Chapter 122: 127|Countdown 44-43 hours

Views:

As soon as Qiu Feng and the other two arrived, all the other people left, and the guards brought by Qiu Feng stood guard at the door of the activity room.

The activity room located on the first floor is large and versatile. It doubles as a conference room and is also the favorite gathering place for members of the scavenging team.

Qiu Feng didn't say much nonsense and directly told the notice from the capital.

Including Lei Bing, this was the first time for everyone else to hear this, but no one present was surprised. It would be fine if Xiao Mo's ability was not exposed. Once exposed, how could it not be coveted

The members of the scavenging team thought more. Others thought that Xiao Mo's ability was in healing, but in fact Xiao Mo could not only heal people, he could also "heal" other non-human objects.

If the people in the capital were to know Xiao Mo's true abilities, they might not even be able to give him two days of spare time, and they might kill and rob him that day.

"Do you want to go to the capital?" Qiu Feng asked Xiao Mo seriously.

Xiao Mo shook his head slowly, "I am very happy here. My roots, my friends, and my home are all here. If there is need in the capital, I can help, but if I stay in the capital, then That’s it.”

Qiu Feng also expected that Xiao Mo would say this, "You have a good idea, but things can't develop as you want. To be honest, I don't want you to go to the capital, both in public and private matters. You stay in Zhongshan." The mountain base is equivalent to adding a lot of lives to the people in our base, and no one is willing to let a super big daddy like you leave."

Everyone laughed together.

Xiao Mo felt helpless at being called this nickname by the soldiers.

"But!" Qiu Feng took out a cigarette and lit it, "Same as public and private, I have to agree to your going to the capital. I won't explain the reason, but I believe you all understand it."

You understand it, but whether you can accept it is another matter.

"If my boss doesn't want to go to the capital, no one can force him." Xue Lihong said with an indifferent expression.

Qiu Feng sighed in his heart. He knew that it was easy for others to talk about Xiao Mo's going to the capital, but Xue Lihong was the most difficult obstacle. Even if Xiao Mo himself was not opposed to going to the capital, if Xue Lihong said that he didn't want Xiao Mo to go, then Xiao Mo would immediately change his mind.

Xiao Mo held Xue Lihong's hand and said, "General Qiu, you just said that the capital city is so eager for me to come because the Academy of Sciences and the House of Lords made a joint decision and put pressure on the president to sign a special summons. Is it this way?"

"yes."

"Then who is the person who exaggerated my ability and spread it to the capital?" Xiao Mo asked, actually he already had the answer in his heart.

Qiu Feng replied: "Bao Yiyong."

Xue Lihong looked into Qiu Feng's eyes and suddenly asked, "Do you have any thoughts about this person?"

Qiu Feng felt that the young man was too sharp, but since he was here, he didn't want to hide it. If possible, he also hoped that the scavenging team could provide some cooperation. After all, the bodyguards Bao Yiyong brought with him were not weak in power and level.

"Bao Yiyong is known as a person who can be inhumane for the sake of human progress. He is the kind of righteous person who is accustomed to sacrificing a small part to achieve a large part. He is obviously determined to win over Captain Xiao. Captain Xiao cannot stay in the capital with him." Peace of mind." Qiu Feng didn't say it directly, but everyone present understood the meaning of what he said.

Xiao Mo was shocked to hear that Qiu Feng actually wanted to attack Bao Yiyong? But no matter how flawless this thing is, if Bao Yiyong is allowed to die at the Zhongshan base, then Qiu Feng will not be able to escape the charge of negligence in any case, and may even offend Bao Yiyong's supporters, and This became the reason for Qiu Feng's political opponents to criticize him.

Xiao Mo was very grateful for Qiu Feng's care, but it was fine if he didn't know about this matter. He knew how he could let Qiu Feng take such a big risk for him.

Just as Xiao Mo was about to speak, his hand was suppressed by Xue Lihong.

"I'll handle Bao Yiyong's side. He's not worthy of dying in our Zhongshan City."

Everyone present looked at Xue Lihong.

