"Ah? Take me (him) there?!" The other four people said in shock at the same time. This is not a trip, how can I just take it with me?
Yan Hanjun looked at the four of them with shocked expressions, and slowly explained: "It's like this, there is a kind of fierce yang herb, they have very high requirements on land, environment, climate, etc.! There is only one in the west continent that is closer to the sea. This precious medicinal material only exists in this place.”
"In the past, there were always some people who wanted money rather than their lives, risking their lives to collect medicines there. No matter how expensive the price they offered, our research institute would always accept it, and it's not something we can't afford even if we bite the bullet."
"But something unexpected happened recently." Yan Hanjun paused and continued, "That group of people may have made too much money, or it may be for some other reason, they all gave up. We have run out of these precious herbs."
"But for some reasons, we no longer need these herbs. (The Dawn Potion was successfully developed) The stock is basically enough. But I still lack some of this strong positive herb for experiments."
"So, I need to ask Ye Ning, who understands Chinese herbal medicine, to find some strong positive herbs. Apart from Ye Ning, there is currently no one who is better qualified for this position." As he spoke, Yan Hanjun looked meaningfully and looked at him with affirmation. He looked at Ye Ning.
In the eyes of others, this is affirmation, trust, and approval. But Ye Ning understood that this was a small code between him and Yan Hanjun, saying: "You agree first, follow what I say, and I will explain to you later."
When it comes to people with supernatural abilities who know herbal medicine, they are basically rare in this eastern continent. Herbal medicines basically grow on the western continent where the climate is mild and the environment is relatively primitive. There are very few herbal experts on the eastern continent.
Things are rare and valuable, and these experts in herbal medicine can get paid a lot of money just by giving a little advice. Why go to the Western Continent to die? In other words, as long as Ye Ning admits his identity as a Chinese herbal medicine expert, then Ye Ning must go on this trip.
However, Ye Ning is also very nimble. In recent months, he and Yan Hanjun have traveled around in various cities, and he has already become familiar with the key words in the language. I also have a basic awareness of prevention against some language pitfalls. After all, one gains wisdom after another, and Ye Ning was often "deceived" by Yan Hanjun.
Ye Ning admitted: "Yes, I was relatively weak when I was a child and often got cold. I am somewhat familiar with strong yang herbs."
He would admit whatever Yan Hanjun asked him to admit. At this time, if I say that I am an expert in Chinese herbal medicine, it will be very busy if I follow him to the Eastern Continent, so I just admit that I know something.
"You're pretty cool. You can cook and know Chinese herbal medicine. You guys in the research institute are still geniuses." Huang Liuyin complained.
"So, I really need Ye Ning to help. As for the details, I will explain it to Commander Wu Yu in the name of the institute. I just need your help to set up a line." Yan Hanjun continued.
Yan Hanjun had already said it all, all he needed was a few words from Ma Jiao, Wu Yu's darling, to set the line. Ma Jiao had nothing to refuse, so he nodded and agreed.
But Ye Ning still planned to ask about all the possible situations, so he asked Ma Jiao: "Then what is the vision that Commander Wu Yu mentioned? What happened on the Western Continent?"
Ma Jiao slowly explained: "Originally, everyone thought that the Western Continent had been completely occupied by monsters and had become a paradise for monsters and a no-man's land."
"And because more than ten years ago, an SSS-level roc flew over the western continent, which filled the entire human race with a sense of crisis. So after the roc returned home, the top management decided to use drones to detect the roc in the west. The sea, and the continent to the west. To ensure the safety of our survival."
"However, the latest set of images returned from the drone recently shocked all the senior officials." Ma Jiao paused, feeling as if he himself was frightened.
"The footage transmitted by the drone showed that on the coast, there were several people with supernatural powers who wrote the word '来' with flames in the air out of thin air. We don't know the specific meaning of it."
Ma Jiao stopped talking, leaving the rest to their own imagination. After all, Ma Jiao didn't know much. As for the reaction of the senior management, it was similar to Ye Ning's reaction at the moment.
The first reaction was that there were actually people on the western continent, and they were at least S-level superpowers!
This news is completely shocking. The western continent has been contacted using various technologies, and it is confirmed that they cannot be contacted at all. After losing all kinds of electronic information technology, it is difficult to imagine that there are still people alive on the western continent.
But now it seems that he is not only alive, he is even a person with super powers and living very well. It is also easy to speculate that these people have broken away from the information society and returned to the primitive society. But it still has a stable foothold on the western continent.
