It was raining heavily in the sky, and thunder and lightning were blowing outside.

Qi Shumo and Li Mingqiang sat in the off-road vehicle and embarked on the way back.

Li Mingqiang said to Qi Shumo while driving.

"When you go back this time, you have to tell Li Yan that there was an accident at the Xinshi base, and your teammates' families have been taken care of, so we don't dare to act rashly. Tian Zixin stayed over there and was responsible for observing the situation, and you brought me back, begging Li Yan to send some more people to pick it up, just in case. ”

Qi Shumo nodded.

Li Mingqiang said: "I will be by your side throughout the whole process this time, if you dare to make a move, not only the lives of your teammates' families, but also your lives, I will also take them as soon as possible!" ”

Then he reassured him: "Brother, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this matter is very important." Don't worry, when this matter is over, I will definitely treat you as a confidant and trust you wholeheartedly. When I become the leader of the base in the future, I will definitely not treat you badly. ”

"Thank you, Brother Qiang." Qi Shumo said gratefully.

Li Mingqiang smiled, a little unimpressed in his heart.

It's just a first-level ability, who is qualified to be his henchman.

The two drove all the way again, and finally arrived at the base.

The people in charge of guarding the gate at the base were all members of the patrol team, and when they saw that Li Mingqiang, the leader, was back, they immediately stepped forward to greet them.

Because of Tang Yan, the zombie buster, everyone will take the initiative to report for treatment if they are bitten by zombies, or if they are suspected of being bitten by zombies.

Therefore, there is no need to enter the base for a while, as long as you register, you can enter.

In addition, it is thundering and raining outside, and the officers on duty did not let Li Mingqiang and Qi Shumo get out of the car at all, but simply made a registration and let the two in.

The two went straight to Tang Yan's office and knocked on the door.

Tang Yan has been surrounded by miscellaneous things every day because of the sudden increase in affairs in the past few days, and he is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground. Just wait for Tian Zixin to come back and take a break by dealing with her and Ma Wenting's affairs.

Seeing the two of them coming in, he subconsciously asked, "Where is Tian Zixin?" Didn't you come with you to me? ”

Qi Shumo said in a deep voice.

"I'm sorry sir, but there's a spread over there at the Xinshi base."

"What's wrong?" Tang Yan subconsciously sat up straight and leaned forward.

"My teammates' families are being watched over by the people at the Newmarket base. Brother Li helped us assess the strength of both sides, and said that it was difficult to take people away quietly. So this time, Brother Li and I came back, and I would like to ask you to send a few teams of patrol people to help pick it up, just in case. ”

Tang Yan looked at Li Mingqiang.

Li Mingqiang nodded: "Qi Shumo is right, he really needs support." ”

Tang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he keenly felt that something seemed to be wrong.

In the first small world she crossed, she met some of the world's top strategists, and often dealt with those fox watchers who had become elites.

It is because of these experiences that Tang Yan's mind is extremely sharp, and many people's careful thinking can't escape her eyes.

After Li Mingqiang and Qi Shumo came in, the order of their speech was not quite right.

Under normal circumstances, Li Mingqiang is his own person and has to be trusted.

And I always want to dominate a lot of things, and I like to show my management ability in front of her, and I also like to win the hearts of my subordinates, and I am willing to take things in front of me.

It stands to reason that Qi Shumo's request should be said by Li Mingqiang.

And Li Mingqiang will not say the request, but just put forward the objective facts, and will listen to her instructions when the time comes.

In this way, he can not only show his ability, but also get Qi Shumo's gratitude, and fully respect himself, the leader of the base, killing multiple birds with one stone.

But the request just now came from the mouth of Qi Shumo, who stood weak in both strength and current status.

Li Mingqiang just spoke out to corroborate Qi Shumo's words.

Something isn't right!

Could it be that Li Mingqiang doesn't like Qi Shumo?

But if it's really not pleasing to the eye, he won't accompany Qi Shumo to find her.

Or is it that Li Mingqiang saw that she wanted to reuse Qi Shumo, so he asked Qi Shumo to say the request himself, owing her a big favor.

Immediately, Tang Yan denied this speculation in his heart.

A good strategist is not only about formulating a plan, but also about seeing through people's hearts.

Li Mingqiang will never let go of the opportunity to curry favor with his superiors and show favor to his subordinates.

Besides, Li Mingqiang is not the kind of top strategist, so he can't think of this kind of obscure thing to please her.

Even if he thought about it, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would understand.

Therefore, I will definitely not give up, and I will have the opportunity to give grace to the next at my fingertips. And the subtle flattery that can only be experienced by playing with oneself in this kind of heart-to-heart connection.

Li Mingqiang asked Qi Shumo to say this, most likely because of a weak heart.

Coupled with the fact that Tian Zixin, Tang Yan's most trusted person, was not here, Tang Yan had every reason to suspect that something was wrong with Li Mingqiang, but Qi Shumo was not sure.

Of course, many times, the top strategists think too much and ignore the most simple and straightforward emergencies.

For example, it may also be that Li Mingqiang has a hormonal imbalance these days, is in a bad mood, and is unwilling to maintain his usual slippery.

