Chapter 70: No Conspiracy

Lin Yu's eyes flickered and he coughed unnaturally: "No, that's not what I meant."

Tang Yichao opened his lips slightly and said inwardly: Hypocrisy.

"Tsk, boring." Gu Bingchen received Yao Dong's gaze and became a little more serious. He opened the file, glanced at it briefly, and asked, "Tell me, what do you want to do mainly?"

"It's like this, the research institute of the Imperial Capital Base is organizing scientific research talents from all over the country to overcome the vaccine problem. Ms. Gu Hua is a leader. The purpose of this trip is to escort her to Imperial Capital."

Seeing that he was getting to the point, Lin Yu immediately straightened his attitude and listed the tasks assigned by the superiors one by one: "Of course, Shu Chang also said that if Ms. Gu Hua is unwilling, we will not force her."

"We just hope that if there is relevant information about the zombie vaccine, you can share it."

"Then it's useless to look for me. Why don't you just go and ask Gu Hua directly?" Gu Bingchen pushed aside the documents and said, "If you want to know where she is, just ask anyone on the way and they will tell you."

Gu Hua has been running around these days. Almost all the survivors in the base know Director Gu, who has a calm and indifferent temperament, but becomes impetuous once it comes to experiments.

Lin Yu made a stop gesture: "No... Mr. Gu, please listen to me first."

"In addition to escorting Ms. Gu Hua, our other mission is to invite you all."

"Us?"

Long Yilan pointed at herself with her index finger: "Why invite us?"

Gu Bingchen smiled: "Invite? Are you sure you are not soliciting?"

"Old man, do you know that they are here to dig holes in the wall?" He whistled at Yao Dong.

Yao Dong put down the teacup, the smile on his face completely disappeared, and he stared at Lin Yu with sharp eyes. It was impossible to tell whether he was angry or not from his tone: "Captain Lin, it's not good to poach me so blatantly, right?"

Lin Yu was caught off guard by Gu Bingchen's action. It was the first time he had met such a person, and he was a little confused for a moment.

Lin Zipei quickly stood up to speak for his brother: "Everyone...you have misunderstood, you really have misunderstood."

"A superpower exchange association has been organized in the Imperial Capital, brother...Captain Lin means that he invites you to join this association. This will be beneficial to the vast majority of superpowers. It will be great if everyone can improve together."

Gu Bingchen sneered: "Beneficial?"

Chu Wanyue immediately understood the implication of Gu Bingchen and took over the conversation: "Little friend, traveling through mountains and rivers to the Imperial Capital just to join a superpower exchange association is not necessarily beneficial."

"Ah?" Lin Zipei was stunned.

"Let's not count the supplies we need on the way. How can you guarantee that we can go there safely and come back intact?" Chu Wanyue listed all the disadvantages, but couldn't find a single benefit. "So, you see, going to the Imperial Capital is more harmful than beneficial to us."

Lin Zijin suddenly interrupted: "If you can't come back, just stay in the Imperial Capital."

"Besides, aren't you known as the most powerful superpowers? If you can't go to the Imperial Capital safely, it means that your names are all false, and you are just empty names, not worthy of the reality."

The atmosphere suddenly stagnated, the whole room was silent, and no one spoke.

Tang Yichao also admired this young man. Whenever he started to speak, he either couldn't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth, or he just said something that made people unable to connect.

He began to feel embarrassed for others, and he dug his toes into the ground, feeling as if he had dug out a Barbie castle.

"Clap, clap, clap."

The applause suddenly broke the depressing atmosphere, and everyone looked towards the source of the sound.

Gu Bingchen's smile did not reach his eyes: "This is a really good plan, don't you think, Ah Yun?"

Jiang Yunqi, who had not said a word the whole time, pulled down his hand, took out a wet towel and wiped it, and said in a clear voice with indifference: "My hand is red."

The cold attitude of not looking at people directly seemed to anger Lin Yu. He took a few deep breaths, and the smile on the corners of his mouth looked stiff. He said: "The Special Power Exchange Association is organized by the Imperial Base. Special power users from all bases are sincerely invited to participate. Accommodation and food during the event will be reimbursed by the base."

"The purpose of the activity is mainly to enhance the psychics' profound understanding of their abilities in order to improve their level. For you, the benefits will definitely outweigh the disadvantages."

As if he was really angry, Lin Yu gritted his teeth and emphasized the tone of a few words when he said the last sentence.

"Captain Lin."

Jiang Yunqi raised his head, his eyes as dark as ink: "Have you paid attention to ordinary people?"

Lin Yu: "???"

"Don't you think the conditions proposed by this superpower exchange association are too tempting?"

Lin Zipei asked curiously: "You have to offer corresponding benefits to attract superpowers."

"Yes, that's right, you did attract superpowers."

"Then what?"

