182. Hidden worries

Insula had been waiting in the wine for a while. He's the kind of person who can fit in with his environment and enjoy himself, and likewise, his relaxed gesture makes it easy to get what he wants out of someone's mouth when needed. Perhaps, this is why he was chosen to be the head of the Druid Parliament's Intelligence Service.

The wine located in the athletes' living quarters is not very popular. For the players, the villa in which each squad dú lì is arguably everything, and it is more uninhibited to get together and chat than in a public space such as alcohol. Although each squad is open, there are things that happen to each other. Except for the villa of Murray's team, because the film crew is now waiting outside almost 24 hours a day, no one comes. And the staff of the entire carnival still have a lot of work in the evening, and not many people can be idle. Those who have time and no place to gather are those who are friends and relatives and representatives of various brands. And these people don't have to limit the meeting place to the player's station, which is equipped but has no style. And only a guy like Sula, who came in a hurry and must have left in a hurry, would choose to have a drink in this kind of place.

Not surprisingly, Insula seems to be able to find friends or subordinates anywhere. In this security team, there are naturally also retired special forces. When Insula, the senior instructor, appeared nearby, several guys who had been trained under Insula came to say hello, and after the drink, two or three security guards who were not on duty came up to drink with Insula.

Seeing Zuo Lin walk into the wine, Insula immediately said goodbye to the two guys who were drinking together, and then walked out of the wine with Zuo Lin and walked and talked on the sidewalk in the player's village.

"It's been a long time, and it seems like you're doing a good job now. Insula smiled and said, "I was supposed to be your subordinate. Now there is an additional intelligence department. It's really troublesome. ”

"It's so much easier for me to have someone like you in charge of this. I can't do that, really. Wulin heard that Insula had a faint explanation, and hurriedly said. He would never be upset that a portion of his power had been taken away. It's just that now he is in charge of the Operations Department, and he is in charge of the tasks and support work of so many people, and he is already overwhelmed. Fortunately, Jin Xiaohua can share part of it for him, otherwise, he would really be too busy. If even the intelligence work is to be in charge of him, a layman, it is really difficult to say whether there will be any problems.

"The review of the Tianxin Lotus series products has passed. All products, all at once. The FDA guys are still testing why it has such a strong effect, and the comparison between the ingredients and your ointment has also come out. It's a stir inside. Insura said, "In addition, there were some problems in the sales of Tianxin Lotus series products. The Italians in New York have made the same mistake of wanting to intervene when they see something that can make money. The Xu family and the Marion family on the east coast have already had a fight, and I have threatened the Marion family a little, so I guess I don't have to worry about it. However, in the future, you will have bodyguards around your two women. ”

"Thank you. Zuo Lin understood that although it was easy to say, Insula must have contributed a lot in it. However, it should be necessary to equip Zhang Ling and Su Weixin with bodyguards. Although there are people from the Xu family on the East Coast, on the West Coast, the Hu family, centered in Los Angeles, has great influence. and the Zhu family, where Yan Yingxue's mother is located, should be able to deal with a more troublesome situation. Arranging reliable bodyguards around Zhang Ling and Su Weixin is more about taking on the work of liaising with these forces.

"No, don't thank me. My visit to you this time has something to do with these things as well. The military wants to purchase a considerable amount of life-saving ointment from you every year, as well as post-operative recovery ointment for cosmetic surgery. Purchased through Zeus Express, the price is simply terrifying. This channel can only satisfy the rich departments such as the CIA and NSA, and even the troops of the CDC where I am located can't take their turns, and many generals are ruthless. Insula said.

Zuo Lin shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's not that I don't want to sell." But now I can't keep up with the production there. This time, the greenhouses invested in the construction will not begin to contribute until at least 4 months later. Originally, the cosmetics of the Tianxin series were ready to be launched in the United States by that time. Now, the military is also happy about the export of ointments. Even if the goods went to the United States through Zeus Express, the military did not say anything. ”

Insula smiled bitterly and said, "But that channel can't guarantee too much volume." Your friend did send all the goods to the United States, but Zeus Express took at least 20% of each batch of goods and sold them himself. The price on the black market is now $800 an ounce. Much more expensive than gold. ”

"What should I do then?" Zuo Lin had to respond with a wry smile. There are so many things in the hands of the druids that can drive the world crazy, and that is the problem of production. The ointment was good, and the plant-based druids were able to make such drugs that were much stronger than Viagra, but the growing conditions of that plant were so harsh that it was almost impossible to grow something called "ironbeard grass" for their own use, and the druids never bothered to do that.

"Four months is four months," Insula said. …… You first find a way to get a batch of goods for emergency. Iraq's counter-terrorism forces, both there and at home, are going to be overwhelmed. …… In addition, how about you expand the production scale of another batch? Guarantee your 10-year order, starting next year, the number of orders will increase by 15 per year, but require you to reduce the price, the proportion is at least 10. ”

Zuo Lin nodded briskly and said, "It's no problem, but you want to find a way to get me air and water filtration devices, which must meet our environmental standards, and the model is a little older, but it must be in good condition." ”

Insula readily agreed. He had been fully authorized to come to Zolin, a friend in the army on one side and a like-minded druid companion on the other, and his status was extremely awkward. But he threw out another topic at the moment: "By the way, a fabric research institute of the Ministry of Defense has developed something good...... Really good thing, psionic affinity xΓ¬ng fabric. Wearing clothes made of this thing, you won't run naked with Transfiguration. It's just that the price is really expensive. The ordinary type is $270 per square meter, and the advanced C weave thickened type is $440 per square meter. By the way, there is also a fabric that is very suitable for making special forces training uniforms. I've sent you all the samples to Shanghai. Go back and see if you can improve your welfare. ”

"$440 a square meter? I'll give you some money when I go back, and this benefit has to be improved." Hehe. "The problem with Transfiguration is that it consumes too much clothes. Although animal druids have a habit of wearing cheap clothes just in case. But that's not the way to do it. If there is this very magical fabric. You're going to love it.

