Xia Lunong and Kong Zhi turned their heads together and looked at the sky.

The propellers of the helicopter were whirring, stirring up a mountain wind that blew their clothes and hair everywhere.

Some people, not knowing whether they were excited or afraid, showed semi-beastial features, revealing furry beast ears or beast tails.

Xia Lunong looked to the left and to the right, and couldn't help but grow furry cat ears on his body.

His beast form was already very large, and his ears turned into cat ears standing on his head and looked very large.

Kong Zhi reached out and touched them.

His ears were also thick, and felt fluffy and soft, and they felt very good.

Kong Zhi stared at his ears and touched his ears again.

Xia Lunong looked straight ahead with full concentration, and just moved his ears after being touched.

His soft and thick ears bounced in Kong Zhi's palm, which felt very good to the touch. Kong Zhi looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

The people on the helicopter got off quickly.

Xia Lunong looked ahead with full concentration and found that there were three strangers among the intruders, two women and one man. They were all middle-aged and seemed to be people with higher positions.

After they got off the plane, Zhang Shihai and Luo Congqin got off the plane.

Xia Lunong turned her head and asked a familiar person around, "Uncle, has anyone called my brothers?"

Someone in the group shouted, "They called them a long time ago. The sentry found something unusual and called them immediately."

Xia Lunong breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that her brothers knew.

While they were talking, the crowd became agitated again. Xia Lunong turned around and saw his two brothers striding towards them.

The crowd was like the parted sea, retreating to both sides to make a path for them.

Yan Xinian walked over and shook hands with the visitor, and the two sides exchanged a few words.

After the visitor showed his ID, Yan Xinian smiled even more enthusiastically, and together with Xia Huoqu, he led the visitor to their office in the plain.

Xia Lunong stood in the crowd, and when he saw his brother passing by, he waved to him.

Xia Lunong and his brother were in sync, and as soon as he saw his brother waving, he knew that he was calling him, and hurriedly pulled Kong Zhi to follow.

Xia Lunong listened halfway from the back before he realized that the Spark Base was here to discuss business this time.

Their base is far behind the Spark Base in terms of scale, talent, and technological level.

Last year, they were still a small, unknown base.

Zhang Shihai and his men were stranded here, and they wanted to rest in their base before heading north to the Spark Base.

Unexpectedly, the people from the Spark Base have come to them and begged them for cooperation.

This change is really huge.

The Spark Base is much better than them in all aspects, and they are willing to cooperate, which is what Yan Xinian wanted.

The two sides didn't even discuss the details, but they had already finalized the cooperation plan.

Xia Lunong was secretly shocked when she heard this.

Only when facing the Spark Base would the two brothers be so easy to talk to.

It is not easy to entertain guests on the plain at the foot of the mountain, so after a brief chat, Yan Xinian and Xia Lunong invited the visitors to go up the mountain.

Kong Zhi saw that they were going up the mountain and took the initiative to drive the car over.

Xia Lunong saw them talking, and she subconsciously went to the front row and listened quietly.

The older woman from the Spark Base was talking, and suddenly changed the subject to him, "Is this Xiao Nong?"

Xia Lunong quickly turned around and greeted, "Yes, my name is Xia Lunong."

"Hello, I heard about you from Leng Changkong, he has a very high opinion of you."

Xia Lunong was embarrassed, "Thank you."

The woman smiled, "We came here this time, actually to find you. Your ability is very magical, I wonder if you are interested in cooperating with us."

This time Xia Lunong answered without hesitation: "I will follow the arrangements of our base."

The woman looked at him with interest, "Even if our Spark Base can give you good treatment?"

Xia Lunong shook her head.

Yan Xinian smiled and replied immediately, "Don't embarrass him, this kid has been stubborn since he was young."

The woman was still looking at Xia Lunong.

Xia Lunong pointed at Xia Huoqu and then Kong Zhi, and said seriously. "My brother and Kong Zhi are here, my home is here, and I have no other pursuits in my life."

"You are so young, it's too old-fashioned to say that." The woman smiled, "Even if you take this place as your home, you can go out and take a look."

Xia Lunong said, "When our base develops better, I may go out and take a look."

The woman looked at him steadily for a while, did not embarrass him, and turned to talk to Yan Xinian.

Xia Lunong saw that no one mentioned herself, so after returning to the base, she took Kong Zhi and left first.

In spring, whether it is the crops in the fields or the livestock at home, there are many things to do, and they have no time.

On this day, Yan Xinian and Xia Huoqu were busy until very late before returning to eat.

The family of four sat at the table to eat.

Xia Lunong asked: "Brother, I saw those people wandering around in the fields this afternoon. Why did they come? Because of wheat?"

Xia Huoqu said: "Our wheat is very good. They came to inspect it. The main purpose is to discuss cooperation."

Xia Lunong was puzzled, "What cooperation? Haven't we already sent the seeds over?"

"That's just one of the seeds. We have more than just wheat." Xia Huo channeled, "Like peanuts, corn, and rice - these are important crops with high yields. Mutated plants with particularly high energy, such as roses and honeysuckle, have aroused the curiosity of senior management at the Spark Base."

Xia Lunong looked up, looked at his brother, then at his brother Xinian, and said seriously: "Peanuts, corn, and rice are fine. I have no objection to sharing them. But roses and honeysuckle are not the same. They are not only partners, but also friends. I will not bypass them and hand them over."

"Of course." Yan Xinian took over the conversation, "We are just discussing cooperation in the preliminary stage. The specific details will have to wait for us to continue discussing."

Xia Lunong nodded.

Kong Zhi asked: "Our seeds are so special. If we really want to cooperate with the Spark Base, what can they provide us?"

"We are also discussing this. The current preferred plan is for the Spark Base to provide us with infrastructure, including water, electricity, network, weapons...all of these require their help."

Kong Zhi: "Water and electricity are easy to talk about, are they willing to provide weapons?"

Yan Xinian said: "Aren't we discussing this right now? We will know whether the discussion can be successful or not as time goes by."

After hearing this, Xia Lunong suddenly asked: "In that case, don't we have to build a city?"

Yan Xinian nodded, "Yes, our base has grown so big, with technology inside and talents outside, and the Spark Base providing support. It is indeed time for us to build a city."

Xia Lunong was shocked, "Will we become the largest base in this area in the future?"

"I estimate so. Look at the scale of our plain buildings. Once all the buildings are built, even if we dare to claim to be second, no city will dare to claim to be first."

Xia Lunong couldn't help but feel excited when she heard him say that domineeringly, "We will definitely be the largest city in this area in the future!"

Yan Xinian picked up the soup bowl, "Come on, let's celebrate with soup instead of wine!"

Xia Lunong gulped down the whole bowl of soup in one breath, wiped his mouth, looked up and asked, "Then what is the name of our base?"

Yan Xinian said, "You choose it."

Xia Huoqu asked back, "What do you think it should be called?"

Kong Zhi also cast his eyes on him.

Xia Lunong felt inexplicably stressed under the gaze of three pairs of eyes. He stuttered, "Name, name?"

Xia Huoqu nodded and gave an affirmative answer, "Give our base a name."

Xia Lunong looked at this and that, "How about calling it Xinmiao? Xinmiao Base. The fire has been planted, and we are the new seedlings that have grown out. Sooner or later, we will grow into towering trees!"