And now the questions are coming one after another. If they have been living well, why haven't they tried their best to get in touch with the Eastern Continent? Instead, there was no news for a hundred years, making everyone think that the Western Continent had fallen.
However, it is obvious that they are already "dead" and are pretending to be completely dead and isolated from the world. Why do they suddenly show up and come back to send a message?
"It is very strange that this group of people from the Western Continent are conveying the news at this juncture." Ma Jiao, who had been silent for a while, spoke again.
"You know, many of the monsters on the dangerous ranking list are already wandering around Night City, and the tendency of gathering people to attack the city has become more and more obvious. Commander Jiang Kaixu sent news. He said that he alone has felt It’s getting more and more difficult, and it’s urgent for Commander Wu Yu to come and help.”
"But just as Commander Wu Yu was preparing to set off, this scene was transmitted from the drone. This was the first news from the Western Continent, which had not been heard for a long time. This news was very clear to let people from the Eastern Continent come over quickly. "
"At this juncture, it is obvious that there is a lot of conspiracy involved in the monster siege."
"I heard from Commander Wu Yu that there are currently four most likely guesses."
"The first one is that the monsters from the Western Continent may be involved in the siege of the city by monsters, and when the people from the Western Continent know about this, they may want us not to jump into the pit, or they may want us to get over. Change the family, come and surround Wei and save Zhao."
"Second, great changes have taken place on the western continent! The surviving humans on the western continent can no longer suppress the situation and are in urgent need of help from people on the eastern continent. And it is urgent."
"The third type is suspicion. It is not human. Maybe there are some monsters on the western continent that can disguise themselves or manipulate human consciousness. This is their plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain. They want to disperse our power and kill us all in one fell swoop. Rout."
"The fourth type may be that people simply want to establish diplomatic relations with us."
After Ma Jiao finished speaking, he paused again. This time, Ye Ning and the others were left with enough room for imagination.
The three situations are all terrible, and it is difficult to decide whether to go or not.
Go, if this is a big conspiracy by the monsters, or if people in the western continent just have nothing to do and want to make contact, then it's not just that Night City is gone. The monsters on the dangerous ranking list that have plagued the Eastern Continent for many years rarely gathered here, but the best opportunity to eliminate them was lost.
If you don't go, then what if it's really another conspiracy of the Western Continent? If it's true that the humans on the Western Continent have more fighters and more intelligence that can influence the situation of the battle, then if you don't go, you'll be at a huge loss.
Fortunately, there is no need for Ye Ning and others to think about these things and the possible consequences. After all, Ma Jiao has already told the military's answer.
Ye Ning glanced at Ma Jiao and said, "So do they still decide to go? Or will Commander Wu Yu go in person?!"
"It's not just him, he also brought some powerful generals. Of course, there is also me." Ma Jiao's tone seemed to be less firm than at the beginning, "You also know how much I can help. In order to prevent It’s really a conspiracy, and only with our configuration can we escape unscathed.”
Indeed, Ma Jiao, a debuff that can weaken the opponent's abilities, must be visited.
Ye Ning was still worried and asked again: "When will we go? Have we taken any other defensive measures?"
"Let's set off tomorrow." Ma Jiao paused and said, "As for the defensive measures, there are some. Tiancheng Research Institute has provided some heavy weapons and defensive measures, all of which have been loaded on the ship. It's just that these weapons are still in the experimental stage. , it is estimated that it will be difficult to work.”
Ye Ning knew exactly how lethal these weapons were, and the research institute had already developed light weapons. But not only did the institute not provide it, it also never said anything about it. It was obvious that the Dawn Organization had other plans. This was not something Ye Ning should worry about.
"There is also a backup plan." Ma Jiao continued, "The military has prepared nearly 100,000 nuclear bombs. If it is really a conspiracy, then it can only destroy the ecology to carry out nuclear destruction."
This backup plan is really ruthless! If you fail, you will be destroyed! It would be better for the jade to be shattered than for the tiles to be intact. It can be said that there is no way out, and I am ready to put all my money into it, so I bet on the friendly establishment of diplomatic relations or the proposal of a war situation by the humans on the western continent.
"Don't say so much, it's time for me to leave. I want to go back and prepare." Ma Jiao said. There was more of a sense of relief in his tone. In other words, a feeling of being indifferent to life and death.
"Well, walk slowly, we won't send you off." Yan Hanjun answered first, and did not forget to emphasize it again: "Don't forget to mention it to Commander Wu Yu, and bring Ye Ning with you!"
