Chapter 102: He Picked
Chapter 102: He Picked
Although Ning Fei did not sign up for the drug trial, four people in his team signed up. In the end, two of them got the spots and the drugs were also brought into the team.
Generally, as long as the relationship between the psychic teams is not too bad, they will still lend medicine to each other at critical moments. The research institute does not require volunteers to use the drugs only for themselves. All they have to do is submit an injury report when the time comes.
At the same time, scientific research exchange activities at major bases are about to begin.
The exchange took place at the Huichuan base. According to the original world line, it was during this exchange that Chen Yikun met his adopted daughter. Now that this "mission" is gone, Yu Zhou hesitated for a while whether to send Chen Yikun to the exchange. After all, as the director, it would be easy for Duan Yunhong to do something for Tianyue’s scientific research exchange team. After thinking it over and talking with Ning Fei, Yu Zhou decided to put the person into the exchange team.
Anyway, Chen Yikun should have gone for the exchange, and he wanted to go. If he was not allowed to go, it would seem like he was afraid of Duan Yunhong. In addition, Chen Yikun is Wang Haiyang’s junior fellow student, and if he were to publicize the conditions of the Tianyue Base, the effect should be good.
Of course, Yu Zhou’s care for Chen Yikun was still very good. Apart from anything else, the escort team he sent out was quite impressive. This is a guard team led by a third-level fire-type soldier and composed of multiple psychics and military police. They are not only responsible for escorting the scientific research team back and forth, but also have to pay attention to their safety throughout their stay at the Huichuan base. The most special thing is that Yu Zhou said that this team was specially selected for Ning Fei.
Ning Fei was puzzled: "You picked it for me? Didn't you pick it for those scientists?"
"I picked it for you." Yu Zhou said, "Captain Zheng Liwen, tall, strong, handsome, and most importantly, not greasy. Oh, of course, his sexual orientation is male, I have confirmed this."
Ning Fei: “…”
Ning Fei: "Why did you choose this for me? And how do you know so much about it? Is it second-hand?"
"I'm afraid you'll see it in Huichuan and not be able to eat it, so you'll be angry." Yu Zhou said happily, "I haven't touched it. Who would want to do it with you? Isn't it disgusting?"
Ning Fei raised his eyebrows slightly: "You haven't touched him? Your statement is very problematic. Did he pursue you?"
"Ah, that's a bit of the idea. But I was busy flirting with Yue Fengping at that time. Yue Fengping believes in 'a friend's wife should not be cheated on', and I dare not play two-timing in front of him." Yu Zhou said with a joking tone, "Just meet him, it won't hurt you. Or, do you want to stay chaste for that 'lucky bandit' and not meet other girls at all?"
"Provocation doesn't work on me." Ning Fei said calmly, "It's impossible even if I say I won't meet him. Don't you have any arrangements for him to meet me?"
Yu Zhou replied: "You don't have to answer it. Anyway, theoretically you have nothing to do with Tianyue now."
Ning Fei said, "Okay, you said so. If this matter has nothing to do with me, then I might as well go on a mission when the time comes, and I can avoid suspicion. Remember to train Chen Yikun on how to speak. If the work I have prepared for is ruined, then I will hold you responsible."
"...Okay, okay, okay. I can't win the argument. Can you please meet Zheng Liwen? I beg you." Yu Zhou deliberately said in an exaggerated tone, "Don't be away from Huichuan during the exchange. You have to be able to pick them up at any time if something unexpected happens."
"Tsk, your tone, save it for Yue Fengping to hear." Ning Fei snorted, "Give me the contact information of Zheng Liwen, I will contact him in advance. Let's write a script to meet by chance, and then it will be convenient for us to act together."
"You've been sent the entire team, including everyone's marital status." Yu Zhou said, "If you don't like Zheng Liwen, you can look for other tastes. Anyway, these people are full of energy, and their abilities in that area should be pretty good. If you don't know how, I can teach you."
"You keep saying dirty things. You must be unsatisfied, like a procuress trying to sell something." Ning Fei complained, "Okay, I'll hang up if there's nothing else. I'll contact Zheng Liwen and ask about other bases. Then it will be natural for me to return to Tianyue."
"Very reasonable, let's do it." Yu Zhou smiled, "By the way, if there is anything you want to bring over from Tianyue, please make a list for me. It's inconvenient to bring big items, but small items are fine, I'll ask them to bring them over on the way."
Ning Fei sneered: "I want to eat hot pot, you asked them to come all the way here to bring it to me?"
Yu Zhou: "...I'll find a chef to prepare the base ingredients, freeze them and package them for you, okay?"

The scientific research exchange team did not need to unload or load goods on the road. They just kept going and reached Huichuan from Tianyue in three days.
Although many scientists came, in fact there were not many changes in the Huichuan base. Researchers such as Chen Yikun and Wang Haiyang began to hold frequent meetings and exchanges, while ordinary people lived their lives as usual. Ning Fei did not change his daily activities. He went on missions when he needed to and ate when he needed to. That day, he had just walked a few steps into the cafeteria when he heard a voice behind him calling out, "Excuse me, can I ask you something——"
Ning Fei turned around and saw a tall man approaching. He had a tanned complexion, short stubble, and was wearing camouflage combat gear. There was an unnatural bulge on the back of the coat, obviously a weapon was pinned there.
