Chapter 51 Li Guangnian's Scientific Research Team

Several people got on the car. Yin Shan felt something was wrong. No matter in her past life or this life, she had never heard of the news of the establishment of an official base in City A. There was not even a shelter. Only some relief food was distributed at the beginning, and there was no news after that.

In his previous life, Yin Shan went to the official base in Kyoto very early and did not know much about the construction of bases in other cities.

She found it strange when she heard Lei Ting say that most of the official bases in various cities declared independence.

If City A didn't have an official base because it wasn't too far from Kyoto, then why didn't the Kyoto official base come to City A's rescue? Even the Xinlong base hadn't taken any action.

Who was the leader of City A in my previous life?

Seeing Yin Shan frowning in thought, Chen Feng said, "Boss, what's wrong?"

"I'm wondering why City A doesn't have an official base? The Xinlong Base doesn't accept ordinary survivors, so what about the ordinary residents of City A?" Yin Shan asked.

"The leader of City A died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage three days before the acid rain. Kyoto had originally designated Wang Jinshan as the leader of City A. Later, when the acid rain hit, Wang Jinshan followed Fang Wenting to establish the official Kyoto base.

Kyoto has a population of nearly 4 million, and City A has about 3 million. The natural disaster came suddenly, and I think the country was slow to react at first, or perhaps thought the disaster would pass quickly.

Later, it was discovered that the natural disaster might last for many years, so they planned to establish an official base in Kyoto first, and then have Wang Jinshan come to City A to establish a base.

Wang Jinshan was only concerned with vying for power and profit, and never considered that other cities would establish official bases. "Chen Feng said slowly.

"Base Commander, I know something about this." Li Wei said. Before Yin Shan could continue asking, he continued, "After Su Nianyi's base discovered that some humans had awakened their special abilities, they believed that a new era had arrived and tried to win over Fang Wenting to establish a new order. Fang Wenting refused, so he turned to instigating Wang Jinshan's rebellion.

They believed that people with awakened superpowers should be called new humans, while ordinary people were old humans. He and Wang Jinshan called the end of the world the era of new humans.

Su Nianyi conducted human experiments in order to obtain a new human war machine, attempting to unify the country through force and break the old order.

He also contacted some other people for this purpose, but I don’t know who they were.”

After he finished speaking, Yin Shan said, "Stop the car."

Li Wei stopped the car as instructed. Yin Shan said slowly, "Academician Li, since you possess psychic abilities, escaping is a piece of cake. Why are you still staying at Su Nianyi's base?"

Li Wei smiled and said, "Girl, when did you find out?"

"Hou Ting discovered something unusual about you when she was selecting survivors who met my criteria, but at the time she simply felt that your actions didn't match the age she saw.

She gave me a hint at that time. My mental power is higher than yours, so I recognized you, Academician Li Guangnian, at first sight.

So when you proposed laying an underground water supply system, I thought you had some ulterior motives, so I went along with it and brought you out.

I guess you already knew the situation in City B, and you also knew that I would find something if you came to the water supply company, so you deliberately led me here.

But you didn't expect the people from City B to just happen to arrive, and you didn't expect that I had no intention of interfering in City B's affairs. So what you just said was trying to tell me that there are many people who want to establish a new human race to rule the world, and the City B base must be one of them, right?" Yin Shan stared at Li Wei, oh no, Li Guangnian, and spoke slowly.

"There's one thing I don't understand. Since Hou Ting saw that there was something wrong with me, why did she still put me in the team that could be accepted?" Li Guangnian asked.

"Monkey is a psychology expert, good at detecting micro-expressions. Your inappropriate behavior doesn't mean there's something wrong with you. On the contrary, the message she conveyed to me is that you are a very upright person. So she decided to accept you."

Li Guangnian: "Hou Ting...Hou Ting, this girl is one of the most famous psychology experts I've met, but I've never heard of her. And from what I've heard, she was a food dealer before the apocalypse. Why?"

"Hou Ting's parents died young. She lived next door to Wang Lu, and Wang Lu's parents took pity on her and adopted her. Wang Lu's father, Wang Yuying, is a biologist, and I think you know him. Ten years ago, Wang Lu's mother passed away, and Wang Yuying suffered from depression and eventually committed suicide by jumping off a building.

