could be merged through negotiation, it would undoubtedly be the most ideal result for him.

If negotiations fail to reach a consensus, the only option is to resort to force.

Not long after Lin Yao and his companions' car left, an aircraft carrier slowly approached Qing City.

A gray-haired old man dressed in Chinese military uniform walked steadily down from the aircraft carrier and headed straight towards Lin Yao's peninsula base.

The old man's every move revealed his majesty. Behind him followed several middle-aged men in military uniforms, who also had extraordinary auras.

The old man walking in front was Lin Xiao’s grandfather Xiao Jingyue, who had just separated from Lin Yao and his friends to go on a cruise not long ago.
