Chapter 272 Allies

Second day of auction

Representatives from each base arrived at the auction on time, all of them in high spirits, trying their best to be the first to bid for the first batch of seeds.

Although according to yesterday's rules, their base will have the opportunity to photograph the new wheat seeds sooner or later, the sooner they photograph the seeds, the better it will be for their base.

The auction officially begins

Shu Xin sat in the front, observing the expressions of the representatives of the bases she favored, confirming that they were very confident and more confident about the bet made last night.

While the representatives from each base were discussing how much to fill in and no one was paying attention to the above, Shu Xin gave Yan Mo a determined look.

Yan Mo raised his eyebrows without comment.

I sighed in my heart: My wife is so cute when she is proud of herself. I miss the sun...

Shuxin was completely unaware of the danger and waited calmly for the auction results.

Because it was not a traditional bidding auction, the results came out very quickly.

As expected, four bases, namely City B, City C, City Q and Northwest Base, successfully emerged. The last successful base was City M, which Yan Mo chose, rather than City X, which Shu Xin had bet on.

The unexpected result surprised Shuxin a little. Her eyes widened and she didn't understand what went wrong.

Clearly, from what Butler 001 told her privately, City X was more well prepared, right?

The representatives of the X City Base were no less surprised than Shu Xin. They were very confident in their ability to provide the crystal cores and supplies, but they didn't expect a dark horse to emerge in the end.

The representatives of the X city base stared at the representatives of the M city base sitting opposite them with dark faces.

If looks could kill, the representatives of the M City base would have been tortured thousands of times already.

Too bad looks can't kill.

Being able to hold a high position in a large base, they are naturally very thick-skinned. The glares from the opposite sides cannot cause any harm to them, so they just ignore them.

Lost the bet!!!

Shuxin thought about the bet she agreed to last night. In the next week...

I suddenly felt a black screen in front of my eyes, and my waist started to ache slightly!

no!

She can't just sit there and wait for death! She has to find a way!

Yan Mo knew her too well. He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Xinbao, you don't want to regret it, do you?"

After being exposed, Shu Xin felt guilty. Of course, she couldn't admit that she wanted to go back on her word, so she could only say stubbornly, "Of course not!"

Yan Mo said faintly: "That's good~"

Shuxin tried hard to control her facial expression, but in fact her heart was already filled with tears.

Butler 001: "The auction results have been announced. If you have no questions, you can send someone to come with me to hand in the crystal cores and get the seeds."

The X City Base, which missed the first seed auction, couldn't sit still: "Base Director Yan, I wonder when the next seed auction will be held?"

Yan Mo: "The next auction will be held in three months. The number of places will be increased to ten, so the chances will be greater. The number of participating bases will also increase."

The other bases that were not photographed breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this; three months was plenty of time for them to make adequate preparations.

They already had this experience once and are confident that they will be able to capture the seeds next time!

Xiao Lou suddenly said, "I wonder if the base develops new crops in the future, will we need to bid again? Or will the subsequent new crops adopt a different method?"

As soon as Hsiao Lou asked the question, the noisy conference room suddenly became quiet.

The representatives of other bases are not fools either. If the Dawn Base can develop the first crop, it is possible to develop the second, third, fourth...

If every new seed in the future needs to participate in an auction for the first time, I am afraid they will not be able to afford it no matter how much foundation they have.

Yan Mo curled his lips and smiled: "If the Dawn Base develops new seeds in the future, the base that successfully bids for the seeds at the auction will only need to purchase them according to the price we offer."

Representatives from each base put their hearts back in their stomachs.

What a joke! Don’t they know what human nature is like?

They were taking this opportunity to establish long-term cooperative relations with various major bases, so they would naturally not do anything to offend anyone.

A large number of ants can kill an elephant.

Even if the Dawn Base has a power beyond the current technological level, it cannot withstand the combined attack of other bases. The most reliable solution is to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with other bases.

As for the possibility that other bases might develop the same seeds as the ones they sold and compete with them, they are not afraid at all.

If more people work together on research, humanity will have more hope of survival.

Besides, maybe they can attract some talented scientific researchers back with the seeds they sold this time.

The base currently has only one researcher, Bu Yuanzhou. No matter how smart he is, he alone cannot do the work of five people.

The base that received the seeds was worried that the night would be too long, so they took the seeds, said goodbye hurriedly and returned immediately. The base they were in had already sent people to pick them up.

Xiao Lou's team and the people from the two bases in City B were not in a hurry to leave.

They had only accomplished half of their purpose of coming to the Dawn Base this time; the other half was to examine the comprehensive strength of the Dawn Base and the character of the base leader to see if they could become long-term partners.

It is necessary to find reliable allies in the apocalypse.

As zombies continue to evolve, the number of high-level zombies increases, and the number of zombie tides increases accordingly.

In the past year, the number of small bases breached by the zombie tide has gradually increased, and even medium-sized bases have been breached by the zombie tide. Although no large bases have been breached by the zombie tide yet, if the current trend continues, that day will come sooner or later.

There is no regular pattern to the appearance of zombie tidal waves, and no one can guarantee that their base will not be attacked by a zombie tidal wave one day in the future.

If you have a strong ally who can lend a hand when your base is hit by a large or super-large zombie tide, then the base will have a greater chance of successfully resisting the zombie tide.

"We are already aware of what you have raised. I wonder if you can make decisions for your own base and achieve friendly cooperation between bases?" Yan Mo tapped the table lightly with his right index finger, his eyes deep.

Xiao Lou said confidently: "Yes!"

Jiang Mao, the representative of City B, nodded affirmatively: "Of course, this is a joint decision made by our superiors."

Xiao Lou and Ye Yu'an currently control most of the power in City C and are fully capable of representing City C. The representatives of City B received this order before they came.

"This is not a trivial matter. We need to go back and discuss it. We will give you an answer in this conference room at 10 a.m. tomorrow."
