Chapter 23 Negotiation!

 "Brother Zhao, the manager of that gathering place you mentioned is really a woman?!"

"Hmm!"

Zhao Yu nodded and said: "She is a strong woman, a third-level enhancer..."

Mengmeng was a little longing. She had never thought that in this apocalyptic world, a woman could still be in power.

In the underground shelter, no matter how the situation changes, it changes from one man in power to another man in power.

Zhao Yu just said a few words and did not discuss it in depth. After all, he did not want to see Meng Xian again.

That woman once said that if she saw him again, she would kill him.

Three hours later, Zhao Yu returned to the base.

"Why is there no one patrolling?!"

When Zhao Yu realized something was wrong, a group of people suddenly poured out from all directions and surrounded them.

"Don't move!"

"Hands up!"

More than 30 people wearing different clothes and holding guns surrounded Zhao Yu and others.

Not to be outdone, a dozen soldiers raised their spears and pointed them at them.

Zhao Yu was shocked. He didn't expect that his hometown would be raided!

What frightened him even more was that the soldiers under his command had no bullets in their guns.

Fortunately, there were no bullets. If there were bullets, the early warning command he had issued long ago would have been triggered, and the two sides would be in a fight.

Zhao Yu frowned as he looked at the familiar figure in front of the team, who seemed to be from Mengjiazhuang.

"Don't even shoot!"

At this time, a female voice sounded from the crowd, and then the team separated into a path, and Meng Xian walked up from it.

It is indeed her!

"Who is your commander?!" Meng Xian asked, and then looked at the team in front of her. Looking at the several corpses they were dragging and a strange-looking alien corpse, she couldn't help but feel curious that these people had gone out so late at night.

Where.

"Meng Xian, we meet again!"

Zhao Yu patted the soldiers blocking him and walked out of the team.

"It's you?!"

Meng Xian was a little stunned, she didn't expect to meet Zhao Yu here.

She frowned and said, "Why did you become a soldier?"

Zhao Yu patted the centurion rank on his shoulder and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten that I was a billionaire before the end of the world?!"

"I had a brother who was doing well. I went to him and he gave me a Centurion Dangdang..."

"This..."

Everyone was surprised for a while, not only surprised that Zhao Yu was once a billionaire, but also surprised that he could become a centurion by virtue of his connections.

However, most people are curious and want to know how Zhao Yu and Meng Xian met.

Meng Xian raised her eyebrows. The last time she said goodbye to Zhao Yu, she killed him, but now, as Zhao Yu, she can't do it rashly.

"What is the purpose of your coming here?!"

Zhao Yu sneered and said: "It's my turn to ask you, what do you want to do by breaking into our military base and surrounding us?!"

As he said that, he looked around and asked: "Where are the eight brothers I left behind in the base? Were they killed by you?!"

At this moment, if he is not careful, he will die without a burial place. Although Zhao Yu is panicking in his heart, he does not show it on his face.

"Bring it up!"

Meng Xian waved her hand and brought eight soldiers up as planned.

After seeing that the eight conscripts under him were not dead, but had some extra bandages on their bodies, Zhao Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that the other party does not dare to mess around until they are sure of their identity.

This means that he has to pull out a tiger skin for himself so that Meng Xian and others dare not take action.

"Haha, you should be glad that you didn't kill them!" Zhao Yu smiled contemptuously and looked at Meng Xian as if he were looking at a dead person.

"Damn, what did you say?!"

"Believe it or not, I will kill you!"

Seeing Meng Xian being laughed at, the people around him couldn't bear it anymore. Several people raised their pistols and jumped to attack Zhao Yu.

Upon seeing this, Meng Xian quickly stopped these people and cursed: "What are you doing? Is I dead? Do you want to come forward?!"

Xiaoliu and the others immediately shrank their heads and did not dare to say any more.

Meng Xian turned her head, looked at Zhao Yu and asked, "What did you mean by what you just said?!"

"That's what I meant!"

Zhao Yu said calmly, but his mind was racing, thinking about which tiger skin to pull off to make it work.

If Meng Xian and others knew that he was an independent individual, they would probably kill him without mercy.

Especially at this moment, there are no bullets in his soldier's gun, and he doesn't even have a chance to save his life!

"Are you from Black Rock City?!" Meng Xian tried carefully.

"Haha!"