Qiu Feng pressed down the cigarette butt, "You underestimate Bao Yiyong's status in the capital. He is now regarded as one of the top scientific researchers that mankind hopes for. It is said that he was the one who established the method of converting alloy particles into energy. The theoretical system and the space power detector under research also have his contribution. He has harmed many people, but he has indeed done a lot of things. This is why the upper management can tolerate him. At Zhongshan Base, we also have You may be able to deal with him completely, but when he returns to the capital, it will be difficult for you to get close to him."

"Oh?" Xue Lihong lowered his eyelids, and his long eyelashes formed two rows of fan-shaped shadows. He did not emphasize his abilities to Qiu Feng because there was no need. Just as Qiu Feng thought he took Bao Yiyong too lightly, Qiu Feng also didn't understand his true abilities.

The young man raised his eyelids again and asked the man next to him: "Boss, are you going to the capital?"

Xiao Mo hesitated to answer this time. He didn't want to affect other members of the scavenging team because of his personal affairs, let alone cause trouble to Zhongshan Base.

Xue Lihong could tell what he was thinking at a glance, and sneered coldly, "Don't be stupid. You are the captain of the scavenging team. Ask other people if the scavenging team still has the meaning of existence without you. Don't think that You are causing trouble to others and the base. How many people have been saved by your ability? Since the team and the base enjoy your ability, they must provide you with protection. This is the same as the people paying taxes and being loyal to the country, and the country must protect its own. It's the same as the people. If we just use it when we need it and push you out when danger comes, then why do you need to stay in such a place?"

Xiao Mo was embarrassed. His Xiaohong was good at everything, but she just didn't speak. When she spoke, she was very sharp. She would not save any face, whether it was towards him or others.

Qiu Feng and others touched their noses, and everyone knew that Xue Lihong was not only talking to Xiao Mo, but also to them.

However, what Xue Lihong said was very reasonable. Why did Qiu Feng want to protect Xiao Mo? Isn't it just because Xiao Mo has paid too much in the past? Although Xiao Mo was paid by the base for rescuing people and scavenging teams on missions, the payment was just a random account. If Xiao Mo really wanted to be serious with them, even paying him all the alloy particles in the base wouldn't be enough!

Think about it, how much did it cost to buy a healthy heart before the catastrophe? What's more, it's the heart genetically cultivated by the original owner.

So how much do liver, lungs, kidneys, spleen, intestines, brain, bones, limbs, skin, eyeballs... how much do these cost

It seems very simple for Xiao Mo to treat the injured, but if you think about it carefully, not only did they directly cultivate the missing parts that are most suitable for the patient, but they also successfully transplanted them all, without any hidden dangers or worries. How do we calculate these real money

Let's not talk about it far, let's just say that Xiao Mo almost rescued 3,000 soldiers and 100 elite mercenaries from the base this time. How will this account be settled

Xue Lihong was right, Xiao Mo didn't owe the base, but the people in the base owed him a lot.

It wasn't enough for Xue Lihong to slap everyone in front of them, and said to the point: "And don't think that if you go to the capital against your heart, it will be a good thing for the Zhongshan Base. Sometimes, what you get from compromise is not all understanding and respect, but instead It will lead to more greed and aggression.”

For example, his relationship with Xiao Mo. It was his invasion from the beginning, and Xiao Mo retreated and tolerated it, but he was not satisfied and wanted more. Xiao Mo retreated again and again until his body and mind now belonged to him. Well, they should all belong to him, right? But it seemed that his boss looked at his sister-in-law for two seconds longer before

Qiu Feng was shocked. Maybe there were too many things that happened today, and he didn't think deeply about it for a while, but now after hearing Xue Lihong's words, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Yes, today the capital asked him for Xiao Mo, and he gave it to him. So tomorrow, in the name of righteousness, the capital asks him to give supplies, soldiers, and mercenaries. Will he give them or not

Lei Bing also spoke at this time. This guy was particularly in need of a beating as soon as he opened his mouth. "Let me tell you, boss, the capital city asked you to hand over Captain Xiao. You didn't just agree to it in vain, right? Food, ammunition, planes, Don’t you want a dozen of the latest and highest scientific research results?”

