Chapter 29: Parting Ways
There is naturally a difference between joining the Titan Company and joining Su Wan's private research team, but the identification in the cross-force negotiation is no different, and the people who are both regarded as the Titan Company are also protected by the Titan Company.
It's just that if you are a pure researcher, the treatment will be much less, the company's various benefits will not be rationed by the company, and the remuneration must depend on the employer, that is, Su Wan's mood, and even after completing the various reward tasks issued by the company, you must give the employer part of the task remuneration.
But for Chen Xin, joining Su Wan's research team may be better than becoming a regular employee of the company, and he still has some resistance to Titan in his heart.
The "Wasteland Survival Handbook" describes in great detail the various rules and regulations in the company, which must be followed by everyone from the grassroots employees to the board of directors, and there is no room for flexibility or human touch.
On top of that, in the later stages, the protagonist of the original book discovers that all the official members of the company have a chip on their bodies, and although it plays a great role in protecting the members, no one likes to have an extra device in their body that can monitor them anytime and anywhere.
Chen Xin was no exception, even if he didn't know if Titan had already implemented such a policy now.
Therefore, after Su Wan expressed that she was just asking him to join the research institute, Chen Xin directly nodded and agreed. Of course, Chen Xin has no choice, although including Xie Guoping, there are only 5 people left in the military team, which is still a force to be reckoned with, even if the number of people in the Titan Company is several times that of the other party, it is a good positive not to directly attack the black hand, and it is an irresistible existence for Chen Xin, so Chen Xin can't agree.
Feng Dongqing was still looking at him from the sidelines, and seeing that Chen Xin had already expressed his position, he lowered his head and asked Xie Guoping in a low voice: "Head, do you want to ......?"
Xie Guoping shook his head and waved his hand to signal Feng Dongqing not to continue, "Let's go, the night is long and dreamy." ”
After speaking, his eyes glanced towards the darkness behind him, intentionally or unintentionally.
Chen Xin watched Xie Guoping walk towards him, obviously going through the crowd and walking in the direction where Haiyan and the others had come before. However, the road that you have already explored is definitely safer than the unfamiliar road, and it is worth choosing to turn back to the wastewater treatment plant first and then follow the road you came from, even if it is a detour.
"Remember, the straight road is a trick, and steel is not a hook!"
When passing by, Chen Xin actually heard Xie Guoping say something softly, but Xie Guoping didn't stop, and he didn't know if he said it to himself, but Chen Xin couldn't stop this legend and ask clearly, so he could only read it a few times and memorize it in his heart.
The soldiers of the military department naturally only looked at Xie Guoping, and when they saw that he had left, the rest of the people naturally followed, and after Liuzi threw down a specimen box, he did not leave the back to the people of the Titan Company, but walked side by side with Dongqing at the end, staring at Su Wan and Zhang Baixin, with his back to Xie Guoping, and slowly retreated, the gun in his hand was even more clenched to the side.
For the people of Titan Company, as soon as the people from the military department left, only Chen Xin was left as an outsider.
"Dr. Su, don't you want to tell us about the benefits of the institute?" Although I don't want to join, I must also join Su Wan's research team, but I still have to ask about the rules before joining, in case there are really rules and regulations that I can't accept, I can't say that I can only find a chance to go to the wild alone to find a life.
Hearing Chen Xin's question, Su Wan didn't have any impatience or joyful expression, as if the HR of the company in the old era was communicating with job seekers, "The research institute does not raise idlers, there is as much remuneration as there are research results, and everything is clearly priced, but all research results are patented by the research institute, and direct transactions with the company are not allowed." ”
"If it doesn't come out in a few weeks, won't you starve to death?" Chen Xin asked incredulously.
Su Wan frowned and said, "You can have one tube of protein gel every day, and there is no limit to the amount of pure water." Hungry. ”
Chen Xin pursed his lips, he knew what protein glue was, although it could ensure nutrition, but the taste was so bad that it was unspeakable, it was okay to eat a meal once in a while, if he fed on this every day, it was estimated that even zombie meat could be eaten.
"Chen Xin, what are Feng Dongqing looking for?" Su Wan asked lightly.
The drama is finally here! Chen Xin knew that Su Wan would not miss the opportunity to ask about the "contraband" incident.
Fortunately, Feng Dongqing's actions and Xie Guoping's words have already given him a good annotation, proving that he does not have the "contraband" they are pursuing.
This is also the reason why the Titan Company is not strong, but it will definitely not be a simple thing to make the soldiers of the military department pay so much attention, and it is enough to understand some information.
Chen Xin naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to tell Su Wan everything he knew, and reluctantly put on a blank expression and said, "I don't know either...... I followed you all the way, and then after chasing the corpse, I ran into ...... after chasing" Chen Xin pointed at the scarface warrior on the side with an embarrassed face, he didn't know the other party's name yet.
"Harris!" The Scarface Warrior saw Chen Xin pointing at him and paused, and reported his name, which was actually a foreigner.
"And what do you think they're looking for?" Su Wan was obviously not satisfied with Chen Xin's answer.
