Chapter 926 Cheap
Wu Ji was walking back and forth in the military tent, walking back and forth, very anxious. When he turned around, he bumped into the secretary of the alliance who had been following him. Wu Ji jumped up and asked:
"Why are you always following me? What are you doing?"
The secretary was also at a loss, and was so anxious that sweat was pouring down his forehead. He didn't know why he was walking around behind Wu Ji. He was probably anxious. When Wu Ji asked him about it, he couldn't just ignore it, so the secretary had to bite the bullet and ask:
"Chief, what is the relationship between An Ran from Baihua City and Chen Chaogong? Chen Chaogong doesn't have the ability to suppress the Doomsday Virus, so why does she want us to find Chen Chaogong?"
"How should I know?" Wu Ji said impatiently, "The people in Baihua City are all crazy. They gave up an entire forest for one person?"
"You said, is it because Baihua City is afraid of the Kinmen Base that they want to bring Chen Chaogong back and keep him as a hostage for Baihua City?"
The secretary's words were originally unintentional, but after Wu Ji thought about it, they seemed to make sense. He paused and said to the secretary, "Looking at it this way, we are not completely helpless against Baihua City. We must find Chen Chaogong, and after we find him, we must hold him back and not allow Baihua City to extradite him back. This way, we will have bargaining chips for Baihua City's harsh conditions."
No matter how valuable something is in this world, it is not as valuable as human life. The base alliance on the front line can only exist on the edge of the mutant forest if they want to survive. But as long as they endure the humiliation, obtain the pink flower seedlings, and cultivate them in their own base, they can still make a comeback.
However, the experts in Baihua City seemed to have thoroughly studied the psychology of these bases. It was impossible to provide these bases with seedlings by cuttings. An Ran only provided the buds of fresh cut flowers. According to the flowering period of the pink flowers plucked by Wawa, it would take more than a month for a pink fresh cut flower to grow from bud to bloom and then to wither.
After the pink flowers wither, the petals are still fragrant and can be put into a transparent silk bag to make a sachet. At first, the fragrance of one sachet can spread for miles.
But as time goes by, the fragrance will gradually fade. According to experts' predictions, after about a year, the fragrance will only cover the person wearing the sachet. After two years, the entire sachet will become odorless.
So one million crystal cores can buy a base of hundreds of thousands of people for a month without turning into zombies, and one person for a year or two without turning into a zombie. This price can't be considered expensive, right? That's simply too damn cheap.
But even though Baihua City has done its utmost, these base alliances are still trying to get it wrong, wishing that Baihua City would just give them the pink flowers for free. The secretary looked troubled and told Wu Ji the truth: "But Chen Chaogong has been abandoned by us. What should we do if we can never find him again?"
After using the Huahai Base and the destruction of the entire base as a price to prove that Chen Chaogong was not the one who had the ability to suppress the Doomsday Virus, the Base Alliance abandoned Chen Chaogong like a useless rag on the way to the next base.
It was just the day before yesterday. At that time, Chen Chaogong had already shown signs of mental confusion. Seeing that this was a precursor to transformation into a corpse, his companions were afraid of being infected, so they abandoned Chen Chaogong and ran away.