Zhao Yu smiled faintly and said contemptuously: "Black Rock City, do you think you can tolerate me?!"

Although the time was short, his brain had already gone full circle.

The background of Black Rock City cannot be messed up. He doesn't know whether there is Black Rock City or not. After all, he has never seen it with his own eyes, and Meng Xian definitely knows more about it than he does.

If someone finds out that he is telling nonsense, it will be the end of the world.

Similarly, Luwei Group sounds very powerful, but after all, Meng Xian has been in contact with Luwei Group, and Zhao Yu does not dare to talk nonsense.

Therefore, all he could think of was the organization that had left facehuggers in the chemical plant before.

"Then I don't know which organization you are loyal to now?!" Meng Xian asked with squinted eyes.

While waiting for Zhao Yu and others to return, they also discussed what attitude they should adopt when facing what kind of forces.

"Rizhao Group, have you heard of it?!"

"Sunshine?!"

Meng Xian was stunned for a moment, then frowned, as if she was thinking about the situation of this group.

"Isn't Rizhao developing in the north?"

Really?

Zhao Yu said calmly: "Can't we come here?!"

Meng Xian's expression became solemn. She was not familiar with the Rizhao Group, and there was no such group in Black Rock City.

But as far as she knows, this is an existence that is not weaker than the Luwei Group.

What did such a northern group do when they came south?!

With such doubts, Meng Xian asked: "What are you two doing here?!"

"Don't you think you have too many problems?!"

Zhao Yudan said: "Now, it's my turn to ask you why you came to our base, injured my people, and surrounded us here?!"

He narrowed his eyes and said: "You want to fight with me?!"

Meng Xian glanced at the soldiers behind Zhao Yu. There was no fear or fear on each of their faces, and they all looked brave and unafraid of death.

Of course, since she agreed with Hawkeye's proposal, she naturally wanted to live in peace.

Otherwise, when Zhao Yu and others came back, they should have sniped from a distance instead of surrounding them.

The reason why we gathered here is to increase our bargaining chips.

"There are more than thirty people on my side, and there are only a dozen on your side. Do you think we can't win?!" Meng Xian asked.

"My people are not afraid of death, but where are your people?!" Zhao Yu said calmly.

Although he only glanced at the eight tied up conscripts, he also saw the injuries on their bodies. It was obvious that someone had tortured them to extract confessions.

Facing a group of robots to torture and extract confessions, you can imagine what the mobilization of soldiers looks like in the eyes of these people.

"Damn it, you think we are cowards?!"

Xiaoliu was unhappy and wanted to come up and fight Zhao Yu again.

Others are a little afraid, who wants to die if they can live?!

However, they didn't show it on their faces. Instead, like Xiao Liu, they looked filled with indignation.

"Shut up!"

As before, Meng Xian severely reprimanded Xiaoliu again.

This is actually their script. They deliberately let Xiao Liu and others play a bad role, making it look like everyone below them wants to fight for their lives, but she is unwilling to take action for the sake of everyone, so as to facilitate negotiations with these soldiers.

Meng Xian's plan is doomed to fail. The soldiers around Zhao Yu don't know how to write the word "fear". They stand motionless one by one, as before, with no expression on their faces, like war weapons.

"Gulu..."

Naturally, someone noticed this situation and swallowed secretly without leaving any trace.

Meng Xian pondered for two seconds and then said: "In this case, let's open the skylight and speak frankly!"

"You also know where our gathering place is..."

"I came here this time to clean up the alien species here and move the gathering place here..."

"When I got here, I discovered that there were a few more buildings and some soldiers, so I sent someone up to inquire about the situation..."

"Who knew, your soldiers actually opened fire, so we captured them..."

"The reason why the eight of them are still alive is because I want to talk to you..."

Zhao Yudan said: "What to talk about?!"

Meng Xian considered it: "The Rizhao Group is indeed a big force and we can't afford to offend it, but your home field is in the north after all. It shouldn't be easy to mobilize troops here..."

"In order to prevent you from retaliating, we will kill everyone here now, and then move the gathering place. It will be difficult for your Rizhao Group to find that we did it..."

"But this is not worthwhile. After all, no one has died. It would be too hasty to just continue to die..."

"In addition, we have not entered these four buildings of yours. We don't know what you are researching inside, and we have not touched your secrets..."

"So, I want to talk, if we let you go now, can you let us go?!"

