Chapter 176 Irony, Suspicion
When Hou Ting heard that someone was coming to cause trouble, she was very excited and immediately went to the gate of the base. She wanted to know why these people came to see Yin Shan.
Tang Xiao knew something exciting was about to happen when she saw Hou Ting coming. She pretended to be distressed and said, "Captain Hou, someone from the official base in City M is visiting and wants to see the base commander, but the base commander has previously issued a clear order not to see outsiders... Your subordinate..."
Hou Ting was amused, but said calmly, "M City? Why are you coming to our place if you're not staying in M City?"
Seeing Tang Xiao's respectful attitude, Wang Yan immediately put on a smile and said, "Captain Hou, our base commander thanks Base Commander Yin for providing the vaccine ratio and specially arranged for me to come and express my gratitude. I hope to meet with Base Commander Yin."
Hou Ting asked, "You? Are you the second-in-command of your base?"
Wang Yan was stunned and shook his head, "No, I'm the secretary of Base Director Wu."
Hou Ting sneered, "Secretary, you want to meet the head of our base? Are you crazy? Huh? What's the matter? Is your official base in City M special?"
Wang Yan's face turned grim. Was Hou Ting mocking him for having a low rank and being unworthy of meeting Yin Shan?
The Spark Base was just a private base. Before the apocalypse, as the leader's secretary, he was perfectly capable of representing the leader. Why wouldn't he be able to meet with the head of a small private company? And now this person had the audacity to speak so brazenly? He was saying he wasn't worthy?
But despite his grim expression, he still remembered his original purpose and said with a smile, "Captain Hou, you're joking. I'm really here to express my gratitude, and I've brought a gift. It's cosmetics specially for Base Commander Yin. Why don't you pass it on for me? Maybe Base Commander Yin will agree to see me."
Hou Ting's expression was exaggerated: "Cosmetics?!"
When Wang Yan saw Hou Ting's expression, he felt that she was very moved, so he said, girls all love beauty. Captain Hou looks very powerful, doesn't he like these things too?
But Hou Ting's next words made him unable to maintain the expression on his face any longer.
Hou Ting asked, "How many years has it been since the apocalypse? You still have cosmetics? Did you collect them just before the apocalypse? This stuff has been sitting there for years and is no longer usable. How dare you give it to our boss?!"
Also, if this was made after the apocalypse, then you guys are pretty amazing. Right now, people are short of food and clothing everywhere, and you're not doing anything serious but making this shit! ?
How does your base leader have a brain?"
Wang Yan angrily shouted, "That's enough! Who do you think you are? I came here with good intentions to express my gratitude, but you are sarcastic and mocking me. The Spark Base is really arrogant and doesn't take our other bases seriously at all!
Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell Commander-in-Chief Li!?”
Hou Ting and Tang Xiao looked at each other sympathetically. What's wrong with this guy? Why does he give people the feeling of "Don't leave after school"?
But thinking that it was not appropriate to confront the military now, Hou Ting said, "If Commander-in-Chief Li personally requested that our base commander meet you, then please bring your order with you. We have the right to refuse a rash visit. Tang Xiao, please show me around."
What she didn't say was that even if you came with orders, she wouldn't see you!
Wang Yan left with a grim expression. At this moment, another group of people arrived. Wang Yan stepped forward to greet them, "Which base are you from? This Spark Base is very overbearing. They said they would only open the gates after receiving a clear order from Commander-in-Chief Li."
The person opposite was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "Really? Then I'll give it a try!"
After that, he walked forward and said, "Tang Xiao, long time no see?"
Tang Xiao looked at him and immediately became happy: "Hey? Colonel Tang! You're here? Commander Chen?"
Tang Guowei smiled and said, "Commander Chen asked me to come and thank Major General Yin. Is she available? If not, Aunt Guan or anyone else will do!"
Tang Xiao almost broke down and said, "Please come in, Aunt Guan is here!"
Wang Yan became even angrier and shouted, "You're just a gatekeeper! How could he get in? Hey, which base are you from?!"
Tang Guowei glanced at him and loaded his gun without saying a word: "I'm from Xinlong Base. Where are you from? Why are you nagging and disturbing my brother Tang Xiao? Have you had enough of living? If you have, I'll grant you your wish!"
Wang Yan angrily shouted, "I'm the first secretary of the official base in City M! How dare you point a gun at me! We weren't allowed in even though we brought thank-you gifts, so why should we let you in?"
Hou Ting secretly fanned the flames: "She said she came with cosmetics."
Tang Guowei scoffed, "Cosmetics? Even I, a rough man, know that this stuff is completely gone now. Even if you could make it, what would you use as the raw material? Mutated sea shells? Or lead powder? How dare you bring out this rubbish?"
After saying that, he snatched the gift and said, "Captain Hou, where is Su Xin?"
Hou Ting understood and quickly contacted Su Xin: "Su Xin, come here quickly! There's something going on! It's time for you to make an appearance!!"
When Su Xin heard this, he was so excited that he almost used space teleportation, but he still rode a small electric bike and came quickly!
Tang Guowei said, "Academician Su, can you test this? They say it's a cosmetic gift for Director Yin!"
Su Xin opened it, smelled it and looked at it seriously. He originally planned to give it an embarrassing look, but this look was incredible.
The situation was as dark as water: "I won't tell you what else you mixed in it, but the main ingredients are human blood, crystal core powder, and mutant shell powder. Am I right?
What are you trying to do? If you put this on your face, it'll rot in three months. Even pre-apocalyptic shell powder requires special treatment! Putting aside whether you have the means to treat it, this mutated shell powder is simply unusable. Marine life harbors ancient viruses, don't you know?!
Wang Yan was shocked: "Ancient virus!?"
Hou Ting looked at his reaction and narrowed her eyes and said, "You don't know?"
Wang Yan was too busy saying nothing and just said, "I don't know. Our city M is far inland and we haven't had access to this stuff for a long time. Commander-in-Chief Li gave it to us because he was worried that we didn't have anything good to show for it..."
Actually, we...we just want to borrow some food..."
Hou Ting angrily shouted, "You're full of bullshit! Get out!"
After Wang Yan left, Tang Guowei said, "I came here to tell you that the spies at the military base said that old man Li Bo (Commander-in-Chief Li) has become obsessed with you and wants to take over the Spark Base.
And it seems that they are monitoring us... Commander Chen specifically asked me to come here to express my gratitude."
Hou Ting said, "Come on, Colonel Tang, let's go inside and talk in detail!"
The group arrived at Yin Shan's villa. Yin Shan was listening to Li Baiwan's report. Seeing them coming, he greeted them, "You're here. Just in time. Huihui has some intelligence."
Li Baiwan saw this and said, "Gray's surveillance is effective. Commander-in-Chief Li seems to want to incorporate our Spark Base. He has even prepared gifts for the official bases that come to visit, saying that he understands that they are short of supplies and don't have anything to offer.
In addition, we also told them that we have a large amount of food stored in our Spark Base.
But if I may be frank, how can he recruit them?"
