Global Flood: I Survive on Duckweed

Chapter 172: Chapter 149: Not Peach Blossom Spring, and They Don’t Believe It

”Dawn Base just won’t give up on their tricks! Are they trying to fool us into going to Peach Blossom Base again?”

”What’s surprising is that they actually admitted they were wrong!”

”Maybe they’re just admitting they were wrong to trick us into believing the coordinates they’ve provided this time!”

”Even if Dawn Base got on their knees and begged for forgiveness, I wouldn’t believe them!”

To back up his claims, the staff officer also produced the photos taken by the squad.

Although the photos were blurry, the outlines of the five huge ships were still visible.

”These are the photos our team took when we discovered Peach Blossom Base!” the staff officer announced.

”Pfft, yeah right. For all we know, those are just pictures of your own ships!”

”Yeah! Trying to fool us again? Fat chance!”

”I hate Dawn Base as much as the next guy, but to be fair, those aren’t Dawn Base’s ships in the photo! Dawn Base only has one ship that big!”

”Huh? It can’t really be Peach Blossom Base, can it?”

”Five large ships... no wonder Peach Blossom Base is so powerful!”

”I don’t think I’m too far from that location. I’m gonna go check it out!”

”Hey, to the guy above, Peach Blossom Base is incredibly strong. Be careful or you’ll get wiped out if you just head over there!”

”I’ll be fine. I’m sure the leaders of Peach Blossom Base aren’t that brutal. I just want to go over for a friendly exchange!”

”That’s right. If we know where Peach Blossom Base is, we can deliver any plants we find ourselves. It’ll save them the trouble of having to come out and buy them!”

”You all better not have any funny ideas!”

The Aircraft Carrier Base’s intelligence department also took note of the discussions on the regional channel and immediately reported the news to the three captains.

Wang Jun and the other two immediately started an online meeting.

”Do you think the news from Dawn Base is real?” Wang Jun asked, his brow furrowed.

”I’d say there’s an eighty to ninety percent chance it’s true. The coordinates they posted aren’t far from the Seventh-level Wind Sea Region they marked before,” Ji Yizhi analyzed. ”This means their initial intel was mostly correct. Their deduced location had some errors, but they still managed to find Peach Blossom Base by searching nearby!”

”If it’s true, should we send a team over directly?” Long Zhan asked directly.

Wang Jun immediately shook his head. ”Sending a team directly is out of the question. It would cause a misunderstanding!”

”They only have those five large ships. If other bases team up to attack them, it will be very dangerous. Shouldn’t we step in and help?” Long Zhan continued.

Wang Jun thought for a moment, then said, ”I’ll confirm with Peach Blossom Base first whether that location is actually theirs. If it’s not, then we don’t have to worry about it!”

Long Zhan paused, then nodded, completely agreeing. ”Good point.”

Ji Yizhi shook his head slightly. ”What Dawn Base found has to be Peach Blossom Base.”

Long Zhan glanced at him and said with a smile, ”You’re that certain?”

”I’m about eighty percent sure,” Ji Yizhi replied.

”Since you’re so confident, why don’t we make a bet? If that really is Peach Blossom Base, I’ll provide whatever assistance they need from my own resources. If it’s not, your share of our next trade with Peach Blossom Base is all mine. What do you say?” Long Zhan proposed.

Ji Yizhi curled his lip. ”You’ve got it all planned out, haven’t you? If you win, you get my share. If you lose, you get to build a better relationship with Peach Blossom Base. You can’t lose either way!”

”You can’t put it like that. Deploying troops for aid will cost me a lot, too. Think about it, that place is nearly a thousand kilometers away from us. The fuel consumption, plus the cost of weapons if a battle breaks out, is no small figure!” Long Zhan said, shaking his head.

”If I lose, I’ll give you half my share, not all of it!” Ji Yizhi said after a moment’s thought.

’He really didn’t want to use up his own fuel and weapons to help. Since Long Zhan was willing to take it all on himself, why not take the bet? In his opinion, what Dawn Base found had to be Peach Blossom Base. With its location exposed, Peach Blossom Base would surely need their help. Betting half of his share from the next trade with Long Zhan was a small risk; even if he lost, it wouldn’t be a major problem!’

”Look at how cheap you’re being. Fine, half a share! Old Wang, you’ll be our witness!” Long Zhan groused before agreeing.

Wang Jun replied with some exasperation, ”All right, I’ll contact Peach Blossom Base right now!”

He sent a message directly to Ren Yuanyang: ”Taoyuan Yang, are the coordinates Dawn Base posted on the regional channel the location of your Peach Blossom Base?”

Ren Yuanyang had just woken up from his afternoon nap when he received this message.

He was already a bit groggy from waking up, and Wang Jun’s message only made him more confused.

”Huh? Dawn Base posted our location again?” Ren Yuanyang replied, puzzled.

”Haven’t you been following the regional channel?” Wang Jun was a bit exasperated.

”I was just taking an afternoon nap. What kind of trouble are they stirring up on the regional channel now?” Ren Yuanyang explained.

Seeing Ren Yuanyang’s reply, a corner of Wang Jun’s mouth twitched. ’Is life at Peach Blossom Base really this leisurely? They even take afternoon naps?’

After a moment of silent amazement, Wang Jun forwarded all the messages from his intelligence department to Ren Yuanyang.

After reading the messages, Ren Yuanyang was stunned for a second. ”What a coincidence! So there really is a fleet at the edge of the Seventh-level Wind Sea Region?”

Just then, Qin Haonan also sent a message: ”Chief, Dawn Base found a fleet on the edge of our Seventh-level Wind Sea Region and mistook it for us!”
