Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

Chapter 153 The End of the World (69)

It was a month or two later that Yu Ziyin found out that Zhang Yu and Zhou Wei had joined the Dawn Base, because their Team 11 had another mission. This time, it was still to find zombie samples for the research institute. The zombies they dealt with were also within their ability to deal with, so the mission was completed perfectly. However, they accidentally accepted the task of helping several buildings very close to them to clear out zombies and protect the evacuation of people, which delayed them.

Yu Zinyin was naturally happy for Meng Yu and Yang Youcheng that Zhang Yu and Zhou Wei were able to join the Dawn Base with their families. After all, she knew how much Meng Yu and Yang Youcheng cared about their two former teammates. She thought that after these problems were resolved, she would feel relieved, just like a huge stone had been lifted from her heart.

At the same time, Meng Yu couldn't help but tell Yu Zinyin about some news she had heard from her connections at the Sunshine Base. After all, the two of them were now like best friends, and they would talk about anything with each other. Now that they finally had time to get together, they would naturally sit together and talk about the situation.

So Meng Yu relayed to Yu Zinyin the follow-up information about Li Zeliang, Pei Shu and Zhuang Zitao that he had heard from various sources. Li Zeliang had now become a complete useless person. The reason was as mentioned before, he had no background to support him. The head of the Zhang family could not do anything to Pei Shu and Zhuang Zitao, that is, kill them, but it was different for Li Zeliang.

If Li Zeliang's former team was strong and still supported him, the Zhang family head might not be able to do anything to him. But the reality is that Li Zeliang is powerless, so the Zhang family head can vent all his anger and hatred on Li Zeliang. He doesn't want Li Zeliang to die so easily. After all, he only has one real target to seek revenge on, so wouldn't he be tortured slowly? Therefore, Li Zeliang has not been able to leave the Zhang family dungeon yet.

Pei Shu and Zhuang Zitao had already come out. After all, a month or two had passed since the head of the Zhang family and the director of the Sunshine Base and others proposed the compensation conditions. Even the deputy base director, who was the most hard-hearted, couldn't help but feel a headache when he saw that the base had signed a contract with the Zhang family that was certified by the Dawn Base, stipulating that 90% of the materials exchanged by the Pei family from the Dawn Base in the next ten years would belong to the Zhang family. He thought that even if the base director lowered his head, he couldn't let the other party take so much back. How could he propose conditions to the other party now?

But later, the deputy base commander got to know some inside information and learned that 90% of the supplies for the Pei family in the next ten years would not be provided by the Pei family members, because many people in the Pei family were not happy about it and even held several meetings for this purpose. After all, the supplies exchanged with the Dawn Base included not only food but also high-level crystal cores. If everyone contributed 90% of these things, it would cost too much. Some people in the Pei family who supported the base commander had to agree despite the pain.

But those members of the Pei family who did not support the base commander were not happy about this. They proposed that part of the 90% must be paid by Mrs. Pei's family. They would not pay anyway. After all, Pei Shu was not their daughter. Why should Mrs. Pei not have to pay anything when it was the daughter of the base commander and his wife who offended the Zhang family, and only the Pei family had to pay?

Then, after much wrangling, Mrs. Pei's family also heard rumors within the Pei family and were naturally unwilling to accept the situation. In their view, Pei Shu's surname was Pei, so she was a member of the Pei family. If the Pei family made a mistake, why should they bear the consequences for someone with an outside surname? Even though Mrs. Pei was the sister of the head of her family, they were still very unhappy.

But in the end, because Mrs. Pei went back to her parents' home and made a fuss several times, saying that if he didn't help her daughter and something happened to Pei Shu, the base commander would not take care of her parents' family in the future, and even Mrs. Pei would hate her parents' family and make it impossible for them to stand in the Sunshine Base.

This is a blatant threat. Mrs. Pei's family is naturally very unhappy about this. You know, the current director of the Sunshine Base was able to sit in this position with their support. Even Mrs. Pei was able to sit in such a respected position with their support. Now the other party is actually threatening them?

But Mrs. Pei's family was really afraid that the other party would get really anxious and start to find trouble with them, so they thought about agreeing first and finding a chance to retaliate in the future. Anyway, they would not obediently give 90% of the supplies for the next ten years. At the same time, they couldn't help but blame Pei Shu for being stupid and provoking the mad dogs of the Zhang family.

The base commander was naturally happy when he learned that his wife's family was willing to contribute a part of the funds, so he went to find the head of the Zhang family and mentioned the matter, saying that they were willing to give 90% of the supplies for the next ten years, and asked if the head of the Zhang family could release the people.

Who would have thought that the Zhang family head would call out several people wearing the uniforms of the Shuguang Base Military Court, and took out the contract that had been drafted for both parties. He smiled and said to the base commander, "It's not that I don't trust your character, base commander, but I, Zhang Nian, am a cautious person. Coincidentally, these guys are investigating the misdeeds of our internal military members, so I asked them to come over as witnesses."

Seeing this group of people, the base commander, who already had a headache, felt his headache hurt even more.

During this period, the military court team sent by the Shuguang Base to verify the situation naturally arrived as scheduled, and he and the deputy base commander naturally could not send away the military court team sent by the Shuguang Base to verify the situation. What's more hateful is that the other party is very serious and wants to do everything by themselves, and does not give them any chance to find a loophole.

This reminded both the base commander and deputy commander of the source of these people. Wasn't He Le just as picky? He had no way of adapting, which was truly infuriating! They had no idea how such a person could survive in a base as large as Dawn Base and reach such a high position!

But upon hearing Patriarch Zhang invite the remaining troops to serve as witnesses, the base commander couldn't help but secretly curse Patriarch Zhang for being too cautious. He was actually planning the same thing as his wife's family: after he brought his daughter back, Patriarch Zhang would come asking for supplies. He figured he could delay as long as possible. With time, Patriarch Zhang's resentment would subside, and perhaps the matter would be over. He wouldn't have to give away 90% of the supplies over the course of ten years, which would allow him to shirk his debt.

But it’s different after passing the certification of the Dawn Base. Unless the base commander of the Sunshine Base publicly announces that they will leave the protection of the national base and choose to work alone, they must abide by the terms of the contract. If they fail to comply, they will go to court, and in serious cases, they will be held accountable to the end. This is not what the base commander wants.

Seeing that the base commander hesitated for a long time and showed no intention of signing, the head of the Zhang family's face darkened. "What? Is the base commander trying to trick me?"

The base commander's wife also came with them. Seeing her husband hesitate and not sign, she was already secretly anxious. Now, after being threatened by the head of the Zhang family, she quickly grabbed the base commander's sleeve and said, "Old Pei! Sign quickly!"

Mrs. Pei was not as convoluted as the base commander. She judged others by her own experience and believed that since the Zhang family leader had no offspring, he must pay compensation. She had never thought of refusing to pay, so she didn't care even if the Zhang family leader asked the military court team of the Shuguang base to certify it.
