Chapter 364: Requesting People
The people in Kyoto were already in a state of panic after the zombie siege last time. The successive deaths of the Tang family heads also made the other four major families feel insecure.
Everyone knew that before Zhao Li's death, Xing Lie and his men had been to the Tang family. All kinds of rumors spread in the base, but they did not affect Xing Lie and his men from going out in the morning and coming back at night every day.
Xing Lie's team, which never recruited people with special abilities, had a new member in the past few days. This person was originally from the Zhu family, and was almost taken away by the Tang family to be studied together with Gu Xiaoyue, Zhu Gaoting.
The fixed team of thirteen people became fourteen, and everyone was surprised to find that Zhu Gaoting, who was originally just an ordinary earth-type ability user, had awakened a second ability at some point, and it was the same thunder-type ability as Xing Lie.
This was something no one could have imagined. And both the Zhu family and the other families began to secretly send people to keep an eye on Xing Lie's small, dilapidated courtyard, hoping to extend an olive branch to Zhu Gaoting when they returned.
Especially the Zhu family. After Zhu Litao learned about what Xiaowu said to Zhu Qingqing, the shrewd man had not yet completely cut off the relationship between his daughter and Xiaowu.
Originally, for Xiaowu, their Zhu family intended to use marriage to maintain the relationship between them. Zhu Litao didn't dare to think about Xing Lie, because his daughter Zhu Qingqing's temperament and ability could not control him at all.
But now even Xiaowu was uncontrollably trying to sever the only relationship with his Zhu family. Was the plan he had carefully arranged many years ago going to fail?
What exactly is wrong?
After Gu Renbin and Gu Xiaoyue left the Kyoto base, Gu Heqiu took direct control of the medical staff and medical system of the entire base. Moreover, after Zhao Li's death, he directly announced the merger of the Gu family and the Tang family, and Gu Heqiu even took charge of the Tang family's research laboratory staff.
The original five major families have become the current four major families, but in fact, for ordinary people in the base, these have no effect on them.
All they want is to have a safe place to live and food to fill their stomachs every day in the end times.
The people in the base watched Xing Lie's team go out early and come back late every day, and each time they came back they carried a large box of things.
The next day, people from the four major families watched them leave the base empty-handed, and then went into the small courtyard to search, but found nothing.
They even suspected whether Xing Lie and his companions also had a storage space.
However, after the Xing Lie team had been leaving the base early and returning late for ten days, on the eleventh day, they did not leave for the first time. Instead, they came to one of the Gu family's bases, which was the house where the Tang family originally lived.
The people who came to greet him were Gu Heqiu and Zhu Litao.
Xing Lie showed no surprise and went straight to the point after entering.
"Master Gu, I would like to borrow the researchers from the former Tang family research laboratory from you. Do you have any objection?"
Gu Heqiu himself didn't know how to do research. The subordinates and researchers who had supported the Tang family had also joined the Gu family because of survival issues. Those researchers were no longer doing research, but instead stayed in the temporary hospital as medical staff.
Gu Heqiu now had no intention of continuing to develop the Tang family's research business because he found that without Gu Renbin, his position in the Gu family was very unstable. Even after merging with the Tang family, they looked strong on the surface, but they were a mess when they really encountered problems.
Today, Zhu Litao was invited to discuss cooperation. The Zhu family has many resources and connections. As long as they cooperate, with the support of the Zhu family's resources, he can not only use the resources to gain a firm foothold, but also restart the Tang family's research project.
But what he didn't expect was that Xing Lie came here to borrow someone, and the person he borrowed was a researcher from the Tang family.
"Captain Xing, it's not that I don't want to lend it to you. I just took over the Tang family, and many people don't obey me yet. I will not touch them."
Xing Lie's cold face suddenly turned cold, "It doesn't matter, you can leave it to me if you can't command them. They may not obey you, but they will obey me."
"This..." The suppression of aura and level made Gu Heqiu dare not show it too obviously when facing Xing Lie's aggressiveness.
"I don't have much time, Master Gu. It's up to you whether you can help me gather the people or I can do it myself. I will come to see you again before we leave tomorrow!"
"What do you mean you're leaving? Where are you going?" Zhu Litao was shocked when he heard Xing Lie say this. As long as Xing Lie was stationed at the Kyoto base, no matter how tense his relationship with the other families was, as long as the Kyoto base was in trouble, they would at least help resist.
But if they leave, what will they do if they are besieged by zombies again in the future?
At this time, the two of them thought of Hua Yang at the same time. After the incident at the Tang family, Hua Yang, Gu Xiaoyue and even Gu Renbin disappeared, which clearly showed that the incident at the Tang family was related to them.
People from the four major families speculated that Hua Yang and the others had returned to Haicheng.
However, none of the people they sent to Haicheng came back, which made them completely ignorant of the situation in Haicheng and they did not dare to act rashly.
"Captain Xing, Xiaowu, where are you going? How long will you be gone? Is there anything my Zhu family can help with?"
Xing Lie shook his head, "No."
Zhu Litao was embarrassed for a while, but he didn't give up. He had to get in touch with Xing Lie. So Zhu Litao and Gu Heqiu looked at each other, and they both understood the calculation in each other's eyes.
"Captain Xing, you know that my Gu family and Tang family just merged and we need people. You said you want to borrow someone, but I can't ask you to pay me back later. How about this,
I can lend you the people, but I have two conditions. If you agree, not only will I give you all the researchers, but the head of the Zhu family will also give you some food and clothing resources. How do you think?"
After discussing the terms with Gu Heqiu and Zhu Litao, Wu Xianmin returned to the small courtyard and knocked on the door belatedly. With him came a few middle-aged men in tattered clothes, their faces bloodless from hunger.
"Master Wu, you are here."
Wu Xianmin nodded and sat down on a chair. He looked very tired.
"I have prepared the personnel for you, and the communication station at the Kyoto base has also been repaired. As long as we don't encounter a catastrophic disaster like the destruction of the city, there will be no problem.
But, Xiao Xing, did you really come back after going to Haicheng this time? "
"Master Wu, you want to ask about Wu Tianqi, right? I'd like to talk to you about some things. In today's world, if you go to Haicheng by land, the journey is long and your life and death are unknown, as you know.
The originally safe empty road was attacked by a bird monster when Yangyang returned before, and she almost got into trouble. So, if you don’t go to Haicheng with us this time, the chances of seeing your son in the future will be very slim. "
He did not tell Wu Xianmin and Hua Yang that they were researching the sonic dispersal device in Haicheng. After all, it had not been successful yet, and it would be hard to say if it failed later. Xing Lie would not do something that would break hope for others.
"Alas, I won't go! I have spent most of my life fighting for this piece of land under my feet, and I have lost too much. I didn't even take care of my own son. Now, if too many people leave this land of Kyoto Base, who will resist those monsters that will never be eliminated!"
Thanks for laughing and crying more painful, it would be nice to have memories and wait for the monthly votes from friends. A new chapter is coming.
The next update will be around 7pm. I have to go out and buy something big tomorrow. If everything goes well, there will be an update in the afternoon.
