Chapter 277: Tangled
Two days passed quickly, because Mr. Zhao needed to recover before he could use the machine equipment for treatment. Hong Lei was relatively free these two days. When Mr. Zhao was resting, he would follow Song Wenli out of the hospital and go to other places in the base. When two young men and women who liked each other were together, they always felt that time passed quickly. After watching a movie, they returned to the hospital together.
Opening the door of the ward, Hong Lei saw Tang Ming and the other man looking at him seriously, which made him feel nervous. He thought that something was wrong with Mr. Zhao, so he ran into the inner room quickly. However, he saw that Mr. Zhao was sleeping soundly on the bed, and saw that the two medical staff looked at him with a puzzled look, so he waved his hand to indicate that everything was fine.
Coming out of the inner room, Hong Lei sat opposite Tang Ming and the others. He asked in a low voice, "Your expressions tell me that you must have something to ask me, right?"
"I have something to ask you, sorry to waste your time, Doctor Hong." Tang Ming had nothing to be embarrassed about. In addition to escorting patients, he and Hou Zhitao also had another task, which was to monitor medical staff to prevent them from saying anything inappropriate to people related to the Yuanxin Base. His face looked very calm. "You should have been shopping in the Yuanxin Base with Minister Song Wenli these two days?"
"Yes, that's right." Hong Lei nodded, and then he said, "The other party just took me to visit the Yuanxin Base. She is equivalent to my tour guide. This should not violate any discipline, right?" ❅✦
"No, that's not what I meant. I want to ask you, did Song Wenli ask you for information about the patients, especially Mr. Zhao?" Tang Ming stared at Hong Lei's expression closely. Would the official not know that Mr. Zhao was very important? How could they not know? But since the authorities sent Mr. Zhao to Yuanxin Base for treatment, it was not only because only Yuanxin Base could cure Mr. Zhao, but also because the authorities had another idea, which was to use Mr. Zhao as a bargaining chip. The people above had communicated with Mr. Zhao first. Yuanxin Base now exposed many black technology products that were beyond the times in front of the authorities, and the authorities wanted to get them very much. However, the bargaining chips in the hands of the authorities, except for those brain cores and the like, were nothing to show. This time, sending Mr. Zhao to Yuanxin Base was an attempt by the authorities to exchange talents with Yuanxin Base.
Mr. Zhao was a famous biologist in Xia Country and a national treasure of the authorities. This time, he was used to test Gu Ming because the authorities found that the external environment was not as simple as the Ice Age, and the evolution speed of those mutant beasts and zombies far exceeded the estimated time of human scientists. If humans cannot speed up the development time and speed up the technology, then humans will be eliminated sooner or later.
Hong Lei's heart skipped a beat. Song Wenli actually asked him some basic information about Mr. Zhao. However, that information was not confidential and could be searched on Baidu before the end of the world. So he said, "She asked some basic information about Mr. Zhao. This information was made public before the end of the world. In fact, I didn't tell her what I couldn't tell her."
"Well, we know. Thank you for your cooperation. We'll leave first." Knowing the answer they wanted, Tang Ming and Hou Wentao said goodbye to him. They left Mr. Zhao's ward first. They left the hospital directly and returned to the room arranged for them by Yuanxin Base.
The two entered Tang Ming's room, which was a simple suite with a living room and a bedroom. After Tang Ming asked Hou Wentao to sit down, he took out a black box, turned on a switch, and put it on the coffee table. Seeing the green light on the box, he breathed a sigh of relief. This black box is a high-tech product developed by the government after the apocalypse. It can block all signals sent outward and can also block the sound within the magnetic field of the box. For those in the army, this box is still very useful before the apocalypse, but now they will bring this box when they come to Yuanxin Base.
"Brother, it seems that Gu Ming is still very interested in Mr. Zhao. Should we test him?" Hou Wentao privately called Tang Ming directly "brother". Of course, it is not an exaggeration to say that their friendship is a life-and-death friendship.
"No, if the other party really wants to get Mr. Zhao, he will take the initiative to tell us. Mr. Zhao's family has already arrived at the Shashi base. It depends on what Gu Ming will do." Tang Ming shook his head and rejected Hou Wentao's suggestion. After all, if he took the initiative, it would appear to be more passive. They had received instructions from above before coming to Yuanxin Base. As long as Gu Ming proposed to get Mr. Zhao to join, the official also agreed, but Yuanxin Base needed to pay a little price. After all, Mr. Zhao is a national treasure-level scientist. This is not a joke. Mr. Zhao's value is not low. In two words, that is-very expensive.
"Then should we send someone to follow Dr. Hong?" Hou Wentao was a little worried about Hong Lei. He always felt that the other party's heart should not be on the official side. He and Song Wenli looked like a boyfriend and girlfriend dating these two days.
