Chapter 413 He knew and agreed
The man's awkward smile froze on his face. He turned his head and met the majestic and sharp black eyes of the base leader.
He put down the water cup gently, his eagle-like eyes fixed on him. "Do you think that our Deputy Base Commander Sheng's initiative to exchange crystal cores for potions is blackmail?"
"I……"
He panicked and wanted to deny it, but he did say these two words.
But if he admitted it, and the commander of the central base said that he would not "blackmail" them in the future, he would become the target of public criticism.
He turned his head and subconsciously looked at his allies.
Eternal Day Base.
Ran Haiming from the Eternal Day Base also came.
Regardless of whether he joins the alliance or not, he wants to come and see the progress of the discussion today...
However, when he received the gaze from this stupid ally, he frowned slightly, avoided his gaze and said nothing.
The base commander said, "??!!"
"Our base doesn't have that intention," someone said, picking up the thread that led to Base Director Lu's words. "With zombies rampant these days, we're already very satisfied if the official base can produce a cure for the zombie virus and provide it to ordinary people like us."
This is a smart guy, he put the official in a difficult position as soon as he opened his mouth.
The other bases also reacted and immediately agreed, "We didn't mean that. Personal grudges don't involve the alliance. We all trust the character of the official deputy base commander."
"That's right, we didn't mean that. We were just curious why the deputy base commander, who is in charge of this matter, didn't come over."
“…”
Everyone started talking at once.
It was Sheng Fei who was curious.
After all, Sheng Fei was the beginning of the legend: the first specimen who was infected with the zombie virus but still alive and kicking.
He also led the central base to capture two cities in succession without any damage.
Base Captain Lu wasn't surprised by the current situation; he even expected these comments. He calmly explained, "The potion wasn't developed by our official base."
The voices of doubt at the scene stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at him in disbelief.
What did he say?
Wasn't the potion developed at the official base?
If they didn't research it, where did it come from?
Facing this group of confused and puzzled looks, the head of the central base calmly explained clearly.
"It was provided by Deputy Base Commander Sheng."
“!!!”
Everyone's expressions are quite wonderful.
There are shocking ones.
There are doubts.
There is exploration.
Ran Haiming was the most obvious, his eyes widened and he almost blurted out, "Did he really provide it?!"
He was the first one to guess it.
Because Sheng Fei had not joined any base for a long time since he left the base.
Everyone knew that since he brought two people with him who had no special abilities, the possibility of the base unconditionally accepting them was zero.
Even if it is accepted, it will be controversial within the base.
He joined the Central Base as a survivor when its counterattack plan against the city just started, and led the Central Base team to capture a remote small city, and then quickly became the deputy base commander of the Central Base.
At the same time, the medicine to fight the zombie virus was revealed.
This is a reminder that all the turning points of change may be because of him...
"What do you mean? Do you know that it was provided by him?" The base commander who had just spoken for him realized that something was wrong and immediately asked back.
Ran Haiming remained silent, which was considered as his agreement, "..."
When other people heard their conversation, it further confirmed the truth of what Captain Lu said.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
After a long while, someone asked in confusion, "Deputy Base Commander Sheng, where did he get it?"
"We don't know that, but one year after the apocalypse, the survivors have gradually awakened various superpowers, while Deputy Sheng Base has only had fire powers."
At this point, he glanced at Ran Haiming subtly, "Little did I know, maybe he has always had special abilities, but he didn't dare to make them public?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
yes.
So many things have changed in the end times.
Some people awaken rare spatial abilities, while others awaken multiple abilities.
But there are also people who may awaken some kind of medical abilities, who knows?
It’s just that superpowers are too rare. As long as they are not offensive, most people with superpowers will choose to keep them secret and dare not spread them.
Because people's hearts are unpredictable in the last days, keeping a trump card is the key to survival.
Sheng Fei is the best example.
If I had told the Everday Base, who knows what would have happened to me.
For a moment, everyone looked at Ran Haiming differently.
Terrible, I want to interview him to find out what he thinks now.
Such a great treasure, just because they despised and suppressed it, they let it go...
Seeing Ran Haiming's pale face, Captain Lu did not waste time on him and got straight to the point.
This was also the countermeasure they had discussed long ago.
It is difficult for an official to establish a style of nitpicking, but individuals can do it.
And this is true.
"In the apocalypse, resources are paramount. I'm sure everyone understands this, especially Base Director Ran. We can't provide potions for free; they require crystal cores in exchange. This is a rule we established after careful consideration."
"We all know why you're here today. You want to join us. We promise you that we will exchange potions for you without limit."
"As for the price, it must be less than 30,000 crystal cores."
“…”
Director Lu Ji’s statement was clearly an official one.
But Ran Haiming clearly felt that his lung tube was punctured again and again.
I felt like vomiting blood.
He kind of regretted coming here today.
Of course, I regretted listening to Chai Yun's one-sided words, turning a blind eye to Sheng Fei's departure, and even allowing them to slander him...
Ever since they learned that the medicine was provided by Sheng Fei, everyone wanted to meet Sheng Fei even more.
Even the authoritative Base Captain Lu began to doubt him. Someone couldn't help but interrupt, "Does Deputy Base Captain Sheng know about exchanging crystal cores for potions? Does he agree with this rule?"
Director Lu Ji was very satisfied with everyone's current attitude and quietly downplayed the official role, saying, "He is aware of the situation and agrees with it."
"Then how is the price calculated? It's lower than 30,000, but 29,999 is also lower. How much lower? The key is whether we have a chance of affording it!"
"Ten thousand crystal cores for one potion is not expensive. As long as everyone works together, the alliance will do its best to ensure everyone's safety."
“…”
No one cared about what was said afterwards.
Just hearing the words "10,000 crystal cores in exchange for one potion", the whole audience was in an uproar.
Not expensive?
Isn’t this expensive?
That's not a joke, that's a head-on confrontation with zombies!
What if I get scratched by zombies before I collect 10,000 crystal cores?
Knowing that the crystal core can be exchanged for life-saving potions, everyone wants to keep some protection for themselves. Would they be willing to lend it to the injured in exchange for potions?
They have no answers.
They didn't dare to think about the answer.
I just subconsciously objected and didn't accept this plan...
