Apocalypse Tree of Hope

Chapter 319
"What, is this stone so miraculous?" Ye Yicheng stared at the red stone in Lin Rantong's hand and said dumbfounded.

Lin Rantong nodded with a smile. Anyone who suddenly knew the usefulness of this stone would lose his composure.

Wei You snatched up the stone, looked at it for a long time, smacked his lips and said, "I really can't see it."

"Girl Lin, did you find this from the mountain behind the school?" After all, he was the chief who was used to seeing big scenes. After the initial excitement, Ye Yicheng calmed down and asked.

"That's right, it was found halfway up the mountain." Lin Rantong said.

Wei You hurriedly said, "How many?"

Lin Rantong pondered for a while and said: "Well, there is a piece of it exposed on the surface, I don't know if there is any inside."

"How did you discover the usefulness of this stone?" Wei You asked immediately.

Lin Rantong glanced at the silent Liu Lan and said: "Our Ivy team member Liu Lan discovered it, hehe, it's the one next to me."

Only then did the two chiefs turn their attention to Liu Lan's face. Seeing that she was an ordinary little girl, she didn't see the embarrassment of the high-level. Instead, she looked indifferent, and nodded: "Ivy is indeed a talent Cheers."

"Miss Liu, I heard Miss Lin said that the stone must be embedded in the weapon in a special way to be effective. I don't know the method..." Ye Yicheng said slowly.

Liu Lan seemed very unwilling to deal with these people, so she reluctantly said: "That method is not difficult, but it has something to do with my own special ability, and it may be difficult for others to do it."

Ye Yicheng and Wei You looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile wryly, how could everyone be snatched by ivy!
"Captain, didn't you tell me to meet Director Wu and borrow those advanced instruments to study the stone again?" Liu Lan couldn't help but said.

Lin Rantong smiled and said: "The two chiefs are sorry, Liu Lan has always put all her thoughts on researching weapons—"

"Understood, all strange people are like this." Wei You smiled and pressed the button.

Immediately there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Wei You said.

A young man pushed the door and entered: "Second chiefs, what are your orders?"

"Call Director Wu over immediately!" Wei You said.

"Yes." The young man bowed and retreated.

"Wait a minute." Liu Lan shouted, seeing several people looking at her, she said blankly, "I'll go directly."

"Uh, good, good." Ye and Wei said in unison. Now they are fully focused on the magical red stone, and they naturally don't care about the behavior of a little girl, let alone if the stone is really only a stone after research. If Liu Lan could be embedded in a weapon, she might be enshrined as an aunt.

"Xiao Liu, let Xiao Yan come in." Seeing the young man turning away with Liu Lan, Ye Yicheng said.

Not long after, Xiao Yan ran in panting: "Chief, what are your orders?"

Ye Yicheng frowned and looked at the young man who ran in: "Where did you go, why are you out of breath?"

Xiaoyan groaned for a moment, and secretly asked Chief Wei for help.

Wei You laughed and said, "This brat must be lazy again."

Xiao Yan immediately looked as if he had been wronged.

"Okay, don't wink. You should immediately notify Minister Qian and ask him to send troops to surround the mountain behind the school. In addition, notify the investigation department to investigate the entire base and its surrounding areas to see if there are any abnormal objects." Ye Yicheng said seriously. road.

"Yes!" Xiaoyan stood up straight and replied, then turned and ran out.

"Hehe, that brat belongs to Minister Yan's family. He said he was training hard, but he would be lazy whenever he had the chance." Ye Yicheng explained to Lin Rantong helplessly.

Lin Rantong pursed her lips. Although she was accurate in the circle of princelings, she really didn't know a lot of those people. However, this little Yan came here to work, and he was always better than those idle dudes.

"Lin girl, I heard that your lost husband has been found?" Wei You asked suddenly.

Lin Rantong's heart tightened. Liu Yuan looked like an ordinary person now, but she didn't have the confidence to be sure whether he was a human or... If he was really a perfect zombie like Mu Chi, he would always be recognizable. Once discovered by others, after finally restoring a peaceful life, there will be waves again.

She once asked about Liu Yuan's changes, and Liu Yuan was also confused. He didn't know whether these slow changes were evolving into a perfect zombie, or gradually returning to normal. The unanimous decision of the two was to wait and see what happened.

At this time, Lin Rantong was very sensitive about Liu Yuan's affairs, and he didn't want to make any troubles.

Seeing Lin Rantong's vigilance, Ye Yicheng and Wei You looked at each other, and then Wei You laughed loudly: "Girl Lin, the ugly daughter-in-law still needs to see her in-laws, not to mention that your husband is still a young man, so he has time to bring us these Look at the old guy, I want to see what kind of young man can marry our girl Lin."

"Definitely." Lin Rantong smiled, feeling a little relieved in his heart, secretly thinking that he should not be too sensitive.

