"It's me." Lu Xinyi nodded gently, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.
The old man still had a kind smile and said slowly: "Hello, Miss Lu, my surname is Xie. I am one of the managers of Shuguang Base and Bi Jing's grandfather."
When Lu Xinyi heard this, he didn't know whether to be surprised that he was just one of the managers, or that he was Bi Jing's grandfather.
"Hello, Mr. Xie." Lu Xinyi greeted him politely.
"Please sit down." Mr. Xie pointed to the sofa next to him and asked her to sit down.
After she sat down, he ordered Bi Jing: "Go and make a cup of tea for Miss Lu."
Lu Xinyi wanted to refuse, but when she saw that Bi Jing had turned around and walked quickly to the kitchen, she had to swallow the words that came to her lips.
Mr. Xie looked at her calmly and said in a calm tone: "In the last grain depot operation, I heard Bi Jing say that it was you who led the people from your base and saved our Shuguang Base and another one called the Rising Sun Base. ?”
"Since everyone is participating in the operation together, I naturally can't ignore death."
Mr. Xie nodded and said: "Anyway, the people in these two bases were rescued by your base. You have been a great help."
Lu Xinyi was no longer modest. Being more modest actually seemed a bit fake.
Besides, she was the one rescued by their base, so she could bear Mr. Xie's thanks.
While the two were talking, Bi Jing walked up to Lu Xinyi with a cup of tea and placed the cup of tea in front of her.
"Captain Lu, you drink tea." Bi Jing sat opposite her and said, "This tea has always been treasured by my grandfather, and even I rarely drink it. This tea was nothing in the past, but now In today's world, this tea is already a gift that we can use to entertain guests."
After the end of the world, many people will not even be able to eat, let alone drink tea.
I'm so hungry that I might even be able to chew up the tea leaves and swallow them.
Lu Xinyi picked up the tea cup and took a sip. After thinking about it carefully, he said: "Good tea, fragrant in the mouth, endless aftertaste. Thank you for your hospitality."
"If you like to drink, ask Bi Jing to pack some for you later and take it with you when you go back." Mr. Xie said with a smile.
Lu Xinyi hurriedly refused: "Why is this so embarrassing? I understand Mr. Xie's kindness, but this tea is your treasure, how can I take away others' favor."
Besides, she was not short of good tea.
Today she just distributed a lot of good tea to everyone in the base.
"Take it if it's given to you. You are Bi Jing's savior. This tea is a thank you gift to you. I hope Miss Lu won't dislike it."
Lu Xinyi twitched the corners of his lips and finally couldn't help but said: "Mr. Xie, I'm not short of tea. I have a lot of tea here."
As she spoke, she took out several cans of expensive and good tea, such as Biluochun, West Lake Longjing, and Huangshan Maofeng, which she had collected while raiding supermarkets after the apocalypse.
She placed these jars of tea leaves on the coffee table in front of Mr. Xie and said, "Mr. Xie likes to drink tea, so I will give these tea leaves to you."
Mr. Xie is Bi Jing's grandfather and the manager of Shuguang Base, so she naturally wants to make friends with him.
However, Mr. Xie looked at her in surprise, obviously not expecting that she would get such a few jars of expensive and good tea.
After the end of the world, even he won't have such good tea to drink, so he has to drink sparingly the little tea leaves he has in hand, for fear that it will be gone one day after drinking it.
"Really give it to me?" Mr. Xie asked in disbelief.
Lu Xinyi smiled and said, "I really give it to you."
Mr. Xie immediately smiled happily and hugged the cans of tea directly into his arms, "Then I'm not welcome."
This is such a treasure. He must treasure it carefully and never waste a single tea leaf!
Seeing his grandfather holding the tea leaves so preciously, Bi Jing smiled helplessly and explained to Lu Xinyi: "My grandpa has no other hobbies, he just likes drinking tea."
"Then it seems I made the right gift." Lu Xinyi chuckled.
After Mr. Xie put the tea leaves in his treasure box, the conversation turned to the right track.
"Captain Lu, I invite you to come today. In addition to inviting you to come to our base to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is something else I want to discuss with you." Bi Jing said.
Lu Xinyi raised his eyebrows, "I wonder what it is?"
"I said at the beginning that I hoped to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with the Oasis Base. Now I have a task that I hope to complete together with you."
"What mission?"
"Sweep the hospital."
Lu Xinyi pursed her lips.
As early as the last time Qin Xian was injured, she had the idea of raiding the hospital.
It's just that places like hospitals are absolutely high-risk areas when zombie viruses break out.
The hospital already has a lot of traffic, and after the virus broke out, it became a zombie nest.
Sweeping a hospital is no easy task.
Because of this, she kept putting this plan on hold.
Now that Shuguang Base plans to raid the hospital, she can go along with them to collect some medicines and equipment.
Seeing that she was silent, Bi Jing thought she was hesitating, so he continued: "Although the hospital is very dangerous and there are many zombies, medicines are indispensable. We have a large number of people in the base, and although there are also many people with super powers, there are even more We are ordinary people and people will get sick, so we decided to go to the hospital."
Lu Xinyi said casually: "If you just want to collect some commonly used drugs, you can find them in pharmacies. Why do you have to go to a hospital with a lot of zombies?"
By raiding a few pharmacies that are not so dangerous, you may be able to collect more drugs than what can be found in the hospital.
If she hadn't been looking for some medical equipment, she wouldn't have wanted to go to the hospital.
"Although medicines can be found in pharmacies, some medical equipment can only be found in hospitals." Bi Jing explained, "And..."
As he said that, he glanced at Mr. Xie hesitantly, and after seeing Mr. Xie gently nodding, he continued: "To be honest with Captain Lu, our mission this time is not only to collect medicines and medical equipment from the hospital, but also more importantly I’m looking for research equipment.”
"Area B of our base is the research area. There are many scientific researchers inside, who are doing research day and night. However, because of limited equipment, the research progress is very slow."
"Doing research?" Lu Xinyi asked curiously, "What kind of research?"
"This..." Bi Jing hesitated and did not answer.
Lu Xinyi said wisely: "Captain Bi, just pretend I didn't ask."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Mr. Xie say: "We are studying crystal nuclei."
As he spoke, he looked up at Lu Xinyi, his slightly cloudy eyes filled with seriousness and expectation.
"Researchers have discovered that the zombie crystal core contains powerful energy. If the superpower can absorb this energy, the superpower's strength can be improved."
"It's just that the equipment is limited. Although researchers have tried to extract the energy in the crystal nucleus, there has been no actual progress, and most of them ended in failure. Although they have been successfully extracted several times, they have many sequelae because they are not pure enough."
Lu Xinyi understood.
This is to study the crystal nucleation evolution fluid.
