Chapter 417 Negotiation
He looked at the two smiling girls in the yard and said, "The women alone are enough for them to slaughter you all, not to mention so many weapons and food."
"Aren't you all just trying to rob weapons? There's no difference, right?" The political commissar who was following Qin Xing sneered.
"There is a difference," Ning Yuan said solemnly, "You haven't seen anything worse."
He looked at Lu Weiyi who had not moved in the yard, "Nowadays, in many bases, ordinary people and people with special abilities have been stratified into first and second classes. Our base commander is not so yearning for power and status, and the entire base is preserved almost the same as before the apocalypse."
"But as far as I know, there is only one such base in the country."
Qin Xing didn't say anything else. He looked at the pictures on his phone and said, "I need to think about it."
"Okay, but our time is limited this time. I can extend my departure to tomorrow morning at the latest."
Qin Xing nodded, called Wang Qing to entertain them, and he and the political commissar ran towards the base first.
The few soldiers who stayed behind immediately started chatting with Li Qing and his companions to find out the situation outside.
Outside, Antonio and Dean had also started chatting with the two girls. In the past two years, the dwarf who could not communicate with them due to language barriers could now joke with others smoothly and even throw in a few idioms from time to time. After a while, they found out the information they wanted to find out.
On the other side, Lu Weiyi's mental power spread to the surroundings, and the scenes of the four villages gradually appeared in front of him. What surprised him was not only the living habits of the residents here, but also the number of babies here.
For dinner, Wang Qing took them to the cafeteria, where they had two meat dishes and six vegetable dishes, as well as steamed buns to fill them up.
There aren't many animals here, but the military and civilians grow their own food, so food and clothing are not a problem.
They were directly arranged to stay in the dormitory building at night. Lu Weiyi asked everyone else to go to sleep while he kept watch.
Li Zhuang sat beside him at night, "Have you seen the children here?"
"Not only that, they also have pregnant women here. I saw at least a dozen of them." Even if Lu Weiyi had no intention of taking care of this place at the beginning, he couldn't help but hesitate when he saw the situation.
Pregnant women and children...
Since the end of the world, there have only been two pregnant women in their base so far, one is Yin Jin, a hermaphrodite, and the other is Dong Hongyuan's wife.
The two newborns were treated almost the same as their ancestors at their base. Yin Jin was always on guard and worried about his son's safety at first, but later when Qin Nian had problems with his supernatural powers, Lu Weiyi didn't even wear his collar anymore.
Now Yin Jin has become half of Zhuang Mingxu's assistant, helping to manage the base, and Qin Nian has completely become someone that Zhuang Aiyi and Taotao are looking after.
Li Zhuang's gaze turned to Lu Weiyi from time to time.
"I haven't figured out what to do yet," Lu Weiyi said. When he first discovered it, he had used the space peach tree to let Taotao pass the message to Zhuang Mingxu, but he has not received his reply yet.
"We don't have any researchers in our base. If we tell other bases, it might be a disaster for them," Lu Weiyi said. He noticed someone nearby and quietly moved his mental power around them. He saw Wang Qing standing at the side of the house with bated breath.
Li Zhuang glanced at it and should have noticed it long ago, so he ignored it.
"What if we let them go to our base?"
"Now no one is sure why they have maintained their original ecology here, and how can we guarantee that their bodies will not change when they come into contact with the outside world."
The current situation is inappropriate in any way.
To put it bluntly, it was all caused by greed. Lu Weiyi wanted to explore the reasons why this place was not affected by the end of the world, and he also wanted to know the source of the survival of pregnant women and babies here.
I don't want to give up this place, but the current situation in Yueban Bay really doesn't allow me to spare the manpower and energy to focus here.
But if other bases knew about this...
Lu Weiyi couldn't guarantee that every base would give them human treatment.
He had seen people locked up in the laboratory by Zhuang Mobai. They could no longer be called human beings, but objects at best.
Perhaps because there were mostly soldiers around him, he still felt a little bit uncomfortable with those in military uniforms.
"We leave tomorrow morning?"
"Yes, we have something else to do and can't delay here. Life or death is their fate," Lu Weiyi sighed.
Li Zhuang sat with him for a while, then turned around and went back to his room to sleep.
Before dawn the next day, Qin Xing brought the political commissar he had met yesterday to the courtyard and said straight to the point, "I can give you two-thirds of the transportation equipment here. This is the maximum amount I can give, but there is a condition."
Lu Weiyi gestured to him.
"I want you to take a group of us away and let them study in your base for a period of time."
"Our helicopter can't accommodate so many people"
"We have a Z-8 here, but the fuel was destroyed by the earthquake."
Qin Xing had obviously taken a lot of things into consideration. Seeing that Lu Weiyi didn't say anything, he added, "Eighty percent of our equipment is intact, and two-thirds is a very large number."
