Chapter 178 Deal
Youxi didn't expect that the other party would arrange the meeting place outside.
This is an open space far away from the base. Not long after Youxi arrived in the RV, the other party's car also arrived.
"Sorry, it's not that I won't let you enter the base, but... you will be safer here." The man with a stern face was lying on a stretcher and was carried out of the military truck by several team members.
He was seriously injured. Youxi could sense it just by smell. Even if he was wrapped in a protective suit, the smell of blood was still very strong.
The first sentence of the other party seemed to reveal some information.
So what he meant was that if she entered the base, there might be danger?
What kind of danger could there be in the base?
Such an impregnable underground air-raid shelter, animals and plants could not enter, there were only people inside. Therefore, the only dangerous factor for her is human beings themselves.
You Xi pulled the corner of her lips lightly. She had expected this kind of thing. Human beings are the most complex race. The difference between individuals can reach the altitude difference between Peak Z and Trench M. There are many people in the management level in a base. There are those who are selfless for the people, and there are also those who think about their own selfish motives. How can everyone agree?
This is also the reason why she always shows herself as someone else after opening the RV shop.
She and her parents will indeed leave with the simulated apartment and go to another place on this planet when the time comes, but the communication is not completely cut off now. If the official or someone with a purpose confirms her personal information and unites to find her, it is not impossible.
She didn't want to hide her appearance when she went out in the future, so she could only let the owner of "Xingxingwu" live in legend.
Perhaps because Zhao Xuefei had greeted her, Zhou Ningyuan was a little surprised when he saw her for the first time, but he didn't ask much about her appearance.
The other party knew that she had proposed to meet after talking about the seed problem, so naturally he attached great importance to this meeting.
"Is it 'safe' for us to meet here?" The safety she mentioned here certainly has more than one meaning.
"Don't worry, no one knows I left the base, and there won't be any problems without a 'tail' following me. Sorry, my injury hasn't healed yet and I can't stay outside for long, so I'll get straight to the point. Do you have a way to go through the 'Death Valley' to the seed warehouse in Changcheng?"
After all, the other party can disappear in an instant with the car and the person. After asking several of his team members for scientific popularization, he guessed that the other party should have awakened the ability of teleportation or space.
"I can go to the seed warehouse, but the situation in Changcheng is so bad, there is no need to take the risk." She only has a way to deal with plants. If there are too many mutant animals there, it will be very troublesome for her to deal with it alone. It's not completely impossible, but it will consume star tools and physical strength.
When Zhou Ningyuan heard this, his hopeful mood suddenly dropped, but he was usually serious and would not show his emotions on
his face no matter how big the fluctuations were. On the contrary, the team members who helped carry the load out did not understand why the other party said that they could go to the seed warehouse, but at the same time said that there was no need to go.
Was he making fun of them?
Several people could not help but want to speak several times, but their captain did not say anything. No matter how many emotions they had in their hearts, they would not speak beyond the captain at this time.
You Xi sensed the fluctuations of the other party's emotions, deliberately paused for a long time, and then continued: "I have the seeds you want here, there is no need to go to Changcheng."
Zhou Ningyuan:...? !
In the Storm Fragment World, she visited all the seed warehouses on the Lushan Peninsula in the past ten years and collected a large number of original and second-generation seeds, with a wide variety of species.
Later, their cruise base cooperated with the government to form a scientific research team to develop and cultivate new seeds, continuously shortening the maturity cycle and increasing production again and again.
So from the mid-term, all the seeds planted in the base were newly cultivated short-cycle high-yield varieties, and the massive original and second-generation seeds she collected from several seed warehouses were naturally eliminated.
Because these seeds do not take up space, and each bag was found by her in person by diving into the water, which was hard-won, so she has kept them all the time, classified them in different cartons, and organized them in an orderly manner.
As long as she sensed the Xingwu warehouse a little, she would know exactly what kinds of crop seeds she had, how many there were, how many original seeds there were, and how many second-generation seeds there were.
She also collected some of the new seeds cultivated by the base's scientific research team. It can be said that the seeds she had here were definitely several times the quantity and quality of the seeds in Changcheng.
"Are you willing to... provide me with your seeds?" Zhou Ningyuan frowned and looked at the other party. This news was too shocking.
"No, not to provide, but to trade. Barter, but this time, I'm the one proposing the trade, and I have specific things I want."
"What do you want to exchange?"
You Xi paused again, looking at the other party as if she was thinking.
This time, not only Zhou Ningyuan, but even the team members next to her waited patiently for her answer. But Youxi asked the others to step away temporarily, as she had to talk about this part with Zhou Ningyuan alone.
After a moment, Youxi said, "First of all, I want to know how much power you and your father have in this base."
**
In terms of materials, even weapons, Youxi has everything.
Even if only a part of those seeds are taken out, it should be able to solve the base's planting plan.
She only helped a small number of people through sporadic bartering in those private shelters. Even if she gave them seeds, they would never be able to open up new planting areas on a large scale and with a plan like the base.
So this transaction was half for the people she knew, and half for those she didn't know.
But those who wanted to threaten her were not included in this part of the people she didn't know.
If Zhou and his son cannot gain control of the base, then she suggests that they take their troops to build a new base in another place. She has information provided by plants and knows where is suitable for building a shelter. She can also assist.
Of course, if they can take control of the base, the same is true.
The above is the first requirement of the transaction: a harmonious environment.
Compared with the first point, the remaining requirements are almost insignificant.
