Chapter 128
"Wake up, we're here."
When Lu Shiyu opened his eyes, the surrounding environment had changed and the sun had risen.
Yan Hong and Shao Xingyang lay by the door, looking down at the welcoming procession below. Yan Hong curled her lips and said, "Tsk, even a leader coming down from above would have a bigger show than this. Who are they trying to please with just this few people?"
Shao Xingyang looked around at the people below and said, "Don't be fooled by the small number of people. Actually, they are not high-ranking officials."
Chen Yunliang stuck his head out and scolded the two men for a few words. Only then did the two reluctantly sit back in their seats and wait quietly for the helicopter to land.
The people on the ground stopped talking when they heard the humming sound of the engine coming closer and closer. The helicopter suddenly hovered about ten meters above the landing point. The huge propeller wings stirred the air below frantically, causing a violent airflow, like an unformed tornado, blowing up the dust and gravel on the ground.
The small pieces of debris picked up by the air currents flew onto the faces of the people below, forcing those in suits and ties to use their sleeves to block the pebbles from flying into their eyes.
As the buzzing sound got closer, the wind gradually grew stronger, and then suddenly disappeared, startling the people who were resisting.
After lowering the sleeves that were blocking their eyes, everyone could see that the helicopters had been parked neatly on the ground, but they were not parked within the range they had planned in advance.
The people in charge of welcoming them didn't know whether the people from Dawn Base really had poor skills or wanted to give them a warning, but when the people on the helicopter got off, they still greeted them with smiles.
"Welcome, welcome. Are you the personnel selected by Dawn Base to be responsible for this exchange?"
Xu Manwen was the first to get off the helicopter. She tossed her slightly messy long hair back, showed a bright and sunny smile, and shook hands with the welcoming staff who extended their hands.
"Yes, let me introduce myself. My name is Xu Manwen, and I'm the representative of the Dawn Base for this exchange meeting. I'll be leading the team this time, and I hope we can achieve a result that satisfies both parties."
"Of course, of course," the person in charge shook Xu Manwen's hand and said, "This meeting is to promote the future development of both bases. We naturally hope to achieve a win-win situation."
"I'm Yu Dongsheng, the person in charge of the Shuguang Base for this conversation. It's a pleasure to work with you."
“It’s a pleasure to work with you.”
Several other people also got off the plane one after another and stayed in their respective positions. People of different identities pretended not to know each other and acted very seriously.
Shaoxing Yang pretended to be relaxed while carrying two heavy loads. He even felt a little strange when he saw Xu Manwen chatting and laughing with the person in charge of the Shuguang Base in front of him.
"She's not usually like this, right? How come she acts so naturally?"
Yan Hong held the scepter and whispered, "This is my job, how can I not be professional?"
Lu Shiyu got off the helicopter and followed behind the team. There were many people standing around who came to greet him as usual. Seeing this, Lu Shiyu felt a little anxious. He subconsciously wanted to get closer to Tang Zeyu who was closest to him, but when he thought about how everyone was trying hard to maintain their disguise, he gave up the idea.
Relax, relax. Lu Shiyu was very sure that no one here knew her. As long as she walked over with her head held high, no one would notice her.
This was indeed the case. Except for Xu Manwen who was walking in front, no one else even had a chance to speak. After all, the two persons in charge were the ones who were truly responsible for the conversation. The others only served as a backdrop to make the scene appear very formal.
Although the pace of life at the Dawn Base was fast, it was not yet at the level of inhumanity, so on the first day I only took everyone to visit the environment of the central area, and then took the team to the accommodation arranged for them.
Xu Manwen didn't know what the people at the Dawn Base were thinking, or whether they were sincere, but he had to admit that the living conditions were really good, much better than the environment at the Dawn Base, and there was even a 24-hour whole-house air purification device.
After the people from the Dawn Base left, several people tacitly began to look for monitoring equipment and miniature cameras in the room. It must be said that they were very experienced in this area. Just as Lu Shiyu sat down to make a pot of tea, several people came back from different rooms, and one of them had something in his hand.
Shao Xingyang, holding a string of miniature cameras with wires, said unconvincedly, "Why is mine so rudimentary? Do I look so unimportant?"
Yan Hong casually threw the device onto the table and sat on the sofa. She picked up a cup of tea, crossed her legs, and said, "Who knows? Anyway, we are definitely not the ones with the most stuff."
Tang Zeyu searched the two rooms and didn't find much. Chen Yunliang's room had three types of equipment at the same time, but they were all removed by Chen Yunliang.
Xu Manwen finally arrived after everyone in the Flying Eagle Squad had arrived. When Lu Shiyu saw what Xu Manwen was holding, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Are you going to decorate the Christmas tree?"
The long string of cameras and eavesdropping devices in Xu Manwen's hand looked like a string of LED lights, so exaggerated that it made people open their mouths wide.
Yan Hong showed an expression of astonishment and laughed: "These people really like to be smart as always."
Xu Manwen pulled over a chair and sat down, looking at Tang Zeyu: "Your hospitality at the Dawn Base is quite special."
Tang Zeyu replied without hesitation: "Mutually."
Chen Yunliang picked up the teacup and took a sip: "The crow laughs at the pig."
Seeing that he didn't get the upper hand with the words, Xu Manwen poured himself a cup of tea in boredom.