These words made Xiaoliu and others feel guilty for a while, and they no longer looked as arrogant and domineering as before.

Strong on the outside but capable on the inside!

Zhao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had made the right bet and his safety was guaranteed.

The next step is to think about how to talk about it so that it is not obtrusive and fits the personality.

"You haven't entered the four buildings in the base?!"

Zhao Yu turned his head, as if he wanted to see it with his own eyes.

In fact, he knew very well that no one else could enter the four buildings of the base except him and his soldiers, unless the armor was dry-exploded, which also meant that the base was destroyed.

Meng Xian waved her hand, and immediately the crowd parted ways, giving way to the sight of the base.

Zhao Yu took a closer look, and after making sure that it was not damaged, he nodded slightly, seemed to be relieved, and said: "You should be lucky that you didn't open the base door, otherwise even if we die, the Rizhao Group will hunt you down.

To the ends of the earth, until complete death..."

These words made Meng Xian and others' hair stand on end.

Especially Xiaoliu and others couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, they listened to Hawkeye at that time, otherwise they would have been doomed.

Although I don’t know what is in those four buildings, it must involve the big secret of Rizhao Group.

Once the door is opened, no matter whether they look or not, they will be killed and silenced.

"So, there is still room for relaxation?!" Meng Xian asked anxiously.

"Of course!"

Zhao Yu nodded and said with a smile: "I just joined the Rizhao Group not long ago. It's too false to say loyalty. It's all about living. No one wants to die..."

Meng Xian nodded and expressed her approval. After all, if the two sides fight, people will definitely die, especially since there are so many people on their side. If they pay a certain price, they can completely destroy Zhao Yu and others.

She thought for a while and said: "How can I be sure that after leaving, you will not cause trouble for us in the future?!"

"What do you want me to do, write you a letter of commitment?!" Zhao Yu said with a dull smile.

Meng Xian frowned. This was something she felt was not easy to deal with. If Zhao Yu was let go today, he would summon more people from the Rizhao Group to cause trouble in the future, which would be dangerous.

Zhao Yu seemed to see her doubts and said: "I think the only guarantee is my promise!"

"I promise that I will not cause trouble for you in the future, nor will I report what happened today to Rizhao Group..."

Promise?!

Meng Xian was stunned and didn't understand the meaning of what he said.

Zhao Yu continued: "My promise does not depend on whether I can fulfill it, but on how strong you are!"

"How strong am I?!" Meng Xian seemed to understand what he meant.

"That's right!"

Zhao Yu nodded and said: "Come on, show me how strong the third-level enhancer is, and whether you can assassinate me under the protection of a group of people!"

Meng Xian understood what Zhao Yu meant. The stronger she showed at this moment, the more effective Zhao Yu's promise was.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Otherwise, even if the people at the gathering place die, she will come alone to assassinate Zhao Yu.

"I understand!"

Meng Xian nodded and turned around to let her people disperse.

Soon, the crowd dispersed.

Meng Xian continued: "I am a third-level force-sensitive dual-system enhancer. I can dodge bullets and kill people with my bare hands..."

She threw the pistol at her waist to Xiao Liu and said, "Shoot at me and use up all the bullets!"

"Ah?!"

Xiao Liu was startled and looked a little worried when he saw that there was only six or seven meters between them.

"Sister Meng, will this distance..."

"Shoot!" Meng Xian frowned and shouted coldly.

She knows very well that the stronger the strength shown at this moment, the more afraid Zhao Yu is of her revenge, and then he will keep his promise.

On the contrary, if she makes Zhao Yu feel less afraid, the greater the possibility of being retaliated against in the future.

Although I feel extremely aggrieved, in this world, big fists are the rule.

Compared to her alone, Zhao Yu is not worth mentioning, and just sending a mistress can kill him.

But there is a Rizhao Group behind him, and a brother who can arrange for him to join the Rizhao Group as a centurion.

This is his invisible power!

"I'm coming!"

Xiao Liuyi gritted his teeth and after reminding him twice, he pressed the trigger.

"Bang~" "Bang~" "Bang~"

Eight consecutive gunshots rang out.

Meng Xian was seen standing there, with her feet nailed to the ground, and her upper body was flashing like a phantom.

When the gunfire ended, the eight phantoms merged into one body and returned to their standing state.

Look at her body, she is completely unscathed!

"Hide bullets on the spot?!"

