Su Tao immediately became extremely alert and politely welcomed them all in.
She originally wanted to take the man to the hotel lobby on the first floor to sit down and talk in detail.
Unexpectedly, Lei Xing refused and smiled at her, revealing his two fangs. His golden vertical pupils stared straight at her and said:
"Boss Su doesn't look very old."
Su Tao said calmly, "Captain Lei, does he still consider the employer's age when accepting a mission?"
Lei Xing suddenly moved closer, but stopped two steps away, looked her over carefully, and smiled:
"No, but since this is my first time meeting such a young female employer, I should at least be curious."
Su Tao nodded generously:
"I agree. Is your curiosity over? Captain Lei seems like a straightforward person. Since you don't want to go upstairs, let's talk here. You name your price first."
Lei Xing's eyes curved with laughter. "How interesting! You seem quite confident. If I tell him I want half a ton of fuel, half a ton of food, and a kilogram of industrial pure titanium, can Boss Su afford it?"
"I, Lei Xing, have a good reputation in this field. I won't ask you for an exorbitant price. This reward is absolutely reasonable for your mission. See."
As he spoke, he took out his communicator and operated it for a while, and a holographic 3D sand table map appeared in front of Su Tao.
"This is Shou'an, the base with the most zombies right now. Their warlords don't care about things, resulting in a large number of casualties, and they don't deal with them in time. The aroma of flesh and blood attracts all the zombies around. It's not easy to break in and rescue people."
Su Tao frowned. She didn't expect Shouan to be in such a serious condition.
She thought for a moment and said, "Fuel and food are no problem, but I'll trade for industrial pure titanium."
She didn't even know what industrial pure titanium was, so where could she get it?
Lei Xing didn't expect that she agreed to the first two conditions so easily, and he began to think more seriously.
It is definitely not an ordinary person who can come up with so much food and fuel.
But no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of any organization, family, or force that had someone with the surname Su who was so young.
The teammate next to him gently touched him and pointed to the place not far away with his chin: "Boss, is the tanker real or fake? Is it a model?"
Lei Xing looked over and saw four brand new gas pumps and even charging stations. His pupils suddenly widened.
But he shook his head calmly: "Compared to the first two, I actually want industrial metal titanium more."
Su Tao's face looked a little bad:
"Captain Lei, I'll be honest with you. You can get whatever supplies you want, but I don't have any industrial titanium. If you insist, I'll have to find another mercenary team to cooperate with."
Lei Xing showed no sign of backing down. "Boss Su is from Dongyang, so he must have some connections there. Dongyang isn't a small base, so ask around and you're sure there's storage of rare metals there."
Su Tao's face became even worse: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Xue Dao, who had been lying down, suddenly stood up, baring his teeth and growling.
Seeing this, the people from Baotu became alert. They were all big and strong, making Su Tao look even smaller and weaker.
She said coldly, "Captain Lei, please go back. We won't be able to work together this time."
Lei Xing really underestimated her. Facing more than ten men, she showed no fear at all.
Is it because he has the strength and is fearless, or is there something else going on?
Lei Xing calmed his teammates and turned to Su Tao and said:
"Boss Su, if you find another mercenary team, it might be too late. I've been to the address you mentioned. That building can only hold out for three days at most. The family probably won't be able to wait for you to find someone to rescue them before the zombies break in and tear them apart."
Su Tao said, "Don't set the tone. Whether it's too late is a matter for me, the employer, to consider. Now I only ask you one question: can the conditions for the rare metals be changed? If not, you can leave now. I won't say goodbye."
Before Lei Xing could get anxious, a teammate behind him got anxious first.
He looked at Lei Xing with difficulty and whispered, "Boss, don't worry about me. Although this mission is not easy, the reward is enough for us to eat and live for a year. Now there is a shortage of food everywhere, so it is better to store food and oil."
They spoke in a low voice, and Su Tao did not hear them, but seemed to have guessed something and asked:
"What do you want with industrial metal?"
Lei Xing looked at her somewhat childish face, and with rare patience, he asked the man who had just spoken to come out and explained:
"This is my brother Fire Snake. His special ability is fire control and arson. He can produce ultra-high temperature blue-white flames, but he lost one of his hands during the last mission."
Lei Xing pulled open Fire Snake's sleeve, and Su Tao saw the bare wrist.
"Due to the unique nature of his abilities, the prosthetic limbs he creates must be able to withstand extreme temperatures. Ordinary materials won't work, so we have to use industrially pure titanium, which is said to be a specialized aerospace material from before the apocalypse."
Su Tao had an idea in mind, but still asked:
"Have you ever thought of other methods? Like finding a healing psychic?"
Lei Xing said: "I have looked for it, but it is as difficult as finding industrial metal titanium."
Su Tao nodded: "What a coincidence, I happen to have a healing psychic here who can regenerate severed limbs."
These words stunned everyone present.
Lei Xing's eyes were different, his golden pupils shrank slightly. "How can I prove what you said?"
Su Tao shook her head: "It cannot be confirmed. The person with superpowers is in Dongyang right now, not here. Once you rescue the person and send him to Dongyang, you will be able to see him soon. I will ask him to arrange treatment for you."
This made Fire Snake suspicious, and he questioned it out loud on the spot:
"I don't trust you. You're a major supplier of supplies that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and you even have a rare healing ability user under your command. I have no evidence. We at Leopard Path have traveled extensively throughout the years and have never heard of you. God knows if the supplies you promised us are real."
"The more I think about it, the more it seems wrong. And that Ma Dapao who contacted us is just a small-time solicitor, but he's actually doing things for you. With such a big background, why don't you use someone with a good reputation?"
This is almost like calling her a liar.
Su Tao never thought that keeping a low profile would have this disadvantage, that is, people would suspect that she was trying to cheat and deceive people.
She was speechless. "Why don't you go back and ask around in Taoyang? That's my territory, but time is running out. You must give me an answer before 8 a.m. tomorrow. If you miss that time, I'll contact other mercenary teams."
Should she promote Taoyang and her personal deeds?
It's really troublesome to get things done without some fame.
"I believe you." Lei Xing said suddenly.
"We accepted this mission."
He showed his two fangs, stretched out his hand and said with a smile:
"I won't ask. I like excitement and unexpected surprises. I want to take a gamble. I hope Boss Su won't let me lose."
