Chapter 80 Negotiation
Hua Yang and the other seven people plus Wang Hong followed Yao Mingshan around the square and the armament department, walked through several bends and finally came to a small road by the sea.
At the beginning, there were some soldiers guarding and patrolling in a few places, but the further you went in, the less there was a single person.
It was completely dark at this time. There were nine of them, including Yao Mingshan. They walked on the beach, listening to the waves hitting the rocks and reefs below the path. It was a special feeling.
Hua Yang was not afraid. In such a place with abundant water, she had an innate advantage. Moreover, Yao Mingshan was alone now and could not pose any threat to them.
In addition, this path was by the sea, and she sensed through her spiritual connection that several giant mahi-mahis and a group of their minions had followed her to patrol the nearby reef.
Gu Xiaoyue sneaked up to Hua Yang and whispered in her ear, "Hua Yang, Yao Mingshan must have bad intentions in bringing us here. We have to be careful."
Hua Yang smiled and disagreed.
The five senses of a psychic are very sharp. After hearing Gu Xiaoyue's muttering, Yao Mingshan suddenly snorted coldly and glanced at Gu Xiaoyue, which made her tremble.
"Why does Mr. Yao bother with the little girl?"
"snort."
A few people walked to a building standing by the sea. This building was a bit like an airport terminal, with no surroundings. It was separated from the base by a large open space, and there was a special tram running forward and backward.
Perhaps it was because the base was now short of electricity and the tram had been abandoned and had no use, so they had to walk here.
"This is the tallest building in our military base and also the beacon for the blue sea. Even if you are more than a dozen miles away in the sea, you can still see the indicator light on the top floor from afar."
Hua Yang understood that this building should be a special navigation mark set up by the naval military base for performances or sea voyages. In fact, it has the same function as a lighthouse outside the sea.
It’s just that the light radiation of an ordinary lighthouse is about 30 to 50 nautical miles, and the building here is much taller than an ordinary lighthouse. I think the light on the top floor radiates much farther than usual.
"Let's go. This is the only place in the entire military base that still has power supply. It is also the safest place in the entire Sky Blue City."
Yao Mingshan said as he led a few people into the building. As soon as they entered the door, there was an elevator that went directly to the top floor. There was a dim light in the elevator, and there was a bit of salty smell of sea water.
Hua Yang has been thinking about the danger level of this building since she entered it.
Safety? The place that Yao Mingshan thought was the safest was, in Hua Yang's mind, the most dangerous place in the entire Tianlan City.
The building's foundation is underground, separated from the sea by only some reinforced concrete. If the tide rises, although the entire building will not be submerged, the top of the tower will not be affected at all.
However, zombies are not the only danger in the apocalypse. Evolved life forms are more dangerous and terrifying than zombies. The most terrifying threat is not on land, but in the sea and its creatures, whose depths people have no idea of.
And in the near future, the air will also become a base for predators.
There is no place that is absolutely safe, and we need to be vigilant about everything.
If the school of mabu fish that followed Hua Yang around had not told her through the mental link that there was no danger within three kilometers of the nearby sea area, Hua Yang would never have entered this building.
Just imagine, if Hua Yang had not recaptured the Mabu fish school on Military Avenue, then this lighthouse terminal, which was isolated on all sides, would have been completely vulnerable to the attack of a large number of Mabu fish schools.
The people inside, without any precautions or knowledge, could not keep up with the attack speed of the shoal of mackerel even with guns and weapons.
The mackerel school is just one of the fish groups that people are familiar with in the ocean.
The top floor of the building has French windows on all four sides, and the glass should be bulletproof glass that has passed the military defense system inspection. But in Hua Yang's opinion, these bulletproof glasses are completely useless.
"I have asked for some dinner, girls, would you be so kind as to join me in eating?"
Yao Mingshan glanced at the people behind Hua Yang and complimented them casually. Hua Yang didn't react, but Gu Xiaoyue and Wang Hong stared in disbelief.
