Chapter 127
"You guys want to follow us to Dawn Base? Why?"
Wu Xi tiredly grabbed his hair casually and threw the documents in his hand aside.
Tang Zeyu explained: "We need to bring experimental samples to this negotiation, right?"
"Yes, demonstrating ability is essential, otherwise those people won't be willing to compromise."
"Without our escort, who knows what accidents might happen."
Wu Xi looked up at Tang Zeyu and said, "Do you think someone will try to disrupt us along the way? That's for sure, so some of the people we've sent are responsible for ensuring safety, so don't worry about that."
"No, I'm worried about the Dawn Base," Tang Zeyu said. "The situation will definitely be more complicated than expected. There will be too many people and a mixed bag of people. The probability of something going wrong is too high, not to mention there are people with ulterior motives."
Seeing Tang Zeyu's persistence, Wu Xi asked, "Do you know something?"
Tang Zeyu was silent for a moment, then said, "Among those arrested people, there's one person I know..."
Before Tang Zeyu could finish her answer, Wu Xi waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'm getting off topic again. I won't ask any more questions. If you want to go, go ahead."
Tang Zeyu thanked him and said, "The five of us will go back together when the time comes. We need you to prepare the vehicle in advance."
After Tang Zeyu finished speaking, he wanted to go with Lu Shiyu, but was stopped by Wu Xi.
"etc."
Tang Zeyu turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Wu Xi: "Lu Shiyu is going too?"
"Is there a problem?" Tang Zeyu asked back, "She was originally from the Dawn Base, so it's only natural for her to go back with us."
Wu Xi said seriously, "Lu Shiyu is not a formal member of your team and has not received professional training, right?"
Tang Zeyu nodded: "Yes."
Wu Xi frowned, as if he had heard something very unpleasant.
"Then how dare you take her with you when you know it's dangerous to go back?"
Tang Zeyu: "Don't you think she should go with us?"
"Yes," Wu Xi said, "You didn't consider at all how much danger it would put her in if she went with you."
"You don't seem to have considered whether she is willing to stay here."
"It's much better than taking her into danger. At least I can guarantee her personal safety at Dawn Base."
Lu Shiyu was sandwiched between the two of them. Seeing that the situation seemed to be not right, he hurriedly stepped in to try to stop them.
"Tang Zeyu, please go out first." Lu Shiyu stared at Wu Xi and pushed Tang Zeyu out, saying, "I plan to talk to Wu Xi first. It's more appropriate for me to handle this matter myself."
Tang Zeyu didn't struggle and let Lu Shiyu push him out the door.
Lu Shiyu sighed, turned around and looked at Wu Xi, but his momentum weakened the moment his eyes met Wu Xi's.
Wu Xi looked at Lu Shiyu worriedly: "Are you really planning to go back to Dawn Base with the team? You don't plan to stay at Dawn Base."
Lu Shiyu held his arm and carefully chose his words, "Actually, Tang Zeyu asked me for my opinion on going back, and I did say I wanted to go back."
Seeing a hint of disappointment in Wu Xi's eyes, Lu Shiyu quickly added, "But we can still meet again in the future! When the situation stabilizes, I will come to the Dawn Base to find you."
Wu Xi asked: "Do you have any reason to go back, even if it means taking risks? Is it because of that Tang Zeyu..."
"No, no, no, it's not because of him!" Lu Shiyu explained, "I still have a store at the Shuguang Base. I've been away for too long. There are only helpers in the store. I guess if I don't go back, they won't be able to hold on any longer."
Wu Xi finally relented: "Okay, after all, your roots are still there. You can go back if you want. Whenever you want to come back, the Dawn Base will still open its doors for you."
Seeing that Wu Xi was not angry, Lu Shiyu muttered softly: "Although he does have some reasons..."
"What?"
"nothing!"
Wu Xi patted Lu Shiyu's head and said, "I thought you would like the Dawn Base and would stay here and live with me in the future. I was overthinking it and didn't ask you what you thought."
Lu Shiyu pulled Wu Xi's hand and said, "The Dawn Base is indeed very good, and you are also very good, but I also have things I want to do."
When Lu Shiyu walked out of the office, Tang Zeyu was still standing at the door waiting for her to come out.
"How did the conversation go? Did she give you any trouble?" Tang Zeyu asked.
Lu Shiyu shook his head and said with a smile: "Wu Xi treats me very well, don't worry, she won't do anything to me."
"Did she agree to let you go?"
"Um."
By the time we set off for Dawn Base, several days had passed.
None of them had much stuff, so they disguised themselves and went into battle lightly.
In order to avoid being recognized by acquaintances as soon as they landed, several people put a lot of effort into their appearance.
Yan Hong stroked his goatee and looked at his wrinkled face in the mirror with great satisfaction. He tapped the depressed Shao Xingyang with his cane and said, "Do you think I look like an old man?"
Then he took two shaky steps with the help of a cane.
Shaoxing Yang was speechless: "You act too old, you look at most 40 years old, but you act like an 80-year-old grandfather."
Yan Hong straightened up instantly when she heard that, put her hat on her head, and said, "Then show me how sincere you are."
Shaoxing Yang turned around shyly, with the two big lumps of flesh on his chest shaking.
"This material is too soft. It looks like a water ball."
Shaoxing Yang had to keep hugging his chest, otherwise the two lumps of silicone on his chest would keep shaking.
