Chapter 248 Hair Dyeing and Cooperation Plan Part 2
The helicopter parking area is still some distance away from the ruined city, so they need to take a vehicle to get there.
Only after getting into the car did Chu Wenxi slowly ask a question, almost reservedly, "I heard that there seem to be more than just these few of you?"
Sitting in the car was Zhang Chun, who replied, "We are all here."
Chu Wenxi: “Haha.”
Zhang Chun was helpless.
So what can he say, Yun Yan is addicted to hair dyeing and hasn’t come out yet?
But it does take too much time.
It was not until they arrived at the gate of the ruined city and saw no one there that Zhang Chun's eyelids began to flutter wildly, and he quickly looked around.
As a result, Yun Yan was not seen in several barber shops in the ruined city.
Something happened?
This thought popped up in Zhang Chun's mind.
Of course, it doesn't mean that someone hurt Yunyan.
Instead, it was the kind of "incident" where Yun Yan secretly caused some trouble.
This is absolutely beyond common sense.
He decisively contacted those acquaintances who were still there, asking them to find someone.
Chu Wenxi was sitting in the back seat, his eyes showing some interest.
"Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't be so outrageous when he's with us." He said calmly.
Zhang Chun was calm: "This shows that he feels safe here."
Chu Wenxi is not smiling again? .
Others who were free went to find Yun Yan, while they closed the door of the meeting room and went straight to the point, without any intention of giving the Northwest visitors a break - you have to know that they and the other party are not on a friendly and loving relationship.
Where is the "Yunyan" that Zhang Chun was talking about? ?
At the top of the tallest tower in the ruined city.
He curled himself up on that sharp corner in a dark way, shrinking into a ball, shutting himself in, being silent, and lonely.
——But he was at the highest position in the entire base. If anyone looked up, they would see a small black dot on the tower, which looked like a flying bird. But as long as this guy moved slightly, most people would realize that the black dot was a person.
A person who doesn't know why or how he climbed up.
It clearly looks like he wants to hide, but he gives off a strange feeling of "come and see me".
At least when Cui Zhiyong climbed up the tower with great difficulty, his mind was full of what the other party was thinking.
He was almost breathing heavily as he climbed up the outer wall, trying to grab the edge of the boy's clothes with his hands - he felt that his actions were like pulling a child who had climbed up a tree and couldn't get down, or some small animal.
But the guy above his head was definitely not a well-behaved child or a pitiful little animal that couldn't get down from the wall. It was a ferocious beast that could kick him off the tower with one kick.
"So you? You're here alone? What are you doing? Zhang Chun and the others are looking for you?"
Cui Zhiyong asked, panting.
Chu Xiuyan hid his head in his arms and said in a muffled voice: "I don't want to see anyone now."
Cui Zhiyong was still trying to climb, "Why?"
Chu Xiuyan closed his mouth: "Because my world, my life, and my soul all completely collapsed half an hour ago. I am no longer the same person I was before. Please let me be quiet."
Cui Zhiyong almost wanted to roll his eyes, but he still patiently comforted his wife: "It's okay, no matter what happened, it will pass..."
The pale words suddenly froze when the young man slowly raised his head.
Because, the young man who was moved by Cui Zhiyong's words turned his head, and his face was completely exposed in front of Cui Zhiyong. Although it was still a familiar face and familiar eyes, the bottom of the young man's black hair had a scarlet color, an ominous, dangerous color that seemed to foreshadow some disaster.
Cui Zhiyong squeezed out a desperate wail from his throat, almost collapsing, "You? Are you sane now - I mean, do you? Have? the idea of kicking me off the tower and having fun with it?"
Chu Xiuyan glanced at him with red eyes, "Why would I do something like that?"
Cui Zhiyong relaxed his breath and murmured in a trembling voice: "Okay, then it means that you are not highly aggressive in your current state. As for the divine pollution, I have to talk to Zhang Chun first..."
Chu Xiuyan suddenly interrupted, "What god? Sex? Pollution? I'm in good condition."
Cui Zhiyong didn't understand anymore, he raised his hand and pointed at the boy's hair color tremblingly: "What about your hair?"
Chu Xiuyan's voice lowered again, and even started to sob: "I just came out of the barber shop - you? Don't you think I look uglier now? A lot? It's all because of this hair."
Cui Zhiyong couldn't breathe in the air that was stuck in his throat, and for a moment he wondered if he had a bump on his head if he cared about the other person seriously.
