Chapter 123 Visiting Qi Ling
Operations Department Building.
When Yun Zhao entered the conference room, everyone else was there, including Minister Duan.
Xie Tu stood tall by the window, talking with Minister Duan, occasionally nodding in response.
He wore a black short-sleeved shirt today, revealing the firm muscles on his forearms, which fit his body perfectly.
A hint of coldness emanated from his deep eyes, and beneath his high, straight nose, his lips were slightly pursed, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.
Hearing the noise, Xie Tu turned his head and his gaze immediately fell on her.
Their eyes met.
Yun Zhao waved to him, walked over to greet his teammates, and sat in the same spot as before.
The conversation over there ended quickly.
Xie Tu walked over and sat down opposite her.
With everyone present, the meeting began.
The content of the meetings was largely the same.
Song Liang submitted the mission report yesterday. Minister Duan has already reviewed it, mainly summarizing the mission operation process and calculating the mission rewards.
As expected.
The rewards for this mission are not as good as those for Contaminated Zone 88.
Including the 10,000 yuan reward for killing the gatekeeper, the total is over 18,000 yuan.
But this is also a huge sum of money.
At the end of the meeting, Minister Duan said, "Currently, no priority red contaminated zones have appeared. For Team Zero's next mission, we will choose from the remaining six orange-level four-star contaminated zones."
Tao Haohao shouted, "Let Yun Zhao choose; the guide's luck will definitely be better than ours."
Others echoed this.
"Yun Zhao, remember to choose something simple!" Duan Xi said to her.
Yun Zhao was silent for a moment: "Luck? Easy?"
They've already been rated four stars, so how could there be an easy one?
Xie Tu's gaze swept over the two who were making a fuss, his cold eyes carrying a warning.
Tao Haohao and Duan Xi immediately shut up.
Xie Tu then spoke up: "Let's take the data from the contaminated areas back to the training ground, study it, and then decide."
Matters of life and death cannot be taken lightly.
As the team leader, he is responsible for everyone.
After the meeting.
Minister Duan seemed very busy. He gave Yun Zhao a few instructions about his training and then hurriedly left the meeting room.
The teammates put their arms around each other's shoulders and huddled together, whispering amongst themselves.
"The frequency of missions seems to have increased this year. I haven't even started to spend the points I earned in the first two contaminated areas, and the minister is already reminding me about the next mission," Song Liang said thoughtfully.
Duan Xi didn't care. "Then let's spend a little more these few days. Winter is coming soon, so let's go buy a couple of new clothes later."
Tao Haohao: "What are we having for dinner tonight?"
"You haven't even had lunch, and you're already thinking about dinner?" The rabbit couldn't help but roll its eyes at him.
Tao Haohao scratched his head. "Otherwise what?"
The Fumo team lives in the inner city. Because they have a meeting in the morning, they had already agreed yesterday to conduct traffic control in the afternoon.
There's nothing to do right now.
After discussing it, everyone decided to go see Qi Ling and settle the matter of the warehouse.
Xie Tu said, "I already asked yesterday, and the next batch of supplies will probably arrive the day after tomorrow. The logistics department quoted 500 points per month for the storage warehouse in the inner city, which is an acceptable price."
There is a very large warehouse area in the inner city, which is managed by the logistics department.
The base's food production, weapons, and other military supplies are all stored in that area.
Security is extremely tight.
The logistics department's warehouses are generally not rented out, but Xie Tu went to them personally, and Minister Shao gave him face and rented a warehouse to them.
"It's not just snacks; most of the supplies that come back later are unusable for us. It's a waste to keep them in the warehouse. We'll sort out the unused supplies and hand them over to the base."
Before the apocalypse, supermarkets sold almost everything.
They didn't take any items they didn't need; they took mostly supplies related to people's livelihoods.
Practical supplies such as milk powder, diapers, daily necessities, and small household appliances are available, but Team Zero doesn't need most of them.
No one had any objection to this outcome.
The group chatted as they went downstairs, got into a car, and headed to the Institute of Biological Sciences to visit Qi Ling.
Apart from Yun Zhao, everyone else has been there in the past few days.
Duan Xi sat opposite Yun Zhao and whispered to her, "Qi Ling said he felt like he was in prison. He doesn't even realize that with his appearance, he would definitely be shot by the sentries once he left the research institute."
The rabbit chimed in, "Sister Yun Zhao, guess what Qi Ling is eating right now?"
Yun Zhao was taken aback and guessed, "Meat?"
The mutant species has a hunger pangs and feeds on living humans.
Although he was conscious, he was also a mutant.
"Yes! The research institute gave him meat, but he actually asked that it be cooked, saying that he doesn't eat raw meat."
The rabbit exclaimed, "I heard from Dean Fu that he eats five pounds of meat in one meal!"
"Given his condition, that researcher Qi probably can't afford to support him."
Duan Xi couldn't help but say, "Think about it, a pound of meat costs 60 points. He eats five pounds of meat in one meal, three meals a day. Who can afford to feed him?"
Even if I buy the cheapest meat, I only eat it twice a day.
Daily expenses can amount to several hundred points, totaling nearly ten thousand points per month.
Tao Haohao chimed in, "Last night we brought him a metal bed, and he actually wanted a cup, saying he wanted to fill it with water to drink."
Yun Zhao said quietly, "What can we do? He has extremely high research value, and the research institute will definitely support him."
Researcher Qi is already on his way.
The four bases are all quite far apart.
Fu Heng and his group came directly from the contaminated area, so they were faster.
It takes about ten days to travel from Hope Base.
I wonder how Qi Ling will feel when he sees his sister's descendants.
Xie Tu was driving and heard them chatting, but he didn't say anything.
A few minutes later, the car stopped in front of the Institute of Biological Sciences.
The group got out of the car and went inside.
After verifying their identities, the group arrived at the laboratory where Qi Ling lived, seemingly familiar with the place.
A sealed room with metal walls on all four sides.
A television set has appeared on the opposite wall at some point.
Through the observation window on the door.
They saw Qi Ling leisurely lying on the metal bed watching TV.
Qi Ling was so engrossed in watching that she didn't notice their arrival at all.
Yun Zhao was speechless: "He seems quite at ease."
As long as you can adapt, it's fine.
Hearing the voices, Qi Ling turned around and immediately jumped out of bed upon seeing the group of people.
"Sir! You've come to see me again!"
Qi Ling ran to the door. He had already learned that his sister's descendants had arrived, and he greeted the group of people in high spirits.
He changed into a black outfit, made of the same material as their combat uniforms, which was resistant to the corrosive slime.
"The people here are all very nice. They sometimes chat with me, and they deliver meals on time every mealtime. Apart from the lack of freedom, everything else is great..."
Without anyone even asking, he confessed truthfully, "I had two more vials of blood drawn this morning. The blood was black. I cooperated fully throughout the process."
Yun Zhao used a barrier to seal the dark substance on his body, and the black viscous liquid stopped leaking out.
He also conducted a few small experiments, and the corrosiveness was not as strong as before.
Seeing that he could adapt, Yun Zhao felt much more at ease.
When his sister's descendants arrive, he will take her away, thus fulfilling his obsession.
The rest was none of their business.
