Chapter 832 Gift Giving
A group of protection personnel took the researchers back to the base. Ning Yuan and Wen Jing were far behind. They waited until they reached the shore before he stopped and handed a cigarette to Ning Yuan.
Ning Yuan took it, lit it, took a sip of the mist, and then heard Wen Jing ask what the price would be if he wanted Pangqiu to return home.
Ning Yuan's eyebrows twitched unconsciously. "He is one of the main developers of the zombie release potion. You should know this, right?"
Wen Jing shook his head, met Ning Yuan's "are you doing this on purpose" look, and said with a smile, "My younger uncle is about the same age as my older brother. When I was older, he had already left home as a child prodigy and later entered a national research institute, so we are not very familiar with each other."
Wen Jing took a puff of his cigarette and laughed, "To be honest, I was also... shocked by him."
Ning Yuan didn't care whether his words were true or not. Ever since he knew the relationship between Pangqiu and the three brothers of the Wen family, he knew that he might not be able to keep this person. However, if he took the initiative to send him away, he would get good results, but if he was passive, he would lose face.
In that case, why not get a good price?
Ning Yuan took the initiative to introduce, "Dr. Pang participated in the research and development of several projects at the base. The most important ones include the research and development of zombie release agents, gene fusion projects, and the enhancement of human body's anti-radiation ability, etc. There are also a series of other large and small projects."
"And these projects have already begun to show results. If you were in my shoes, would you be willing to send your R&D personnel out at this time?" Ning Yuan asked in return.
Wen Jing did not seem to expect that his uncle was so capable. After pondering for a moment, he bluntly hinted, "Everyone and everything in the world has a corresponding value."
It seems that there is no need for bait at all, the fish will take the bait on their own initiative.
Ning Yuan felt that he had experienced the joy of fishing like Jiang Taigong. He hissed as if he was considering, and after a moment he said, "I'll go back and ask. After all, giving you the person is equivalent to giving away the research results together. The price..."
He patted Wen Jing on the shoulder and didn't continue.
"Thank you," Wen Jing's heart bled, "Remember to ask me about the treatment department."
Ning Yuan looked him up and down, his eyes finally fixed on the box of cigarettes stuffed in his pocket, "Your requests are a bit too much."
"Here, all for you." Wen Jing stuffed the whole box into his hands and reminded him to help keep Wen Yan's identity secret.
Ning Yuan waved his hand, walked on the sea, and chased after the people who had already reached the island.
After Wen Jing sent a few people back, Wen Yan had just come out of the shower. Wen Xing saw him putting on his clothes with one hand and wanted to help, but Wen Yan refused, saying, "You've traveled a long way, just sit down and rest."
"My health has improved a lot since my superpowers were upgraded." Wen Xing ignored his refusal, reached out to button his clothes, and asked about how his arm felt.
Wen Yan controlled his arm and just shook it, "I have a feeling that I can't move."
"It should be nerve damage." Wen Jing saw that Wen Xing's expression was getting colder and colder, and he knew that he was apologizing. After all, Wen Yan's injury was borne by him.
Wen Xing was about to be upgraded, but he was always at a loss as to what to do, so he decided to go out and hunt zombies for the final attack. However, they encountered S-level zombies. During the battle, his superpowers suddenly broke through the shackles and were about to be upgraded. He was unable to resist the attack of the S-level zombies. In a hurry, Wen Yan blocked it for him, which resulted in Wen Yan, who was stronger in both skills and superpowers, being injured.
The two originally did not need to come with the team to Yuebanwan Base to deliver supplies, so they had to leave quietly. Now that the Mengbei Base is supported by the Ruthless Team, they encountered too many people from other bases on the way, and they could not let people know that the captain of the Ruthless Team was in trouble, so they had to hide their identities.
Wen Xing felt guilty all the way about Wen Yan being locked in a cage, not to mention the cause of the injury every time he thought about it. This was also the reason why he was so stubborn and obsessed with curing the man at all costs.
"Don't think too much. The healing department of Yueban Bay is very powerful. Ning Yuan was injured and lost one and a half kidneys, and they repaired it." The confidential information that had been blocked before came out of Wen Yan's mouth at this time, and did not cause any surprise to the other two.
"Are they willing?" Wen Xing has seen a lot of darkness in human nature. He never believes in the so-called "no one will kick someone when they are down" if there is no conflict of interest.
"The eldest brother's identity has been exposed, so it's understandable that they make excuses to shirk responsibility."
Wen Yan shook his head and said affirmatively, "It is precisely because their identities have been exposed that they will not do anything."
"?" Wen Xing turned his head to look at him.
"The zombie infection has been cleared, and my superpowers are now slowly recovering. It's already a timely help. Why should we cause resentment between the two sides because of a small thing that is icing on the cake?" His serious face made him look more like a superior who was unsmiling. He was gentle enough when speaking to Wen Xing, "Don't try to confront us head-on. We are the ones asking for help. There is no need for threats or warnings."
After all, there is a huge gap in their strength. Even if they threaten each other, they may end up suffering losses in the end.
Wen Jing, who listened carefully to his two brothers, immediately nodded and agreed, "Second brother, you must not dare to say anything harsh. Their base commander..."