The three of them chatted for a while, Lin Rantong intentionally changed the topic to the free mercenary department once, but Ye Yicheng took it lightly, so Lin Rantong didn't mention it anymore, and left after talking for a while .

After Lin Rantong went out, Wei You took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, took out one and handed it to Ye Yicheng, then lit one himself, took a deep puff and said, "Old Ye, it seems that what you said That's right, Lin Yatou's husband should be the friend of the dark-type power user she mentioned before."

Ye Yicheng was in a good mood at the moment, he laughed and said, "Girl, my husband is a dark-type supernatural being, why are you nervous, I'm afraid we'll catch him and study him."

"Haha, what you said, the kid from the old Tao family is being watched by Director Wu." Wei You laughed.

Ye Yicheng took a puff of his cigarette and said, "After today, I'm afraid Old Wu won't be in the mood to stare at Boy Tao."

Wei You nodded: "You're right, that Liu Lan is really a treasure. If the red stone really has such a magical effect, I think Old Wu will go crazy and break down. The old man should not get excited and have a heart attack." !” After saying that, Wei You jumped up.

Ye Yicheng looked at Wei You helplessly and said, "Don't worry, the old man is in better health than our brothers."

"That's right, but I really want to see the old man's expression now." Wei You said with a regretful look.

Ye Yicheng took a serious look at Wei You and said, "Old Wei, to be honest, what mood are you in now?"

Wei You said without hesitation: "What mood, I'm happy, you think, if the stone can really be embedded in weapons and used by ordinary people, wouldn't it be impossible to kill zombies, Lao Ye, we humans are saved Ah! what, you?"

Ye Yicheng took another puff of smoke and said: "Yes, I am also happy, and I am even more grateful to Lin Yatou for reporting this matter without selfishness. It's just that I was thinking, if ordinary people are armed with such weapons in the future, What kind of model should our government and free mercenaries get along with?"

Wei You was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Lao Ye, no wonder you didn't mention the appointment of Miss Lin as the head of the free mercenary department just now. Why, are you afraid that you won't be able to suppress her by then?"

Ye Yicheng smiled wryly: "Ashamed, I really had this thought at that time, so I didn't mention it for the time being, and I felt sorry for that girl. We were the ones who made this request at the beginning, and we found that the red stone took the initiative to report its purpose. It was Miss Lin, but when I thought about the changes in the future..."

Before finishing speaking, Wei You interrupted: "Lao Ye, you think too much. Let's not talk about how many red stones there are, and whether anyone else will use them except Liu Lan. Solve it, do you think that low-level superhumans and mutants are not so important at that time, as long as the army has that kind of weapon, they will have the absolute right to speak?"

"I can't talk about the absolute right to speak, but the current situation that the status of supernatural beings and mutants is becoming more and more lofty and gradually out of government control is probably going to change. Old Wei, have you ever thought about it, even if we have no selfish intentions, when the time comes What about others? Those ministers who were not ambitious figures in the officialdom before the end of the world, now that they have stopped, it is nothing more than that they are ordinary people, and they are really irresistible to people with supernatural powers. If they really have that kind of weapon, they will still Will you endure the current status of free mercenaries?" Ye Yicheng said slowly.

"Lao Ye, you are worried that there will be a fierce internal struggle at that time, right? So you want to stop twisting the free mercenaries into a single rope, so as not to be difficult to control in the future?" Wei You asked.

Ye Yicheng sighed: "The most intense struggle should be when both sides are evenly matched. If one side dominates, it will be peaceful."

Wei You glared at Ye Yicheng bitterly and said, "Lao Ye, if you want me to say you are confused!"

"how?"

"If you don't think about it, weapons are dead and people are alive. Even if ordinary people have weapons in their hands, even trained soldiers, their physical fitness is not as good as mutants and supernatural beings, let alone those The level of supernatural beings will continue to increase, and do you know how many of these stones are there? No matter how many there are, there will always be a day when they are used up. , If there are any disasters in the future, these mutants and supernatural beings will ultimately have to survive these crises. If the free mercenaries are scattered now, and the government has those weapons, although some people in the government They can gain the upper hand, but when the stones run out, the relationship between the free mercenaries and the government will be hostile, and they will definitely not support each other like they are now." Wei You said.

Ye Yicheng showed a blushed expression and said, "Old Wei, I'm the one who got a picture. I didn't expect you to see farther than me."

Wei You said with a smile: "Well, the main reason is that our stubborn stones often deal with zombies, and we know that they are the greatest enemies of human beings! Think about it, it is a good thing that these red stones appear, not to mention that the combat effectiveness against zombies has greatly increased. These ordinary people The status will not be as low as before, so that a certain balance has been reached with the free mercenaries, and it is more beneficial for all human beings to unite and fight against alien races."

"So, the head of the free mercenary department is Miss Lin?"
