The next morning, Mou Xuan brought Chen Yao to the camp of the new force again.
The morning sun shone through the mist onto the barbed wire of the camp, and the air was filled with a faint smell of tobacco.
Mou Xuan had his usual smile on his face and was holding a few exquisite gift boxes in his hands, which were specialties carefully prepared by the alliance base.
"Captain Guan, we are here." Mou Xuan's voice echoed in the camp, attracting the attention of many soldiers from the new force.
Their
Leader Guan walked out of the tent. His eyes were still alert, but he managed to force a smile: "Mr. Mou, you are here."
Mou Xuan walked forward and handed the gift box in his hand to Logistics Officer Mao.
Logistics Officer Mao took the gift box, opened it reluctantly, and examined it carefully.
His brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and finally he shook his head: "These gifts...are not worth much."
Mou Xuan felt helpless, but he still kept a smile on his face: "These are specialties of our alliance base. Although they are not valuable, they are all rare materials. I hope that Chief Guan and the brothers of the new force will like them."
Logistics Officer Mao still looked dissatisfied, and his voice was a little harsh: "We, the new force, also have our own specialties, so we don't necessarily need these."
The atmosphere at the scene instantly became awkward. Mou Xuan suppressed his displeasure and continued, "We came here mainly to discuss cooperation matters with Chief Guan."
At this time, Merchant Qiu appeared from nowhere, with a sly smile on his face, and walked to Chief Guan: "Chief Guan, Mou Xuan's alliance is short of supplies, and they can't produce anything valuable. Moreover, I heard that Mou Xuan has bad intentions, and he wants to control your new forces through cooperation."
Chief Guan's eyes became alert again. He looked at Mou Xuan's strategist Xia, who also nodded in agreement. The atmosphere became more tense and depressing.
"Mr. Qiu, do you have any basis for what you said?" Mou Xuan's voice was still calm, but there was a hint of coldness in his tone.
Merchant Qiu smiled, with a bit of pride in his eyes: "Whether there is any basis, Chief Guan will judge for himself. However, I suggest that Chief Guan should be more cautious, so as not to be fooled by others."
Chief Guan's gaze turned from Merchant Qiu to Mou Xuan, and finally fell on Mou Xuan and Shen Yao.
His words made the atmosphere in the entire camp even more solemn: "I need more evidence of your sincerity."
Mou Xuan smiled slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes: "Captain Guan"
He took Chen Yao's hand, turned and left, leaving only a meaningful back.
Outside the camp wall, Mou Xuan sighed softly, with a plan in mind.
Mou Xuan did not directly refute the merchant Qiu's provocation, but instead raised the corner of his mouth with a confident arc.
"Chief Guan, seeing is believing. Instead of listening to slander, why not come to our alliance base in person and see it with your own eyes? What do you think?" This sudden invitation stunned Chief Guan. He subconsciously looked at Strategist Xia, who frowned and seemed to be weighing the pros and cons.
Merchant Qiu's face changed even more, as if he had swallowed a fly, and he quickly tried to dissuade him: "Captain Guan, this may not be appropriate. What if it is a trap..."
"Trap?" Mou Xuan chuckled and glanced at everyone present. "If I really wanted to harm the new force, why would I go to so much trouble? Wouldn't it be simpler to just take action directly?" His domineering remarks made many soldiers of the new force nod secretly, thinking that it made sense.
Merchant Qiu was so anxious that he jumped up and down, and wanted to say something else, but Chief Guan raised his hand to stop him.
Chief Guan pondered for a moment, with curiosity and confusion mixed in his heart.
What does Mou Xuan’s alliance base look like?
Is he really that powerful?
After thinking it over again and again, he decided to take a risk and said, "Okay, I accept your invitation."
Mou Xuan snapped his fingers, "Great! Then please!"
Outside the new force camp, there is a mine entrance blocked by abandoned vehicles. It is said to be a small mine left over from before the end of the world. There may be some residual metal resources in it, but because the entrance is blocked, it has never been mined.
This has become a headache for the new forces. In the end times when resources are scarce, any resource is precious.
Mou Xuan pointed at the tightly blocked mine entrance and turned to look at Chief Guan. "Chief Guan, please let me do my best."
Mou Xuan took a deep breath and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
The air around them seemed to freeze, and an indescribable feeling of oppression came over them, causing everyone present to hold their breath.
The next second, the abandoned vehicles blocking the entrance to the mine seemed to be pushed aside by an invisible giant hand. They floated up one after another and were neatly stacked aside, revealing the dark entrance to the mine.
The whole process took only a few minutes, but it left everyone present stunned.
The ordinary members of the new force exclaimed in amazement, looking at Mou Xuan with awe, as if they were looking at a god.
Chief Guan and Strategist Xia were also completely shocked. They had originally doubted Mou Xuan's strength, but now they had to re-evaluate it.
Mou Xuan clapped his hands and smiled calmly, "It's just a little trick. It doesn't show respect." His nonchalant attitude added a bit of mystery to him, and his image instantly became more noble.
Leader Guan took a deep breath, and his tone was a little more respectful, "Mr. Mou's strength is indeed extraordinary."
"Then can we set off now?" Mou Xuan stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, but his eyes fell on Chen Yao...
Chen Yao's eyes were fixed on Mou Xuan, as if she wanted to engrave his figure into her heart.
