"It's me." Lu Xinyi nodded slightly, her tone neither humble nor arrogant.

The old man still had a kind smile on his face, and said slowly: "Hello, Miss Lu, my surname is Xie, I am one of the managers of the Shuguang Base, and I am also Bi Jing's grandfather."

Hearing this, Lu Xinyi didn't know whether to be surprised that he was just one of the managers, or to be surprised that he was actually Bi Jing's grandfather.

"Hello, Mr. Xie." Lu Xinyi greeted him politely.

"Please take a seat." Mr. Xie pointed to the sofa next to him and asked her to sit down.

After she sat down, he told Bi Jing, "Go and make a cup of tea for Miss Lu."

Lu Xinyi wanted to refuse, but when she saw Bi Jing turned around and walked quickly to the kitchen, she had to swallow the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Elder Xie had been observing her calmly, and said in a calm tone, "During the last granary operation, I heard from Bi Jing that it was you who brought the people from your base to save our Dawn Base and another base called Rising Sun Base?"

"Since we are all participating in the operation, I naturally cannot stand by and watch them die."

Elder Xie nodded and said, "Anyway, the people from these two bases were rescued by your base. You helped a lot."

Lu Xinyi was no longer modest. Being too modest would make her seem fake.

Besides, it was their base that rescued the person, so she deserved Mr. Xie’s thanks.

While the two were talking, Bi Jing walked up to Lu Xinyi with a cup of tea and placed it in front of her.

"Captain Lu, have some tea." Bi Jing sat opposite her and said, "This tea is what my grandfather has always treasured. Even I rarely get to drink it. This tea was nothing in the past, but in today's world, this tea has become a gift we can show to our guests."

After the end of the world, many people can’t even get food to eat, let alone drink tea.

I was so hungry that I could even chew and swallow tea leaves.

Lu Xinyi picked up the teacup and took a sip. After savoring it carefully, she said, "Good tea. It tastes refreshing and has a long aftertaste. Thank you very much for your hospitality."

"If you like to drink, I'll ask Bi Jing to fill some for you later and you can take it back." Mr. Xie said with a smile.

Lu Xinyi quickly refused: "How can I do this? I appreciate Mr. Xie's kindness, but this tea is your treasured possession, how can I take it away from you?"

Besides, she had no shortage of good tea.

She just distributed a lot of good tea to everyone in the base today.

"Take it if it's given to you. You are Bi Jing's savior. This little bit of tea is a thank you gift to you. I hope Miss Lu won't despise it."

Lu Xinyi pulled the corner of his mouth, and finally couldn't help but said: "Mr. Xie, I don't lack tea, I have a lot of tea here."

As she spoke, she took out several cans of expensive tea, such as Biluochun, West Lake Longjing, and Huangshan Maofeng, all of which she collected when she raided supermarkets after the apocalypse.

She placed the cans of tea on the tea table in front of Mr. Xie and said, "Mr. Xie likes to drink tea, so these teas are for you."

Mr. Xie is not only Bi Jing's grandfather, but also the manager of the Shuguang Base, so she naturally wants to make friends with him.

However, Mr. Xie looked at her in surprise. He obviously didn't expect that she would buy several cans of expensive tea at once.

After the end of the world, even he no longer had the good tea to drink. He had to drink the little tea he had left sparingly, for fear that it would be gone one day.

"Really give it to me?" Mr. Xie asked in disbelief.

Lu Xinyi smiled and said, "I'll give it to you."

Mr. Xie immediately showed a happy smile and took the cans of tea into his arms. "Then I won't be polite."

This is a great treasure, he must treasure it well and not waste a single tea leaf!

Seeing his grandfather holding the tea leaves so preciously, Bi Jing smiled helplessly and explained to Lu Xinyi: "My grandfather has no other hobbies, he just likes drinking tea."

“Then it seems that I made the right choice in giving this gift.” Lu Xinyi chuckled.

After Mr. Xie put the tea leaves into his treasure chest, the topic returned to the main track.

"Captain Lu, I asked you to come here today, not only to invite you to our base to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, but also to discuss something with you." Bi Jing said.

Lu Xinyi raised an eyebrow, "I wonder what it is?"

"I said at the beginning that I hope to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with the Oasis Base. Now there is a task that I hope to complete with you."

"What mission?"

"Raid the hospital."

Lu Xinyi pursed her lips.

As early as the last time Qin Ju was injured, she had the idea of ​​raiding the hospital.

It’s just that places like hospitals are absolutely high-risk areas when a zombie virus breaks out.

The hospital already had a large flow of people, and after the virus outbreak, it became a den of zombies.

It is not easy to raid a hospital.

That's why she has put this plan on hold.

Now that the Dawn Base is planning to raid the hospital, she can go along to collect some medicines and equipment.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Bi Jing thought she was hesitating, so he continued, "Although the hospital is very dangerous and there are a lot of zombies, medicine is indispensable. We have a large population in our base, and although there are many people with special abilities, there are more ordinary people. People will get sick, so we decided to go to the hospital."

Lu Xinyi said nonchalantly: "If you just want to collect some common medicines, you can find them in the pharmacy. Why do you have to go to a hospital with so many zombies?"

By raiding a few pharmacies that are not as risky, you may be able to collect more medicines than what you can find in the hospital.

She wouldn't have wanted to go to the hospital if she wasn't looking for some medical equipment.

"Although medicines can be found in pharmacies, some medical equipment can only be found in hospitals." Bi Jing explained, "and..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Mr. Xie hesitantly. After seeing Mr. Xie nod slightly, he continued, "To be honest with you, Captain Lu, our mission this time is not only to go to the hospital to collect medicines and medical equipment, but more importantly, to find research equipment."

"Zone B of our base is the research area. There are many researchers there who are doing research day and night. However, due to limited equipment, the research progress is very slow."

"Doing research?" Lu Xinyi asked curiously, "What kind of research?"

"This..." Bi Jing hesitated and did not answer.

Lu Xinyi said tactfully, "Captain Bi, just pretend I didn't ask."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Elder Xie say, "He is studying the crystal core."

As he spoke, he looked up at Lu Xinyi, his slightly cloudy eyes revealing a hint of seriousness and expectation.

"Researchers have discovered that zombie crystal cores contain powerful energy. If a mutant can absorb this energy, it can enhance his or her strength."

"It's just that the equipment is limited. Although the researchers have tried to extract the energy in the crystal core, there has been no actual progress and most of them ended in failure. Although they have successfully extracted it several times, it was not pure enough and brought many sequelae."

Lu Xinyi understood.

This is to study the crystal core evolution fluid.