Yao Mingshan, who usually didn't even take leader Lin Shuyuan seriously, actually tried to befriend a little girl like Hua Yang with such kind words? This realization was simply incomprehensible to a leader of Wang Hong's level.
But Gu Xiaoyue didn't care at all. She pulled Hua Yang to sit on the seat belonging to Yao Mingshan, and sat down next to Hua Yang.
"Auntie Yu, you come here. Daddy Hua, you come here too. Little brat, come to your sister's side." As she said this, she glanced at Yao Mingshan provocatively.
Yao Mingshan was a leader after all, but his seat was taken away by a little girl. He watched the girl named Hua Yang calmly sitting on his original seat and was unable to say anything.
He was so angry that his face turned pale for a while, and he had to sit down at the other end of the table.
Dinner was very simple, with four dishes and one soup, four vegetables and vegetable soup, with only a little bit of minced meat in the soup. There was rice, and everyone had a big bowl.
"I'm so sorry, the food reserves at our naval base have been very tight since the end of the world. Now the people of Sky Blue City have to rely on our reserves to survive, as food resources are really too scarce."
Hua Yang and the others didn't care. They hadn't been hungry all the way and had no requirements for the dishes. In line with the good habit of not wasting food, everyone ate up the rice in their hands and cleared the dishes.
After dinner, Yao Mingshan didn't beat around the bush with Hua Yang and the others, and got straight to the point.
"Little Miss Hua Yang, I wonder if you guys are borrowing the boat to go out to sea because of something?"
"No comment. As long as you lend it to me, I, Hua Yang, will remember this favor."
Yao Mingshan looked at Hua Yang with a twinkling gaze, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. He only sighed and said, "Alas, it's not that I don't want to lend it to you. It's just that the state's superiors have stipulated that military base ships cannot be loaned out for civilian use. I can't violate the state regulations."
"Bah, you imprisoned Mr. Lin and took advantage of the end of the world to seize power and rebel, and you still care about the state regulations? Yao Mingshan, I advise you to release Mr. Lin as soon as possible, otherwise, I will not let you go." Gu Xiaoyue pointed at Yao Mingshan's nose and shouted, not giving this seemingly majestic leader any face at all.
Hua Yang pulled Gu Xiaoyue's hand down, took her aside, and signaled her with her eyes not to get excited.
"Xiaoyue, excitement won't solve the problem."
"Yes, Gu Xiaoyue, you are also familiar with military regulations, how can you be so irritable? After all, you are too young and not smooth enough in dealing with things. You are too naive."
Hua Yang raised her lips slightly and smiled at Yao Mingshan. This childish face was highlighted by her smile. With such a beautiful face now, wouldn't it be stunning in two years? In this end times, a little girl's appearance is so outstanding, and it is not known whether it is good or bad.
"Mr. Yao, I don't want to beat around the bush. In this end times, I believe you know better than me what Tianlan City is like now. Country? Laws? To be honest, the emperor is far away and can't really control you. Whether you want to seize power or establish yourself as king, it has nothing to do with me."
"Hua Yang! How can you say that? Mr. Lin has devoted his entire life to this military base. We can't let this villain take over the power! You must quickly ask Yao Mingshan to hand over Mr. Lin."
Yao Mingshan frowned and looked at Gu Xiaoyue. There was anger in his eyes, but also a hint of complexity which was captured by Hua Yang.
"Xiao Yue, shut up first." Hua Yang could understand Gu Xiaoyue's current mood, but the world has changed, and many things can no longer be regulated by the original rules.
Gu Xiaoyue was stunned by Hua Yang's shouting, and turned away with a puffy face. She knew she was impulsive, but since it was related to Mr. Lin's safety, she had to be anxious.
"Mr. Yao, it's just a ship. If you borrow it, I can help you solve a problem at the naval base."
