Chapter 107: Using technology to exchange hostages, chaos in the Jing City base...
Ichiro Kobashi probably didn't expect things to go so smoothly. He smiled and said, "Hello, Commander Li Mo. I'm very happy to receive your video call."
Li Mo's face appeared in the video. His expression was extremely heavy, in stark contrast to Ichiro Kobashi's cheerful expression.
"I have the core technology of the mental scanner, and I can give it to you. In exchange, please let my family return."
Ichiro Kobashi said, "Of course, as long as I receive the core technology of the mental scanner, I will release them immediately. If it is inconvenient for you, Commander Li Mo, I can even send someone to send your family back. As long as you make arrangements and open the air route to our pilots, it will be fine."
Ever since the last time that the R country's stealth fighter sneaked in, a full martial law mode has been activated over the Xia country, making sure that not even a mosquito can fly in.
Li Mo said: "No need, I will send a plane to pick them up myself."
Kobashi Ichiro smiled and said, "Sure, we at R Base will fully cooperate with you."
Li Mo said cautiously: "I will pass on the core technology of the mental scanner to you now. I hope you can abide by the agreement and release the person as promised."
"Please rest assured that the R base is the most trustworthy base, and the R people are the most honest people."
"Please be sure to abide by the agreement." Li Mo's finger moved to the send button, and the deputy commander of Base Z said, "Boss, you have to think it over. Once you press this button, there will be no chance to regret it."
Li Mo closed his eyes and lightly tapped his finger, and the file was sent out.
In just a few tens of seconds, a piece of information was received in Ichiro Kobashi's mailbox. When Ichiro Kobashi saw the information, his eyes lit up frighteningly.
Li Mo asked, "When did you release my family?"
Kobashi Ichiro stared at the data on the computer and couldn't move his eyes away. "Commander-in-Chief Li Mo, please rest assured that we will definitely do what we promised you."
"Once we have developed the finished product, we will immediately let your family go."
Li Mo asked in a lost voice: "We still have to wait. Can't we release him right now?"
Kobashi Ichiro smiled and stretched out his index finger, shaking it and said, "I believe in the character of Commander Li Mo, but I don't believe in Gu Jinsheng's character. He is too cunning. Who knows if he has tampered with this information. But you can believe in the integrity of our R country. As long as the mental scanner is successfully developed, we will definitely release the person."
Li Mo gritted his teeth, feeling uneasy. He had no idea what was going on, so he could only hope that Kobashi Ichiro would keep his promise. "Commander Kobashi Ichiro, please keep your promise."
"Don't worry, our nation is the one that values promises the most in the world." Kobashi Ichiro said, "I can take you to see your family."
The assistant took Ichiro Kobashi into the dungeon of R Base. The dungeon of R Base was eerie and scary. It was daytime and the lights were on in the dungeon, but it was still dark.
Dozens of people were crammed into a small prison of more than a dozen square meters. These people were like buns, one next to the other, with barely enough space for sitting down and no place to lie down. The environment was extremely dirty and messy. Wherever the camera went, human excrement could be seen, and there were flies as big as mutated baby fists flying everywhere.
These mutated flies are not the harmless little flies that existed before the apocalypse. These flies are blood suckers. They lie on people and suck blood. In a few days, they can suck all the blood from a healthy adult.
Ichiro Kobashi covered his nose, and several assistants around him waved their special powers to drive away mosquitoes and flies.
"Li Mo's family members, who are Li Mo's family members, come out!" the assistant shouted loudly. No one in the cell moved. Some even shrank into the corner silently, fearing that they would be dragged out and beaten to death by Kobashi Ichiro and others.
"What are you going to do?" Gao Wanli stood up and blocked the way. He had been active in the Xia people circle since the end of the world and was the leader of the Xia people's union.
"Get lost!" The assistant pushed Gao Wanli away. "You have nothing to do here. Get out of here."
There was a flash of impatience in Kobashi Ichiro's eyes, but he suppressed it, "Li Mo's family, Li Mo is now the commander-in-chief of Base Z. He is willing to exchange you for the mental scanner, and you can come out now."
"It's me, it's me!" A short man jumped out immediately.
Kobashi Ichiro pointed the camera of his mobile phone at the short man's face, and Li Mo immediately said, "He is not my family, I don't know him."
The assistant waved the short man away, and the short man howled and pleaded in a low voice: "Your Excellency Commander Ichiro Kobashi, I am your most loyal believer. I am no longer a Xia countryman. If you don't believe me, you can check my nationality. I am a R countryman. My father's generation immigrated here. My father is the most sincere R countryman. He really loves R country. Even my name is Matsushita Ben. I don't even have a Chinese name."
"Shut up, Matsushita Ben. Even if we Xia people die, our spines will be straight!" Gao Wanli shouted loudly.
Matsushita Ben collapsed and yelled: "That's because your lives are worthless. You poor bastards can't even afford a meal, how can you compare with me!"
Kobashi Ichiro said to his assistant, "Tell them all to shut up!"
"Yes." The assistant used his special power to knock Gao Wanli and Matsushita Ben out at the same time. Both of them spat out blood.
Li Mo's family saw Li Mo through the mobile phone and knew that their son really became the commander-in-chief of the base and was willing to exchange his technology for them. They immediately stood up from the crowd happily.
"Son, we are here, mom and dad are here!" Li's father and mother waved their arms. Li Mo saw their haggard, old, and disheveled appearance, and tears fell all of a sudden, "Mom and Dad..."
