Ever since yesterday's identity as a pseudo-wood evolutionary, Li Ba had already expected that the research institute would definitely send someone to contact him.

And, if nothing else, the people sent were definitely Han Xue and Ding Qianqian. You don't have to think about it to know what they're trying to do.

Sure enough, when I came to the front store, there were six members of the institute in the office. Among them, Han Xue Ding Qianqian is the mainstay, and the remaining four are also Li Ba's old colleagues before the doom.

"Manager Lai"

One of them, a young man named Zhao Chen, immediately greeted Li Ba when he saw him, and he was very enthusiastic.

Li Ba nodded faintly. He doesn't have much affection for this guy. When he was rejected from the city that day, a group of colleagues except Ding Qianqian did not help him intercede, and they were all Mingzhe to protect himself.

Nowadays, there is a great reversal of attitude towards oneself. This kind of person who sees the wind and makes the rudder, he looks down on the most.

Seeing the indifference in Li Ba's eyes, Zhao Chen was a little embarrassed. The other three old colleagues originally wanted to come forward to say hello, but when they saw Zhao Chen deflated at this moment, they didn't want to be bored.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Li Ba arrived, sat at the desk wantonly, and crossed Erlang's legs. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and made a gesture to Ding Qianqian to sit down. He has always been grateful to this woman.

"I believe you should know what we mean."

Han Xue doesn't talk nonsense. He is the deputy leader of the official evolutionary brigade of the settlement and the deputy director of the research institute. She shouldered a heavy responsibility on this trip, and she didn't dare to be careless. Adjust your emotions and get ready to start negotiating with this pesky guy.

Although she would rather never intersect with each other for the rest of her life, the situation forced her to make the decision.

"If you want to pull me into the official, or don't open your mouth, I'm not interested in the slightest."

Li Ba directly sealed Han Xue's mouth, preventing her from having any illusions in this regard.

"Manager Lai"

Ding Qianqian shouted. There was a look of pleading on his face.

"Qianqian"

Li Ba's tough tone changed slightly, and he sighed and said, "You know best what my situation is." When I was desperate, the officials didn't pull me and give me a way to live. It's impossible to get me attached now. ”

After hearing this, Ding Qianqian knew that what Li Ba said was all sincere, thought about it, and persuaded him: "Manager Li, although some official rules are inappropriate, they are also forced to be helpless. I hope you can understand that the Westport resources can't afford more survivors. ”

"I understand"

Li Ba nodded, "If it were me, I would do the same." It's just that I can't calm down this breath in my heart, and let me join the official, but I really can't do it. Qianqian, I hope you can understand my difficulties too"

Although he looked at Ding Qianqian differently, he had a resolute attitude towards joining the official and had no room for maneuver.

As his name suggests, Han Xueren is smart and naturally sees Li Ba's intentions. Speaking of which, this was also the decision she made that day. Now, he has offended a wood-based supernatural person. It's nothing for her personally, but for the whole official, the losses are significant.

"It's okay if you don't want to join, we can discuss the cooperation between the two sides." Han Xue changed her strategy and talked about cooperation. Before coming, she had already reported to the above that the chance of attracting Li Ba to join was very small, and it should be feasible to cooperate.

Seeing that Han Xue had lost her former arrogance, she spoke to herself in a consultative tone. Li Ba was extremely happy in his heart, took the opportunity to fall into the well, waved his hand and said: "If you talk about cooperation, your level is too low, change someone who can call the shots to talk to me"

"You"

The naked contempt made Han Xue tremble with anger, and she stood up, eager to freeze this hateful guy into ice.

"Beauty, don't be impulsive"

The personal guard Yang Jian spoke, seemingly smiling, but in fact, with a warning look, staring at Han Xue and the others.

"Ayuki"

Ding Qianqian hurriedly grabbed Han Xue and signaled with her eyes, asking her not to forget the task assigned above.

Han Xue took a few deep breaths, looked at Li Ba with sharp eyes, and said word by word: "A few days ago, Li Chao disappeared, and there were several people with him, one of whom was Director Xue's nephew. After we sent a large number of people to search, we found their bodies in an abandoned village somewhere in the safe zone. ”

When this woman talked about this, Li Ba felt a sigh in her heart and secretly exclaimed.

"Li Chao's miscellaneous is dead, haha, the wicked have evil retribution, great"

On the surface, Li Ba remained silent and put on a gloating look. After that, he saw Han Xue staring at him, and frowned: "Do you think that I killed him?"

"I wouldn't have doubted you before yesterday. But now, I'm almost sure that you did it" Han Xue said in a resolute tone, insisting that Li Ba was the murderer.

"Manager Li shouldn't be," Ding Qianqian hesitated. The position is not firm. At this moment, he still helps Li Ba speak.

"Bring out the evidence"

Li Ba spread his hands and said with a sneer: "If you can come up with evidence, Lao Tzu will admit it." What do you want to do with it, if you just want to force Lao Tzu to cooperate with you by using something that is nothing, don't talk about it"

The bodies of Li Chao's guys had already been blown to pieces. Li Ba didn't believe that this woman could grab his handle.

