Chapter 833 Tang Bai Asks for Help
Xu Sa curled his lips and said, "Who knows the details? Anyway, a lot of bases were deceived into going to support Kyoto. Later, the Zheng family got into trouble, Lieyan was suppressed, and Zhao Qiang was busy targeting us, so the matter seems to have been left unresolved."
Speaking of Zhao Qiang, Xu Sa moved closer to Lu Weiyi and gossiped with him about his personal affairs, "I heard that he gave away his own sperm in order to raise a child, but now there is no news about him. His own son was taken away by Li Zhuang, haha..."
"He thought he was a little dwarf. But after he followed Li Zhuang, Li Zhuang didn't say anything and developed a whole training plan for him. That plan..." Xu Sa clicked his tongue twice, "It was so harsh. We thought at the time that Li Zhuang was taking his dissatisfaction with Zhao Qiang out on his son. Who would have thought that almost a year later, not only has he grown taller, but his skills have completely become like Li Zhuang's weird ones. Now he has pretty good superpowers too, and he is so respectful to Li Zhuang."
Hearing the envy in Xu Sa's tone, Lu Weiyi thought of what he had just said and asked, "How about bringing Miss Tang Bai over to give to you?"
Xu Sa waved his hand and said, "No, I can't serve the little ancestor."
"Then when the researcher arrives, I will train one for you as soon as possible?"
"Forget it. Nothing is stable now. Don't give birth to a child and make others feel wronged." Xu Sa put his hands behind his head. "Didn't you notice that no one mentioned the matter of children this year?"
Lu Weiyi shook his head. He was extremely busy all day long and even after coming back he was running around everywhere, so he paid very little attention to the affairs of the base.
"Kyoto has not fulfilled its promise, and the base is just talking about it without any intention of making any mandatory requirements. On the one hand, it is because the situation in Kyoto is chaotic right now, and on the other hand, it is because everyone knows that the days ahead may be difficult."
"Wait a minute," Xu Sa took a deep breath, "Once things settle down, I also want to experience the feeling of having both a son and a daughter."
Lu Weiyi nodded, said words of support, snatched half of the cakes that he had secretly hidden beside him, disdained him for snatching food from the children, and hurriedly sent the rest to the space to the children.
With Xu Sa's explanation, Lu Weiyi didn't act arrogantly and soon had Tang Bai brought over.
He was wrapped from head to toe in an isolation suit, making him look like an ordinary researcher who occasionally went to the ground to collect information. When he stood at the door and saw Xu Sa sitting inside, he paused for a moment and then returned to normal.
After entering the hall, Tang Bai took off his heavy mask, revealing a familiar face.
"Hey, Old Tang, it's been such a long time since we last met. Have you lost your supernatural powers?" Xu Sa joked.
"You wish I had lost my superpowers." Tang Bai's superpowers allowed him to not sweat at all even when he was wrapped so tightly in such hot weather. He took off his clothes without looking at all disheveled inside. "Captain Lu, long time no see."
"Long time no see." Lu Weiyi motioned for him to sit down and listened to him casually and politely chatting about his recent situation.
Xu Sa didn't leave either, and exchanged a few words with him from time to time. After a while, probably realizing that the other party was not going to leave, Tang Bai began to change the topic and asked about Xu Wen's situation.
"The last time we met was before the Pingjin base was moved. He said he wanted to follow his companions in Yueban Bay. After that... I haven't seen him since. Is he okay?"
"..."Lu Weiyi.
He felt a little puzzled. How could he know the living conditions of a random person in the base?
"It's okay. I run an underground trading place with the baby's father. Life is pretty good. The previous base was moved in a hurry, but they will definitely be properly accommodated in the new base." Xu Sa learned more and asked with a smile how his wife and children were doing.
"Everything is fine. You know I came to your base and asked about Aiyi and Taotao. You said you would write letters to them and bring them gifts." Tang Bai took out two simple greeting cards from the space. After opening them, they showed a three-dimensional small castle. There were no words on them, only a series of childish pictures that expressed the meaning.
Lu Weiyi took a glance, retracted his gaze, and carefully put it into the space, "I will pass it to them."
He kept talking about Xu Wen and using the children to build relationships. Even the insensitive Lu Weiyi felt that he must have come for something. Xu Sa was a shrewd man and knew it clearly. He started a random chat with eight tables without saying anything, and Lu Weiyi couldn't help it.
"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Lu Weiyi asked directly.
After talking with Xu Sa, he was thinking about what Tang Bai might ask for. Those were all they could come up with at their base right now. He thought the most likely thing was the zombie energy-releasing potion. After all, Liu Wan and Tang Tingting were both ordinary people, so it was understandable that Tang Bai came for this.
