Chapter 669 The Secret of the Jade Base
"No, I'm not wrong in this matter." Leng Ning said hurriedly.
Yang Gang remained bent and did not stand up.
Leng Ning was just about to say something else when he heard Yang Qiang laugh.
“Haha, since Hall Master Leng has forgiven you, get up.”
"Thank you, Chief." Yang Gang then stood up.
Leng Ning glanced at Yang Qiang who had a kind expression, and then at Yang Gang who had a serious expression, and thought that this leader Yang Qiang must not be as simple as he seemed.
"It's good that the misunderstanding has been resolved. Young Master Lei, Hall Master Leng, let's sit down and talk." Yang Qiang said to Lei Ting and Lei Ning with a smile.
"Yeah." Lei Ting responded and followed Yang Qiang to sit aside.
Leng Ning sat next to Lei Ting.
Yang Qiang just gave Yang Gang a look, and he went to make tea on his own.
"Our place is remote and we haven't had any guests for a long time." Yang Qiang said with a sigh.
Leng Ning was slightly stunned.
That shouldn't be the case. Space jade is such a good thing, the demand for it should be huge.
"By the way, I don't know how you know about us and the Jade Base." Yang Qiang said and looked at Leng Ning.
After what happened just now, he had realized that Lei Ting was no longer talkative, so it would be more convenient to ask Leng Ning.
"The map given to me by the Southern Army Base." Leng Ning replied directly.
Yang Qiang's expression froze slightly.
"It turns out to be the Southern Army base." He then muttered.
Seeing Leng Ning's suspicious expression, Yang Qiang hurriedly said, "We did cooperate with the Southern Army Base before."
"You just said that you haven't been to the Southern Army Base for a long time?" Leng Ning looked at Wang Qiang inquiringly.
It hasn't been long since the Southern Army base lost all its helicopters, so that may not match what Wang Qiang just said, "no one has come for a long time."
Thinking back to the fact that the two old guys, Han Guodong and Commander Chen, had concealed the fact that there were dangerous zombies here, Leng Ning became alert and realized that this matter might not be that simple.
"Hehe, actually it didn't take long... just a month or so." Yang Qiang smiled awkwardly.
Leng Ning's eyes changed slightly.
"Mr. Yang may not know that almost a month ago, all the helicopters at the Southern Army Base fell into my hands." Leng Ning looked at Yang Qiang, his eyes already filled with sharpness.
Why lie? What are you trying to hide?
Yang Qiang's face froze.
"I said that no one would come from the Southern Army base, but it turned out to be..." Yang Qiang looked at Leng Ning and Lei Ting with a little more fear in his eyes.
All the helicopters at the Southern Army base are in their hands. What does this mean?
I'm afraid the Southern Army base no longer exists...
In this apocalypse, the zombie threat is not the only thing. The surviving human bases are also threatening each other.
There are cases of bullying and conflicts between bases in order to grab survival supplies.
"The reason they didn't come is not because they couldn't come, but because they had already changed places to buy space jade." Leng Ning looked at Yang Qiang and said.
This is actually just her guess, but it is very likely.
According to information from City B, the Southern Army Base previously had a business of selling space jade.
Those space jade artifacts naturally could not have been produced by them themselves, they could only have been purchased from outside.
When she asked Han Guodong and Commander Chen to give her the address of the origin of the space jade, the two told her without much hesitation.
Leng's business has spread to City B. If she knew the origin of the space jade, it would inevitably affect the business of the Southern Army Base.
The two people were able to tell her the address of the jade base so readily, probably because they had already found a new base that could sell space jade.
It is true that this Heyu base can produce space jade, but it is in a very dangerous place. They told her that it was not a big loss for them.
Yang Gang's face turned pale.
"There are several cities in China that produce jade, and you are not the only base that can provide space jade." Leng Ning continued.
At this point, she had basically confirmed her guess.
"What do you mean by this?!" Yang Gang, who was serving tea, spoke up, looking at Leng Ning with an extremely unfriendly look.
But Yang Qiang did not stop him.
Leng Ning raised the corner of his lips, "It's nothing, I just want to hear Mr. Yang tell the truth."
Leng Ning once again looked at Yang Qiang, "To be honest, we came here because we were deliberately led by the Southern Army Base. We haven't found any other base that can supply space jades yet."
"Whether Mr. Yang is willing to tell us the truth today or not, I will definitely place the order. But I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue the follow-up cooperation. After all, I would rather spend more time looking for a stable and reliable partner than doing business in an unclear way."
"For us, it's just a matter of spending more time, but for the Heyu Base, the environment here is dangerous, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for anyone to come here again." They came here because they were tricked by the Southern Army Base, but others would not do that.
To put it bluntly, it is true that the Heyu Base has good things, but other places can also provide such good things, and the environment is safer. Anyone with a brain will know who to cooperate with.
Yang Qiang's face froze.
He reached out to stop Leng Ning from continuing.
"I understand what Hall Master Leng means." Then he sighed.
"I am willing to explain the situation to you. I can also give you the space jade at a price lower than the market price."
"Leader——" Yang Gang immediately called out to Yang Qiang.
Yang Qiang stretched out his hand and stopped Yang Gang from speaking any further.
"Master Leng, you are right. If you don't cooperate with us in the future, we and the Jade Base will most likely be trapped here."
Leng Ning's eyes flickered slightly. Trapped to death here? This statement was more serious than she had just thought.
"In fact, there were more than ten bases that had cooperated with us before, but just over five months ago, they successively proposed to reduce the price to purchase our space jade."
"At the time I thought they were deliberately trying to lower the price, so I rejected them. I thought they would come back, but later they actually didn't come."
"It was not until the last customer came more than two months ago that I realized they had indeed found a new base to purchase goods. Although the prices there are higher than ours, the surrounding environment is much safer than here." Yang Qiang said with a complicated expression.
He even suspected that the customer had made up a lie to deceive him in order to bargain with him, because the quantity he ordered was really large that time.
At that time, he did make some concessions on the price, but who would have thought that he would disappear afterwards.
It was not until another month passed that he slowly realized that what the customer said was true.
When their prices are not absolutely competitive with others, customers are really unwilling to take risks here. It is very likely that the base that can provide space jade like them really exists.
Although they bought three helicopters from previous partners, they rarely used them.
The situation in Jiang City is special. None of the survivors around the jade mine have awakened their special powers, which means that they and everyone in the jade base are ordinary people.
