Chapter 11: The Distressed Flame King
"Alas, I know everything you said."
On the side, King Yan, whose face was a little sallow, couldn't help but sigh deeply after listening to Lin Han's report.
"But what do you want me to do? Do I really have to watch nine thousand lives disappear in front of me? I really can't do this."
As he said this, a deep struggle flashed in King Yan's eyes.
"But during this period, it was indeed because of me that the entire base was in a lot of trouble. I am guilty."
Listening to King Yan's words, Lin Han hurriedly comforted him with a bitter smile.
"Brother Yan, don't say that. Everyone has seen your contribution to the base over the years! Although everyone has some complaints about your actions this time, they are definitely not guilty."
But although Lin Han comforted him at the first time, King Yan obviously didn't listen.
"I know everyone trusts me, and I must not let everyone down!"
It seemed that King Yan had made a decision, and his eyes suddenly became determined.
"I know the current predicament of the base very well. The main reason is the lack of food! As long as I can solve the food problem, all other problems will be solved!"
Yan Wang said with great determination.
"So I decided to go to Changbai Mountains! The number of mutant beasts living there far exceeds that of our city! As long as I can hunt a few large mutant beasts there, the food problem of the survivors in the base will no longer be a problem!"
Unlike zombies, mutant beasts can be eaten.
So in addition to searching for food left over from the old world, hunting mutant beasts is also one of the food sources for the survivors.
The Changbai Mountains is the largest mountain range near Jicheng.
In the old world, all kinds of wild animals gathered there.
So after the end of the world, Changbai Mountains naturally became the base camp of mutant beasts.
Lord-level and super-large-sized mutant beasts, which are extremely rare in Jicheng, are common in Changbai Mountains.
"What? Brother Yan, you should think twice!"
But when Lin Han heard what King Yan said, he instantly showed a look of horror, and immediately stopped him.
"Although there are many mutant beasts in Changbai Mountains, they are also amazingly powerful! There are even mutant beasts that are said to be beyond the lord level! Unless you have to, you can't go there to hunt casually!"
Lin Han tried his best to explain the dangers of Changbai Mountains, wanting King Yan to reconsider going there to hunt.
But unfortunately, King Yan had obviously made up his mind, and even if Lin Han tried his best to dissuade him, he still had no intention of wavering.
"Don't say it! I'm determined, and I will set off for Changbai Mountains in three days! If I don't succeed this time, I will die!"
The King Yan looked determined and shouted at Lin Han.
"Brother Yan, you..."
Lin Han's eyes suddenly showed an extremely anxious look when he heard the words, but he understood King Yan's character, and he knew very well that it would be difficult to change the other party's decision.
So even if he was anxious, there was no way to change the situation in front of him.
"This is bad! There are many dangers in Changbai Mountains. If Brother Yan really dies there by accident, then Jicheng Base will follow the same fate as Fengcheng Base!!"
For a moment, Lin Han regretted that he had put too much pressure on King Yan when he reported to him just now.
Lin Han's original intention was to use some pressure to make King Yan change his mind and stop accepting the survivors of Fengcheng.
But now, not only has the original goal not been achieved, but the situation has worsened. This is something Lin Han never dreamed of.
And all this is because King Yan is too stubborn. Even if he risked his life and went to Changbai Mountains to take risks, he still didn't think of giving up the survivors of Fengcheng.
It can be said that Lin Han was completely self-defeating at this moment, and made things more complicated.
And when Lin Han was secretly worried about how to reverse the current situation, a sentry suddenly ran in and interrupted the two people who were talking.
"Report to King Yan, there is a robot who calls himself Stark, who is at the entrance of the base and wants to see you."
Stark?
Isn't that Panlong Mountain's artificial intelligence housekeeper?
Why did he come to Jicheng Base?
Yan Wang and Lin Han had just been to Panlong Mountain not long ago, so it was impossible for them not to know Stark.
So when they heard that he was coming, they were stunned for a moment.
Because in their impression, Stark has always been inseparable from Shi Xuan.
However, despite their doubts, they did not dare to be negligent in the face of Panlong Mountain, the "big money owner".
"Please let him in."
After a slight daze, Yan Wang quickly gave the order to let the sentry guards pass.
Ta-ta-ta!
Not long after, the robot controlled by Stark came to Yan Wang and Lin Han under the leadership of the sentry guards.
"Your Excellency Yan Wang, Your Excellency Lin Han, long time no see."
Stark was very polite. He greeted the two in front of him as soon as he arrived.
"Haha, Mr. Stark is so polite! Come, please take a seat."
When the Flame King saw Stark, he smiled and politely offered him a seat.
Then the two sides exchanged a few polite words, and the Flame King asked the question in his mind.
"We have been chatting for so long, but I still don't know why Mr. Stark suddenly came to the Jicheng base?"
When Stark saw this, he didn't give in. He directly followed Shi Xuan's instructions and told the other party truthfully about leasing the former site of the Institute of Zoology and Plants in Jicheng Base.
"So that's it! There are actually research materials that little brother Shi Xuan needs in the former site of the Institute of Animal and Plant Research in our base?"
And listening to Stark's narration, King Yan also showed a look of sudden realization.
"But little brother Shi Xuan's borrowing money is too unreasonable! Yan has remembered all the help Panlong Mountain has given to our base over the years. If you want to come to Jicheng base to do research, just come, Yan How can I ask for payment?"
Immediately, King Yan waved his hand, not only generously agreed to let Shi Xuan do the research, but also said that he did not need any rent.
I have to say that in this aspect, King Yan is still very interesting.
However, facing the generous Flame King, Stark waved his hand and responded very politely.
"We appreciate King Yan's kindness, but the boss has told us that the Jicheng base has also been in difficulty recently, and we cannot take advantage at this time, so as long as you agree to lend the old site of the Institute of Zoology and Plants, our rent must not be less. "
With that said, Stark pointed to the armored vehicle outside and said.
"As for the specific price of leasing, it's the food of one armored vehicle per month."
An armored car's worth of food a month? !
Originally, King Yan wanted to shirk it again, but when he heard the rental price, he couldn't help but swallow the words on his lips again.
"One, one armored car food?"
Even Lin Han, who had been silent next to him, couldn't help but swallowed after hearing the price.
You must know that the conflict between the two people just now is ultimately due to the recent shortage of food reserves in the Jicheng base!
And now the rent of one truck of food per month is a timely blessing!
If we can get the food of one armored vehicle per month, it will definitely significantly reduce the food pressure caused by the new population in Fengcheng.
And after a period of time, when the personnel of the two bases complete the adjustment, there will be no such thing as the current situation where both sides have grievances.
Especially if this is the case, King Yan no longer has to risk hunting in the Changbai Mountains for food.
Therefore, no matter what aspect you consider, it is impossible for the Jicheng base to refuse this armored vehicle food.
"Okay, since little brother Shi Xuan is willing to help, we won't be polite! But please go back and tell little brother Mr. Stark that Ri Yan will be very grateful to him for this timely help!"
In the end, King Yan took a deep breath, put aside his pride, and chose to accept the monthly armored vehicle's food for the sake of the entire base.
Naturally, Shi Xuan got his wish and got the right to temporarily live in the Institute of Zoology and Plants.