Seeing this, Yan Hong raised her eyebrows, stepped forward and pinched it twice, saying, "It's really soft, it doesn't feel like real meat at all."
"I said it was too fake, it was so annoying because it kept shaking," Shao Xingyang said, "Hey, have you had enough of this?"
Yan Hong took out a knife and said, "Since you find it troublesome, how about I cut off some of it for you?"
Shao Xingyang suddenly felt a chill on his back and quickly said, "No need! I feel fine now!"
"Come on, you're welcome."
"Who's being polite to you?"
Chen Yunliang straightened his white coat, put on a mask and gloves, and almost wrapped himself up.
Lu Shiyu looked at Tang Zeyu, who was wearing a full set of Dawn Base soldier gear, and asked, "Why am I the only one without any outfit?"
Several people have their own disguises: a middle-aged politician, a beautiful lover, a scientific researcher, and an accompanying soldier. Only she is wearing the most ordinary uniform without any disguise at all.
"The people at Dawn Base don't know you exist, so it doesn't matter whether you're disguised or not," Tang Zeyu said, putting on goggles. "Besides, your mission is to protect the real meteorite samples. Too much disguise will only hinder us."
"Hey? Me?" Lu Shiyu pointed at himself with a confused look on his face and asked, "When did you decide?"
"I've already made the decision, but I haven't said anything to prevent any problems."
Tang Zeyu put a sun hat on Lu Shiyu and said, "When we get to the Shuguang base, there will definitely be people trying to steal or rob the samples. So Chen Yunliang and I prepared a fake sample in advance. The real sample is here, and you keep it."
Lu Shiyu took it subconsciously, and then found that it was actually a thermos cup.
"This cup can block the impact of meteorites. You can store it in your special space so that no one can take it away."
When Lu Shiyu heard this, he felt it made sense and took on the task.
As the number of people accompanying him increased, Wu Xi had to pull a few craftsmen to work overnight, which resulted in the current number of helicopters, and he also did not forget to paint them with new paint.
In Wu Xi's words, you cannot lose your momentum during negotiations. Clothes make the man, and paint makes the machine.
In order to avoid suspicion, the members of the Eagle Squad sat separately.
Yan Hong, Shao Xingyang and Xu Manwen were on the same plane, Chen Yunliang, Tang Zeyu and Lu Shiyu were on another plane, and the remaining plane was occupied by people from the Dawn Base.
The helicopter took off slowly and gradually drove away from the Dawn Base. Lu Shiyu stuck her head out of the plane and waved goodbye to Wu Xi who was seeing her off below. When she sat in the helicopter and looked down, she saw the whole picture of this vibrant base for the first time.
The orderly distributed buildings and crisscrossing lines make the space, although not large, not seem closed, but present a well-organized scene.
Several people set out early in the morning, but they still couldn't reach the Dawn Base until dark, and they couldn't even see the city walls of the Dawn Base.
The driver said that they were still far away from the Dawn Base and would definitely not be able to reach it today.
After sitting for the entire day and feeling like my butt was about to tire, I felt like my soul was going to float out of my body, but I still hadn't arrived.
"Oh my god, why does it take so long?" Lu Shiyu rubbed his face in frustration and said, "It's even more tiring than taking the green train."
At least she could move around a little on the green train, but she was now strapped to her seat by a seat belt, so she couldn't even stand up, let alone move.
Chen Yunliang, who was sitting opposite him, tilted his head upwards, as if he had fallen asleep long ago. Even in sleep, he did not forget to hold his fake sample.
The fake sample was placed in the metal box that was salvaged by several people. Its difficult-to-open nature added a bit of authenticity to it, and it also prevented it from being discovered to be a fake immediately after being stolen.
The others were almost asleep, but Lu Shiyu couldn't sleep because he was feeling really uncomfortable. The braid on the back of his head felt uncomfortable and it made his hair come loose, but the result was just better than nothing.
Unable to sleep, Lu Shiyu looked up at the moon outside. It was almost full at this time. Lu Shiyu remembered that the first day she entered the base and the day she got her superpowers were also full moon nights. Now she was going back to the Dawn Base with a mission, and another full moon was bidding her farewell.
It's not that she is narcissistic. Sometimes she really feels that she has a destiny with the full moon. The full moon is always with her in almost every major event of her life.
While Lu Shiyu was still immersed in admiring the beauty of the moon, he suddenly felt someone poking his shoulder.
"You're still awake?"
When Lu Shiyu turned around, he was relieved to find that it was Tang Zeyu.
"I can't sleep."
The two people's voices were deliberately lowered when they talked, for fear of disturbing other people's sweet dreams.
"Is it because you are sitting uncomfortably?"
"Yeah, a little."
Tang Zeyu took off his coat, folded it neatly, and placed it under Lu Shiyu's butt.
"Sleep with me, maybe you'll feel more comfortable."
Lu Shiyu subconsciously avoided Tang Zeyu's gaze, leaned his head on Tang Zeyu's shoulder, and suddenly smiled after a while.
"Pfft, can you relax a little? It's too hard."
Tang Zeyu then realized that he was too tense, causing his muscles to subconsciously exert force. He tried to adjust himself and asked after a while, "Are you feeling better now?"
"Much better," Lu Shiyu leaned sideways against Tang Zeyu, his voice getting softer and softer. "So riding a helicopter is so tiring. Let me rest for a while..."
