Doomsday group favorite: I will win with my three brothers

Chapter 253 253 When we meet, we will fool each other

Zhao Lexi patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, my older brother and Brother Gao have made all the arrangements. Just come with me, and we'll definitely be able to go home safely."

An hour passed quickly, and the convoy encountered the first checkpoint at the capital base. The guards were probably former soldiers. They cautiously inquired with their superiors before opening the gate.

Then came the second and third checkpoints, a total of five checkpoints before finally reaching the gates of the capital base.

Unlike the square walls of the Beicang base, the walls of the Capital base were built in the shape of an octopus.

The innermost circle is the human settlement, covering an area of ​​approximately forty square kilometers, home to over two million survivors. Extending outwards from the circle in eight directions are eight legs, each about ten meters wide and a kilometer long. These eight legs are enclosed by walls, though not as high as the outer walls of the circle. In case of danger, these areas are abandoned first, luring the zombie horde into the center of the eight legs for concentrated elimination.

At this moment, when there is no danger, the eight plots of land are filled with countless survivors who cannot enter the city, and can be considered to be in a relatively orderly manner.

The two plots of land, one to the south and one to the north, were used to house the survivors who had just arrived at the base. Fully armed guards moved through the ranks to prevent any sudden changes in their behavior.

The group entered the base.

On the way, Gao Jue gave Zhao Lexi a general introduction to the base.

Half of the base's leadership group are still from the former national leadership group, totaling five people. The person who invited Liu Wanli and Professor Yuan to participate in the event was Li Jun, the deputy base director in charge of scientific research, who was promoted after the apocalypse. Li Jun and Professor Wang were classmates, so even though they had never met Professor Yuan, they were familiar with each other.

Professor Yuan originally intended to invite Professor Wang to the Beicang base, but Professor Wang declined because of Li Jun, so Professor Yuan gave up. Unexpectedly, Li Jun turned around and directly invited Base Director Liu and Professor Wang, with a tough attitude that did not allow for refusal.

Since it wasn't Liu Wanli who came, the only people who greeted him this time were Li Jun's secretary Zhang Ding and Professor Wang.

Following behind was Yan Boyu, the uncle of the Zhao siblings.

This kind of setup can hardly be described as taking it seriously.

On the surface, Zhao Shiyun's identity is merely that of Liu Wanli's handpicked successor. He has not yet inherited the position of Beicang Base Chief, so it is understandable that the deputy base chief's secretary would greet him. In reality, the various survivor bases do not obey the orders of the capital base. His future status is parallel to that of the capital base chief. Although the bases differ in size, at least a deputy base chief should come to greet him.

This was Li Jun's way of showing him the power.

This also reflects the attitude of the capital base: if Zhao Shiyun is not obedient enough, the successor of this Beicang base can be changed at any time.

Zhao Shiyun didn't take it seriously, only instructing Zhao Lexi to stay with Professor Yuan for close protection. As for Chengfeng, he stayed by Zhao Shiyun's side to relay messages at any time.

Gao Jue followed Zhao Shiyun.

So, after entering the base, the group split into two teams. Zhao Shiyun, Gao Jue, and Yang Haoran led a portion of the city defense troops to participate in an exchange of experiences on resisting the zombie siege, while Professor Yuan, Zhao Lexi, and Li Qiong led the remaining city defense troops to participate in an academic exchange.

Meanwhile, on the way to the lab, Professor Wang kept talking about his research findings, and Professor Yuan listened attentively, but his expression became increasingly puzzled.

Professor Wang sensed something was wrong: "Old Yuan, what's with your reaction! I've shared everything I have under my belt with you, and you haven't said a word, and you're making that face? Who do you think you are!"

"I look down on whoever speaks!" Professor Yuan was not polite at all. "I gave you the formula for the drug for free, and after a whole winter, this is all you've come up with? Has your brain thawed yet?" Professor Wang retorted, "Why not? I've developed the second generation of the evolution drug. After taking it, evolved humans gain twice the energy of the first generation. This is a giant leap forward in human evolutionary history! Why do you look down on my research results?"

"Then tell me, what are the raw materials for making the second-generation evolution potion? Are they as readily available as zombie energy crystals?"

"Old man, you're trying to mess with me? Hmph, do you think I don't know what you're up to! You just want to know what the raw materials are!"

Professor Wang whispered, "If you promise me you'll stay, I'll tell you! I guarantee that the raw materials have been cultivated on a large scale, and we have as much as you need!"

Professor Yuan, his thoughts exposed, didn't even flinch and shouted, "What's so good about staying!"

Professor Wang dropped the pretense and immediately started excitedly counting on his fingers: "The capital base is, after all, the former capital, with many survivors and a large military force, so safety is guaranteed; the experimental equipment here is well-preserved, both domestic and foreign, we have everything; and as for experimental subjects, we have a breeding farm, with all kinds of evolved beasts; and so on..."

Professor Yuan listened indifferently, without expressing any opinion.

During the conversation, the group entered the laboratory. Looking at the room full of experimental equipment, Li Qiong held her breath, her eyes wide with amazement, as if she were looking at a room full of handsome men.

Zhao Lexi couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, but she could tell that the scale of the equipment here seemed to be similar to that of Shian Company. However, under Gao Jue's command, she smashed a lot of it, which became a dark history for "Pajama Hero".

Professor Wang stopped speaking and let Professor Yuan see for himself.

At this moment, he noticed Zhao Lexi and asked Li Qiong, "Little Li, who is this little girl? Is she Old Yuan's new apprentice? She looks really clever; she must be doing very well in her studies."

Zhao Lexi looked over with bright eyes: Let's not talk about studying, we can chat a bit more.

On the way here, everyone had already discussed Zhao Lexi's identity. Li Qiong explained with a smile, "Lexi is not Master's apprentice, but my apprentice and Zhao Shiyun's younger sister. She came with us this time instead of her brother because she wanted to learn from us."

"Oh, oh!" Professor Wang seemed to understand, "It's a favored relative." But he still reached into his pocket, pulled out a green date, and handed it over: "Little girl, here, consider this a gift for your grandmaster."

Green dates contain flowing energy, making them a suitable gift for greetings.

"Thank you, Grandmaster Uncle." Zhao Lexi took it and stuffed it into her pocket.

At this moment, Professor Yuan returned after walking around the laboratory.

The head of this laboratory is Professor Wang. The staff in the laboratory treat this professor, who is on par with their leader and has developed the evolution potion, with great respect and automatically make way for Professor Yuan to pass freely.

"Excellent, excellent!" Professor Yuan praised repeatedly.

Professor Wang said smugly, "I told you! The conditions there are too poor. My place is much better, with the best laboratory before the disaster! As long as you come, I guarantee you will have the highest level of access to this laboratory."

"So, who has the higher authority between us?"
