Chapter 95: Baimao and his lover
Chapter 95: Baimao and his lover
Three years after the first zombie outbreak, Tianyue Base.
Ning Fei followed a young man who led the way, walking through the corridors of the building. The building is decorated in a simple style, but there are a lot of people active there and it is heavily guarded. Many manual checkpoints would question the young man about who he was carrying and what he was doing there, but as long as the young man showed a letter, the two would be let go without any problems.
Finally, after layers of interrogation, Ning Fei was brought to the door of a room.
"Mr. Ning, Minister Yu is waiting for you inside." The young man said and knocked on the door. A voice of "Come in" came from inside, and the young man opened the door and let Ning Fei in: "Please."
Ning Fei walked into the room and the door slowly closed behind him.
And in front of him stood a man. He is tall and strong, but his face is delicate and his smile makes people feel gentle and friendly. The most eye-catching thing is his long silver hair, straight and shiny. Even if it is simply tied behind the head, it is very eye-catching.
This person himself is an extremely eye-catching guy.
Seeing Ning Fei coming in, the silver-haired man smiled at him first: "You're here."
"Stop." Ning Fei raised a hand, "Tell me first, what superpower did you choose?"
The man smiled, his tone gentle, but what he said was quite explosive: "Mind reading, advanced level can be controlled."
"I know you won't feel at ease unless I have control." Ning Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, "I don't like this, you'd better not do this to me."
"Don't worry, Xiao Ningfei." The man chuckled, "It's hard for me to read people with high-level abilities, let alone control them. Aren't you level three in the wind element? I'm only level four, and it's too hard to read you. I can't read you without you noticing."
"Don't call me 'Little Ningfei'."
"Why not? I used to call you that."
"How long ago was that? You don't think you're still my teacher, do you?"
"Why not? 'Once a teacher, always a father.'" The silver-haired man blinked gently, "So by that count, I am also your 'father'."
"Yu Zhou, did you call me here to show off your fatherly side in front of me?" Ning Fei didn't want to dwell on this nonsense anymore. He turned around and found a chair to sit down, then changed the subject. "Just tell me about your mission."
"As expected of you, you are still so motivated. I knew it was right to ask you to come." Yu Zhou walked to the side, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Ning Fei. "There's nothing good to treat you here. Drink some water first. I'll share half of my hidden coffee with you later."
"Give me all the coffee you stash. What do you want me to do for you?" Ning Fei took a sip of water and then said, "I've read the original owner's wish. He is a scientist without superpowers. He wants to save his parents and adopted daughter who he failed to save in his previous life, and wants his girlfriend who betrayed him in his previous life to get the due punishment. He also wants his family to live a good life in the base, and his research can make a contribution to the base.
"Isn't this a simple matter for you? Compared to the difficult tasks you have experienced before, this one is nothing. Is there any hidden difficulty here?"
"This part is indeed not difficult." Yu Zhou also pulled a chair and sat down opposite him. "Chen Yikun is now working in the research center of Tianyue Base. His parents are also in the base, and they usually help with some cleaning work in the community. I also found the orphan who was originally going to die prematurely due to lack of nutrition. I handled the adoption procedures for them, and now they live with Chen Yikun's family."
"Then what's left? Haven't you already done it?" Ning Fei was puzzled. "You failed to find his ex-girlfriend?"
"Found it and cleaned it up." Yu Zhou said these cold words, but his tone was calm as if he was chatting casually. "Now that woman is also in the base. I don't know how she makes a living. Maybe she sells Y."
Ning Fei was not surprised at all. He knew very well that this was Yu Zhou's style. If Ning Fei is often ruthless during missions, this style is to some extent derived from Yu Zhou.
"She has also been dealt with. Doesn't this mean that the mission has been completed?" Ning Fei was even more confused. "Why are you still hanging around here? And you even asked me to come?"
Yu Zhou smiled slightly: "I want you to do me a small favor."
Ning Fei: "If you have something to say, just say it."
Yu Zhou: "I want to put an end to this zombie crisis once and for all."
Ning Fei: “…”
Ning Fei: “Huh?!”
***
Making only one person and his family better and his enemies worse, and forcibly influencing the development status of the entire world, are two completely different tasks.
The time, energy and even luck spent on it vary greatly. Of course, the more you put in, the more you will gain after you succeed. However, Ning Fei finds this kind of task troublesome and the cost-effectiveness may not be high, so he rarely chooses this kind of task. Not to mention that Yu Zhou had only taken on a task of average difficulty, and the reward after completing it was totally inconsistent with what Yu Zhou had requested.
In response, Yu Zhou said: "As long as you succeed, I will personally give you 3 million points when I return."
Ning Fei: “Huh?”
Yu Zhou: "4 million, no more."
