Chapter 44: Drinking Tea
Including Xie Guoping, Su Wan and his party were finally arranged in a guest house next to the research institute. Although Su Wan has always been a cold fan, she is a woman after all, even if she did a simple cleaning in the washing room just now, she finally decided to let everyone rest and recuperate before gathering.
Chen Xin naturally couldn't ask for it, although he had awakened to the 3rd level, and his recovery ability was much faster than ordinary people, but the injury on his shoulder when he attacked the corpse nest was always there, and even after trading with the corpse, he also took the initiative to stuff some contraband into the wound, and the result was that the wound worsened.
It was only now that Chen Xin finally had a closed space for himself, and the sudden relaxation made him feel that his whole body began to ache, and he wanted to take a shower, but as soon as he leaned on the single bed for a while, his eyelids sank like lead.
Accompanied by a rhythmic snoring sound, the exhaust fan in Chen Xin's room rang unusually slightly, and a probe was quietly poked out.
"The target is asleep and can go in." Outside the door of Chen Xin's room, a voice sounded in the headphones of a waitress in the cart sorting cart. After hearing the voice, she glanced around, and when she saw that no one was passing by, she picked up a sign hanging on her chest and swept it at Chen Xin's door.
The door opened silently, and the waitress listened intently, and the snoring from inside did not stop, so she dodged into the house.
The waitress looked around, seemed to be very familiar with the layout of the room, and carefully opened several hidden cabinets, and opened several drawers in turn, but the action did not stop.
Chen Xin seemed to hear something, turned over, rolled over the quilt on the side, and began to curl up at the end of the bed.
The hostess stopped moving, for fear of waking Chen Xin, so she didn't even dare to turn her head. Suddenly, she felt a pain in her neck, and she already knew in her heart that something was wrong.
Chen Xin sat up, saw the waitress who was soft on the ground next to the bed, wiped his face, and said to Xie Guoping at the end of the bed, "It's not a good habit to hit the carotid sinus casually, it's easy to die." ”
Xie Guoping smiled and picked up the waitress lying on the ground and threw it on Chen Xin's bed, "If I come a little later, I can't say that my innocence will not be preserved." ”
Chen Xin turned around, his feet had already fallen to the ground, glanced at the waitress who was thrown on the bed by Xie Guoping and said, "I think you are the biggest uncertaintie." What are they looking for? ”
"Eyeballs." Xie Guoping said simply.
Chen Xin also guessed that it should be for the eyeballs, if the "source" and "power" on his body have been exposed, he will definitely not be greeted by such a "kind" action as a waitress sneaking in and searching. After all, the battle for eyeballs is only a matter of distribution of interests within the Titan Corporation, no matter which force gets the eyeballs, in the end, the whole company can enjoy all the cracked results, and other forces just need to pay some price, and even the price paid is just flowing between different factions within the company.
But the "power" and "source" that Chen Xin got from the corpse are very different, not only because they do not belong to the company's public property, but also because these two things can provide great help to personal awakening.
"Shouldn't we be looking for you? The eyeballs are all yours. Chen Xin tidied up his clothes and looked at Xie Guoping with his head down and a little sad.
"Hehe, maybe you have something else hidden here? Su Wan said before that they would gather in an hour, and the time was almost up", Xie Guoping did not continue, although there were three people who sneaked into his room just now, and they were still three low-level awakened people who were five big and three thick, and it was precisely because of this that he was worried that Chen Xin would not be able to cope with it, and after taking a few seconds to settle the three awakened people, he rushed directly to Chen Xin's room.
If he knew that it was just a waitress who went to Chen Xin's room, maybe he would have deliberately gone there late to see if there was a good show.
"And what about her?" Chen Xin listened to Xie Guoping's half-truths, and didn't know if he was referring to the "source" he was hiding, so he didn't answer his words, just pointed to the bed and asked, anyway, the "source" and "force" were hidden in the wound on his shoulder.
It is also strange to say, it stands to reason that if there is a foreign body in the body tissues, it will definitely stimulate the body's immune function, and purulence and swelling are always inevitable, Chen Xin initially only planned to take it out of the underground passage, but he didn't expect the wound to slowly begin to heal, and there was no rejection reaction at all, maybe it was really as Xie Guoping said, they were absorbing their own flesh and blood, and slowly transformed into their own growth.
"It's okay to stay here, as soon as we leave, their people will definitely come to the end." Xie Guoping had already walked to the door.
Hearing what Xie Guoping said, Chen Xin immediately put on the backpack that he had been carrying since the unfinished building laboratory, originally he planned to leave it in the room, although there were no valuable things, and there was no sample organization that the hostess wanted to search for that might be hidden, but the materials in the backpack were all hard to find, and it was better to carry them by himself wherever he went.
Xie Guoping had already gone out to leave, Chen Xin looked at the waitress lying on the bed, and was hesitating to take advantage of it, as soon as he looked up and glanced at the sniper rifle placed at the head of the bed, he remembered that he was still in a dangerous wasteland world, and picked up the sniper rifle with an arrow and chased out the door reflexively.
