Chapter Eighty-Seven: Compromise
Chapter Eighty-Seven: Compromise
"Hehe......"
"The young man has a great mouth!!"
The old man had a faint smile on his face, if he looked at it only on the surface, he couldn't see the slightest bit of unhappiness in his eyes......
Someone who doesn't know what happened before the road comes......
At first glance......
Maybe you will think that this old man is Xia Jian's elder, how amiable he is!!
Seeing this scene, Xia Jian secretly pouted......
I have to take it!!
These old guys, who can climb to this position, really none of them are simple! Not to mention anything else, just their qi cultivation kung fu is far from being comparable to themselves!
But as the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person!
Although Xia Jian knew that Lu Dao, these bigwigs in the base, deep down, might hate themselves so much!
But it is not ...... to give authority to others
"Hehe......"
At the moment, he also smiled faintly, neither humble nor arrogant: "Where! Where!! Boy, I was just stating a fact......"
After saying this, Xia Jian didn't forget to glance meaningfully at the direction where Fan Wenbin was, as if to say: Boy, how about it, if you don't believe it, you can come and try it, see if I can slap you to death!
Fan Wenbin grew up, how could he have been looked at like this......
At the moment, he was angry, and his neck was red......
But after being glared at by his old bean, Fan Wenbin still didn't dare to disobey his father's will after all. Just don't look away and stop looking at Xia Jian......
Seeing this, Xia Jian couldn't help but be disappointed......
Now that it has been forced to be high-profile. Xia Jian originally planned to use this Fan Wenbin to establish a prestige! I didn't expect this kid to be fooled at all......
"Ahem......"
As if he had seen through Xia Jian's intentions, the old man coughed lightly, attracting the attention of everyone at the scene to himself......
"Old decay Nie Shaoping, everyone politely calls Old Nie ......"
"I don't know if this leader is ......"
Nie Shaoping......
Before the Day of Apocalypse, he was one of the few people in the highest game......
For most people in China, this name can be regarded as thunderous......
No way......
Who let his name appear all the time on the Seven O'Clock News and on the Internet!!
Pity......
Today, Nie Lao met Xia Jian, who has always watched TV. A dead house that never pays attention to the news!
Therefore, for Xia Jian, Nie Lao is just an old man who used to be in a high position. In essence, it is no different from Hu Minghai and He Jianlong......
Since this is the case, Xia Jian naturally won't make any fuss......
"Xia Jian......"
"What ...... was invited to Lianyang to participate in the conference?"
Xia Jianyan introduced himself concisely, and by the way, he also said the purpose of his visit this time......
After all, high-profile is high-profile!
You can't make a mistake because of some misunderstandings. Relations with the military are completely stiffened......
…………
Really......
Xia Jian understood. In the crowd that was not at the base, it stirred up half a wave......
Until Xia Jian explained his intentions......
It can be very obvious that the original tense and imminent atmosphere has suddenly become a lot more relaxed......
If you prick up your ears and listen carefully, you can even hear the sound of exhalation!!
The hearts that hang in everyone's throat can finally fall back......
In everyone's opinion, although Xia Jian has always behaved relatively strongly! But since Xia Jian was able to come here to attend the conference because of an invitation. That proves that Xia Jian actually still has the Yanjing military base in his eyes!!
Just that, that's enough!!
Of course......
It's not that no one doubts Xia Jian's identity!!
But then. Nie Lao's words completely dispelled the doubts in the hearts of the most reluctant people......
"Xia Jian......"
Elder Nie suddenly frowned thoughtfully......
The name felt familiar to him, but it didn't have too deep an image, and for a while, he didn't even come up with it......
Until the other next to him muttered something silently beside him......
Nie Lao suddenly realized and said in surprise: "Oh!! It turns out that you are the Xia Jian of the Pearl Naval Base? ”
"Hmm!!"
Xia Jian nodded lightly: "That's right!" That's ...... me."
Elder Nie swept Xia Jian up and down, with some kind of inexplicable brilliance in his eyes......
After a long time, he sighed: "It's amazing! If I remember correctly, you would be the youngest general in our country!! ”
Speaking of this, Nie Lao's tone changed, and he said in a joking tone: "What? Why did you come so late this time? It can't be that we dislike the low rank we gave, right?! ”
All right......
Nie Lao's words seemed like he was joking......
But actually, there is a little bit of temptation in it!!
If Xia Jian admits that he is a soldier!
What happened in the base before that was undoubtedly a misunderstanding, your own people beat your own people! It's not a misunderstanding......
But if Xia Jian refuses to admit that he is a soldier!
Then we have to talk about it next!!
Fortunately, Xia Jian is not a rookie who didn't understand anything at the beginning, so he naturally heard the sound of Nie's old words......