Zhao Yu's eyes were full of shock. He didn't expect that the third-level enhancer could be so powerful.

How can you dodge bullets at a distance of five or six meters?!

Meng Xian also felt guilty at the moment, fearing that Zhao Yu would see through their trick.

When she was in the camp before, she had trained Xiao Liu's dodge skills. She also used a pistol to attack him to stimulate his potential, but the distance was not so close.

At that time, in order to prevent Xiao Liu from being seriously injured, she made an agreement with him that eight bullets would be fired from fixed positions in sequence.

In this way, even if Xiao Liu did not escape, he would not be seriously injured.

Fortunately, to her relief, Xiaoliu understood her hint and fired the bullets in the order they trained this time.

After all, dodging bullets in sequence and dodging bullets at random are two different levels of difficulty. With her current strength, it would be very difficult to dodge standing still at a distance of five or six meters.

Meng Xian saw the shock in Zhao Yu's eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. She understood that Zhao Yu was shocked, so he should not dare to mess around and would abide by the agreement between the two parties.

"This is the third-level enhancer?!" Zhao Yu suddenly became interested in basic potions.

If he also has the strength of a third-level enhancer, his safety will be greatly improved.

"How is it?!" Meng Xian asked with a smile on her face, feeling somewhat complacent.

"Master Meng is so powerful. I will pretend that I didn't see what happened today and delete the surveillance content in the base..."

"Okay, cool!"

Meng Xian laughed and felt that the big stone in her heart suddenly disappeared.

She then said: "Now that the deal is settled, should we put down the guns in case of a misfire?!"

To be honest, she was really afraid that Zhao Yu would start a fight with his life. Maybe she wouldn't die, but the people she brought might die.

"Okay!"

Zhao Yu nodded and said directly: "Everyone is here, stand at attention!"

"Pa!"

All the soldiers immediately put away their guns, stood upright, and made a clear sound with neat movements.

Just this moment shocked Meng Xian and others.

"As expected, they are soldiers from a powerful force, well-trained..."

"Oh my god, these soldiers are trained like robots. They only know how to obey orders..."

At the same time, Meng Xian somewhat admired Zhao Yu for being so courageous and taking the initiative to ask his subordinates to put away their guns.

Seeing this, she looked back at her teammates who were still in a daze, frowned and said: "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Put your gun back!"

Suddenly, there was a sparse sound of closing guns. Compared with Zhao Yu's well-trained team, they were like a mob.

She didn't know that Zhao Yu wished that both sides would withdraw their guns. After all, his soldiers' guns were really out of bullets!

Meng Xian turned around, looked at Zhao Yu, and said: "Zhao Yu, I don't know how long you will stay here?!"

Zhao Yu frowned, as if he was dissatisfied with her inquiring into military operations.

"Don't get me wrong!"

Meng Xian quickly explained: "Before we came here, we didn't know you were stationed here. We originally planned to set up a camp here..."

"So, I want to ask when you will leave. After all, the photovoltaic power generation here is quite useful to us..."

Zhao Yu nodded slightly and said: "This depends on the arrangements from above, but according to my brother, this military base is quite important, and a large amount of manpower and material resources will be sent here in the future..."

This...

Meng Xian was a little disappointed. If they left after completing their mission, it would be fine, the photovoltaic power plant would still be theirs.

She hesitated for a moment and then said: "The Rizhao Group's headquarters is in the north. It shouldn't be convenient to come here. If possible in the early stage, I would like to establish a transaction and exchange window with you. What do you think?"

Transaction?!

Zhao Yu thought about it carefully and realized that it would not be impossible if he could trade some supplies he needed with Mengjiazhuang.

He nodded slightly and said: "This is a small matter, I can make the decision..."

Hearing this, Meng Xian suddenly felt a little emotional, feeling that Zhao Yu had a good brother who actually gave him such great power.

"Well, our gathering place is quite short of electricity. If possible, can you allow us to move the camp here?!"

Zhao Yu frowned, but deep down he was thinking about how to respond.

After all, he is now pretending to be a tiger, pulling off a piece of tiger skin to scare Meng Xian and the others.

"It doesn't matter if it's not in the power plant. There is a large open space over the east gate. We can camp outside the east gate. If possible, I would like to connect electricity to our camp..."

"Outside the East Gate?!"

Zhao Yu touched his chin. It was not impossible outside the east gate. It was still some distance away from his base. He was not afraid of being seen through by Meng Xian and others.

