Laughter in the room sounded one after another. Everyone from the military glared at her with eyes of wanting to kill this stupid woman.
Song Xianghong’s arm moved and wanted to give her a slap, but he finally endured it and spread out on the chair in a very decadent manner. It’s over, everything’s over. He didn’t have to look back; he could imagine the incredulous expressions on the faces of his immediate subordinates sitting behind him.
“It’s better if Miss Song makes it clear to avoid things being unclear in the future.” The man asked with a sneer.
Song Qiaoqiao’s face turned pale,as she sneered: “Yan Xin was originally our family’s subordinate…”
“Miss Song.” Yan Xin suddenly spoke, squinting at her with a playful gaze. “I just owe Mr. Song a favor, which is why I assisted him after the end of the world. Before this mission, he told me that this mission is very dangerous, and it is very likely that I may not be able to return, so if this second mission is successful, it will be counted as returning a favor to Mr. Song.”
Song Qiaoqiao clapped both hands on the table. “Yes! That set of equipment should belong to our Song family!”
Yan Xin nodded slightly. “That’s right, I didn’t say no.” After speaking, he looked around the people in the room and said slowly, “This time when we went to SH city, apart from assisting the base, we had another mission – which Miss Song just mentioned about food production equipment. That equipment can process food into paste, which is the space food we’ve all heard of before the end of the world. Although the taste, shape, and color are not very good, each serving can guarantee the daily calorie needs of the human body. It is small in size, easy to carry, and has a long shelf life. As long as everyone controls their food intake, a small tube can provide a whole day of calories and vitamins.”
The biggest problem in the base is a lack of food. The base was surrounded by zombies last time, destroying all the farmland outside the west gate! If there is such a convenient and hassle-free thing…
Everyone’s eyes lit up thinking about it. Someone from a certain military force, who knew there was no way to swallow it themselves, sighed softly and asked, “Then Major Yan, this equipment…”
Yan Xin nodded slightly: “Brought it back.” After saying that, he glanced at Song Qiaoqiao with a half-smile, “Two sets.”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then swept towards the Song family with gloomy expressions.
Song Qiaoqiao really stood up: “At least one is my family’s!” She was not so stupid to think she could swallow both sets alone in this situation.
“Of course, this is what the Song family deserves.” Yan Xin looked at the others and spread out his hands. “After all, this matter only happened because Mr. Song proposed it. The other one belongs to the base…” After saying that, he looked around the crowd again. “To produce that kind of portable food, raw materials are needed. I don’t know much about such things, but with so many talents in the base, you can think of a way?”
Yes, he never planned to swallow these devices from the beginning, and he knew that he would never be able to swallow them.
If the forces in the base were still intact after returning to the base, after handing over two sets of equipment, they will find suitable forces to cooperate with using the other two sets as bargaining chips. But now in this situation… it seems that the two sets of equipment do not need to be taken out for others to share the benefits.
Although this result was not satisfactory to everyone, everyone agreed for the time being. They quickly formulated a plan for distributing benefits. The price of food in the base has risen again, crystal nucleus has completely become the circulating currency, and crystal nuclei is also needed to improve abilities… Therefore, equipment = food = crystal nuclei = upgrade!
As for the set of equipment that Yan Xin is going to hand over to the Song family…
Everyone present looked at the Song family openly and secretly as if they were dead people. Apart from Song Qiaoqiao, no one from the Song family, including Song Xianghong, had good expressions.
No one at the meeting objected to Yan Xin’s decision. Everyone who came to the meeting with him is an insider, and know apart from the two sets to be handed over, Guo Bing has two more sets. Having just returned, the situation in the base is still unclear. Two sets are sent out to avoid disaster, seek help, and indirectly sell a personal favor in exchange for a foothold in the base.
This time, the meeting for some inexplicable reason ended in an enthusiastic discussion about the use of the two sets of equipment. As soon as the meeting ended, everyone suggested going back to pick things up.
It was still Yan Xin who got up to say something first, “I want to go visit Mr. Song first.” Even thought everyone was dissatisfied, given Mr. Song’s position in the base at the beginning, and Yan Xin’s appearance of repaying gratitude, no one said anything inappropriate.
