This heliport is located inside the capital, saving you the trouble of entering the city, and it is very close to the Academy of Sciences.
However, Luosang did not take them to the Academy of Sciences, but to Camp No. 4 of the Garrison Area.
Interestingly, Camp No. 4 is right at the back gate of the Academy of Sciences.
"...The specific situation is this. Generally speaking, the current major forces in Beijing can be roughly divided into four groups: the mercenary organization of superpowers, the Beijing Military Region, the upper and lower houses headed by the president, and the Academy of Sciences." Lausanne said all the way, Finally concluded.
Xiao Mo had many questions, "Which group does your garrison belong to? Which group does Bao Yiyong belong to? Who does the special commissioner who came to pick us up belong to?"
Luosang laughed, "You are very smart, and all three questions you asked are on point. I won't hide it from you. The garrison mainly protects the capital and the chief. In some respects, we can be said to be President Zhou Fang's biggest supporters. And your General Qiu at Zhongshan Base and our Commander-in-Chief are close buddies, and they are also supporters of the president."
"It's just the president? The upper and lower houses of parliament and the president are not of the same mind?" Xiao Mo heard it.
Luosang sighed greatly, "After the catastrophe, many people died in the capital, including ordinary people, but also high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen. Almost half of the members of the upper and lower houses died, and two very important senators were both presidents. Since their death, the balance of the House of Lords has begun to tilt. They support another person to take office, namely Ji Ke, the boss behind the special commissioner who went to pick you up. Member Ji Ke is currently in charge of the work on supernatural beings across the country. It is said that he has gathered many high-level superpowers under his command. In addition, this Ji Ke has a good relationship with Bao Yiyong, and the two often cooperate."
Xiao Mo: "In other words, although the upper and lower chambers seem to be on the same side as the president, they are actually torn apart internally?"
"That's right. So I said before that the four major forces in the capital are just a rough classification. In fact, each force has other forces involved. For example, the four major mercenary organizations in the capital. The second-ranked Lion Head Mercenary Team is supported by our garrison. The captain of the Flying Eagle mercenary team ranked first is the eldest son of the military commander Liu Lan. The third Tianlong belongs to Ji Ke and other congressmen. The situation of the other shadow mercenary team is more complicated. There are even rumors that they are capturing aliens outside. Those who can sell it to various base research institutes."
Seeing the door approaching, Luosang spoke faster: "It's the Academy of Sciences. Even though it's just a group of scientists, the gangs inside are no worse than those of parliamentarians playing politics. But they are generally divided into two parts. One part belongs to the radical faction, and the leader Needless to say, it is our Minister Bao. There are also some moderates. These scientists have both character and ability. It is a pity that good people are too soft-hearted, and their desire for power is not as strong as those who are cruel. , they pay attention to long-term and sustainable development, so their results are slower to come out. After one or two times, the resources and connections behind these moderate scientists are far inferior to those of the radicals. After all, no matter No matter how disaster happens, people are still used to looking only at immediate results and vested interests."
Xiao Mo completely understood, "In short, if we divide it according to people, the first force is headed by our president Zhou Fang, the second force is headed by Ji Ke Councilor, and the third force is the military region commander Liu Lan , the fourth force is Bao Yiyong and others, right?"
Luosang shrugged, "Bao Yiyong is not yet the fourth largest force. Everyone is accustomed to treating the Academy of Sciences as a whole. However, Minister Bao seems to have received some special support, and his influence and scope of influence have increased very quickly. If it were not for the Academy of Sciences, there would be someone who could be slightly more powerful. Suppress him, and maybe the Academy of Sciences will really become his voice. Who deserves the most credit!"
Xiao Mo wanted to ask some questions after that, but unfortunately the car had already reached the destination.
Along the way, Xiao Mo listened to Luosang's analysis of the forces in the capital, but did not pay much attention to the internal situation in the capital. When he got off the car, he couldn't help but feel a little pity. Fortunately, they should stay in the capital for a while, and they thought they would take a stroll with Xiaohong when they had free time.
The vehicle goes directly into the center of the garrison camp, and when you get off the vehicle, you go directly into a five-story building.
On the second floor of the building, Xiao Mo and his party met President Zhou Fang, presidential staff Feng Yang, and an old man with gray hair.
