Chapter 10: The Olive Branch

In the private room area of the canteen, Li Mo only took Professor Zhang and followed Xu Mingdong into the private room called "Chunlan".

The others, under the leadership of Zhen Ying and Lao Gao, went to cook by themselves.

In fact, today, Xu Mingdong originally just wanted to simply invite Li Mo and them to have a meal to bring them closer to each other.

But who knows, Li Mo directly fell in touch with Professor Fang, and he also broke a fierce news, so that he had to change his mind temporarily.

Therefore, the dinner finally became what it is now, with only four people in the huge private room. In addition to Li Mo and the others, there is another middle-aged officer who has appeared for the first time.

And he is actually the real protagonist behind Xu Mingdong - Duan Xiao Duan, the head of the group.

At this moment, seeing that Li Mo and Professor Zhang were taken into the private room by Xu Mingdong, Head Duan also stood up politely.

Then, when I saw Xu Mingdong, I no longer had that kind of arrogant attitude. It was as if someone had suddenly changed, a tall and neat person, and saluted to Commander Duan.

Then, he turned his head and introduced to Li Mo and Professor Zhang Hongxuan: "Brother Li, Professor Zhang, this is our Duan Group, and we are also one of the five members of the Management Committee of our gathering place, and we are in charge of the defense of our gathering place. I won't beat around the bush with you, before the end of the world, I was a soldier under Duan Tuan, and I was the commander of his guard company. ”

Head Duan couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and then took over and said, "Okay Mingdong, what do you do when you say those useless things." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and shook hands with the two of them successively, "Xiao Li, Professor Zhang, hello, welcome to your team, settled in our Xingcheng gathering place." ”

"Commander Duan is polite." Li Mo also said politely.

Li Mo also knows something about Duan Xiao. The commander of a main regiment of the 102nd Division before the end of the world, and his 215th Regiment was stationed at the division headquarters at that time, which is now the garrison of this military region.

Therefore, after the outbreak of the end times, it was he who gathered the remnants, launched the first counterattack, and finally regained the station.

Perhaps in today's Xingcheng, Duan Xiao is not the highest in terms of military rank. But in terms of the soldiers under his command, it is definitely the most. Otherwise, he would not have become one of the so-called five members of the management committee.

After saying hello, all four sat down. At this time, the wine and food were already on the table.

But after all, it is the end of the world, wine is the most ordinary two-pot head, and the dishes are just a few simple vegetarian stir-fries. As for the meat, it's nothing more than luncheon meat, ham and the like, and at most a canned fish.

As the host, Head Duan was the first to pick up the wine glass, and there was no shelf. said with a smile: "This meal was prepared in a hurry, and there was no time to get anything good, so the two of you will eat it." Come on, this glass of wine will be used by me to catch the wind for the two of you. ”

"In extraordinary times, it is already rare to be able to eat these, and we should thank Head Duan for his hospitality." Li Mo still has that faint appearance, it's not that he pretends to be B, it's really become a habit for a long time.

But even the one sitting in front of him is one of the five most powerful people in the Xingcheng gathering place. But the reborn Li Mo is not as trembling as Professor Zhang next to him.

As for whether you want to worry about this being a Hongmen feast? Li Mo didn't care at all.

After all, people have thousands of guns under their hands, if they really want to deal with themselves, can they be so troublesome?

And Captain Duan seems to be a cool person, and after a glass of wine, he went straight to the point. And he speaks very straightforwardly, without so many twists and turns, and is absolutely in the style of a military man.

"Xiao Li, Professor Zhang, I like to speak straight, so let's go straight to the point.

Ming Dong has already told you about my identity just now, and it is precisely because of this identity that I didn't mean to see you before, otherwise someone would say that I bought people's hearts.

However, when I received the news sent by Ming Dong fifteen minutes ago, I couldn't care so much about it, and I had to come and meet you.

