Chapter 831 Rumors
"I'm not going back. I want to stay with my family."
Pangqiu didn't seem to think that what he said was of any significance, and his tone even sounded as if he was just informing Ning Yuan, which made the smile on Ning Yuan's face gradually fade.
The three Wen brothers seemed to be shocked speechless by the righteous voice of their uncle. Putting aside other things, the fact that he could lead the team and be the person in charge of the treatment showed that he was not an unknown person in the team and it was impossible for him to leave so easily.
But now that the other party has spoken, we can't just pretend nothing happened. Wen Jing complained in his heart that his uncle is indeed as nerdy as they say. If the other party hadn't mentioned that he had not informed them after faking his death, they could still say that they were completely unaware and use the fact that Yueban Bay had forced the researcher to fake his death as an advantage.
At this moment, they really had no reason at all, so Wen Jing could only say dryly, "Since my uncle wants to go home, we, as the younger generation, can't bear to see him alone outside. Why don't we sit down and have a good talk?"
"Sure," Ning Yuan smiled, "but definitely not now. Our base commander is still waiting for the researcher to return."
He glanced at the time and said pretentiously, "Time flies. It's almost an hour. We should go back first. The bad thing about the base commander is that he is young. The time is tight and he won't make any concessions."
He shook his head, as if helpless, looked towards Pangqiu and made a gesture of invitation, "Dr. Pang, please."
Wen Jing didn't wait for Pang Qiu to speak, and stood in front of him again, still in a good tone, "It's rare for our family to meet, and I really want to reminisce about the past. Can you please ask for a leave?"
Let's not talk about whether they could negotiate to let Pangqiu go. If he was taken away at this time, Wen Jing was afraid that he would be silenced when he returned, based on Pangqiu's previous careless words.
After all, he only has this little uncle. If he returns home at this time, he will probably bring back some useful things. Wen Jing must try his best to protect him.
"Wen Jing, this is not the first or second time we have cooperated. It's not that I won't help you. If we were in each other's shoes, would you agree?" Ning Yuan put away the falseness on his face, looked straight at Wen Jing, and then glanced at Wen Xing and Wen Yan, "Are you trying to provoke the Yuebanwan base?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. The psychics who were protecting the researchers were left on the ground and did not follow. At this time, except Ning Yuan, there were only a few researchers standing far away. On the opposite side, besides the three brothers of the Wen family, there were also psychics who were originally on duty in the room. At this time, everyone did not move, and they all paid attention, waiting for the order to be given and executed immediately.
However, Ning Yuan acted as if he didn't notice anything. Although he was now in the territory of the Henren Team, the entire Mengbei base was in the Yueban Bay area.
Even though they have decided to move away, they still cannot let others lose face at this time.
Just like Pangqiu's behavior at this time, Yuebanwan wanted to send them away and was willing to let them share their research results with other bases, but it did not mean that he would take the initiative to take action before Yuebanwan expressed his position.
Just when the atmosphere between the two sides was tense, Pangqiu walked up to Wen Yan very professionally and pinched his injured and weak arm. After observing for a moment, he suddenly asked, "Your injury has been delayed for too long, and you haven't been able to force out the zombie energy to the maximum extent. The damage to your arm is a bit serious."
"What level are the healing psychics at the Mengbei base?"
"..." Wen Yan.
Compared with his two younger brothers, he adapted better to this uncle with whom he had more contact. At this time, he sighed and said, "Uncle, let's talk about it later."
"How can you say this later? You can't even train a high-level healer. Why don't you hurry up and take advantage of the fact that the healers at Yuebanwan Base are here to heal you? Do you want to be disabled in the future?" Pang Qiu was puzzled and frowned with the airs of an elder. "Even if our family is not short of money, it's not easy for a disabled person to find a partner, especially when you're old..."
The look in his eyes clearly said "You are such a loser", which made Wen Yan, who thought he had seen many big scenes without showing any emotion, start to grit his teeth.
Other people's expressions were even more strange. They were thinking of killing you, and you were still thinking of using other people's people?
If he wasn't his uncle, Wen Jing would have wanted to curse.
Ning Yuan couldn't help but twitch his lips. Considering that he had come into contact with countless researchers after the end of the world, he had a certain degree of understanding of the diversity of this group. He said tactfully, "Dr. Pang, I understand that you want to go home, but there are still some procedures that need to be applied to the person in charge here. Should we go back first?"
"Oh, yes, Base Captain Zhuang said that after we get here, everyone will be under the full responsibility of Base Captain Lu. I'll go talk to him." Pang Qiu glanced at Wen Yan with the look of a junior who looked down on his ability, "I'll go ask the treatment department of the Yuebanwan base for you and see if they can help you with treatment."
"Uncle, wait..." Wen Jing hurriedly tried to stop him. He suspected that the man had no idea of the possible dangers after returning, so he leaned close and whispered a few words, especially indicating the severity of the situation.