The moment Xiao Mo saw the President, he was surprised but not surprised. In the car, he heard Luo Sang say that their garrison belonged to the President. He guessed that he might see the President, but he thought it would take one or two turnarounds. He really didn't expect the President. Your Excellency actually came to the garrison to meet them in person.
"Report to the president! Complete the pick-up mission." Luosang saluted Zhou Fang.
Zhou Fang and his staff Feng Yang came forward with smiles and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Lei Bing, long time no see."
Lei Bing also put away his playful smile and stood at attention to salute Zhou Fang.
Zhou Fang nodded to him and shifted his gaze: "These two are Captain Xiao and Vice Captain Xue, right? You are welcome to come!"
Xiao Mo saw the president stretching out his hand and hurriedly stepped forward to hold it. He really didn't expect to see the president as soon as he arrived. This made him very excited and shocked. He could hardly think anymore - there was nothing he could do, he was just a small citizen.
Zhou Fang saw his slightly nervous look, smiled and patted his back, "You're fine, don't worry, I don't eat people."
Xiao Mo laughed out loud. Seeing that Zhou Fang was so approachable, he naturally relaxed a little. Even though he is a powerful superpower now, he was just a common man in the past. Even if he often hung out with a lieutenant general before, it can be seen that the president is still a little different.
Zhou Fang originally wanted to shake hands with Xue Lihong, but seeing Xue Lihong's indifferent expression, he didn't bother to hit the nail on the head. He smiled at Xue Lihong and personally led the two of them into the reception room.
Luosang did not go in and stood at the door.
Lei Bing approached Luo Sang and said in a gloomy voice: "I thought our boss and the Commander of the Guard had already made an agreement."
Luosang coughed slightly and lowered his voice: "Our Commander Wei should have contacted your boss. The situation is a bit special. I will explain to you later."
Lei Bing glared at him and walked towards the reception room.
Luosang stretched out his hand to stop him, but Lei Bing pushed him away.
Luosang had a headache and was about to forcefully stop him when the president's order came from inside: "Luosang, let Colonel Lei come in."
Hearing this, Luosang stopped obstructing Lei Bing.
Lei Bing stepped into the reception room, and the team of soldiers he brought stayed outside. But he didn't interrupt after coming in and just stood by the door.
Including the presidential bodyguards in the reception room, there are ten people in total. Lei Bing and the four bodyguards can be ignored for the time being.
Zhou Fang asked Xiao Mo and two people to sit down. Xiao Mo still looked a little reserved. Xue Lihong first looked at the indoor environment, then at the bodyguards, and finally looked at Zhou Fang and the others. He did not sit down, but stood beside Xiao Mo. terminal side.
After Zhou Fang sat down, he first introduced the people present.
Only then did Xiao Mo realize that the gray-haired old man was actually the president of the Academy of Sciences.
The dean doesn't look like a researcher at all, but more like the grandpa next door. He smiles very amiably and speaks in an unhurried manner. He also jokes to himself that he is not good at research and can't teach others. He just brought it out. Half of the disciples are nothing.
Xiao Mo: "..."
Feng Yang pointed out: "Bao Yiyong and several important researchers on his side were once disciples of President Yang. The reason why Bao Yiyong is not able to control the entire Academy of Sciences now is because Mr. Yang is here, and Bao Yiyong has many pairs of Mr. Yang still has some scruples and respect."
Xiao Mo suddenly realized what he was doing and was immediately in awe of the old man. Being able to teach a disciple like Bao Yiyong and make him feel scrupulous and respectful at least shows that this teacher has real talent and learning.
Mr. Yang waved his hand and pretended to be angry, "Don't mention this, I'm ashamed to mention it. You guys talk about your business first. Xiao Xiao, can I call you this? We'll have a good chat later. Don't worry, I don't It’ll knock you out and slice you up.”
After saying that, the old man winked at Xiao Mo.
Mr. Yang's last words are very similar to what he said when the president met. I wonder if they often comfort people with powers like this? Xiao Mo chuckled, thinking: This old man with a little bit of a child's mentality must be a teacher who is very loved and liked by his students.
After a relatively relaxed introduction to each other.
Zhou Fang said sincerely: "First of all, on behalf of the country, I would like to thank you for coming, and thank you even more for your selfless dedication."
Xiao Mo wanted to say that they were not here to make selfless contributions. Although he had planned to support some of his blood and cell supply research at the Academy of Sciences, his Xiaohong said that these should not be given in vain.
