#107 - Chapter 107 Yan Zhengping's Plan
Looking around, the crystal nuclei piled up like a small mountain, emitting a radiant glow.
"How is the cleanup going?" Yan Fangfang asked a soldier next to her who was moving crystal nuclei.
"Reporting, Instructor Yan, it will still take some time," the soldier replied, standing at attention.
"Okay! After the crystal nuclei are collected, gather the corpses together, pour gasoline on them, and burn them all. No burying allowed," Yan Fangfang ordered.
"But..." the soldier hesitated. Gasoline was a precious commodity now.
"Execute the order!" Yan Fangfang didn't explain.
"Yes!"
The biggest cause of the ecological crisis was the viruses carried by the corpses of the dead zombies, which contaminated the microorganisms. Although doing this wouldn't change the ultimate outcome of microbial mutation, doing a little was better than nothing.
From the soldier's report, the number of crystal nuclei obtained this time was roughly 180,000. This was a considerable number, but for Dongfang Chen, it wasn't enough. If all the wounded soldiers were to be treated, both targeted drugs and antigens would each require more than 1,200 doses. At a price of 200 crystal nuclei per dose, the total cost would be nearly 500,000 crystal nuclei.
"Sister Yan, the quantity isn't enough!" Dongfang Chen said.
"Huh?" Yan Fangfang didn't understand Dongfang Chen's meaning.
"I roughly calculated that the medicine requires a total of more than 2,400 doses, costing nearly 500,000 crystal nuclei in total. Currently, you only have less than 200,000, which is quite a bit short," Dongfang Chen explained.
"You still want to charge money?" Yan Fangfang glared at him.
"Wow! What are you doing? Planning to rob me? Let me tell you, one thing is one thing! I can save people, but I can't pay for it out of my own pocket?" Dongfang Chen glared back.
"Why are you so greedy?" Yan Fangfang was frustrated.
"You can't say it like that! This doesn't even include the cost of treating your dad. That injection isn't cheap, it'll cost at least 10,000 crystal nuclei. Besides, if I don't have crystal nuclei, the base can't operate. When you need help again, I won't have the ability!" Dongfang Chen said with a slight threat.
"Then what should we do? You promised to cure everyone within three days. You can't go back on your word!" Yan Fangfang said.
"Of course not. I didn't say I wouldn't treat people. I can give you the medicine on credit first, but you have to make up the crystal nuclei later!" Dongfang Chen looked like a landlord demanding rent.
"You... alright!" Yan Fangfang was speechless and could only agree.
"That's right! I'll treat your dad's injection as a good deed and give it to you for free. But after these crystal nuclei are counted, move them onto my plane as soon as possible. The base is waiting for these crystal nuclei to produce medicine," Dongfang Chen added.
"Okay!" Yan Fangfang was too lazy to look at him and shouted loudly.
"Report!"
While the two were talking, a soldier ran over to report.
"Speak," Yan Fangfang responded.
"Instructor Yan, that woman is dead!" the soldier replied.
"Dead? How did she die?" Yan Fangfang was surprised.
Originally, she wanted to ask that woman why she did this? Why did she help those cultists to frame the soldiers who were protecting them? But she didn't expect that the woman would die first.
"She probably took poison," the soldier replied.
"What about the child?" Yan Fangfang continued to ask.
"Also dead."
Yan Fangfang was stunned. What a ruthless person! Ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to herself and her child.
"How long has she been dead?" Yan Fangfang asked.
"The body is cold, probably died in the middle of the night," the soldier replied.
It seemed that she knew the news had leaked, and the consequences of her not dying would be even more serious.
"Okay, I understand. You arrange for a few people to find a place to bury them," Yan Fangfang ordered.
"Yes!"
The soldier took the order and left.
...
After everything was done and the crystal nuclei were loaded onto the plane, Dongfang Chen hurriedly returned to the base.
Yan Zhengping didn't wake up until evening. After a day of rest, his physical strength had basically recovered.
Afterwards, Yan Fangfang recounted to Yan Zhengping what had happened after he fell unconscious last night and the results of the interrogation during the day.
After learning the cause and effect of the matter, Yan Zhengping was extremely angry. When he heard that Dongfang Chen could actually produce medicine to treat the infected, he was overjoyed.
However, when he heard that Dongfang Chen wanted to charge crystal nuclei, he smiled wryly and shook his head, but he didn't mind.
He didn't approve of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. If people were scared or used to death once, it would be detrimental to both parties later.
"These crystal nuclei must be given, not only must they be given, but they must be gathered as soon as possible. You should also inform the Zhanfeng Commando and the directly subordinate Special Forces Regiment to speed up the collection of crystal nuclei. I believe that as long as we continue to provide him with crystal nuclei, he will definitely bring us more surprises," Yan Zhengping instructed.
"Yes!" Yan Fangfang accepted the order.
"Oh, right. Fangfang, also, give Zongzhen Yue of the Southeast Military Region a slightly larger quantity. This way, we can acquire crystal nuclei faster. In the next few days, I will also take the Zhanfeng Commando to the Northeast Military Region and the Northwest Military Region. I think we will gain a lot."
Yan Zhengping was preparing to help Dongfang Chen advertise.
You should know that the combat suits sold to Zongzhen Yue were priced at 160 crystal nuclei each, with a huge profit margin. How could he not take advantage of such a good resource? Relying solely on his own soldiers to go out and hunt zombies would only earn him a small fee. Mobilizing everyone to hunt zombies together was a win-win situation.
This was a beneficial thing for everyone, so why not do it?
