Chapter 181 Delaying Time

Li Bo said: "Yes, but it can only last for half a month..."

Yin Shan said, "If I give you 5,000 kilograms, it'll only be enough to last until the next wave of grain harvest. But fortunately, our farm has been doing well, so it's not bad. At least we have three meals a day! How about this: 5,000 kilograms of grain, 2,000 kilograms of meat, and 10,000 crystal cores for you. The next wave will still be these, and I only want 10,000 crystal cores. How do you think?"

Li Bo was furious. He only had two meals a day, and no meat. When the grassland base was destroyed, the poultry and livestock he raised were also destroyed. After arriving in City D, he had originally thought that Yin Shan would at least provide some support, after all, she had always done so before! But the damn girl didn't say a word.

But his expression remained the same as before: "You girl, you are such a profiteer!"

Yin Shan grinned: "There's no other way, I have to improve my strength!"

Then he said, "By the way, have you received any letter from the Bear Country?"

Li Bo's eyes moved and he said, "No, these old Russians are untrustworthy! But I am more worried that they have been completely conquered by the mutants..."

Yin Shan pretended to be worried and said, "If that's the case, then maybe they will come to us? Now we are all gathered here, and those mutants have dog noses. Maybe they will come here just by smelling the food..."

Li Bo exclaimed, "What do you mean?"

Yin Shan didn't miss the calculation in his eyes and said, "Mutants will actively attack humans. Su Xin said that they seem to judge by smell. Now the neighboring city and ours are densely populated... The human scent is strong. I'm worried these mutants will come over... After all, the Bear Country borders us...

Actually, even if you didn't come, I would have wanted to visit you. I'm thinking of moving the base."

Li Bo said, "Relocating the base is a waste of money and manpower. Our military base has just arrived, and you want to relocate the base... If you don't know, you might think I'm kicking you out."

Yin Shan smiled and said, "How could that be? But it's not necessary. After all, City D borders the Bear Country across a wide river. I'm a little worried about City A. There's no barrier between City A and the Bear Country... There are still nearly 100,000 people there..."

This is what Yin Shan just thought of. Since delaying time and cutting off communication will definitely make Li Bo suspicious, it is better to say it out loud!

Li Bo lowered his head and thought, if the Xinlong base was gone, it would be difficult to deal with the hundred or so people in the Yinshan base, but it would not be too complicated.

Moreover, he would need time to gather the people from the official base, so it would be better to release the Xinlong base and let Yin Shan feel that he was still the same as before.

By then, how to deal with the isolated and helpless Xinlong Base will be a matter of just a click of his finger.

Thinking of this, he said, "In that case, I'll go back and tell Commander Chen! You can also tell him that if he wants to move the base, it's no big deal. If he needs vehicles, I have them here."

Then he added worriedly, "But I'm afraid we can't delay for too long... I made a mistake in my decision before. I thought that if we brought everyone together, there would be strength in numbers, but I overlooked this point."

Yin Shan said, "Maybe I'm just worrying too much, but it's always good to be prepared!

But Commander-in-Chief, I really don't want to meet these people from the official bases. We have known each other for many years, and you don't even know who I am. I have never liked dealing with other bases.

I just want to live my life behind closed doors. I don't understand the twists and turns of officialdom. I don't know if I'll say something wrong and offend anyone. There are only about a hundred of us, and I really don't want to take any risks.

Can you help me reject it, please?"

Li Bo laughed and said, "Girl, how could you think that? I think you are so eloquent that you won't offend anyone! You just want to be lazy and let me, an old man, charge!"

Yin Shan said coquettishly, "Hey, look, you're the elder, right? I know you've treated me like a child over the years, so why don't you help me?"

Li Bo thought for a moment, then pretended to be embarrassed and doting, "Alright, I'll refuse for you, but let's make a deal. If I really can't stop them, you can just pick someone up to entertain them! Don't go too far. We're all compatriots, and there aren't many survivors left. If we don't unite, won't we all be eaten by mutants in the future?"

Yin Shan achieved her goal and happily sent Li Bo away. Then she quickly went to her bestie and complained, "Quick, let me take a look at this beautiful woman!"

Hou Ting rolled her eyes. "I think you acted pretty well just now! But Li Bo's acting wasn't that good!"

Yin Shan said helplessly, "It's not that he's a bad actor. If we didn't already know his identity, we might still think he's a good guy after all this drama!"

Hou Ting said, "Well, but you changed your mind? Let Commander Chen and the others evacuate like this? Aren't you afraid of spies?"

Yin Shan laughed and said, "Do you think Commander Chen and the others are pushovers? That's a base full of psychics. If there's a small accident along the way, wouldn't it be easy to get rid of the people following them?

Don't forget, except for a few of us, outsiders don't know that everyone in the Xinlong base is a mutant!

Tomorrow, have Tang Xiao and Wang Lu pretend to be Ji Yang and Chen Feng and go to Xinlong Base! Come back after arriving at Xinlong Base!

If Commander-in-Chief Li asks, I'll say I'm going to help. It's perfectly normal for me to send two people to help with the relocation of our base. Then, I'll inform the Cangshan team that there's a beast tide tomorrow, and I want them to fake their own deaths. Wang Lu and Su Xin, too. There are some tasks for them to do!

I need Fang Wenting's confidants to observe and determine whether they are trustworthy!"

Hou Ting said, "Ah? Isn't it a small-scale beast tide? Also, are you sure Tang Xiao and his friends are capable of observing the confidants? Why not let me go?"

Yin Shan said helplessly, "This isn't a small-scale operation; it's in the millions. Furthermore, I estimate the level of these mutants to be over 50. Even though we're faking their deaths, they shouldn't actually get hurt! Don't let the residents of the base know about this; that way the acting will be more realistic."

Don't go. I still need you for the next plan. You have to stay with me! And don't always treat Tang Xiao and the others as fools. The Cangshan team was so powerful before the apocalypse, but they are not easy to deal with! "

Yin Shan was discussing the next steps. After Li Bo returned to the military base, he recalled Yin Shan's behavior and actions. He felt that Yin Shan had not noticed anything unusual about him, but he still muttered to himself, "It seems that she really didn't do it. Mutant beast...mutant beast..."

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he said immediately, "Secretary He! Notify everyone to be on alert! Also, tell the other official bases not to act rashly. Notify the Spark Base, as there may be a wave of mutant beasts approaching!"

Secretary He was horrified. Although he didn't know why Li Bo made such a guess, he must have discovered something. A tide of mutant beasts was coming. This was a big deal, so he immediately notified everyone.

Yin Shan was surprised at his sharpness. As usual, he thanked the military base and then "quickly" made the arrangements.
