Dressed as Meow, Grandpa becomes Goldfinger
Chapter 178 Plague & Rumors
Martial arts survival base, the core area.
Mr. Yang, Patriarch Xia, and other leaders of the major forces gathered together, along with Ao Tiancheng from Haishi and Lu Sheng from Pengshi.
Hua Xiaoyin should also have a place in Zhongdu, but until a few days ago when the martial arts outbreak broke out, the local forces sent someone to invite Hua Xiaoyin to the meeting.
It was only then that she was shocked to find that Hua Xiaoyin and her party, who claimed to be recuperating from illness, had already left the building.
None of the high-ranking martial arts officials who were in power in the local area noticed the clue before this, it was like being slapped hard by Hua Xiaoyin.
Ao Tiancheng and Lu Sheng who heard the news also had extremely ugly faces, and secretly scolded Hua Xiaoyin for being cunning.
The upper level of the base is alright, most people who can be in power are not too stupid, really stupid, and there are capable people around to give advice.
With Zuo Tianlang, the former leader of the Sky base, teaching him a lesson, how could a person like Ruhua Xiaoyin allow herself to have anything to do with the plague.
Those above knew it, but the survivors below did not.
Because she never thought that Hua Xiaoyin and her party could leave the base without anyone noticing.
The local power holders of Wulin did not cover up when they sent people to invite them, and the news that the people from Zhongdu secretly left the Wulin base was directly spread.
Coupled with panic during the epidemic, many people have doubts about Hua Xiaoyin and her party who left early, and blame the disaster that is happening at the base on the conspiracy of outsiders.
Even the influence of Haishi and Pengcheng's reputation evaluations made both Ao Tiancheng and Lu Sheng even more depressed.
"Still can't leave the base?"
Mr. Yang first looked at all the participants one by one, and then asked his subordinates respectfully waiting at the door.
"Go back to Mr. Yang, no."
"This time, let's talk about it carefully."
Following Mr. Yang's voice, the noisy discussions in the conference room gradually became quieter, and after more than ten seconds, only the voice of the report remained.
"This time, there are dozens of death squads performing the task of breaking the door.
Two level-[-] mutants, and the remaining eight are all late-level five or peak strength.
It took 28 minutes and 42 seconds from opening the door of the area to when all staff were infected with the epidemic and could not continue to perform tasks, and the longest distance from the entrance and exit was [-] meters.
Duration and distance, can be ranked in the top five in all previous missions.
Among the ten mutants, three died when they were dragged back by the rope, and the seven survivors showed five different symptoms, three known and two unknown.
As of this report, we have discovered a total of 59 symptoms of infection. "
The man who finished the report bowed slightly to the big brothers.
The conference room was so quiet that everyone's breathing could be heard clearly, and the atmosphere was stagnant as if in a double gravity zone.
Everyone has a stick in their throat, and there are countless things they want to say, but no one can really say it.
The participants sat in their seats in different postures, like a lifelike wax figure.
I don't know how much time passed, and finally someone spoke again in the conference room where the needle drop could be heard.
It was Ao Tiancheng who spoke, and he raked his hair irritably, and said gloomily, "Where's Qian Huaixiang? Where's Xia Cheng! Where are your so-called elites? When are you coming back?"
no answer.
This is not the first time this question has been raised. From hope to numbness, there have been too many disappointments, and gradually no one has hope.
Ao Tiancheng slapped down the table angrily, unable to maintain his noble son's behavior any longer, he cursed "shit" in an extremely suppressed manner.
Seeing everyone's gazes on him, Ao Tiancheng stood up straight away and said, "It's a waste of time to continue this broken meeting, so please forgive me for not accompanying me."
After finishing speaking, turn around and leave.
"Boom!"
Ao Tiancheng's movements were too large, the chair was brought down, and there was a dull sound.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Sheng stood up silently, pushed the chair back to its original place, and left without saying hello.
"Damn it! We're all trapped in the base, and you're still putting on airs, two boys who haven't reached the peak of the sixth level, really think we're afraid of them?!"
The bearded man sitting on Patriarch Xia's left clenched his fist and slammed the table hard. With the sound of "click", the huge and thick solid wood conference table cracked and cracked, like a spider web covering the conference table.
Just add a little more force and it can be completely destroyed.
"Tsk! Big beard, don't blah blah blah, if you're capable, you'll confront those two brats face to face! How dare you?"
With sunken cheeks, She Lao Wu, who looked like a drug addict, turned back in disdain.
The bearded man who was already on the verge of anger couldn't bear it anymore, and cursed that he was going to fight She Laowu.
Patriarch Xia frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Lao Wu She, the bearded man, it's almost done. Don't look at what time it is now. We are just grasshoppers on a rope. At this time, we are fighting among ourselves. Do we think we are dying fast enough or something?"
"It's none of your business!" the bearded man retorted, but in the end he didn't fight She Laowu.
She Laowu gave the bearded man a cold look, and then said with a strange smile: "You say we are grasshoppers on a rope, I agree with She Laowu, but I hope we don't become dead grasshoppers on a rope."
What he said was straightforward, whoever had the same idea, but couldn't think of a solution.
Mr. Yang knew that if he continued, he had to go back to the deadlock just now. He thought for a while and said, "I'll talk about each other's private affairs later. I have some ideas..."