He clicked his tongue and said, "When you are young, sometimes you really don't consider the consequences and just try to catch the opponent by surprise."
Wen Xing acted docilely, as if he was not the one who was ready to fight to the death. He nodded and admitted his mistake, "I was a little emotional, I won't do that again next time."
Wen Yan didn't care, but asked Wen Jing, "Ah Jing, you have been in charge of external affairs. Tell me what kind of person is their base commander?"
Wen Jing opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to describe it.
On the other side, Lu Weiyi, who didn't know how to describe himself, had just put a batch of sea salt into the space when he received a message from someone saying that Tang Bai wanted to meet him alone.
Lu Weiyi realized at this moment that the Pingjin base, which was once the closest to their base, had not shown up since he came back. Originally, the two bases were the closest to each other, and based on their previous relationship, they should have visited them long ago, but there had been no news, and now they suddenly proposed to meet alone.
Lu Weiyi looked at the several heavy wooden boxes that were brought up. He opened them and found several Buddha statues made of fine jade inside. They were well protected by sawdust and shone with a bright luster.
On the other side, someone opened six four-layer-high wooden boxes, which contained delicate little cakes. Each one looked different and was particularly beautiful. The moment the box was opened, all kinds of sweet aromas wafted in the face. It was not difficult to imagine the taste in the mouth. This was the craftsmanship of Tang Bai's wife Liu Wan. When they lived in Yueban Bay before, Zhuang Aiyi and Qin Nian praised her more than once. After that, Tang Bai would bring some every time he came.
Lu Weiyi didn't hesitate at all, reached out and took one and put it in his mouth.
"Base Commander, be careful..."
"?" Lu Weiyi swallowed and looked at the person holding it.
"……poison".
"Not really?" Lu Weiyi had already swallowed it, and said embarrassedly, "How about you ask someone to check it again?"
"..." Several people left with the food. Lu Weiyi hesitated about the remaining food. Just by looking at the fawning look, he felt that the other party must have done something wrong.
He immediately called Xu Sa over to ask about the situation.
"There's no big conflict," Xu Sa carefully examined several jade carvings, "It is said that when Zhao Qiang united the various bases, three bases sent us reminder messages. One was the team where Su Yan was, one was Wen Jing from Mengbei, and the other was Tang Bai."
"It's Tang Bai, not anyone else." Xu Sa was afraid that he would think it was another team from the Pingjin base, so he emphasized, "When the first solar storm broke out and electronic products experienced their first large-scale failures, Lin Ya had already undergone surgery to remove the controller from her body, and she has never contacted our base since then."
He shrugged his shoulders and said, "We didn't think that the situation at that time would allow us to unite with them. In order to avoid sudden defection and other troubles, after discussion we decided not to unite with anyone and just accepted their kindness."
"So - we still owe someone a favor?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"I don't think so," Xu Sa sat aside, crossing his legs, "They were also weighing the pros and cons. At that time, everyone was betting that you could come back in time, and that Yuebanwan had a killer weapon. If they sold it in advance, they would not be liquidated in case of a reversal."
"Later..." As expected, the situation turned around, and these people were indeed not targeted. "The Pingjin base has also been moved. Their base was affected by the tsunami before, and they moved to a more inland place. After that, everyone was busy with their own things and there was basically no contact."
Recalling the information he knew, Xu Sa added, "It is said that he came with Lin Ya's team this time and is looking for you alone..."
He took another look at the things piled on the ground. This kind of things are no longer circulated openly in various bases. They have long been in the private collections of people who like them. "If you want to see it, you can see it. If you don't want to see it, you can refuse it."
As we were talking, the person who was carrying the pastries for testing came back and confirmed that there was no problem, but there was a small piece missing from each one, which would make people with obsessive compulsive disorder act up, but it did not affect the fragrance at all.
"Wow, so many." Xu Sa was also familiar with Liu Wan's craftsmanship. Zhuang Aiyi had shared her knowledge with him twice out of filial piety. Thinking of Tang Bai's love for his wife, he was able to make the other party work so hard. His intention to please her was obvious. He even did not hesitate to use the method of pleasing Zhuang Aiyi to build a relationship. "It seems that he really has something to ask of you."
Xu Sa said as he pinched one and put it in his mouth, "It still tastes the same. We have good pastry chefs in our base, but we can't make it as delicious as theirs."
"Speaking of which, I miss the little girl in his family. She is adorable and speaks in a sweet voice. She is completely different from the group of guys around us. Speaking of which, some people thought that you would have an arranged marriage. But later on, it seemed that Ai Yi had a better relationship with the Dong family's baby."
Seeing that he suddenly became talkative, Lu Weiyi asked directly, "Do you want to save him?"
"...Haha, I just remembered that his daughter seemed like an ordinary person," Xu Sa thought of the delicate and pretty girl, "It's a bit of a pity."
"Come to think of it, we originally booked several thousand embryos for cultivation with the Kyoto base? I have already reserved a spot, so is there no news?" Xu Sa asked without affecting the way he stuffed snacks into his mouth. He even grabbed a box and put the snacks in it, looking like he was eating and taking snacks at the same time.
"My uncle should bring all the people here together." Lu Weiyi had only heard a little about this project so far and asked about Xu Sa's specific situation.
