Chapter 103 "Stingy" Zhang Guoxin
After they got out of the car, Zhang Guoxin was already waiting at the door. Upon seeing Ji Yang, he immediately stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Major Ji, long time no see!"
Ji Yang returned the greeting and said, "Major Zhang, long time no see!"
After they introduced themselves one by one, Zhang Guoxin invited them into the tent and said straight to the point, "Yu Wei has just reported to me. Do you want to exchange horses?"
Ji Yang said: "Well, gasoline and diesel cannot be mined on a large scale now, so we can only use primitive means of transportation. I originally planned to exchange some with the herdsmen, but I didn't expect you to set up a base here.
Major Zhang has always disliked these trivial matters, so why did he start a base?"
Zhang Guoxin complained, "It was our commander-in-chief's order. After the earthquake, mutated lava beasts emerged, and my people suffered heavy losses. Only one in ten of the original herders on the grasslands survived. The commander-in-chief asked me to gather the remaining survivors and set up a base to deal with the Eternal Night.
You say I'm just a rough guy, how could I know these things? I can only do things according to military control. But these survivors are probably scared by the natural disaster, so it didn't take me too much effort to gather them!
I heard you were guarding City D and encountered a beast tide. I was heartbroken that the team had lost another elite, but I didn't expect you to get through it safely!"
Ji Yang spread his hands and said, "There's nothing I can do. I'll be reincarnated. I have a good friend! She came all the way to save me!"
Zhang Guoxin smiled helplessly and said, "You little girl! It seems like you've been doing well recently. You even come to tease me, your old company commander?"
Ji Yang said, "I didn't expect the old company commander to trust me so much and let me directly into the base."
Zhang Guoxin stood up, saluted Yin Shan, and said, "Thank you for saving Ji Yang. I was one of her soldiers when she joined the army. Later, I also took her to the special forces and watched her grow up step by step. In my heart, she is like my own sister!"
At that time, City D was hit by a tide of beasts. I applied to the old commander for rescue several times, but was rejected every time. Finally, I learned that Longteng Base was involved in the rescue. Fortunately, you are all safe!
Girl! I, Old Zhang, thank you! You come to change horses this time! Absolutely no problem! "
Yin Shan raised an eyebrow. This guy didn't look like a stingy person... But he still said, "Major Zhang, don't make me sound so noble. If Ji Yang hadn't passed the message to Base Commander Fang, I probably wouldn't have led anyone to rescue them.
After all, my base is small and I don't have many people, so a rescue of this scale is still very difficult for me."
Yin Shan wasn't lying. If it weren't for Ji Yang being trapped, she would never have rushed to rescue him. She was just that bad, trying not to get in the spotlight.
Ji Yang said, "Old Captain, we want to exchange horses and some cattle and sheep. I wonder what the current situation on the grassland is like?"
Zhang Guoxin said: "The mutant lava beasts only attack humans, and the grassland is vast and sparsely populated, with not many buildings, so many people actually died at the hands of the mutant lava beasts.
On the other hand, horses, cattle, and sheep, on the other hand, were not seriously harmed. I might as well tell you that these animals have also mutated, but they are still very docile. The cattle and sheep taste better than before, and the horses can be tamed better.
There is no habit of eating horse meat on the grassland, so I have a lot of horses, but I really can't exchange too many cattle and sheep for you. After all, these are food, so I will give you 5 pairs at most, and then 5 pairs of lambs and calves!
As for the terms of exchange, I don't need you to exchange anything for the horses. I'll give you 50 pairs of young horses as a thank you for saving Ji Yang! But for the cattle and sheep, I need 2,000 kilograms of food."
Hou Ting: Where's the stingy guy you promised me? And why is this guy so silly and cute? And a teenage girl?
Wang Lu: This is simply a super sale, right?
Zhang Guoxin gave them all in pairs, which proved that as long as the conditions were met, they could continue to raise them, and freedom in beef and mutton production would soon be achieved.
And 2,000 kilograms of food can last for at most a month for so many people in his base.
Yin Shan glared at Ji Yang and said, "Major Zhang, you can say this is a clearance sale. I observed on the way here that your base is mostly populated by people with special abilities, and very few ordinary people. I think most of the herdsmen on the grassland have awakened their special abilities.
"People with special abilities eat much more than ordinary people. I'm afraid your 2,000 kilograms of food won't be enough for even a month!"
Zhang Guoxin waved his hand and said, "That stinky girl Ji Yang must have told you I'm a stingy person, right? If I hadn't established this base, I could have given all this to you for free. The 2,000 kilograms of food was just to shut up those people outside!"
These animals can understand human language after mutation, so it will be easy for you to rush back! But the return journey may not be so fast!
But I guess there will be someone to pick you up, right?
Also, you don't have to feel like you're taking advantage. We're short of food, but not of food. Do you understand?"
Yin Shan nodded and said, "Yes, my people will meet us halfway. How about this, Major Zhang, we will rest here tonight, and you don't have to worry about food, we have it ourselves. Tomorrow we will return with the horses, cattle and sheep!"
Major Zhang said, "I have a cafeteria here. The food isn't very rich, but it's enough to keep you full. You can eat here! Don't bother with all the nonsense! I've already asked Yu Wei to arrange a tent. It's big enough for the four of you!"
Okay, it’s settled. It’s getting late, so you guys just go. After you’ve settled in, let Yu Wei take you to the cafeteria. I’m really too busy, so I won’t treat you specially!
There will be opportunities in the future!"
Zhang Guoxin waved them away, and the four of them didn't know what to say. They followed Yu Wei to the tent. Yu Wei said, "I'll have the orderly bring you food later! You're all beautiful women, and the people on the grassland are tough. If you can keep your faces to yourself, then please don't show up to avoid trouble!"
The four of them smiled wryly and nodded. Hou Ting said, "These soldiers are quite considerate! They even brought us food even though they were worried it would be inconvenient for us!"
Ji Yang said, "People on the grasslands are outspoken, and the old company commander knows that I have a bad temper, so the people who can play with me must have bad tempers too.
I guess they're afraid of a verbal conflict, so let's just follow the instructions!"
Yin Shan and the other two: Thank you, I feel the implication!
Wang Lu asked, "This person is so warm and generous... could there be something fishy going on?"
Hou Ting said, "No, I've been observing, and I have a feeling that Zhang Guoxin might be one of the candidates Commander-in-Chief Li wants to give us."
Yin Shan said, "Indeed, I just contacted Commander-in-Chief Li. Originally, Zhang Guoxin was to be sent to the Spark Base with Liang Ling and Li Qing, but the situation on the grassland became too complicated, so Zhang Guoxin stayed here temporarily.
Once the situation on the grassland stabilizes, he will be sent to the Fire Seed Base. Judging from our previous contact, I think there is no problem in accepting him!
And Ji Yang, your intelligence is so inaccurate! And he's a special forces soldier! It's completely out of place! I thought he'd ask for 20,000 kilograms of food, but this is all he got!?
Ji Yang said weakly: "Do you think there is a possibility... He is playing hard to get..."
Hou Ting said, "So what if she's playing hard to get? I'm also a stingy person! Do you expect her to be polite? That's even worse than the original!"
Yin Shan: ....
Wang Lu: Three middle school boys!!