And now, I just want to ask you two people, are you sure that you have to run that research room independently? ”

Hearing this head Duan ask so bluntly, Professor Zhang next to Li Mo couldn't help but be a little vague. I'm really afraid that this person in power is going to support his colleague.

But Li Mo's answer was very calm: "That's right, we must build a research laboratory." ”

"Can't you cooperate with Fang Yun and them?" Head Duan asked again.

Li Mo shook his head and replied more cleanly: "He doesn't have that qualification." ”

"Oh?" Xu is Li Mo was too confident, but it made Duan Xiao very interested, and he couldn't help but say: "Xiao Li, as far as I know, Fang Yun's research seems to have made some breakthroughs.

So I must remind you that if you can't come up with something practical, then the management committee will be forced by Fang Yun's side, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass a resolution for you to set up a research laboratory. ”

Hearing this, Professor Zhang was anxious and couldn't help but say, "But Head Duan, our equipment is all our own, and we don't even have to gather for research materials, so can we only conduct research with your consent?" ”

Duan Xiao glanced at Professor Zhang, who was a little indignant, and casually took a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth, just smiled, but did not respond.

However, Li Mo is not Professor Zhang, who only knows about research, he has already heard another meaning of Duan Xiao's words just now.

When mentioning Professor Fang's research, Duan Xiao did not use an affirmative tone. It can be seen that if he didn't do it on purpose, it means that he can't meddle in that Professor Fang's research room at all.

Or, although Fang Yun's research room has the support of those in power, it is not him Duan Xiao.

So Li Mo waved his hand and calmed Professor Zhang, who was full of anxiety. chuckled and said, "Professor Zhang, don't worry, Head Duan didn't say anything to death." In this way, you can first give a brief introduction to the head of the group, our research plan. ”

Hearing this, Professor Zhang also realized that he was indeed anxious. And after Li Mo's "reminder", he also saw the true meaning of this meal.

The head of Duan and the Xu brigade in front of them made it clear that they were not the same as Professor Fang. So, people are throwing an olive branch.

However, the olive branch is easy to throw, and it may not be able to catch it, but it depends on whether you have the ability. In response to that sentence, striking iron still needs its own hardness. On the contrary, the olive branch may become a big stick, and it can kill you.

Therefore, Professor Zhang Hongxuan knew that he had to seize this opportunity, so he told some of his achievements in detail.

"Commander Duan, Brigade Xu. According to some of the discoveries that Xiao Li provided me at the beginning, we can already confirm that the processing of mutant beast meat with some special sugars can improve the effect of beast meat in promoting evolution......"

Professor Zhang talked endlessly for a long time, and in order to make Duan Xiao and the others understand, he also avoided talking about those theoretical issues as much as possible.

But in the final analysis, what he said was nothing more than the general direction pointed out by Li Mo and him at the beginning. It's just that he basically verified the results through some calculations.

But even if it was just that, it still made Duan Xiao and Xu Mingdong very happy. The former couldn't help but ask: "Have you verified this result?" Or is it just a theoretical assumption? ”

As soon as he heard this, Professor Zhang suddenly didn't know how to answer. It is true that he has not had time to do it, so even if he believes his own inferences a hundred times, how can he make others believe it?

But Li Mo, who was beside him, took out a small bottle of Yida chewing gum from his pocket. Then he poured out a finger-sized piece of black jerky from the bottle.

"This is? Made of mutant beast meat? Captain Duan looked at the jerky and roughly guessed what it was.

Li Mo nodded, "At the beginning, I also listened to our Xingcheng broadcast, and I knew that mutant beast meat can promote evolution. But as you all know, eating it raw is too nauseating. So when I had nothing to do, I wondered if I could find a way to make the raw meat more delicious.

I think it's my luck, I really found out by mistake, after simply soaking it in glucose water, and then air-drying it into jerky, the effect of animal meat will be much higher. ”

Li Mo said this, but he didn't finish it yet. But Duan Xiao couldn't help but interrupt him urgently: "Xiao Li, can you be specific, how much stronger the effect can be?" ”