"I thought you'd stay for a while...... Hehe", Xie Guoping said with a smile to Chen Xin, who was chasing after him.
Chen Xin's heart sank, remembering that the legend in front of him hated the most was the awakened person who had a loss in private affairs, according to his words, "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", if the ability is super strong, but the mental skills are not correct, the harm caused must be greater than that of ordinary people with improper mental skills! And those who have a loss in private affairs will more or less have some handles in the hands of others, and even have some dark sides in their hearts. Therefore, Xie Guoping has always been unapologetic about this kind of awakened person.
"Hard loss", Chen Xin thought to himself. However, the moment he turned around in the room, his hand was really unruly, although it was really only for a short time.
Su Wan agreed with everyone to meet in her room in 1 hour, and when Chen Xin arrived at the door of Su Wan's room, he found that he and Xie Guoping were the last people to arrive, but everyone couldn't enter the door, because Zhang Baixin was sitting at the door with a smile.
Chen Xin naturally wouldn't step over Zhang Baixin and knock on the door without interest, but he was silent as everyone stood in the corridor. However, within a few minutes, there was a sound of Su Wan's door unlocking, Chen Xin looked at his watch, it was exactly 60 minutes after they left.
At this moment, Su Wan had already taken off her isolation gown, but she was still wearing a white coat, but it didn't seem to be the one that had been stained with a lot of blood.
"Harris, old rules." While Zhang Baixin stood up, he picked up a box from under his buttocks and threw it to Harris, who was leaning against the wall of the corridor.
Harris took the box and whistled, skillfully opened a few mechanical locks on the side of the box, took out a sand eagle, tried to pull the sleeve and said, "The goods are good." Enough ammo? ”
"On the compartment, of course." Zhang Baixin tapped the box with his finger and said.
Harris nodded, took out two more handfuls of sand eagles from the box, and threw them to Xiao Jian and the two team leaders who were standing on either side of the corridor. These people are also the only few mercenaries that Su Wan brought underground, Chen Xin can see that several people still have a tacit understanding, and they each stood in the key observation position with a gun without even verbal communication.
But Chen Xin could also see that these mercenaries did not participate in the decision-making level of Su Wan's team, and even themselves were led into the room, and the four of them could only stand guard outside the door.
"You didn't lose anything, did you?" Su Wan lives in a suite, and there is a tea set in the middle of the living room, which is flying back and forth in her hand at the moment.
"With me, I didn't lose it." Xie Guoping picked up the small cup handed to him with one hand and took a sip slowly, "Good tea, orange and transparent, fragrant taste, this is Yunnan black tea, right?" ”
"Captain Xie is really knowledgeable." Su Wan poured a small cup of tea for everyone at the table from left to right.
Looking at the small cup of black tea in front of him, Chen Xin was still very emotional, the fight between the tent mouth and the exquisite tea ceremony in the underground base that he saw in the port settlement before was like being in two worlds, although the two worlds were only separated by a thousand meters.
No one asked how this tea came from, and soon after the outbreak of the virus, the circulation of materials more than a few hundred kilometers was cut off, not to mention the Yunnan black tea thousands of kilometers away, that is, the Longhu green tea near the 01 base, which was not available in Far East City.
The Yunnan black tea in front of me can only be the inventory of the old era of the Far East, and it is definitely used a little less, and the price must be getting higher and higher, but at this moment in Su Wan's room, this Yunnan black tea is like the most ordinary hospitality tea.
Chen Xin couldn't help but be a little curious about Su Wan's wealth. However, Su Wan is very rich, he has always known that the potent gene activity inhibitor worth five million is thrown away, if it is replaced with canned food, even Xie Guoping, who is a 6th order, is estimated to be crushed to death.
"Lin Fei didn't trouble you again, did he?" Su Wan refilled a cup of black tea for Xie Guoping and asked casually.
"At least not." Xie Guoping shook the porcelain teacup in his hand and said with a smile.
"There were two people at the door just now, their behavior was more suspicious, and when they saw me sitting at the door, their heartbeat and breathing increased by more than 20%, but they left directly." Zhang Baixin interjected a sentence and drank all the tea in the cup in one sip. It's not that he doesn't know that this tea is good, but for him, he just knows that the expensive tea is delicious, and he can't say exactly where it tastes. However, since it was Su Wan who made the tea, even if it was expired black tea, Zhang Baixin felt that he would be happy.
Chen Xin looked at Zhang Baixin with disdain, even if he only knew biology and didn't study the tea ceremony at all, but he also knew that a cow like Zhang Baixin must not be able to drink a reason, although he drank it slowly, it seemed that he couldn't drink a reason, but Chen Xin felt that as long as he slowly sipped the tea, it seemed that the taste would be better, even if it was just a mental effect.
"Lin Fei doesn't have a backstage, so she doesn't dare to force it." Su Wan put down the teapot that was a finger high and said slowly, "But she can rely on herself to fight to her current status, and I still admire her kind of strength that will not give up even if she can't see any hope." ”
"So," Su Wan actually learned from Zhang Baixin to drink all the tea in the cup in one gulp, "You must be careful." ”
