The Scavengers

Countdown 44-43 hours

As soon as the three of Qiu Feng arrived, all the idlers withdrew, and the guards brought by Qiu Feng stood guard at the door of the activity room.

The activity room located on the first floor is large and versatile. It doubles as a meeting room and is also the favorite place for scavengers to gather.

Qiu Feng didn't talk too much nonsense, and just talked about the notice from the capital.

Including Lei Bing, it was the first time for everyone else to hear about this, but no one was surprised. Xiao Mo's ability is fine if it is not exposed, but once it is exposed, how can it not be coveted?

The members of the scavenging team thought more. Others thought that Xiao Mo's ability was in healing, but in fact Xiao Mo could not only heal people, he could also "heal" other non-human objects.

If the capital knew about Xiao Mo's true ability, I'm afraid they wouldn't even give him two days' spare time, and they might kill and rob people on the same day.

"Do you want to go to the capital?" Qiu Feng asked Xiao Mo seriously.

Xiao Mo slowly shook his head, "I live well here, my roots, my friends, and my family are all here. If there is a need in the capital, I can help, but if I stay in the capital, then It's free."

Qiu Feng also expected that Xiao Mo would say this, "You have a good idea, but things can't develop as you want. To be honest, I don't want you to go to the capital for public or private reasons. The mountain base is equivalent to adding a lot of lives to the people in our base, and no one would be willing to let a super dad like you leave."

Everyone laughed together.

Xiao Mo felt very helpless about this nickname called out by the soldiers.

"But!" Qiu Feng took out a cigarette and lit it, "It's both public and private, and I have to agree with you to go to the capital. I won't explain the reason, but I believe you all understand it."

To understand is to understand, but whether you can accept it is another matter.

"If my boss doesn't want to go to the capital, no one can force him." Xue Lihong said with an indifferent expression.

Qiu Feng sighed in his heart, he knew that Xiao Mo's going to the capital was easy for others to talk about, and Xue Lihong was the most difficult hurdle.Even if Xiao Mo himself does not object to going to the capital, if Xue Lihong says that he does not want Xiao Mo to go, then Xiao Mo can immediately change his mind.

Xiao Mo held down Xue Lihong's hand, "General Qiu, just now you said that the capital would be so eager for me to go because the Academy of Sciences and the House of Lords jointly decided to put pressure on the President to sign a special summons, Is it this way?"

"Yes."

"Then who is the person who exaggerated my ability and spread it to the capital?" Xiao Mo asked, actually already had the answer in his heart.

Qiu Feng replied: "Bao Yiyong."

Xue Lihong looked into Qiu Feng's eyes, and suddenly asked, "Do you have any thoughts about this person?"

Qiu Feng felt that the young man was too sharp, but since he came, he didn't want to hide it. If possible, he hoped that the scavengers team could cooperate. After all, the bodyguards brought by Bao Yiyong's abilities and levels were not weak.

"Bao Yiyong claims that human progress can be inhumane, and he is the kind of righteous man who is used to sacrificing a small part to make the most good. He is obviously bound to win Captain Xiao. With him in the capital, Captain Xiao can't wait. Be at ease." Qiu Feng didn't say it directly, but everyone present understood the meaning of what he said.

Xiao Mo was startled, he heard that Qiu Feng meant to attack Bao Yiyong?But no matter how flawless this matter is, if Bao Yiyong dies at the Zhongshan Base, Qiu Feng will not be able to escape the charge of negligence no matter what, and he may even offend Bao Yiyong's supporters behind him and become Qiu Feng. Political opponents attacked him for reasons.

Xiao Mo was very grateful for Qiu Feng's care, but it was fine if he didn't know about it. Knowing how could make Qiu Feng take such a big risk for him.

Just as Xiao Mo was about to speak, his hand was pressed back by Xue Lihong.

"I'll take care of Bao Yiyong. He doesn't deserve to die within our Zhongshan City."

Everyone present looked at Xue Lihong.

