#436 - Chapter 436 Valetov's Transaction
"Haha, Mr. Dongfang is right." How could Valetov not understand the implied meaning?
At this moment, his admiration for the young man in front of him deepened.
How many young people wouldn't get carried away in this kind of situation?
Now, seeing that Dongfang Chen was not swayed by flattery, he could only return to the main topic.
"It's like this, I want to build an underground base like yours within the borders of Oros, including a full set of living facilities and protective measures." Valetov stated his purpose and then stared at him intently.
"No problem. As long as the crystal cores are in place, everything is fine." Dongfang Chen readily agreed.
"We can't produce the crystal cores right now." Valetov said bluntly.
The crystal cores they obtained during the last zombie siege were all used to buy combat suits.
"Then that's impossible." Dongfang Chen refused directly.
"Mr. Dongfang, I can use other things to trade." Valetov said.
"Oh? What things?" Dongfang Chen couldn't imagine what valuable things Valetov could come up with.
"Territory." Valetov replied.
"Territory? Mr. Valetov, don't joke around. I only have two or three hundred thousand people here, what would I do with so much territory?" Dongfang Chen laughed.
He really didn't want the territory.
Ulan Country is located north of Oros and south of Hua Country, completely a landlocked country.
In the current situation, isn't it great to have two major countries as his guardians?
Besides, if the territory becomes larger, he would have to invest in more watchtowers, worry more, and it wouldn't be worth it.
"Mr. Dongfang, what I'm offering you are the most prosperous provinces in all of Oros." Valetov continued to entice him.
"The most prosperous provinces? Are you perhaps talking about the provinces on the west bank of the Volga River?" Dongfang Chen looked at him playfully.
"That's right! Mr. Dongfang is indeed knowledgeable." Valetov laughed heartily.
"Really!?" Dongfang Chen was directly stunned.
The west bank of the Volga River has approximately 1 million square kilometers of land, which used to be the most economically developed and densely populated area in Oros.
Moreover, the capital of Oros, Moscow, is also located there.
Isn't Valetov even willing to sell the capital?
This guy really has guts!
However, he also had his own calculations.
Now that the west bank of the Volga River has been occupied by the Oak Hungarian Federation, he plans to exchange a blank check for a solid base.
"Mr. Valetov, I must say, you're really calculating! Don't think I don't know that the west bank of the Volga River is not in your hands now." Dongfang Chen directly exposed his little thoughts.
"Haha, Mr. Dongfang has very well-informed news. That's right, those places have indeed been occupied, but nominally they still belong to Oros. Their violent actions do not have legitimacy and cannot be recognized." Valetov said boldly without blushing or skipping a beat.
"Sorry, Mr. Valetov, I don't agree to this deal." Dongfang Chen decisively refused.
He wouldn't do something that was thankless.
Not only is it useless to take the land, but he would also have to work hard to recover the lost territory, which is not cost-effective.
"What if I add a piece of information?" Valetov leaned closer and whispered.
He also knew that it wouldn't work to rely on a blank check alone.
The good stuff was yet to come.
"What information?" Dongfang Chen was a little interested.
"More than 100 years ago, our country's archaeological team discovered an abandoned spaceship in the Bruss Mountains in the southern Krasotov Oblast." Valetov said quietly.
"Abandoned spaceship? What's inside?" Dongfang Chen asked curiously.
"There are dozens of sarcophagi inside." Valetov replied.
"Sarcophagi?"
"That's right, it was thought to be sarcophagi at the time. However, after research, it was discovered that it wasn't called a sarcophagus." Valetov squeezed out the information like toothpaste, one sentence at a time.
The purpose was to create suspense.
"Then what is it?" Dongfang Chen frowned.
"They are hibernation pods." Valetov revealed a shocking piece of information.
"Hibernation pods?" Dongfang Chen widened his eyes.
"That's right. At that time, scientists spent more than ten years researching and successfully opened a hibernation pod. Inside, in addition to being full of green liquid, there was also a corpse: an alien corpse!" Valetov concluded.
"That's it? Mr. Valetov, this information alone is not enough to exchange for a base." Dongfang Chen shook his head.
"Of course not. The information I want to trade is the whereabouts of this spaceship!" Valetov said.
"What!?" Dongfang Chen stood up directly.
"Do you mean that this spaceship is still there?" Dongfang Chen stared at him and asked.
"Not only the spaceship, but as far as I know, there are also a total of 23 well-preserved hibernation pods inside that have never been opened!" Valetov deliberately emphasized the words "never been opened."
"Is the information reliable?" Dongfang Chen asked to confirm.
"Don't worry, it's absolutely reliable." Valetov smiled gently and replied.
He knew that the underground base was a sure thing.
