Chapter 93: Turn...Turned!

Lu Yong had no idea that Xia Zhongjie, who was beside him, had already been replaced by someone else. When Xiaozheng spoke these words, he didn't even blush.

After all, Lu Yong had already believed that Spy wouldn't come back. That Military Base was capable of killing Seventh Order Controllers, and he didn't believe that a Transcendent in the mid-Sixth Order could come back alive, no matter what means were used.

Saying such things was just a way to save face for himself.

The Xia Zhongjie who was playing the role of Spy immediately nodded and said, "Brother Yong is right. Our mission is basically complete. We can now return to Base City. As for him... it's all a matter of luck."

Xia Zhongjie was someone who normally liked to flatter others. Lu Yong didn't notice anything wrong with this statement.

Although it was a pity to lose Spy, Xia Zhongjie was at least a mid-Sixth Order Transcendent who could obtain resources from Base City. Lu Yong believed that he could reach the late-Sixth Order in a short time, and then he would be Lu Yong's right-hand man.

To control a Base City, it was not enough to just have strong power. One must also have their own forces, and Lu Yong clearly valued Xia Zhongjie's strength.

Currently, there were only two peak Sixth Order Transcendents in the entire Base City. When he became a Seventh Order Controller, besides that guy, Xia Zhongjie would be the strongest and fully qualified to follow him.

Thinking of this, Lu Yong couldn't help but say a few more words, "Brother Xia, as long as I become the Controller of Base City, the previous conditions still stand. I will also let you obtain the Miss of the Zhong family that you have always cared about. What do you think?"

The title "Brother Xia" was only used between close friends, and it was clear that Lu Yong needed to get closer to Xia Zhongjie.

Spy had already learned this news from Xia Zhongjie, and intentionally showed a hint of excitement, "Really? That's the Zhong family we're talking about. Will they..."

Before Spy could finish speaking, Lu Yong waved his hand as if he had already become the Controller, "The Zhong family is only ranked tenth. When the time comes, I will be the Controller. Do you think a mere tenth-ranked family dares to defy me?"

"Thank you, Brother Yong, no... Thank you, your Excellency, the Controller." Spy timely flattered Lu Yong, hitting him right in the heart and making him burst into laughter.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Lu Yong still didn't see anyone, so he turned around and said, "Let's go."

Seeing Lu Yong's appearance, Spy's mouth twitched with a hint of sarcasm. He was indeed a ruthless person, but no matter how clever he was, he couldn't beat a Commander.

Spy didn't speak and silently followed behind Lu Yong as they ran for a while. Suddenly, Lu Yong sensed the presence of other people around him and shouted loudly, "I am Lu Yong, a Sixth Order Transcendent from Wangchang City. Who's in front of me?"

"Brother Yong? It's me, Xiaozheng." A group of people walked out from behind some trees.

When Lu Yong realized that these people were his own men, he lowered his guard and asked, "How did you get here? Did some big shots send you to pick me up?"

"No, actually we came to monitor the movements of that Eighth Order Mutant Beast. Isn't that why you're here, Brother Yong?" Xiaozheng asked curiously.

Lu Yong suddenly remembered that their mission was top secret, and only the ten family heads knew about it. Xiaozheng was obviously not aware of it.

"You noticed it? We have received some intelligence and are preparing to return to report it. You can continue to monitor here," Lu Yong said, not having time to chat with these people. He had more important things to do.

Just as Lu Yong was about to leave, Xiaozheng suddenly widened his eyes and pointed in the distance, his voice trembling uncontrollably, "Yong... Yongge, it's... it's turned!"

Lu Yong was confused, what had turned?

"Speak properly, what's going on? You are a Fifth Order Transcendent, you should at least set a good example for your subordinates," Lu Yong scolded.

It was normal for him to scold a Fifth Order Transcendent with his strength. Normally, Xiaozheng would probably accept the scolding and bow his head, but his behavior this time was strange.

Xiaozheng tightly grasped Lu Yong's arm and pointed vigorously in the distance, his face turning red, and he couldn't even speak.

"Yongge, if I'm not mistaken, Xiaozheng should be referring to that," Spy said.

Lu Yong turned around strangely and saw a scene that made him stunned. The Eighth Order Mutant Beast, which should have gone towards the Military Base, had turned and was heading towards their direction. Their direction was Base City!

"What the hell, didn't Zhou Ran put the giant egg in the Military Base? Why is he coming towards us?" Lu Yong shouted at the time.

Zhou Ran was the name of the person Spy had previously played. He just didn't notice it, and when Xiaozheng and others heard this sentence, their expressions became strange.

"Yongge, did the Eighth Order Mutant Beast find out that the giant egg wasn't moving and knew that it couldn't escape, so it took the initiative to solve the three of us first? Zhou Ran didn't come over, I'm afraid..." Spy said softly.

Lu Yong's expression changed, Xia Zhongjie's words made some sense. He knew that the wisdom of the Eighth Order Mutant Beast was no less than that of humans. It wasn't surprising that it could think of this.

But this meant that their mission had failed!

If they were really targeted by the Eighth Order Mutant Beast, he believed that once the big shots found out, they would definitely throw him out to appease the anger of the Eighth Order Mutant Beast.

"Damn it!" Lu Yong was furious. It was so close, as long as the Eighth Order Mutant Beast destroyed the Military Base, he would have gotten everything. Why did it have to turn out like this?

In fact, Lu Yong didn't know that the reason why the Eighth Order Mutant Beast turned was because it sensed the giant egg's aura coming from him and Spy. Who else could it chase if not them?

The Eighth Order Mutant Beast coming towards Base City was a serious problem. Even if they had a Controller, they couldn't beat it, let alone now that they didn't have a Controller. How could they fight it?

"Yongge, let's hurry back and report this to the big shots. This is not something we can decide," Xiaozheng said anxiously.

Lu Yong was helpless, but it was the only option.

On the way, he kept thinking about how to deal with it. Once it was confirmed that the Eighth Order Mutant Beast was coming towards Base City, he was likely to be abandoned.

"No, I must come up with a solution." Lu Yong glanced at Xia Zhongjie next to him, his eyes flashing with a hint of coldness.

Spy silently followed, not speaking, but how could he not have noticed the look Lu Yong just gave him.

"Don't worry, you still have some use. When we get to Base City, hehe." Spy sneered inwardly.