Qiu Xin blinked and stabbed his own father, "My dad is definitely not that stupid. If the capital city insists that we hand over Brother Xiao, then he will definitely kill the capital city bloody."

General Qiu, who was blinded by his patriotism and wanted nothing, had veins bursting out of his forehead: "..." These little bastards!

Xue Lihong snorted coldly, "What do you mean, you want to use my boss in exchange for supplies?" Everyone is itchy, right? Then, this person said: "General Qiu, you know that our boss is suffering from the Holy Father's disease again. Even if he wants to stay in Zhongshan, he will still go to the capital. But our boss relies on Why do you want people to come when you are called? Do you think our boss is easy to bully? I don’t care about your deal with the capital, but if you want our boss to come over, we have to calculate the business trip expenses, settlement expenses and remote medical treatment expenses carefully. Calculate."

Xiao Mo:...Wait a minute, didn't you just say that you were going to deal with Bao Yiyong? How did it get here

Qiu Feng talked with everyone present and felt that his awareness was still too low. As expected, management cannot be separated from the masses. It is very important for officials to always understand the needs of the people.

As the top leader of the base, Qiu Feng was very embarrassed and humbly asked for advice on the spot: "I was wrong. Yes, our Captain Xiao is so important to our base. If they want us to release people, how can the capital not do anything?" Blood? And there are so many dangers along the way to the capital. The plane is flying in the sky, which makes people uneasy. The cost of these seven or eight hundred and eighty-eight dollars must be calculated carefully with the capital. What are your suggestions? "

As soon as Qiu Feng's question came up, a heated discussion immediately started in the activity room. Everyone knew that Xiao Mo was going to the capital. If he didn't want the base to break up with the capital, he would have to go regardless of whether Xiao Mo would be stationed in the capital in the future. Now that going to the capital has become an established fact, then Xiao Mo's appearance fee... well, the treatment fee naturally needs to be carefully discussed. We must not weaken the reputation of our super dad, the scavenger team and the Zhongshan base, right

Xiao Mo: ... Hey, Bao Yiyong’s question

Everyone was having so much fun discussing the exchange list that they didn’t even notice a strange green little vine cat sneaking into the house. Well, everyone present noticed it. They just saw Xiao Mo bending down and picking up the little vine cat. Xue Li Hong didn't prohibit it, so no one asked anymore.

Regarding Bao Yiyong's issue, Xue Lihong and Qiu Feng reached an agreement individually after everyone drew up a list of exchange requirements with the capital.

Xiao Mo wanted to ask, but Xue Lihong gave him a look that told him not to worry about it.

One advantage of Xiao Mo is that if someone expresses unwillingness to let him know something, he will not go out of his way to get to the bottom of it.

He did this before just because he didn't want to humiliate himself and test his importance in some people's hearts. Now he does this because he doesn't care, especially because he believes that his Xiaohong will never harm him.

After all these matters were decided, Qiu Feng asked them the reasons for leaving with the thick fog and the details afterwards.

Because elemental life was involved, Xiao Mo didn't say much. He put all the credit on the little vine cat.

"This is Little Green, a new creature that has produced certain intelligence. It is more friendly to humans. It seems to have a good impression on me and Little Red. Because it came to help, letting the light spots and the people controlled by the light spots chase us, and the thick fog was controlled by the light spots. The dots are born, and when the light dots move, the dense fog will also move with it. Little Green asked us to guide the light dots to its birthplace. Now the light dots are having fun there, but will they stay there? It will come back again, no one knows.”

Play? happy? Qian Yunkai and Lei Bing, two of the more keen ones, both caught these two words.

Everyone looked at the little vine cat.

The little vine cat was lying in Xiao Mo's arms, with a harmless and weird look on his face.

Qiu Feng and Qian Yunkai could both hear Xiao Mo's vague words, and the process would definitely not be as simple as what he said. However, out of trust in Xiao Mo, everyone thought: Xiao Mo's unknown source would naturally have him. I don’t know the reasons for telling them, but I will definitely tell them when I can tell them in the future. Sometimes concealment is also a form of protection.

