Chapter 257 They Have Conflicts
Zhang Ying looked at the man with a flat head.
The crew-haired man's expression remained unchanged by Zhang Ying's gaze. He smiled and explained, "Professor Yuan has agreed to let Deputy Director Li stay and be the head of the second laboratory."
"Nonsense! How come I don't know when I agreed to it!" Professor Yuan shouted angrily.
The crew-haired man seemed not to have heard Professor Yuan's voice. He continued calmly, "Before Director Zhang arrived, Professor Yuan was about to leave the laboratory and return to his residence to rest. You can indeed talk with Professor Yuan while walking."
The man with the flat head was Li Jun's confidant. He didn't know why Zhang Ying was here at this time. Normally, Zhang Ying and Li Jun had a good relationship, although sometimes Li Jun would give her a "little" trouble when it came to obtaining supplies. After all, supplies were in short supply in the apocalypse, and there were many important figures in the capital base with complicated relationships. It would be bad to offend anyone. Li Jun would only "slightly" withhold supplies from ordinary survivors when he had no choice.
Li Jun had never troubled Zhang Ying about the food, clothing, and other expenses of herself and her relatives. Therefore, after the flat-headed man told her about his plan, he hadn't thought that she would object.
After all, keeping Professor Yuan here would benefit the entire base. Who wouldn't want their own force to become stronger?
The confident tone and expression of the man with the flat head made the anger that had been hidden and suppressed deep in Zhang Ying's eyes burn uncontrollably.
Zhang Ying came from a good family, was capable, and had some luck, so after several waves of people had fought and died, he took the position of deputy base commander.
She genuinely cared about the survivors, and worked tirelessly to do the work in the base that had no pay and no one was willing to take over. She survived tenaciously in the cracks, and her passion for serving the people had not been completely extinguished.
Therefore, he had some complaints about the positions of several other deputy base commanders.
Who do you think you are? You, a dog of Li Jun, are worthy of yelling at me.
I've put up with those four selfish, arrogant, narcissistic bastards for so long, I've had enough. It's bad enough that you treat me like a shoo-in, but you don't even respect the dogs around me, throwing all the dirty work on me. The survivors I resettled were secretly brought here as "volunteers" and tricked into testing drugs. The children from my school, both boys and girls, who caught your eye were whisked away the next second and sent to the beds of the higher-ups. The evolved humans I just saved were just taken away without a word or any formalities, becoming cannon fodder for your mission.
You are a bunch of things worse than animals. Sooner or later, I will kill you all.
Zhang Ying cursed inwardly, but maintained a smile on her face. "I think Professor Yuan's opinions seem to differ from yours."
Everyone was stunned.
The man with the flat head looked annoyed. "Deputy Base Commander Zhang, what I said is what Deputy Base Commander Li meant."
"But I think we should respect Professor Yuan's opinion." Zhang Ying put away her smile. "We don't know how long we'll have to fight the zombies. The zombies are evolving much faster than we are. Our future may very well depend on the development of pharmaceuticals. We can't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs."
Zhang Ying ultimately gave Li Jun some face and didn't bluntly tell his subordinates: Li Jun kept Professor Yuan for his own political achievements. Otherwise, it would make no difference to the survivors whether the research results belonged to the Beicang Base or the Capital Base.
Zhang Ying is about the same height as the man with a flat head, but she likes to wear high heels, so when she looks at the man, her eyes are looking down. Although there is a smile on her face and in her eyes, this posture itself makes him uncomfortable.
But the man with the flat head couldn't just turn against Zhang Ying.
Zhang Ying's identity is the same as Li Jun's, both are deputy base commanders. If he hurts her here, the other three deputy base commanders will definitely be eager to hold Li Jun accountable.
The consequences of this are more serious than letting Professor Yuan go.
The four men are of the same mindset in looking down on women, but that doesn't stop them from being monolithic.
However, since Zhang Ying came here alone, as long as she wasn't hurt, no one would know what happened here... The man with the flat head said in a deep voice, "Captain Zhang, I'm sorry, I was only trying to complete the mission. If anything I did caused Deputy Captain Zhang to misunderstand, I hope you can forgive me."
Then he called out to his men outside the door: "Take Professor Yuan back to rest, and send Deputy Base Commander Zhang home as well."
Four Level 4 Evolved people armed with real guns and nuclear bombs rushed in. Zhao Lexi had seen the guns in their hands before. They were the Desert Eagles that Tang Jing had used to assassinate Liu Qinggang.
After the zombies besieged the base, Zhao Shiyun took the latest model to experiment with Zhao Lexi. The result was that the level 5 Zhao Lexi was faster than the Desert Eagle. The weapon posed no threat to her, but it was certain that it must be a nightmare for the level 4 evolved people.
"Put away your weapons, be gentle with your hands, we need to be polite!"
"Meow!"
Chengfeng arched his body, the hair on his back exploded, and a small whirlwind formed above his body.
The man with the flat head had a serious expression and immediately shouted, "Be careful!"
However, to his surprise, the little whirlwind did not target anyone on the side of the flat-headed man, but instead targeted Professor Yuan.
This was Gao Jue's advice to Zhao Lexi. If the opponent was stronger than Chengfeng, Chengfeng would attack Professor Yuan. Their goal was to keep Professor Yuan captive and prevent him from getting hurt. When the person Chengfeng couldn't defeat went to rescue Professor Yuan, Chengfeng could take advantage of the opportunity to injure them.
This move is unexpected and has an 80% chance of success.
Professor Yuan agreed: If they didn't save him, how could they have the nerve to keep him here? As for his own safety, Professor Yuan said that he had Zhao Lexi to back him up, so he wasn't worried.
The man with the flat head did not dare to hesitate and immediately threw a fireball to block Chengfeng's tornado.
Unfortunately, the fire took advantage of the wind and turned into a larger fireball that flew towards Professor Yuan, but at a slower speed.
"Damn it!" The man with a flat head immediately ran towards Professor Yuan.
At the same time, Chengfeng also jumped towards him, and when he was blocking the fireball, he bit his shoulder with his sharp teeth, drawing blood.
The other four people grabbed Zhao Lexi, Li Qiong, Professor Yuan and Zhang Ying respectively.
Zhao Lexi took Zhang Ying's hand and said with a smile, "Auntie, are you planning to send us away from the base?"
Zhang Ying didn't look panicked. She looked at Zhao Lexi calmly, as if she wanted to see through her thoughts: "Of course." Having resettled too many survivors, she would not look down on any child or elderly person.
Zhao Lexi raised her right hand: "Then let's go together! Before we go, let's set off some fireworks so that my brother can see them and come to pick me up."
Looking at Zhao Lexi's right hand again, there is a small bamboo tube as thick as a finger.
Zhang Ying's expression changed drastically.
She also has this kind of bomb, and the power of one is enough to destroy half of the laboratory!
She has at least four of them, and the entire lab is not enough for her to blow up.
Did she know that if the bomb was dropped, none of them would survive?
He is indeed ignorant and fearless.
Zhang Ying was so frightened that she immediately shouted, "Little sister, it's not necessary! Stop right there!"
The four people also saw the bomb in Zhao Lexi's hand and immediately stood still, not daring to move at all.
