After Apocalypse, I Got Rich With Superpower
Chapter 127 - 125: Revenge

Chapter 127: Chapter 125: Revenge

After finishing the treatment of the patients at Snow Mountain Base, it was time for them to head home. The journey back was smooth.

Once back at the base, everyone first went to meet the Base Commander.

"You’ve returned, it’s been tough. Qian Xi and Liu Hu, Pan’er stays, the rest of you go rest, I’m giving you a three-day holiday,"

"Alright then."

Everyone dispersed.

Only Qian Xi’s group of three remained in the office.

"Boss, you brought back the person, did you interrogate him?"

"I interrogated him, the clues point to the Zhang Family, but there are shadows of other families behind them too. We don’t have solid evidence; can we really not do anything to them?"

The Base Commander frowned, visibly unhappy.

"Just let it go, on what basis?"

Liu Hu, angry, kicked a stool.

"Of course we can’t let it go, let me think about how to teach them a lesson. Just letting them off isn’t right."

The Base Commander was annoyed by their wrongdoing too, but their district contributed financially and provided food to the base annually, accounting for a significant portion, including some Crystal Cores.

If not for the substantial amount they gave, they would have been driven away long ago.

There were many things the Base Commander couldn’t do due to his position.

"Since it’s inconvenient for you, I’ll settle it myself."

Li Pan was getting angry. Just because they gave a lot, they think they can act recklessly without evidence and remain beyond the law, by what right.

"What are you planning to do, don’t act recklessly. I’ll definitely settle this for you."

"No need, I’ll handle it myself. Just pretend you don’t know, I’ll be reckless this time."

"Fine, as long as it doesn’t lead to a major incident, I’ll cover for you in the rest."

"They are in building eight of Jiayuan District in Zone 13, a small villa there,"

Qian Xi whispered, providing the information.

"I’m leaving now."

Li Pan turned and left the office.

After she left, the Base Commander, full of anger, pounded the desk.

"It’s embarrassing, if I had evidence, I would’ve arrested them already, it’s infuriating that I can’t touch them."

"It’s a bit unfair to Pan’er. Just let them get away with it?"

"No, I need to gather their evidence, behind them is a force combined with several bases, not just one. These people are like a cancer; we can’t make a big move right now. The order from above is to thoroughly investigate and eliminate them wholly."

"Wouldn’t Pan’er inadvertently alert them?"

"No, a little shock might allow us to see even more. The child has been wronged; letting off some steam is good."

The Base Commander hoped that Li Pan might stir things up so he could understand clearer what these people had in reserve.

"Then I’ll go protect Pan’er, sister."

"Right, send a few capable people to protect Li Pan. We need to increase patrolling near the farm, and ensure the farm is well protected; that’s our backbone. Our livelihood is at her farm."

"I understand, I’ll patrol."

"Notify Jianzhong and Jiao Ming about monitoring the movements of the farm staff to keep spies and thieves from infiltrating and pay attention to internal security."

"I’ve noted that."

Li Pan didn’t return to the farm but went to Zone 13 alone.

The Base Commander knew her capabilities, so he wasn’t too worried about her.

Upon arriving in Zone 13, the district Qian Xi mentioned had a controlled access system, not just anyone could enter; she had to contact someone inside and get approval to enter.

After a round, she felt there was no need to make contact. She didn’t know whom to approach. The Zhang Family was a clan, not just one person. The decision to attack her was made by the whole family, not by any individual.

So, it was time for a direct approach; she went to a shop by the entrance, bought a bottle of water, asked for the directions to building eight, and verified its position.

The Zhang Family occupied four villas in this district, and it was said that other bases also accommodated their members, some not living in the same city.

Alright, since I’m here, I have to teach you a lesson; otherwise, you might think I’m an easy target.

Li Pan left Zone 13 and returned to the regular area, a five-minute walk from Zone 13. There was a park there where people typically gathered to cool off.

It was too hot; hardly anyone was around.

With a wave of her hand, she summoned the Star Tree, planting it in a tree pit.

Li Pan touched the Star Tree, "Kong Kong, they’re bullying us, let’s go get some justice."

The Star Tree swayed its vines, shaking its head and wagging its tail, and wrapped a vine around Li Pan’s waist, lifting her into mid-air.

The Star Tree began to grow infinitely taller, and its vines became more and more numerous.

Li Pan was carried aloft by the Star Tree over the district where the Zhang Family lived in Zone 13.

"Over there on the left."

Li Pan pointed her hand, and the vines immediately changed direction, carrying her above the Zhang Family’s villas.

"Zhang Family, come out, I am Li Pan,"

she called out loudly.

With a movement of her hands, the vines started to grow endlessly, completely enveloping the four villas below with dense, matted vines.

This spectacle drew many residents out to see what was happening; everyone kept their distance, forming a wide circle around the area. Those living nearby had already come out of their homes and, seeing the situation, were terrified and fled in a panic.

"Zhang Family, come out!"

Li Pan called out again, her vines waving in the air, creating a whooshing sound as they whipped heavily onto the stone-paved road, causing an explosive noise.

"What’s going on here?"

"Who is that?"

"She said her name is Li Pan, does anyone know her, how did she get in?"

"This is the Wood Element, isn’t it? Isn’t this a bit too excessive, is she high-level?"

Fearless residents stood far away to observe and couldn’t help but inquire about the cause and consequences.

"I don’t know."

"Oh, I remember now, she might be the farmer from Panpan Farm, our supermarket often sells her products which are gentle in energy and very good for conditioning the body..."

"Oh yes, I remember now, what happened, does she have a feud with the Zhang Family?"

"It must be that the Zhang Family wanted to control her, failed to do so and ended up provoking her. I heard she’s an orphan raised by the Base Commander, how could she have run off with the Zhang Family?"

"The Zhang Family has great influence, and their increasingly overbearing and arrogant actions are offending people left and right."

"Exactly, the Zhang Family has grown more and more arrogant and offensive over the years, really becoming despised."

"Look, she’s making a move."

"My God, the Wood Element is this powerful?"

"It must be her that’s powerful, not all Wood Elements are as formidable as she is."

Li Pan instructed the vines to break through the windows, binding all the people inside the four houses who were pretending to be dead and dared not come out.

"Are you people from the Zhang Family?"

"Not answering? Well, I don’t care, killing the wrong people isn’t a big deal, it’s your bad luck."

"Yes, they are from the Zhang Family,"

an observer from the crowd promptly interjected.

"Thanks. Those who are not involved, please keep your distance, don’t get hurt."

Li Pan turned her head and said to the crowd.

"Do you have a feud with them?"

"I didn’t initially, but I don’t want to be associated with their family. They sent a high-level superpower user to kill me, and now that person is being held at the base. I am here to seek justice for myself,"

she replied.

"Good grief..."

The person was left speechless.

"It wasn’t us, let me go, Cao Ni Ma, once my family gets back, you’re dead,"

said one of several people suspended in mid-air, a boy of about eighteen or nineteen, obviously a superpower user with an arrogant demeanor.

"Is that so, Mid-level Fire Power user. Pretty impressive but soon you won’t be a superpower user anymore,"

Li Pan said, with a faint smile on her lips and a cold look in her eyes.

The vines directly penetrated his abdomen, devouring his Spirit Core.

"Ah!"

The boy screamed in agony.

The Spirit Core is crucial for awakening superpowers; without it, not only is the superpower gone, but he would also end up worse off than an ordinary person.
