Chapter 102，Part 2: Save the apocalypse (8.2)

After he finished speaking, he beckoned for Mao Gan Cao to come over. Xiao Mao obediently took a few steps forward and asked curiously: “Dage, what is it?”

Ren Zhu said: “In a moment, go look for your Senior Shi and see how they’re going. If they can’t find a good place to stay, then we can help them a bit. Also, go see how Fatty Jin’s family, Liu Ming Qing and the others are doing. After all, we all came here together and can be considered friends.”

Mao Gan Cao earnestly nodded: “Dage, don’t worry! I will definitely ask them about their situation. If worst comes to worst, we can simply set up a small squad ourselves. Since everyone is familiar with each other, we can be more at ease if we’re together.”

Ren Zhu didn’t expression his opinion: “You two should cook two packets of instant noodles for dinner. Don’t wait for us.”

It was already past nine o’clock in the evening. He believed that since those people invited them for tea, there should also be refreshments and such. If they were smart, they should at least prepare a bowl of red braised pork for each person.

Then, sitting in the large conference hall, Ren Zhu really saw a bowl full of red braised pork and stir-fried vegetables in front of him.

Ren Zhu: “……” Does that man in a suit have a mind-reading ability?

Yi Xiao: “……” I don’t like to eat meat. I’m not interested in self indulgence and have few desires. I only like to kill zombies and look at my partner.

“Haha, you two don’t need to be nervous. You must be worn out coming all the way to our Yuan City base. In any case, we should also treat you well. It’s not easy to prepare other foods, but we can still bring out a bowl of red braised pork.” The old white-bearded man sitting across from them said with a smile. Standing next to him was that man wearing a black suit, looking like he was putting on airs.

Ren Zhu also didn’t feel that there was anything to fear. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating while saying: “If you have anything to say, just say it directly. I happen to have some of my own ideas, so I hope that we can agree and cooperate with each other.”

This was setting the two of them to be on the same level as the higher ups of the entire Yuan City base, but the five people who looked very imposing sitting opposite them only felt more reassured by Ren Zhu’s attitude. This was the arrogance that a capable person should have, right? Also, although he was a little arrogant, his tone of speech didn’t make people feel offended at all, which was already very good. In the very beginning, God knew how many people relied on their identity as an ability user to act undisciplined and cause trouble. They simply didn’t put anyone in their eyes. In the end, the higher ups of Yuan City base specially formed a large group of very powerful ability users and finally suppressed those guys. However, there would still be a lot of people looking for trouble from time to time.

The old white-bearded man smiled and said: “I like people who are straightforward. Since you asked, then I will directly express my thoughts on behalf of Yuan City base.”

“The strength of you two is really extraordinarily, especially this Mr Yi. Your speed and strength have already broken through the limits of mankind! However, there are now a lot of things that are beyond the imagination of human beings. The entire Earth has begun to change. If we can’t adapt to such changes, or we alter this kind of change, then we would simply be waiting on the road to death. There won’t be any other option.”

“So in order to survive, I hope that the two of you can join the ability team of our Yuan City base. This ability team only belongs to the five people of the highest level in the base, that is us five old fellows. We are thinking whether we can find the final thread of life in this hell-like world, so that the whole world can get back on track. At least, we should let the people have the hope of survival. Frankly speaking, don’t look at how the current atmosphere in the base seems pretty good. Excluding the four major bases, the country’s small and medium-sized bases have been hit hard, and the situation is very bad.”

The old white-bearded man sighed: “Thus, we need the top talents of all fields and areas. After gathering these people, only then can we look for the thread of life and save the world.”

Ren Zhu thought about his mission. His mission was to save the saviour. It was quite hard for him to find the target, but those top talents were more likely to become saviours, right?

“I think your idea is very good and I support it. However, I also have a few questions I would like to ask, so as to avoid disappointing each other in the end.”

The kind looking middle-aged uncle sitting beside the old white-bearded man smiled: “Young lad, if you have any questions, just ask. We will naturally answer them.”

Ren Zhu nodded: “Since you are looking for top talents in all field, then I believe that you should be very honest with these talents. You won’t have any malicious intentions, right? To be honest, even if you make us go on a suicide mission, so long as the mission is worth me doing, or so long as you can persuade me, then in the face of certain death, I would still resolutely participate in the mission. However, I don’t accept any kind of malicious concealment or deception. If so, we won’t be able to sincerely and openly cooperate.”

“Of course, we definitely won’t conceal any mission contents.”

“Then I will express my opinion on some other matters. Please don’t think little of my opinions just because of my humble position. Also, my friend’s temper may be more violent than mine. Please don’t force us to do any experiments or inspections.”

“Even if we do all kinds of inspections, we will ask for your permission. There absolutely won’t be a secret experimental base like the ones written in those ridiculous novels. Mankind is now facing a crisis! We shouldn’t foolishly fight each other.”

Ren Zhu once again nodded and said his final request: “Lastly, I want to know what the situation of the Earth is right now. In other words, I want to know the extent of research that scientists and virologists have conducted regarding the virus that turned Earth into hell. I want to know all future research results. Of course, my friend and I will also contribute to this.”

Ren Zhu’s last request was beyond the expectations of everyone present. It should be known that previously, no matter what kind of ability user they met before, most of the ability users would make the first two requests that Ren Zhu made and also make demands on their treatment and salary. They might inquire a bit on the situation of the virus and scientific research, but this was the first time that someone had wanted to know the results of the virus research in such detail. However, because of this last request, the five big shots all felt more goodwill towards Ren Zhu and Yi Xiao. At least, a person who could ask this kind of question should also be someone who cherished the world and other people.

For this kind of person, there would be more righteousness and virtue in their heart.

So, that old white-bearded man smiled: “What a coincidence. We’re going to take a look at how Old Du and the others’ research are going. Young lad, if you’ve eaten enough and aren’t afraid of staying up late, how about coming with us to look around our underground laboratory?”

Ren Zhu was taken aback for a moment. He really didn’t expect that these people would actually trust him in such a short period of time and also take him to visit the laboratory. However……

“Then, thank you. I want to take a look.”

He wanted to see what the virus was like and had what kind of characteristics. He also wanted to see if there were any special people in the laboratory who would fit the description of a saviour. Plus, he wanted to see if his partner could deal with that terrible virus with his bare hands. After all, compared with the zombies brought about by the meteorite, a flying undead mentioned in folklore should be more powerful, right? What if his golden thigh was useful? Wouldn’t this hell mode become simple?