Hou Ting believed that as an adopted daughter, she did not notice her adoptive father's abnormalities and was not qualified to be a psychologist, so she changed her career.

Do you have any other questions?" Yin Shan replied.

"No, I know about Wang Yuying. Her mother's death is an S-level secret. I will explain it to her when I have the chance. Her parents are both great!

Let me tell you in detail about the official base of City B and Su Nianyi's research.

Su Nianyi asked me to help him with human experiments. After my special abilities awakened, I found that as long as I wanted to hide, no one could recognize who I was, or even see me.

But I was in the lab every day, and if I used my powers too frequently, Su Nianyi would definitely notice something was wrong, so I faked my own death and escaped, disguising myself as a captured survivor and blending into his base.

Su Nianyi sent people everywhere to win over local leaders, promote his new human ideas, and spread the news that Fang Wenting had passed away. Fang Wenting was the next national leader. After the end of the world, he was appointed to take charge of the country, so his existence was equivalent to a spiritual pillar.

Communications are not smooth now, so many local leaders who already have some ulterior motives believed it and declared independence.

Because the leaders of City B are pro-Fang, Su Nianyi joins forces with the Black Dragon Society to take drastic measures.

Girl, I've been researching superpowers at Su Nianyi's base for a while now, and I've discovered that superpowers aren't given to people randomly, but rather are a manifestation of breaking through one's limits. In other words, as long as one breaks through one's own limits, it's possible to awaken a certain superpower, or even several of them.

"But to perfect my research on superpowers, I need my research team to be with me. That's why I want to lead you to City B. My team is in City B. I hope you can save them." Li Guangnian said, looking eagerly at Yin Shan.

Yin Shan smiled bitterly and said, "Academician Li, what makes you believe that I have the ability to save your research team?"

"First of all, the strength of the official base of City B is almost the same as Su Nianyi. Since you can deal with Su Nianyi, I think you have the ability to deal with the official base of City B.

"Secondly, even if you don't take action to rescue the ordinary survivors at the official base in City B, it doesn't matter. My research team is deep in the mountains of City B, with abundant supplies and in an underground air-raid shelter. I believe they are still alive," Li Guangnian said.

"Why do you believe they are alive? It has been almost half a year since the end of the world began." Yin Shan was puzzled. Li Guangnian was too sure, but this was simply impossible.

"A month before the acid rain, the military discovered some animals exhibiting abnormalities, similar to the animal mutations we see today, but the changes were not too obvious and not numerous at the time.

So the military hunted some and gave them to us for research. Typically, for this kind of research, we live in a closed-off facility. The underground air-raid shelter has enough supplies to last a year, and its water and electricity are self-contained. "As long as the Earth survives, the shelter will survive," Li Guangnian said confidently.

"Excuse me, Academician Li. Even if they have food and drinking water, they won't come out. But it's extremely cold now. Are you sure there won't be a problem with the heating?" Chen Feng asked. "After all, it's so cold that the water pipes are frozen. They eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the air-raid shelter. Are they really not going to run away..."

Li Guangnian remained silent. Indeed, the problem raised by Chen Feng was inevitable. With a temperature close to minus 70 degrees Celsius, his team might... have been gone long ago.

"In any case, we have to go to City B. Academician Li, I think Fang Wenting is more suitable to handle this matter. What do you think?"

"I think you know better than I do what you and your team mean to the entire country. The official base in Kyoto, or the military base, is where you should go. I'll arrange for you to go to Kyoto when we get back." Yin Shan sighed.

After hearing Yin Shan's words, Li Guangnian's face turned red in an instant: "I'm not going! You're such a traitor! How much food can an old man like me eat by myself! Oh, even with my team! We can't really bankrupt you! I don't care, you've accepted me as a resident, so I'm here! I'm not going! I'm not going!"

Looking at the old man who was about to throw a tantrum, Yin Shan said helplessly, "Academician Li, this is just a small base. I don't have those grand ambitions. I just want to live peacefully with my people."

Li Guangnian: "I don't care! That Lei Ting said it all, Fang Wenting hopes your base will be a spark base! Isn't scientific research a spark?! I won't leave! Don't even think about sending me to Kyoto!"

Yin Shan, with veins throbbing, said: "How can you be so unreasonable, old man! I told you, my temple is too small to accommodate a giant like you! Why not go to Kyoto? You are a national academician, what can you do if you stay here with me!"