How things will be is not completely conclusive at this time.

However, she is more inclined to have a problem with Li Mingqiang.

Because of her busyness these days, a lot of it is caused by the patrol, maybe it is to make herself worry about other things.

And the patrol is under the control of Li Mingqiang.

When two coincidences come together, it is very likely that they are no longer coincidences.

Tang Yan analyzed a lot in his mind, but the reality was only a moment.

She nodded silently: "Okay, then let Li Dong and Li Bei each bring two patrol teams to support you?" ”

Li Mingqiang immediately retorted: "Li Dong and Li Bei are the second-in-command of the patrol. The two of them and I went out on a mission at the same time, for fear that the boys on the patrol would slacken. It's better for me to bring the people in my team, all of whom are acquaintances, and it's convenient to command. ”

Li Mingqiang said it reasonably, but Tang Yan sneered in his heart.

If two coincidences don't tell the whole story, but now there are three coincidences!

It is true that Li Dong and Li Bei are the second-in-command of the patrol, but later a few deputy captains were added. Li Dong and Li Bei have left, and there are three vice captains.

Worrying about the team slacking off is definitely!

It seems that Li Mingqiang wants to do something with his own people.

As for what to do?

Tang Yan had a lot of guesses in his heart, but he couldn't be sure what kind of situation it was, because there were too few known conditions.

Then the only way to lure the snake out of the hole is to lure it out.

She smiled kindly and said to Li Mingqiang: "Then trouble you!" When they bring back their relatives who are yellow haired, they will definitely give the patrol members who are on this mission a good day off. ”

Li Mingqiang smiled secretly in his heart.

Although there was a little wave, but with his wit, everything went very smoothly.

Now that he has Tang Yan's order, it is logical not to provoke others, so that his people are ready to go, and they are always ready!

This person was still complacent, but he didn't expect that because of a little weakness, he felt that it would be more convincing for Qi Shumo to plead, but he exposed himself.

The two prepared to leave.

Tang Yan spoke again.

"Qi Shumo, you will go to find Shu Rui in a while, she is worried about you for a long time."

Qi Shumo was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Tang Yan looked at the backs of the two leaving, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a touch.

Li Mingqiang must be wrong!

As for whether Qi Shumo is cooperating with Li Mingqiang or completely kept in the dark, we will see in a while!

Wait a minute!

Tang Yan's eyes widened suddenly.

Maybe it won't take long for her to find out, but now she'll know!

I saw that on the wooden table used by Tang Yan, there was a charred "X".

Tang Yan looked at it carefully.

It turned out to be burned with thunder and lightning.

She looked out the window at the thunderstorm.

It seems that Qi Shumo is using the thunder and lightning outside to cover up the fluctuations of the lightning system and leave a message for himself.

It's just that because of her lack of strength, she can't leave too much information, so she can only draw the simplest cross to cause her to leave a letter

Although it is only the simplest fork, it is a very critical information point, and she probably knows what Li Mingqiang is going to do!

Qi Shumo is obviously not in the same group as Li Mingqiang, but he has been cooperating with each other's actions.

The reason doesn't need to be thought about to know, Li Mingqiang hijacked the families of Tian Zixin and Qi Shumo's teammates and forced him to be obedient.

And Qi Shumo is likely to make a plan, obedient on the surface, but in fact, he transmits information to himself and asks for help at the same time.

is worthy of being a person who can be the male protagonist, both in character and judgment!

That's a bit of a stretch!

Back to reality, how could Li Mingqiang, as an outsider who sneaked into the Xinshi base, hold a group of family members of Qi Shumo's teammates hostage under the noses of others. also hijacked Tian Zixin, who is also a fourth-level ability, so that the other party couldn't speak.

It is obvious that behind Li Mingqiang is the Xinshi base.

And a base is calculating itself, nothing more than looking at its own abilities and the abilities of the entire base.

Thinking of Li Mingqiang again, he was going to the patrol team to gather his own people in the bright light.

It seems that this is to attack himself with the people of the Xinshi base.

Thinking of this, Tang Yan's expression turned cold.

The Xinshi base may value itself more as a person.

But for Li Mingqiang. What I definitely want more is to die by myself.

It is even said that he teamed up with the Xinshi base just to kill himself.

As soon as he died, his cultivation was cut off.

Li Mingqiang will be able to become the one with the fastest cultivation speed and the strongest strength among the people who know how to make offerings, and sooner or later he will become a human master!

But the other party is not so blindly arrogant that he thinks that he can kill himself, a "level 7 ability", by relying on the cooperation between the inside and the outside.

From this point of view, taking the risk of bringing Qi Shumo back should be to deal with himself through Qi Shurui.

Tang Yan felt that there might be many discrepancies in his guess, but it should be like this in general.

Li Mingqiang showed his feet prematurely, and it was very simple to take down the other party.

The challenge now is how to defend against the foreign enemy from the Shinshi base, and at the same time save those who have been held hostage.

Although for Tang Yan, it didn't matter to anyone other than Tian Zixin.

But I don't know how Qi Shumo temporarily won Li Mingqiang's trust, but it must not be easy in the middle, she can't live up to the other party's dedication.