At the moment, he also smiled: "Elder Nie, you can't spread rumors!" ”
"As soon as I was notified, I rushed over......
"As for why I'm here so late, I think you'll have to ask Colonel Li Muyun......"
"Is that so......"
Nie Lao smiled and nodded, "Then turn around, I really have to ask Li Muyun about that kid ......."
After that......
Nie Lao completely put aside this topic and refocused his gaze on King Kong......
"Major General Xia......"
"This little thing is your pet?"
Dot......
Hearing Nie Lao's name for King Kong. When King Kong went crazy in their minds, the huge and terrifying size actually gave birth to an extremely ridiculous feeling......
Isn't it ridiculous!
Who would call a giant beast dozens of meters tall. Something small!!
"Woo woo woo ......"
Even King Kong didn't seem to be satisfied with Nie Lao's name for him, and grinned at him in protest......
It suddenly made those who had been guarding Nie Lao's side nervous......
"Hmmm......"
But immediately, Xia Jian snorted coldly......
King Kong, who was still very arrogant just now, suddenly shuddered, shrunk his neck, and pretended to be pitiful quite humanely. It looks like I've been wronged!!
When King Kong was honest, Xia Jian turned his head and smiled apologetically at Nie Lao: "I'm really embarrassed!" This little guy's name is King Kong. It's only been a long time since it was subdued, and it's still a bit wild......"
"It's not ......"
"This morning, I slipped here without paying attention......
"It told me just now. It was just here to open its eyes. As a result, some people tried to subdue it, which caused such a big disaster......"
King Kong's pitiful appearance immediately amused Nie Lao, at this time, King Kong, where is there still the monstrous beast flame half a minute ago, and it is unstoppable!!
"Ha Lu Ha ......"
"Is this little guy's name King Kong?"
"Not bad! Not bad!! It's a fitting name......"
Speaking of this, Nie Lao paused slightly. Then his tone changed, and he sighed: "Since it has only been accepted for a short time." That's a bit of a temper, it's understandable......"
"Today's incident, you can't blame the little guy ......"
Elder Nie is also a decisive person, and after just thinking about it for a while, he recognized the reason that Xia Jian said......
In a nutshell......
Today's King Kong attack on the base is in the past here, but I pity those unlucky people who hung up in this conflict!!
But then again......
The reason why Elder Nie made this choice was actually expected......
Think about it......
A few ordinary warriors, and the sacrifice of some innocuous survivors, in exchange for the addition of a king-level powerhouse, is there any good choice for this kind of thing?
If it is placed before the Great Destruction Day, you may have to care about public opinion......
But now it's the end of the world......
The end of the world where strength is respected!!
The weak can't even control life and death by themselves, where do they have any right to speak......
……………………
Xia Jian and Nie Lao's simple exchange can be regarded as setting the tone of today's matter......
Next......
On behalf of the entire Lianyang base, Nie Lao welcomed the arrival of Xia Jian and Major General Xia......
It was supposed to be a welcome ceremony!
However, considering that under the wanton raid of King Kong, the base was seriously damaged and so many people died, it is still a bit inappropriate to hold a welcome ceremony at this time!
So after some discussion, this welcome ceremony was simply omitted......
Wait until tomorrow......
After the base cleaned up the mess left by King Kong, it prepared a banquet for Major General Xia......
……………………
More than ten minutes later......
A large number of heavily armed soldiers poured out of the camp......
Soon it spread all over the Lianyang base......
Thanks to the efforts of these soldiers, those individuals who originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to make trouble and do evil, or the power of the force, were quickly suppressed......
The chaotic base, gradually restored order......
The survivors who fled also returned to the base one after another......
A large number of survivors appeared on the ruins, began to clean up the ruins, and soon brand new tents were erected on these ruins......
The advantage of large numbers of people is vividly reflected at this moment......
Only the crumbling gates were riddled with holes......
Because the city gate is so badly damaged and the amount of work is too large, I am afraid that it will not be possible to restore it to its original state without spending a week or two......
……
"Hoo ......"
Standing on top of the dilapidated city wall, Ma Tao exhaled deeply......
At this moment......
Ma Tao is already a little unclear. Should I be happy or sad......
Condescendingly, his gaze slowly swept over the open space near the city gate......
Nearly half an hour has passed since the battle. After such a long time, the burning sea of fire has long been extinguished, and there is no spark in sight on the entire battlefield......
The clouds in the sky are gone......
The thick smoke that shrouded the sky over the base also dissipated under the blowing of the breeze......
Thousands of brilliance. Falling ......
But this sunshine, which should have been warm, did not make Ma Tao feel half a point of warmth......
……
As an officer on duty today......
Ma Tao is unlucky!!
The appearance of a chimpanzee. Not only did the construction of the entire base go back by almost a month! The bodies of hundreds of soldiers and survivors were thrown onto the pyre outside the base......
