Noon of the following month. Xiao Kui and Ke Ling both got up after sleeping. The two simply washed up and had breakfast, then opened the door and walked out.
Meng An was already ready and waiting in the corridor. He got up extra early tomorrow and rummaged through the cabinets to choose a piece of clothing that was the most decent for him. After finishing early, washing up, having breakfast, and other monthly routines, he stood at the end of the corridor waiting for Xiao Kui and Ke Ling.
"Master Xiao and Master Ke, please be prepared. If Meng An can help you, please send Meng An at any time."
Xiao Kui said calmly: "Well, lead the way to Captain Zhou."
"no."
After a night of heavy rain, the sky was exceptionally bright and clear the following month. The sun seems to be much brighter than usual, and even the shape of the red clouds makes people feel cruel.
Meng An led the way, while Xiao Kui and Ke Ling followed. The distance outside the high-end residential area is not far, only a few words away.
"Master Xiao, would Meng Anke dare to ask you a question?"
"Um."
"Are you and Mr. Ke from the base near the safe zone?" Meng An asked.
Xiao Kui said without hesitation: "No, what's wrong?"
Noah's City is no longer a base ruled by the Supreme Court. It has no so-called number, but it is indeed a base in itself.
After getting the affirmative answer, Meng An's words became more hopeful: "Then... is it the G011 base?"
The answer is naturally no, so Xiao Kui changed to Zhituo method.
"I long for the G011 base?"
Meng An was struck by the words, and he scratched his head in embarrassment: "I was discovered by the adults. But he didn't like that safe zone, because there used to be a mercenary group belonging to the base in that safe zone. However, when he was young, he was particularly envious when he saw those amazing people."
"Of course, those mercenaries are incomparable to Master Xiao and Master Ke." Meng An added, which was considered a superficial flattery.
Xiao Kui didn't answer. After a few seconds of silence, Meng An felt a little guilty. He was worried that he had said something wrong and was rude to the two adults.
Very well, Xiao Kui finally answered: "If I inject enough genetic enhancement potions and have enough strength to join the mercenary group, then I can naturally leave there. For example, our Captain Zhou, he is in level three danger Strengthen your senses."
Meng An was dumbfounded, shocked by Xiao Kuina's ability as if he knew everything about them.
But that's nothing to Xiao Kui. Humans are not animals. Even if Zhou Qing's movements didn't reveal any information, he could see through Zhou Qing's ability at a glance - using the revelation of the wilderness gods. .
"Sir, it's so amazing..."
"So people like our Captain Zhou are qualified to go to the base to join the mercenary group and leave that safe zone. But, that may not be the best choice for his life."
Xiao Kui secretly mentioned two things to Meng An, asking Meng An not to be stupid, so that he could understand that there are different correct reasons behind different life choices.
Whether you can protect everyone in the safe zone, or in other words, whether you can live longer. That applies not only to Zhou Qing, but also to Meng An.
The journey was short, and soon Meng An arrived at Zhou Qing's house. He knocked on the door and called: "Boss Zhou, Master Xiao and Master Ke are here."
Zhou Qing rushed over quickly and opened the door. When he saw Xiao Kui and Ke Ling, he immediately showed respect and invited them into the house.
Xiao Kui and Ke Ling walked to the sofa, and Meng An went to boil three cups of hot tea and handed them to the three people around the coffee table.
Zhou Qing rubbed the palms of his legs and said with a smile: "Two adults, did you have a good rest last night?"
"Well, I came here unexpectedly at night. I'm sorry for Captain Zhou's reception." Xiao Kui said politely.
After hearing this, Zhou Qing even pretended that he couldn't bear it, and felt a little relieved in his heart.
"Those two third-level pioneers actually regard their wilderness people as 'human beings'..."
After that thought passed away in a flash, Zhou Qing just asked to speak, but Xiao Kui first took out the dark red blood potion that was as long as Ye Li's palm.
"Food, water, and electricity are all precious resources in our safe zone, so the serum of the first and second mutated animals in the wilderness can be used as a thank you gift from Captain Zhou for entertaining them."
Xiao Kui knew that there was nothing in the wilderness that could be called hard currency, except for resources such as water, food, firearms, bullets, and gasoline; they could not carry things that were too heavy and bulky to carry around. A good choice would be animal serum that contains mutated isovirus.
I want to know that in addition to mission bounties, most of the mercenary group's income comes from the isovirus serum from hunting monsters.
Zhou Qing was shocked by Xiao Kui's generosity. He was so surprised that he even stuttered: "That, that's too precious, Zhou deserves it."
"Just treat them as payment for staying a few more days." Xiao Kui smiled.
The second-level virus serum can last for half a year, not to mention a few days!
But Zhou Qing did not shirk anymore. He thought that no matter how precious the second-level virus serum was, it was nothing to a third-level pioneer. Besides, the two adults definitely did not want to waste time on such things.
"In that case, it would be better for Zhou to be respectful and obey the order and accept the gift."
After a few more pleasantries, Xiao Kui asked Zhou Qing a few questions, one of which related to the source of income of the safe zone.
Originally, that kind of financial path was a secret that could not be disclosed to outsiders, but if the strength gap between the two parties was too large, the other party would not be able to hide it if they wanted to know.
So Zhou Qing answered truthfully: "They discovered an ore vein at the foot of a mountain range and asked the residents of the safe zone to mine it. They collected the ore they dug in exchange for food every day."
The valuable ore must have been taken by Zhou Qing to a nearby base and exchanged for money to purchase supplies. Xiao Kui asked casually: "What is the scientific name of that kind of ore?"
"Glowstone. It is an ore that emits a reddish-yellow light and is said to be very suitable for making special fuel," Zhou Qing said with a joke, "No matter what, it cannot replace gasoline to drive a car."
Xiao Kui and Ke Ling were immediately moved after hearing this, but they were both well-educated and did not show any flaws. Naturally, Zhou Qing and Meng An did not notice anything unusual about them.
Galestone is not an insignificant ore. Among the tasks assigned by the Survey Corps Headquarters, there is a permanent task - to investigate the information of pyrolite or phosphorite. In order for Noah City's life gate "city engine" to move, those two kinds of ores that can be used as fuel are indispensable, and the more the better.
Now Noah City is stationed more than 500 kilometers northeast of that safe zone. The Third Court of the Supreme Court has taken Wu Qi as a hostage and has the idea of trading information about the occupied area. Noah City will not be touched for the time being.
"Noah City will not be relocated for the time being..."
Xiao Kui's mind was spinning, and then he maintained a smile and said calmly, "Captain Zhou, he wants to discuss a business deal with me."
