Chapter 525 Military Exercises
At this time, Zheng Yi wanted to sell good things to everyone and absolutely did not want to offend anyone.
More importantly, what he said was very nice. With such a righteous attitude from him, if Yuebanwan does not lower the exchange rate, it will be regarded as an act of not standing on the same front with humans. A little provocation will arouse dissatisfaction among many people.
If they lower the exchange rate, those who use these crystal cores to enhance their superpowers today will become the vanguard to attack them tomorrow. After all, who would be willing to pay a huge price after reaping the benefits?
The abacus beads are about to pop onto my face.
Zhuang Mingxu sneered when he saw the message sent by Lu Xiaoxin, "I heard that he accidentally got an S-level metal crystal core recently. He should be placing his hopes of upgrading on this crystal core."
This is the first time that a team has taken out an S-level crystal core for purification. This kind of rare item naturally needs to be kept a close eye on during purification.
If this is the reason, it makes sense that Zheng Yi wants to make the trip.
only……
Who can be sure that he is not coming to Yueban Bay to explore the way?
But if you refuse, it means you are handing the handle to the other party.
Countless thoughts flashed through Zhuang Mingxu's mind, and he finally realized that there was no possibility of them refusing at all.
The news that Zheng Yi was about to come on behalf of the Kyoto base quickly spread throughout the base.
That afternoon, several leaders of the base military and government all gathered in Zhuang Mingxu's office, which he had not visited for several days.
"I got the news that Zheng Yi is close to SS level and is just one step away. I think he chose to come to Yueban Bay at this time with ill intentions." After everyone gathered, Kong Zhen was the first to express his opinion.
"I think we can't let them into the base. We have never seen SS-level metal capabilities. No one can guarantee what level it will be at or what unexpected situations will arise."
"I think it's best not to let them into the base, but..." Hu Gang's response was beyond everyone's expectations.
When Zhuang Mingxu was selecting the candidates, he conducted a very systematic investigation. Hu Gang was a typical poor student who had seen the hardships of life at the bottom of society. It was not easy for him to work his way up, but what was even more difficult was that he was able to stay true to his original aspirations and survive in the murky officialdom and rise to a high position. In addition to the help of his wife's family, he was also extremely capable.
Kong Zhen is another kind of person. He will seek benefits for his subordinates, on the premise that they are his subordinates and those who follow him are a good leader. However, he is not so easy to get along with outsiders.
After the end of the world, the two people who entered the base government had completely different attitudes. Hu Gang himself was an ordinary person, and he paid more attention to the welfare of ordinary people.
Although Kong Zhen himself does not have special powers, he has many people with special powers under his command, and he obviously prefers to treat people with special powers better.
The two of them were forced to restrain each other, which was the situation Zhuang Mingxu wanted to see. Suddenly hearing that they were standing on the same front, he looked at Hu Gang with interest and motioned him to continue.
Hu Gang turned to Ning Yuan and said, "General Ning, I want to ask, does our military have any SS-level psychics now?"
"Sorry, the highest level of psychics in the military is hidden information." Ning Yuan knew what he meant and did not answer directly. He said tactfully, "Even at the same level, there will be gaps in abilities between different attributes. Even different psychics have different understandings of abilities, which will lead to different abilities. The ability of high-level psychics cannot be assessed by their ability levels."
Without Lu Weiyi, he would be really embarrassed to say that they didn't have any outstanding supernatural beings.
"That is to say, if he successfully upgrades, no one can beat him in single combat," Kong Zhen made a sharp summary.
“……” Ning Yuan gritted his teeth and did not refute.
He had already asked Wu Yue. Li Zhuang had not been upgraded when he came back last time. Liu Rui was just sent there this morning, so it would be difficult to upgrade him within a few days.
If they had known earlier not to listen to Lu Weiyi's advice and take it step by step, if they had tried their best from the beginning, they would not be behind Zheng Yi now.
Ning Yuan felt a little regretful, "But the average strength of our base is greater than that of the opponent."
"But our base has few people, and even fewer psychics than Kyoto."
There was silence in the office for a moment, as if everyone had just realized how difficult the current situation was hidden beneath Lu Weiyi's abilities.
After a lively discussion, everyone agreed that Zheng Yi must not be allowed to lead the team into Yueban Bay, but the excuse was still to be discussed.
After seeing off the government staff, Ning Yuan collapsed on the sofa in a completely ungraceful manner.
"I never realized that Lu Weiyi could handle so much by himself."
It seemed that since the beginning of the apocalypse, his superpowers were the strongest, and everyone began to rely on him habitually. When he said that excessive absorption of crystal cores would easily make the superpowers unstable, they obeyed him tacitly without thinking that he had been forcing himself to improve all the way.
The stable environment and life eventually made them relax and ignore the difficulties of the end times.
Zhuang Mingxu did not respond to him. After a long while, he asked Lin Yimu, "Brother Damu, how many crystal cores do we have left after storing them for so long?"