Xue Lihong could tell by looking at Xiao Mo's expression that he was embarrassed, but they couldn't just let this sentence fool them. This week Fang is worthy of being the president. He first greets people warmly and kindly, supports Xiao Mo and him with his own status, and then puts a big hat on them with a sincere and grateful face. If he is more shameless, He is thin and passionate, and he might actually be selfless when his forehead gets hot.
"Your Excellency, your time and mine are precious. Needless to say about the situation, please tell us what you want us to do and the remuneration you can pay. If we think it is suitable, we will accept it. If it is not suitable, we will leave." Xue Lihong Hold Xiao Mo's shoulders and prevent him from speaking.
When Zhou Fang first saw Xue Lihong, he knew that this person was not an easy person to talk to. He originally wanted to play the emotional card, but this path seemed a bit impassable
Staff Feng Yang intervened at the right time: "We understand your worries and concerns very well, but please believe us, since the President was able to withstand the pressure of the upper and lower houses, he worked hard to promote the initial protection law for people with special abilities and issued an order. We ask that the whole country not persecute people with special abilities, so our attitude towards people with special abilities today is the same, that is, we seek win-win cooperation rather than dividing humanity."
Feng Yang paused after saying this and said with a smile: "Are you worried that after Captain Xiao comes to the capital, we will arrest Captain Xiao and forcefully dissect him for study?"
The old man sitting on the couch to the president's right let out a laugh.
Feng Yang continued without waiting for Xiao Mo and the others to answer: "There are mad scientists, but the vast majority of scientists are respectable people with equal emphasis on character and ability. They prefer sustainable research. If Captain Xiao can stay Beijing, we will give him the best guarantee in terms of treatment and safety. If Captain Xiao is unwilling to do any research cooperation, there is no problem at all. In fact, our research will only require some physical data in the early stage, and in the mid-term, it will only be occasional Contributing a little blood or hair, etc., if it requires dissection or other harmful research to the body, it must be after the superhuman sacrificed on a mission."
Xiao Mo patted the back of Xue Lihong's hand and said sincerely: "My friends and I are very grateful to the country for this policy. Although we have become superpowers inexplicably, I think most people just want to use their superpowers." I can do more for this country and its people.”
Xue Lihong had goosebumps a little bit, but he knew that these words were what Xiao Mo felt. This guy had superpowers and never thought about becoming king or gaining fame and fortune. If the country had discovered Xiao Mo's abilities from the beginning and brought him to the capital, as long as they didn't abuse him too much, maybe his boss would have been there by now. Serve the country wholeheartedly.
"It's great that you have this idea." Feng Yang spared no effort to praise.
Zhou Fang also sighed: "It would be great if every superpower could think like you, but unfortunately... Do you know that there are now new humans and old humans?"
Xiao Mo nodded dumbfounded, "I've heard a little bit."
"This kind of understanding is really bad. It is because of this understanding that a group of scientists led by Bao Yiyong proposed the proposal of universal supernaturalization or elimination of supernatural abilities, and received the support of most ordinary people. But I think To achieve this goal, many people will inevitably be sacrificed. And in the process of sacrifice, more and deeper conflicts will inevitably arise." Zhou Fang sighed again.
"Don't you want all the people to become superpowers?"
Zhou Fang smiled openly, "Of course I think that universal superpowers would be more beneficial to the current world situation, but as I just mentioned, nothing can happen without paying a price. Other scientists also agree to develop in this direction. , but they do not recommend promoting this matter too artificially. Instead, they should follow the natural development, or research some auxiliary medicines, such as starting from improving the genes of ordinary people, so as to narrow the distance between people with superpowers and ordinary people. In this way Doing so can theoretically curb the development and deepening of conflicts between the two sides to the greatest extent. Unfortunately, the opinions of these scientists make many people feel that it is too slow, and they say they cannot wait."
Xiao Mo thought so.
Xue Lihong saw that the rhythm of the conversation was almost completely controlled by Zhou Fang, and she couldn't help but want to beat his boss on the knee to wake him up.
Zhou Fang and Fengyang couldn't help but feel happy when they saw that Xiao Mo was much easier to talk to than they thought, and he obviously had a deep sense of patriotism and national responsibility, and his attitude became more sincere and kind.
Dean Yang also asked some small questions about his powers from time to time. He asked them very skillfully and would never arouse Xiao Mo's resentment or vigilance.
