Chapter 86 Price Negotiation
"I haven't thought about this question." Meng Xingchen smiled and said, "But rules and so on, in front of mutant creatures, I'm afraid they are no different from paper."
No one knows better than him, a time traveler, what the future will be like. Now he just wants to form a team to protect himself, seize every opportunity, and grow up as quickly as possible.
Bearded Old Horse also laughed, "Indeed, compared to dealing with mutant creatures, what other problems are there?"
"Oh, right." Meng Xingchen looked at Bearded Old Ma and said, "Old Ma, we put a lot of effort into dealing with that mutant electric eel today, and we almost had some accidents. Xingchen Security is a bit behind in terms of hot weapons and equipment... Old Ma, can you apply for a few heavy snipers, Gatling Vulcan cannons, howitzers, etc. as backup?"
"...You kid, whenever you make some achievements, you immediately get cocky! Can't you be steady and stay quiet for a few days? And that Gatling Vulcan cannon, why don't you fly into the sky?" Bearded old Ma took out a cigarette, lit it, and cursed at Meng Xingchen.
"Isn't this to solve the mutant creatures faster?" Meng Xingchen said with a smile, "Old Ma, time waits for no one! You also said that compared to solving the mutant creatures, what other things are a problem?"
"..." Bearded Old Ma pondered for a moment, "Xingchen, you and Xingchen Security have already pushed the higher-ups to make some changes. For example, just this morning, a notice was issued within the special operations team system, stating that all localities can recruit non-staff members in the future. It's just that their authority is not as great as yours.
In addition, because of the achievements made by Xingchen Security in the past two days, the higher-ups are now seriously considering whether to relax some restrictions on private organizations and allow them to play a role in eliminating mutant creatures. However, we can't be so impatient, many things are not that simple. "
"Yes." Meng Xingchen nodded, "How about equipping us with a heavy sniper first? Let's not talk about Vulcan cannons, rifle grenades, etc."
It was indeed a bit awkward for him to travel through this period.
Many things have not yet formed systems and rules.
There is no ready-made stage for you to give full play to your talents.
His predecessor who traveled through time was just a security guard, so he could only take things one step at a time and try to move forward a little bit each time.
"It seems that you are asking for an exorbitant price again!" Bearded Old Ma took a puff of his cigarette, "Okay, I'll give you a heavy sniper rifle first."
"Thanks, Lao Ma!" Meng Xingchen nodded.
"Let's go. We'll talk about it when we get further news." Bearded Old Ma turned and went downstairs. "With Yan Hai's strength, if you Xingchen Security run into him and have a conflict with him, I'm afraid you will all be wiped out! It is also necessary to deploy some heavy weapons. You must also be extra careful when you go out on missions recently!"
"Okay." Meng Xingchen agreed and followed Hu Zi Lao Ma out of the area.
……
When they drove back to the villa, Li Kan, Ye Zihong and Wang Tong had not rested yet, but they had already packed up the equipment and supplies they would use tomorrow.
The mutant electric eel had also been brought back, but it was still in the sac and no one dared to touch it. After eating a mutant red fruit, this guy had basically recovered. After eating the amethyst moss to grow, the current it released was much stronger than before.
Li Kan came back with the bag, and just as he unzipped the bag a little, he was severely shocked by it.
There was no other choice, so Ye Zihong went out and found a large glass fish tank and placed it in the yard as a standby until Meng Xingchen came back.
"Wow..."
Sensing Meng Xingchen's return, the little electric eel became very excited. It rolled around in the sac and even poked its head out of the small opening.
Meng Xingchen stepped forward and grabbed it, issued a few simple commands with his mental power, and then threw it into the large fish tank.
Ye Zihong came over, looked at the little electric eel swimming happily in the big fish tank, then turned to Meng Xingchen and said, "Xingchen, now that we have this little guy, should we start from 'Insect Island' tomorrow?"
"Yes." Meng Xingchen nodded, "That's what I mean. Tomorrow morning, we will go to the base first. The action team promised to equip us with another heavy sniper rifle, necessary spare parts, and some heavy sniper bullets."
The abnormal incident on the Insect Island is caused by mutated turtle creatures.
This was also one of the important targets that Meng Xingchen had selected before. Turtles have a long lifespan, and after mutation, they are definitely more worth hunting.
"Heavy sniper?" Ye Zihong's eyes lit up.
She also felt that the sniper rifle in her hand was no longer enough.
"Yes." Meng Xingchen smiled and said, "When I go to pick up Xiaozhe tomorrow, I will pick up the equipment. We will discuss the specific battle plan on the way to Chongdao tomorrow morning. Sister Hong, you should go and rest first."
After saying hello to Li Kan and the others, Meng Xingchen returned to his room on the third floor to rest.
……
The next morning, Meng Xingchen and three others drove two off-road vehicles to the action team’s base to pick up heavy sniper equipment, picked up Ling Xiaozhe, and then left Jiangnan City.
It takes more than three hours to drive to "Insect Island".
About two hours after Meng Xingchen and his four companions left, Hu Zi Lao Ma also rushed to the base.
This morning, Lu Cheng and his four companions also returned from a mission. After resting for ten hours, the special operations team prepared for the next mission at noon.
Inside an office, Lu Cheng was sorting through some documents he would need for lunch.
"Lu Cheng, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Bearded Old Ma pushed the door open and said to Lu Cheng, "We can sort out the information on the way."
"I've slept for five hours, and I can't fall asleep anymore." Lu Cheng smiled at Hu Zi Lao Ma, "Get up and sort out the information, and also take a look at the details of Xingchen and the others' massive killing spree this time."
Normally when there are no outsiders around, members of the special operations team are generally more casual with each other.
"Yeah." Bearded Ma nodded, sat down at his desk, turned on his computer, and logged into his office account.
At this time, several important emails have been sent.
He first opened two important notifications from the action team system and took a look, then Hu Zi Lao Ma opened another email.
This was sent by Jiangnan Research Institute.
A comprehensive catalogue of the prices of the mutant creatures hunted by the research institute for Star Security's mission over the past two days.
Currently, for the Star Security Hunting, the corpses of mutant creatures that are transferred to the research institute by the special operations team are first studied, analyzed and priced by the research institute, and then handed over to a special department for review and examination.
Finally, there is another confirmation process by the Jiangnan Special Operations Group before it is finally handed over to the funding department for transfer.
As usual, he looked at each item one by one, and Hu Zi Lao Ma had never thought about what problems might arise.
However, when he saw the last item, his expression suddenly turned grim.
"High-level mutant creature - mutant electric eel corpse, value: 100 million yuan."
After carefully confirming that he was not mistaken, Hu Zi Lao Ma immediately took out his cell phone and made a call.