And so it is. The bodies of Li Chao and others were found, but they were broken bones, and their identities were judged only from their belongings. The reason why Han Xue dared to lock Li Ba as the murderer was because she knew in her heart that if she asked who hated Li Chao the most in this world, there would be no one else except Li Ba.

Li Ba was just an ordinary survivor before, and Han Xue didn't suspect him. And now, this guy shows the talent of a wood-based ability, and he is still an extremely powerful type. She couldn't help but divert her gaze and locked Li Ba as a suspect.

"We don't plan to pursue this matter"

Han Xue took a deep breath, calmed down, and did not continue to entangle with Li Ba. She knew in her heart that even if the person was killed by Li Ba, with the identity of this guy's wood powerhouse, the high-level of the settlement would definitely not be investigated.

"Let's just talk about cooperation"

"Well, your attitude is not bad now, sit down, we can talk"

Han Xue took a step back. Li Ba also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey. If you force the other party in a hurry, it will not benefit anyone.

"You want to buy mutated food from me?"

The most important role of wood-based abilities is to give birth to mutated foods and assist other evolutionaries to improve their strength. Therefore, for the cooperation content proposed by Han Xue, Li Ba can guess without thinking.

"Not bad"

Han Xue nodded. After Li Ba's attitude changed, her tone was much softer.

"I want to know how much mutated food you can produce in a day."

"This"

Li Ba touched his bald head, and he really didn't know the bottom in his heart. If you make use of the bracelet space as much as possible, it shouldn't be a problem to grow four or five hundred catties of mutated food in one day and one night. If you want to expand production, you can also make full use of the space spirit spring. In this way, the output can be further increased. How much there is depends on whether the amount of jade stored by Li Ba is sufficient.

He thought for a moment and held out two fingers. Didn't say it explicitly, let the other party guess for themselves.

There are many mistakes, he doesn't want to reveal his identity as a pseudo-wood evolutionary.

"Twenty pounds, that's too little."

When Han Xue saw it, she frowned unconsciously.

"How many wood evolutionaries in your research institute can give birth to every day" Li Ba took the opportunity to ask, peeking into the secrets of the wood evolutionaries.

Han Xue didn't doubt him, and blurted out: "According to different abilities, our director can give birth to three hundred catties of mutated grain every day. Another deputy director of Sima, can produce 100 catties of mutated grain every day."

"What level of evolutionary are you going to be?"

"Level 3"

The two asked and answered. The people next to him were all staring at each other and couldn't interject.

"Why are you asking so much" Finally, Han Xue was a little impatient to be asked.

"You, you're just impatient, and it's useless for me to train in vain."

Li Ba put on a sad look. Before the apocalypse, he once cultivated Han Xue to become a marketing talent. However, due to her character, Han Xue's performance has never been good, and her biggest shortcoming is that she is cold and arrogant and impatient.

Of course, Han Xue understood what he meant, and opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but couldn't find a suitable reason.

Li Ba didn't want to embarrass her. After all, it was also his plan to cooperate with the officials of the settlement.

"I can produce about 2780 catties of mutated grain every day. If you're in a good mood, maybe it's more. Li Ba showed his hole cards at this moment.

"How is that possible?"

Han Xue exclaimed. Including the others, they were all shocked.

"Everyone's abilities are different, and the evolution skills I awakened focus on the aspect of giving birth to plants" Li Ba has already had a case and gave a suitable reason.

"If you're in a good mood, how many catties can you generate" Han Xue took a deep breath and asked cautiously. In her heart, she was inexplicably excited, if this cooperation could be negotiated, it would be of too great significance to the official.

Li Ba glanced at her, and an evil smile appeared on his face: "If you are willing to accompany me every day and make my spirit and body comfortable, there should be no problem with three or four hundred catties a day."

With his dirty smile, he didn't have to think much to know what kind of bad idea he had in his heart.

Han Xue's face changed, and she didn't even get mad. On the contrary, Ding Qianqian couldn't look past it, and complained: "Manager Li, you are not serious when you say it, doesn't this clearly bully Ah Xue?"

"I'm telling the truth," Li Ba shrugged.

"My ability is like this, if I am in a good mood, I will have abundant yuan power, and the speed of giving birth to mutated food will also be accelerated" At this time, he bit his mouth and never admitted that he had other intentions.

"As long as you can provide the institute with three hundred and fifty catties of mutated food every day, I, I can find time to accompany you"

Ding Qianqian didn't speak. At this moment, Han Xue actually expressed her position, and she surprised Li Ba. This woman is willing to accompany herself in order to mutate food.

"I heard you right," he said, his face full of surprise.

"I'll take three or four hours a day at most to come over and accompany you to grow plants, don't think about anything else," Han Xue gritted her teeth and said.

Li Ba stared at her for a long time, and two words popped out between his teeth: "Deal"