Qiu Feng pressed the cigarette butt, "You think too lightly of Bao Yiyong's status in the capital, he is now regarded as one of the highest scientific researchers who are hoped for by mankind, it is said that he is the one who established the transformation of alloy particles into energy conversion." The theoretical system and the space ability detector under research also have his contribution. He has harmed many people, but he has indeed done a lot of things, which is why the upper echelon can tolerate him. In the Zhongshan base, we also have It may be possible to get rid of him completely, but when he returns to the capital, it will not be easy for you to get close to him."

"Oh?" Xue Lihong lowered his eyelids, his long eyelashes formed two rows of fan-shaped shadows, he didn't emphasize his ability to Qiu Feng, because it was unnecessary.Just as Qiu Feng thought he took Bao Yiyong too lightly, Qiu Feng also didn't understand his true ability.

The young man raised his eyelids again and asked the man beside him, "Boss, are you going to the capital?"

Xiao Mo hesitated to answer this time, he didn't want to affect other members of the scavengers team because of his personal affairs, let alone bring trouble to Zhongshan Base.

Xue Lihong could see what he was thinking at a glance, and immediately sneered coldly, "Don't be stupid. You are the captain of the scavenging team. You can ask other people if the scavenging team still has meaning without you. Don't think You are causing trouble for others and the base. How many people have been saved by your ability? The squad and the base have enjoyed your ability, so they must provide you with protection. This means paying taxes to the people and being loyal to the country, and the country must protect its own The same as the people. If you are only used when you need it, and you are pushed out when you are in danger, then why do you stay in such a place?"

Xiao Mo was embarrassed, Xiaohong from his family was good at everything, as long as she didn't speak, she was very sharp when she spoke, and she wouldn't save any face whether it was with him or others.

Qiu Feng and the others touched their noses, everyone knew that Xue Lihong was not only talking to Xiao Mo, but also to them.

But what Xue Lihong said was very reasonable, why did Qiu Feng want to protect Xiao Mo?Isn't it because Xiao Mo paid too much in front?Although Xiao Mo's missions for saving people and scavengers were paid by the base, that reward was just a joke. If Xiao Mo really wanted to be serious with them, even paying him all the alloy particles in the base would not be enough!

Think about it, how much does it cost to buy a healthy heart before the catastrophe?What's more, it is the heart of the original owner's own genetic cultivation.

Then the liver, lungs, kidneys, spleen, intestines, brain, bones, limbs, skin, eyeballs... How much do they cost?

Seeing Xiao Mo's treatment of the wounded seemed very simple, but when he thought about it carefully, he not only directly cultivated the missing parts that were most suitable for the patients, but also successfully transplanted all of them without any hidden dangers or worries.How do these really count?

Leaving aside, let’s just say that Xiao Mo rescued [-] fighters and [-] elite mercenaries from the base almost single-handedly this time, how will this account be settled?

Xue Lihong was right, Xiao Mo didn't owe the base, but the base's people owed him a lot.

It was not enough for Xue Lihong to slap everyone in the face, and said sharply: "And don't think that if you go against your heart and go to the Zhongshan base in the capital, it is a good thing, sometimes what you get through humiliation is not all understanding and respect. It will lead to more greed and aggression."

For example, his relationship with Xiao Mo.It was he who invaded at the beginning, Xiao Mo retreated and tolerated, but he was not satisfied with it, wanting more, Xiao Mo retreated again and again until now his body and mind belonged to him.Well, it should belong to him, right?But before his boss seemed to look at his sister-in-law for two seconds?

Qiu Feng was startled, maybe there were too many things happened today, he didn't think about it for a while, but now after hearing Xue Lihong's words, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.That's right, the capital could ask him for Xiao Mo today, and he gave it.So tomorrow, the capital will ask him to give supplies, soldiers, and mercenaries in the name of righteousness. Will he give it or not?

Lei Bing also opened his mouth at this time, and this guy was very embarrassed when he opened his mouth, "I said, boss, the capital asked you to hand over Captain Xiao. You won't just agree to it for nothing, right? Food, ammunition, planes, The latest and highest scientific research achievements, don’t you want to get a dozen?”

