Jiang Mi resisted the urge to roll his eyes, "Secondary power? That's impossible. If you're still not awake, just go to sleep again."
What decent person would second his own researcher?
What’s the matter? Are you afraid that others won’t be able to steal your technology?
She felt that there was no way Gu Qi didn't know this, but he brought it up anyway, which clearly showed that he had other requirements.
Gu Qi didn't comment on her sarcastic words, but just shrugged and said, "Ms. Jiang, we are discussing and negotiating, but you can't do this or that. I think we can't continue the discussion."
Jiang Mi gritted his teeth secretly, narrowed his eyes and sneered: "Mr. Gu, are you taking me for a fool? I'm too lazy to beat around the bush with you guys, just tell me directly, what exactly do you need to do to give the person to us?"
Gu Qi raised his hand and touched his chin, then said slowly, "Forty potions, plus if you develop a better awakening potion in the future, we should have the priority to purchase it!"
Jiang Mi only thought for a second before saying, "Thirty, plus the right of first refusal."
Her calmness made Gu Qi narrow his eyes slightly. He didn't know what he was thinking about. After a moment, he smiled and said, "Okay! Deal!"
"When will the transaction take place?" Jiang Mi couldn't wait any longer.
She and her brother have already collected all the materials to make the perfect awakening potion. They just need to take them back and let Xing Shaoan and Liu Ji research them. She will then be able to awaken and become a mutant. From then on, she will no longer need to rely too much on her brother, and she will be able to explore the forest in the space more deeply.
"Any time is fine." Gu Qi looked down at the watch on his wrist, "But it's too late today. Let's meet here at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. I'll bring the person to you."
Jiang Mi glanced at the sky and it was indeed getting dark. A dozen people was not a small number and it was too dangerous at night. She and her brother might not be able to take care of them all. If something dangerous happened, it would be bad to lose so many people.
Besides, even if we get the people today, we can’t bring them back. It would be better to let Gu Qi take care of them for another night and take those researchers to Liu Ji’s laboratory tomorrow.
After confirming the time, Jiang Mi turned around and left with Jiang Xun.
At night, Jiang Mi was pouring lake water into the test tubes in the space. There wasn't much left in his hand, so he just poured in a hundred tubes this time.
After watering the flowers, I went back to the orchard. I hadn't paid much attention to them in recent days, but now I saw that most of the flowers had begun to wither. The petals were scattered all over the ground, forming a pink and white flower path. The original color was almost invisible.
The fruits on some of the trees are already as big as soybeans, but most of them are still barely visible.
However, the watermelon has grown to the size of a football. Jiang Mi patted it and felt that it was not ripe yet, so he planned to wait a few more days to see. The strawberries have grown into fruits the size of a little finger nail, so it should not be long before they can be eaten.
As for the pineapples, cantaloupes, dragon fruits, cantaloupes, honeydew melons and the like, she just glanced at them roughly and couldn't really tell what stage they were at. But after calculating the date, she still fetched water and watered every plot of land.
Because the soil moisture is quite good, although it has never rained in space, the soil seems to never lack water. These fruit trees have been watered once since the day they were planted, and this is the second time they have been watered.
She was also afraid that if she watered them too much, they would kill these precious fruit trees.
The night passed quickly.
Early the next morning, Jiang Mi packed up and went to the agreed place with Jiang Xun.
By the time he got there, Gu Qi hadn't arrived yet. Looking at the watch, it was only half past nine. Jiang Miqiang suppressed his excitement and waited quietly. But after a while, he saw a group of people appear not far away. Most of them were wearing white coats. Several men with guns were guarding around them. Walking in the front were Gu Qi and Zhong Li, dressed in black.
"Ms. Jiang, I've brought everyone here." As he approached, Gu Qi looked at her and said with a smile, "But Miss Jiang is really anxious. She came so early."
Jiang Mi glanced at the group of researchers and found that they were in good spirits, but most of them looked tired and frightened.
After counting silently, there were seventeen people in total. There was no problem with the number of people. Jiang Mi handed the silver box in his hand to Gu Qi, "Thirty sticks, check for yourself."
Gu Qi took it, opened it and took a look. After a moment, he snapped the box shut, stretched out his right hand and said with a smile: "It's a pleasure to work with you, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Mi did not refuse this time. He smiled and shook his hand. "It's a pleasure to work with you."
Gu Qi was very gentlemanly this time. He just touched her lightly and then let go. He then stood up straight and said seriously, "Then how can we cooperate on another medicine?"
Jiang Mi said calmly, "I don't know exactly when the research will be completed. Once the research is completed, I will send someone to the Southwest Second Survivor Base to find you."
Unexpectedly, Gu Qi shook his head and said, "No need to go to the southwest. Winter will be my base from now on. If you want to find me, just go directly to the Winter Base."
Jiang Mi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Gu Qi actually occupied the Winter Base. Was he trying to break away from the southwest or what? And why was Zhong Li always involved with him?
There are too many mysteries, and Jiang Mi is too lazy to guess. It has nothing to do with her anyway. If Gu Qi really wants to rebel against the southwest, it doesn’t matter if he succeeds. If he fails and dies, the deal will be canceled.
"Okay, in that case, we'll take our leave first." Jiang Mi nodded.
Gu Qi looked back at the researchers behind him and said, "There are so many of you. Miss Jiang, don't you want me to send someone to escort you?"
Jiang Mi smiled slightly, "Thank you, but it's not necessary."
Gu Qi shrugged, "Well, I wish you a safe journey."
After that, he turned around and raised his voice to the group of researchers behind him, "Everyone, follow these two and leave. They will take you in from now on!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the researchers were immediately in an uproar.
It's just because there are more than just Jiang Mi and Jiang Xun, and they don't even seem to have any decent weapons. Compared with the large number of fully armed people on Gu Qi's side, there is no sense of security no matter how you look at it. Is there really a chance of survival following these two people?
No matter what these people thought, after Gu Qi finished speaking, he waved his hand and turned away with his men.
Jiang Mi looked at the group of people and asked, "Who is Academician Zhang Lide?"
The crowd was whispering and talking to each other. After a while, an old man with gray hair, glasses, and a hunched body raised his hand with the help of people around him, "It's me."
Jiang Mi looked over and saw an old man who looked to be in his sixties standing trembling in the crowd, with a rather unsightly look on his face.
"I am your student Xing Shaoan and a friend of Liu Ji. I have come to pick you up. Please follow me. I will take you to a safer place."
Academician Zhang was startled when he heard these two names, then he pushed his glasses up with trembling hands and asked in a hoarse voice: "Is Xiao Xing safe now?" (End of this chapter)
