Doomsday group favorite: I will win with my three brothers

Chapter 256 Female Deputy Base Commander

Professor Wang wanted to take Professor Yuan out to dinner, but was glared at and, realizing he was in the wrong, didn't dare to say anything.

Zhao Lexi looked up and said to Li Qiong with a wronged expression, "I'm hungry."

Professor Yuan glared at the crew-cut man: "Did you hear that! We were invited by you, and guests are guests. How can we let our guests go hungry!"

Professor Wang looked aggrieved: I was just about to take you to dinner, but you refused to go.

The crew-cut man looked away from Zhao Lexi and ordered his men to fetch lunch, showing no intention of letting them leave. Professor Yuan muttered, "Making oxen work without feeding them grass, and even when they do eat grass, it's not fresh. Who wants to stay?"

Zhao Lexi winked at him secretly, and Professor Yuan made a face back at her.

The lunch they brought was very plentiful, with meat, vegetables, and eggs. The four of them devoured it all, while Zhao Lexi only ate about half full.

After the meal, someone brought over a plate of green dates, but everyone was too full to touch them. Zhao Lexi grabbed a few more and stuffed them into her pocket.

Seeing this, the crew-cut man said gently, "Professor Yuan, you've had a long morning, why don't you rest for a while?"

Professor Yuan said coldly, "No need. Aren't we not allowed to leave? I'll familiarize myself with the environment first." He winked at Zhao Lexi, and Zhao Lexi followed him around the laboratory.

Professor Wang tried to follow, but Professor Yuan glared at him and said, "Don't follow me. I don't want to see you, you traitor, Wang Hansan!"

Professor Wang felt wronged, so he simply sat down and ignored him.

Professor Yuan led Zhao Lexi, slowly circling the laboratory. The two, old and young, were in perfect harmony. With just a glance from Professor Yuan, Zhao Lexi would wave her sleeve, and the amount of reagents they passed would decrease slightly, so that no one could tell the difference.

The lost reagent ended up in an empty bottle in Zhao Lexi's space.

"Master, what are all these things?" General Black Moon's voice came from within his mind. "Are they edible?"

"Eat, eat, eat! I'll eat you to death!" Chengfeng replied.

How is my brother doing?

“We were taken to a small room with about twenty people inside. The big brother went up on stage to speak, and after he finished, a chubby guy came over, shook hands with the big brother, and left. Then we ate, which was really awful! Then the chubby guy came back, and the two of them gave speeches. I got bored and fell asleep... I just woke up now.”

Zhao Lexi: This is such a rambling account...

"Oh, they also brought a lot of fruit, but that guy surnamed Gao wouldn't let me eat any. I secretly hid several in my spatial storage. Master, would you like some?"

Zhao Lexi saw that they were a few green dates.

"Leave it there, don't eat it yet. Listen to your elder brother and Gao Jue when something happens."

“I know, Master.”

A moment later, the crew-cut man came over, smiling kindly, and handed over a lollipop: "Little friend, this is an apology for you. I'm sorry about earlier, but don't worry, I'll teach that uncle who snatched your things a lesson later, and I promise he'll never dare to do it again. Okay?"

Zhao Lexi's eyes darted around, she took the lollipop, carefully put it in her pocket, but didn't say whether she forgave or not.

The crew-cut man didn't hesitate and continued, "You're very capable. I hope you can grow stronger so we can fight side by side in the future."

These words made Zhao Lexi look at him again: "Uncle, what's your name?"

The man just smiled; his eyes weren't big, and they narrowed when he smiled, making him look harmless. "Haha, you can just call me Uncle Yang." He glanced at his watch and pushed the fruit plate towards Professor Wang. "Your brother's party is over by now; you can leave."

"Okay!" Zhao Lexi pulled Professor Yuan and Li Qiong to leave.

"Professor Yuan can't leave, but you can!" The crew-cut man blocked Professor Yuan's path, pointing at Zhao Lexi and Li Qiong.

"Impossible! We came together, we must leave together!" Zhao Lexi held Professor Yuan and Li Qiong's hands tightly and walked straight towards the door. At the same time, she contacted General Heiyue to ask about her elder brother Zhao Shiyun's situation. "That person saw us out, he must be preparing to leave. I heard my brother mention your name, hasn't anyone come looking for you?"

"Yes. But they won't let Professor Yuan leave, only Sister Qiong and I can leave. Show Brother Gao the front of the claw. See if he nods or shakes his head."

“Shake your head.”

"Understand!"

Zhao Lexi stopped and pulled the two of them to sit down. "If you won't let Professor Yuan leave, then we won't leave either! I'll wait for my brother to pick me up."

Chengfeng meowed and jumped in front of the three, watching the crew-cut man warily.

The man was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled: "Your brother is almost at the base entrance. If you don't leave soon, he won't wait for you."

Zhao Lexi rolled her eyes: "My older brother would never abandon me."

Time passed by, and Professor Wang realized that Professor Yuan genuinely did not want to stay, so he stopped trying to persuade him and instead started discussing his recent research findings with him. Professor Yuan became interested, and the two began a heated discussion, while Li Qiong listened intently from the side.

Zhao Lexi was bored and looked at the green dates on the table.

Noticing her gaze, the crew-cut man spoke up: "Don't you like the lollipop I gave you?"

Zhao Lexi nodded: "I like it."

To show that she really liked it, she opened the packaging and put the candy in her mouth.

Fifteen minutes passed.

General Black Moon's voice echoed in Zhao Lexi's mind: "We are at the base entrance now, and we haven't gone out yet. Big Brother is talking to the people at the base, and he keeps mentioning your name. I guess he's asking about your whereabouts."

"Is Brother Gao still shaking his head?"

"Ah."

"Ok."

"Oh no, they've come in large numbers, and they even brought an armored vehicle. They're planning to push us out the door," General Black Moon sneered. "They really underestimate me, Old Black."

At that moment, the man with the crew cut walked over and said, "You should go now."

After saying that, he reached out and grabbed Li Qiong.

It pounced swiftly, its claws aimed at the back of the crew-cut man's hand.

The man twisted his wrist, precisely gripping Chengfeng's nape: "I don't want to hurt you. Leave quickly; it'll be good for everyone. Professor Yuan will definitely..."

"I heard that Professor Yuan, the inventor of the evolution potion, is exchanging academic ideas here. I've long admired your reputation, so I've come to learn from you." A clear female voice rang out from outside the door.

Before the words were finished, a tall, middle-aged woman with short, slightly curly hair strode into the room.

Professor Wang felt a chill run down his spine. Why was another high-ranking leader here? It wasn't on the academic exchange agenda for today, and no one had told him about it. But he still dutifully introduced her in a low voice: "Her name is Zhang Ying. She is the deputy base director in charge of education, medical care, and survivor resettlement."

Zhao Lexi understood; this meant that she was being dumped with all the thankless, low-paying jobs.

When the female deputy base commander saw Professor Yuan, she immediately bowed and extended her hand, showing him full respect.

Professor Yuan stood up and shook hands with her.

After exchanging a few polite words, Professor Yuan smiled and said, "Chief Zhang, you've come at just the right time. If it had been any later, I would have already left. Why don't we walk and talk?"
