Chapter 867: Struck A Deal
Chapter 867: Struck A Deal
After everyone took their seats, Jin Xuyan finally turned to Kelly and said, "It’s not impossible to bring you with us when we return to Huaxia. But we are on a mission and won’t leave until we complete it."
Hearing this, Kelly asked, "Comrade, is there anything I can help you with? I’ve lived in this place for more than 3 years. I can be your guide."
"We want to go to the Red Cliff Base. Do you know where it is?" Xiao Qi asked.
The moment he said this, Kelly nodded and replied, "Of course, I know. Red Cliff Base is our base. I’ve lived there since the 2nd month of the apocalypse. My team is also going back. If you want, we can travel together."
The members smiled and thought, "The fish that took the bait is a big one!"
The entire conversation was in the Thirteen Colonies language, so the members of the Angelus Lux Team could understand them.
Seeing that Kelly made the decision for the team by herself, Jane was unhappy. "Kelly, you are not even a core member. The Captain hasn’t even said a word. Who gave you the right to make the decision?"
As soon as she said this, Li Qixuan sneered and shot back, "And who the hell are you? Just an old and ugly monkey, yet you act as if you are a big shot."
The Phantom Team members glanced at him but said nothing. This guy rarely spoke, but when he did, he could poison people to death. His mouth was too poisonous!
Jane was so angry that her face turned red. She was only 21 years old, the age when collagen was most abundant. Compared to Kelly, she was much prettier and stronger.
She pointed her finger at him and shouted, "Are you blind?!"
Before her words fell, her body stiffened, and she collapsed to the ground with her eyes rolled back.
"Jane!"
Her team members were shocked by her sudden fainting and rushed over to check on her.
Sitting not far from them, Mo Junjie said, "Noisy."
With a flick of his finger, a thin black mist seeped out from Jane’s skin and returned to him. Seeing this, Bryan narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "What did you do to her?"
"She is just sleeping, not dead," Mo Junjie replied casually.
Before Bryan could demand any explanation, Jin Xuyan interrupted him. "My team needs a guide to the Red Cliff Base. We can give you some supplies as payment."
When he heard this, Bryan controlled his anger and said, "How much supplies can we get if we lead you to the Red Cliff Base?"
After he said this, Jiao Lizhi waved her hand and took out the rest of the mutant wolf leader’s meat from her space.
Besides that, she also took out 200 kilograms of flour, 100 kilograms of quinoa, several baskets of mutant chicken eggs, mutant vegetables, mutant fruits, mutant fish, and several barrels of fresh milk from mutant cows.
"Are these enough?" she asked.
Although the amount of supplies was not much, all of these were mutant crops and mutant meat. The value of these supplies was several times higher than that of ordinary supplies.
Bryan and his members’ eyes were filled with surprise and disbelief when they saw the supplies. With these supplies on the line, even if they disliked this foreign team, they still had to hold back their tempers.
After a moment of thought, he nodded. "It’s a deal."
"We will give you one-third of the supplies as a down payment. Another one-third will be given to you when we are halfway on the journey. The rest will be given to you when we arrive at the Red Cliff Base."
"Okay."
Now that they had reached an agreement, Bryan said, "I need 2 days to arrange my people. We will leave the day after tomorrow."
"No problem," Jin Xuyan nodded.
They were unfamiliar with this place, so they also needed time to gather more information and map the area.
While Bryan and his team returned with the supplies, Kelly said, "Captain, I will wait for you here."
Hearing this, Bryan gave her a deep look before he said, "Whatever."
Seeing him leave angrily, Kelly was confused.
Despite her doubts and confusion regarding her Captain, she was happy to be able to meet her countrymen in this foreign land. So, she threw the matter regarding her Captain’s bad mood to the back of her mind.
After the Angelus Lux Team left, Jiao Lizhi and Du Beiye went to scout the area. With their Systems, they could easily map the area.
At the same time, the members cleaned the lobby of the building so they could stay there temporarily. When they saw the puddles of black liquid, they couldn’t help but glance at Mo Junjie.
Xiao Qi collected the crystal cores while the members worked together to clean the entire floor. Standing behind them, Rong Qiaohui watched them work together with wide eyes.
Noticing her expression, Chen Qianfeng asked, "What’s with your expression?"
Coming back to her senses, she asked, "Comrade, may I ask what the average level of your team is?"
"Most of us are at level four, but some members are at level two. The stronger ones are at levels five and six."
Rong Qiaohui took a sharp breath when she heard this. She thought that the strongest one would be at level five. She didn’t expect that even the members were this strong.
"What about the Captain?" she asked.
"I don’t know. Our Captain didn’t tell us, and no one can gauge his level either," Chen Qianfeng replied casually.
For them to be unable to gauge the level of their Captain, there were only two possibilities. One was that the Captain was an ordinary person, which was impossible since he was the Captain.
So, there was only one possibility left. The Captain was at least two levels above the members, making them unable to see through his strength.