"Okay, okay," he sighed, "You mean the color you dyed your hair? Actually, it's okay. I think it's... quite vivid and eye-catching. It looks much better than your previous messy hair color."
Chu Xiuyan: “…”
His eyes? Sudden? Sharp, "What happened to my previous hair color? Each has its own characteristics, so beautiful. And this time it's not the hair color, it's the hairstyle. That barber cut my hair, and I don't like this new hairstyle. Don't you think it's the hairstyle that's the problem?"
Cui Zhiyong: “…”
He could barely catch his breath.
It's not God, sex, pollution, or the highlighted hair color that I don't like.
Just because I cut some hair——?!
"Just because of this? Just because of this?!"
Running so high, so remote place from? Closed? ?
Cui Zhiyong climbed up fiercely, grabbed the boy by the collar and pulled him down.
Chu Xiuyan struggled frantically, his limbs thrashing in the air.
The next second, Cui Zhiyong missed his step.
The two of them froze instantly.
Then, everyone near the tower heard screams from high in the sky, as well as faint curses mixed in.
The passers-by looked up in confusion, only to see a dark shadow flashing in the sky.
Like a bird blown away by the wind.
Two.
Ming Ji who passed by hid his merits and fame.
＊
Ruined city, base headquarters building, fifth floor east conference room.
negotiation.
The subject of the negotiation, the core, or the "reason for the negotiation", whatever the reason, the top fighters of the ruined city were all crowded into this small meeting room, staring at the three people across the long table.
Rather than talking about any serious business, they seemed to be here to keep the peace.
Although? Zhang Chun and? Lion Boss don't need it.
And Chu Wenxi simply ignored them, flipping through the documents in his hand.
Then, with a "bang", he pressed it on the table with his backhand, and looked at Zhang Chun and Boss Lion opposite with those deep eyes, which seemed to be full of irony no matter what the situation.
"Before the meeting begins, I have to ask you a few questions." He said: "Suppose the Northwest Base gave up that bullshit plan of humans becoming gods, would you still be hostile to them?"
"They will probably maintain a state of non-interference." Zhang Chun looked serious, "Do you have a way to stop their plan?"
"No?" Chu Wenxi pulled the corner of his mouth, it was a fake smile, "As I said just now, it's just a hypothesis."
Zhang Chun: “…”
Zai Zhe, who was standing at the back, let out a muffled laugh.
On the other side of the long table, the chief priest who was sitting quietly slowly turned his head and looked at Chu Wenxi who had just said "bullshit plan", with a hint of condemnation in his speech.
Chu Wenxi didn't care and continued to ask at his own pace: "Second question, assuming you are bound to lose, will you continue to choose this path?"
This time it was the Lion Boss who spoke, with his usual cheerful smile and a firmness that no one could ignore, "Of course?"
He paused, then said, "There shouldn't be gods in this world."
He only maintained this serious expression for a few seconds, and then he laughed again, "Although it is said so, everyone should not be so serious, it feels like a fight is about to break out in the next second... Want some cookies?"
On the table were several plates filled with various snacks.
Chu Wenxi ignored the cookie invitation from Boss Lion, and seemed to be thinking about something. Then he raised his eyes, and the faces of the people opposite him were reflected in his dark eyes. "I understand your determination, so let's get back to the main topic of this meeting - the content of the negotiation."
He clasped his hands together on the table and said word by word, "I hope you can hand over the Cloud Flame to me and help me conduct experiments. In return, I can promise that the Northwest Base will suspend the Divine Illumination Project for ten years and stop all improper intelligence exploration."
In the ruined city team, Wu Gaoyuan, who was leaning against the wall and yawning, sneered without restraint, and his eyes were full of coldness.
Zhang Chun's expression barely changed: "I object."
Boss Lion frowned and showed a disapproving expression: "Oppose!"
"Hey, look outside the window. It seems like there's a bird flying by. Let's go and smash it." Zai Zhe looked lazily at the window in front of him, as if there really was a bird flying by, but the murderous intent that surged up from his body was clearly directed at the person at the other end of the long table.
The chief priest said softly: "Shut up, everyone."
Xuan Wu: "Huh you? What did you say, you bastard—"
"Quiet." Zhang Chun stopped Xuan Wu from getting more and more impulsive, but the tense atmosphere did not ease for a while.
After all, they have doubts about the real purpose of this negotiation and are not optimistic about the final outcome.
