Chapter 827: Write It Off

Fire Phoenix followed Xia Qing into Territory No. 9 with two bodyguards, looked around and sighed, "It's been a year since Li Si left Liehuo Mountain and came to this territory. I haven't been able to find time to pay attention to the situation here. I didn't expect that there would be such flat farmland at the foot of the mountain, and there is surface water that can irrigate the farmland. It is indeed a good place."

What does she mean: everything Li Si does here has nothing to do with her? However, Li Si doesn't seem to have done anything out of the ordinary.

Xia Qing responded politely, "It is because the terrain here is flat and suitable for farming, so after the fourth sister left, the base decided to build this place into a planting center. Captain Deng, please come this way, watch your step."

"Come in, family, come in!" Tang Huai, who was in the eastern wasteland wall of Territory No. 2, lowered his voice and reported the real-time situation.

Liehuo's bodyguard caught the movement in the wasteland wall and turned to face the place where Tang Huai was hiding.

What the hell are you looking at? Do you think I'm as cowardly as Wen Nengjie! Staying in the territory under his jurisdiction, Tang Huai, who was protected by the Territory Law, was fearless and continued, "All three of them came in."

Wen Nengjie asked, "Brother Huai, how is it?"

Although the two bodyguards were wearing pure black, one-sided translucent protective masks, Tang Huai still recognized the two men based on their figures, "They are in the top ten of Huiyi's combat power rankings, how many do you think? By the way, their protective suits are good, and they must be made of new materials."

I... Fuck! How many? !

Wen Nengjie didn't dare to say anything.

The two bodyguards ignored Tang Huai and looked up at the Jade Belt Sea Eagle hovering in the southwest sky.

"The fourth combat power of the Liehuo Team, Huo Zhen, and the sixth combat power, Huo Ting, are both cyborgs."

In Territory No. 8, Zhou Zhaoping introduced the identities of the two bodyguards following the Fire Phoenix on the screen to Xin Yu, "This is the first time they have been seen in this outfit. Judging from the style, it should have been upgraded."

Xin Yu zoomed in on the surveillance screen, carefully checked the connection between the protective clothing on the necks of Huo Zhen and Huo Ting, and gave a positive answer, "The protective mask and the protective clothing are seamlessly connected. It is indeed upgraded. This must be a new material."

Zhou Zhaoping quickly searched for information on the computer, and then turned the screen to Xin Yu, "This is the list of new materials purchased by the Liehuo since June last year. The black ones are public purchases, and the red ones are underground transactions we have found. There are 54 types in total. Miss, please take a look."

Xin Yu quickly browsed through it, "Sort out a set of materials and give it to Huo Lei. He should be able to figure out what material the Liehuo's protective clothing is made of."

"Yes."

In Territory No. 9, the Fire Phoenix followed Xia Qing to the "office" that could barely be considered a house, and did not ask why it was so dilapidated.

Because she knew when and why the dilapidated house here was blown up.

That reason, he stood right in front of her, and became the manager of this territory!

Fire Phoenix turned her eyes and looked at Yue Haiying who opened the door for them, "I heard that Captain Yue retired before, but I didn't expect you were also in this territory."

Hui Yi and Hui San are not far away from each other. In recent years, they have carried out many joint disaster relief missions. Yue Haiying's squadron has cooperated with the Liehuo Team several times. Although Fire Phoenix never leads the team to perform missions, they have met twice.

Yue Haiying didn't believe that she just knew I was here, and nodded, "Director, Captain Deng, please come in."

Huo Fenghuang saw Yan Yue sitting in a wheelchair in the room again, and smiled and said to Xia Qing, "Lord Xia has a keen eye for talent and employs people in an unconventional way. The Ninth Planting Center is really a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are hidden."

Tang Huai snorted, "It's amazing to say three idioms in one sentence!"

"That's right!" Liu Jing, who was lying next to Tang Huai, immediately followed, and then said regretfully, "Boss, they went into the room and closed the door, we can't hear it."

The interior of Xia Qing's office is as simple as the exterior, with only a table and two chairs, but it is cleaned very cleanly. After entering the room, Deng Yufeng took off the protective mask, revealing a fiery red face.

This face is very visually impactful when viewed up close, so many people dare not look directly at it. But Xia Qing didn't feel that way, because she had a dark red face for five of the past ten years.

Every time Xia Qing saw her face in the cracked mirror in the dim bathroom of the Evolver's dormitory, she felt like she was watching a horror movie.

She also took off her protective mask and opened the packaging bag of disposable paper cups. "It's simple here, there is no distilled water. Can Captain Deng drink filtered water?"

"Of course, water will do." Deng Yufeng took off her gloves, deliberately showing a pair of fiery red hands with needle holes on the back that had not yet healed, and took a sip of the filtered water handed over by Xia Qing. "Don't be afraid of you laughing at me. I was so nervous at the third brother's place just now that I didn't even dare to drink water."

"Of course, the third brother is still angry with me and didn't even give me a bottle of water." Deng Yufeng drank half a glass of water and looked at Xia Qing sincerely.

"Miss Xia, let's not beat around the bush. I knew Shan Ying wanted revenge on you, but I didn't stop her. After all, her only relative in the world died at the hands of Miss Xia, and I had no reason to stop her from taking revenge. Afterwards, my third brother called to warn me, and I realized that he owed Miss Xia a favor, so I came here to apologize to him and Miss Xia."

"Captain Deng is too polite. It was indeed my fault that Shan Xiang died by mistake." In the cause of death of the members of the Fiery Catching Team reported by Xia Qing, Shan Xiang was "manslaughtered by mistake."

Xia Qing's statement was that Shan Xiang hid behind a rock to attack her, and she was already poisoned at the time, so she couldn't control the strength, so she accidentally hit Shan Xiang to death.

Does anyone believe this?

The Fiery Catching Team provoked and fired first, so no matter whether Shan Xiang was killed by mistake or not, Xia Qing was innocent, and no one would investigate the truth of her words.

Fire Phoenix still looked sincere, "Third Brother is my savior. If my people attacked you and I didn't stop them, it would be the same as me attacking you. Third Brother is right to be angry, and it is also right to destroy my source of income. Miss Xia, let's write off the past, okay?"

Write it off just like that? No compensation at all? Xia Qing nodded calmly, "Of course. Hearing you say that, I feel relieved. I can plant crops in peace in the future."

The Phoenix smiled, but suddenly felt sad. She leaned back in her chair and murmured, "If I had the same luck as Miss Xia, I would not have been protected by the third brother. I would not be in this state of neither human nor ghost now."

After waiting for a few seconds, she did not hear Xia Qing asking why she was in this state. The Phoenix understood, "Miss Xia already knows about the underground experiment?"

Xia Qing nodded, "I heard Brother Yue say something a while ago. Miss Deng was not only lucky but also very capable to be able to walk out of that hell alive."

Many people who were used as experimental subjects died tragically underground.

The Phoenix, who wanted to play the pity, was blocked by Xia Qing, and naturally changed her words, "Well, compared to those who died tragically underground, my luck is indeed good."
