Negotiations have indeed been a difficult tug-of-war process.

The two sides put forward their own conditions for each other, and then grind one by one, and neither of the two sides loses in a war of words.

Just went back and forth, and they pulled each other until 11 o'clock in the evening.

Although both sides made concessions in the end of the negotiations, they still failed to achieve a mutually acceptable result.

Whether it was the Xinze base or the capital base who had been on the plane for a day, their faces showed fatigue, and Su Fang yawned again and again without an image, which attracted Pang Chong's dissatisfied eyes several times.

In this state, it was difficult to achieve a satisfactory outcome for both sides, and in the end the two sides decided to suspend the negotiations for the time being, and then resume after a night's rest.

Obviously, this meeting will be followed by a separate meeting of the two sides.

After walking out of the conference room, Cheng Mo said to Zhang Quan: "Zhang Quan, arrange for the representatives of the capital to rest." ”

"Guys, please come here!" Zhang Quan led the way in front.

Pang Chong and Cheng Mo nodded, and then took the lead and left.

Zhang Quan took the group of people from the capital base to get off the elevator and out of the office building, and the guards at the gate saluted when they saw Zhang Quan.

The accommodation arranged by the Xinze base for the negotiation team of the capital base is in Building A of the dormitory building, which belongs to the same building as Yi Miao.

"The toiletries are ready for you, if you need anything else, you can find the guards downstairs." Zhang Quan said after the floor they had arranged for them: "In addition, our base is a curfew at ten o'clock, so you should rest early, so don't walk around, otherwise it will not be good to be treated as a zombie." The expression on Zhang Quan's face was very kind: "If there is nothing else, I will go first." ”

Seeing Pang Chong nodding, Zhang Quancai left.

Push open the door to the room.

Although the bed inside is an iron frame bed with two layers, the bedding and pillows on the bed are stacked very neatly.

Someone went in to check it, and the quilts and pillows were clean and odorless, apparently at least they were washed for them, and they saw the neat toiletries placed on the windowsill and the kettle full of hot water under the windowsill.

A girl sat down on the bed and said, "This Xinze base is quite acquainted. ”

The others looked at each other, in fact, they were also a little surprised, they thought that the Xinze base would definitely deliberately make things difficult in all aspects, but now it seems that they are thinking too much. At least for the time being, except for the fact that the other side is too rogue at the negotiation table, these things are still beyond reproach.

Pang Chong's attention was not on these aspects, he paid attention to the patrol team on the road when they came all the way from the office building, and along the way, they encountered four different patrol teams, and there were four guards under each dormitory building, but their building increased to eight people. And these guards are not loose and undisciplined organizations, but look like a disciplined army that has been trained for a long time.

How did the New Ze base manage to do this in such a short period of time?

Put these doubts behind you for a moment.

Pang Chong organized all the negotiators to focus on strategies for tomorrow's negotiations.

And what they don't know is that when they're having a serious meeting. The few people involved in the negotiations at the Xinze base were eating supper in the small cafeteria.

And what they are talking about is not tomorrow's negotiation, but really just pure chatting.

"That girl at the capital base is quite good-looking, with round eyes like a puppy." Jiang Fei said vaguely while sucking the noodles.

An induction pot on the table is gurgling and tumbling, there is a large pot of instant noodles boiling in it, and the tender tofu ground by the base itself with beans, the slippery taste is particularly good, in today's lack of materials, the smooth and tender tofu is simply a gift from God.

Everyone sat around the table, eating and chatting.

After Jiang Fei said this, Wei Yuan suddenly shouted at Jiang Fei's back, "Hey! Zhan Ying, why are you here? ”

Jiang Fei's hand that was scooping noodles in the pot shook a little, and the noodles immediately slid into the pot, and Wei Yuan quickly scooped them into his bowl.

Jiang Fei turned his head to see that there was Zhan Ying's figure in the empty door, and when he turned his head, he saw Wei Yuan still laughing there with his face in his face, and immediately knew that he had been tricked by Wei Yuan.

Everyone chatted for a while, cleaned the noodles and tofu in the pot, drank all the soup to the bottom, ate and drank to their heart's content, and everyone was a little sleepy.

"Don't we need to discuss the matter of tomorrow's negotiation?" When he was ready to end, Liang Qi remembered something important.

Jiang Fei patted his stomach and said, "Don't worry, the boss and Yi Miao have a bottom in their hearts." Let's just eat and drink enough and get a good night's sleep, and then go through the motions tomorrow! ”

Liang Qi couldn't believe Jiang Fei a little, glanced at Yi Miao, and saw Yi Miao nodding, only then did he know that Yi Miao should have a bottom. It's a relief.

Everyone went back to the dormitory together, and each went back to his room, because it was not early, so they all fell into bed and fell asleep.

Compared with the "ease" of the Shinsawa base. However, the capital base held a meeting until 2 o'clock in the morning before going to bed.

At half past eight the next morning, the capital base party, who obviously didn't sleep well, met the energetic Xinze base party in the corridor.

"Let's go to the cafeteria for breakfast together." Yi Miao said.

The capital base was as good as a stream, so they walked together in the direction of the canteen.

Yesterday the base side of the capital arrived at nearly 6 p.m.

At that time, it was meal, and it was curfew time when the meeting was dismissed, so I didn't see the living conditions of the survivors at the base.

And now it's half past eight in the morning, and it's time for breakfast to be distributed in the cafeteria, and you can see that people are flowing out of the dormitory building next to it one after another.

People walked to the cafeteria talking and laughing along the way.

It's just that from time to time, he throws curious glances at the team here.