"C-grade ones are the most, with more than 900,000, B-grade ones are more than 80,000, A-grade ones are the least, with less than 10,000, and S-grade ones..." Lin Yimu recalled in his mind, "According to Wu Yue, the two S-grade water systems that Li Zhuang brought back are still in his hands."
However, the lowest level of psychics today is mostly B-level. C-level crystal cores are used as currency and are basically no longer used for purification. This makes it even more apparent that the upgrade crystal cores they store are limited.
"What do you want to...?" Lin Yimu looked at Zhuang Mingxu inquiringly.
"You don't really want to lower the exchange rate, do you?" Ning Yuan shouted.
He felt that as soon as Lu Weiyi got into trouble, they immediately lowered the crystal core exchange rate, which made them seem really useless.
Zhuang Mingxu did have this idea, and it wasn't much lower, but at least he needed to make a statement to express their attitude of fighting the zombies together.
Especially since Lu Weiyi is no longer here and there is no high-level person in charge at the base, it really has no ability to confront the other side head-on.
"Announce the friendship exchange rate previously given to the three major teams in Kyoto, and tell all bases that the waters around Yueban Bay have been attacked by mutated sea creatures. There are no extra manpower to help fight the zombies, so we can only do our best on the crystal cores."
As soon as Zhuang Mingxu finished speaking, Ning Yuan turned his eyes and asked, "You said, when Zheng Yi came here, if our base was attacked by mutant plants or animals..."
"He just happened to have a chance to evaluate the combat capability of our base, and he might even be 'kind' enough to help." Zhuang Mingxu interrupted his unrealistic thoughts, "And if you come across a crystal core of a high-level mutant plant, don't you want to use it?"
Ning Yuan smiled bitterly.
"Now we have no excuse to stop the other party from landing on the island. Zheng Yi's excuse is very complete. He wants to see the progress of the Comprehensive Research Institute's research on zombie energy and see when it can come up with a method to treat zombies. We can't refuse this at all," said Zhuang Mingxu.
"Moreover, there are so many mutated birds outside the island, it is really impractical to live outside," Ning Yuan added.
"Since we can't stop them from landing on the island, maybe we can restrict their actions," Lin Yimu suddenly said.
Seeing the two of them looking at him at the same time, Lin Yimu said slowly, "Maybe we need to conduct a military exercise."
**
Following the actions of the Kyoto base, the surrounding bases began to postpone the exchange time that had been originally scheduled. Even though Zhuang Mingxu had people adjust the new exchange rate upwards, it still did not reverse the downward trend.
Many teams that were waiting and watching did not want to offend either party, so they had to reduce the number of exchanges.
The two responsible persons tried every possible way to alleviate the depressed situation, but failed. The atmosphere in the base even became a little uneasy because of the news of Kyoto's drastic measures.
While discussing the specific number of days to stay in Kyoto and Yueban Bay, Ning Yuan organized a base team and required dozens of days of joint training. They would patrol the waters around Yueban Bay to prevent high-level mutant creatures from approaching, and conduct joint military and civilian exercises.
Ning Yuan was prepared for someone to ask him questions, but the team under him was as steady as an old dog.
Ye Jia crossed his legs, hugged his chest and yawned, "Finally, there's work to do. I've been so idle lately that my bones are almost loose."
"Then can I leave the Far Sea Area to you?"
As soon as Meng Shuyou said these polite and shy words, the meeting room was quiet for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
Ye Jia looked over helplessly, "Brother, is it appropriate for you to bully a child?"
"A kid who can hit the target with an ice bow within a thousand meters?" Song Xian's eyes widened as if he was complaining about how Ye Jia could be so shameless.
"I'm the youngest too, do you have any objection?" Ye Jia spread his hands, looking as if he couldn't do anything to me.
"As a person with special abilities, how can you have the nerve to judge people based on their age?" Gao Yang adjusted his glasses.
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the conference room fell silent for a moment. As Ye Jia smiled as if he had thought of something bad, Song Xian hurriedly said, "It still depends on age. I'm older than you, so I'll give in to you."
After Song Xian finished speaking, he took a look at the sea patrol map that Ning Yuan took out and said, "We are responsible for the area 500 nautical miles to the southeast, how about that?" He said and looked at Chen Xing.
Chen Xing nodded.
Meng Shu pointed to a place, and when Du Ping nodded, he said, "Then we will be responsible for the 500 nautical miles to the north."
"You are really brothers," Ye Jia gritted his teeth.
In the entire Yueban Bay, the safest patrol area is the southwest and west. This area is connected to the inland and is their breeding area, so the danger level is extremely low.
Frost will be one of the three main teams in the base. If they choose these two positions, they will simply leave no way for the small teams below to survive.
As for the other directions, the ones extending to the north and southeast will also connect to the land, while the ones extending to the east completely into the sea are very dangerous.
"Except for the east, the Frost Society and the base army will assist in the operation," Ning Yuan said at the right time, "The rest is up to you. In three days, check all sea areas. No creatures of too high a level are allowed to appear. The team that is responsible for the area will be held responsible if any problem occurs."
