Chapter 145 Goal
Chapter 145 Goal
Afterwards, Mr. Lei asked his secretary to explain the arrangements for this mission to everyone.
This is a joint mission.
The military, mercenary guilds, individual teams, and private mercenary groups can all participate.
Everyone supports each other, and everyone enjoys the benefits.
That is, to go to northern Shanxi in groups and climb the volcano.
However, each person does not need to hand over or share the amount of firestones they obtain, or the amount of crystal cores they obtain by killing zombies.
The main idea is that there's strength in numbers!
Of course, the Fire Spirit Stones obtained by private teams can also be used to exchange for a large number of base points and resources.
It's a win-win situation.
This time, the mercenary guild and the military each sent fifteen people.
There are three individual teams participating in the joint mission, including the Lingxi team, totaling forty-nine people.
The Lingxi Team is the name of Yu Yao and her friends' team.
When Yu Yao was named, she was still at the Wushan base.
The teammates discussed for a long time via telepathy before deciding to name the team after a bunch of strange names, using the name Lingxi Peak.
easy to understand.
Of course, the official statement is that the Lingxi Team was invited by the Mercenary Guild and is not considered an individual team, and Yu Yao is protected by the Mercenary Guild.
She was to be responsible for providing free medical treatment to members of the mercenary guild.
The Mercenary Guild is an official organization established by the government to specifically protect private war teams and mercenary groups.
The current president is Lei Xuanqing's father.
......
At this point, Chi Heng interrupted the other person.
"Xiaoqi doesn't need anyone's protection, nor will she treat anyone for free."
Sang Wu frowned.
"What do you mean? What do you think we invited you here for?"
Chi Heng remained calm.
"I said I won't treat patients for free. But I can treat them for a fee. If they're injured, I'll use the crystal core to heal them. Don't try to treat Xiao Qi like anyone's first aid kit."
Sang Wu laughed.
"Excellent, excellent, excellent! What a team that doesn't need anyone's protection! What a truly indomitable Spirit Rhinoceros Team!"
Sang Wu slammed his hand on the solid wood conference table in front of him, making a loud thud. Even Sang Yu, whom he doted on, couldn't help but tremble.
He was clearly still angry, and continued to curse, "I just don't understand, what good does it do you to go against the Mercenary Guild!"
Compared to his fury, Chi Heng was much calmer.
"Does refusing to be the mercenary guild's personal first-aid kit, and refusing to be hampered, mean we have to go against the grain? Don't we have the right to do our own thing?"
He spoke calmly, and Old Lei sighed, "Aheng is right. They are an independent team, and there's nothing wrong with cooperating with others for mutual benefit. It's settled then. Everyone will take care of their own business, and if needed... treatment will be provided on a paid basis."
Dr. Lei had originally proposed that treatment be paid.
But those people refused to agree, and now they've been proven wrong again!
Really impressed!
......
After explaining all the plans and agreeing on the departure time, Old Lei waved his hand and dismissed everyone.
Only Chi Heng remained.
In the huge conference room, only Mr. Lei and Chi Heng remained.
Old Lei stared intently at Chi Heng for a long while before finally speaking softly.
“Aheng, you weren’t always this sharp-tongued. I don’t believe that an apocalypse or a superpower can so easily change you.”
While Chi Heng remained silent, Old Lei continued, "The only thing that can change you is people. You like that girl, don't you?"
He also realized that the main reason Chi Heng had spoken so harshly to Sang Yu was because she had offended that girl.
Otherwise, Chi Heng would most likely ignore her.
"Yes."
Chi Heng admitted it very readily.
It was so decisive that even Lei Lao couldn't defend against it.
Old Lei was stunned for a moment, his gaze sweeping back and forth across Chi Heng's face for a long time.
He concluded, "There's something I need to say that might upset you. But I still want to remind you: I know you're strong and stubborn, but even the strongest can be overpowered, and you understand the saying 'too much of a good thing can be bad.' Furthermore..."
After carefully considering his words, Old Lei continued, "These are chaotic times. Don't let matters of the heart become a burden. Your primary task is to stabilize yourself before considering anything else."
Chi Heng frowned, recalling that Yu Yao had said something similar.
but.
He did not agree.
Living and having feelings are not contradictory.
It is precisely because he has so many people he cares about that he wants to live even more!
In fact, Chi Heng is an extremely misanthropic person.
He used to hate everything and every living being in the world equally.
He didn't even understand the meaning of life.
It wasn't until he met Dongfang Jin and a few others at the training camp that he led them to rebel against the organization.
From then on, it became Chi Heng's responsibility to help them live well.
Now, in this apocalyptic world surrounded by wolves and fraught with danger, protecting and caring for Xiao Qi has transcended his former responsibilities and become Chi Heng's new goal.
He would do anything to survive in order to achieve this goal.
I must live on.
Chi Heng raised his eyes and looked directly into Old Lei's wise and aged eyes.
Without his own awareness, his expression softened and became more relaxed.
Where is the ruthless and decisive legendary mercenary of the past?
"Mr. Lei, if liking her can make me a better person, I think... I should persevere."
Old Lei froze, shocked by Chi Heng's change.
At the same time, I felt inexplicably happy.
This kid is becoming more and more popular.
"Sigh... Never mind... I can't interfere in your young people's affairs. Go ahead, get ready and set off. I'll be in Kyoto, waiting for your good news."
"We will do our best."
