Chapter 847: After The Meeting
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Noticing Xiao Yunlong’s hesitation, Lin Feng thought for a moment, then decisively chose to take another step back. “Of course, if you aren’t willing to accept our offer, it’ll be fine,” he said, “We will take our time to achieve an agreement. Feel free to list your terms. We won’t say no, as long as we find them reasonable.”
Lin Feng sounded humble, but his words also contained some other meanings. Sea City Base would be considered unfriendly if they rejected All Beings Base’s offer. After all, All Beings Base was only a small base, and they had made two steps backward already.
If that were the case, the relations.h.i.+p between Sea City Base and All Being Base would not stay so good.
“Your offer is attractive. I think we can accept it. But, we still need to talk to the other two leaders of our base to make the final decision.” Meng Yue, who had been quietly listening, abruptly joined the conversation. She was afraid that Xiao Yunlong might say yes thoughtlessly. If he did, there would be no more s.p.a.ce for a better deal.
Lin Feng gave her a glance, then nodded and turned back to Xiao Yunlong as he said, “Miss Meng is right. It’s alright. We’re in no rush.”
Xiao Yunlong glanced at Meng Yue with a warm look in his eyes. After that, he nodded at Lin Feng and said, “We will bring your words back to our other two leaders.”
Lin Wenwen quickly scanned Xiao Yunlong and Meng Yue with her eyes while recording the last part of the meeting. After finis.h.i.+ng, she closed her notebooks loudly.
It seemed that the meeting was over.
“Oh, there’s one other thing! I wonder if you have known about it or not.” As the meeting was over, the atmosphere became less intense. Something came across Xiao Yunlong’s mind, so he talked to Lin Feng again.
“What?” Lin Feng looked at him and asked.
“Recently, we heard that a rat nest in Fuyang District has exploded. A huge group of rats came out of that area, and they’re destructive. I think you might need to make some preparations,” said Xiao Yunlong.
“Rats?” Lin Feng paused with surprise, then frowned slightly. That could not be happy news.
“How many?” He looked at Xiao Yunlong and asked.
“All mutated rats, huge. We don’t have a specific number yet. According to the last message we received, what people had seen was only a corner of an iceberg. The nest is in the animal park. A couple of days ago, they killed a thirty-men hunting team from our base. You can send someone there to take a look. It has been days. We don’t know what that place has turned into,” Xiao Yunlong wore a serious face.
That area would no longer stay under Sea City Base’s management. However, if All Beings Base failed to take precautions and let an accident happen, Sea City Base would be in trouble as well. After all, those two bases had been in tight cooperation up till now.
“It sounds serious. We’ll do something about it,” Lin Feng nodded and then thanked him, “Thank you very much for letting us know. Is that information for free?”
Xiao Yunlong laughed, “Ah, if you can’t stop those rats, we’d suffer a bad consequence too, right?”
“That’s right,” Lin Feng nodded again.
The conversation soon ended, and they both left.
While walking, Lin Wenwen turned to give a glance to Kong Qingming, who was following behind her. “Pretty boy, you should go that way.”
She pointed at Xiao Yunlong, Meng Yue, and the guards behind them.
Kong Qingming smiled faintly and responded, “The work is done. I don’t need to follow behind those two and be like a gooseberry.”
“Why are you following us then?” After coming out of the conference room, Long Qingying stopped concealing the unhappiness on her face. She glared at Kong Qingming sourly and asked him.
“I’m going to see my buddy. This is the way I go, isn’t it? If you don’t like me following you, can you please tell me if there’s another way leading to the agriculture department?” Kong Qingming’s pretty face wore an innocent look.
That beautiful face and puppy eyes of his could soften anyone’s heart. That was what Lin Wenwen felt. However…
She turned to look at Long Qingying and found the latter seeming even more impatient than before.
‘How on earth are these two going to end up together?’ she wondered.
Earlier today, Lin Wenwen had an image flash across her mind when she saw Kong Qingming. It was at night, and the light was dim. Kong Qingming was leaning against the guardrail of a balcony. The one who was pressing him on the guardrail was no one else but Long Qingying. Their faces were melting together in the image. Lin Wenwen figured that they should be kissing at that time.
Lin Wenwen was curious why her cold-hearted best friend would press that beautiful man down and kiss him. Moreover, the man seemed to be enjoying that kiss!
Lin Wenwen couldn’t stay calm after she saw that image in her head. She secretly observed those two, as she was so, so curious about what was going to happen between them. What would they go through to get to the part that she saw?
Long Qingying had no idea why her best friend was staring at her with a thousand puzzles. She felt annoyed when she heard Kong Qingming’s words, but didn’t know how to respond.
The agriculture department was in that way indeed. What else could she say?
Lin Feng went to Lin Qiao to talk to her about the rat problem, but she started the conversation before he could. “Xie Dong said that the rats had covered a large range. They have eaten up the entire animal park. Nothing was left behind. That whole area has become a barren land. There’re more than tens of millions of rats…”
“What? More than that?” Picturing hundreds of acres thickly covered in black rats, Lin Feng had his scalp go numb.
That was a terrifying number!
“You stay out this now. I’ll send Qiu Lili, Yun Meng, and a team. But, you should make some preparations as well. If the girls fall back, superpowered humans will be up,” said Lin Qiao.
A lot of superpowered people were living in All Being Base, and it was about the time for them to fight.
“Alright, I get it!” Lin Feng nodded. He knew that Qiu Lili, Yun Meng, and their team would be the spearhead of the base.
“How’s the negotiation? Did they accept our offer?” Lin Qiao asked.
“I don’t know,” said Lin Feng, “Let’s see if Wu Chengyue will say yes or not. Xiao Yunlong seems to be fine with it.”
Lin Qiao nodded, then said with a faint smile, “Good. Let them take all the time they need. That hunting field will become a desert sooner or later. By then, they’ll know that the resources we created are much more valuable than those wastes.”
Wu Chengyue had no idea how thriving the farm in All Beings Base was. With the lake in Lin Qiao’s s.p.a.ce, All Beings Base would certainly become a base rich in natural resources.
