Chapter 207
Xiaokai's team is growing
Over the course of three years, Xiao Kai's team has recruited eighteen more people, each of whom has some skills.
There are people who know how to farm, people who understand machinery, and a botanist who can research which plants are edible, what effects and functions each plant has, and can maximize its value.
Before he met Xiao Kai, the old man was unable to go out to collect supplies due to his age and lack of labor. He was often rejected or bullied by others. Only Xiao Kai took him in.
When Xiao Kai picked him up, the old man was only breathing his last breath.
For this purpose, Fang Xin specially sent several instruments to this person for research.
It also creates a lot of value for the base and contributes a lot of strength.
For example, he developed an anesthetic solution, which he applied on the shell of a soldier or a dagger. Even if the blow was not fatal, it could still make the opponent unconscious.
Even when surgery is needed for an external injury, some of it can be used as an anesthetic.
If you are not sure whether the plants you collect outside are edible, you only need to look at them once with him to find out whether they are edible, what their uses are if they are not edible, etc.
In short, the old man who was disliked by others became a very useful person to Xiao Kai.
Xiao Kai hung up the phone with a serious look on his face. Although he agreed readily, he knew the difficulty of this task.
He is the leader of the base and has a lot of protection around him, so it is difficult to attack him.
He walked around the room with a frown on his face. He couldn't just rush in out of enthusiasm. He had to have a thorough plan.
As the number of people in the base increased, he rarely went out on missions and stayed at the rear.
He stopped walking back and forth, he couldn't think of anything, so he wanted to find someone with more ideas to discuss it with. So he strode out of his lounge, raised his head and looked around, and saw Xiaowu wandering in front of him.
"Xiaowu." He shouted to Xiaowu.
"Hey," Xiao Wu heard the noise and ran over immediately with his teeth bared, "Brother, what's going on?"
"Where's Wang Bin?"
He knew the movements of everyone in the base, so he replied, "Wang Bin is still on a mission."
"That's fine, just wait for him to come back."
Wang Bin is a middle-aged man in his forties who was recruited last year. He has strong investigative capabilities and was also framed by the C City base and escaped, so he knows more about C City.
Zooming out, we can see a piece of land far inside the base, where various vegetables, red, green, and purple, are growing well.
Ever since someone in the base learned how to farm, the land that had been reclaimed was handed over to this person for management. After two years of cultivation and restoration, the land finally regained some vitality.
At this time, the land was planted with various vegetables transplanted from outside.
Ever since that vegetable patch was built, the base has never been short of vegetables. While others are still running around collecting supplies, Xiao Kai's base has become self-sufficient and has even surplus vegetables to exchange for needed supplies.
At night, Wang Bin sat in Xiao Kai's lounge, his face a little heavy, "Brother Kai, kidnapping the base commander of City C is not an easy task. Are you sure you want to do it?"
Xiao Kai nodded affirmatively, "Let's do it. After the success, we will have 1,000 kilograms of food."
Wang Bin stood up from his stool and asked excitedly, "How much?"
"1,000 jin."
"Oh my god, this is going to work." Wang Bin excitedly knocked his other hand with his fist, "This is better than us going out to kill mutant insects."
As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. When Wang Bin heard that there was so much food, he also took it seriously.
"Fuck, Brother Kai, let's do it."
"Well, how to do it?"
He walked around the room with his hands behind his back, his brain working rapidly, "We have two plans. The first is to sneak into the base and catch him. The second is to ambush him outside the base and catch him when he leaves the base."
"The former is more dangerous, while the latter takes longer and requires patience. You can't be sure when the guy will leave the base. He may not leave for a year or two."
He stopped walking, turned around and looked at Xiao Kai who was sitting next to him, "Brother Kai, what are you doing?"
Xiao Kai frowned slightly, "Sneak into the base. The second option is too time-consuming. We can't afford it."
"Okay, then we have to study it carefully." His mind kept turning, and after a while he lowered his voice and said, "Let's do this, then this, and then this, and see if it works."
Xiao Kai nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, this one is fine. Although it's a bit dirty, but... it's safe."
At night, when it is quiet.
Xiao Kai led Wang Bin, the second and third brothers, a total of four people, to a sewer entrance outside the C City base.
Each person was wearing combat uniforms, a black coat on the outside, a chest bag on the front, a dagger hidden in the sleeve, a pistol on the waist, and night vision goggles on the head.
The second and third brothers stepped forward, bent over and started prying with iron rods. A friction sound was heard and the manhole cover was slowly pried open.
Then two people lifted the manhole cover and slowly moved it to the side, revealing the wellhead.
The two men have been raised in the Xiaokai base for several years, and their physical fitness has improved a lot. The muscles on their arms bulge instantly when they exert themselves.
The second brother lowered his voice, turned around and said to the others, "Okay."
Hearing this, the four people jumped into the sewer one after another. A strong, pungent, and foul smell came over them and enveloped their bodies.
Several people covered their mouths and noses with their hands at almost the same time. It was simply because it smelled too bad in here.
Wang Bin was in front and took out a flashlight from his chest bag. He turned on the flashlight and illuminated the narrow sewer ahead.
They walked forward with their waists bent and dirty water flowing down their calves.
Various household garbage is floating on the water.
With every step they took, they could feel the coolness and stickiness brought by the sewage. Several people endured the disgust and continued to move forward, and no one complained.
Finally, after walking for more than an hour, under the leadership of Wang Bin, they arrived near where the base commander lived.
Wang Bin pushed the manhole cover open with all his strength to make a small gap, and looked out through the gap.
There were six patrolmen walking from a distance outside.
When he saw someone coming, he quickly lowered the manhole cover, squatted down immediately, and gestured to them to keep quiet.
The three of them understood and immediately fell silent, without making any sound.
When the footsteps outside faded away, the three of them quickly climbed out of the sewer one by one.
The three of them took advantage of the cover of night and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Tap tap tap.
The footsteps of patrolmen were heard again in the distance.
Hearing the sound, Wang Bin gestured and four figures quickly ran behind the other side of the wall and hid their bodies in the shadow of the wall.
Tap tap tap.
The footsteps gradually faded away.
Wang Bin poked his head out from the wall and after making sure the patrolmen had gone far away, several people started moving quickly in the dark again.
They soon arrived at a luxurious villa.
There were guards at the front and back of the villa, twelve in total.
Xiao Kaichong gave instructions to a few people with gestures.
The three of them nodded in unison, raised their silenced pistols, bent over and slowly approached the villa.