"No, wait a minute." Ning Fei stopped the bargaining process. "Why on earth would you want to do such a thankless job? You will never suddenly realize that you want to save the world and be kind-hearted. So, tell me the reason. I want to know the truth."
Yu Zhou was silent for a while.
He suddenly smiled again.
"Well, I have to tell you eventually." Yu Zhou had a relaxed expression on his face, and was a little relieved. "The truth is, this is actually a person's wish, and I want to help him realize it. I will take you to meet him later, but he doesn't know my true identity, let alone that I called you to help make his 'dream come true'. Your current identity is that of my former student, who has come to me and is ready to work with me. For other details, just tell me according to your identity, so don't let anything slip."
Ning Fei wanted to frown, but he held back. He remained expressionless.
He had already heard the implication of Yu Zhou's words, but he still asked the question: "Who is this person to you?"
"My...partner?" Yu Zhou smiled lightly.
"I'm in love with someone."
***
The person introduced by Yu Zhou was called Yue Fengping, the commander-in-chief of the Tianyue Base.
He is thirty-five years old, a former special forces soldier, and has a tanned skin. He has a strong and sturdy build, and where he stands, he exudes a sense of oppression as if a knife is licking blood.
But this is the kind of person who is very thoughtful. During the ten minutes or so that Ning Fei met him, several groups of people came to ask him questions, and he responded quickly and gave decisive answers. Ning Fei listened and although he didn't know whether those decisions were correct, he was sure that Yue Fengping's instructions were very clear and could be executed by those who heard them without any doubt.
There is no doubt that Yue Fengping is indeed very suitable to be a leader in such critical times.
In addition, Yue Fengping can quickly return to the previous topic after interspersing other events. For example, as soon as the person who came to ask questions left, he could turn around and continue talking to Ning Fei: "You just said that you have a lot of combat experience and can train other psychics, right? What is the highest level of infected body you have fought?"
"A level four mutant wolf, with two level two and three deputy mutant wolves, and a few fragile primary mutant wolves. But I'm not fighting alone, there are three teammates." Ning Fei has actually never fought in this world. He was at the Tianyue base as soon as he came in. These were his previous records in other similar worlds, and they were not his best records. He didn't want to exaggerate himself too much. What Yu Zhou wants him to do is not just to go out and fight and kill, he has to move into a management position.
After all, Ning Fei does have experience in saving the world.
As long as there is no super-strong person whose individual ability is millions of times greater than that of others and who can make the final decision alone, saving the world ultimately depends on management organizations. No matter how many powerful weapons, powerful psychics, and impressive scientific research levels you have...with so many good cards, they can only be made "better" by high management skills.
"It sounds amazing. Maybe I am just uninformed. I have never heard of such an exciting battle before." Yue Fengping smiled. "Sorry, I don't mean to doubt your ability. Level 3 wind-type psychics are very rare in our base. I will definitely welcome you. But can I ask you something? You said you fought with 'three teammates'. Are those three teammates also coming to Tianyue Base...?"
"I don't know." Ning Fei replied decisively, "Wild team, wild people, sometimes the cooperation feels good, but in the long run, they are different in their principles and cannot make plans together. Commander Yue understands this, right?"
His tone was too frank, Yue Fengping could not raise any doubts: "Haha, I understand. Then you can follow Yu Zhou to get familiar with our base, and then we can see what you are suitable for after a while. I will definitely arrange a position for you to perform best, and then Yu Zhou and you can come and discuss with me. If you need anything, tell Yu Zhou, we will try our best to arrange it. But Tianyue is not as good as Jinghui and Huichuan after all, so please forgive me if there is any inadequacy in taking care of it."
Since he was so polite, Ning Fei certainly wouldn't have any objection. They chatted for a few more sentences and then said goodbye. Before leaving, Yu Zhou said to him, "Don't stay too late at night. Ning Fei, come and have a simple welcome dinner with us."
Yue Fengping simply said "OK", and Yu Zhou took Ning Fei away.
The two returned to Yu Zhou's office. Yu Zhou closed the door and turned around to ask Ning Fei what he thought: "How was it?"
"Not very good." Ning Fei replied, "It's the style you like."
"Ha, so obvious?" Yu Zhou laughed. "Then you guessed his thoughts quite well. He likes those who are tough, brave and decisive. If he knew that you chose the wind system in order to escape quickly and protect yourself, I'm afraid his impression of you would be greatly reduced."
"It doesn't matter what impression he has of me. Anyway, if he disagrees with my suggestions in the future, you will be responsible for convincing him and forcing him to push through." Ning Fei's tone was casual, and then he suddenly said, "By the way, you introduced someone to me, so I want to introduce someone to you too."
"How strange." Yu Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly, "Who do you want to introduce?"
Ning Fei: "A... 'lucky bandit' who may completely ruin your mission."
This time it was Yu Zhou's turn to frown: "...Huh?"