Tang Ming knew what Hou Wentao meant. He smiled and said, "No, we have to believe in Dr. Hong. His character is still trustworthy. We don't need to do anything unnecessary. Of course, if Dr. Hong wants to join Yuanxin Base, he will take the initiative to tell us. I still believe in Dr. Hong."
"Yeah." Hou Wentao nodded to show that he knew. In the past, when the two of them went on missions, Tang Ming was the main person, and this time was no exception. Since Tang Ming said so, Hou Wentao would definitely not do anything unnecessary.
"Bang——"
A punch hit Chu Heng's body, causing his body to fly back more than ten meters. Gu Ming turned around and put his hands across his chest. Sure enough, a force like the impact of a train came from his hands, and his body involuntarily slid back more than ten meters on the ground. If Chu Heng's speed could still see his shadow, then Wangcai's attack was as fast as lightning. Gu Ming's eyes could not catch its movements at all. He saw Wangcai just kick his hind legs to the ground, and it appeared in front of him. Gu Ming hurriedly rolled on the ground to avoid Wangcai's collision, and he looked a little embarrassed.
Before Gu Ming could stand up, Chu Heng attacked him. He was trying to kill him while he was weak. He could only roll on the ground again to avoid Chu Heng's kick, but Gu Ming still couldn't stand up. This was because Wang Cai's attack also arrived, so he could only raise his hands and admit defeat.
This time he admitted defeat for the nth time in a while. Gu Ming knew that as long as he lay on the ground, he didn't have to get up. Wang Cai and Chu Heng were too fast, and he couldn't get up and could only let them do whatever they wanted.
"Chief, why did you admit defeat? Can't you still hold on? Haha." Only Dong Dawei, who was Gu Ming's friend before the end of his life, dared to joke with him. Others were still a little restrained in front of Gu Ming.
"You go and try it, and you will die if you try it." Gu Ming stood up and responded with a smile.
In addition to Gu Ming, the leaders of several combat departments and Wangcai, there was also Xu Yunkong, the head of the Supervision Department. They came to the training ground to watch Gu Ming's training. Sometimes they also had to fight with Gu Ming. This was also a way for Gu Ming to deepen their relationship with them. After all, fighting between men can also deepen their relationship.
The few people who had fought went to the locker room to take off their dirty training clothes, put on their own clothes, and then took a hot shower. After getting dressed, several people and a dog came to Dong Dawei's office. Dong Dawei waited until everyone was seated and started to make tea. It took a few minutes to get a pot of tea and pour a few cups of tea. Everyone picked up their own cup of tea and drank it.
Gu Ming put down the teacup, and he smiled and asked Xu Yunkong, "Is the work of the Supervision Department going well?"
"It's okay, but there is not much work every day, so it's quite idle." Xu Yunkong was telling the truth. Except for those bad apples in the major departments of the base who were just caught at the beginning, the entire Supervision Department basically had nothing to do during this period. He could only come to the combat department to chat with Zhang Henghui and exercise.
"It's good to be idle." Gu Ming nodded first, and then he said, "If it's not idle, then it means that there are still many bad apples in our departments, right?"
Several people nodded in agreement. They also knew that it would be best for the Supervision Department to be so idle every day, which means that no department has problems. If it is really not idle, then they will worry whether their relatives are doing something bad under their banner. Last time, Gu Ming had let those people go for their face. If such a thing happens again, they believe that Gu Ming will not show mercy. They thought in their hearts that they would mention it to their relatives after returning, asking them to be law-abiding. The current life is hard-earned. Don't be killed by zombies and monsters. It's not worth it to lose your life for some benefits.
Gu Ming has been staying in the combat department most of the time these days, exercising with everyone, and then everyone sits together to chat. It can be said that in the whole base, he can only chat and fart with a few men in the combat department. As for other men in the base, they only admire and respect him.
"By the way, Wenbao, I heard that your sister has fallen in love with Doctor Hong, the leader of the medical team from the official place. Do you know?" Gu Ming asked casually.
"Oh." Song Wenbao really hadn't heard about this. Now he heard Gu Ming's words, and he was a little panicked. He didn't know what the leader meant. He said, "I don't know. She didn't tell me about this."
"Don't panic." Gu Ming waved his hand at Song Wenbao, making him feel more at ease. Gu Ming continued, "I'm not blaming you, nor am I going to pursue any problems with Wenli. Ask your sister. If she really likes the other person, then you can directly tell Doctor Hong to invite him to join our base. Of course, if you are willing to let your sister marry Doctor Hong and let Doctor Hong take your sister to the Shancheng base, then I have no objection."
"Okay, leader, I will talk to Wenli." How could Song Wenli agree to her sister going to the official base? He only has one relative. As for his uncle and aunt, they don't have a deep relationship with his family. How could he let his sister stay away from him? You have to know that in this doomsday era, today's separation may be a farewell forever.
