Chapter 258: Chapter 258: The Team And The Plan Chapter 258: Chapter 258: The Team And The Plan The room fell into a brief silence as Su Jiyai’s words sank in. The five leaders exchanged quick glances, processing the significance of the change. “Hope Base” — it was a name that evoked something different from the harsh reality they were used to. A glimmer of a future where survival wasn’t just about scraping by but about rebuilding something new. Ning Wei was the first to break the silence, nodding slightly. “Hope Base… It’s a strong name. I believe it fits.” The others, though still taken aback, slowly nodded in agreement. Fei Bao, the former military officer, folded his arms and spoke next. “Boss Su, we’re honored to serve. We’ll make sure the Hope Base stands strong against whatever comes our way.” Su Jiyai asked, “Now I want to know about your cultivation levels.” Ning Wei reported, “I am at level 7.” Then all of them reported the number 7 one by one. Su Jiyai was surprised, “System why is their cultivation so high?” Then she thought for a while and came up with a theory. The hardships they had endured outside her base — where food was scarce, and survival meant paying exorbitant prices — would have stunted their growth. But here, in Hope Base, where resources were plentiful and living conditions far better, their progress had surged. The system’s voice echoed in her mind. [Host, their cultivation is likely tied to the abundance of high-quality food and better living conditions in your base. The human body thrives when it’s not constantly in a state of deprivation.] Su Jiyai nodded inwardly. It wasn’t just the absence of struggle but the presence of stability that had accelerated their growth. Her base had become a sanctuary, not only from the horrors of the outside world but also a place where people could unlock their true potential. Then there was honey too. Su Jiyai was bit relieved. Compared to Crystal Cove which has only two level 7 experts, her 5 level 7 experts can easily overpower the higher authority of Crystal Cove. Thinking about the threat message, Su Jiyai said, “Recently I have received a threat message from Crystal Cove stating that they want to attack our base because of an individual.” The room grew tense at Su Jiyai’s revelation. The leaders’ eyes widened, and they instinctively straightened, ready for action. “A threat?” Ning Wei asked, his voice filled with concern. “Are they planning a full-scale attack, or is it just intimidation?” Su Jiyai leaned back in her chair, her expression unreadable. “It seems more than just intimidation. They mentioned an individual they’re after, but that individual is under my protection.” Ning Wei was the first to speak up, his voice calm but carrying a quiet fierceness. “Boss Su, if you’re planning to take the fight to them, we’re with you. We don’t need to wait for them to make the first move. Give us the word, and we’ll wipe out every corrupt authority in Crystal Cove.” Fei Bao, who had been a soldier long enough to recognize the importance of precision, nodded in agreement. “No innocent blood needs to be spilled. We can eliminate the ones causing the trouble—the higher-ups. The civilians there are just like us, trying to survive. They’re not our enemies.” Su Jiyai leaned forward, resting her hands on the table as she addressed them. “I agree. We’re not here to destroy Crystal Cove or harm innocent people. But the corruption in their leadership threatens not only their base but also our stability. If we wait, they’ll bring the fight to us, and innocent lives—both here and there—will be caught in the crossfire.” The tension in the room shifted as the leaders all nodded in agreement. Dong Juhua, the healer, spoke up next. “We can minimize casualties by focusing on the leadership. The fewer people involved, the better.” Nan Wurong, who had been quiet but attentive, added, “If we’re careful, we can neutralize their leaders without alerting the rest of their forces. I can use my space element to get us in and out of key areas quickly.” Su Jiyai’s gaze moved across each of their faces, reading their readiness. “That’s exactly what I want. We don’t need a large-scale assault. We need a precise strike that will take down the corrupt elements without causing unnecessary harm.” She straightened, her mind already calculating the next steps. “You all need to prepare your teams for war. But this won’t be a battle fought in the open. I’ll be going in first, alone. I’ll sneak into Crystal Cove, identify the corrupt individuals, and take down their names, you all will then assassinate those individuals while I will explore the base and see if anything can be looted.” Fei Bao, ever the tactician, spoke first, his voice calm yet commanding. “Understood, Boss Su. We’ll be ready to act as soon as you gather the intel. ” Ning Wei nodded in agreement, his usual stern expression softening slightly. “With Nan Wurong’s space element, we can move in and out without anyone knowing we were there. Once you give us the targets, it’ll be swift.” Nan Wurong gave a subtle nod. “I’ll prepare the escape routes and concealment. When the time comes, we’ll be able to move through their defenses without alerting the base. In and out, just like you said.” Su Jiyai leaned back in her chair, her mind already racing ahead to the infiltration. Crystal Cove had been a thorn in her side for long enough, and now it was time to remove it without burning down everything around it. Dong Juhua, spoke next, her voice softer but no less determined. “I’ll be ready to assist if there are any unforeseen injuries among our people. But I trust we can handle this without unnecessary bloodshed.” Su Jiyai appreciated Dong Juhua’s careful consideration. In situations like these, there was always an element of unpredictability. It was better to be prepared for all outcomes. Finally, Su Jiyai stood up, signaling the end of the discussion. “Alright you all can leave now.”
