Chapter 259: Acquaintances (12)
After that, the man whispered to Lan Jin, "But I think you're not wrong. Professor Pei's research is of great benefit to the entire Blue Star, but for the base, saving everyone's lives is the greatest help."
Lan Jin agreed with her last point and immediately echoed, "Yes, nothing is more important than human life."
Before the end of the world, not to mention the entire blue planet, even our country had a huge population. But after the end of the world, how many people are left? If we don’t protect humans from these mutated creatures, it will be too late when everyone realizes that they should protect humans.
…
Now that the earthquake and aftershocks are over, the staff naturally returned to their jobs. They had just exchanged only Lan Jin's supplies. Now there are still three people, so they still have to exchange them all.
Although the earthquake destroyed the base beyond recognition, fortunately the contribution point system is independent, so it has no real impact on them for the time being.
However, the calmness of the four of them undoubtedly annoyed the professors who had watched the entire process. After a while, one of them looked at their backgrounds and said unkindly, "No, these people... the earthquake just ended. Can't they wait a little longer? It's just a few contribution points. Is there such a rush?"
The person next to her probably felt something was wrong after hearing this and immediately said, "Why are you meddling in other people's affairs? It's none of your business. To you, it's just a small contribution, but to others, it's just like their previous salary. They all rely on this to make a living. There's nothing wrong with changing it earlier."
Captain Zhang heard the argument between the two clearly, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with the reaction of Lan Jin and the other three. These contribution points had to be exchanged whether they waited or not. It was not impossible to exchange them, so why wait?
Moreover, they were not the only ones who exchanged contribution points like this. Even other special ability teams exchanged contribution points as the first thing they did when they returned to the base. No matter how many difficulties lay ahead, as long as they were solved, everyone's first goal was to exchange contribution points. So he really thought that there was nothing wrong with the actions of these four people.
He immediately said, "Professors, shouldn't you go to the 'top floor' and see if the information can be saved?" instead of standing in the hall watching others redeem contribution points.
In this team, Professor Pei is a professor, and his students are also professors with some achievements in various fields, so there is nothing wrong with Brother Zhang calling them professors.
But his tone clearly seemed to be driving them away, which made these professors feel a little unhappy.
However, before they could speak, Professor Pei, who had been at the front, suddenly walked towards Lan Jin and the other three, and almost gave the four of them an intimate hug as they turned around and were about to leave after exchanging their contribution points.
The four of them were quite strong, and the other party was a white-haired old man. If they really bumped into him, he might be seriously injured. Therefore, at that moment, they were really frightened. After taking two steps back, Lao Gao said, "You..., is there something wrong?"
Professor Pei ignored Lao Gao. After staring at Huang Jinghe for a while, he said, "Boy, what's your name?"
Huang Jinghe mumbled, "Huang Jinghe, my name is Huang Jinghe."
Professor Pei was overjoyed, "You are Ye Shi's son, right?"
Huang Jinghe was stunned. Ye Shi, Huang Ye Shi was exactly his father's name. Then he thought about what the staff had just said, that this professor came from Beijing City, so he was afraid that this Beijing City should be the Beijing City base.
Huang Jinghe immediately asked, "Do you know my dad?"
"Your dad, that's right. I'm not mistaken. I've seen your photo. When I first came to the H City base, it was your parents who sent me here. But the situation was urgent at the time. They originally planned to go to J City to see you, but they were recalled for some reason." Professor Pei continued, "I didn't expect that I would see you first. But why are you at the H City base?"
After seeing his acquaintance, Professor Pei completely abandoned the idea of going to the 'top floor' to look for information. After all, even with his dim eyesight, he could already predict that there was no way such a huge gap in information could still be found. Going up to look would only bring him heartache, so he didn't even bother looking. He turned around and said to the team behind him, "You guys go up there and look for everything you can. I'll be back later."
After saying that, Professor Pei wanted to take Huang Jinghe to talk alone, but when he turned around and saw the three people beside him, he asked, "You..."
Huang Jinghe quickly introduced them: "We used to be neighbors and friends, and now we're teammates. This is Lan Jin, Ling Jiang, and Lao Gao."
After a brief introduction, we exchanged greetings.
After saying hello, Professor Pei obviously didn't want to pay attention to the three of them. But then he suddenly thought of something. He originally wanted to take Huang Jinghe away alone, but he immediately turned back and called the three of them over, "Come with me to the cafeteria on the third floor."
After saying that, the four of them followed Professor Pei upstairs.
After the conversation, they realized that when Huang's father sent their team here, he had mentioned to him about the neighbor who took care of Huang Jinghe, so when Lan Jin was mentioned, the true appearance of Sister Lan was revealed.
Professor Pei snorted, "Your father kept mentioning Sister Lan all the way. I thought she was an old lady, but I didn't expect her to be so young."
Lan Jin was just about to sit down, but when she heard this, she almost sat down on the ground. However, nowadays, it is really impossible to estimate the age of a girl by calling her "sister". People in their teens can be called "sister", people in their thirties can be called "sister", and people in their fifties can also be called "sister". It is normal that Professor Pei cannot estimate Lan Jin's age.
But one thing is for sure, Mr. and Mrs. Huang probably don’t know her age either.
But this is really wrong. Even if she didn't know it before, when she was shopping with Huang Jinghe, the staff in the back would have passed the news back, so her age must have been known.
But when it comes to this, Professor Pei is a little strange again, "I heard that you have a child?"
At the mention of the child, she suddenly became nervous and quickly explained, "Because we will be leaving soon, we didn't bring the child to the base. He is staying outside the base with Grandma Ling."
Professor Pei became angry at the mention of being outside the base. "Nonsense! Hurry up and get everyone inside. It's going to be extremely hot soon. Once the ice melts, it will be difficult for you to get out even if you want to. It's so dangerous to stay outside."
