Chapter 57 Recovering the spoils
Zhao Jian followed Yin Shan inside while talking: "Captain Yin... Ugh... I don't have a gas mask..."
Yin Shan stared at Zhao Jian speechlessly for a long time. The Kyoto base didn’t even have a gas mask. Was it so poor?
But being poor doesn’t mean she can’t do that. The weapons depot and the granary are all hers!
If you want to act miserable and pitiful, don't even mention the door, there's not even a crack in the window!
He took out another gas mask from the space and threw it to Zhao Jian. Yin Shan said, "I'll sell you one crystal core."
Zhao Jian, who was already wearing a mask: ....swindler!
Hou Ting, who had heard the conversation between the two through the headset, looked at Zhao Jian who was approaching and said jokingly, "Oh! Colonel Zhao, you came in on your own? Can you handle these people on your own? Do you need our help? Our help is very cheap!"
Zhao Jian twitched his lips and said, "What did you use? Biological weapons? Director Yin, biological weapons cannot be used within the territory!"
"Oh, it's not a biological weapon, just a small potion made from canned herring. What do you think? Do you feel that your superpowers are slow to use? But as long as you get our special injection, you will be immune to this smell, and it will not affect your superpowers.
We were given special injections, but we wore gas masks because the herring bullets produce smoke, which can affect the eye nerves and thus affect the use of superpowers.
"What do you think, Colonel Zhao, do you want to buy it at the Kyoto base?" Yin Shan explained with a smile.
Zhao Jian felt the special power in his body. Just as Yin Shan said, the gas mask could only filter out a limited amount of smell, but he could still smell that smell.
Although it is better now than before without the mask, the operation of supernatural powers is still slow.
Things are different now. Much of the supply is buried beneath the ice, and they have no way to retrieve it. Furthermore, the cold weather is preventing crops from growing, and the base is starving every day. The Meteorological Bureau predicts extremely hot weather ahead, but there's no telling if extreme cold will return. This has forced the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to research both cold-resistant seeds and drought- and heat-resistant seeds, but there hasn't been much progress.
Zhao Jian sighed and said, "I'm very tempted by your potion, but I think... we can't afford it. Captain Yin, could you please have your people help send these Black Dragon Society remnants to the door? Our people will take over."
Yin Shan waved his hand, threw up the vines, tied up these people, walked to a position 20 meters away from the gate, and threw them out of the base directly, not caring whether they would die from the fall.
20 meters is the coverage range of the herring potion. If she moves forward, Zhao Jian's people will be affected. Anyway, she throws it low, so these people will not all fall to death.
Yin Shan said, "Colonel Zhao, have you received your people? If so, I think we can talk. Time is limited, and we are anxious to get back to our base.
Also, you can call me Yin Shan or Captain Yin, there's no need to be so formal."
Zhao Jian said: "Captain Yin, Captain Chen Feng asked us to come to support you and accept the survivors of the official base in City B.
But I think support is not needed. I didn't expect your fighting power to be so strong. We have investigated the Black Dragon Society. Their strength is even stronger than Su Nianyi's base at that time, and they have a large number of people.
So we're only here to receive the survivors from the official base in City B. As for the people you just handed over to us, we'll conduct an investigation and share any useful information we find with you."
Yin Shan said, "Colonel Zhao, let's be frank. The Black Dragon Society was captured by our Longteng Base, so the weapons depot, granary and other supplies are our spoils of war, and we must take them away.
In addition, I am indeed interested in the intelligence of the people in the Black Dragon Society, but we are helping the government to eliminate the evil forces, so it should be a meritorious service, right? Therefore, you should provide us with the information free of charge.
And give this operation a mission rating and pay us accordingly. But I know you are short of food, so I won't ask you for it. So just give me the crystal cores, 1,000 crystal cores, how about that? "
Zhao Jian smiled bitterly and said, "Captain Yin, we don't have that many crystal cores. We can only give you 100 at most."
Before leaving, Fang Wenting told him that he could give him weapons but had to leave the food behind, and given Yin Shan's personality, he would definitely ask for a reward for this operation.
The authority Fang Wenting gave him was 500 crystal cores, and Yin Shan from Li Guangnian's scientific research team in City B could also take them away.
Zhao Jian didn't understand why Academician Li's research team had to be handed over to Yin Shan. After all, the importance of this team was self-evident. They could develop methods to deal with mutant creatures, study the characteristics of supernatural evolution, and even research the extreme survival conditions of humans in extreme weather conditions. This was self-evidently important to the official base.
But Fang Wenting's original words were: "Only in peacetime can we conduct scientific research. The Kyoto base cannot afford it, but Yin Shan has the ability to provide them with a stable research environment."
Yin Shan narrowed his eyes. "Then, Colonel Zhao, you might not be able to take any of the survivors here with you. They can survive under the oppression of the Black Dragon Society. I think they can survive well in such a big city like B."
Zhao Jian was so anxious that he was sweating. He was just a soldier. You could ask him to fight, but he was not good at the roundabout negotiations.
So he gave up the idea of bargaining and said directly: "Captain Yin, 500 crystal cores as mission reward and money to buy the granary. This is the bottom line given to me by the superiors.
In addition, you can take away Academician Li Guangnian's scientific research team, and the research equipment will also belong to you. We do not want any of the supplies in the underground air-raid shelter.
Chief Fang wants to re-establish an official base in City B, but the food reserves at the Kyoto base are at risk. We really need this food. Captain Yin, if you have any other conditions, please tell me and I will consult with my superiors.
Yin Shan thought for a moment and realized that she was not short of food. The mobile farm already had a cultivable area of 1 hectare. In addition, the crops grew fast in the space, so she could even harvest food 4 times a year. In a normal southern city, 1 hectare of land could be harvested twice a year and produce about 15 tons of food. Not to mention that there were less than 100 people in her base now, even if 100 more people came, she would not have to worry about food.
But aside from the five people in her family, she had no intention of revealing that her space could grow crops. She still wanted to let the residents take action themselves, so she said, "500 crystal cores are fine, and the granary can also be given to you, but I need seeds: vegetable seeds, grain seeds, and Chinese medicinal seeds; as well as the cold- and heat-resistant seeds you developed. As for how much to give, let Chief Fang decide. After all, if the boss gives too little, the employees will lose their enthusiasm for work, right?"
Zhao Jian immediately agreed upon hearing this, "Okay, I'll report this to Commander Fang! Also, Captain Yin, communication is inconvenient right now. We're relying on radio for all our communications. This is the code book sent from the military base. We've already told Captain Chen the channel. If there's any news, we can contact you via radio."
Yin Shan took the code book and spread his hands: "Where is the crystal core?"
Zhao Jian said, "I'll contact Chief Fang right away and arrange for someone to deliver it to Longteng Base. Don't worry, I won't default on my debt. As for the seeds, I'll send them along after the chief has considered it."
Yin Shan nodded and said, "Okay, you go to the door and comfort the survivors first. We have blown up the back of the base. After we have collected the weapons depot, we will leave through the back door. You can leave a few people to guard the back.
Wait one hour after we evacuate before you come back in, or we won’t be responsible if you die of suffocation.”
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Zhao Jian, and told everyone to collect the spoils and prepare to leave.