Although there are too many force majeure factors. But as an officer on duty today!
Ma Tao on all this. There is still an unshirkable responsibility!!
And......
There is one more thing that has to be highlighted......
That is, after this incident, less than one-fifth of Ma Tao's original subordinates are still alive......
Even the second lieutenant, who had a good relationship with him, didn't survive because of his poor strength!!
But in the same way, Ma Tao is lucky......
Because after a conversation between Xia Jian and Nie Lao. This incident was later defined as a misunderstanding......
Even the owner of the chimpanzee. Xia Jian has also changed into Major General Xia!!
In this case, naturally there will be no one, Lamatao will be punished!!
Of course......
Ma Tao's current thoughts are not on this......
What Ma Tao is thinking about now is the matter of his old squad leader......
Since the end of the battle, the dozen or so reformed warriors have been recovered......
During the period after the war, Ma Tao went to inquire about the information about these reformed soldiers......
Maybe it's because it's been exposed!
Originally, Ma Tao thought it was impossible to find out some top-secret information about the transformed soldiers, but this time, Ma Tao easily found out a lot of ......
There is a lot of messy information......
But after Ma Tao's own sorting and summing up, there are probably the following points......
These transformed warriors are all transformed from dead general-level powerhouses!!
Although these reformed warriors still maintain their physical functions, and even some of them, on the surface, look no different from normal people, but in fact, they can no longer be called human!
More accurately, they should be called machines!!
A robot that does not have a mind of its own, a robot that commands and obeys orders!!
Moreover, it is rumored that the upper echelons seem to be planning to implement this kind of transformation of soldiers in the active army after the transformation technique matures......
In addition, according to the news that Ma Tao just heard......
In the previous battle, due to the extremely strong electric shock, those reformed fighters were extremely badly damaged......
Nearly half of the reformed fighters are even completely brain dead, waiting to be scrapped directly!
But......
There is also a small group of reformed warriors who can be cured and used again......
And among the soldiers who can be cured in this part, there happens to be Ma Tao's old squad leader!!
It stands to reason that I should be very happy that I was not held accountable this time!
But just think about those dead subordinates, and the old squad leader......
Ma Tao couldn't be happier......
………………
Meanwhile......
Located in a conference room at the Lianyang base......
The roar of rage was deafening and resounded throughout the room......
"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on?"
"Didn't your intelligence say that the mutated creatures in that area of Pearl City were very powerful?"
"Didn't your intelligence say that it was impossible for them to open the gates of the underground fortifications?"
"Didn't your intelligence say that with the 015 military base in the way, it is impossible for them to develop too fast?"
"Now how do you explain it?"
"Do you still want to tell me that this Xia Jian is just a mutant at the peak of the general level?"
"Do you still want to tell me that there are only a dozen general-level evolutionaries in their base, and the more than 100 people brought by Xia Jian were all subdued by him halfway?"
"Is it ......?"
It was none other than Nie Shaoping, who had a good conversation with Major General Xia Jianxia before......
Merely......
At this time, Nie Shaoping was 108,000 miles away from the amiable and good man he was before......
I can't help Nie Shaoping not get angry!!
In the information provided by the intelligence department, Xia Jian's strength, although it is good, is only good, and it is not enough to pose any threat to the base......
But what about the real situation now?
Xia Jian's strength is not bad!!
This is clearly a rhythm to break through the sky, okay!!
Not to mention posing a threat to the base, as long as Xia Jian is willing and willing to pay a certain price, there will be no problem even if he destroys the Lianyang base......
The huge mistake in intelligence has led to the base being so passive today......
So much so that Nie Shaoping, the big leader of the highest bureau, had to lower his posture, compromise and stabilize Xia Jian for the time being......
How can Nie Shaoping not be angry......
In fact, it's not just Nie Shaoping's fire!!
There are no bigwigs here who are not popular......
However, they don't have the guts for the time being, and they are majestic in front of Nie Shaoping......
I can only sit in my respective seats with gloomy faces, smoking fiercely, as if I want to vent all my dissatisfaction on the cigarette in my hand!
And across the table......
Near the corner of the wall, two men, one woman, one lieutenant general, and two major generals were standing there trembling, silent......
These two men and one woman are none other than them!
It is the three leaders in charge of intelligence work in the Lianyang base!! The male lieutenant general is the big head, and the man and woman behind him are the small heads......
All the information about Xia Jian was collected by them......
Such a big basket this time!
As a result, all the high-level leaders have lost face, and they naturally have to take full responsibility......
Five minutes later......
Nie Shaoping finally got tired of scolding, gasped, and sat down in his chair......
"Okay......"
"Let's discuss what we should do now!!"
After speaking, Nie Shaoping stopped speaking, but closed his eyes and rested......
Obviously, the fire just now made him tired enough......
