Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree

Chen Dalong answered the phone and his first sentence was: "Professor Xu, I'm sorry, we can't complete your task. I will refund the 1.5 million deposit to you in two days."

If it were before, Chen Dalong would have swallowed the deposit directly, but now that he wants to continue to move up, especially to upgrade his military rank, he can't be too hostile to these official institutions.

Xu Liang, who was on the other side of the phone, listened to a slight silence and then said: "I know, I heard that seven members of your team died. I am deeply sorry. I am willing to give the 1.5 million to their families as a pension."

Now it was Chen Dalong's turn to be a little surprised, but he nodded immediately and said: "Okay, on behalf of the brothers who passed away, thank you."

"You're welcome. This is what I should do. Also, are you really not going to continue with the mission? I heard that you can even hunt down the top 30 mutated wild boars on the danger list."

"How about we sign a new contract? As long as the 'Life Liquid' is developed, I am willing to pay you 20 million Huaxia coins." Xu Liang set out the conditions again.

This afternoon, when he got the news, he was shocked and worried all afternoon.

According to his understanding of Chen Dalong's character, the other party would most likely come to discuss the pension issue with him.

He was ready to bleed a lot, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't come.

Then he made inquiries from many sources through his own connections and learned the details of the matter.

Then he began to contact other security companies, hoping that someone would take over the task.

But without exception they were all rejected.

Later, he inquired with acquaintances and found out that security companies generally would not accept such tasks that required going deep into the mountains and forests because they were too dangerous.

When the security company performs escort missions, although it will also encounter attacks from mutant creatures, the situation is completely different.

Because when they were attacked, the battlefield was on the road, and the terrain here was open, making it easier for them to shoot.

In addition, with vehicles as cover, the safety factor can also be significantly improved.

But once you go deep into the forest, it becomes the territory of mutated creatures, and the level of danger increases two or three times.

Of course, in the final analysis, Xu Liang did not spend enough money.

If the money he can spare is not only 3 million, but 30 million, then it will not be a problem to invite the number one Star Shield security company in Yangcheng City to perform the task.

Xu Liang had no choice but to go around in circles, and finally came to find Chen Dalong again.

According to what he learned, the strength of Kuanglong Security Company was not bad at all.

Even mutated wild boars can be hunted.

And now that Chen Dalong has been promoted to an honorary second lieutenant and has purchased 10 more field automatic rifles, it is not an exaggeration to say that their strength has doubled.

What's more important is that other security companies require cash payment, and Chen Dalong is the only one who agrees to sign a gambling agreement.

According to his estimate, 20 million is enough to make Chen Dalong's heart beat. If it still doesn't work, he is even willing to increase the price to 30 million.

But what Xu Liang never expected was that Chen Dalong refused without any hesitation at all.

"Sorry Professor Xu, I will never accept the task. You can contact other security companies."

"Can you tell me the reason?" Xu Liang asked unwillingly.

"I believe in fate. I have fallen down there twice. This is a revelation from God, telling me not to go there again." Chen Dalong said casually.

Xu Liang: "..."

Xu Liang really didn't know how to proceed with this, so he changed the subject abruptly, "Mr. Chen, I heard that your security company has taken over the task of clearing Yunyang Highway?"

"Professor Xu, you are quite clear about the inquiry!" Chen Dalong just teased, but did not continue.

"Ahem! The area you focus on must be the Dongling Mountains, right?"

"There are also many mutant plants in the Dongling Mountains. I hope you can bring me some mutant plants. The requirements are not high, as long as the height is more than 50 meters."

"If the quantity is large enough, I might be able to extract the life liquid, and I will also pay you 20 million Huaxia coins. How about that?" Xu Liang said the final plan.

These words immediately moved Chen Dalong's heart.

The plants on the Dongling Mountains are quite tall. You can find them even at seventy or eighty meters, let alone 50 meters.

It's just that it's too dangerous there. If there's nothing important, the army won't go there, and no one will make any plans.

But if we drop by this time, it won’t be a big problem.

The most important thing is that there are no resurrected creatures inside, so it should be possible.

However, he still did not say anything, but said: "Okay, I will give it a try, but this kind of thing cannot be guaranteed."

"Okay! No problem, thank you very much. If it really works out, you will be our research team's permanent partner, and I can hand over similar tasks to you in the future." Xu Liang finally added another weight.

The two parties chatted for a few more words and then hung up the phone.

After Chen Dalong thought for a moment, he picked up his cell phone and called Mr. Parrot.

"Hey! What's going on?" The mutated parrot's somewhat impatient voice came from the microphone.

Ye Feng was watching a movie at this time, and it happened to be the climax. Of course he was not happy to be interrupted at this time.

"Well, that's it. The Yangcheng Research Institute just called me again..." Chen Dalong recounted the previous conversation carefully.

Ye Feng, who was a little impatient at first, narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this.

Although he knew that an organization had been studying mutant plants before, he was not clear about the content of the research.

but now……

"You just said that the function of the original liquid of life is to quickly heal wounds. If the experiment at Yangcheng Research Institute is successful, can it be prepared on a large scale in the future?" Ye Feng said with narrowed eyes.

"Yes! According to Professor Xu Liang's description, after the life liquid is extracted, it can at least increase our healing speed by 10 times. The application prospects are very broad." Chen Dalong answered honestly.

His words sent a chill down Ye Feng's spine.

Just imagine, if this life liquid is really researched, what will be the result?

There is no doubt that all mutated plants will suffer and become raw materials for making life liquid.

His first thought was to stop this research.

But it soon became apparent to him that this idea was not feasible.

He can ask Chen Dalong not to take this task, but the other party can also find other security companies.

Of course, with the strength of his men, he can even stop all security companies from obtaining mutant plant materials.

But what about behind?

He didn't believe that the research would stop like this. The experiment couldn't be completed here in Yangcheng City. The other party could also cooperate with research institutes in other cities. How could he stop it then?

What's more, it can be developed by Yangcheng Research Institute.

He does not believe that other research institutes, especially those large research institutes in first-tier cities and even the Chinese Academy of Sciences, have not conducted research in this area.

Therefore, the life essence will appear sooner or later, and the result will be the same.

If you want to protect yourself from being targeted, there is only one way.

Not only could he not stop it, but he wanted to join in and take advantage of the opponent's weakness to gain the upper hand.

As long as you take the initiative, you will have a lot of room for maneuver in what to do next.
