Chapter 407 - One Plus One Equals Three (1/2)
Theup and down the range; the red leaves were like flames
The scenery was picturesque but Xia Lei was in no ly anxious the closer they got to thatnow?”
This was his third ti’s first answer: Just a s’s second answer: You’ll knohen you see her
This tihed “Okay, I’ll tell you She’s goneto believe it He clearly re not to interact with those two pieces of alloy when he’d left, but so had still happened to her
A hint of puzzle’s voice “I didn’t quite believe it when I received the notice either But I’ve seen the too They were definitely mad The best specialist doctors in the nation had examined them but they could not find the cause It seems to be a collective disease, and the cause is unexplained… This is very strange”
The ies of the two pieces of ancient alloy and the bronze book surfaced in Xia Lei’shad finally gotten out of the shadow of her parents to pursue her own happiness and live her own life, but she had unexpectedly run into this sort of thing now She really was an unfortunate wo Jing played like a video and Xia Lei’s heart filled with hurt and worry He had always treated Ning Jing as a good friend and he could not accept the fact that she had gone hed “I know you’re close with Doctor Ning but don’t be so worried She and those experts have not beenthe about it “I hope so She’s actually quite a pitiful woman”
“Many women are pitiful creatures in need of help in your eyes”
Xia Lei s with me I’m not in the mood now” After a pause, he added, “Tell me - was it you anted her-ups who specified that I should co was silent for a bit before she said, “The people in the research group are either dying or going mad If it were up to her-ups”
“Boss shi+?”
“I don’t know the details of thisthat he’s just the h the order came from him The research project on the mysterious alloy is on of the nation’s e Boss shi+ cannot oversee such an ih I don’t know either,” said Long Bing
It was aindustry of a nation and raise the standing of the whole of China on a global scale - if one looked at it this way, then Boss shi+’s status was definitely not high enough to have this sort of responsibility
Xia Lei thought for a bit and said, “Then why are they getting er of that alloy is apparent - people who have coo et involved”
“I think that soher-ups is of the opinion that you’ll be fine since you were the one who excavated the alloy in Afghanistan Besides, you’ll get soher-ups want you to try soh “They didn’t want me to interact with the alloy in the past because they were afraid that I’d learn some secret and now that those experts are either dead or mad and there’s no one else, they think of me A Bing rolled her eyes at Xia Lei “Other people can only dreaains and losses are insignificant when corew silent and did not continue the conversation He’d put on a show of unwillingness but he was actually quite willing indeed He had been waiting for the opportunity to come into contact with the ancient alloy and that bronze book and this opportunity had landed on his lap now Why would he reject it?
There was still a risk since the people who had coone mad, but hoas he to unravel thethis bit of risk?
His career progression and how much money he made were not the most important to Xia Lei What mattered most was to unravel the mysteries of the ancient alloy and AE!
Thehanded Xia Lei an entrance pass when they alighted
Xia Lei looked at the card It had his picture, a netic strip and the words ‘Special Authority’ He asked curiously, “What does ‘Special Authority’ mean?”
“ItLei You can freely enter and exit this base if you coulations You can transport whichever resources you need for your use, including manpower You also have the authority to mobilise so you?”
Long Bing looked back at hiive you a beating, then my answer is ‘Yes’”
So it was a yes
Ordering Long Bing around? This was the first time Xia Lei had this sort of authority and it all felt quite strange to hi special authority was quite different The soldiers guarding the passageway in the research area did not conduct a body search on Xia Lei and only reminded him to leave his mobile phone behind Xia Lei had to remove the necklace from around his neck the last time but there was no need for that this time
He left his phone in their care and followed Long Bing into the research area in theto where they had been before - the area where the ancient alloy was being studied
This area was sealed off and so the entrance and exit to the passageway The lights were on but there was no sign of activity It was quiet and the area was filled with a gloo to look at the research area or at those experts first?” said Long Bing
“Ning Jing and those experts are not in there?” asked Xia Lei
“That place is a very dangerous place to those experts no could we still allow them to remain in there? They’ve been moved to another zone”
“Then let’s first see the people”
Long Bing led him to another zone and they arrived a fewsoldiers too They showed their passes and were given clearance to enter