Qiu Xin blinked, and stabbed at his father, "My father must not be so stupid. If the capital insists that we hand over Brother Xiao, then he will kill the capital to a bloody mess."

Blindfolded by patriotism, General Qiu, who wanted nothing, had blue veins popping out of his forehead: "..." These little bastards!

Xue Lihong snorted coldly, what do you mean, you want to trade my boss for supplies?Everyone is itchy, right?Then, this man said: "General Qiu, our boss knows that he has the holy father's disease again. Even if he wants to stay in Zhongshan in his heart, he will go to the capital. But our boss What makes people come here on call? Being our boss is easy to bully? I don’t care about your deal with Beijing, but if you want our boss to come over, we have to calculate the travel expenses, settling expenses and remote medical expenses, etc. Calculate."

Xiao Mo: ...Wait, didn't you just talk about solving Bao Yiyong?How did it get here?

When Qiu Feng talked with the gentlemen present, he deeply felt that his awareness was still too low. Sure enough, the management cannot be divorced from the masses. It is very important for officials to keep abreast of the needs of the masses.

As the top leader of the base, Qiu Feng was very self-effacing, and asked for advice on the spot: "I was thinking about it. That's right, Captain Xiao is so important to our base. If they want us to release people, how can the capital side not do anything?" Blood? Besides, how dangerous is the journey to the capital? The plane is flying in the sky, and it makes people feel uneasy to watch. The seventy-seven eighty-eight expenses really need to be calculated with the capital. What is your suggestion?"

As soon as Qiu Feng asked this question, heated discussions immediately started in the activity room.Everyone knew about Xiao Mo's trip to the capital. If he didn't want the base and the capital to tear themselves apart, no matter whether Xiao Mo would stay in the capital or not, he would have to go there anyway.Now that going to the capital has become an established fact, then Xiao Mo's appearance fee...cough, the treatment fee will naturally need to be discussed carefully. It can't weaken the prestige of our super dad, the scavenging team and the Zhongshan base, right?

Xiao Mo: ... Hey, Bao Yiyong's question?

Everyone discussed the exchange list so happily that they didn't even notice a strange little green wisteria cat sneaking into the house—well, everyone present noticed it, but Xiao Mo bent down and picked up the little wicker cat, Xue Lihong didn't stop her either, so no one asked any more questions.

Regarding Bao Yiyong's question, Xue Lihong and Qiu Feng reached an agreement independently after everyone drew up the exchange list requested by the capital.

Xiao Mo wanted to ask, but Xue Lihong gave him a look telling him not to worry about it.

Xiao Mo has an advantage, that is, if someone expresses that he doesn't want him to know something, he won't go out of his way to get to the bottom of it.

In the past, he did this because he didn't want to humiliate himself and test his importance in some people's hearts.Now he is doing this because he doesn't care, especially because he believes that his family Xiaohong will never harm him.

After all these matters were decided, Qiu Feng asked why they left with thick fog and the details afterwards.

Because it involved elemental life, Xiao Mo didn't say much, he put all the credit on Xiaotengmao.

"This is Little Green, a new creature with a certain degree of intelligence. It is more friendly to humans. It seems to have a good impression on Xiaohong and me. Because it helped out, it made the light spot and the people controlled by the light spot chase us, and the thick fog was driven by the light. The dots are born, the light moves, and the dense fog will follow. Little Green let us lead the dots to its birthplace, and now the dots are having fun there, but whether they stay there or not Will come back again, no one knows."

Play?happy?Both Qian Yunkai and Lei Bing, who were more sensitive, grasped these two words.

Everyone stared at Xiaotengmao.

The little rattan cat was lying in Xiao Mo's arms, with a harmless, weird and cute look.

Qiu Feng and Qian Yunkai could all hear Xiao Mo's vague words, and the process would certainly not be as simple as he said, but out of trust in Xiao Mo, everyone thought: Xiao Mo's unexplained words are naturally his own. I will definitely tell them the reason for the unspecified reason in the future.Sometimes concealment is also a form of protection.

