After breakfast, Chen Zhe arrived, and they went to the conference room together. The cabinet members were already waiting there, and Xia Yixin even saw several faces that the original owner often saw on TV before the apocalypse.
Without much fanfare, after the meeting, P Base presented a brand-new cooperation contract, demonstrating their utmost sincerity in order to solidify their partnership with Dawn Base.
"Captain Xia, although we in the Cabinet are all very moved that someone still has such a high level of awareness of 'a community of shared destiny' in the current situation, the future will definitely be a long-term cooperation. We have revised the contract in the hope of consolidating our cooperative relationship," Old Master Chen said loudly.
Xia Yixin carefully reviewed the contract and discovered that, in addition to the unchanged price of the virus vaccine, P Base would provide Dawn Base with a certain "subsidy" every year, and the two bases would also have regular exchanges every year. P Base would provide weapons and equipment without limit, which was truly a show of sincerity.
She understood that what Grandpa Chen meant by doing this was to "bind" them. The virus vaccine would be the most powerful "weapon" in the post-apocalyptic environment, and whoever controlled it would have more initiative in the future.
If we were to be polite at this point, it would be considered impolite.
Xia Yixin closed the contract, stood up readily, and extended her hand to Old Master Chen. "P Base has given Chenxi such great face, so I will accept it without hesitation. From now on, we are brother bases, sharing weal and woe, and creating a new world together."
“Alright, Brother Base!” Old Master Chen grasped her hand, and the two sides reached an agreement.
After the contract is signed, it will officially take effect after the first batch of 1,000 doses of the virus vaccine is delivered by Dawn Base after the blizzard season ends in March next year. At the same time, P Base will also deliver all the exchange supplies half a month in advance.
Xia Yixin explained the situation to the Dawn Base. Currently, Dawn Base is focused on the mass production of the virus vaccine. The other six bases have also expressed their intention to cooperate via radio. With the contract from P Base in place, the other bases felt both regret and remorse, and expressed their requests for future alliances. Thus, although Dawn Base is not large enough, it has become the eighth largest base.
The low price of the virus vaccine has also won over a large number of people's hearts.
It wasn't dark outside yet, but the wind picked up again. However, the center of this blizzard was a bit far from P base, so it was still relatively calm here. This kind of weather would last for nearly three months, and ordinary vehicles couldn't pass at all. However, Xia Yixin and Lu Yan were different. After discussing it, they decided to leave P base and return to Dawn in three days.
Grandpa Chen also took the opportunity to hold a small banquet in Zone 1, modeled after the pre-apocalyptic format. Many superhuman teams from Zone 2 were also invited. In the 100-square-meter banquet hall, if it weren't for the fact that both men and women were wearing white or black base uniforms, it would be easy to forget that you were in an apocalyptic environment.
The most popular people at the scene were undoubtedly Chen Zhe and Xia Yixin. The former was the city lord, while the latter was the person who brought the virus vaccine. Fortunately, Lu Yan stood behind her with a stern face, otherwise she would probably have been swallowed up by the crowd.
After finally squeezing out of the crowd, she discovered that she wasn't actually the most "miserable" one. As the city lord, Chen Zhe was outstanding in both appearance and superpowers. Naturally, many "old acquaintances" from before the apocalypse brought young girls to get to know him at such a great occasion.
Chen Zhe was suddenly surrounded by women and couldn't get out.
Grandpa Chen, on the other hand, didn't care at all, and even seemed to be happy about it. It seems that no matter before or after the apocalypse, older single people will be pressured to get married.
She strolled around the buffet area, but seeing that it was mostly canned food, she reluctantly ate a few bites and put down her fork. She was getting a bit tired of eating canned food after all this time.
Just as she was about to put down her plate, someone replaced it with a small cake lying quietly on the new plate. She looked up and met Lu Yan's smiling eyes.
"Eat quickly, this is the last one."
As one of the few dairy products available after the apocalypse, cakes are precious in every base. When they were squeezed out, the cakes on the table were all taken away. No one knows when he hid one.
Although there were no strawberries and cream, the sponge cake was a texture she hadn't tasted in a long time, but she didn't eat it right away; she was still holding a grudge.
Today she was wearing the standard white uniform of P base, which was a long-sleeved fleece-lined round-neck white T-shirt and high-density thermal white trousers. Although she was dressed the same as everyone else, she looked slimmer. Her short hair had grown a bit long and she had tied it up. She looked like a girl who was not even twenty years old.
Seeing that she wouldn't eat the cake and angrily poked at it several times with a fork, Lu Yan pulled her to a less crowded place.
"I didn't touch that woman." He had been holding back since morning, and finally had a chance to be alone with her. He immediately finished what he hadn't finished saying before: "That woman was pregnant and had been trafficked. I did that to protect her. If I hadn't brought her back to my room that night, she might not have survived until the next day."
"So?" Xia Yixin deliberately put on a stern face. In fact, she had already forgiven him when he talked to her with a nervous expression, but she suddenly became arrogant.
"So it was just an act, something I did on purpose for them." He was eager to explain, but regretted it as soon as he finished.
Xia Yixin frowned, suddenly recalling how he had let those voluptuous women take advantage of him at the bar that day, and tentatively asked, "How far did you go with this charade?"
Lu Yan's strong will to survive instantly made him sense her rising jealousy.
He avoided the direct confrontation, explaining, "Before I regained my memories, I didn't know you were me."
"Okay, I understand what you mean." Xia Yixin suddenly felt a little irritated. She felt that Lu Yan's words were reminding her that she was being unreasonable. But the thought of that woman sitting in his lap or even touching him made her angry.
Did she kiss him?
Even if it was just a fling, the thought of that possibility made her heart feel like it was being squeezed tightly by a hand.
At this point, Lu Yan hadn't regained his memories and didn't have as much "experience" as before. In this situation, it would have been better for him to explain the situation clearly. He had simply carried her away in public, and her seduction was nothing more than a pretense of touching his arm.
Her rejection actually angered Lu Yan a bit. After all, without the support of previous emotional memories, all his feelings for her came from instinct, and this instinctive love exposed its drawbacks when faced with conflict.
Just as the atmosphere between the two of them reached its lowest point, a hesitant female voice suddenly sounded behind them.
In an environment where Mandarin is spoken all around, this blonde, blue-eyed girl who speaks Mandarin is particularly eye-catching.
"Fred, is that you? My God, it really is you!"