After chatting like this for a few more minutes, Xue Lihong saw that his boss was about to get into the condom and even planned to push up his sleeves so that the old dean could draw blood. She couldn't bear it anymore and pushed him back to the sofa. , with a dead face, said coldly: "There are not many fools like my boss in the world. Since he promised to provide you and the future of this country with his flesh and blood for your analysis and research, then let's talk about it. Please give me the supply price.”
Feng Yang sneered, "Vice Captain Xue, you misunderstood, we..."
Xue Lihong interrupted him: "Compared with Bao Yiyong and Ji Ke, you may not be so greedy or eager, but your purpose is the same, so don't use the name of righteousness to fool my boss. You have righteousness." , Bao Yiyong and the others also have it. They are also for the future of this country and for the development of mankind, aren't they? And with the preciousness of my boss's ability and Bao Yiyong's intelligence, I'm afraid they won't do that kind of thing."
"You don't understand Bao Yiyong, he..."
Feng Yang's words were interrupted again by Xue Lihong, "He is very bad, and his attitude towards people with superpowers is mainly to control. If it weren't for this, we wouldn't be sitting here. Mr. President, you and the old dean come here in person Come, it does show us your sincerity, but superficial sincerity is not enough, I prefer actual benefits."
Zhou Fang, Feng Yang and the old dean looked at each other, and Feng Yang secretly smiled helplessly at Zhou Fang.
The relationship between Xue Lihong and Xiao Mo was well known to Zhou Fang and the others. After they learned about Xiao Mo, they conducted a detailed investigation on him. Although the power of the state machine is now much less powerful than before, it is still difficult to investigate a mercenary. It's easy to disclose relatively public information, especially since these two people barely concealed their relationship.
Therefore, Zhou Fang and the others did not ask low-quality questions such as "Can you Xue Lihong speak on behalf of your captain?"
Zhou Fang solemnly promised, "If Captain Xiao is willing to stay, we will give him the highest special treatment."
Xue Lihong's eyes became colder and colder, "Can you really not understand what I mean? We will not accept regular employment from any organization or individual, and we will not become anyone's subordinates, even if the organization is the country and the boss is the president. . One milligram of blood, one hundred conversion energy, and so on. To save people, additional calculations are made based on the number of people, injuries and illness, and the starting price is a minimum of one hundred conversion energy per person. "
Zhou Fang was dumbfounded. The price offered by Xuelihong was exactly the highest value they expected, but one milligram of blood costs 100 conversion energy, which was too expensive.
Xue Lihong: "Believe it or not, if I offer the same conditions to Bao Yiyong and the member from the accounting department, they will agree without hesitation?"
Zhou Fang smiled bitterly, Thaksin believed. Bao Yiyong and Ji Ke are such "simple" people. They take a fancy to a certain item or a person, and after confirming its great value, they can invest in it in the early stage. As for the middle and later stages, that is something to consider later.
Feng Yang felt that he could not let Xue Lihong lead them by the nose like this, so he pointed out very tactfully: "In addition to giving Captain Xiao the highest treatment, we can also give him the best protection. I understand that you are unwilling to surrender. Anyone who longs for freedom, but only the two of you, wants to survive in this complicated capital city and do well. It is not an easy task. You must know that the missing superpowers in the capital city have been No less than a hundred, and this is just the number we know.”
Xue Lihong sneered, "So, even if we choose to have an exclusive deal with you, you can't provide us with any protection? Then what's the point of us having an exclusive deal with you?"
Mr. Yang got a little angry, "You kid, why are you talking about profit? What do you think your boss is? You're selling milligrams of blood for milligrams!"
Xue Lihong replied calmly: "I regard him as my lover because he is too important and precious to me, so even if it is just a drop of blood, I would not let him shed it. If he was not willing to help you, let alone a hundred conversions. Even if it's ten thousand dollars in exchange for one milligram of blood, I won't agree."
Xiao Mo also developed a little shame. He didn't blush much when he heard such disgusting words, but he felt a little embarrassed. He tried to talk to Xini several times but was stopped by Xuelihong. This time it was even better and she directly covered his mouth.
In fact, he felt that Zhou Fang and Yang Lao were really good people, and they were really selfish. Although they deceived him, they were excusable. For this reason, he really didn't care about providing them with part of his flesh, blood, or even spinal fluid and pituitary gland for free - he could repair himself anyway. If he can really research something, then it must be part of his merit, right
But maybe Xiaohong was worried that he would rely on his repair ability and not treat his own flesh and blood as flesh and blood, so she didn't even give him a chance to speak.