Li Guangnian: "I can do everything! Biology, medicine! My team and I can research everything! There are so many mutant creatures now! There will be even more in the future! Do you dare to say you don't need my research? The Kyoto base is already busy resettling the survivors. Although Wang Jinshan is dead, there is no telling how much internal fighting there is! What can we research? We might be thrown out as a target one day!"

Chen Feng and Wu Gang looked helplessly at the two people who were arguing with each other, looked at each other, and sighed helplessly.

The two of them argued back and forth for more than 10 minutes, one insisting on staying and the other refusing to accept it, and they said a lot of the same things over and over again.

Finally, Chen Feng couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Isn't the main problem now to rescue Mr. Li's research team first?"

Yin Shan: .....

Li Guangnian: .....

Wu Gang laughed and said, "Big sister, our base really doesn't lack food for 10 people...why not..." Wu Gang said halfway, glanced at Yin Shan's meaningful eyes, and shut up decisively.

What does the look in Big Sister's eyes mean?... He doesn't understand either.

Yin Shan narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Feng.

Chen Feng understood immediately: "Boss, you have already accepted Mr. Li into the base. Mr. Li has not enslaved ordinary residents, nor has he killed or set fire to anyone. We... have no reason to kick him out..."

Yin Shan said, "Am I the boss or are you the boss?"

Chen Feng muttered, "This is a reasonable opinion. As you said, reasonable opinions will be adopted."

Yin Shan narrowed his eyes: "So what do you think now? Do you think we can save people?"

Chen Feng said: "I think our combat power is enough to save people! But there are too many survivors in the official base of City B, and we can't afford to support them. We still need the Kyoto base to come forward!

My opinion is that we should go to the research institute first to rescue them. If the rescue is successful, we will no longer interfere with the Kyoto base's operations against the official base in City B. If the rescue fails and Mr. Li's research team is taken away by the official base in City B, then we will take the lead and eliminate the Black Dragon Society!

Yin Shan asked, "Have you ever considered that we might not be able to escape unscathed? There will be bloodshed and sacrifice. Including me, our effective combat force is only 21. Do you think it's worth it?"

Chen Feng saluted: "I have no regrets in contributing to the base residents! Even if I die, it is an honor!"

Wu Gang persuaded her, "Big Sister, the current environment is not good. Elder Li and the others are staying in our base to preserve the country's strength... You also said that we should do our best to save those who are worth saving."

"But I also said that saving people should be done within one's ability, not at the expense of oneself." Yin Shan frowned.

Yes, she wanted to take over Li Guangnian's team. But the Black Dragon Society was able to immediately seize control of the official base in City B. Their power should not be underestimated. This trip to City B would undoubtedly be fraught with danger.

She was confident that Fang Wenting wouldn't compete with her for the personnel. After all, as long as the Kyoto base didn't interfere openly, Fang Wenting would turn a blind eye if she took Li Guangnian's research team away. After all, Fang Wenting wanted to use the Longteng base as a backup base for training, and researchers were also part of the spark.

Yin Shan sighed. She really just wanted to give up and live a good life with her family. But before she knew it, the plate had been laid out so big...

"Let's go back to the base first and discuss it." Yin Shan said no more and asked everyone to get in the car and return to the base.

When we arrived at the base, Wang Lu and the others had already returned.

Yin Shan took Chen Feng back to Villa No. 1 and invited Wang Lu and Hou Ting to a meeting.

Yin Shan briefly discussed Li Guangnian's situation and then announced his decision: "Mr. Li's team must be rescued, even if everyone in the team dies, the scientific research materials and equipment must be brought back.

The Black Dragon Society is very powerful. This time we killed more than 30 of them in the water supply company. As long as there is enough time, they will definitely find us, so I suggest that we strike first.

Chen Feng will stay behind to guard the house. If we find researchers at the institute, Wang Lu will escort them back to the base with Tang Xiao and Li Fei. The others will follow me to the Black Dragon Society to suppress the bandits.

Guan Yunhua said, "We need to prepare and set off in two days. In the next two days, Shanshan, you and I will stimulate the growth of plants around the base and prepare for defense."

Chen Feng said, "Boss, I'll go with you! Someone else will guard the house!"

Yin Shan shook his head. "I don't trust others to guard the house, so I need you to do it yourself. Okay, let's get ready and leave in two days!"
