Zuo Feng, however, didn't care, and sneered, "Chief Jun, why get angry? I'm just acting according to 'the rules of the City of Dreams that you mentioned.' Since the agents haven't been taken away by me yet, they're not mine. If I have someone send them back to Firefly Base, then they'll be mine, and that's not against the rules, is it?"
Since these four factions wanted to gang up on him at the negotiation table, he would just flip the table.
Furthermore, Zuo Feng was not sure if they were delaying for time. Although no one who came in had left, he couldn't be certain if Peerless Apocalypse and the Three Giants had reinforcements coming.
Now, he had to transfer the researchers, materials, and agents as quickly as possible, lest things change for the worse.
Mei Xue Ji, Hu Banshan, and Wan Youyu exchanged glances, all seeing solemnity in each other's eyes.
They knew that once Zuo Feng took the agent materials and researchers back to Firefly Base, it would be even harder to seize them.
"Chief Zuo, this move might not be appropriate, might it?" Wan Youyu feigned composure, trying to dissuade Zuo Feng.
"That's right, Chief Zuo, doing this is forcing us to tear off all pretenses." Hu Banshan echoed, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
Zuo Feng's smile grew wider: "What's inappropriate about it? I'm following the rules you changed. What, are you planning to change the rules again?"
In the distance, the roar of a truck engine sounded, and the convoy slowly started moving.
Zuo Feng sneered disdainfully, looking directly at the four people:
"Today, I must take all these people, data, and agents. You all can try to have your subordinates stop them; as long as they dare to act, I will kill them! At that time, I will also gather my forces and visit your strongholds. If any of you are confident enough to withstand the wrath of my Firefly Base, then by all means, stop us. Of course, you can also all come at once!"
Mei Xue Ji snorted coldly, her gaze sharp as a knife: "Chief Zuo, you are instigating an all-out war!"
"Stop them!"
Jun Wushuang roared, ordering the remaining six Mutants. The vehicles had already started moving slowly; if they weren't stopped now, once they left the courtyard gate, there would be no more opportunities.
"Whoever moves, dies!" Zuo Feng's tone was icy, every word filled with killing intent.
The six Mutants looked at each other, hesitating to advance.
The main reason was that the massive flowers of the 20 Devouring Flowers in front of them were already aimed directly at them. To stop the convoy, they first had to cross the Devouring Flower's defense line. Those were 20 terrifying plants that could devour and light up Six Lotus Seeds. There were only 6 of them. Even if they all had Level 7 weapons and could continuously cut down two or three Six Horizontal Bars zombies, there were 20 of those plants!
Even if they all performed exceptionally, each cutting down three plants, there would still be two remaining, which could completely slaughter them once their abilities were exhausted;
Moreover, as top-tier powerhouses who had lit up Six Lotus Seeds, they possessed endless glory, wealth, and power. It wasn't worth throwing away their lives for a moment of impulsiveness.
If you, Jun Wushuang, truly have the ability, then you go! Why make them go to their deaths?
Jun Wushuang's eyes widened in fury, but seeing the six Mutants motionless, he instantly realized his mistake. He knew he had been too impulsive this time.
That command just now was tantamount to sending his subordinates to their deaths. It was too late to retract the order now, and in the future, his subordinates would surely become disloyal, perhaps even making him a laughingstock.
The anger in his heart intensified, yet he could only watch helplessly as the convoy gradually moved further away, disappearing from sight.
Jun Wushuang took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the rage in his heart, and turned to look at Mei Xue Ji, Hu Banshan, and Wan Youyu: "Are you just going to let Zuo Feng be so arrogant?"
Zuo Feng interjected with a smile:
"Chief Jun is full of heroic spirit, if you can do it, then you go! Alas... it's really hard to be your subordinate. You don't dare to go yourself, but you send your subordinates to their deaths. You're certainly a relaxed chief."
Jun Wushuang's face was ashen, his teeth clenched. Zuo Feng's words were like a dagger to his heart, a mix of anger and humiliation, yet he had no way to refute.
He only had one way to prove himself, and that was to lead the charge, but he didn't dare.
As for the leaders of the Three Giants, each of them was a shrewd individual. Any talk of an alliance was useless; if even Jun Wushuang's people wouldn't go, they certainly wouldn't take the risk.
Mei Xue Ji said with a charming smile, "Chief Zuo's methods are indeed brilliant; this humble one is impressed. I concede this round, but Chief Zuo, you've already taken the big share, shouldn't you share some of the smaller share with us?"