Xiao Mo felt in his heart that his Xiao Hong was so cute, and he never forgot to show an apologetic look to Zhou Fang and the other three - it was the kind of look that our family member couldn't speak, please bear with her.
This look was not invalid. Zhou Fang and the three of them all misunderstood it. They all felt that Xiao Mo had been persuaded by them, but it was not easy to act opposite his lover, so they thought it would be better to agree to them first, and then renegotiate the terms after everyone got to know each other well and the relationship was deep. Or it might be much easier to absorb Xiao Mo.
After Zhou Fang had this idea, the following things were easily solved.
"I heard that Team Xiao can solve the physical dangers of those with superpowers after entering dense fog? Just in time, we have a few people here who have entered dense fog and their superpowers became unstable after they came out. They are all close to level three. It would be a pity if a person with superpowers is abandoned right now." Feng Yang issued the first mission on the spot.
Xiao Mo said that one has to see it to know whether it can be cured or not.
Zhou Fang and others were already prepared. When Xiao Mo agreed, they immediately asked the guards outside to bring people over.
While waiting, aide Feng Yang told Xiao Mo and the other two: "There will be a formal welcome dinner tonight, starting at six o'clock."
When Xiao Mo heard that there was a welcome dinner, he subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Staff officer Feng Yang had been observing the expressions of the two people, and he knew what Xiao Mo was going to say by looking at his expression. He immediately smiled and said: "Don't mind, this welcome party is not only to welcome you, there are many people with special powers coming to the capital during this period. , everyone has always wanted to hold a welcome party to get to know each other, but we were too busy and couldn't do it. It just so happened that you are here this time, so we just held it together."
Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong both understood that this so-called welcome party was probably one of the places where the capital's forces hooked up with new people with powers. The special nature of his powers is believed to have spread in the ears of some people in the capital. Although the president robbed them first, it is impossible to keep them from showing up. This welcome party is a "fair" for other forces. "An opportunity to win them over.
When he thought about having to deal with so many duplicitous people at night, Xiao Mo wanted to fall into a coma and escape.
Soon, the person who needed Xiao Mo to repair came.
There are three people in total, and their abilities are all in very bad condition. Two of them are not only unstable, but have also tended to disappear.
Xiao Mo asked for a quiet room and brought the three of them in together.
Of course Xue Lihong followed him to guard, but everyone else who tried to get in was kicked out.
As soon as Xue Lihong entered the room, she checked whether there was a monitor. After confirming that there was no monitor, she asked Xiao Mo to knock all three people unconscious.
Only now did Xiao Mo have the opportunity to mention to his Xiaohong: "Your Majesty said something. He said that a big storm is coming. But I asked what kind of big storm it is, whether it is weather or a simple description, and how long it will be. It didn't even answer me."
"Is your seizure on the plane related to this?"
"Yes. I just tried calling His Majesty again, but it still didn't respond." Xiao Mo was anxious.
Xue Lihong pondered, something that could be specifically mentioned by the system was by no means a trivial matter. If it was describing a big event that was about to happen, that would be fine. If it was related to the weather... What kind of big storm could the system specifically remind
"Xiao Hong, I'm a little worried about the people in the team and my family. I, I want to go back to Zhongshan Base." Xiao Mo was willing to provide part of his flesh and blood to the capital for research for free. In fact, he just wanted to get away and go back as soon as possible.
"I'll talk to Lei Bing later and see if he can get us a helicopter. If not, I'll steal one." Xue Lihong said in a relaxed tone, as if he were stealing a brick.
"Can you drive?"
Xue Lihong responded to him with a "of course" look.
Xiao Mo was amused, but he quickly put away his smile, "It's best to fly back tonight. I always feel something is wrong. By the way, you send this news to the mercenary mission platform so that everyone can pay attention."
"Yeah. Don't worry, if something really happens, Cheng Zai and the others have base vehicles, so they are safer than others no matter what. As for us, with me here, what are you afraid of? Come on, sleep, you are not even on the plane How to have a good rest."
Xiao Mo didn't want to sleep at first, but when Xiao Hong held her in his arms and patted her slowly, he actually fell asleep.
Xue Lihong looked at his tired face, bowed her head and kissed him on the forehead.