"There is a team of survivors who left the original shelter because they were framed by other powerful teams for stealing. They want to join other shelters, but because the proportion of the elderly, the weak and the disabled in the team is relatively high, it is temporarily shelved."
"No problem, the base can accept them, and will provide supplementary materials to the elderly and children." Zhou Ningyuan nodded immediately.
"As for the third requirement of the transaction, I want to transfer it to another person, as a promise. When she needs it and asks for it, you must promise to do everything you can to help her complete it."
Zhou Ningyuan was silent for a moment: "Zhao Xuefei?" Apart from her, he couldn't think of anyone else.
You Xi looked at Zhao Xuefei who was waiting not far away with other team members, and nodded: "Yes. But the second and third points are based on the first point. I don't have that much time for you to think about it slowly. Three days - these three days are used to give you a little recovery from your injuries. At least next time we meet, you won't have to come to see me lying down. After three days, you tell me whether this deal is done or not."
"How can I believe that what you said is true?"
"This deal was originally an adventure. You need to take risks, and I am also taking risks." A harmonious environment or a promise are all intangible things. He would worry that she could not take the seeds out of her mouth, but she would also doubt whether he could keep his promise and whether he would continue to provide supplementary supplies for the elderly and the weak after accepting Wei Jie's team.
Therefore, it depends on the transaction object itself.
Although she doesn't know Zhou Ningyuan, at least he is willing to take risks for the people's food. When the team is in danger, he lets his brothers go first, and he stays behind to cover and almost loses his life.
Just for this reason, she is willing to take the risk. After
You Xi finished speaking, he reached out to take off the backpack behind him, took out a small bag of heavy things from it and put it on his stretcher: "This is a sample, and it can also be used as a deposit. Three days, I will go to the vicinity of the base again in three days."
"After three days, maybe I will give you a result directly."
You Xi raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Are you serious?"
Zhou Ningyuan nodded.
From the several transaction requirements put forward by the other party, it can be seen that no matter what his (her) purpose is, he (she) is not for himself (herself). These requirements are all for others, for those ordinary people.
Therefore, he is willing to take risks.
Zhou Ningyuan looked at the other party and said slowly: "So far, you are a very good person. I hope you can fulfill your promise."
"I never break my promise. I swear on my 'Star House'." After Youxi finished speaking, he did not stop and walked towards Zhao Xuefei.
Seeing this, the other team members stepped forward to meet Zhou Ningyuan, and Zhao Xuefei followed her and took two steps towards the RV: "Are you done?"
"Yeah, almost." You Xi nodded, and also reached into her pocket, took out a box of donuts and handed it to her, "I probably won't be here these few days, but the friend I mentioned before wants to see you. Do you have time tomorrow? Can I take two days off?"
"Yes, I have vacation time, and I saved a lot of money that I haven't used yet."
"Okay, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, she will wait for you at the side gate of Luohai Avenue near the park we met last time."
**
At this time, You Xi was planning to take Zhao Xuefei to the beach for camping and barbecue the next day, and she didn't expect that Zhou Ningyuan was much more decisive than she thought.
Especially when he was carried back to the military truck by the team members, opened the bag on the shelf, and saw a bag full of original seeds.
These are rice seeds, each of which is well preserved.
That night, a secret meeting took place somewhere in the base, and the initiator was a strong supporter of Zhou's father and son. Three days later, inside the base, a small-scale thunder operation was launched silently.
Including the deputy base commander, along with his confidants, supporters, and defenders, all were restrained at the same time.
The experimental data on mutant plants and animals and human bodies in the computer were found out, and the siege of the Changcheng laboratory by mutant animals made them the negative factors that caused the base to repeat the same mistakes and go to destruction.
In the current situation, such negative factors are the fatal cancer of the base.
The base commander was originally a conservative neutral. What he needed were factors that could truly enable the base to develop stably and grow.
Zhou Guochen once brought a large amount of supplies and well-trained troops to the base. This was the reason why he valued the other party, but this alone was not enough to make him completely stand on the side of the Zhou family father and son.
Zhou Ningyuan knew this very well. In the past, he was powerless and could not give the things he wanted most, but now, he has it.
He knew that he was taking a risk. Once the mysterious owner of the Star House regretted or lied, he and his father would be in trouble.
But they came from the army, and the last thing they feared was adventure. At worst, they could not stay here, so they took the troops and established another base somewhere else.
All their peaceful days now were earned by their own hands, so even if they failed, they would just have to start over.
But fortunately, the person who proposed the deal to him was You Xi. She not only had ordinary seeds, but also short-cycle high-yield varieties improved in the Storm World. She even provided him with a notebook, which listed several mutant plants that could be utilized and used, which could replace medicines, which could be eaten, and which had special effects.
You Xi got the inspiration for this notebook from Sister Wei. She did not waste her expertise and even drew the details of the plants for the other party.
Of course, this is a later story.
And at this moment, it was the date she had agreed to meet with Zhao Xuefei.
She arrived at the agreed location ahead of time. Today was March 23rd, which was also Zhao Xuefei's birthday.
Zhao Xuefei asked the team members to park the electric vehicles near the agreed location, and walked towards the side gate of the park alone with her backpack. From a distance, before she arrived, she saw a huge vehicle parked at the side gate.
In comparison, the RV of the "Star House" looked exactly like a toy car.
This is a huge off-road RV with a rough body color and tires that are half as tall as her. It has obviously been modified.
She took two slow steps towards the RV, a little unsure whether the person who wanted to see her was in this car.
Suddenly, the driver's door of the RV was pushed open.
