Chapter 265: Acquisition of the Base
Under Shao Liwen's auspices, the transfer of the mecha hunters was quickly completed, and inside the Shattered Dome base, both intact and scrapped mechs were all hoisted onto the carrier helicopter and prepared to be sent to the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force forward base in Hawaii.
Everyone else in the base was very surprised by this result, after all, now that the monsters had just been wiped out, it was the best time to carry out the plan to blow up the wormhole, how could they send away all the mechs at this time?
Chuck Hansen, the driver of the Eureka Raiders, was the first to find Pantcoster and confronted him:
"Sir, what the hell is going on? Why sell these mechs? β
In his excitement, he even stepped forward and grabbed Pantcoster by the collar, and he had the momentum to swear not to give up without asking for an explanation.
Pantcoster pushed him away mercilessly, and explained coldly:
"This matter is not my decision, you have an opinion to go to the top management of PPDC!"
Pantcoster himself was on fire because of this incident, and Chuck could be said to have hit the muzzle of the gun.
Just as these two grumpy tempers were about to hit the earth with Mars, the adjutant of Pantcoster hurried over and said anxiously:
"Sir, something has happened! You'll have to come and check it out! β
With that, the adjutant took the two to the lobby of the Shattered Dome base, where a large crowd was already gathered in front of the television, talking and not knowing what to say.
"What's going on?" Pantcoster stepped forward and asked.
Raleigh stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's over." β
I saw a reporter on TV reporting in front of the United Nations building: "The latest news, the United Nations has successfully passed an agreement to abolish the legal status of the Pan Pacific Defense Corps, or PPDC. From now on, the PPDC will no longer be a military operations arm directly under the United Nations and will not be entitled to special treatment from the United NationsΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Although Pantcoster had a premonition of this, he still didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
He finally understood why PPDC would sell all the Mecha Hunters so simply, which was completely a last run away for them, of course, they could sell whatever they could.
As a result, even this Shattered Dome base may no longer belong to Pantcost, after all, they no longer enjoy the special treatment of the United Nations direct force.
"What are we going to do next?" The staff in the Shattered Dome base asked nervously, just overnight, even the military base where they were located was about to change hands.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
Pantcoster could only do his best to maintain order, because even he didn't know what was going to happen next.
At this time, Shao Liwen came over again, and said unceremoniously to everyone: "All of you have been co-opted, now go back to work, don't talk crookedly here." β
Pantcoster looked back and asked in surprise, "Could it be that you bought this place too?" β
Shao Liwen smiled coldly, pointed to the side and said, "It's not me, it's him." β
"What!?"
Everyone looked at Shao Liwen's fingers, and suddenly showed even more surprised expressions, because it was none other than Qiao Lu who bought this place.
At this moment, Qiao Lu suddenly became strange in front of Pantcost, he had always thought that Qiao Lu was just an excellent mecha pilot, and the assets of only one pilot should be said to be far from enough to buy the entire Shattered Dome Base, this price is higher than all the mechs here combined.
"How did you ββ??"
Before Pantcoster could finish speaking, Qiao Lu interrupted him and said, "You don't have to worry about this, now I will reappoint you as the supreme commander of this base and continue to take charge of the daily affairs here." β
Seeing Shao Liwen's serious expression on the side, everyone realized that this was not a joke, Qiao Lu was really the new owner of this Broken Dome Base.
But what's going on exactly? Even Shao Liwen only paid for the mecha hunters in the base, why did Qiao Lu buy the entire base so lightly?
What the hell is he!?
Pantcost, who thought he had figured out the details of Qiao's law, suddenly felt that everything had become confusing again.
Shao Liwen can have such courage because she is the eldest lady of Shaw Brothers Industries, but what is the matter with Qiao Lu? Can a proud woman like Shao Liwen stand up and speak for him?
The reason for Qiao Lu's sudden acquisition of this Broken Dome base is naturally to ensure that the clues of Newton and Herman's pioneer civilization are not broken, and Pantcoster promised him that he will try to use neural sympathy equipment to wake up these two people, which means that it is still possible for him to obtain information about the pioneer civilization from here.
As for getting the right to use this Broken Dome base from PPDC, it was really just a matter of words to him.
"Okay guys, let's all go back to work." Qiao Lu also said to the others gathered here, "From now on, you have nothing to do with PPDC. β
Although everyone was still very puzzled, when they saw that Shao Liwen, who was domineering just now, was also respectful to Qiao Lu, they had to believe that all this was true.
Who can make the eldest lady of Shaw Industries have to put down the shelf and be careful? Is Jo Lu really just an ordinary mech pilot?
In any case, they just waited for them to go back to work honestly, and it was a good thing for them not to lose their jobs because of this turmoil.
Qiao Lu stepped forward and told Panthcoster: "The plan you told me before to try to wake up Newton and Herman can be continued, and once it succeeds, notify me immediately, this is my only request to you." β
Pantcoster could not accept this change of status for a while, and he asked with a look of incredulity:
"You're more than just a mech pilot, aren't you?"
Qiao Lu smiled and said, "Aren't you just a mecha hunter pilot at the beginning?" What's so weird. β
Pantcoster shook his head and said, "But until now, I have not had the right to enter the upper echelons of the PPDC, and I have always been just a pawn under them. But you're different, completely different from me. β
"That's just because you chose the wrong place, and getting into the top of the PPDC is like running for president, and whether you succeed or not depends on how much money you spend, which is doomed to miss you."
Qiao Lu stepped forward and patted Pantcoster on the shoulder and said, "But it's different now, stay here and work hard, and soon you will find that everything is different." β
