Chapter 86: Humanoid Weapon of the End of the World 23

Yao Rong said calmly: "Dr. Xiao Bai, I've heard of your name for a long time."

Xiao Bai laughed again, revealing his pleasure: "I thought Dr. Yao would be surprised."

"I only have a few acquaintances in the Central Base. If you are looking for me, it is reasonable."

"Then it will still be a little surprising."

Yao Rong's lips curled up slightly: "I only know that Dr. Xiao Bai is the director of the Central Base Research Institute, but I didn't know that Dr. Xiao Bai's status is so high that he can intervene in the negotiations between the two bases."

"That's not the case." Xiao Bai was very sincere, "I just want to take the opportunity to reminisce with Dr. Yao."

"You and I have an old friendship, so why should we rush to reminisce?"

Once Xiao Bai fell into her hands, she could reminisce about the past, one by one, slowly.

"Compared to me, Dr. Yao seems to be living a better life in the Southwest Base. Also, a scientist who can mass-produce game bracelets will be a guest of honor wherever he goes. Thinking about it this way, it's really a pity."

Others don't understand what Xiao Bai means by regret, but Yao Rong knows it very well.

Before escaping from the Ninth Institute, she was also a guest of honor at the Ninth Institute.

"Scientists also have ideological disputes. Unfortunately, Dr. Xiao Bai and I happen to have two completely opposite philosophies."

Yao Rong's words were not straightforward enough, but the meaning behind them was obvious - people with different philosophies cannot work together.

Xiao Bai was laughing again: "Sometimes this world can't tolerate so many differences."

"It's not that it can't tolerate them, it's just that there are always people who are too controlling and don't want to see a hundred flowers blooming."

Xiao Bai's smile faded a little bit, and his interest in talking also decreased a lot: "It seems that this exchange is destined to end unpleasantly."

"As expected."

Yao Rong handed the microphone back to Fang Weijue.

When Fang Weijue raised the microphone, the person on the other end was no longer Xiao Bai.

After a while, Fang Weijue returned to his seat.

"The Central Base originally planned to call all base leaders to a meeting at the Central Base in the fifth year of the apocalypse."

"We expressed our willingness to hand over this technology, and the Central Base hopes that we can take this technology to attend the meeting."

With Song Xiuping's reminder, Fang Weijue and Fang Shaoyuan had already kicked those restless people out of the base management, and everyone present was trustworthy.

Fang Weijue looked around at everyone present and asked them if they had any objections.

"Why would the Central Base suddenly hold a meeting?" someone asked.

The current traffic conditions are very bad. It is not easy for some more remote bases to go to the Central Base.

It takes at least two months on the road.

It takes nearly half a year to go back and forth.

Fang Weijue replied: "What the Central Base means is that the situation in the major bases has gradually stabilized. Even if some people are temporarily withdrawn, it will not affect the safety of the bases."

"Now the end of the world has been coming for almost five years. The Central Base hopes to use this meeting to reach a consensus and discuss the development direction of the bases from the sixth to the tenth year of the end of the world."

After listening to Fang Weijue's explanation, many people's doubts were temporarily dispelled.

If it were normal, the Central Base would definitely not be so troubled.

But holding a meeting every five years is a tradition that has existed since before the end of the world.

It is normal for the Central Base to continue it.

Only Yao Rong felt uneasy.

After leaving the conference room, Yao Rong went directly to Song Xiuping and asked him if this incident had happened in his previous life.

Song Xiuping frowned slightly.

He rarely recalled things from his previous life.

Fortunately, he still remembered some important time nodes.

After thinking for a moment, Song Xiuping was very sure that

the Central Base had never held a meeting in the previous life.

Because at that time, the Dawn Base was destroyed.

All the major bases were worried that the same thing would happen to them, so how could they have the energy to hold a meeting.

...

The rain was heavy and the wind was rushing outside the window. Yao Rong lowered her eyes gently, listening to the sound of rain to sort out all the things.

There is no doubt that Lu Fei's escape must have had a huge impact on the Ninth Institute.

The Ninth Institute may not have a second No. 9.

In the previous life, the Ninth Institute was able to destroy the Dawn Base without anyone noticing, but it may not be able to do it in this life.

The sudden decision of the Central Base to hold a meeting may be a pure coincidence, or it may be...

related to Xiao Bai.

If it is the latter, all the important figures of the bases are gathered in the central base. If

something goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable! "Aunt Yao, what happened?"

Song Xiuping and others hesitated for a long time, and couldn't suppress their curiosity, so they asked.

After listening to Yao Rong's analysis, Song Xiuping was horrified and immediately backed off: "Can we not go?"

"We are one of the protagonists of this meeting, and we must be there."

After a pause, Yao Rong asked coldly: "Besides, if we don't go, we won't be in danger for the time being. But what if something goes wrong in other bases?"

If the Southwest Base chooses to stay out of it, it will easily become alone.

Staying out of it is not the best choice.

Song Xiuping was speechless.

Yes.

He realized that they were now in a dead end.

They knew that Xiao Bai had problems, that he was conducting dirty human experiments, and that he was a complete lunatic.

But the people in other bases didn't know.

They had no substantial evidence to kill Xiao Bai.

It was precisely because of this that Xiao Bai was so fearless.

Yao Rong reached out and pushed open the window.

The drizzle accompanied by the spring breeze flew into the house, dampening her face which was a little tired due to staying up late for a long time.

"Since I can't avoid it, I'll go and see it myself."

"What comes with danger may not be an opportunity. The more violent the enemy is, the more obvious the fox's tail will be exposed."

***

The Southwest Base was the first to agree to the appointment.

Afterwards, other bases also agreed to go one after another for various considerations.

The Central Base will schedule the meeting four months later, leaving enough time for the major bases to catch up.

