Chapter 145 The mission issued by Tang Jingshan
This happened rather unexpectedly. He had been following Li Derun's research, but the final material ratio was always wrong, and this problem had been stuck for two months.
Originally, we planned to leave the N City base once the temperature rose a little, but no one expected that we would suddenly succeed today.
The team and research projects recruited by Li Derun do not belong to the N City base. The research institute is responsible for both equipment and security. Their relationship with the N City base is simply a lease agreement for the site.
Tang Jingshan would not place a researcher of Li Derun's caliber at another base, and the research equipment at the N City base was insufficient to support Professor Li Derun's subsequent research.
As for the left and right teams, Tang Jingshan learned a lot from Tang Haoran: a fifth-tier weapon master, a dog that can purify and heal, and two unfathomable experts. If they could come together this time, it would be a great help to him.
Lin Ling sensed something was wrong from those words, so she pressed Zuo You's hand, signaling her not to say anything. After thinking for a moment, Lin Ling whispered a few words in her ear.
Upon hearing this, Zuo You raised an eyebrow, picked up the communicator, and asked, "Commander, I have a few questions that I need you to answer before I can decide whether or not I can accept this mission."
"Okay, Captain Zuo, please ask."
"The N City base is under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Base, so why won't they release the people? Is the situation the same in other areas? Will the conditions you promised cause me trouble in the future?" Zuo You's questions seemed silly, but she was actually asking about the current base structure in the Dragon Kingdom and the current power structure of the Eastern Base.
Lin Ling just told her, "The Eastern Base is currently very likely dominated by Tang Jingshan."
Zuo You didn't know how Lin Ling figured it out; she was quite clever. But since the little cutie had a question, she decided to verify it.
There was silence in the earpiece. Zuo You's question had touched on the political level of the Chinese leadership, and Tang Jingshan was unsure whether to answer it directly.
Tang Haoran became anxious upon seeing this; things at the research institute couldn't be delayed much longer.
“Base Commander, the fact that Captain Zuo can speak directly with you is enough to prove her ability. She will find out about these things sooner or later. I don’t think anything is more important than Professor Li Derun.”
Tang Jingshan, enlightened by Tang Haoran, immediately stopped hesitating and said in a deep voice, "The Western Base has already declared independence. The Eastern Base previously had some internal conflicts, but now everyone is united. Once Professor Li returns and completes the clinical trials, the Eastern Base will announce the successful development of the gene drug at the same time as declaring independence."
Lin Ling guessed right! Zuo You gave her a thumbs up in disbelief. Without much thought, she accepted the task; Tang Jingshan had really given her too much.
In the previous life, each of the five major bases had a population of over 3000 million. What does the villa in Area A represent? It's equivalent to the second ring road of the pre-apocalyptic ZZ center.
Tang Haoran, fearing that Zuo You might not understand, explained in a gossipy manner: "As the political center of the Dragon Kingdom, the northern region wants to get involved as long as it can contact the major bases, even if it's too far away."
Those in high positions all want to place the top position of the base in their own people, which leads to dissatisfaction among the powerful figures or strongmen in the base, thus triggering internal struggles. This is why the western and eastern bases declared independence.
These matters are not secrets among the major official bases. The independence of the Eastern Base is a foregone conclusion. Whether the N City Base is preparing for future independence or has other ideas, it will not allow me to take Li Derun away.
So I need your help.
This apocalyptic world, besides being plagued by natural disasters, zombies, and mutated beasts, is also an era of great conflict.
Tang Haoran's words did not pique Zuo You's interest. Time was of the essence, so the three of them and the dog, fully armed, threw all their belongings into their spatial storage and followed Tang Haoran into a car.
On the way, Lin Ling asked Zuo You, "Should we call He Heze and the others to say goodbye?"
Zuo You shook her head. They were just a group of passersby anyway, and once they were gone, they were gone. She knew that deep down, she was indifferent.
"Where are the others?" Zuo You asked curiously, noticing the car was heading towards the city gate.
Tang Haoran: "Previously, just in case, all the families of the research institute and researchers were accommodated in the hot spring hotel. This time, it saved a lot of trouble, as everyone went to the city gate ahead of time."
Zuo You nodded, then suddenly added, "If we get blocked from leaving, let Yingying handle it."
When the group arrived at the city wall, the city gate was already closed, and Jian Hong was in a standoff with the officials.
Hundreds of superhumans stood guard at the city gate, bows and arrows in hand, poised to attack Jian Hong and his group's five vehicles.
"Deputy Captain Jian, it's freezing cold, are you really going out like this? You know our bows and arrows are crafted by a fifth-tier master craftsman, even if your car has bulletproof glass, it's useless! You should go back and rest to avoid any casualties," Major Wu of the guard team shouted.
"Major Wu, we're old acquaintances. I really don't want to fight you, but I have to leave today! I'm asking you one last time, will you let me go or not?" Jian Hong smiled innocently, but his tone was extremely domineering.
Major Wu was also apprehensive. He couldn't beat Jian Hong, but the orders from above were: stop the researchers and ensure their safety, and if possible, eliminate the Azure Dragon Team.
He narrowed his eyes and ordered the arrows to be fired at the wheels. At the same time, Major Wu was teleported close by Jian Hong, who held a supernatural weapon to his neck, while the arrows were blocked by an ice wall that appeared out of nowhere.
Upon seeing this, Major Wu was so shocked that he forgot he had a knife to his neck. "Captain Zuo is going with you too?"
Jian Hong: "Yes, hurry up and have someone open the door and let us go. You can stop us, but can you stop Zuo You?"
"Brother, I have no choice. It's an order from above. What am I supposed to do? You guys can just pack up and leave, but I still have to live here." Major Wu said with a bitter face. To be honest, he was in a difficult position.
Zuo You is here, who can stop him? Dare to stop him? He wouldn't dare! He's not that stubborn.
If we don't stop him, he'll be in trouble too.
"Then don't be troubled, I'll help you!" Jian Hong smiled understandingly and decisively gave Major Wu three cuts and six holes. Major Wu immediately fell to the ground and howled in pain.
Just then, a deep voice rang out from the city wall, "Captain Zuo, let's have a talk."
Zuo You was dressing her dog in her own tiger-skin cape when she heard a noise outside. She looked up and saw Wu Zhibang. She smiled wryly.
Before getting out of the car, she asked An Yingying to get out with her, and then she spoke politely to Wu Zhibang on the city wall.
"Base Commander, could you please open the door and let us leave? I've received a lot of help from you at the N City base, and I really don't want to hurt anyone."