Kobashi Ichiro could no longer stay in this dirty place, so he ordered, "Bring the people with you, let's get out of here."
Gao Wanli covered his chest and grabbed the ankle of Li's father who was walking out happily. "You once said that you would rather die than let the Jingshi Base exchange you for those technologies."
Father Li was silent for dozens of seconds before he said, "It's not the Jing City base. Our son came to rescue us. The technology he used to exchange for us was from his own base."
"That's also from the Jing City Base." Even without the Internet, Gao Wanli could guess which technology Li Mo used to replace people. It was only the mental scanner, which was a technology that the Jing City Base opened to the entire Xia Country but was kept secret from the outside world. "You know, that's also the technology of the Jing City Base."
Father Li shook his head. "We don't know anything in there. Everything is just your imagination. Maybe my son is using the technology developed by his base to exchange for us! That is the technology of my son's base. It is his right to do what he wants with it. It shouldn't be impossible for him to exchange our freedom for ours, right?"
Gao Wanli said: "You ask your son. If it is really the technology that your son's base developed, I will have no objection."
Father Li did not ask, but just exerted a little effort to break free from Gao Wanli's shackles, and followed Kobashi Ichiro out of the smelly cell.
It was not until they left the cell that Kobashi Ichiro spoke up, "Now Commander Li Mo can rest assured. We have brought your parents out and will take good care of them for you during this short period of time."
Li Mo said repeatedly: "Thank you, Commander Ichiro Kobashi."
Ichiro Kobashi said to Gu Jinsheng behind the video: "What do you think, Commander Gu Jinsheng? A day has passed. Just because your family is not here, you don't care about so many lives and are unwilling to exchange technology for people, right? If your family is here now, we have already received the technology you packed up."
However, as soon as the video was disconnected, Kobashi Ichiro said impatiently: "Get rid of this person quickly, the smell is terrible."
The assistants immediately pushed the Li couple forward. The Li couple asked, "Where are you taking us? Are we going to the airport?"
"Shut up. Why are you asking so many questions? Just go wherever I take you. Don't ask any more questions!"
Then the Li couple found out that they had just come out for a walk and were taken back to the dungeon. The only difference was that this time they were given a separate cell and no other preferential treatment.
Father Li couldn't help but ask, "Didn't my son already use his technology to exchange us out? Commander Ichiro Kobashi agreed to it, so why did he bring us back here?"
No one answered Mr. Li's question and the cell door was ruthlessly closed.
Ichiro Kobashi immediately contacted DeWitt and flattered him, "Commander DeWitt, I have obtained the core technology of the mental scanner. I am confident that the core information I obtained this time is 100% authentic. Can you introduce me to Commander-in-Chief Charles? I want to report this good news to him in person."
DeWitt comforted him, "Send me the core information and I will give it to Commander-in-Chief Charles. Don't worry, I will definitely ask the commander-in-chief for credit for you and will not take credit for your work. When you get all the other technologies, I will introduce Commander-in-Chief Charles to you. There will be plenty of opportunities, so don't miss out now."
Kobashi Ichiro wanted to fight for another chance, but DeWitt's face darkened. "Why, Mr. Kobashi Ichiro, are you afraid that I will take the credit for your contribution?"
Kobashi Ichiro was so scared that he waved his hands repeatedly, "I definitely don't mean that. I will send you the core technology right now."
DeWitt received the technical information and hung up the video. He said, "You are worthy of knowing Commander Charles. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself?"
After receiving the information, Charles smiled and said, "Dewitt, you did a great job. As long as you get all the remaining information, I will immediately transfer you back to the HSD headquarters and promote you to deputy commander."
DeWitt's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Thank you, thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for your support."
Jingshi Base watched Ichiro Kobashi's live broadcast. Ichiro Kobashi deliberately broadcast it live for Gu Jinsheng and Jingshi Base to watch. He wanted to use this video to disrupt the emotions of the residents of Jingshi Base and obtain all the core technologies.
"Boss, Ichiro Kobashi did this on purpose!" Kong Zhongcheng said with certainty: "Li Mo, the commander-in-chief of Z base, is also a fool. The whole world knows who is in R base and what kind of person Ichiro Kobashi is. Why doesn't he want to use his brain to think about it!"
Wan Xueying said worriedly, "What Li Mo and Kobashi Ichiro did will only make the families of the stranded people even more unstable. They will definitely ask us to use our core technology to bring them back as soon as possible."
Zhou Qin said: "Boss, Li Mo is treacherous. He tore up the agreement between us and his base and violated the contract. Are we going to let them go like this? If we let it go so easily, other bases will see that they have not been punished and have not suffered any losses. They will just follow suit and will not take our base seriously."
Gu Jinsheng's eyes were cold and he said, "Of course we can't just let it go. He is committing treason."
Wan Xueying said, "Base Z itself is nothing to be afraid of. With the current strength of our Jing City Base, we can attack it if we want. However, attacking Base Z at this critical juncture will only anger those online supporters, and the situation will become even more uncontrollable."
Gu Jinsheng said: "Don't worry, seven days."
R Base only gave them seven days to consider. After seven days, R Base would ask Jing City Base for a result, and at that time Ji An would also give Jing City Base a result.
Zhou Qin said: "I believe that in seven days, God Ji will not let us down."
Wan Xueying's eyes showed a hint of worry, but she did not say anything discouraging. Instead, she prayed, "May the gods and Buddhas in heaven bless me. I must make sure that Boss Ji succeeds this time!"
"Boss, it's bad. There are residents outside making a commotion. The parade is coming towards the headquarters!"
