Chapter 64 If You Can't Stop It, Join It

Chen Dalong answered the phone, and the first thing he said was: "Professor Xu, I'm sorry, we can't complete your mission. I will return the 1.5 million deposit to you in two days."

If it was before, Chen Dalong would have swallowed the deposit directly, but now he wants to continue to move up, especially to upgrade his military rank, so he can't be too hostile to these official institutions.

Xu Liang on the other side of the phone listened to a slight silence and said: "I know, I heard that your team has also lost 7 members. I apologize deeply. I am willing to give the 1.5 million as a pension to their families."

This time it was Chen Dalong's turn to be a little surprised, but he immediately nodded and said: "Okay, thank you on behalf of those brothers who died."

"You're welcome, this is what I should do. In addition, are you really not going to continue the mission? I heard that you can even hunt mutant wild boars in the top 30 of the dangerous list."

"Or we can sign a new contract. As long as the 'Life Essence' is researched, I am willing to pay you 20 million Chinese yuan." Xu Liang made a condition again.

This afternoon, when he got the news, he was shocked, and then he was nervous for the whole afternoon.

According to his understanding of Chen Dalong's character, the other party would come to his door in all likelihood to discuss the pension issue with him.

He was ready to bleed a lot, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't come.

Then he used his connections to inquire from many parties and learned the details of the matter.

Then he began to contact other security companies, hoping that someone would take this task.

But without exception, they were all rejected.

Later, after he asked his acquaintances, he learned that security companies generally would not take such tasks that needed to be carried out deep in the mountains and forests because they were too dangerous.

Although security companies would also encounter attacks from mutant creatures when performing escort missions, the situation was completely different.

Because when they were attacked, the battlefield was on the road, and the terrain here was open, which made it convenient for them to shoot.

In addition, with vehicles as cover, the safety factor could be significantly improved.

But after going deep into the mountains and forests, it was the territory of mutant creatures, and the degree of danger directly increased by two or three times.

Of course, the bottom line is that Xu Liang didn't have enough money.

If he could come up with 30 million instead of 3 million, then it wouldn't be a problem to invite the Star Shield Security Company, which ranks first in Yangcheng City, to perform the mission.

Xu Liang had no choice but to go around in circles, and finally came to Chen Dalong again.

According to what he learned, the strength of the Crazy Dragon Security Company was not bad at all.

Even mutant wild boars can be hunted.

And now Chen Dalong has been promoted to an honorary second lieutenant and has purchased 10 field automatic rifles. It's not an exaggeration to say that their strength has doubled.

More importantly, other security companies have to pay in cash, and Chen Dalong is the only one who agrees to sign a gambling agreement.

According to his estimate, 20 million is enough to make Chen Dalong excited. If it's not enough, he is even willing to increase the price to 30 million.

But what Xu Liang never expected was that Chen Dalong didn't hesitate at all and directly refused.

"Sorry, Professor Xu, I will never accept the mission. You can contact other security companies."

"Can you tell me the reason?" Xu Liang asked unwillingly.

"I believe in fate. I have fallen there twice. This is the revelation from God that I should not go there again." Chen Dalong said nonsense casually.

Xu Liang: "..."

Xu Liang really didn't know how to continue with this. He changed the subject abruptly, "Mr. Chen, I heard that your security company accepted the mission of clearing Yunyang Highway?"

"Professor Xu, you have inquired quite clearly!" Chen Dalong just teased, but did not continue.

"Hey! Then the area you focus on clearing must be the Dongling Mountains, right!"

"There are also many mutant plants in the Dongling Mountains. I hope you can bring me some mutant plants back. The requirements are not high, as long as the height is more than 50 meters."

"If the number is large enough, I may be able to extract the original liquid of life. At that time, I will also pay you 20 million Chinese yuan. How about it?" Xu Liang said the final plan.

This immediately moved Chen Dalong's heart.

The plants on the Dongling Mountains are quite tall. Not to mention 50 meters, even 70 or 80 meters should be found.

It's just that it's too dangerous there. If there's nothing important, the army won't go there, and no one will plan to go there.

And if it's on the way this time, it won't be a big problem.

The most important thing is that there are no revived creatures in it, so it should be feasible.

However, he still didn't say it for sure, but said: "Okay, I'll try it, but this kind of thing can't be guaranteed."

"Okay! No problem, thank you very much. If it really works, you will be our permanent partner of the research group, and similar tasks can be entrusted to you in the future." Xu Liang added a weight at the end.

The two sides chatted for a few more sentences, and then hung up the phone.

After a little thought, Chen Dalong picked up the phone and called the parrot.

"Hello! What's the matter?" The mutant parrot's slightly impatient voice came from the microphone.

At this time, Ye Feng was watching a movie, and it just reached the climax. Of course, he was unhappy to be interrupted at this time.

"Well, it's like this. Just now, the Yangcheng Research Institute called me again..." Chen Dalong repeated the previous conversation in detail.

Ye Feng, who was a little impatient at first, narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this.

Although he knew that some institutions had been studying mutant plants before, he was not clear about the content of the research.

But now...

"You just said that the function of the life fluid is to heal injuries quickly. If the experiment at the Yangcheng Research Institute is successful, can it be prepared on a large scale in the future?" Ye Feng said with narrowed eyes.

"Yes! According to Professor Xu Liang's description, after the life fluid is extracted, it can at least increase our healing speed by 10 times, and the application prospects are very broad." Chen Dalong answered honestly.

His words made Ye Feng's back chill.

Imagine what would happen if this life fluid was really studied?

There is no doubt that all mutant plants will suffer and become the raw materials for making life fluid.

His first thought was to stop this research.

But soon, he realized that this idea was not feasible.

He could ask Chen Dalong not to accept this task, but the other party could also find other security companies.

Of course, with the strength of his men, he could even stop all security companies from obtaining materials from mutant plants.

But what happens next?

He didn't believe that the research would stop like this. If the experiment could not be completed in Yangcheng, the other party could still cooperate with research institutes in other cities. How could he stop it then?

What's more, Yangcheng Research Institute could develop something.

He didn't believe that other research institutes, especially those large research institutes in first-tier cities, or even the Chinese Academy of Sciences, had not carried out research in this area.

So the original liquid of life would appear sooner or later, and the result would be the same.

If you want to protect yourself and not be targeted, then there is only one way.

Not only can he not stop it, but he has to join it and take advantage of the other party's weakness to get the dominant position.

As long as you get the dominant position, there will be a lot of room for operation in the future.
