Chapter 137 Cooperation Conditions

Su Wanqing followed the coordinates provided by Ye and came to an abandoned underground parking lot.

There was a damp and musty smell in the air, and a few emergency lights emitted dim light, barely illuminating the dark space.

"This is the place where the rebels agreed to meet with us." Ye's voice sounded in her mind, his tone as calm as ever.

"I have scanned the surrounding environment and found no obvious threats. But the rebels are not easy to deal with, so it is better to be cautious."

"I know." Su Wanqing answered in a low voice, looking around.

Apart from a few rusty vehicles and scattered debris, the place was empty.

Not long after, a man in black military uniform came over with several soldiers.

The man was tall, with a stern face and a chilling majesty in his eyes.

"Su Wanqing, I'm glad you can come." Alan's voice was low and magnetic, and he looked at Su Wanqing with a scrutinizing gaze.

"I have heard of your name. You are young, promising, and courageous."

"Mr. Allen, it's a pleasure to sit down and talk with you." Su Wanqing tried her best to remain calm, without any fear in her tone.

Alan motioned for his men to bring over a folding table and a few chairs, and then he sat down himself.

"My people told me that you have a technology that can fight the zombie virus, and you also have a large amount of supplies."

"Mr. Allen is well-informed." Su Wanqing smiled slightly and did not deny it.

"We do have some methods to fight the virus and have stockpiled some supplies, but this is not enough to change the entire apocalypse situation."

"I understand." Allen nodded. "But I believe that as long as we work together, we can find a way to completely solve the virus and rebuild the world."

"Cooperation?" Su Wanqing raised her eyebrows. "What are Mr. Allen's conditions for cooperation?"

Allen took out a document from his arms and placed it on the table. "This is the hunting list held by our rebels. The list contains those who may threaten our rule."

He paused and continued, "We are willing to share this list with you as a bargaining chip for our cooperation."

"Share the hunting list?" Su Wanqing's tone turned cold.

"Mr. Allen, are you using human lives to exchange for our technology?"

"This is a mutually beneficial exchange." Alan's tone remained calm.

“We provide intelligence, and you provide technology. In this way, we can fight the zombies together and consolidate our rule.”

Ye's voice rang in Su Wanqing's mind: "He wants to use us to eliminate dissidents and consolidate his own power."

Su Wanqing took a deep breath and tried hard to control her emotions.

"Mr. Allen, the conditions you proposed are too harsh. We will not sacrifice innocent people to save ourselves."

"It seems that you are unwilling to cooperate." Alan's eyes became sharp.

"The premise of cooperation is fairness and justice," said Su Wanqing.

"We are willing to share our technology with the rebels, but you must ensure the safety of those on the list."

"That's impossible." Allen flatly refused. "We cannot tolerate the existence of anyone who threatens our rule."

"Then there is no need for us to continue the negotiations."

After Su Wanqing finished speaking, she was about to get up and leave.

"Wait." Allen stopped her. "Perhaps, we can make some adjustments."

He was silent for a moment, then said, "We can exchange one person on the list for your existing jade bracelet technical data."

Su Wanqing stopped, turned around, and stared at Alan.

"Jade bracelet technology?"

"That's right." Allen nodded. "We are very interested in the jade bracelet in your hand. It can generate a variety of materials, which is very important to us. As long as you give us the technical data of the jade bracelet, we can let one person on the list go."

Ye's voice sounded again: "A very dangerous suggestion. He may have known the value of the jade bracelet a long time ago."

Su Wanqing's heart was filled with alarm. Allen's proposal seemed to be a concession, but in fact he was coveting the power of the jade bracelet.

If they handed over the technical data of the jade bracelet to him, they would lose their only guarantee of survival.

"Mr. Allen, your request is too much." Su Wanqing said coldly.

"We will never give you the technical data of the jade bracelet."

"It seems that you really don't want to cooperate." Alan's tone became tougher.

"We can cooperate, but it must be done under the principles of fairness and justice."

Su Wanqing said, "We can share some simple technologies with you, but the technical data of the jade bracelet must not be handed over. In exchange, you must ensure the safety of everyone on the list and stop oppressing the survivors."

"You are too naive." Allen sneered. "In this apocalypse, only power is the only truth.

If you don't obey me, you will become my enemy."

"So what?" Su Wanqing's tone also became tough.

"We will not be afraid of any threats."

"Okay, in that case, let's go our separate ways." Alan stood up and prepared to leave.

"Wait." Ye's voice suddenly sounded in Su Wanqing's mind.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Pretend to cooperate."

Su Wanqing was slightly stunned and didn't understand what Ye meant.

"Pretend to agree to his terms and find out his intentions. We need time to find Jiang Yun and uncover the rebels' conspiracy."

Ye explained. "As long as we remain vigilant and are ready to withdraw at any time, there won't be much risk."

Su Wanqing nodded. Ye's proposal was very reasonable. In the case of insufficient strength, pretending to cooperate is the best strategy.

"Mr. Allen, I agree to your conditions." Su Wanqing said.

"We can give you the technical data of the jade bracelet. In exchange, you must ensure the safety of everyone on the list."

Alan showed a satisfied smile on his face. "Very good, I knew you would make a wise choice."

"However, I have an additional condition," Su Wanqing said.

"Before I hand over the technical data to you, I need to personally verify the authenticity of this list and make sure you will not cause any harm to the people on the list."

Alan frowned. "You are too cautious."

"It is necessary to be cautious," Su Wanqing said. "After all, we are conducting an important transaction and must ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Allen was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, I agree to your request. You can personally verify the authenticity of the list and supervise our actions."

"Also, I hope to arrange a few personnel to enter your base to assist you in analyzing the technical data." Su Wanqing continued.

Alan's eyes became alert. "You're asking too much."

"This is just to ensure the security of technical data and prevent it from being leaked."

Su Wanqing explained. "Our personnel will strictly abide by your regulations and will not interfere in your internal affairs."

Alan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed to Su Wanqing's request.

At this moment, Xiao Ran suddenly let out a low roar. "Alan, you are nothing but a cold-blooded executioner. You use human lives to gain benefits. You are totally devoid of conscience!"

Su Wanqing quickly stopped Xiao Ran with her eyes. She knew that Xiao Ran was very competitive and easily impulsive.

At the critical moment of the negotiation, you must remain calm and rational.

Although Xiao Ran was very dissatisfied, he still held back and just glared at Alan fiercely.

Lin Che stood beside Su Wanqing with no expression on his face, but Su Wanqing was keenly aware of the abnormal emotional fluctuations emanating from him.

He seemed to be suppressing the disturbances of the Night, which made her feel a little worried.

"Okay." Allen said. "Then we will do as you say. Tomorrow, we will arrange for someone to hand over the list to you and allow your people to enter our base."

"Very good." Su Wanqing nodded. "I hope we can cooperate happily."

Alan sneered and said nothing.