Chu Wenxi curled his lips, ignoring the increasingly tense atmosphere, and said indifferently: "Arrogant and greedy group of people, you didn't even listen to the end of my words. So, if I say [I can let you continue to maintain human cognition and thinking ability in the state of trance] - what about this condition?"
The surroundings fell into dead silence. Zhang Chun could see the dust floating in the air, refracted clearly by the light from the window.
He was quiet? For a while?, noticing that Chu Wenxi had been silently examining him, his eyes cold, alert, and filled with distrust.
This person still has the idea of "bringing Yunyan to himself"... In other words, he is a control freak.
Zhang Chun thought slowly.
He has some similar qualities to Yunyan, but his personality is completely opposite.
"If these are all you want to say, then this meeting can end here. It's 11 o'clock in the morning now, so we won't keep you for lunch. Go back early, and maybe you can reach your base before sunset." Zhang Chun said slowly.
When Zaizhe and the others were about to jump out of the window and Boss Lion just stood up, Chu Wenxi, who was sitting across the long table, suddenly threw the documents in his palm forward, then leaned back in his chair and said nonchalantly:
"This is the manufacturing method of the inhibitor. For the Northwest Base, this is an inhibitor that can reduce divine pollution and delay loss of control. For you, it is a mitigating agent. In other words, it can enhance your power and become a true god in a short period of time with human cognition and thinking."
Zhang Chun didn't have it? He opened the information, but Boss Lion wasn't very interested either. He was walking happily towards the door.
The only person present was Bai Qu, who was pushing his glasses up tremblingly and frantically asking the head priest standing next to him, "Can this manufacturing method be handed over? Can it be handed over?!"
The officiant said calmly, "The doctor has his own plan."
"Don't refuse." On the other side, Chu Wenxi said to Zhang Chun and the others in a rational and cold tone: "Your enemies in the future will be more terrifying than you think. So we need to negotiate and cooperate. You will need this power."
As he spoke, his voice became lighter, which seemed to be meaningful under Zhang Chun's gaze.
Zhang Chun suddenly? Understood? What.
The purpose of this "Mr. Chu" from the Northwest Base may not be to take Yun Yan away, nor the result of this negotiation, but to develop a medicine that is beneficial to both parties, so as to balance the combat power gap between the Northwest Base and the ruined city.
And reveal some information.
Zhang Chun couldn't help but frown. He had been silent for a long time, which made Zai Zhe and the others feel a little strange.
Northwest Base, [Ice Field], [Blood Mist], [Time? Space], plus half of the former base that betrayed them for a long time, and what kind of enemy is there that requires so many of them to become gods in a short time?
……【origin】.
He remembered what Yun Yan had mentioned to him before, "The possibility of the blood mist getting out of control?" He asked in a very low voice: "Not just out of control, but... splitting?"
Chu Wenxi's dark eyes gradually lit up with a certain light, as if he had finally waited for the scene he had been looking forward to seeing. "I prefer to call it a split personality."
He hinted, the corners of his mouth slowly raised into an arc without any emotion.
Just like the relationship between the ocean and the sky we encountered earlier.
But it's far more complicated and dangerous than that.
Zhang Chun frowned and said with a headache: "If your conjecture is correct, then we do need this power. But there is still a problem. The [Blood Mist] in the Northwest Base is eyeing Yunyan covetously."
"I know about the successor, but I think He should know what rational thinking is. Otherwise, I have to wonder how He grew up."
Chu Wenxi crossed his legs, and his posture was particularly relaxed at this moment: "Don't worry about the [Blood Mist] matter, I will be responsible for handling it. Next, you can bring Yunyan to the Northwest Base, and we will provide a suitable research environment. Then, we can consider this a successful negotiation?"
Zhang Chun shook his head: "The last point. You? Didn't ask Yun Yan what he thought."
Chu Wenxi said calmly: "Of course he would agree."
…
…
"I don't agree."
Chu Xiuyan, who was dragged over, was still fighting with Cui Zhiyong. At this moment, he had a strange large doll headgear on his head. The sound coming through the plush fabric was muffled, and the resistance in it was particularly clear.
"You? What kind of messed up plan are you making again?"
He accused Chu Wenxi in front of him.
And made a face towards Zhang Chun and the others not far away - although those on the opposite side couldn't see it.
Then, he flipped Cui Zhiyong next to him over his shoulder and threw him to the ground.
