“How many? Don’t we have a specific number?” Lin Qiao asked Xie Dong with a frown.
Xie Dong shook his head and said, “When I left, the entire animal park was already occupied by rats. The animal park is thousands of acres in area. I think the whole Fuyang District will be eaten up in just a few days.”
Those rats had strangely strong teeth. Where did they come from? Had mutated rats been hiding underground and breeding in secret during the past few years?
The group of rats had covered thousands of acres. How many were they? A million? Ten million?
Probably more!
“They’re very close to us!” Lin Qiao knitted her brows into a deep frown. She remembered seeing those mutated rats earlier when she passed through the animal park. She understood how strong they were.
However, she saw no more than ten-thousand rats back then. How come the rat group suddenly grew so large?
If the rat group showed up somewhere else, even in Gan Province, she wouldn’t be so worried. However, Fuyang District was only about three miles away from her base. Without a doubt, those rats would soon visit her territory.
Thankfully, Xie Dong had discovered them in time.
What made Lin Qiao worry was how destructive those rats were. They could eat all the supplies stored in her base. Once they ate up everything, they would leave slowly. Wherever they swept across, nothing would be left behind.
“I didn’t know that mutated rats could eat zombies. Rats!” Thinking about how rapidly those rats propagated, Lin Qiao had a headache. She thought for a moment, then decided to build a team that was good at long-range fights. The members of the team had to have superpowers.
Her base did not have jets, cannons, or other strong weapons. Without powerful weapons, commoners had no chance of surviving those rats.
“Send the files to Deputy Chiefs and the others. We’ll have a meeting this afternoon,” Lin Qiao soon gave her order.
“Yes, ma’am!” Shen Yujen responded. Xie Dong sorted all the related files for her, then she spread them to the people in charge of the other departments.
Once they left, Duan Juan came in and said, “Chief, we have guests from Sea City Base.”
“Who?” Lin Qiao raised her head and asked.
Duan Juan knew that she was asking about who was leading the group. “Xiao Yunlong, with Meng Yue and Kong Qingming.”
Lin Qiao turned her eyes away as she nodded and said, “Em, I get it.”
Duan Juan didn’t notice the slight trace of surprised look in Lin Qiao’s eyes. Lin Qiao subconsciously thought that it should be Wu Chengyue instead of Xiao Yunlong. But soon, she realized that Wu Chengyue wouldn’t come back so soon, as he had left not long ago.
Duan Juan was only there to deliver the news to Lin Qiao. Xiao Yunlong and his people had been welcomed by Lin Feng.
“What? Do you want to divide the field from Jiaxing City? Don’t you think that’s too much?” In the conference room, Xiao Yunlong, Meng Yue, and even Kong Qingming, all had disbelief in their eyes.
When they heard Lin Feng say that All Beings Base intended to divide the hunting field from Shan Town that was located at the edge of Jiaxing City, they shared the same thought— ‘All Beings Base is way too greedy! How dare they even say that out loud!’
Lin Feng nodded and said expressionlessly, “Yeah. That is indeed what our Chief planned. As long as you agree, we would be willing to give you anything in compensation.”
He ignored Xiao Yunlong’s question.
Meng Yue and Kong Qingming glanced at each other, then turned to Xiao Yunlong. Xiao Yunlong was looking at them too. All three of them seemed to be a little speechless. For the sake of the fact that Sea City Base and All Being Base were on a friendly term currently, Xiao Yunlong asked nicely, “Why does Miss Lu think that we will agree to that?”
Lin Feng stayed composed and said, “The area between this spot and our base is at about the same size as the area between it and your base. I think it’s fair.”
Xiao Yunlong was going to divide the hunting field from the border between Yuhang District and Jiaxing City, so the entire Jiaxing City would belong to Sea City Base. Hearing what Lin Feng said, Xiao Yunlong started to feel that this serious-faced man was probably not easy to deal with.
He looked at Lin Feng silently, without responding to him.
Meng Yue was also looking at Lin Feng, trying to find out something from his face. Kong Qingming was leaning on one arm of his char, with his slender legs folded. His narrow and pretty eyes were fixed on the expressionless woman who was sitting straight in front of him.
Lin Wenwen had her head dropped slightly while she was recording the contents of the meeting. But meanwhile, she had been looking around quickly, scanning the faces of Kong Qingming and Long Qingying over and over again. A meaningful smile could be detected from the corners of her lips.
Being stared at by Kong Qingming, Long Qingying felt utterly annoyed. Yet, she could not do anything at that moment. She always had a poker face. So, even though she was very unhappy right now, the people who didn’t know her well couldn’t tell.
How could she not notice the look in Kong Qingming’s eyes? She just didn’t understand why that girly man was gazing at her in that irritating way!
Lin Feng and Xiao Yunlong had no idea about what was happening silently around them while they had been confronting each other for the hunting field.
“I wonder what will you offer us for this area,” Xiao Yunlong looked at Lin Feng with bright eyes.
All Beings Base was founded half a year ago. At present, they only had about ten-thousand people. Therefore, Xiao Yunlong did not think that they could provide Sea City Base with anything that was equally valuable to Jiaxing City.
Lin Feng thought for a moment. He too felt that his base couldn’t afford that much. So, he hesitated and said, “Perhaps, we can each take a step backward and divide the hunting field from here. What do you think?”
While speaking, he drew a line on the map which was spread on the tea table between Xiao Yunlong and himself with his finger. The new line was near the center of Jiaxing City.
“For this, we’ll offer you ten tons of rice, twenty tons of fruits and vegetables, and three favors for free. What do you think?” Lin Feng said, “Or, we can also pay you with a sufficient number of energy nuclei.”
Rice, vegetables and fruits were precious resources. That, added with three free favors, was the upper limit that Lin Qiao had set.
That should be enough to trade for that hunting field.
But of course, it needed to be paid in installments. That wasn’t a bad thing for Sea City Base, though.
Xiao Yunlong paused briefly and hesitated slightly when Lin Mention mentioned rice. The farm in All Beings Base had been developing slowly but stably. Judging by how thriving those plants looked, the harvests would be rich.
All Being Base had a small population, so it was easy for them to feed themselves!