Outside the meeting room, Lu Sheng caught up with Ao Tiancheng who left earlier.
"Second Young Master Ao, take a step to speak?"
Ao Tiancheng's face twitched slightly, barely resisting the urge to run away, and said "go".
He ignored Lu Sheng and walked out on his own.
Lu Sheng curled his lips, but he didn't confront Ao Tiancheng, even though he really didn't like Ao Tiancheng's character.
But compared to the local martial arts forces, it is obviously more beneficial for him to cooperate with Ao Tiancheng.
Before the big event of life and death, everything else is a small matter, which can be postponed.
Talk in two parts.
Inside the martial arts survival base, when anxious about the epidemic that lasted for many days and became more severe, scattered survivors continued to gather outside the base, gradually forming a scale.
They are all registered and official residents of the Wulin Survival Base. Due to various reasons, they have to go out during the rainy season.
But he never thought that when he came back, he would not be able to enter the base, and the Wild Shark team, which had a long history with Zuo Tianlang and Jiang Miao, was also among them.
Sun Zhongfu looked at the green miasma in front of him with a serious expression.
The Wild Shark team arrived here three days ago, because several groups of pathfinders were already trapped in the miasma, they did not dare to try again.
Like other people who didn't want to leave, they temporarily settled down a hundred meters away from the miasma.
Zong Chuan was impatient, and after three days in a row, he was in a state of firecrackers, ready to fire.
Therefore, even though Zong Chuan kept circling around the car, Sun Zhongfu didn't say anything to him, and even Geng's second child, who used to argue with Zong Chuan, rarely found fault.
Sun Zhongfu and Geng could bear it, but Zong Chuan couldn't bear it no matter what.
"Boss, how long do we have to wait like this? The outside looks like this, the ghost knows what happened in the base, but the little monkeys are still in the base!"
Zong Chuan's anxious forehead bulged, and he tugged on Sun Zhongfu's arm, growling in a suppressed voice.
After saying a word, the circles of his eyes were faintly red.
Looking at Zong Chuan like this, Geng's second sighed softly, put his hands on Zong Chuan's shoulders, and put some pressure on his fingers, reminding him to let go of the captain.
Zong Chuan stubbornly stopped for a while, and after a while, as if his strength had been drained, he let go of Sun Zhongfu's hand, opened the car door staggeringly, got into the car, and sat still on the seat.
Sun Zhongfu stared at Zong Chuan with his head bowed for a while, then sighed again.
These days, he has sighed countless times.
Zong Chuan was worried, wouldn't the rest of them be worried?
People who can be carefree have left one after another.
What is left is for relatives, materials, and points, no matter what the reason is, I can't let it go.
Geng's second stared at Zong Chuan for a while, then quietly gestured to Sun Zhongfu.
Sun Zhongfu was startled, didn't say anything, just explained to the other brothers, and then followed Geng's second child to the distance.
Miasma is not without its benefits.
Both the rainy season and the hot summer are the periods when mutant beasts are active, and it is also the season when mutant plants are most active, which has always been dangerous.
But around the current martial arts survival base, it is rare to encounter mutant creatures attacking, probably because they are afraid of the green miasma and avoided it.
"What's the matter?" Sun Zhongfu asked bluntly when he reached the corner where no one was around.
"I got two pieces of news." Geng Er Er said.
Seeing Geng Er Er's solemn appearance, Sun Zhongfu knew that the news would not be simple, so he nodded to indicate Geng Er Er that he was listening.
Geng's second thought about his sentence and said, "After the private treasury of the Yang family was stolen, there were rumors that Mr. Zuo was the head of the base who was insane a year ago?"
Sun Zhongfu didn't understand why Geng Er Er suddenly mentioned Zuo Tianlang at this moment.
To Zuo Tianlang, Sun Zhongfu's relationship is actually quite delicate.
The first encounter between the two parties was not very happy, and Zuo Tianlang strangled everyone in the Wild Shark team as a guarantee.
When something happened to Zuo Tianlang, they were almost implicated.
But Zuo Tianlang's advance confession allowed them to get through the difficulty without any risk.
If Zuo Tianlang hadn't left a message to make Sun Zhongfu and others report him first, after the incident, no matter what Sun Zhongfu and others said, it would be impossible to remove the suspicion.
Besides, it was after Zuo Tianlang and Xiao Aoao left for a period of time that Sun Zhongfu and the others vaguely realized it.
The strength of their team has improved significantly in a short period of time, perhaps it has something to do with Zuo Tianlang.
What made Sun Zhongfu confirm this conjecture was that Zhongdu Hua Xiaoyin had secretly gone to the Shark team's camp to inquire about Zuo Tianlang and the average level of ability improvement during that time.
And exchanged a whole bag of energy stones for the blood samples of Sun Zhongfu and others.
In his heart, Sun Zhongfu was not willing to give the blood samples of his team members to an outsider.
In the last days, there are so many strange abilities, who knows if someone can do anything to them through blood?
Curse-type and control-type abilities do exist.
But Sun Zhongfu also knew that Hua Xiaoyin was willing to spend energy stones to buy, not because of any scruples or kindness, but simply because exchanging energy stones was the easiest way for her to obtain blood samples.
Thoughts turned quickly, and Sun Zhongfu recalled the future and the past, and Geng's second child didn't stop talking.
