Chapter 213: Proposal

After processing several urgent documents, Zheng Yimu walked into his small office and pressed a series of codes on his communication device. After waiting for a few seconds, Teng Bai’s voice came from the other end.

"What’s wrong?" Teng Bai’s voice came, followed by a series of metal sounds.

Hearing the roar of zombies coming from the communication device, Zheng Yimu stopped talking nonsense and said, "Brother Teng, Commander Mao wants you to go to the Wu Lin base. He wants you to negotiate with Captain Xiu."

In the center of the battlefield, Teng Bai shot a group of zombies with metal bullets and asked calmly: "What should I negotiate with Captain Xiu?"

"Regarding the merger of our base into the Wu Lin Base." Zheng Yimu replied calmly.

As soon as these words came out, Teng Bai was silent for a few seconds. Zheng Yimu waited patiently, listening to the crashes and gunshots coming from the communication device. After waiting for two minutes, Teng Bai said, "My maternal uncle wants us to join the Wu Lin base?"

"Yes. With our existing manpower and supplies, it is simply impossible to protect the common people. Commander Mao made this decision considering the best for the common people and the safety of our soldiers." Zheng Yimu replied with a sigh.

Knowing that this decision was the right one, Teng Bai sighed and said, "All right. I’m going to the Wu Lin base to talk to Captain Xiu about this matter. How many people will follow us to join Wu Lin base?"

Zheng Yimu looked out from the small window and saw crowds of people outside. He thought for a while and replied: "At most, only seventy percent of the soldiers, medical staff, and scientists will join us. As for the supernatural beings and ordinary people, they chose to leave."

Hearing this number, Teng Bai couldn’t help but curse. He gritted his teeth and said, "I understand. I will contact you after I make it clear to Captain Xiu. I’m very busy now, so I won’t talk to you."

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Yimu heard a beeping sound. Putting down the communication device, he stood there and watched the people lining up outside to receive the last supplies before they left. He shook his head and muttered: "It’s really not worth risking your life for these people."

While the soldiers in the military base are busy, other bases near S City are also busy preparing to defend against the zombie horde. At the same time, Zhu Lin and the others were also busy fighting zombies and mutants. While everyone was busy, time flew by without anyone realizing it.

Five days later, in her bedroom, Zhu Lin ended her cultivation and opened her eyes. Exhaling a breath of turbid air, she looked out of the floor-to-ceiling glass window and saw that the sky outside was still dark.

Turning to look at the clock on the bedside table, she frowned when she realized it was already eight in the morning. When she was sitting cross-legged on the carpeted floor, Tu Tu suddenly came out from her spiritual palace carrying a jade jar.

Putting the jade jar on the ground, Tu Tu looked at her and said, "Master, this is the pickled Qi berries I made for you."

Zhu Lin rubbed Tu Tu’s head, then opened the jar’s seal and picked a pickled Qi berry. She tasted it for a while, then nodded and said, "This is delicious. Thank you, Tu Tu."

Tu Tu put its front paws on her legs and said, "As long as you like it, I will make it for you, Master."

Zhu Lin smiled at her rabbit and said, "Since you have worked hard these days, I will give you this to reward you."

After speaking, Zhu Lin touched the middle of Tu Tu’s forehead with her index finger and middle finger. The next second, divine energy flowed into Tu Tu’s forehead and entered its dantian. Ten minutes later, Zhu Lin retracted her fingers and stood up.

Tu Tu checked its dantian, looked at her in surprise, and said, "Thank you, Master."

Zhu Lin nodded, then put the jade jar into her ice flower pendant and walked out of her bedroom. Behind her, Tu Tu followed while asking, "Master, why is it so dark outside?"

Zhu Lin shook her head and said, "I don’t know."

While the two of them were talking, Xiu Wu saw them and waved at them from downstairs. Looking at Teng Bai and Song Chengsu sitting on the sofa, Zhu Lin raised her eyebrows and asked, "It’s rare to have guests these days."

Sitting down next to Xiu Wu, Zhu Lin looked at Teng Bai and asked, "Captain Teng, it must be very difficult for you to come visit us when we are still surrounded by zombies and mutants."

Teng Bai smiled and said, "It is indeed not easy, but we have an important matter to discuss with Captain Xiu."

Zhu Lin raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "What kind of important matter could make Captain Teng and Captain Song take great risks to meet with Xiu Wu?"

Hearing her question, Song Chengsu smiled and said, "We came here as representatives of the military base to propose a merger with the Wu Lin Base."

As soon as these words came out, Xiu Wu and Zhu Lin looked at each other. Xiu Wu was a little surprised that Mao Yan would give up their base and propose to merge with them. If they can get military vehicles from the military base, their working efficiency will be greatly improved.

Seeing the surprise and question in their eyes, Teng Bai said, "I know this is not a small matter, and we don’t expect Captain Xiu to agree immediately. However, we hope you can consider our proposal first."

Xiu Wu observed him and Song Chengsu for a moment, and asked, "What benefits can I get from this merger? Since Commander Mao wants to merge with us, it means that you need us. Since this is a business, I need to know what benefits I can get from this transaction."
