Everyone below fell silent, and Lin Su said directly: "Brother, I've been contacting people from other bases recently, and there's a new response. Would you like to take a look?"
As soon as he said this, everyone who had been silent looked over. The meaning of his words was very clear, that is, the reply was a secret.
Under normal circumstances, Lai Zi would have exploded long ago, but Wang Pojun's temper has been very strange recently. He would even get angry at Ming Tang, let alone him.
Wang Pojun stood up and said, "Come with me."
He left in a hurry, not even caring about Ming Tang who was sitting there.
After the two left, the atmosphere became much more relaxed. Lai Zi said, "Don't be sad, sister-in-law. Big brother has that temper. He'll be fine once his temper subsides."
"Yes, yes." Someone else comforted him.
They seemed to be comforting her, but in fact they were observing her, because the eldest brother's current attitude towards Ming Tang was clearly a sign of his disgust.
"Thank you." Ming Tang sighed slightly and said, "Don't worry, I know Big Brother is just in a bad mood recently."
He left slowly, his heart obviously heavy, as if he had a premonition of his near future.
But in the closed meeting room, someone whistled, and someone patted Lai Zi on the shoulder and said, "It hasn't been too long since a beauty like Ming Tang lasted. Actually, calling her sister-in-law is quite charming."
"Even if the reward comes, it won't be you who gets it first. What are you fantasizing about here?" Lai Zi shook off his hand. Unfortunately, there was no way to find anyone in the central area where surveillance was becoming increasingly strict.
Lin Su followed Wang Pojun into the lounge and handed over the responses given by each base. Of course, cooperation with other bases could not be free. Perhaps at the beginning of the apocalypse, people would still fight for a future of common survival of mankind, but there were too many people who became zombies and too few humans. There was no end to hope in the apocalypse, and people now just wanted to survive and make themselves live better.
Some bases want Ming Tang himself, some want crystal core resources, and require Wang Pojun to go out and encircle and suppress them. No matter which one, it will cause huge damage to the base.
"How dare they? They want so much?" Wang Pojun looked at the whole row, his face flushed, veins bulging, and he was on the verge of rage.
He had never been good-tempered before, but he had been particularly irritable recently. Lin Su's mind shifted a bit, and he said, "06, detect Wang Pojun's ability level."
06 received the mission and reported after completing the detection: [Host, Wang Pojun's ability level has dropped to level four.]
[It seems his patience with Wang Pojun has run out.] Lin Su said.
In the original world line, Ming Tang's innate ability is devouring. He devours the abilities in other people's bodies. The more he devours, the more abilities of the same attribute he will gain. The degree of devouring is controlled by himself, but the level of devouring can only exceed his own by three levels at most. If it exceeds three levels, it will be invalid.
But even so, this talent and ability is enough for him to walk sideways in the end times.
Wang Pojun placed the report on the table, tapped it with his finger, and sighed, "Agree to the request of Qingshan Base."
Lin Su looked at him with surprise in his eyes: "Brother, what Qingshan Base wants is..." Ming Tang.
"It's just one person. If it can bring peace to the entire base, sacrificing one person is nothing. Even without this sister-in-law, there will be others in the future. The end of the world is so cruel. You have to get used to it." Wang Pojun said, looking at Lin Su with a bad look, "Or are you really reluctant to part with him?"
When a man who gets everything by force loses the thing he relies on most, he will become nervous because he has no other way to keep everything he has now. When the future is in jeopardy, beauty does not seem so important.
"Why do you say that?" Lin Su asked.
Wang Pojun's tone was somewhat hostile: "I heard Lai Zi say what you and Ming Tang did in the pavilion."
"Are you talking about sister-in-law... no, Mingtang's ankle sprain?" Lin Su said seriously, "I heard the sound at the time and just straightened Mingtang's bones. I didn't touch anything. I can swear."
He explained it in detail, and Wang Pojun felt a surge of anger rising in his heart. However, he also knew that he couldn't afford to lose his loyal subordinates so easily at this time. "It's just a toy. If you like it, I can let you play with it for two days. It's already dirty anyway, and no one will know if I give it to Qingshan Base. What do you think?"
He was openly giving, but secretly testing. Lin Su frowned and said, "Brother, this won't do. As long as Ming Tang isn't delivered, he's still yours. I won't have any improper thoughts about him."
His direct refusal actually made Wang Pojun's anger dissipate a little. He stood up, patted Lin Su's shoulder and said, "Okay, I knew you were very loyal. Don't worry, I will definitely find you a clean and beautiful girl in the future so that you can get married and have children. There is no need to wade into this muddy water."
Lin Su bowed his head and said, "Thank you, brother. I will contact Qingshan Base right away. You don't seem to have had enough rest recently. Have a good rest. I'll be leaving first."
He left respectfully, closing the door quietly. When he turned around the corner, he saw the man with his back to the wall, tears streaming down his face. The young man seemed to have not expected him to come. He wiped his tears in panic and said, "I'm not... Just pretend that nothing happened today..."
"Okay, I didn't see anything today." Lin Su said with a seemingly understanding look.
He turned his gaze and tried to leave, but Ming Tang grabbed the corner of his clothes. The young man sobbed softly, "Won't you ask me why I'm crying?"
After repeated setbacks, Ming Tang was about to believe that this person had no interest in him. After all, if he really had no interest, he would be too lazy to waste his time on this person.
Tea art literature must be relaxed and tense. If we retreat now, people will definitely lose interest in continuing. Lin Su turned his back to him and said, "Why are you crying? Big brother is just in a bad mood recently."
"Are you really just in a bad mood?" Ming Tang asked.
Lin Su clenched his fingers and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"I heard what you said." Ming Tang took a deep breath.
Lin Su's back stiffened.
When Ming Tang noticed this change, she sobbed and said, "Are you going to contact Qingshan Base to send me over? Am I just your toy? You say I'm not trash, but in fact, I'm just something you can throw away at any time..."
Lin Su didn't respond. Ming Tang loosened his shirt and wiped his tears with his fingers, as if suppressing the urge to cry. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made things difficult for you. You're just Big Brother's subordinate. If you don't do things well, you'll be implicated too. Anyway, it's the same wherever I go. I'm sorry..."
Lin Su knew clearly that he was pretending. After all, the mastermind behind everything was this little guy crying and aggrieved as if the whole world was bullying him, but...
