#94 - Chapter 94 It’s Too Cheap

"What are you yelling about! Look at you, you don't look like a commander at all, more like a hoodlum!" Yan Zhengping quickly came out to stop him, dragging him into the office. If he kept yelling, he would lose all his face.

"Old Yan, I really didn't expect you to be so disloyal!" Zongzhen Yue complained.

"What are you talking about? Where have I been disloyal?" Yan Zhengping said unhappily, plopping down on the sofa.

"Let me ask you, do you have a serum that can turn people into mutants?" Zongzhen Yue asked.

"How did you know?" Yan Zhengping frowned.

Only he, Yan Fangfang, and Rong Po knew about this. Logically, no one else should know.

"Don't worry about how I know, just tell me, do you have it or not?" Zongzhen Yue continued to ask.

"Old Zong, aren't you not interested in mutants? Besides, combat suits are so good. Soldiers don't have to worry about the zombie virus after wearing them, so why bother with the serum?" Yan Zhengping said.

In his heart, he wasn't very interested in the serum either, the combat suits were more practical. Even if the soldiers got the antigen, they still had to wear combat suits, so it would be easier to just wear combat suits.

"So that means you have it?" Zongzhen Yue persisted.

"Yes, I do, but that stuff isn't as cost-effective as combat suits," Yan Zhengping comforted him.

"You get what you pay for, don't you understand this simple principle?" Zongzhen Yue said anxiously.

"That's not right, Old Zong! Your attitude changed too quickly, didn't it?" Yan Zhengping said suspiciously.

"Let me tell you, mutants are too powerful, our soldiers can't compete with them at all," Zongzhen Yue said mysteriously.

"You met a mutant?" Yan Zhengping asked.

"Do you know that the Speaker has formed a Dark Night Team?" Zongzhen Yue asked.

"I know!" Yan Zhengping replied.

"The Dark Night Team is now in my military region," Zongzhen Yue said.

"And then?" Yan Zhengping didn't know what he was going to say.

"We conducted a confrontation exercise, 19 people against 200 soldiers," Zongzhen Yue said intermittently.

"Just say it all at once, it's exhausting to listen to you talk!" Yan Zhengping said impatiently.

"19 against 200, an average of more than 10 against 1, so what was the result? My men didn't even touch them before they were completely wiped out!" Zongzhen Yue exclaimed.

"Didn't you let the soldiers wear combat suits?" Yan Zhengping didn't understand.

"They wore them! What would I be talking about if they didn't?" Zongzhen Yue glanced at him.

"Wearing combat suits, 200 couldn't beat 19? Old Zong, not that I'm saying this, but the soldiers in your Southeast Military Region need to train harder!" Yan Zhengping teased.

"Hmph! No wonder you don't take the serum seriously. Let me tell you, I'm going to take this serum, if you don't like it, I do," Zongzhen Yue was too lazy to waste words with him.

"Old Zong, it's not that I don't like it, but that stuff is really expensive. Giving it to everyone is not as cost-effective as having everyone wear combat suits," Yan Zhengping kindly advised.

"Why give it to everyone?" Old Zong didn't understand.

"That's right! If they don't get it, the soldiers won't have any resistance, wouldn't they be going out to die?" Yan Zhengping didn't understand what he meant by asking this.

"Wait a minute! Are we talking about the same thing?" Zongzhen Yue was a little confused.

"Yes! Aren't you talking about the antigen?" Yan Zhengping asked.

"Antigen? I'm talking about the serum that can turn ordinary people into mutants!" Zongzhen Yue seemed to have discovered the key point.

"That's right! That kind of serum is the antigen!" Yan Zhengping hadn't reacted yet.

"What? Are you saying you have a vaccine here?" Zongzhen Yue stood up and stared at him.

"Yes! Isn't that what we've been talking about all this time?" Yan Zhengping felt inexplicable at Zongzhen Yue's reaction.

"Damn it! Holy crap! You have a vaccine, why didn't you report it? If we had a vaccine, wouldn't this crisis end quickly?" Zongzhen Yue was about to curse.

"What's the rush? Let me finish!" Yan Zhengping pulled him down to sit.

"This vaccine isn't cheap. What do you think it would be like if it were released to the public?" Yan Zhengping asked.

"If it were released to the public, it would probably be priceless," Zongzhen Yue pondered.

"Then what do you think people who can't buy it would do?" Yan Zhengping continued to ask.

"They'd probably cause trouble! Sigh! Old Yan, I simplified things," Zongzhen Yue apologized.

"Furthermore, you also attended the council's meeting. Have you forgotten that the real terror is the virus? If it was just a virus problem, why would we need to build underground bases?" Yan Zhengping reminded him.

"That's right. It seems that vaccines are not a panacea," Zongzhen Yue replied calmly.

"Back to your original question. Both antigens and combat suits can resist the virus, but think about it, with the same crystal cores, would you choose to buy two sets of combat suits, or one antigen? You may not know, but the price of one antigen is twice that of a combat suit!" Yan Zhengping was exaggerating a bit.

In reality, the price Zongzhen Yue paid for combat suits was almost the same as the price of one antigen.

"Isn't that expensive?" Zongzhen Yue calculated the price and said.

"Not expensive?" Yan Zhengping was speechless.

"Isn't it just 320 crystal cores? That's too cheap, okay?" Zongzhen Yue said.

"Too... cheap?" Yan Zhengping felt that he and he were not on the same wavelength.