Lin Yu frowned, very impatient: "What do you mean by then? Just say it."

Jiang Yunqi sneered: "If the superpowers leave, what will happen to ordinary people?"

"By then, all the superpowers in the base will go to the capital, so what will happen to the ordinary people who stay?"

"Captain Lin, can you answer this question first?"

Lin Yu was stunned. His feverish head seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water, which cooled him down and calmed him down.

He had never considered this question before.

Xie Er pushed his glasses and continued following their admiral's words: "You also know that the combat power of a base is almost entirely concentrated on the psychics. Ordinary people can indeed kill zombies, but what if they encounter high-level zombies, or a tide of zombies besieging the city?"

"Without psychics, can ordinary people survive?"

Lin Zijin always liked to interrupt, his words full of malice: "If people can't do it, don't blame the uneven road. They deserve to die. Who told them not to have psychics?"

When he said this, he didn't even notice that everyone's eyes on him were shocked and speechless.

Tang Yichao endured it again and again, stood up, put his hands on the table and asked loudly. He was always sunny and cheerful, but his face was rarely cold: "Are ordinary people's lives not lives?"

"Just talk, why are you so loud? You scared me!"

It was Lin Zijin's louder voice that answered Tang Yichao. He frowned, covered his ears, looked dissatisfied, and had an indifferent attitude.

Tang Yichao suddenly felt tired. He sat back on the chair with his mind blank.

In fact, many people think the same way as Lin Zijin. They believe that people with special abilities are the chosen ones and have the right and qualifications to control the lives of ordinary people. They not only laugh at ordinary people who struggle to survive in the end times, but also do not take the lives of ordinary people seriously.

Some extreme people with special abilities would say, "Kill all these ordinary people. Not only can we save a lot of supplies, but we can also store them as food."

He was thinking at the time, how terrifying! These people with special abilities are more terrifying than zombies.

Zombies are irrational monsters.

Some people with special abilities are beasts who have lost their humanity.

Of the two, the latter are the most conscienceless.

Jiang Yunqi stood up, put one hand in his pocket, and looked down at Lin Yu and others. His eyes were cold, with the pressure of a superior. His aura was so strong that it made people feel cold and dared not raise their heads: "If we don't share the same ideals, we can't plot together."

"I don't think we need to continue chatting."

Gu Bingchen put down his crossed legs, picked up the document, and tore it into pieces in front of everyone.

He stood up and followed Jiang Yunqi to the door. He turned sideways and raised the fragments high. A gust of wind blew and the fragments fell gracefully in the air. Gu Bingchen's eyes were filled with disdain and contempt. He sneered and said, "I don't think I'm a good person, but I didn't expect that some people are really not human."

The two bosses left, and Xie Er and Chu Wanyue were speechless.

"We have no right to control whether the superpowers stay or leave, because that is their choice and we respect it."

"Then please respect the choice we make."

Xie Er's words were relatively gentle. He pulled Long Yilan, who was looking for someone to fight, and looked at the scraps of paper on the ground, slightly embarrassed: "I'm very sorry for disrupting the meeting. These scraps of paper..."

Yao Dong waved his hands and said unconcernedly: "Don't worry about it, I'll clean it up."

Chu Wanyue left a pack of good tea and said to Yao Dong: "You should calm down too. It's getting late. We'll go first."

"Uncle Yao, see you next time."

Tang Yichao really couldn't stay any longer, and ran out of the door in a flash. His loud voice could still be heard a little even when he ran far away.

"Young people are jealous and vengeful by nature." Yao Dong said happily, "They are all good kids."

Tang Zhengqing spat out a mouthful of tea foam and said with a smile, "Well, with them in this world, things will get better."

Yao Dong: "I hope so."

"You must be tired too, go to the guesthouse and have a good rest for a few days."

"As for other things..." Yao Dong held his good tea, walked out of the door slowly, "No hurry, no hurry, sleep for a few days first."

"Xiao You, remember to arrange accommodation for them, my dad should call me back for dinner."

Before leaving, Yao Dong also instructed the secretary to arrange accommodation for them.

"What do they mean? They are sick." Lin Zijin looked at the conference room with all the lights turned off and said unhappily, "What a group of people with no manners."

"Can you shut up!"

The person who spoke was the only girl in the team. She was Tang Zhengqing's youngest daughter and a water-based psychic. Because she was worried about her father's safety, she begged for a long time before the other members of the Tang family agreed to let her go.

She was originally uncomfortable with some psychics who were high and mighty and looked down on everything. She had complained about such people's brains more than once behind their backs.

At first, she didn't understand Lin Zijin's character and had been tempted by his looks, but along the way, she thoroughly saw Lin Zijin's bad character. To say that he was used to being spoiled was a compliment to the young master.

But she didn't expect that this person could break the limit again and say "ordinary people deserve to die."

"You are simply not a human being!"