Zuo Feng's eyes flashed, and he calmly replied, "I wonder what Chief Ji means by the smaller share?"
Mei Xue Ji chuckled, her eyes sparkling:
"Hehe, that would naturally be the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang and his subordinates. Our Luo Xia Alliance, Brothers Alliance, and Giant Tiger Alliance would like to take these people in. And we'd also like to sweep up the Wild Wolf Gang's supplies. I trust Chief Zuo wouldn't mind such a small request, would he?"
As soon as Mei Xue Ji finished speaking, a glint flashed in Wan Youyu's eyes. Hu Banshan was still somewhat confused and was about to ask, but was immediately stopped by Wan Youyu.
As for Jun Wushuang, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. The meat had already been eaten by Firefly, and he had no interest in the leftover scraps.
Zuo Feng gave Mei Xue Ji a meaningful look, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Chief Ji is truly astute. In that case, the Wild Wolf Gang's personnel and supplies are yours. Fox Yaorao, hand Wen Dizhi over to Chief Ji."
Zuo Feng couldn't help but admire Mei Xue Ji. He hadn't even thought of it at first. Although she had taken all the researchers, agents, equipment, and data;
But as the leader of a gang, it was impossible for Wen Dizhi not to have backups of such precious agents that could turn ordinary people into Mutants.
As long as Mei Xue Ji got the backup materials from Wen Dizhi, they all had their own research teams and would soon be able to produce the same agents. This way, they would not only make up for their losses but also enhance their own strength.
And being smart, she also knew that she couldn't take it all herself, so she pulled in the Giant Tiger Alliance and the Brothers Alliance, deliberately leaving out Jun Wushuang. It was clear she had a plan, and she had probably thought this move through long ago.
Mei Xue Ji took Wen Dizhi, a hint of triumph flashing in her eyes, and nodded slightly: "Thank you for your generosity, Chief Zuo. Our Luo Xia Alliance will not forget this favor."
Immediately, she no longer delayed, and together with Hu Banshan and Wan Youyu, led her subordinates to swiftly sweep through the Wild Wolf Gang's stronghold.
Their goal remained consistent: to extract the agent backup data from Wen Dizhi, and after finding it, to quickly withdraw before Jun Wushuang could react, securing this crucial data firmly in their hands.
Zuo Feng watched them leave. Although he saw through Fox Yaorao's purpose, he couldn't refuse such a proposal.
He had already obtained what he wanted; if he didn't give in at all, he would truly incur public wrath and appear greedy.
Rather than making too many enemies, it was better to do a favor.
Furthermore, Wen Dizhi's backup data might not be easily obtained, and Mei Xue Ji's move was also a big gamble.
After all, Peerless Apocalypse's strength was publicly recognized as top-tier in Dream City. Today, Jun Wushuang was so enraged that he lost his reason, which allowed Mei Xue Ji to exploit a loophole.
Once he calmed down, he would surely think of this point and probably wouldn't let the matter go easily.
Zuo Feng glanced at the ashen-faced Jun Wushuang with a smirk, and said faintly:
"Chief Jun, aren't you leaving yet? Now you're the only faction left. Aren't you afraid I'll keep all of you here?"
Jun Wushuang snorted coldly, a chilling glint in his eyes: "Chief Zuo, Peerless Apocalypse will remember today's events, and we will surely return the favor someday."
With that, he led his subordinates and turned to leave, his back resolute, and the tense atmosphere that filled the air instantly dissipated.
Zuo Feng watched Jun Wushuang leave, then commanded Mu Lingling to put away all the plants. He slowly turned and whispered to Fox Yaorao, "We shouldn't stay long either. Let's withdraw as soon as possible to avoid complications."
As for why Fox Yaorao didn't escort the researchers with Xiao Mi Tao, it was because Zuo Feng couldn't drive and needed a driver. Fox Yaorao, eager to prove herself, naturally volunteered for the task.
At this moment, Fox Yaorao's eyes gleamed with shock and excitement. That was Peerless Apocalypse and the Three Giants!
Firefly was actually powerful enough to directly suppress them; it was simply incredible!
Although Peerless Apocalypse and the Three Giants didn't bring all their main forces, this display of strength was enough to make her heart tremble.
Fox Yaorao was already impatient to go to Firefly Base to find out what kind of powerful foundation this mysterious organization truly possessed.
