Chapter 55 We Can't Just Sit and Wait

Longhai outpost.

Luo Peng's residence.

Luo Peng leaned on the sofa with a gloomy face, smoking a cigar, puffing out smoke, and saying nothing.

At this moment, sitting opposite Luo Peng was another corps commander of the Longhai outpost, Peng Zesheng. Peng Zesheng crossed his legs and said with a snort of laughter, "Dong Tiance is smart. He pushed all the responsibilities onto us."

The commanders' meeting was over. At the meeting, the new commander directly brought up the appearance of the beast general in the actual combat training ground, pointing the finger at the three legion commanders.

At this time, Dong Tiance jumped out and said that Peng Zesheng was responsible for capturing the beast soldiers in the actual combat training ground, and the reason why such a thing happened in the actual combat training ground was because someone obtained the intelligent authority of the actual combat training ground, and Luo Peng's key happened to be lost.

So any problems were all Luo Peng and Peng Zesheng’s problems and had nothing to do with Dong Tiance, so Dong Tiance himself distanced himself from them.

Dong Tiance’s meaning was very simple. If the commander had any problems, he could just go after Luo Peng and Peng Zesheng. He was innocent.

After hearing what Peng Zesheng said, Luo Peng took off the cigar from his mouth and said, "Why bother with Dong? He and we were not on the same boat from the beginning."

"For someone as timid as him, he is only worthy of getting by on more than 10,000 Alliance Coins a month."

Peng Zesheng said: "Forget it, let's not talk about him. What should we do now?"

"Although you have found an excuse to get away with it for now, judging from the look on that woman's face, the higher-ups must have really noticed something, otherwise they wouldn't have sent her, the War King, here, and..."

Having said this, Peng Zesheng hesitated to speak.

Luo Peng took a puff of his cigar and asked, "And what?"

Peng Zesheng frowned and thought for a while, "And I always feel like I've seen this woman somewhere..."

At this point, Peng Zesheng suddenly remembered and said, "I know where I have seen her. I met her once when I went to the Southeast Defense Command Post a year ago. She seemed to be Defense Chief Zhao's right-hand man."

Hearing this, Luo Peng was stunned for a moment, then said: "She is Defense Chief Zhao's person?"

Peng Zesheng said: "It is likely that it is."

Luo Peng laughed and said, "Defense Chief Zhao is a member of the Zhao family after all. She won't cause trouble for us, right? We are at least somewhat related to the Zhao family."

Peng Zesheng said: "It's hard to say. She is a member of the Zhao family on the surface, but she seems to have fallen out with the Zhao family in recent years, otherwise she would not have been transferred to the Southeast Defense Zone to serve as the Defense Minister."

"She is now enjoying the treatment of a vice-chairman. How many people in the defense zone can enjoy such treatment? With her vice-chairman level, she can easily become the inspector of a super-large base city."

After hearing what Peng Zesheng said, Luo Peng fell silent and just kept smoking his cigar.

For a moment, neither of the two people in the room spoke.

After a long while, Peng Zesheng finally spoke up: "Why don't we stop? We have made enough money. The higher-ups have noticed something. If we continue, no one knows what they will do."

Luo Peng took a deep puff of his cigar, then exhaled a cloud of smoke, sighed and said, "It's not so easy to stop now. There are still so many people in the alliance, and so many forces are waiting for us to provide them with soul-revitalizing substances. We have no way out. If we retreat, we will be doomed."

There are some businesses that they cannot do just because they want to. Once they are abandoned by some people in the alliance, they will die a more miserable death.

Although the top leaders of Fumo Mountain have sent people here, to be frank, this is also Fumo Mountain's business. There are still people in the alliance who will protect them. If they are scared at this time and say that they will quit in the future, then they will lose their value, and those people in the alliance will definitely abandon them directly. Hearing Luo Peng's words, Peng Zesheng fell into silence again. The two of them just sat there and didn't speak for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Peng's wrist rang, and Luo Peng immediately answered the call, "What's the matter?"

The person on the other end of the phone immediately reported: "Captain Luo, the captain of the 40th Investigation Team just received the mission to investigate the soul-boosting substance."

Hearing this, Luo Peng and Peng Zesheng were both stunned, and the expressions on their faces instantly became extremely serious. Luo Peng looked up at Peng Zesheng, and Peng Zesheng also looked at Luo Peng.

Peng Zesheng smiled and said, "It seems that our guess was correct. This Lu Ming is indeed a vanguard sent by the higher-ups. He is not investigating the ferocious beasts, but is about to start investigating the Longhai outpost base."

At this time, the person on the other end of the phone asked: "Captain Luo, should we cancel this mission? Or change this mission to a distribution mission?"

After all, this mission is quite sensitive. If Lu Ming really discovers something, it will not be a good thing for the entire Longhai outpost base.

If the task is cancelled, Lu Ming can only choose another task, or distribute the task, increase the level of the task, and directly transfer the task to other teams.

Luo Peng thought for a moment, then said to the soldier on the other end of the phone, "Let him answer."

If Lu Ming was intentionally not allowed to accept the mission, it would give people the impression that there was something fishy going on at the Longhai outpost base, so Lu Ming could not be prevented from accepting the mission.

Seeing what Luo Peng said, the soldier in charge of task assignment on the other end of the phone said nothing more, "I understand."

Luo Peng continued: "That's it."

Luo Peng then hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Peng put the cigar in his mouth again, took a deep puff and said, "The higher-ups are really anxious. They're already looking for evidence after only a few days."

Peng Zesheng said: "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to think of a way."

Luo Peng said: "The best way now is to tell our buyers that the goods have been affected, and ask them to find a way to transfer that woman away, and also get rid of Lu Ming, and ask them not to stay in the Longhai outpost."

Peng Zesheng thought about it and decided that this was indeed feasible.

Those people are still waiting for the soul-revitalizing substance. If they knew that the supply of the soul-revitalizing substance was affected, they would definitely find a way to put pressure on the Fumo Mountain Headquarters. At that time, the new Chief of Defense would have to give in and transfer that woman and Lu Ming back.

After figuring out what to do, Peng Zesheng and Luo Peng began to take action, and they spent the rest of the night on the phone.

……

Early the next morning, when Lu Ming woke up, he looked at the message Song You sent him. Song You had already selected fourteen people.

Then Lu Ming sent a message to the fifteen people except Song You, asking them to prepare for the mission in the next few days.

When an investigation team goes out on a mission, it cannot be completed in a day or two. Some investigation teams will be out for a month or even several months, so they need to be adequately prepared.

Of course, Lu Ming and his team took a D-level mission, and it was not very far away, so it would not take several months, but only a few days or a dozen days to return.