Yao Rong, Fang Weijue, Fang Shaoyuan and others sat together for a meeting, and finally decided that Fang Weijue would not go on the pretext of illness, and Fang Shaoyuan, the young base commander, would go on behalf of his father.

"Your wedding with Shuiqing may have to be postponed."

Fang Weijue patted his son's shoulder with a complicated tone.

As early as two years ago, Fang Shaoyuan and Zheng Shuiqing were planning to get married. But Zheng Shuiqing's father died in an operation, so the wedding date was delayed. They had recently re-discussed their marriage, but unexpectedly encountered this kind of thing again.

Fang Shaoyuan smiled, as if he didn't see the worry in Fang Weijue's eyes: "Shuiqing and I have discussed it. We plan to pick a date nearby. Everything will be simple for the wedding, and we will give out wedding candy to everyone." Lu Fei

exaggerated: "This is too unfair to Sister Shuiqing!"

"That's right, our First Army's beloved Deputy General Zheng was kidnapped by you. If you don't treat her well, Xiaolu will not forgive you."

Song Xiuping also joined in to liven up the atmosphere. Fang Shaoyuan didn't know

whether to laugh or cry, and followed their words and said, "Yes, yes, I know Shuiqing has a thousand families, and you don't need to emphasize it."

Zheng Shuiqing sat aside, pursed her lips and smiled again and again. Everyone also knew their limits, and they fell silent after a few words of laughter. Fang Weijue continued to read out the following arrangements - Yao Rong would lead a few scientific researchers to accompany him. Another two hundred people were selected from the First Army, led by Lu Fei and Song Xiuping, to serve as guards for this trip. In a blink of an eye, the departure date was approaching. Yao Rong and the others all received the wedding candies and melon seeds sent by Fang Shaoyuan and Zheng Shuiqing. The wedding candies were not much, just for good luck. The melon seeds, on the other hand, were very characteristic of the Southwest Base. They filled a bag like they were free, and they bulged in my hand. It was indeed free. Anyone who needs to pick the melon seeds growing in the wild can do so. As for the money saved from the wedding banquet, Fang Shaoyuan and Zheng Shuiqing used it to buy supplies and give them to the families of the sacrificed soldiers. Yao Rong took advantage of this last bit of time to let Lu Fei drink another gene stabilizer to adjust his condition to the best possible. After Lu Fei had completely finished the wedding candy and melon seeds, the day of departure arrived. When the army left the city, many people near the city gate saw it. "This is such a grand scene. Where are the troops going?" "I heard they are going to the Central Base for a meeting." "Is our base commander going?" "No. The base commander is not feeling well, so the junior base commander is leading the troops there." "Oh, how sick is the base commander? We ordinary people are living so well, thanks to a sensible base commander." In addition to those who are concerned about the base commander, there are also people discussing this meeting. Among them, there are many smart people who have seen some clues. "In all these years, this is the first time they have gone to the Central Base for a meeting." "It should be a good thing." "It's hard to say. You see, the base commander is claiming to be sick and not going. I don't know if he is really sick or is on guard against something..." After several years of governance, several main roads in the Southwest Base have been cleared again, and cars can pass smoothly all the way. The car's speed slowed down only after they left the southwest base and encountered zombie attacks and abandoned cars blocking the road from time to time. "This is the influence range of the Flame Base." Lu Fei once again carried away the abandoned car blocking the road, dusted off his shoulders, and returned to Yao Rong, muttering softly. "The person in charge of this Flame Base has bad intentions. He has the time to invest in the Ninth Research Institute, but not to develop his own base." He clearly remembered that in the list revealed by Dr. Chen, this Flame Base had long been in collusion with Xiao Bailang. Yao Rong said with a smile: "Although the reputation of the head of the Flame Base is indeed very average, in terms of development speed, even the Central Base has not been as fast as our base in the past two or three years." They have taken advantage of every advantage in the past two or three years. Now they have completely realized a virtuous cycle, and they have long been self-sufficient in food, and can even sell the surplus to other bases that are short of food. Lu Fei's expression changed, and he suddenly became extremely proud: "That's right, a mere Flame Base is worthy of being compared with our base?" After rushing for a month and a half, the main city of the Central Base was in sight. The car of the Southwest Base slowly stopped for security inspection. Someone had already been waiting at the city gate. He was wearing a white lab coat, a pair of glasses on his face, his hands in his pockets, and his expression was cold. Passersby and soldiers looked at him with respect. His eyes patrolled the convoy, and when they fell on Lu Fei, a gentle smile suddenly appeared on his face, which was very contagious and could dissolve people's inner vigilance. "You have grown up very well in the past few years." He said, his voice was mellow, like the breeze passing through the forest, like a steady elder appreciating an outstanding younger generation. Lu Fei wanted to throw out "Who are you?" on the spot. But before he opened his mouth, his arm was grabbed by Yao Rong. Yao Rong rolled down the window and looked at the person who came: "How dare you trouble Dr. Xiao Bai to greet us in person." Lu Fei:? Thinking of the look Xiao Bai had just given him, Lu Fei became angry. That look was definitely the look a butcher would have when looking at a fat, white pig that could be dragged to the slaughterhouse at any time.

"So this is the famous Grandpa Xiao Bai, wow, Grandpa Xiao Bai, I grew up listening to your legendary stories." Lu Fei pretended to be very excited.

Yao Rong frowned and pretended to scold: "You kid, what nonsense are you talking about."

Lu Fei's head was full of question marks: "The legendary story of the pig farmer Xiao Bai, haven't any of you heard of it?"

Xiao Bai's smile did not change: "Several years have passed, and you are still so young, you are really a rough diamond."

Lu Fei: Ah, bah, bah, bah, you are really an old pervert!

Can he kill the old pervert now?
