Chapter 705: Anomaly, The Zombie King ( 1 )
"It’s already past dinner time, and you haven’t eaten yet? You are really taking your health as a joke," Chen Qianxiao said as he took a seat on the couch.
Hearing this, Xun Che signed the last document, closed the folder, and looked at him. "What brings you here today?" he asked.
Noticing that the Commander might have something important to discuss, Shang Yuanling set up the utensils before taking the lunch boxes and said, "Commander, the meal is ready."
After she said that, she nodded at Chen Qianxiao and left the office.
Checking his watch, Xun Che cracked his sore neck and walked to the couch. It had only been a few days since his personal assistant was hired, but he already felt the benefits of having one.
At least, he didn’t have to worry about not having a set of clean clothes or thinking about what to eat. Picking up his bowl of rice and chopsticks, he started to eat.
Chen Qianxiao looked at the dishes and clicked his tongue. "3 vegetable dishes, 1 meat dish, 1 soup, and even dessert. You finally live like a human being."
Ignoring his remark, Xun Che asked again, "You came so late. Did something happen?"
"Well, I found out something interesting just now."
The moment he heard this, Xun Che knew what he wanted. He shoved a piece of sweet and sour mutant pork into his mouth before asking, "Is this information important?"
Chen Qianxiao thought for a moment and replied, "It could be counted as important or trivial. It depends on what you want to do in the future."
Hearing this, Xun Che was curious. "How much do you want?"
"25,000."
When he heard this, Xun Che raised his eyebrows and said, "What happened to you today? You are actually only asking for 25,000 points? It seems that this information is not important."
Chen Qianxiao let out a chuckle and replied, "It’s not points, but level 1 crystal cores."
As soon as he heard this, Xun Che narrowed his eyes and said, "500,000 points. Are you sure this information is worth the price?"
Meeting his gaze, Chen Qianxiao replied casually, "Aren’t you researching the Elixir of Immortality? This information might be able to help you with your problem."
Xun Che knew that with Chen Qianxiao’s team’s capabilities, they already knew about this secret research. Since he was sure that this information could help him, it should be worth the price.
After he considered the pros and cons, he finally nodded. "I will let my men prepare the crystal cores and send them over to you."
Reaching his goal, Chen Qianxiao was in a good mood. Before leaving, he picked up a piece of sweet and sour mutant pork and tasted it. He was a picky eater, but he found the taste surprisingly good.
"Give me your personal assistant’s contact information, too," he said suddenly.
"What do you want to do?"
As he walked to the door, Chen Qianxiao replied, "If I told you it’s love at first sight, would you believe me?"
"Scram!" Xun Che said and threw a cushion at him.
Before the cushion could hit him, Chen Qianxiao had already closed the door, leaving his laughter behind.
At 10 o’clock in the evening, Wen Hanli, followed by 3 guards, visited Chen Qianxiao’s villa.
Wearing only his pajamas, Chen Qianxiao opened the door and said, "Come in."
Noticing his messy hair and lazy behavior, Wen Hanli said, "Captain Chen, sorry for disturbing your rest. We came to deliver the payment."
Following his words, one of the guards raised his hand, and the next moment, a box appeared on the ground. "Captain Chen, please count the amount first."
Chen Qianxiao waved his hand and said, "There is no need to count. I trust you." Then, he handed an envelope to him and added, "All he wants to know is here."
Wen Hanli accepted the envelope and put it in his inner pocket before nodding. "Captain Chen, we will take our leave now."
"Okay."
After they left, Chen Qianxiao carried the box to his bedroom and separated the crystal cores according to type. His team’s missions mostly involved gathering information and rarely hunting zombies or mutants. So, they lacked crystal cores the most.
With these crystal cores, his team members should be able to attempt a breakthrough and lower their risks during the missions.
Thinking about his younger brother, he made a call using his satellite phone. The call rang for a while before being picked up. The moment it connected, he heard the sound of explosions from the other side.
"Are you in a battle?" he asked.
"Brother, it’s rare for you to call me. Did something happen?" Chen Qianfeng asked.
"Qianfeng, can you help me get some higher-level crystal cores? I will exchange my points for them."
As soon as he heard this, Chen Qianfeng asked, "Brother, is a level 3 crystal core okay?"
When he asked this, he only intended to get level 2 crystal cores. But after hearing his younger brother’s words, Chen Qianxiao couldn’t help asking, "You can get level 3 crystal cores?"
"I can ask my Captain, but I can’t guarantee the amount. At most, I can only get 50 pieces for you," Chen Qianfeng said after calculating for a while.
Lately, their team had cleared several red zones and killed many level 3 zombies. Not to mention 50, their team should have more than 20,000 level 3 crystal cores.
However, high-level crystal cores were only used in emergencies. So, he didn’t know if his Captain would agree to exchange them for points. That was why he only dared to guarantee 50 pieces.
If it came to the worst, he would plead with his Sister-in-law. Even if his Captain wouldn’t agree, as long as his Sister-in-law agreed, there would be nothing he could do about it. Having a henpecked Captain also had its benefits.
Not knowing the shock his brother was experiencing, Chen Qianfeng swung his blade covered in ice and cut off several zombies’ heads. "Brother, I’m quite busy here. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up."
Regaining his composure, Chen Qianxiao said, "Mhmm, be careful during your mission."
"Okay."
