"Captain Qian, could you introduce me to the leader of the base?" Luo Jingli asked Qian Yangsheng.
“Yes, yes, the base would love to have someone like Mr. Luo. Please wait a moment, I’ll go and schedule a time for you right away.” After saying that, Qian Yangsheng couldn’t wait to go out and arrange a meeting between Luo Jingli and the leader.
"-_-||, that's way too fast!" Sui Yi was dumbfounded. She never knew that Captain Qian could be so impatient.
"Well, let's sit down and wait. Captain Shi will be back in a little while."
Sui Yi nodded and pulled Luo Jingli to a place to sit down.
"Are you planning to join this base?" Sui Yi communicated with Luo Jingli using mental power.
"Yes! That's how it is for now."
"Oh well!"
In less than ten minutes, Qian Yangsheng ran back, panting as he took a breath, and said to Luo Jingli.
"In a little while, you'll come with me to see the leader. With your abilities, you should be able to become a mid-level manager in the base directly," Qian Yangsheng said confidently.
"Hmm!" After saying that, Luo Jingli stood up, dusted off non-existent dust from the corner of his clothes, and followed Qian Yangsheng out leisurely.
On their way to meet Liu Yanzhou, the leader of the base, the two bumped into Zhang Yelin!
"Captain Qian, what's this?" Zhang Yelin pretended not to recognize Luo Jingli and asked Qian Yangsheng with a smile.
Luo Jingli glanced at him. It had been so long since they last met. It seemed that the man had made some progress. He had even learned to remain calm in front of his enemies!
"Oh! We're going to see the leader, we'll be going now." Without giving Zhang Yelin a chance to stop him, Qian Yangsheng left after saying that. When Luo Jingli passed by Zhang Yelin, she turned her head and glanced at him. That one glance made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
Watching Luo Jingli's departing figure, Zhang Yelin clenched his fists, his bones cracking. A sense of unease pounded in his heart; Luo Jingli was becoming increasingly difficult to deal with!
Should I go see Liu Yanzhou? It seems I should take some action.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Yelin went to find his lackey.
"I need you to do something for me. The reward for this is two booster serums and two healing serums."
"What is it?" The offer Zhang Yelin made was undeniably attractive.
"I need you to spread some messages inside the base."
"What?"
"Just say that the new people who came to the base are enemies of humanity, and that he caused the outbreak of the apocalypse."
"Would anyone believe this?" A shock ran through me. This news was explosive; I doubt many people would believe it if I told them.
"Even if you don't believe it, having a doubt is good. Besides, I will find the evidence."
Why did you do that?
"Because that person is my enemy. Do you know his name? Luo Jingli. Nickname: Genius Luo."
"What? He's Luo, the genius who led the research on human evolution?" The man was shocked. Before the apocalypse, Luo was a household name, a powerful figure with a privileged family background and outstanding abilities. His research was the most respected.
"Yes! The apocalypse broke out because the genius Luo made a mistake in his research, which led to the spread of the virus. After the outbreak, he disappeared without a trace!"
"You want to incite public outrage and have him wiped out."
"Ha! To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself. Danger must be nipped in the bud to bring peace of mind."
"Genius Luo is no ordinary person; your little bit of potion probably won't be enough." The man bargained, greedily wanting more payment.
“If you can’t do it, I’ll find someone else.” Knowing that he wanted to raise the price, Zhang Yelin wasn’t stupid and immediately showed that he was not going to do the deal.
"Hey, no! Let's talk this over. I won't ask for too much. Just give me another healing potion, and I'll take care of it perfectly, okay?"
"No way."
"Okay! As you said, leave this to me." With the prize about to slip away, the man, forgetting his greedy expression, had no choice but to compromise. He agreed!
"Very good, I'll give you half of the reward now, and the rest after the job is done." After saying that, he left.
"Pah! What's with the attitude? He was someone else's dog before, ungrateful and now he wants to bite his master. He's an ungrateful dog." Watching Zhang Yelin's departing figure, the man gave him the middle finger and said disdainfully.
Luo Jingli arrived at Liu Yanzhou's office, where he found Liu already sitting inside. Upon seeing Luo Jingli enter, Liu immediately stood up and walked over.
"Hahahaha, welcome, welcome Mr. Luo to our base." Ever since he learned of Luo Jingli's strength, he couldn't wait to recruit such a talent to strengthen his base's power.
Now that my wish has come true, I'm overjoyed.
"I wonder if Mr. Liu would mind if I stayed at the base for a while."
"I couldn't have gotten it."
"One of my requirements is to have enough freedom; I don't like being restricted too much."
"That's easy, that's easy. I agree to everything."
"Old Qian, have you arranged accommodations for Mr. Luo?"
"Everything has been arranged, Chief, please rest assured."
"Alright! Since Mr. Luo and Captain Qian know each other, then I won't make any further arrangements!"
"How about I throw a welcome ceremony for Mr. Luo?"
"No."
"Alright! Whatever you say. From now on, Mr. Luo, you will be treated as a VIP at my base. Except for the most important matters, you don't need to report to me. Does Mr. Luo have any other requests?" Liu Yanzhou was truly delighted with Luo Jingli's talent and gave him ample freedom and authority.
"Thank you, Mr. Liu. I have some other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
"Take care!" Knowing that he had something to do, Liu Yanzhou did not try to stop him. Sometimes, experts are quite aloof, and the more you try to restrain them, the further they will distance themselves from you.
After the arrangements were made at the base, Luo Jingli didn't make any major moves. Except for one time when Liu Yanzhou gathered everyone at the base and introduced Luo Jingli, he kept a very low profile.
After Zhang Yelin learned of Liu Yanzhou's actions, Luo Jingli's jealousy was practically overwhelming. However, he was quite tolerant and managed to keep quiet. But this man was definitely not a kind person; instead, he secretly plotted something big.
Over the course of more than a month, Luo Jingli followed Qian Yangsheng and the others on missions without ever failing. His prestige gradually grew, and many people in the base secretly admired him and had been saved by him.
During this month, Zhang Yelin was not idle. He spent every day researching his potion, hoping that one day the potion would be able to achieve his wish and make Luo Jingli lose to him.
In the pitch-black night, when you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, Zhang Yelin found the person who had made the deal with him and asked that person to start preparing to spread rumors. For the past month, he hadn't slept well for a single day, fearing that Luo Jingli might come to his house and kill him if he wasn't careful. He was living in constant fear.
Having endured for over a month, she had reached her limit. Now she was about to make her move against Luo Jingli.
