Chapter 447 Meeting

Lu Weiyi glanced in the direction of Zhuang Mingxu.

Zhuang Mingxu placed one in front of everyone and said, "This is a new instrument developed in our base, called the energy-reducing headband. It can reduce the zombie energy in the body of a person with special abilities."

As soon as these words came out, the three people in front of him immediately picked up the seemingly inconspicuous headband and looked at it. Zhao Qiang looked at the place in the middle of the forehead where something was obviously sandwiched, "Here?"

"Yes, it's right in front of the eyebrows," Zhuang Mingxu demonstrated the method of use, "According to the experimental data of our base, the best effect is to successfully reduce the energy in the body of the psychic by 4%."

"Previously, the zombie energy device was only launched in the Kyoto base and the Pingjin base, and I have also heard the feedback from the two bases. It's not that people don't believe it, but just watching it and knowing that they can't achieve the safety upgrade, but can only wait aimlessly, this process is enough to drive many psychics crazy."

Those who are anxious to upgrade are those who do not want to be weak. They are used to absorbing crystal cores at any time and constantly strengthening themselves. However, the value on the zombie energy meter is like a death warrant, clearly telling every psychic that they may die if they upgrade, but there is no accurate way to reduce zombie energy and prevent the continued accumulation of psychic powers.

Just watching the people around them constantly absorbing, and the feeling that they might be surpassed at any time, forces many people with poor psychological quality to upgrade regardless of their safety.

Although some people did not die, the consequences were tragic.

"After hearing the feedback, I asked our research institute to speed up the research on methods to reduce the zombie energy in the body," Zhuang Mingxu pointed to the things in the hands of the three people, "Now that we have this instrument, just watching the values ​​decrease every day, at least I have hope in my heart."

"Do you want to enter the market?" Lu Xiao did not start research immediately like the other two. After all, relying on his nephew's relationship, he would be given priority for any good things in the Yuebanwan base.

"It is definitely not possible to put it on the market as our manufacturing capacity is limited. We manufactured some of them before we came here and were thinking of taking this opportunity to promote it to various bases. It would be best if each base could have a few of them."

"It can be used crosswise. As long as the adsorption core made of special material has enough energy, no matter how many people use it, it can continue to be used." Zhuang Mingxu led the three people to a separate room.

Once the door was opened, various medical instruments were revealed inside, many of which had no idea what they were used for.

"Qingyue, please check the zombie energy in each captain's body."

"Okay." Gu Qingyue turned on the instrument near the door and motioned for someone to come in.

Zhao Qiang took the lead and after the test, he immediately asked Zhuang Mingxu to help him put it on. After the three of them finished, Zhuang Mingxu said, "You can take it off by yourself at any time when you go back, and you can also check the changes in the zombie energy in your body at any time. The effect will be very obvious in about five days."

Among the three grown men, only Zhao Qiang didn't feel uncomfortable at all. When Zhuang Mingxu talked to Zheng Yi about asking for an hour of promotion time during the meeting, he kept asking Gu Qingyue about possible situations that might arise in between.

"If it's effective, there's no need to promote it. Our team would love to get all of them." Zheng Yi said, and immediately realized something was wrong. He looked up at Zhuang Mingxu and said, "Give me a definite answer. How much are you going to charge for this?"

"That's not something I can decide. I still need to consider the human and material resources invested in the base's research and development..."

"Just tell me the numbers."

"Ten Thousand Crystal Cores"

“Cough… cough cough…”

Even though Zheng Yi was mentally prepared, he was still speechless because of this number. He glanced at Zhao Qiang, who had already put on the mask without caring about his image, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

As long as it works, it's worth it no matter how many crystal cores it takes.

That being said, it doesn’t affect the pain I feel when I pay the money.

Lu Xiao, who had been silent all the time, immediately put the things away carefully. Zheng Yi thought of the various instruments he had just seen and was speechless. "If you have anything else to promote, please bring them out and let us open their eyes."

"Haha..." Zhuang Mingxu knew that this meant he agreed, and he laughed and actually took the three of them to the room and told them about the recent things that had appeared in the base. Of course, he did not forget to ask about some of the latest products in the Kyoto base.

It was not until he confirmed the specific time with the three people and sent them off that Lu Weiyi realized that Zhuang Mingxu had asked him to take a lot of things with him this time, even crystal core guns that had never been sold before.

Even though he knew that he was planning to sell a batch of things, Lu Weiyi didn't expect that he wanted to sell them?

"Yes, don't you want each base to send some rare earths needed for weapon manufacturing? It's not that easy to get things without attracting people." Zhuang Mingxu admitted it very happily. Seeing Lu Weiyi's puzzled look, he sighed, "Besides, Xiaoyi, have you ever calculated the daily expenses of our base?"

Lu Weiyi immediately thought of the tens of thousands of earth-type mutants.

