"After the disaster, we also sent planes to various cities to check the situation, but unfortunately, all our people brought back were news that everyone had sacrificed their lives."
This has weighed heavily on our hearts, and we are very grateful to you for bringing us updates from the outside world.
Since you're already here, why not rest a bit longer before heading back? Although it's extremely cold here, we have plenty of supplies.
I've already asked the cafeteria to prepare food; let's eat something first.
The bearded man warmly invited the two of them to stay.
Jian Ning and Xiao Lingfeng exchanged a glance, smiled, and agreed. They then followed the bearded man to the restaurant.
The underground area here clearly appears to have been a research institute or similar facility in the past, filled with high-tech equipment and powered by electricity. All the instruments and equipment were operational, including the elevators. Furthermore, the level of secrecy was extremely high.
The restaurant is large enough to accommodate 500 people at the same time. It is decorated in a very simple and clean manner.
Soon after we sat down, staff brought us our food: borscht, pickled fish, braised beef, black caviar, and cold appetizers of pickled cucumbers and aspic. The main dish was black bread.
Of course, there's also plenty of vodka, but there are no vegetables. Well, in the current situation, it's already quite good to have so much food to eat.
Although Jian Ning couldn't drink alcohol, she didn't refuse to try some. She didn't dare to drink too much, and just watched Xiao Lingfeng and the bearded man talk and drink. She was practically invisible and could just focus on eating.
To be honest, Russian food has a unique flavor, and she quite liked it.
"Brother Xiao, those monsters you mentioned are so difficult for ordinary people to kill with guns, so how did you manage to eliminate them?" The bearded man was very interested in this.
"The main reason we were able to kill these monsters is because we now have gene warriors and superpowers," Xiao Lingfeng said, flicking his finger and a flame appeared from his long, slender fingertip. This startled the bearded man.
He exclaimed in surprise, "My God, is this magic?"
After saying that, he even wanted to reach out and touch it.
Xiao Lingfeng stopped him: "This is real flame. You'll get hurt if you touch it with your hands."
It's not just fire-based abilities; there are ice, wood, water, and all sorts of other abilities. These ability users are the core force capable of killing monsters.
Upon hearing Xiao Lingfeng's words, the bearded man's eyes gleamed with fervor.
If they could obtain this gene serum and have such powerful gene warriors,
Even if only tens of thousands of people remain, they are very likely to rebuild Russia, since what they lack now is only population and the power to combat natural disasters.
"Brother Xiao, you guys keep eating, I'm going out for a bit." With that, he hurriedly left the cafeteria, running all the way.
"Where did he go?" Jian Ning hadn't been paying much attention to their conversation, but when she looked up, she saw the bearded man running away, which made her a little curious.
"He must have gone to discuss it with his superiors, Xiao Ning. For the sake of preventing the extinction of humanity on Earth..."
I'm thinking of trading genetic agents for supplies with them, which would also preserve some of their strength. That's why I deliberately leaked this information. Do you think my idea is right?
"I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Gene therapy can indeed stimulate the human body's potential, not only in the fight against natural disasters, but also in the ability to survive in such harsh environments more effectively than ordinary people."
Too many people have died in this country already; helping them is helping ourselves. Giving roses leaves a lingering fragrance. That's good.
After Jian Ning finished speaking, she took another bite of black caviar, which she really liked.
With her support, Xiao Lingfeng felt more confident and began to eat heartily. His stomach was burning from all the drinking earlier. Russian liquor was too strong for him; he wasn't used to it.
After quite a while, the bearded man finally ran back.
"Brother Xiao, I'm sorry, I just went out to report to the commander, and he wants to see you now. If you've finished eating, can we go over there?"
"Okay." Xiao Lingfeng swallowed the bread in his mouth. He readily agreed.
"I won't go. I'll wait for you here." Jian Ning wasn't interested in any of this. How they traded between themselves was none of her business, and besides, she wanted to eat more.
"Okay, I'll be right back." Xiao Lingfeng stood up and followed the bearded man outside.
A while later, a Russian female soldier came over, speaking broken Chinese. After she finished eating, I led her to a private rest room, which had a bed and a table, and was quite nicely furnished.
Jian Ning didn't stand on ceremony and went straight upstairs to lie down and take a nap. These days she had been flying around or constantly collecting supplies, and she was quite mentally exhausted. She hadn't been to bed for more than half a month.
Even those who cultivate immortality sometimes want to lie down in bed for a while; it's a psychological comfort and can relieve mental fatigue.
When she woke up and opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Lingfeng sitting in front of the bed, looking down at her affectionately.
"What time is it? How did the talks go?"
"Everything is settled. I will provide three thousand doses of gene therapy, and they will give me an aircraft carrier and twenty nuclear submarines in return."
"So generous?" Jian Ning was shocked.
"Gene therapy is a life-saving agent for them. No one can guarantee that their animals won't mutate; it's just a matter of time."
The commander was well aware that they actually benefited from this deal. After all, even if I were given an aircraft carrier, I'd still need to be able to transport it back, given the numerous monsters lurking in the ocean.
"It's just an aircraft carrier. I can bring back ten of them. It's no big deal. When do you think you can send them over?"
"It can't be soon, can it? Xiao Lingfeng! I already told my brother the wedding would be within ten days, it's already so late, he must be getting anxious!"
Jian Ning said she had forgotten something; she had been so busy with other things that she had forgotten about the wedding.
"Xiao Ning, I'm sorry. Let's go back home first, talk to them, and then send over the medicine. We can hold the wedding later, okay?" Xiao Lingfeng looked at Jian Ning with eyes full of apology.
"No need to apologize. I know you're doing this for the greater good of the country, and I won't stop you. I just remembered that my brother must be worried. I'll just go back and tell him. It's not that important."
Jian Ning also felt that he had exaggerated a bit. Why not get married someday? Anyway, Xiao Lingfeng agreed, so he couldn't run away.
“Let’s go back now. There’s nothing good to stay here.” After saying that, Jian Ning sat up from the bed, glanced at Xiao Lingfeng, and then stopped.
"Forget it, come and get some sleep. We can leave tomorrow. A day or two won't make a difference." After all, he had been piloting the plane the whole way, which must have been exhausting.
"It's alright, I can still hold on, let's go now."
Xiao Lingfeng understood that family was also very important to Jian Ning. Especially her brother, who was quite honest and straightforward. He said he would be back in ten days, but there had been no news since. How worried he must be!