Chen Xin knew that if he didn't say something, it was estimated that it would be difficult to explain the past, but when the sixth son threw down the specimen box just now, he muttered a sentence "corpse queen", which was obviously heard by everyone present.
"I guess, they found the body behind the corpse, but there should be something missing, thinking ......" Chen Xin paused and looked at Su Wan, who was still expressionless, "I took it." ”
"But you also know, with my body, it's possible to stop it, stay for a few minutes, and it will definitely not work to kill such a ferocious corpse." Chen Xin gestured at the muscles in his chest and said.
Su Wan followed Chen Xin's hand, glanced at his chest muscles, and said lightly, "Don't be too arrogant, third-order awakened people, there may be no more than 5 people in my team who can beat you." ”
After speaking, his eyes glanced at the last position of the line.
Chen Xin wanted to say something more, but Su Wan took out two syringes from her pocket, stuffed them into Chen Xin's hand, and turned to leave.
"Two jars of 20ml of blood, if you draw it, you will give it to Zhang Baixin, and count it as your research results." Su Wan said as she walked away with her back to Chen Xin.
In the previous battle at the wastewater treatment plant, thanks to the cover of a large number of thermal weapons, the team of the Titan Company did not die much, mainly the soldiers who blew themselves up in the assault group and the sniper group, and the military team exceeded three times the battle loss rate.
However, Titan provided all the weapons and ammunition expenditures for this storm, especially the cover operation of the initial cover group, which has exhausted all the grenades, and the remaining portable heavy weapons have almost no ammunition.
It can be said that the overall combat power is already weaker than when it was in the basement, and at least it is no longer possible to form a covering fire blockade.
Searchlights and other lighting equipment are still easy to use, as long as two military flashlights, the front and rear passages can be illuminated as if it were dawn.
"Hey, aren't you going back?" Chen Xin saw that the Titan Company's team had been reorganized, and the direction of the opening turned out to be the direction of the turntable, so he asked loudly, but he didn't expect anyone to answer.
Sure enough, no one answered Chen Xin, and everyone still checked the weapons in their hands, familiar with the temporary formation commander.
"The company has offered a price to the corpse! 1 million dead, 3 million alive! Harris has a good impression of Chen Xin, but he has a good impression of all researchers, and he always thinks that people who can read are amazing, and he saw that no one paid attention to Chen Xin, so he replied.
Chen Xin naturally knew that the Titan Company had its own trading currency, usually 1 yuan was a canned piece of artificial meat. While it's impossible for someone to actually exchange 3 million cans of meat, they can exchange some powerful thermal weapons, company contributions, and even women! 3 million definitely has more purchasing power than 3 million in the old era, and it is no wonder that Su Wan still has to search for the corpse behind the corpse.
-------------
In the underground passage, there was not a trace of light, and the only source of light was the soldiers of the military headquarters who formed a circle in the middle of the passage.
"Head, the pulse is gone." Feng Dongqing, who was squatting on the ground, touched the neck of a soldier lying on the ground, shook his head, raised his head and whispered to Xie Guoping beside him.
Xie Guoping was silent for a while, his eyes stared at the soldier's face, it was the sixth son! But he didn't seem to see anything, and a few wrinkles on his swarthy face trembled, like a bitter smile.
Xie Guoping stroked Liuzi's face, his eyes were actually closed, and his frightened expression before his death seemed to ease.
"The sixth son and you have followed me from the old times to the present, and there are only a few of you left in the group back then, right?" The previous sad look on Xie Guoping's face had all disappeared, as if it was a woodcut, and a cold air floated all over his face.
"Yes! Except for the old Tang who stayed in the 01 base, he is here. Dongqing didn't stand up, still holding Liuzi's body, although his face didn't show a trace of sadness, he could clearly sense that something was tearing in his depths.
Liuzi and he were comrades-in-arms who enlisted in the same period, but he was lucky enough to climb to the battalion officer, which is not only appreciated by the regiment commander, but it is also a very important reason why Liuzi has always helped himself.
In the military department, even Haiyan is separated from him by one layer, except for the regiment commander, he only believes in Liuzi, although his mouth is a little tricky, but as long as he is buried in the charge during the mission, he can give his back to Liuzi, and he will never be disappointed and worried.
It's just that now, he can only hug this not tall man. Thinking of the future, I instantly felt a little lonely, and in the future, there was probably no one who could help him look behind him with a sniper.
"The four of you walk side by side in front, run as fast as you can, don't look back!" Xie Guoping glanced at the darkness behind him, his eyes were like eagle falcons, and he said categorically.
"Captain! ......" Haiyan was about to say something, but Xie Guoping raised his hand to stop her.
"Dongqing, you have a lot of strength, but Liuzi's body still bothers you to carry it back. If...... I mean, if you feel something close, you can leave your sixth son behind and go back yourself, and I'll find a way to take him home. The dagger had already appeared in Xie Guoping's hand again.
"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! Feng Dongqing didn't say anything, and saluted Xie Guoping.
Several other soldiers also stood up, saluted Xie Guoping, and turned to run forward.
