Xiao Qi: “…” We really can’t be careless at all.
How did I end up provoking her? I don’t remember provoking her before.
Jiang Wenxi's expression was sincere: "Don't feel guilty, Commander Xiao. It's normal to remember it wrongly. After all, you have a lot of things to do. I have already commissioned a decoration team. You just need to pay the bill. It's my next-door neighbor. I like the decoration style of his house very much."
Fang Huaizhi didn't know who Jiang Wenxi had met, but he knew the renovations were definitely not cheap.
Xiao Qi: “······” He was in debt without saying a word.
Liang Runwen had a headache. He had been so busy with the renovation that he hadn't put it on the agenda. Naturally, he couldn't let Xiao Qi be the one to do it. He coughed lightly and said, "Girl, the base will be renovated uniformly."
The smile on Jiang Wenxi's face faded a little: "Commander, I like the decoration style of my neighbor's house. It's already decided. People should not go back on their words."
It's a double entendre. We had promised them before that if they were able, they would provide help to the best of their ability. Based on cooperation, we would not make things difficult for them.
Judging from the way he came in just now, it was obviously not the case. He must have made some excessive demands, and Brother Fang did not agree to them.
As soon as Jiang Wenxi finished speaking, the office fell into a strange silence, and Liang Runwen frowned.
Xiao Qi was sweating in his heart. Jiang Wenxi was simply courting death. She spoke without considering the other party's identity. She really thought he was an ordinary person. He was the commander.
"Commander, if the base doesn't intend to pay for the renovations, you can just tell me. I can still afford it."
Rugui was just testing the waters before, and this is a naked provocation. Of course, it doesn't count in Jiang Wenxi's eyes. At most, it's just put it out in the open, after all, it was agreed upon before.
Liang Runwen glanced at the two of them. Fang Huaizhi said nothing, but his attitude was very clear. He was definitely on Jiang Wenxi's side.
After a long time, he said, "Girl, you're joking. Since you like it, I'll do as you say."
Jiang Wenxi's expression changed instantly, with a smile on her face: "I knew you were the best, Commander."
A few dry laughs concealed the awkwardness and eased the atmosphere in the room.
Jiang Wenxi felt it necessary to point out: "Commander, we encountered many infected people on the way here, and we also encountered some zombies where we lived before. I think Commander Xiao must have reported it."
Although Liang Runwen was curious about why Jiang Wenxi suddenly changed the subject, he also knew the importance of the matter.
"I heard about it."
Wanting to see what Jiang Wenxi had to say, Liang Runwen didn't say much.
"We've taken some samples and found that the virus can't be easily killed. I'm wondering, if we're attacked by an infected person, will we be held accountable if we kill them?"
Liang Runwen was stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Wenxi to ask this. He pondered for a moment and said, "The base still advocates not harming the enemy. If their lives are truly in danger, they can be killed."
"Will I get paid if I catch an infected person? Is there a reward?"
Xiao Qi: “······” This woman is obsessed with money.
Liang Runwen breathed a sigh of relief. He also thought that Jiang Wenxi was doing it for money. Jiang Wenxi had shown that she loved money before, so he understood why she had such thoughts.
"We are still studying it and a plan will be formulated soon."
Jiang Wenxi said with a hint of regret: "Is that so? Commander, on the way here, I noticed there were no infected people on the road to the base. Has the base developed any special medicine to control the disease?"
Fang Huaizhi said nothing, feeling that Xixi was going to do something big again. Could it be that she had caused trouble in the base again during this period of time?
Liang Runwen didn't want to reveal too much: "They are all receiving treatment in the hospital and their conditions are under control at the moment."
The smile on Jiang Wenxi's face had disappeared. "That puts my mind at ease. After all, according to Sister Wanwan's blood test, the longer she's been infected with the virus, the more she'll become like a wild animal. If we're locked up together, it'll explode sooner or later, triggering a major crisis."
"We came to the base out of concern, but after arriving, we found the base to be normal. Were we overthinking it, or was the commander managing the base well?"
Liang Runwen looked at Jiang Wenxi with sharp eyes. What did she know?
There was nothing unusual on Jiang Wenxi's face, her eyes were innocent and clear, as if she was just saying it casually, and Fang Huaizhi had not asked too much about these things before.
It was pure coincidence that he could say such a thing. They wouldn't know since he hadn't been to the base for so long. He had already tried to test them during the conversation just now.
Xiao Qi asked nervously, "Has Miss Luo developed an antidote for the virus?"
Jiang Wenxi rolled her eyes, her tone tinged with sarcasm. "How can it be that easy? Sister Wanwan simply compared the blood samples of the infected with the zombie virus and found that the virus changes very quickly in the body. It will change again after entering the human body, and it can even change human genes in the later stages. Researching it is very complicated and may be a long-term research process."
"I'm not just curious. What if there are smart people in the base? Sister Wanwan can learn a thing or two."
This news was definitely not good. Liang Runwen's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly, and his face was gloomy. He was under a lot of pressure, but he couldn't tell anyone about it.
Xiao Qi hesitated: "What else did Miss Luo say?"
"That's all Sister Wanwan told me. She's currently staying in the lab all day, trying to find the source of the virus and create an antidote. She wants to prevent those infected from becoming complete zombies, but the virus is spreading too quickly, and there hasn't been much progress in research so far. Prevention is the only option."
Xiao Qi knew everything Jiang Wenxi said, and the research institute also said the same thing. This was a virus that had never been seen before. Research would take time, but the infected people didn't have much time.
The initial infected people have already lost consciousness and it won’t be long before they can no longer be controlled.
"Commander, we should go back now. It will be dark if we are any later."
Fang Huaizhi stood up, exchanged a few words of greeting and walked behind. After Jiang Wenxi's commotion, his problems became less important.
Xiao Qi didn't see them off this time. He stood in front of the window and watched them walk away before turning around: "Commander, did they hear anything?"
"Probably not. Go over to the research institute and urge them."
Xiao Qi nodded in agreement, still worried: "But those infected people detained at the back are a big problem. If we can't develop a new one, the first ones to be infected will be almost out of control."
Liang Runwen sighed heavily: "Pass it on and hold a meeting in an hour."
They wanted to save more people, but reality did not allow it. Giving up on them was a difficult decision.
When they reached the no-man's land, Fang Huaizhi asked, "Have you found where the infected are being held?"
"I found it but didn't go in. However, I had an unexpected gain. I met Su Qing."
Fang Huaizhi laughed out loud: "He is the decoration team you found."
Jiang Wenxi smiled brightly: "I can guess this. I didn't expect Qin Gou to have a villa at the base, and we're neighbors."
Fang Huaizhi sighed: "This is really a bad fate."
"Who said it wasn't? It will be inconvenient to put on the sack in the future."
If something happens, they will definitely be the first to be suspected.