As such, a large group of people went to the Song house.
Song Xianghong smiled bitterly in his heart. After his father passed away, even during the funeral, never had so many people visited. The number of visitors is more than the total number of people who had visited the ancestral hall. Putting aside those who went to the Song family with Yan Xin, almost every faction secretly sent at least one person to the shopping mall where Yan Xin’s motorcade was located to learn about the situation, fearing those things would be robbed halfway.
Yan Xin followed the familiar road all the way to Song’s house. Mr. Song was cremated and buried in the cemetery outside the south gate. Unlike those buried ashes in the big pit, although it was also outside the south gate, with Mr. Song’s level, there was a separate tomb built.
Going out the city isn’t convenient, so Yan Xin did not have to go to the cemetery, but went to the Song family and bowed to the black and white photo. He owed Mr. Song a life, and now, with this mission, he has almost paid back his original kindness. If it weren’t for Song Xianghong being useless and unable to stand up in this world, Yan Xin originally did not mind still using the Song family as his backstage after returning this time. It’s better to cooperate with them now than to fumble while trying to gain a foothold.
But Song Xianghong is really not a top performer, let alone the eldest lady in his family… Even if Yan Xin is not a person who judges people by their appearance, the IQ of his cooperates cannot be too low. In fact, he is not afraid of low IQ – as long as they honestly stay at home, and does not come to make trouble like a pig teammate; he doesn’t demand the same from such a short-sighted woman. However, despite her low IQ, she is extremely arrogant, and always thinks that he is the most intelligent person in the world, and talking nonsense everywhere.
After offering incense to Mr. Song, Yan Xin turned around and left the Song family. Those people who joined in for fun, but were afraid that Yan Xin would go back and make more private transactions with the Song family, were relieved. After bowing and pretending, they also hurried away.
Many who followed didn’t even enter the Song house, and left with Yan Xin, leaving an empty mansion and a few soldiers looking at the empty room with sad faces. The Song family’s father and daughter also did not stay at home, and followed Yan Xin. They still had to get the equipment back. Although Song Xianghong knew that it would be difficult for him to keep it, he might be able to use it to negotiate for other benefits or something.
As for Song Qiaoqiao… After learning that people could stimulate abilities, she successfully activated an offensive fire ability. It was more lethal than her father’s water ability, so she even suppressed him at home. On the one hand, he was her father, on the other hand, she teamed up with her mother, preventing Song Xianghong from speaking most times. That’s why she blurted those words in the meeting today without care at all, and even Song Xianghong couldn’t control her.
When they went back to the mall, they used a different road. When they passed a villa, Guo Bing suddenly pointed and asked loudly, “Isn’t that our villa? Why is there someone living in it?”
He Zizhong and Fang Hao also looked at each other, and they also had doubts about the ownership of their villa.
Yan Xin looked over there, raised his eyebrows, turned his head and asked a team leader next to him: “I remember that we signed an agreement with the base when we left that our original homes and things will remain as they are. No one will touch it for at least a year. We haven’t left for more than half a year, how come our original house is occupied?”
Everyone knew the forces in the base had undergone a major reshuffle, and knew that there may be problems. The new forces will naturally replace the previous forces and receive their original industries and materials. The residences of those who were not in the base were also taken over by them as a matter of course.
“This…cough, go see, whose occupying their house? Hurry up and free it up!” The man hurriedly turned his head and shouted at the people behind.
Guo Bing sneered. “This is just the villa for our team. My brother’s also has a villa. They bought it before the end of the world. If this is also occupied, who can explain it?”
Yin Dong pushed his glasses aside. “The team on this mission was composed of at least ten teams and some military personnel. I think we should do some statistics after we go back, and let the people in charge of the base so we can cleanly compare things, to prevent any problems later.” After inheriting the power of the Overlord team, he also took over the villa and a rented high-rise three-bedroom apartment outside. Now… who knows who lives inside.
Yan Xin nodded as well. “This matter is not in a hurry.” As he spoke, his cold eyes swept over the people who were following him. The purple electric light in his eyes exploded a few times, full of murderous intent. It doesn’t matter if they don’t give it back, they can grab it back with their current position and strength.