"By the way, if you see the thick fog in the future, it's best not to go in, especially during the time when I'm going to the capital. Don't even think about catching the light spots inside. That's not something we can control at the moment... a miracle."

Qiu Feng was sniffing the cigarette and raised his head when he heard this: "So you went to the capital and plan to come back?"

Xiao Mo, "Of course. This is my home, my foundation. Where else can I go if I don't come back here?"

Xue Lihong was even more direct: "According to your promise during the day, Taibao Mountain No. 11 already belongs to us. You don't want to default on it, do you?"

Qiu Feng laughed and scolded: "As long as you can come back, let alone the Eleven Taibaoshan, just... Humph! I almost fell into your kid's trap. It would be nice to have the Eleventh Taibaoshan. Remember to come back as soon as possible after going to the capital."

Hearing Xiao Mo say that he just went to the capital for a walk and then came back, Lei Bing and the scavenger team all smiled - Xiao Mo's meaning to them was even more profound when they felt that they were likely to lose this person. And they also believe in the abilities of those two people. If they insist on coming back, unless the capital wants to fight to the death, they will definitely come back.

The matter had been decided, it was getting late, and Qiu Feng didn't want to delay Xiao Mo and the two's rest anymore - there were still many people waiting for Xiao Mo's treatment. Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, he heard the guard knocking on the door and reporting: "Chief , Minister Bao sent someone to ask Captain Xiao to come over, it seems that he wants to ask him to treat someone."

Before Xiao Mo said anything, Qiu Feng and Xue Lihong were the first to darken their faces.

Qiu Feng: Who does Bao Yiyong think he is? No matter what happens to Xiao Mo after he comes back, he wants to let him go. It's Qiu Feng. As the top commander of the base, I came here in person. What's more, Bao Yiyong still asked for treatment!

Xue Lihong walked out of the door directly and refused politely to the person who came to deliver the message: "I won't go. Our captain is injured, his power is seriously unstable, and he needs time to rest. If you have anything to do, we can talk about it after ten o'clock tomorrow. Also, we do not provide house call services to patients outside the Zhongshan base. If necessary, we will bring them over ourselves."

The person with special abilities who came to invite people frowned, "Please understand, the identity of the injured is very important. Please come to Captain Xiao no matter what, and the reward will be anything."

Xue Li's face turned red: "Didn't you understand what I said? The captain and I are going to bed. If you have anything to do, come back tomorrow morning."

People with superpowers want to curse: Is it more important for you to sleep or to save people

"Five thousand alloy particles."

"Ah."

"Ten thousand! This is..."

"roll."

The superpower changed his face, "Why are you talking like this! I came to invite your captain in such a loud voice, what is your attitude? Where is your captain? I want to see him!"

Xue Lihong was also annoyed, "Don't you understand human language? I already said that our captain is tired and his powers are unstable and he should not rest. What do you mean by insisting on letting our captain pass at this time? Is it possible for you? Do you just want to take advantage of his illness to kill him? I understand, are you jealous that our Zhongshan base has healing powers, so you want to kill him?"

The superpower opened his mouth wide and was so surprised, "What nonsense are you talking about! Who said we wanted to harm Captain Xiao? I just came to ask him to save people. Do you have a persecution delusion?"

Xue Lihong actually admitted, "Yes, when I look at you, I feel that you want to harm others."

Everyone in the room almost went crazy with laughter. Even Qiu Feng couldn't help but shake his head and laugh and curse. The security guard outside the door also had a hard time holding back laughter.

The superpower almost fainted from anger. He could no longer care about his demeanor. He was so angry that he scolded him without hesitation: "You'd better think clearly about who can be offended and who can't be offended. I'm afraid your captain doesn't know yet. Well, your captain will go to the capital with our minister the day after tomorrow. Don’t think that his healing ability is anything special. The capital will treat more than just him. If he still wants to have a place in the capital in the future, then he’d better be wiser!”