Meng Xian was also careful. She felt that if she was too far away, maybe Zhao Yu would have other ideas.

As the two parties are closer, even if Zhao Yu has a wrong idea, he still has to consider the distance between the two parties, fearing that she will come to kill him.

Therefore, regarding this point, she seemed to be asking Zhao Yu for his opinion, but deep down she had the intention of settling the camp here.

Zhao Yu asked: "The power plant is stopped now, will you restart the equipment?!"

"Uh, aren't we there?!" Meng Xian naturally didn't understand this, but she thought that Zhao Yu should be able to solve these small problems with Rizhao Group's backing.

"We do have the ability to restart power plants, but what are the benefits?!"

Hearing this, Meng Xian was ecstatic, which meant that Zhao Yu agreed to let them move the camp outside the east gate.

She quickly said: "We can exchange things for any supplies, as long as the price is right..."

"No need to bother!"

Zhao Yu said directly: "The power plant is under our control. Restoration, operation, and maintenance are all left to us. You pay the electricity bill according to the amount..."

"Pay the electricity bill?!"

Meng Xian turned around and glanced at the crowd. Most of them had expressions on their faces that said: "Master, please agree."

She nodded and said: "It's okay to pay the electricity bill, but how to calculate the price of this electricity bill?!"

Zhao Yu, however, was not in a hurry to negotiate the price and said: "Don't worry about it. I don't have the talent to repair the power plant here for the time being. You move the camp here first, and I will apply to the above to send some relevant talents over, and when the power is restored,

, I will give you a free trial operation for one day, and we will discuss the price at that time..."

When we talk about the price now, no one knows whether we are losing money or making money. We will wait until the power is put into operation.

Moreover, Zhao Yu still feels guilty and wants to send Meng Xian and others away as soon as possible.

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Meng Xian was overjoyed. She didn't expect Zhao Yu to be so reasonable. She couldn't help but think of what Xu Menglan said afterwards, Zhao Yu got better that week.

Maybe, he really has turned back?!

Next, Meng Xian handed the eight prisoners back to Zhao Yu, and at the same time pointed at the alien and asked curiously: "What kind of monster is this? Why have I never seen it before?!"

Zhao Yu said casually: "Alien, a new type of monster. I don't know where it came from. I received a mission from the group and went out to eliminate it..."

"Is it awesome?!"

Meng Xian had long noticed that with the monster's body came back four soldiers, who must have been sacrificed during the battle.

"It's amazing!"

Zhao Yu said, pointing to Mengmeng in the team, and said: "She is a survivor we rescued. We originally planned to send someone to your Mengjiazhuang. Since you are here, take her with you...



Change source app】

Meng Xian was a little shocked, but she didn't expect that Zhao Yu would bring a survivor back for them.

However, when I think of the mother and daughter who Zhao Yu instructed them to go to Mengjiazhuang before, I can understand it.

Mengmeng witnessed the negotiation between Meng Xian and Zhao Yu and had already admired her for a long time. When she saw Meng Xian waving, she quickly walked over.

In this way, the two sides separated, Zhao Yu stayed at the base, and Meng Xian led others out of the base.

After leaving the base, several people found Meng Xian and worriedly said: "Zhuang Master Meng, we are just leaving, is it okay?!"

"Hmm!"

Meng Xian nodded and said: "Although I think he will keep his promise, but just in case, we still have to send someone to keep an eye on them..."

She turned around and looked around for a week, nodded at four people, and said: "I will set up a surveillance team, and you guys will be in charge. If you find any signs of these soldiers coming towards our camp, report them in time..."

At this time, everyone's worries gradually dissipated.

"Sister Meng, do we really want to be neighbors with them?!" Xiao Liu was a little uneasy, but deep down he still felt that these soldiers could not be trusted.

"Of course, being neighbors with these soldiers is not entirely a bad thing..."

Meng Xian smiled and said: "If they have no bad intentions towards us, then when encountering some difficult situations, we can definitely ask them to take action, or guide them to take action..."

She doesn't believe that Zhao Yu and others can stand by when a large number of alien or radioactive beasts appear?!

Meng Xian regained her former pride and laughed loudly: "Although the relocation of the camp is different from what we expected, it is still a success. The people from the surveillance team stayed behind, and the others came back with me to prepare to move the camp!"
