Chapter 240 - 231: Revenge on Taihe Group

Chapter 240: Chapter 231: Revenge on Taihe Group

Mengde and Gao Lan could heal people with severe injuries like Gao Qiang’s.

But they didn’t possess some heaven-defying power to bring the dead back to life.

There was nothing they could do for the Superpower Users from Gao’s Base who were already dead.

Looking at the bodies of the fallen Superpower Users from Gao’s Base scattered around them, Gao Qiang was overwhelmed with grief.

It was his own disastrous decision that had led all of his brothers to die here!

His heart ached!!! He was filled with sorrow!!!

But it also solidified his resolve!!!

"Big Brother, what’s our next move?"

Gao Qiang’s voice rang out, cold as ice.

"Revenge!!!"

Revenge? Naturally, it meant taking revenge on the Taihe Group, which had orchestrated this whole thing!

Especially against his so-called godfather, Chen Tai!!!

And since they had decided on revenge, and these two were his potential brothers-in-law, there was no reason for Mengde not to help.

Hearing that Mengde was willing to help, the two Gao brothers were naturally overcome with gratitude!

Gao’s Base had suffered so many casualties that only a few dozen Superpower Users were left.

Attacking Taihe Base would be quite difficult.

But now, with Brother Mengde’s help, things were completely different.

No, it was a sure thing!!!

"Brother Mengde, thank you!"

At the same time, Gao Qiang had also just learned something.

The reason Mengde had appeared in time to save him and his brother was entirely because of their sister.

Of course, Gao Qiang could also tell.

’Mengde is interested in my sister, Xiaolan!’

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have traveled all the way from the West District to save them in the middle of the apocalypse.

But this didn’t diminish his favorable impression of Mengde.

Putting everything else aside, the simple fact that Mengde had saved his sister was enough to make him grateful to the point of tears.

What could he do? He and his brother were both insanely overprotective of their sister!

"Don’t mention it, Brother Qiang!"

Although Mengde had let "brother-in-law" slip before Gao Lan arrived, with Gao Lan herself present, he had to be mindful of the cool beauty’s pride.

’If she gets embarrassed and runs off, where am I going to get a taste of that meat?!’

While the two were talking, they had both arrived at their vehicles.

When it came to cutting the weeds and pulling out the roots, the sooner the better.

Mengde had come in an RV, so naturally, he headed for his own vehicle.

But to his surprise, he had just stepped into the RV when a woman followed right behind him.

He took a look—it was the elegant Gao Lan.

Looking at the normally composed woman, who now seemed a bit shy, Mengde felt like he understood something.

A faint smile touched the corners of his lips...

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. The Goddess Gao Lan’s Affinity for you has increased by 5!]

[Current Affinity: 85!]

Outside the RV, Gao Sheng, who had been about to call his sister over to his own SUV, was stopped by his older brother.

"Xiaosheng! Don’t call her!"

"Just let your sister go!"

"Don’t you get it yet? Your sister’s all grown up!"

"She has her own ideas now. We can’t keep her tied down!"

"Haha!"

As expected of a leader, Gao Qiang saw things with perfect clarity.

With a soft chuckle, the convoy set off toward the Taihe Group...

***

The Taihe Group was located on the eastern side of the South District.

Unlike Gao’s Base, although the Taihe Group bore the name of a corporation, it wasn’t actually based in its original corporate headquarters.

Instead, they had occupied an employee dormitory building behind the company offices to use as their base.

There were several reasons for this. For one, the dormitory building was located just a short distance from the group’s main offices.

Its location was excellent!

Behind the dormitory, there was also one of the group’s warehouses.

This was where the corporation had previously stored temporary supplies.

The materials stored inside were quite abundant.

While it couldn’t compare to Gao’s Base, it was more than enough to feed the people at their own base for some time.

Moreover, the dormitory building was fully equipped with facilities.

Nearby, there were also many supporting shopping malls and supermarkets!

This made it convenient to scavenge for supplies!

Most importantly, the dormitory building was also very close to the Dongcheng District...

Inside the Taihe Group’s base at this moment, the chairman of the Taihe Group, Chen Tai, was chatting with another man.

"Vice President Fang, my Taihe Group was only able to successfully take over the entire South District thanks to the help of your Hengsheng Base."

As Chen Tai spoke, he half-rose from his seat, holding a glass of wine with an extremely respectful attitude.

His deeply wrinkled face crinkled into an obsequious smile.

Once a business tycoon who dominated the South District, the man, now over sixty, was being humble to the extreme.

His expression was one of pure sycophancy.

Seeing this, a flash of disdain and a cold sneer crossed the eyes of the man across from him, Vice President Fang.

"Hahaha! It was nothing."

"Helping Chairman Chen unify the South District was part of the agreement between my Hengsheng Base and you, wasn’t it?"

Although Vice President Fang’s words were polite, he remained seated, merely tapping his glass lightly against the one Chen Tai offered.

He made no move to stand up whatsoever.

Even in the face of such arrogant behavior, Chen Tai didn’t dare to show the slightest hint of dissatisfaction.

The reason was simple.

Just as he’d said, they were able to launch a surprise attack on Gao’s Base.

On the surface, it appeared to be a plot hatched by him and Dayong Base, something they had been planning for a while.

As Gao Qiang’s godfather, he naturally knew that Gao Lan was Gao Qiang’s sister.

So from the very beginning, they had decided on a plan: use Gao Lan to lure Gao Qiang into their encirclement.

The strategy was to then encircle and annihilate the entire Gao’s Base.

But in reality, his Taihe Group had the backing of Hengsheng Base from the Dongcheng District.

And in a sense, this strategy had been devised by Hengsheng Base—or rather, by the man sitting in front of him, Vice President Fang.

The Taihe Group had merely been the ones to carry it out.

Before the apocalypse, Hengsheng Base had been a logistics company in the Dongcheng District.