"By the way, it's better for everyone not to go in when they see thick fog in the future, especially when I go to the capital. Don't even think about capturing the light spots inside. That is simply not something we can control at present...a miracle."

Qiu Feng was sniffing the cigarette, and raised his head when he heard the words: "So you plan to come back after going to the capital?"

Xiao Mo, "Of course. This is my home, my foundation, where else can I go if I don't come back here?"

Xue Lihong was even more straightforward: "According to your promise during the day, NO.11 Taibao Mountain already belongs to us, you don't want to renege on your debt, do you?"

Qiu Feng scolded with a smile: "As long as you can come back, don't talk about Eleven Taibao Mountains, just... hum! I almost fell for your kid's tricks. Eleven Taibao Mountains would be great. Remember to go to the capital and get back early."

Hearing Xiao Mo say that he just went to the capital for a round and then came back, Lei Bing and the scavengers all showed smiles—the significance of Xiao Mo to them, when they felt that they might lose this person, they felt more deeply.And they also believed in the abilities of those two people. If they insisted on coming back, unless the capital wanted to fight to the death, the two would definitely be able to come back.

Things have been decided, it's getting late, Qiu Feng doesn't want to delay the rest of Xiao Mo and the two of them - there are still many people waiting for Xiao Mo's treatment, and he is about to leave when he hears the guard outside knocking on the door and reporting: " Chief, Minister Bao sent someone to invite Captain Xiao to come over, it seems that he wants to ask him to treat someone."

Before Xiao Mo said anything, Qiu Feng and Xue Lihong were the first to lower their faces.

Qiu Feng: Who Bao Yiyong thinks he is, and no matter what happens to Xiao Mo after he comes back, he just wants to let him go there.It was him, Qiu Feng, as the highest chief of the base, and I came here in person.What's more, Bao Yiyong still asked for treatment!

Xue Lihong walked out of the door directly, and refused tactfully to the person who came to pass the message: "No. Our captain is injured, and his ability is seriously unstable. We need time to rest. If there is anything, we will talk about it after ten o'clock tomorrow. Also, we do not provide outpatient services for patients outside the Zhongshan base, and we will carry them here if necessary.”

The supernatural being who came to invite people frowned, "Please understand, the identity of the injured is very important, please Captain Xiao come anyway, the reward is easy to talk about."

Xueli blushed: "Didn't you understand what I said? The captain and I are going to sleep, and we will come back tomorrow morning if we have something to do."

The supernatural person really wants to swear: Is it more important for you to sleep, or to save people?

"Five thousand alloy particles."

"Ah."

"Ten thousand! This is..."

"roll."

The supernatural person changed his face, "Why do you talk like this! I came to invite your captain in such a good manner, what is your attitude? Where is your captain? I want to see him!"

Xue Lihong was also annoyed, "Can't you understand people's language? I have already said that our captain is tired and his powers are unstable, so we need to rest. What do you mean by letting our captain go over at this time? Could it be that you Just want to take advantage of his illness to kill him? I see, are you jealous that our Zhongshan base has healing abilities, so you want to kill him?"

The supernatural person opened his mouth wide and was completely shocked, "What nonsense are you talking about! Who said we wanted to kill Captain Xiao? I just came here to ask him to save people. Do you have persecution paranoia!"

Xue Lihong actually admitted, "That's right, when I saw you, I felt that you were trying to do harm."

Everyone in the room almost went crazy laughing, even Qiu Feng couldn't help shaking his head and scolding, the guards guarding the gate outside also couldn't help laughing.

The supernatural being was almost dizzy from anger, and he couldn't care about his demeanor anymore, so he was so angry that he scolded on the spot: "You better think about who can offend and who can't offend. I'm afraid your captain doesn't know yet. Well, your captain will go to the capital with our minister the day after tomorrow, don’t think it’s so great that he has the ability to heal, the capital will heal more than him, if he still wants to have a place in the capital in the future, then he’d better get acquainted!”

"I know you XX!" Xue Lihong kicked the supernatural being flying away.