Chu Wenxi ignored Cui Zhiyong who was cursing angrily beside him, and said to Chu Xiuyan word by word: "This is the best way to achieve the outcome you want. Uh, who - here? Put on a sound shield!"
Zai Zhe yawned, "Please, remember my name next time."
He opened the ? field.
Only Chu Wenxi and Chu Xiuyan were covered. Even Cui Zhiyong who was beside them was pushed out.
People outside could only see them arguing. The young man wearing a hood stood with his hands on his waist and seemed to be shouting something, while the older man looked like he was irritated, his chest heaving violently.
"They seem to be arguing a lot."
Zai Zhe said to Zhang Chun next to him.
"After all, they are family." Zhang Chun said calmly, and then he was silent? For a while? Then he lowered his voice, "So, we must succeed this time. Let this world return to normal, and let normal people return to their normal lives."
"..." Zai Zhe sighed: "So, who gets to decide what normal looks like?"
…
"Yes, yes, I did hide something!" Chu Wenxi gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "I hid that one of the raw materials of that potion was your blood! That thing not only needs an environment that is absolutely isolated from the blood crystal factor, but also needs your blood that can suppress the activity of that thing for some reason!"
Chu Xiuyan covered the mouth of the doll's headgear pretentiously and said exaggeratedly: "You? Now you really look like a perverted mad scientist... Wait a minute?, you? said that my blood can inhibit the activity of blood crystals?? But I can clearly easily absorb blood crystals and be easily contaminated by divine nature."
"Because something hidden in your body has not been activated. And I accidentally activated a part of it when I was developing the medicine." Chu Wenxi frowned and continued, "It may be that the [Blood Mist] affected you, and the blood crystal factor that entered your body mutated and produced a new element that restrained the blood crystal factor. It may also be a simple superpower."
Chu Xiuyan retorted, "But the ultimate evolution of superpowers is God? Ming, and the power of God? Ming also comes from that kind of blood crystal energy."
Chu Wenxi said calmly: "Blood Mist is also a god? Ming, then where does the blood crystal on his body come from? The Origin? But the Origin is also him."
Chu Xiuyan just felt a headache.
"Don't deal with this matter for now. What I want to talk to you about now is the future. Listen to me. The main effect of the potion I developed is to suppress the crazy and violent blood crystal factor in the body of the gods, which is what you understand as divine pollution. The gods in the northwest base will have their power reduced by one or two after being injected with the potion. And after the humans in the ruins city are injected, they will be able to use the power of the gods with human thinking for a short period of time."
Chu Wenxi spoke very quickly, with a sharp and bright light in his eyes, "You need to lead out the [Origin] as soon as possible, and work together to kill Him and the [Blood Mist]. In this way, the blood crystal factor in this world will lose its source and will gradually dissipate. The blood crystal factor in the body of the gods will dissipate the fastest... They will be transformed from gods to humans again."
"You? Do you understand?"
He had made sufficient? Full? preparations, and he wanted everything to be over as soon as possible.
Chu Wenxi stared at the silent young man in front of him, disliking the hood as too eye-catching, and simply raised his hand to take it off.
The blood-like hair tail suddenly came into view.
Chu Wenxi's voice paused and his pupils contracted slightly.
Then, Zhang Chun and his companions who were outside the sound shielding area suddenly crossed the barrier, and their voices were filled with panic.
"Yunyan, your hair——"
"Oh, it's dyed."
Chu Xiuyan picked up a bunch of hair and twisted it, his eyes drooping, his expression was different from before, he was immersed in thought and even looked a little strange.
But the next second, the bright smile that suddenly appeared on his face became familiar and natural again.
He grabbed Chu Wenxi's arm, and then slapped his palm heavily on the other's right hand.
"So, for the sake of? Betting on that last future, let's do something big!"
"It's a pleasure to work with you, Dr. Chu!"
…
…
Chu Wenxi slowly withdrew his hand. His slightly fluctuating emotions had disappeared. Now, as usual, he skillfully grasped the end of the young man's hair and said angrily, "What's wrong with this ugly hair!"
"Where? Ugly? Where? Ugly!?" Chu Xiuyan yelled at the top of his lungs.
Zhang Chun tried to persuade them to stop fighting: "Alright? Alright? Actually it's fine, but it's a little inconvenient for us to confirm your condition. How about washing it first and dyeing it later?"
"No - I want this red! I want it!! I want it now!!!"