"Well, actually, according to my boss's intentions, it is for me to find a way to facilitate the exchange of these two fabrics for the Tianxin Lotus Relief Ointment. Well, let's talk about this later. It must be a private transaction between the two parties, and it can be regarded as a private communication channel. Now, there is a lot of desire to build this channel, and in the future, you will slowly expand the trading varieties with the Chinese side. There are many things that can't pass through Congress, but everyone will do it privately. It's possible. As for the technical aspect. Entrainment, stopper or something, everyone is familiar with. About this, you go back and ask Jin Xiaohua. She should be more familiar with this kind of thing than you are. ”

Zuo Lin nodded, he could make a decision to exchange ointment and fabric, but the follow-up problem was not something he could solve.

After saying these things, Insula reminded Zorin, "You continue to be careful about this side. They're very hot on the golden bracken thing right now. Official test data has come out, and the function of improving brain cell vitality is more than 10 times higher than that of existing drugs, which can effectively inhibit and treat Alzheimer's disease, and has excellent efficacy for adolescent brain development. Results of a half-year comparative test. It was 5 points higher than the average intelligence of the control group. I only got the report this morning. There is also the restlessness of the intelligence department and those cultivators. ”

This should also be expected. Although it is constantly cleaned and inspected, there are always all kinds of things to steal seeds and planting technical information from the golden bracken planting base. There have always been people with bad intentions who are active. Although the cultivation of golden bracken is now a matter for Oak International, which is managed by Sun Digui, the Tianxin Lotus planting base next to him is enough to worry him. There is not enough reason to be afraid of causing problems. But simple eviction doesn't seem to work.

"Also, be careful that the truth will ...... I don't know if Chirome reminded you. Although the Watchmen have always been tight-staffed, it is remarkable that the Truth Society has been able to fight the Watchmen for decades without showing their true colors. Do you remember the virus lab we first met to destroy?"

Zuo Lin nodded and said, "It has something to do with the Truth Society?"

Insula nodded and said, "I've been following this clue for so long. From the equipment one by one, from those experts to find clues, I finally followed one, but I didn't expect that the person behind the scenes was actually the Truth Society. ”

"Oh?...... The Truth Society...... Will the truth be strong?" Zuo Lin Wuzi was a little unconvinced.

Insula also had very little information about the Truth Society. He explained: "The Society of Truth was established in the United States, presumably, with the discovery of the New World, and with the arrival of waves of immigrants to this land, this organization that once wanted to construct an ideal country and even an ideal world was established. But it's also a secret organization, and the conflict with the Watchmen is actually just that the Truth Society wants to infiltrate South America and is blocked. If it were on American soil, probably the Watchmen would be more miserable. The Truth Society is too deeply rooted in the United States to inquire about many situations. But there is one thing I can tell you, and that is that you didn't follow the clues of the Hong Kong Tong family to find out a paradise island? Paradise Island is in the Caribbean, and the truth will be. They have the ability to deal with their countries regardless of their affiliation, and the US Coast Self-Defense Force and military have ignored some similar smuggling acts, and as for what they are doing on that island, I have not yet inquired about it. But as far as I know, there are a few truths that will support the councillors on the table, and they all seem to have a lot of aspirations for Paradise Island, and there should be at least a vacation project or something. ”

When Zuo Lin frowned and looked suspicious, Insula smiled and said, "These are all trivial things. He groaned for a moment and said, "The CDC has found some strange creatures, fungi. You know the cordyceps in the rainforest? It's a variant of that thing. The fungus feeds on the limbs of the insect and then releases the spores. However, although there are several varieties of this fungus, each of them is aimed at one insect that is extremely abundant in the rainforest, and people don't take it very seriously. That's pretty much the only way to curb ant populations in the rainforest. However, a few days ago, several dead animals were sent to the CDC's lab, and it was found that the fungal variant was able to infect feeding animals, and there were some faint adaptive variants. What's even more frightening is that this change is artificial. Everyone is panicking, if someone gets this kind of thing, it is not as simple as bioterrorism. Spores are airborne. ……”

Zuo Lin's face changed, and he said, "In other words, theoretically, there is a possibility that this spores may harm humans?"

"That's why everybody is so nervous. Just a few monkeys, cats and dogs, the cold-blooded animals in the CDC laboratory will not be so nervous. Insula was very contemptuous.

"And what do you want me to do?" Zuo Lin asked.

"I've got you a sample. You, and your teacher, are the most authoritative masters of medicine and therapeutics in our Druid Council. Maybe you can come up with a solution? Of course, it won't be in vain. ”

"It doesn't matter, strange creatures, the teacher must be very interested. As for me?" said Wulin ashamedly, "I'm not a master of medicine and therapeutics, I'm too far behind. ”

Insula smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I have to talk to you about these things from the standpoint of my position and the official. I applied for retirement and it was denied. Now, instead of retiring, I have been promoted to an officer, increased my military rank, and upgraded my secrecy and command authority. A group of old friends, old bosses and old subordinates took turns to persuade me, but I really couldn't pull this face and said I had to leave. I already have some background in the intelligence department, and I seem to be able to gather intelligence more efficiently in this position. After the Watchmen return to the Council, we must do something to prove that we are strong and sophisticated, and the Truth Society should be a breakthrough. It's a bit too political, and it doesn't seem like it's supposed to be the case between druids, but it's also a reality. Otherwise, we won't be able to fully integrate the power of the Watchers into the original system of the Council, and it will be even more difficult to trust the Watchers as one. Our burdens are heavy. ”