"Zhi Xiang, you xx!" Xue Lihong kicked the superhuman away.

The superpower user didn't expect that Xue Lihong would dare to attack him at the door of his house. He was kicked to the ground. When he reacted, he couldn't bear it. He launched an attack on Xue Lihong before he could get up. .

"Wind blade?" Xue Lihong sneered, pushed the two guards beside the door, and their bodies were ejected like projectiles.

"Whoa!" The superpower's head flew high, and his face showed the anger and severity of wanting to teach the other party a lesson, which indicated that his head was cut off before he could react, so that he He didn't even have time to change his expression.

The other end.

The person who wanted to ask Xiao Mo for treatment was Bao Yiyong himself.

Bao Yiyong already felt that there was something wrong with his body before the thick fog lifted. After returning, his physical condition began to get worse.

And he was not the only one who had problems. The researchers who went with him, except for those with supernatural powers, all had excess energy and were in danger of being unable to withstand their bodies.

Ah Ning is also a healer. If divided according to the current power level, she is still the highest known power level reaching level four.

With Ah Ning around, Bao Yiyong's physical collapse was somewhat delayed, but other researchers did not have this benefit, because once Ah Ning left Bao Yiyong, his physical condition would become uncontrollable.

Yes, Ah Ning's ability can only temporarily keep Bao Yiyong's status quo, but it cannot solve his fundamental problem.

Starting at two o'clock in the afternoon, ordinary researchers continued to explode because they could not bear the energy in their bodies. These researchers were originally here to study the explosive flesh and blood of others, but now they themselves have become one of the experimental subjects, and they are still of little use. Although no one actually said it, everyone who followed Bao Yiyong and knew his purpose would wonder if this was karma

Bao Yiyong complained to Brooke that the protective clothing they provided was not sufficiently protective.

But Brooke said plausibly: "Our protective clothing is based on the research on the energy and destructive power of the dense fog that we have collected, but we have not encountered the purple light spots we encountered this time, just like we have not encountered them before. Knowing that light spots have the ability to disperse and enter the human body to control others. Perhaps the purple light spots themselves contain ingredients that can break through protective clothing materials, which is unpredictable. And our protective clothing does not It is not completely ineffective. If the protective clothing completely fails, ordinary people will explode within a few minutes after entering the thick fog. You see, it will be fine if a person with super powers puts on our protective clothing. This means that our protective clothing is very effective in preventing And filtering energy is still effective.”

stranger! Bao Yiyong felt great hatred in his heart. Why were neither he nor Xiaozhi capable? Why can so many social trash and human scum become superpowers, while these high-level people who have made so many contributions to the country can only secrete alloy particles

Secrete alloy particles! Bao Yiyong looked at his right palm, his eyes full of ridicule. Only those who study conversion energy know that people who can secrete alloy particles are actually the same as raising pigs in the past. However, in the past, everyone raised pigs to eat pork, but now people who can secrete alloy particles do so. This new type of energy they produce.

"Where is Xiao Mo? Is he not back yet?" Bao Yiyong stood by the experimental table, watching the computer analyze his blood, while asking the bodyguard not far away.

Ah Ning stood side by side with him, always holding his wrist.

"It is said that he has returned and has sent someone to invite him to where their team is stationed."

"Well." Bao Yiyong frowned as he looked at the data, "How long have our people been there? Find someone to urge them and tell them to hurry up. If Xiao Mo takes Qiao and you ask someone to find Qiu Feng, just tell me Yes, it is an order from the Academy of Sciences to let Xiao Mo come over."

He needs a healer, but he doesn't want to rely on people with powers, let alone be influenced and counter-controlled by them. No matter how valuable Xiao Mo's abilities were, he was still just a person in front of the country. He was going to teach Xiao Mo a lesson today.

"Yes." The bodyguard was ordered to leave.

Ah Ning's eyes drooped and she yawned lazily. She didn't agree with Bao Yiyong's mentality and method of controlling people with superpowers, but she didn't intend to say too much. Only those close to him know how terrifying Bao Yiyong's energy is.
