In the base director's office, Meng Huo sat on the sofa with a relaxed look, while Su Tang looked at Zhang Chenxi puzzledly.
"Why is she in our base?"
When I first entered the base, I wanted to go home to freshen up and then find Zhang Chenxi to share the good news. However, before I could do that, I saw a woman sitting by the flower bed.
After a moment's reaction, Su Tang recognized that it was Qiao Mingxi!
When she visited the Southern City Lord's Mansion at night before, she had seen her through the window.
Although it was only a glance, Su Tang had a good memory and would not forget the appearance of this woman. However, it took him some time to recognize her this time because Qiao Mingxi had changed so much!
Although she was not very good-looking originally, her temperament and dress were more like an educated woman, which made her attractive.
But now...
Thinking of Qiao Mingxi sitting there blankly, looking like a living skeleton, Su Tang couldn't help but shudder. Qiao Mingxi was now so thin that she looked like a skeleton with a layer of skin on top. Her face was pale, and her eyes, which were not big, were abnormally bulging, like two small light bulbs, but they didn't light up. The deadness in her eyes was obvious, and her eyeballs didn't move at all. When she heard the sound, her whole face turned around mechanically!
Considering the secrets of the Qiao family that he heard that night, Su Tang could not help but guess that she must have been tortured into this state by Qiao Li!
But why is she here?
Zhang Chenxi stroked her short hair, leaned back on the sofa, and said with emotion, "Qiao Li is really cruel. If he hated her, he could have just killed her, but he had to keep her alive. Now, she couldn't stand it anymore and ran away. I think she is really pitiful..."
Su Tang looked at him with disdain.
"Stop talking nonsense! Tell me straight, what good thing did she bring to impress you?" He said it as if he was full of sympathy. How could it be possible! She must have gotten some benefits, and it was not small!
Zhang Chenxi chuckled, with an expression that said "You really know me well", and said cheerfully, "We have picked up a great bargain this time. Who would have thought that Qiao Mingxi is actually a computer expert! Her gift of surrender is actually a base monitoring system. Not only that, she also brought eight people with her, and each of them is an expert in this field! The plan of this system, including their demonstration, has been repeatedly studied by several captains and I, and we all think it is feasible... So, although her identity is a bit troublesome, we still let them stay for the time being."
These words contained a lot of information, and Su Tang was unable to react for a moment.
Computers, monitoring systems and the like, it had been a long time since she had heard anyone mention these things. She had thought that with the end of the world, materials would be hard to find, and these things would inevitably be lost.
I didn't expect that there are still people who can master it.
"Did she design this system, or did those other people do it?"
Zhang Chenxi said, "It was mainly her. When their people were demonstrating, everyone asked a lot of questions, and she answered the tricky ones. It seems that she played a leading role."
Meng Huo stroked his chin and interjected, "This thing must be what she was going to give to Qiao Li, right?"
Zhang Chenxi clapped his hands, "Right! I think so too!"
He suddenly sighed, "This woman is really not simple. I asked, those eight people were either trained by her or recruited by her. She gathered these people together a few years ago, secretly raised them, and did some research on them, but she kept it a secret from Qiao Li. According to my guess, she should want to get rid of Qiao Mingmei and then take out these things. In this way, even if Qiao Li finally finds out that she was the one who did it, he will not have the heart to kill her. On the contrary, he will have to worship her! However, Qiao Mingmei died in the end, and she was tortured by Qiao Li and had no intention of doing so at all."
It is indeed amazing... this Qiao Mingxi...
Su Tang thought silently.
Speaking of which, when she had planned for Qiao Mingmei to leave the city and seek her own death, if they had not happened to come to the base, Qiao Mingmei would have died for sure. Not only did she get rid of the hatred in her heart, but she also got away with it. This method and scheming alone should not be underestimated!
She could do something under Qiao Li's nose without him knowing anything, especially since Qiao Li was so suspicious and didn't like her at all...
It’s not difficult to do!
In this respect, she is also inferior.
After thinking for a while, Su Tang said, "Are you sure she really wants to surrender? I don't think she has the will to live. If she is determined to die and wants to use us as a raft to deal with Qiao Li, then we can't keep her! People like that can do anything. I don't want her to ruin my original plan." Zhang Chenxi smiled firmly, "She does want to take revenge on Qiao Li, but she wants to live more. As long as she wants to live, she can only get on our ship. But where the ship should go is decided by us, not her!"
Su Tang nodded and laughed after a while, "Well, what you said makes sense. Then let's make the best use of it, so as not to bury her."
Monitoring systems are good things.
If it can be produced and successfully installed in the base, it will save a lot of manpower and also improve safety.
Not only that, since the people she brought with her are experts in this field, they will surely be able to develop more applicable things.
There is just one thing: it is not easy to produce.
