#112 - Chapter 112 Yan Zhengping came to express his gratitude
"Xiaolin, I want to re-plan the Funing District of Binjiang City. I want to build a large, independent base there to serve as the headquarters for the Chamber of Commerce and the Labor Union. At the same time, the connection with our side should be as concealed as possible. I don't want anyone to discover the existence of another base."
"Understood, Commander."
"Well, get the plan done first, and start construction directly after the deployment of the second-generation Queen Bee," said Dongfang Chen.
"Understood, Commander."
"Oh, right, how's the analysis of the medicine you brought back going?" Dongfang Chen asked.
This medicine was the virus control drug for the infected, obtained from the Saint Envoy.
"The analysis is complete. It mainly contains some antibiotics and drugs to boost immunity, as well as a small amount of crystal nucleus powder," Xiaolin replied.
"What about the efficacy?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"It can resist the spread of the virus, but the efficacy is not long-lasting and requires continuous medication. Moreover, the side effects are huge and will cause serious damage to organs. The trace biological energy provided by the crystal nucleus powder may prevent it from being life-threatening in the short term," Xiaolin replied.
"Okay, I understand."
This was about what he had guessed.
"How is the state of the space station? Has the production task of the production module been completed?"
"The worker bee robots have been produced."
"Then can we start the upgrade?"
"Yes."
"Okay, then after all the medicine from the Southwest Military Region is delivered, start the upgrade!"
"Understood, Commander."
......
At the same time, Yan Zhengping returned to the military region after the meeting, it was already evening.
The soldiers in the isolation zone have already treated 900 people, leaving only the last 300 or so mild infected.
The heart that he had been holding in his throat was finally lowered.
"Call Rong Po in!" Yan Zhengping ordered as soon as he returned to the office.
The messenger acknowledged the order and left.
"Rong Po, I have an important task for you. Go pick 200 of the best Zhanfeng assault team members to come with me," Yan Zhengping ordered.
"Yes!" Rong Po was overjoyed upon hearing this. This was his chance to shine, so he hurried back to prepare.
Afterwards, Yan Zhengping had another phone call with Dongfang Chen.
He wanted to personally thank him, and it would be even better if he could get some more information out of him.
......
March 26, 2055 AD, morning.
Yan Zhengping, with 200 Zhanfeng assault team members, arrived in Binjiang again in five transport helicopters.
They arrived at a relatively empty safe house provided by Dongfang Chen in advance and landed the planes.
A group of soldiers quickly jumped off the plane, lined up, and stood guard.
"Rong Po, you come in with me, the others wait outside and be careful," Yan Zhengping ordered.
"Yes!"
Walking into the courtyard, Dongfang Chen was already waiting at the door.
The two shook hands warmly, and the group of three walked towards the base.
"Xiaochen, you really know how to play! I must say, this is very well hidden," Yan Zhengping said after entering the base.
"Of course, my life is the most important thing, so I have to put some effort into it?" Dongfang Chen replied with a smile.
"Xiaochen, I'm here mainly to thank you. If it weren't for your assistance, I think the Southwest Military Region would most likely have been breached. Moreover, the 1232 soldiers who were infected with the virus were also able to receive timely treatment thanks to the medicine you provided. Here, on behalf of the entire Southwest Military Region, I express my gratitude to you!"
With that, Yan Zhengping stood up and gave Dongfang Chen a standard military salute.
Rong Po also followed behind Yan Zhengping, saluting at the same time.
"Okay, Commander Yan, why are you being so polite? Besides, I didn't provide assistance for free, didn't I also earn a lot of crystal nuclei from you?" Dongfang Chen quickly stood up and motioned for Yan Zhengping to sit down.
"I have already told Fangfang to provide more equipment to the Southeast Military Region, so that the two military regions can collect crystal nuclei at the same time, and the speed will be much faster," Yan Zhengping said.
"Haha, Commander Yan has played a good move, clearing himself of any involvement on the surface, while secretly making a fortune," Dongfang Chen teased.
It was only because they were familiar that Dongfang Chen dared to openly criticize him like this.
"It seems you know everything," Yan Zhengping also smiled awkwardly.
"Yes. But it doesn't matter, the price is the price. How many crystal nuclei you can sell is Commander Yan's ability. Now that the production capacity of the equipment has increased a lot, Commander Yan can be bolder and release more resources," Dongfang Chen said.
"Well, I came here to talk to you about this. I'll go to the Northeast Military Region and the Northwest Military Region later to promote the combat suits. Do you have any concerns on your side?" Yan Zhengping replied.
"As long as you don't tell people where they were made, I don't care about anything else," Dongfang Chen said.
"Okay," Yan Zhengping nodded.
"What do you think of the Red Coats?" Yan Zhengping wanted to inquire about some information.
"From the information I have, I think the Red Coats are most likely just small minions on the surface, and there is a more powerful force behind them," Dongfang Chen said his guess.
"What makes you say that?" Yan Zhengping asked.
"The Red Coats are very loosely managed, and almost all of the members are newly developed and lack loyalty. Logically speaking, this kind of sect cannot stand without a foundation. From the last interrogation, we can also draw the conclusion that even the Saint Envoys and even the Saint Sons may not know all the affairs within the sect. That means there must be a higher hidden level above the Saint Sons," Dongfang Chen analyzed.