Lu Weiyi looked at the people who came with him. They were all wearing combat uniforms, helmets, guns, and backpacks, ready to fight at any time.
"It will take me a few days to go back, and I'm not sure I can guarantee their safety in the meantime."
"Don't worry, Captain Lu, we don't need any protection. If we are defeated and die, it is our own choice." The leading man looked to be in his thirties. He spoke crisply and without any evasion in his eyes. What he said represented what he thought.
"We will definitely not fall behind," said another.
"They are ready to sacrifice at any time," Qin Xing said.
Lu Weiyi glanced at Ning Yuan, who looked around and finally sighed and nodded, "We are all comrades in arms. I don't want you to stay here. It's very dangerous outside. I don't know when the fire will burn here. I hope you can see what you want to see there, and eventually become a steel wall to protect this place."
Ning Yuan gave in, and Lu Weiyi didn't say anything else. In fact, if he wasn't afraid of the impact of the outside world on the people here, he would be willing to bring these people back to the Yuebanwan base. After all... there are thousands of women and children.
"Where do you want them to be placed?" Lu Weiyi asked Qin Xing.
"Let them make their own choice." Qin Xing looked towards the steep cliffs that towered into the clouds in the distance.
They seemed to be imprisoned here, and sending out a few fires would be a way to leave some protection for this place.
After Lu Weiyi agreed, Qin Xing suddenly said, "I also want some fuel. If there is an accident in the future, there is a helicopter here that can take everyone away."
"I don't have much fuel, I can only give you twenty liters."
"Oil is very precious now, and refining equipment is not perfect. What we use is what was stored in the past, and the quantity is not large," Ning Yuan responded.
"Okay." Qin Xing's strength did not give him an advantage in this negotiation. The other party did not refuse to give in, which was already a favor to him. He did not continue to argue.
In addition, he asked for some seeds and the deal was done. He then took Lu Weiyi to the military base.
All the land around here has been cultivated and planted, with wheat and rice swaying in the wind. Many men are weeding in the fields, and when they see Qin Xing and his men coming, they all stand up and look around.
After walking through the endless land, you can see rows of warehouse-like rooms with large iron doors locked tightly.
Qin Xing used the key to open the door. When he pushed it open, he could see brand new helicopters of various models inside.
"You have preserved it very well," Ning Yuan lowered his voice.
"I often ask people to come over to do maintenance as much as possible." Qin Xing walked forward and touched it, "If there was fuel, I would have thought about asking someone to drive it up and take a look."
"Fortunately we didn't go. We were attacked by many mutant birds along the way. If we didn't have special powers, we would have been dead if the plane crashed," Li Qing smiled bitterly.
Lu Weiyi couldn't tell the specific model except for the obvious differences. He signaled Ning Yuan and Li Qing to choose, and asked Li Zhuang to explore what kind of usable equipment was in the surrounding area that was torn apart and buried by the earthquake.
Dozens of helicopters were instantly stored in the space by Lu Weiyi, leaving Qin Xing and the few people who followed him stunned.
"Is this the legendary space?" asked a younger boy.
"Yes, the director of our base has a relatively high level of spatial ability, so the area is also large," Ning Yuan explained for Lu Weiyi.
Lu Weiyi said nothing, and quietly followed Qin Xing to take the part that belonged to us.
Iveco off-road vehicles with boxes, military trucks, all-terrain heavy-duty tractors, large tank transporters...
As they walked along, Lu Weiyi fell silent.
It was just because Qin Xing did not hide anything, but his expression and eyes revealed reluctance.
"Is there anything else you want? I brought a lot of supplies." Lu Weiyi looked at the hundreds of cars in the space and finally felt guilty and asked awkwardly.
Qin Xing laughed and thought about it seriously, "I heard from Ning Yuan that the communication has been restored now. Maybe the terrain here is low and the contact with the outside world has not been restored. If you go out, can you leave a passage?"
"I want to build an outpost close to the land and try to get some news from the outside world."
Lu Weiyi looked at Li Zhuang.
"I'll try my best," Li Zhuang responded, looking up into the sky, turning back from time to time to whisper to Antonio, and finally the two of them disappeared.
It didn't take long for Lu Weiyi to collect two-thirds of the equipment here, and finally took away all the equipment buried underground.
"Your special abilities are really useful," Qin Xing said enviously.
"Don't you need to say hello to the villagers here?" Ning Yuan asked.
"No need, I will inform them of the information outside first so that they can be mentally prepared." Qin Xing said, then turned his sight to the more than 20 fully armed people and introduced them, "Du Quan, Liu Zhuo, Wang Aiguo, these are the captains of the three teams, they will be under your command from now on."
"Since we are all soldiers, please take care of us," Qin Xing said to Ning Yuan and the others with red eyes.
"Don't worry, we will try our best to ensure their safety," Ning Yuan said.