"Now that fewer members of the base are going out, the fees we can charge for entering and leaving the city will be much less. The zombie crystal cores killed by the base army when they go out are not enough to pay for daily expenses. Before, we have been exchanging crystal cores with various bases to maintain our operations, but recently mutated animals and plants have been rampant, and many ways of communication have been interrupted," Zhuang Mingxu spread his hands and said, "We have no money."

"This is also the reason why the development of the underground passage with Kyoto Base some time ago allowed Kyoto Base to provide half of the crystal cores. Otherwise, if we rely directly on ourselves, collecting tolls in the future will be a long-term source of income."

"And from what I heard from the team below, they want to move back into the base in the future. No longer going out will only bring more pressure to us. This time, all of us S-level psychics are here to generate income for our base. We want to negotiate long-term cooperation with as many bases as possible and save money for the future operation of our base."

Ever since the laboratory invented the instrument for purifying crystal cores, Lu Weiyi no longer cared about the crystal cores in the base. Every time he went out, Lin Yimu or Zhuang Mingxu would prepare the necessary crystal cores for him in advance. He took it for granted that there were enough crystal cores. Now it seems that all the difficulties were not told to him.

Lu Weiyi thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, after the conference is over, I will lead the team to clean up the zombies. I heard from my uncle that the central area of ​​Kyoto has not been set foot in by anyone so far, and it has completely become a hall of zombies. We will work with the Kyoto base to clean up the zombies once, and it will be considered as replenishing the finances."

With the intention of cleaning up the zombies, Zhuang Mingxu didn't know whether to arrange it here or after returning to Pingjin. Today's zombies have become something both terrifying and necessary for them. The psychics need zombie crystal cores and hope that there are ways to obtain them near the base. At the same time, they are worried that the zombies will produce too high a level and bring danger to the base.

"The people we brought have never cooperated before, let me think about it," Zhuang Mingxu did not agree immediately, "Starting tomorrow, there may be many members of the base coming to exchange for purified crystal cores. I will temporarily use a trading hall under my uncle as a trading venue, and let Lin Mo, Xu Sa and Liu Rui be responsible for this matter."

"When the time comes, we will try our best to build underground passages in each base. The crystal core income from these bases will be safer and the amount will not be small. Let's focus on these first."

Lu Weiyi nodded in agreement.

Three days later, the base meeting was officially held.

The meeting was chaired by the three major forces in Kyoto Base. Three people sat side by side in the main seat. The headbands they wore were extremely obvious, making people who didn't understand the situation think that it was some new fashion accessory. It was said that some people in Kyoto Base who were following the fashion were thinking of starting to make it.

The rest of the people went around in a circle, filling up the conference room.

The first thing we were told was that members of one of the bases had an accident on the way here and all of them were missing. As for what exactly happened, there is no definite answer yet.

This made the various bases, who had been sizing each other up as soon as they entered the conference room, immediately focus on the meeting.

As the current top priority, the first item mentioned is the abnormal reproduction of mutant animals.

"The National Research Institute set up a special research team. After spending half a year and conducting countless tests and experiments, they concluded that it is an energy similar to radiation that changes in organisms, and all the situations we are experiencing now are changes caused by radiation."

"This radiation changes the genes of humans and animals, causing humans to tend to be sterilized and animals to tend to have multiple births."

As soon as the words fell, the sound of discussion suddenly arose from below.

“This is clearly leading to the mass extinction of humanity.”

"That's right. We have never had any children born in our base. After all this talk, it turns out there is a problem with the genes. What can we do about this?"

The speaker ignored the reactions of the people below and said, "At the same time, it also brought about another change. Human life expectancy has been extended, while the life expectancy of animals has been significantly shortened."

The scientific researcher in a white coat chattered on and on about things in his professional field, successfully making many of the people in the audience drowsy. Only then did he say what everyone wanted to hear.

"We have developed a drug that can prevent the situation from getting worse. After repeated clinical trials, it can achieve a 90% effectiveness."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the audience started applauding.

Then someone asked, "Should we put this drug into use?"

Zheng Yi took the microphone and nodded, "It is ready to be put into use, but there is a problem. The medicine cannot be fed to mutant animals, so we decided to use the method of high-altitude spraying. However, Kyoto’s resources are limited, and it is impossible to take care of all places, so the areas surrounding each base can only provide supplies on their own."

"What supplies do you need?"

"You can look at the form given to you for the quantities of fuel, crystal cores and medicines."

Lu Weiyi directly handed it over to Zhuang Mingxu. Zheng Yi's attitude was very clear. This is the charging standard. You can use it or not.

Then cheap or expensive actually doesn’t make any sense.

The second point I mentioned is about the zombie siege.

A video was projected onto the display screen, showing a scene of a base under siege. An infrared pen was pointing at a particularly obvious zombie, whose hair covered half of his face.
