Chapter 258 The balance of the ecosystem is broken

Qiu Ming smiled and shook his head, pointing at him and said, "You are a dishonest child. You are telling lies with your eyes open."

Jin Mohan just smiled and said nothing, letting Qiu Ming continue talking.

Qiu Ming just kept smiling, his eyes fell on Jiang Zixuan.

Jiang Zixuan was standing by the window. After noticing his gaze, she moved to the side awkwardly, using the beautiful jade to block his view.

Qiu Ming was a little disappointed, and his eyes casually glanced at the bronze ring on her hand.

Everyone at the Leia base noticed his gaze and suddenly became a little nervous.

Qiu Ming signaled his subordinates to go out, leaving only Qiu Liren.

After only those who knew the inside story were left in the reception room, Qiu Ming went straight to the point and explained his purpose.

"I know that there is water in Zixuan's space ring. I hope your base can consider the development of all mankind and give everyone a chance to survive."

As soon as Qiu Ming's words came out, the faces of everyone in the Leia base changed.

Meiyu glared at Qiu Liren coldly, "We thought you were an honest man, but we didn't expect you to be so quick to do something behind my back."

Jing Chen's face darkened as well. "We've said before that if you dare to reveal the matter of the space, we will take your most precious base as the first target!"

Qiu Liren lowered his eyes and said nothing, looking as if he was in a trance, letting himself be dealt with.

Jin Mohan didn't expect Qiu Liren to keep his mouth shut, so he raised his hand slightly to signal the people on his side to calm down.

Qiu Ming didn't like the tense atmosphere and said helplessly, "Li Ren didn't tell me anything about the space ring. Your reaction is too exaggerated."

Ke Zhenshan changed his usual laughing expression and said cautiously, "You are not saying this on purpose to deceive us, are you?"

Jiang Zixuan frowned, rubbed the ring, and thought of a possibility.

In fact, this ring was originally Qiu Ming’s “relic”. It was normal for Qiu Ming to know this.

As expected, amid the vigilant looks of the crowd, Qiu Ming slowly said, "This ring was secretly made by me using stolen materials as a gift for my unborn daughter."

Everyone was shocked and looked at Jiang Zixuan.

Jiang Zixuan nodded slowly and heavily.

This ring, in essence, does belong to Qiu Ming.

Seeing that everyone had complicated expressions, Qiu Ming was afraid of causing Jiang Zixuan to misunderstand, so he quickly said, "I just want to explain that I already knew what was in this ring, not Li Ren who told me. I have no other intentions, don't think too much, I don't mean to take it back."

Jiang Zixuan glanced at him and put her hands behind her back.

"Even though this ring belonged to you first, when I first got it, it was only the size of a palm. In order to upgrade it, we all went through life and death, and got countless corpse crystals for it to develop into what it is today."

Jiang Zixuan paused righteously, then said firmly, "If you want to rob me by force, I have nothing to say, and I will fight you to the end. If you want to play the moral card, I'm sorry, I am a naturally immoral person and I won't fall for it."

These words made Jin Mohan unable to help but smile, and the others also felt relieved. They were afraid that Jiang Zixuan would not be able to get over it and really give the ring away.

They all thought Qiu Ming would be angry, but unexpectedly Qiu Ming burst into laughter instead.

"You are worthy of being my dear, you are as wicked as I am!" He laughed and clapped his hands, saying from the bottom of his heart, "Okay, okay, that's it. People can live better if they have no shame. If you throw away the chance of survival for a little so-called face and dignity, you are a complete fool."

As he spoke, he glanced at Qiu Liren next to him and said helplessly, "I taught this child to be too honest and upright, so he is bullied everywhere."

Qiu Liren said shamefully, "I'm so sorry for being such a fool. I'm sorry."

If his expression hadn't been one of genuine shame, everyone would have thought he was being sarcastic.

When Qiu Ming saw that his joke had caused another misunderstanding, he quickly said, "Daddy didn't mean that. Daddy actually wanted to praise you. No matter you or baby Zixuan, you are both Daddy's good children."

Qiu Liren didn't listen at all. The thought "I am an idiot" kept echoing in his mind. He lowered his head even more, feeling very sad.

Jin Mohan was in no mood to watch their bloody family reunion, so he knocked on the table and brought the subject back to the topic, "So, Commander Qiu wants us to give up the stream unconditionally because the ring originally belonged to you?"

Qiu Ming turned his attention here, still smiling, but his eyes gradually became sharper.

"Xiao Jin, you are a businessman. I understand that you don't want to do this kind of business that loses money. But you are also a smart person. You should be able to foresee what consequences will be incurred when the whole world loses fresh water and only your Leia base has a large amount of water resources."

Qiu Ming is determined to win, but Jin Mohan remains unmoved.

Before that, he had more things to ask.

"Commander Qiu said that the materials you used to make the ring were stolen. Can you elaborate on this part?"

Qiu Ming smiled kindly, "The Unified Base and the Leia Base are the most solid allies. I will tell you everything I know and can say."

The most important thing is that the Leia Base is not like the Viper Base, which is constantly fighting and causing unrest. With Jiang Zixuan as its precious daughter, there is no need to hide many things.

The story begins many years ago. At that time, not only Jin Mohan, but even Qiu Ming himself was not born yet.

About a hundred years ago, a meteorite fell from the sky and landed in a corner of South America, causing considerable shock in the local area.

Many meteorites fell from the sky. Except for the widespread spread of this incident in the local area, other countries at that time did not pay much attention to it.

In the following decades, many changes gradually took place in the area.

First, some wild beasts suffered from a strange disease. Their limbs became stiff for no reason, and their teeth became sharper. They would not die even if they received fatal injuries, but remained alive and well.

Locals also discovered that the wild animals were gradually becoming manic. They would actively approach humans and attack them, even the gentlest animals becoming highly aggressive, disrupting the balance of the local ecosystem.

Later, various countries finally discovered this change and sent scholars to the local area to investigate.

However, due to the tense world situation and constant wars, there are not many people available to investigate and there has been little progress.

Many years passed after that, and the local situation became increasingly serious.

Not only the beasts, but also the locals and researchers have become strange.

Their rationality is gradually disappearing, they love to bite and scratch people, and are extremely thirsty for blood, like mindless beasts.

When a scholar who had undergone a mutation bit off the throat of another companion in an uncontrollable state, people realized that things were not that simple and evacuated the area one after another.

The crazy scholar was brought back to the country for examination and treatment, and the final conclusion was that he might have been exposed to strong radiation, which caused brain tissue lesions and eventually led to his death due to the lack of medical treatment.

Scientists from various countries finally began to pay attention to the meteorite that might emit strong radiation. After some disputes and grabs, more than a dozen countries each cut off a part of it and shipped it back to their own countries for research.