The supernatural person didn't expect that Xue Lihong would dare to attack him at the gate of his house. He was kicked right in front of him. When he reacted, he couldn't bear it. Before he got up, he attacked Xue Lihong .

"Wind Blade?" Xue Lihong sneered, pushed the two guards by the door away, and shot out like a projectile.

"Shua!" The supernatural person's head flew high, and there was still anger and sternness on his face that wanted to teach the other party a lesson, which indicated that his head was cut off before he could react, so that he There was no time to change his expression.

the other end.

The person who wanted to ask Xiao Mo for treatment was Bao Yiyong himself.

Bao Yiyong felt that something was wrong with his body before the thick fog cleared. After returning, his physical condition began to deteriorate.

And he wasn't the only one who had problems. The researchers who went with him, except for the supernatural beings, were all in danger of having excess energy and their bodies would soon be unable to bear it.

Ah Ning is also a healer. If divided according to the current level of ability, she is still the highest known ability level of level four.

With Ah Ning around, Bao Yiyong's physical breakdown was somewhat delayed, but other researchers did not have this benefit, because once Ah Ning left Bao Yiyong, his physical condition would become uncontrollable.

Yes, Ah Ning's ability can only keep Bao Yiyong in the status quo temporarily, but it cannot solve the fundamental problem for him.

From two o'clock in the afternoon, ordinary researchers continued to explode because they couldn't bear the energy in their bodies.These researchers originally came to study other people's explosive flesh and blood, but now they have become one of the experimental subjects, and they are still not very useful.Although no one actually said it, everyone who followed Bao Yiyong and knew his purpose would more or less wonder if this is karma?

Bao Yiyong complained to Brooke that the protective clothing they provided was not in place.

But Brooke said eloquently: "Our protective clothing is based on research on the energy and destructive power of the dense fog that we have collected, but we have never encountered the purple light spots we encountered before, just like we did not before. Knowing that the light spots have the ability to disperse and enter the human body to manipulate others. Maybe the purple light spots themselves contain ingredients that can break through the protective clothing materials, which is unpredictable. And our protective clothing is not It’s not completely ineffective. If the protective clothing is completely ineffective, ordinary people will explode within a few minutes after entering the dense fog. You see, people with supernatural powers will be fine wearing our protective clothing, which means that our protective clothing is very effective in preventing And filtering energy is still effective."

stranger!Bao Yiyong felt great hatred in his heart, why are neither he nor Xiaozhi a supernatural being?Why can so much social garbage and human scum become supernatural beings, but these high-level people who have made so many contributions to the country secrete alloy particles at most?

Secret alloy particles!Bao Yiyong looked at his right palm with ridicule in his eyes.Only people like them who study conversion energy know that people who can secrete alloy particles are actually no different from raising pigs in the past. However, in the past, everyone raised pigs to eat pork, but now people who can secrete alloy particles are raised for the purpose of raising pigs. This new type of energy they produced.

"Where is Xiao Mo? Has he not come back yet?" Bao Yiyong stood by the laboratory table, watched the computer analyze his blood, and asked the bodyguard not far away.

Ah Ning stood side by side with him, holding his wrist all the time.

"It is said that he has returned, and he has been sent to the place where their team is stationed to invite him."

"Yeah." Bao Yiyong looked at the data and frowned, "How long have our people gone? Find someone to urge them to hurry up. If Xiao Mo takes Joe, you send someone to find Qiu Feng, just say I said Yes, letting Xiao Mo come over is an order from the Academy of Sciences."

He needs healers, but he doesn't want to rely on supernatural beings, let alone be influenced and counter-controlled by them.No matter how valuable Xiao Mo's ability is, in front of the country, he is only one person, and he will teach Xiao Mo a lesson today.

"Yes." The bodyguard ordered to leave.

Ah Ning's eyes drooped, and she yawned lazily. She disagreed with Bao Yiyong's mentality and manipulation methods towards supernatural beings, but she didn't intend to talk too much.Only those who are close to Bao Yiyong's energy know how terrifying it is.