Although she didn't know much about this aspect, she knew that electronic components were not like weapons manufacturing. That required more and smarter equipment, and the materials required far exceeded those required for general weapon manufacturing!
Thinking about it, Su Tang said, "Let's gather Qiao Mingxi and the others for a meeting first. Making a set of monitoring equipment is a big project. I have to study it carefully with them."
"Okay! I'll ask someone to get them over right away!" Qiao Chenxi was waiting for her to say this, and left excitedly immediately.
Meng Huo looked at Su Tang, who had been immersed in thought and had completely forgotten about him, and couldn't help but sigh. He knew that once she returned to the base, even if she was tricked, she would definitely be busy like a top!
But what can he do? She is just like this, and he thinks she is so cute when she is so serious...
It's so embarrassing!
Looks like he needs to find more things to do!
By the way, he originally wanted to take those guys to the military base for some training, but in the end he didn't go. So he should train them well while there is still time!
As for the Southern City, the information network should also be expanded. After Qiao Li comes back, there will definitely be something good to watch in the city. He cannot miss this opportunity.
Maybe you can find out something interesting.
For example, who came up with the idea for Qiao Li to get his hands on that batch of arms?
He would never believe that he was so flustered just because the Central City took back the Northern City, and forgot that he had lost several groups of people in the military base before!
And what is the other party’s plan?
To them, is he a friend or an enemy?
Huh? Now that I think about it, he has so many things to worry about!
Meng Huo was immediately satisfied. Hearing the footsteps approaching outside, he embraced Su Tang, who was deep in thought, and kissed her cheek. "You go ahead and do your work. I'll go out and take a look."
Su Tang blinked before coming back to his senses, "Well, okay, then let me check out their situation and go home after I'm done."
Going home?
The smile on Meng Huo's face grew wider.
"Ok, I will wait for you."
In the following days, not only Su Tang was busy, but Meng Huo was also busy.
During the time they were away, a lot of new people came to the base.
Some came from the southern city, and some came from other bases.
There are people with special abilities and ordinary people. As the number of people increases, the management of the base, the arrangement of personnel, and the most important thing, the safety of the base, all things must have clear and strict systems and corresponding persons in charge.
These things were originally handled by Zhang Chenxi alone, but his energy was limited after all, and frankly speaking, he had too little experience in this area. Managing a base and a hunting team are very different, and the difficulty is much greater!
Therefore, many things need to be re-planned.
Meng Huo had no choice but to participate.
Of course, he had no intention of staying out of it!
Since Su Tang called this place "home", then this place should look like "home".
He hoped that she could live a relaxed and free life here!
The sense of belonging that Central City could not give her was something she deserved here!
With Meng Huo's physical strength and energy, he always feels tired when he goes home every day. You can imagine how heavy his workload is!
But he is definitely busy and happy!
Within a few days of returning to the base, Su Tang's appearance and health recovered. After examination, Yang Lifan also confirmed that she was really fine this time.
Needless to say, Meng Huo is absolutely determined to make up for the lost days for both of them double!
Unfortunately, I can’t enjoy myself every night because I have to work the next day.
But after he used all sorts of tricks, most of the time, Su Tang could only be defeated...
Physical communication became smoother and the relationship between the two became closer.
Everyone in the base, whether old or new, who is not blind, knows that the two are a couple.
But Meng Huo found that the anxiety in his heart had not disappeared.
He still strongly disliked those guys hanging around Su Tang, even for work. And Qiao Mingxi, who had been pestering Su Tang more and more recently, took a break and slowly emerged from Qiao Li's shadow, looking like she was fully committed to building a base monitoring system. She would always whisper to Su Tang whenever she had something to do, even during mealtimes, and kept talking about how to do this and that.
To Meng Huo, she is now more annoying than a fly!
Because flies can be slapped to death, and Su Tang values this woman very much, and the two of them are always very focused when discussing. Not to mention slapping her to death, even if you want to drive her away, it's not easy!
Meng Huo was very angry about this matter.
Whenever he got angry, life became difficult for some people, and they were often taken out for training.
Then one day, when Meng Huo was looking deeply at the laboratory where Su Tang was during a break, He Mingshen was finally pushed out by everyone again.
"Well, she's yours now, don't worry about her!"
Meng Huo glanced at him, "What do you know?"
He Mingshen said seriously, "Well, after all, I am also married, so I definitely know as much as you do! If you ask me..."
Meng Huo was stunned for a moment, and then an idea flashed in his mind.
He suddenly turned sideways and patted He Mingshen's shoulder, interrupting him, "Yes! What you said makes sense! I understand everything now!"
"Ah?!" He Mingshen stared at Meng Huo's hurriedly receding back, and muttered after a long while, "What did I say? I haven't even started to say anything yet!"