"The zombie-releasing potion is effective for ordinary people, but it needs to be injected immediately. Ordinary people have weak resistance to zombie energy. Once infected, they will quickly cause systemic mutations. It will be useless if the injection is delayed for a moment." Lu Weiyi told him what he thought, "If it is what you want, I can give you a preferential price, but the quantity is limited, and I may not be able to get a very large discount."
Tang Bai was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, "I don't want to buy medicine."
After that, he remained silent for a while.
The room was silent for a while. After a while, footsteps were heard outside. Ning Yuan pushed the door open with a stern face and said, "Lu Weiyi, let me tell you, Wen..."
Seeing the person sitting in the hall, he stopped talking and asked in surprise, "Tang Bai?"
Tang Bai waved towards him.
No one had been on the island for a long time, so he didn't pay attention to it for a while, and only then did he realize that the door was closed.
"You guys sit down first," he said as he was about to close the door, and finally looked at Lu Weiyi, "Come see me when you're done, I have something."
"Um".
After waiting for everyone to leave, Tang Bai seemed to have finally made up his mind. He looked up at Lu Weiyi and asked, "Can I take my family and leave with you?"
"?"
Not only Lu Weiyi was surprised, but Xu Sa couldn't help but sit up straight.
"It means living in your new base," Tang Bai explained more clearly.
"Where are your base and team? There can't accommodate so many people." His relationship with Tang Bai was not good enough for him to include the Pingjin base in the scope, not to mention that the area of the Shanshen base was limited. Lu Weiyi didn't even know how Zhuang Mingxu accommodated Lieyan's people, so he naturally wouldn't add to his burden at this time.
"At most thirty people," said Tang Bai with a desperate look, "I have a private material warehouse, which contains some original grains that I had stored before, including wheat, corn, and some miscellaneous grains and beans. There are probably 50,000 kilograms in total. I secretly left it at the end of the world, and it has not been touched until now."
"I'll give you all of these in exchange for you taking these thirty of us with you?"
This was something that neither Lu Weiyi nor Xu Sa had expected. It was so sudden that neither of them said anything. After a moment, Xu Sa asked first, "What about the people in your base?"
Tang Bai smiled but said mercilessly, "I'm not the base commander, how can I take care of so many people. As for the team... they are probably also hoping that I will step down."
The implication of this statement was too profound. Lu Weiyi was not clear about the specific situation and did not ask more questions. He weighed the value of 50,000 kilograms of seeds and the resources occupied by more than 30 people and felt that this was a relatively good deal.
"Yes, but there are conditions," Lu Weiyi said.
Tang Bai's tense nerves seemed to relax a little, and he made a gesture for him to speak.
"I'll have someone check the quality of this batch of seeds. If the survival rate is less than 70 percent, it would be too low."
"..." Tang Bai gritted his teeth, "If it's low, I'll use something else to supplement it."
Xu Sa looked at Tang Bai, narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
"After that, your survival will depend on yourself. The base is not responsible."
"Of course, I can't let you support me," Tang Bai joked.
Lu Weiyi had nothing to add and looked at Xu Sa. He heard Xu Sa stroking the cup in his hand, thinking for a while and said, "Although leaving the original base and living in a different place is not a big deal, you are in charge of a team after all. If we rashly accept you, it will involve certain risks for our base."
"Besides, not all of you are leaving, so it's best not to owe any supplies," Xu Sa said with a smile, "Don't let us take away all the supplies of the entire base. Otherwise, we will become accomplices in sheltering criminals, which will be a bad thing, don't you think?"
"Don't worry, I will handle all these matters. You can go and investigate, but -" Tang Bai suddenly said, "I hope to send my daughter and lover here first. Is that convenient?"
Lu Weiyi nodded, and an agreement was reached. Tang Bai readily told him the location of his hidden warehouse. No one expected that it was not far from Yueban Bay. To be precise, it was even within the territory of Yueban Bay.
"Are you sure it hasn't been flooded? This place has become a coastline now." Xu Sa was more familiar with the surrounding terrain and identified the location at a glance.
"No, I asked a metal-related mutant to build a sealed granary with metal, and poured candles on the outside. I originally planned to keep it for a few years to leave myself a way out." Tang Bai looked at the two of them, "I can take you there for testing now."
"Then I'll take Qingji with me over there." Gu Qingji's wood-related ability was enough to detect the survival rate of the seeds.
Lu Weiyi nodded.
Xu Sa asked Tang Bai, "Can you also call a wood-type mutant to join you?"
"No need, just bring it with you." Tang Bai was very generous at this time, which made the smile on Xu Sa's face more genuine.
They even gave assurances, "Don't worry, there will be no possibility of cheating."
"What are you talking about? How can I not believe someone who comes from the only team?"
As the two were talking, Tang Bai put on the same clothes he wore when he came here and explained, "Too many people are paying attention to me, so I still need to cover up."
Xu Sa didn't mind. While Lu Weiyi was getting dressed, she turned around and looked at him, silently asking him to find someone to investigate the current situation at the Pingjin base.