They looked like passers-by who could be seen everywhere on the road before the end of the world, and there was no sense of insecurity in their expressions, nor did they have a sense of sadness about not having enough to eat, but they were full of hope, and Pang Chong even saw many people with relaxed smiles on their faces, looking full of yearning for the future life. From time to time, guards pass by in groups, and pedestrians will spontaneously give way to them first. And the guards would salute and signal after seeing Yi Miao and his party before continuing to advance. There are also children chasing and playing all the way, making a cheerful clear laughter like a stream.

This kind of scene is no stranger to Pang Chong, and almost every day he sees it in the center of the capital base.

But this is not the center of the capital base, but a small base that has been established for less than a month.

In the outskirts of the capital base, there are more survivors in ragged clothes and yellow muscles, whose faces are always covered with gloomy clouds, as if they are worried about where their next meal will be. Pang Chong had only been to that kind of place once, and he never wanted to go again.

In his imagination, the survivors of the Shinsawa base should be the same as those on the outskirts of the capital base.

It can be said that the negotiation team at the capital base, including Pang Chongsu, was a little shocked by this unexpected scene.

They had mixed emotions and followed the people from the Xinze base into the cafeteria.

The orderly queue inside once again refreshed their original imagination of the Xinze base.

The elderly, the young, pregnant women, and the disabled were all lined up at the special window, and everyone else was queuing at the other window, and there was no one in the cafeteria to maintain order, but people seemed to maintain this line of their own accord, and no one cut the line or shouted loudly. Even the children obediently took the rice bowl at the door and went to the special window to line up.

Seeing their large group of strangers, they only looked at them curiously, and did not show any hostile and repulsive eyes.

Yi Miao took the capital base and his party through the canteen lobby and took the stairs to the small canteen on the second floor.

After going up to the second floor, the capital base found that there were many fewer people on the second floor than on the first floor.

The table is already set for this morning's breakfast.

Everyone is the same amount.

Two fried dough sticks, a bowl of porridge, and a boiled egg.

It's the same as the cafeteria on the first floor.

This breakfast was not a taste of the capital base.

Out of the cafeteria, on the way to the office building, the only female member of the capital base couldn't help but whisper: "Did the Xinze base deliberately do it for us to see?" I don't believe they usually eat so well. "Even they don't get any better breakfast when they're at the base in the capital.

"I don't see it." Another member said, glancing at the people walking a few meters in front of the Xinze base before continuing: "I observed when I passed by the cafeteria on the first floor, and those people were chewing slowly when they were eating, so it can be seen that even if they don't eat today, they must not be far behind." ”

His analysis drew a nod of approval from the few members who heard it.

Their current senses of the Nisawa base have completely overturned their assumptions about the Nisawa base before they came.

Pang Chong, who was walking in the front, couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard the sound of discussion coming from behind.

But Su Fang was still chattering next to him: "Pang Chong, don't underestimate the Xinze base, although this place is so big and the population is not large, but people do have a bit of strength here, the guards alone account for two-fifths of the total population, and they have plenty of supplies here, and I used to have meat porridge to eat every day when I lived here!" "It was a special meal given by Dr. Fang when Su Fang was hospitalized, which helped the wound to recover.

Speaking of this, Su Fang couldn't help but swallow his saliva, to be honest, the porridge in the hospital was really delicious, and he was quite greedy when he thought about it now.

Pang Chong silently quickened his pace, not wanting to listen to Su Fang chattering there.

When I arrived downstairs in the office building, there were already many people lined up in the hall

"Jiang Fei, what are you doing here?" Su Fang asked Jiang Fei who was walking behind curiously.

Yesterday, Yi Miao asked Jiang Fei to take Su Fang to see Cheng Muye, and Su Fang became familiar with Jiang Fei with his excellent "diplomatic" ability as soon as he came and went.

"Oh, these people are people who don't have regular jobs, and the base posts some temporary jobs every day, and they're here to queue up to be temporary workers." Jiang Fei explained.

Su Fang was surprised: "The management of your base can be humanized." ”

Jiang Fei smiled proudly: "Of course." The happiness index of living in our base is high! Yi Miao said that our base should make everyone who lives in the base regard this place as their home. Jiang Fei couldn't help but throw an olive branch to Su Fang: "If you can't get along in the capital in the future, come to our base, you know Yi Miao, and you are my friend, I promise to find you a good job!" ”

Su Fang was about to agree, but suddenly felt the eye knife flying behind him, especially Pang Chong's one, he felt it very strongly! It's clearly piercing his heart! Immediately, he said with a righteous face: "I am a native of the capital in life, and a ghost in the capital in death." Don't try to shake my revolutionary will! ”

Jiang Fei laughed, but he didn't care, anyway, he just said it casually.

It's still yesterday's conference room, it's still yesterday's people, and it's still yesterday's seating order, everyone is seated one by one, don't talk nonsense, and go straight to the point.

Pang Chong said: "After discussion, we have made certain revisions to the conditions put forward yesterday. ”

Cheng Mo made a gesture of please: "Please speak." ”

Pang Chong said: "Regarding the fourth point, we can make certain concessions on the point that we ask Yi Miao to live in the capital. ”

Yi Miao raised her eyebrows slightly.

Pang Chong looked at Yi Miao and continued: "But we require Yi Miao to go to the capital once a month, and we don't restrict your freedom, we only need you to provide us with a blood sample for research." I believe that Miss Yi also knows that this is not for the selfish interests of individuals or a certain force, but for the future of all mankind, and I hope that Miss Yi can carefully consider this. Give us a satisfactory answer. ”

Yi Miao smiled sincerely: "I refuse." ”