Lu Shiyu had just finished making tea when he saw that it was all gone without him even taking a sip, so he sighed and made another cup.
“I don’t know if it can proceed as planned.”
Xu Manwen, however, acted very relaxed, as if the long list of things had not been found in her room. She twirled the teacup in her hand and said, "Let's take it one step at a time. Regardless of the outcome, we still have the most powerful bargaining chip in our hands."
What Xu Manwen was talking about was the meteorite. Indeed, all these incidents started with the meteorite. Whether it was the beginning of the distortion disaster or the current human infighting, the meteorite has always been the key, acting as a catalyst to keep the situation fermenting.
Lu Shiyu asked Tang Zeyu curiously, "If we cut that meteorite directly, will it restore the Earth instantly like the previous meteorite?"
Tang Zeyu: "Maybe the result will be the same as dropping a drop of ink into water or dropping a drop of water into ink."
"Forget it then. Let's just honestly research a solution."
Lu Shiyu saw Chen Yunliang put the metal box containing the fake sample on the table and asked, "Speaking of which, since these are fake, what did you use to pretend to be a meteorite?"
Chen Yunliang said mysteriously, "Good stuff, it will make them jump for joy."
Lu Shiyu: "It doesn't sound like a good thing..."
Time passed quickly and it was noon, and a staff member led them to the cafeteria.
The internal cafeteria of the Shuguang Base is not full of delicacies, but there are delicious fish and meat for every meal, and meals are included in the employee benefits. Yan Hong and Shao Xingyang even think that free meals are much better than all the empty promises of benefits, but neither of them has any plans to take the civil service exam.
After lunch, Lu Shiyu said he wanted to go out for a walk. The staff wanted to take Lu Shiyu on a tour, but Lu Shiyu declined, saying he just wanted to go out for a walk by himself.
Lu Shiyu's application to go out was naturally noticed by others. Even though Lu Shiyu seemed to be going out alone, there were many people secretly following her, waiting to see what she would do.
Lu Shiyu walked to the door and took a tourist map in a serious manner. After going out, he found the cable car station and took the cable car for a circle above the Shuguang Base. The people following him also took the cable car for a circle.
Since I chose the longest route, which can completely pass through all places of Shuguang Base and take into account the viewing of the scenery along the way, it is particularly long.
The two groups of people rode the cable car one after the other for the entire afternoon. Lu Shiyu didn't have any tasks that needed to be completed in a hurry, so he could naturally kill time and take it easy. But the people behind him were anxious to catch something on the people in the Dawn Base. The longer they wasted time, the more anxious they became, and they all hoped that Lu Shiyu could do something.
The result was that Lu Shiyu actually did nothing except sitting in the cable car and enjoying the scenery!
On the way in the cable car, Yu Shiyu enjoyed the sightseeing cable car which was built with a lot of money. It was not only equipped with air conditioning and soft cushions, but the seats could even be adjusted into beds to lie down and sleep.
This thing has always been a pastime toy for the rich. It costs a lot of money to ride it once, and there is not much fun to play with it, so ordinary people would never consider such a cost-effective thing. Lu Shiyu had only seen the cable car running a few times on the ground before, and this was the first time he sat in it. He could look down at the structure and route of the entire Dawn Base, which is a must-see item for scenery lovers.
Fortunately, she didn't have to pay herself, she just had to swipe the universal card given by the staff.
Of course Lu Shiyu knew that there was someone behind him, but the other party couldn't do anything to him now. Thinking that the other party might be furious that he wasted their time, Lu Shiyu couldn't help laughing.
After enjoying the rare light luxury experience, Lu Shiyu got off the cable car easily. However, the people who got off later looked tired and did not feel any happiness on the cable car at all. This is probably the difference between vacation and work.
Afterwards, Lu Shiyu strolled around like a real tourist, looking around, checking in and buying souvenirs, and then went back without doing anything.
Seeing that Lu Shiyu actually went back like this, the others were completely helpless. They felt that their entire afternoon had been wasted. They were dejected and prepared to go back and get scolded.
"I'm back~"
Lu Shiyu walked into the living room happily holding a few stuffed dolls, gave one to Chen Yunliang and Yan Hong, and threw the rest to Shao Xingyang, clapped his hands and sat on the sofa.
Tang Zeyu took out a bottle of iced soda from the refrigerator and handed it to Lu Shiyu, asking, "Did you see it?"
"Yeah," Lu Shiyu put the bow headband on Tang Zeyu's head and said, "I see, they manage the store very well. I don't have to worry about anything."
When Lu Shiyu passed by her shop on the cable car, he could see it clearly. There were still a constant stream of diners and busy chefs in the shop below. Seeing that the restaurant did not become a mess because of her departure, Lu Shiyu felt relieved.
However, Lu Shiyu's trip was not just to see if his store was still alive, he had other goals.
Lu Shiyu spread out the map of Shuguang Base on the table, outlined the cable car route with a marker, and marked several points.
"These are the tallest buildings in the Dawn Base, but I don't recommend starting from these places. They're too crowded and easy to spot. Furthermore, we'll be followed the moment we step outside," Lu Shiyu said, looking at Xu Manwen. "My suggestion is to start with the local underground organization. The success rate will be higher."