The man held a card in his hand and gestured to Ning Fei: "Is this meal card valid in this cafeteria? Where can I use it?"
Ning Fei leaned forward to glance at his card and pointed forward: "Over there."
"Are you going to eat too? How about coming with us? We are a combat team from Tianyue Base. This is our first time in this cafeteria, so we don't quite know how to get food." The man pointed to the other young men following behind him, "You have a gun on you, so you are also in the combat team, right?"
"Yes." Ning Fei's eyes swept over them one by one, "Brother, your team is only this small? Did you encounter any serious trouble on the road?"
"No, everything is fine. The others are out there. After all, Huichuan Base is a large base with abundant supplies, and everyone wants to get something they haven't seen before." The man smiled and stretched out his hand to Ning Fei, "I am the captain of this team - Zheng Liwen."
"I am also an unknown team leader, Ning Fei." Ning Fei shook hands with him, then turned his head and gestured, "Let's go and have dinner."
***
The two men connected in this way with extremely natural acting.
Later, two members of Ning Fei's team happened to come to eat, and the two groups mixed together. After everyone exchanged mobile phone numbers, the communication between Ning Fei and Zheng Liwen became less abrupt.
After a face-to-face contact, Ning Fei felt that Yu Zhou's evaluation of Zheng Liwen was indeed correct, and Zheng Liwen himself was more likable than he was during the text message exchanges on the mobile phone. However, Yu Zhou probably had not told Zheng Liwen about his bad idea of "gay dating", and Ning Fei did not sense any hints from the other party in that regard. Judging from the level of ordinary interactions, Zheng Liwen is a very suitable person to be a friend. If Ning Fei is interested in him, he can try to take the initiative to make further advances.
However, Ning Fei would not do that.
It has nothing to do with Duan Yunhong. But since this man had pursued Yu Zhou, Ning Fei was destined to never touch him.
Ning Fei wasn't very interested in becoming friends with Zheng Liwen, but in order to make things easier, the two of them established a good communication relationship. Zheng Liwen also handed over all the things that Yu Zhou had brought to Ning Fei under the pretext of "making new friends that suit his taste". The stuff actually included the hot pot base that Ning Fei (jokingly) specifically requested, as well as cigarettes, alcohol, coffee, etc. Zheng Liwen said that Yu Zhou once wanted to get a coffee machine, but later gave up because he considered that Ning Fei might not be able to get coffee beans.
Ning Fei took the hot pot base and thought about it, and then a plan came to his mind.
So on the day when Chen Yikun and Wang Haiyang had dinner together to "reminisce about the past", Ning Fei and Zheng Liwen's team also had a dinner together in the same restaurant. They booked the box opposite Chen Yikun, and Ning Fei contributed a pack of hot pot base that he had just received, asking the kitchen to make it into hot pot for later consumption. The guys in both teams were young and strong with big appetites, and the speed at which the food was served could not keep up with the speed at which they consumed. Especially the meat, put the whole plate into the hot pot and it will be gone in a few seconds. There is no need to worry about whether the meat will be overcooked.
"Why don't you eat? Didn't you get one?" Zheng Liwen kindly grabbed a chopstick for Ning Fei, and froze for a second before putting it into his bowl, "Uh, do you mind my chopsticks?"
"I don't mind." Ning Fei was pouring wine, and he poured it for him as well, "But you don't have to help me like this. I'm a wind element, so it's easier for me to steal things than for you guys."
Zheng Liwen tapped the table to indicate that enough was enough: "Are you afraid of spicy food? It seems that Huichuan is not used to spicy food. Didn't he... ask them to make it less spicy?"
"He" of course refers to Yu Zhou, but with so many people present, Zheng Liwen couldn't mention it directly. And if there weren't a dozen people making a lot of noise in the box, making it difficult for people nearby to hear their conversation, Zheng Liwen wouldn't even mention Yu Zhou.
"He doesn't care about my taste. Maybe it's better to let me die of spiciness." Ning Fei smiled and picked up his glass and clinked it with Zheng Liwen's. "It's okay. I won't starve, and neither will these animals. But you have more people in your team. I won't share the points with you later."
"It's okay, we'll split the bill." Zheng Liwen took a sip of the wine when he realized what Ning Fei said and asked in a low voice, "Are you paying for everything on your team?"
"I'll take care of this kind of 'team building'. It's not very often, but occasionally, at most once a month." Ning Fei also drank half a glass of beer and replied, "It's not easy for them either. Some of them have wives and children. It's not bad to help them a little bit and make them a little happier."
Zheng Liwen sighed: "You will definitely be very popular when you go back like this."
Ning Fei replied casually: "Being popular is useless, you still need to be strong. If I don't have a third-level supernatural power, no one will listen to me."
Speaking of superpowers, Zheng Liwen perked up. He was very interested in this: "Come to think of it, you are the wind and I am the fire. I heard that if we work together, it will have miraculous effects. Let's try it out tomorrow?"
Ning Fei: "But I have a mission tomorrow."
Zheng Liwen: "Hey, I'll go with you. Let these guys keep an eye on the professor."
Ning Fei: "You belong to Tianyue, I won't pay you."
Zheng Liwen: “It’s free.”
Ning Fei: "...Okay."
The two clinked their glasses again, and the deal was settled.
