Chapter 718: 384 Check in!_2

Originally, if Ji Chengtian had fallen, these people were the most likely to become the leaders of the base, but with the arrival of the Hope Battle Group, the situation had changed. Luo Ding and the others were already aware of the strength of the Hope Battle Group, so even though the group was only a quarter of their size, they dared not contend with the Hope Battle Group for control of the base.

Fortunately, they all saw that Bai Zhengli was more honorable, not the cunning and petty character like Ji Chengtian, so following him was not bad. As long as they did no evil, they didn’t have to worry about being purged, making everyone relatively relaxed, unlike Ji Chengtian’s subordinates who were always trembling with fear.

With these people not competing, the remaining smaller forces were even less likely to oppose the Hope Battle Group. Thus, the Hope Battle Group easily took over control of the Chengtian Base. However, though the matter was settled, controlling such a large base required the placement of many people and the replacement of some existing ones.

At the same time, some of the base’s unsatisfactory rules had to be changed, new rules established. So there was a lot to be done. Not to mention, the Hope Battle Group had nearly five thousand people, and accommodations had to be found for them.

Luo Ding and the others saw that the Hope Battle Group would be very busy with upcoming tasks, so they hesitated briefly before willingly vacating some places to facilitate the Hope Battle Group in settling down. Furthermore, the City Lord Mansion where Ji Chengtian lived was lavishly decorated, being a large villa.

This place was originally a luxury mansion prepared by a real estate tycoon for himself, so it was particularly large and even came with a sizable garden. Initially, the garden was full of plants, but unfortunately, many plants didn’t survive the apocalypse, either dying or barely clinging to life. Now, the garden was newly planted by Wood Element superpower users. Ji Chengtian, loving luxury, had directly arranged for a Wood Element superpower user to work as a gardener, so the garden still looked beautiful, vibrant with flowers and thriving plants.

Bai Zhengli was the squad leader of the Hope Battle Group, and naturally, he became the leader of the base after taking control. Thus, he was entitled to move in. He hesitated at first, disdainful of the fact that Ji Chengtian had lived there, but still decided to move in. Not for any other reason but because the place was large enough to accommodate himself and the Fang Family.

The villa consisted of three separate buildings, arranged in a T-shape. The Bai Family and Fang Family could occupy one each, with the remaining one serving as a place for regular meetings and office work, which was quite suitable. However, the interior decoration was too luxurious, not to his taste.

Bai Zhengli mentioned to Fang Jintang about moving in, and being the deputy squad leader, and with both he and Qu Qianhe’s strength equivalent to that of Third-level Peak, and parents of Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang, there was naturally no issue in staying in what was so-called the City Lord Mansion. Others could find no fault in this.

However, the Fang Family also found the interior decoration distasteful. Shui Rou, also disliking the décor, suggested to redecorate with Qu Qianhe. Meanwhile, Bai Zhengli and Fang Jintang, the squad leader and deputy, naturally had to busy themselves with base matters. Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang were also conscripted to help.

Since Fang Yuxin was a girl, others didn’t want to tire her out excessively, so they left her behind to manage the redecoration along with Qu Qianhe and Shui Rou. The Chengtian Base was quite large, making it not difficult to find interior decoration materials as everyone had hoarded usable supplies when gathering resources in the past.

As they were planning to look for materials, Meng Ping sent someone with a complete set, even including some flower seeds for decorating the garden. Before they arrived, the other residents of the place had heard about the change of power and moved out hurriedly. These people were wise, realizing that once Ji Chengtian fell, the City Lord Mansion would definitely change masters. Hearing that the newcomers were tough to deal with and had quite a bad relationship with Ji Chengtian, they feared being implicated and dared not stay any longer, hurrying away without even daring to take much with them. This included the Wood Element superpower user who took care of the garden for Ji Chengtian.

With the materials on hand, Qu Qianhe and Shui Rou decided to refurbish the house, and many from the logistics team came to help. Both quickly designed a new style, and with this help, it took only an afternoon to renovate the entire villa.

Of course, this so-called redecoration was merely a simple replacement of some unsuitable furniture, as well as wallpapers and paint. Afterwards, Fang Yuxin brought out some furniture and small ornaments previously used in their home from storage, and the home was transformed anew, even giving them a feeling as if they had returned home.

Shui Rou also replaced the home’s decorations with her preferred style, though the furniture from their actual home hadn’t been brought along, using similar styles instead, always felt slightly off.

The Bai Family and Fang Family planned to occupy the two buildings next to the main building, where Ji Chengtian had lived. However, as Ji Chengtian was not overly indulgent in female company, having very few women around him, he lived together with them in the main building. Thus, both families did not consider moving into the main building, instead changing it to a clean and solemn decor to be used as an office space.

At the same time, Fang Yuxin replaced all the flowers and plants in the garden, planting some vegetables and fruits as a guise, and also installing a Defensive Array throughout the garden.