Pangqiu's cold expression gradually turned into surprise, "What are you thinking? Yuebanwan let us go back on its own initiative."
Not only did these words make Ning Yuan alert, but the three Wen brothers were also stunned and felt that the other party must have been used.
Then, Ning Yuan asked, "Who told you that?"
This is tantamount to confirming their speculation.
Before Pangqiu could answer, a researcher hiding in the back of the team suddenly spoke up, "Dr. Pang, you remembered it wrong. The research institute said that we can bring our families with us."
"No," Pangqiu said, looking confused but not pretending, "It means we can leave."
"How is that possible? What's going on outside? Can we survive if we leave?"
"Yes, it clearly said that we can contact the family members and return together."
"Dr. Pang must have heard it wrong."
Several researchers who had been watching the fun quietly immediately asked, and they all agreed that it was Pangqiu's problem. Fortunately, Pangqiu was not the kind of person who would be influenced by others, and he affirmed directly, "No, he said we can leave."
"Could it be that the treatment is different? They can leave, but we can bring our families back?" someone tried to mediate the conflict.
Then as soon as he said this, everyone else looked over there, and some even looked at him with some strangeness in their eyes.
Compared with these young researchers, the person in charge is more important to the base. Why would the base let more important people leave and take the families of the young researchers back to eat for free?
The faces of several researchers who had figured it out gradually became ugly. Finally, Ning Yuan took the initiative to speak, "Did you misunderstand something? I haven't received any notification."
"how……"
Someone wanted to speak up to refute, but was pulled back by the person next to him and kept silent. Pangqiu frowned and said, "I'll go ask the base commander."
Wen Jing grabbed his arm and before he could try to persuade him, he heard Ning Yuan say directly to Pang Qiu, "Dr. Pang, you don't want to cause conflicts between the two bases because of you, right? Who will suffer then..." He smiled and didn't say anything else, but the threat was already obvious.
Pangqiu seemed to realize that the atmosphere was wrong. He looked around blankly and said nothing.
Wen Xing took a step forward and stood in front of the group. His not-so-strong physique didn't add much to his aura, but he was calm and collected. "Mr. Ning, who do you think is at a disadvantage?"
The mental power spread in a small space. Ning Yuan was alert this time. He was on guard without waiting for the mental power to get close to him.
"Ah Xing".
Wen Xing withdrew his ever-increasing mental strength and looked at the person on the bed.
"Big brother".
Wen Yan glanced at him, and Wen Xing retreated back to his side, his indifferent expression exactly the same as Pang Qiu's.
He looked at Ning Yuan and said, "Could you please ask the treatment department of Yueban Bay to help me take a look at this arm?"
Ning Yuan spread his hands and said, "The transfer of personnel still needs the approval of the base commander. I can convey this to Mr. Wen, but I can't guarantee whether it will be successful."
Wen Xing seemed very dissatisfied with Ning Yuan's official tone, and Wen Jing immediately said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"Also, I heard that Mingxu came here two days ago. I wonder if you have time to meet each other." Compared to Lu Weiyi's unconventional behavior, Wen Jing felt that Zhuang Mingxu was easier to communicate with, "Otherwise, once you leave, I don't know when we will meet again."
Ning Yuan raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll go back and ask for his opinion."
He turned around and put the organized instruments into the space, then looked at Wen Yan who was talking in a low voice to Pang Qiu. Although he was a strong man with muscular body, he seemed to be talking to a child, with a helpless expression.
A long period of stable life made Pangqiu look only a few years older than him. He frowned from time to time in confusion, but finally nodded.
Ning Yuan didn't care what they said in private. After all, there was only a limited amount of things to say in a few minutes. After they had packed up their things, Pangqiu followed the team to the ground, and the three Wen brothers followed behind.
A few people were still worried, and Wen Xing wanted to send someone to follow Pangqiu for protection. After being rejected, he directly asked if he could go to the island as a guest.
"No, there is construction going on the island, and outsiders are not allowed to enter." Ning Yuan knew what they were thinking and didn't want to make each other guess and dissatisfied at the last minute, so he said clearly, "There may be other doctors participating in the drug trial in a few days. If you want to reminisce, you can seize the time then."
This also shows that they will not touch Pangqiu because of what happened today.
What's worse, Ning Yuan even suspected that these researchers might be taking advantage of the opportunity to do something weird. People like Pangqiu with negative emotional intelligence might be a breakthrough in the investigation.
However, Wen Xing felt that this was just a perfunctory statement, "Since..."
Before he could finish his words, Wen Jing interrupted him by grabbing his shoulder and said, "Thank you for your care."
He pinched Wen Xing's shoulder suggestively, signaling him to keep quiet. Ning Yuan looked at the pair of brothers with a smile, chuckled twice and said nothing.
After leaving the temporary residence at the Mengbei base, Wen Xing stayed to take care of Wen Yan, while Wen Jing sent Ning Yuan away.
